C. E. ALLEN. C.E. ALLEN RIDING STAR ♦ Pilots Three Winners at Louisville Including Feature Victress. » Lady Broadcast Defeats Odds-On Silverdale in Western Parkway Claiming Purse — Fast Track. • LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 17. — Jockey Charles E. Allen, who has been showing his finest skill throughout the meeting, ended another good day in the saddle when he beat Silverdale, odds-on favorite, with Lady Broadcast in the Western Parkway Claiming Purse, the principa 1 race at Churchill Downs this afternoon. It was Allens third winning ride of the day and, showing a confident, well judged and strong effort, he directed the Herbert M. Woolf mare to the finish a length and one-half before Silverdale, which barely lasted for second over Street Singer. Previously, Allen won with Dominant Miss and Dis Dat and, while his third victory was a blow to many in the large crowd, he received a deserved applause for his fine work. STREET SINGER THIRD. Silverdale, hammered down to 67 to 100 in the betting, was sent out by Eddie Ambrose to show the way from the end of the first quarter, but found the distance with such a sturdy finisher as Lady Broadcast too far, and it was only by inches that Ambrose succeeded in keeping him going well enough to prove the runner-up. After being rated well in hand for three-quarters, Lady Broadcast easily overtook Silverdale, and in the final sixteenth drew away slowly as Street Singer and Silverdale fought it out in her dust. Ridgeview, which finished fourth, showed a good effort, while Scotlands Glory and Zone dropped far out of the race after showing early speed. Offered under clear skies, the racing brought out the largest crowd of the week, and track conditions could not have been improved upon. Dominant Miss, carrying the T. C. Piatt colors and coupled in the betting with Miss Cameron, was returned an easy winner of the opening race, for maiden two-year-olds and for which Cynara, which finished third, ruled a pronounced favorite. Dusky Lass "split" the winner and favorite for second honors and the winners stable companion, Miss Cameron, was fourth. Two of the twelve that started were eliminated almost before the race was under way. Terry Lass wheeled at the starting point and Nest Egg unseated F. Burley before going a quarter. WINS EASILY. Sprinting into a decisive lead on the turn, the winner retained her advantage for the remainder of the five-eighths and won by four lengths as Dusky Lass outstayed Cynara by a half length. C. E. Allen rode his second winner when he drove the French Lick Springs Stables Dis Dat to victory over Dyak, I Pass and four other three-year-olds in the Magnolia Claiming Purse, or second race. Allen had to go to a drive on the winner and it was only by a neck that he outfinished Dyak, which led I Pass by slightly more than a length. After being restrained back of the pace set by I Pass, the winner came through resolutely when called upon but after racing into command, tired and Dyak was rapidly wearing him down in the final stages. Crystal Prince, strong second choice to the winner, never threatened seriously and was fourth. Arouse, the unsexed son of Hildur, which races for J. J. Flanigan, local owner, scored his second victory in as many starts when he got up in a thrilling, driving finish to win over Palatine, Dreamy Belle and others of the cheaper grade juveniles in the third race, also over five furlongs. Arouse had to be much the best to win as he lacked room in the early stages and had to make up much ground to overtake Palatine, Dreamy Belle and others in the stretch. Jane Boggess and Merovech, the early leaders, slowly gave way to Dreamy Belle and then Palatine after straightening up in the stretch and after coming to the outside in the final eighth, the winner showed a bit too much speed for the new leaders, Continued on thirteenth page.

Elston made up the combination in the three-quarters fourth race, and the running found the C. V. Whitney gelding so much the superior that he won in a canter and by four lengths from Birthday Gift. Next among the seven that started to finish the dash was Doris Jean, which found strong backing, and but for a bit of adverse luck and a timid ride by E. Pool, might have been a stronger factor. Smear came around Birthday Gift to the lead after reaching the last quarter and, opening up a commanding margin, he was not fully extended the closing furlong. *
