OTHERWISEUNDEFEATED JV. E. Smiths Star Adds Another Purse to His Earnings. Jtain Falls in Torrents at Latonia In High Finishes Second in the Juvenile Race. LATONIA, Ky., June 27. Otherwise, the splendid unsexed son of Wise Counsellor and Kitty Yansen, bred and owned by William E. Smith, of Louisville, was the star of the afternoon as the second program of the Latonia Jockey Clubs summer meeting was staged under most trying conditions today. Otherwise kept his record unblemished when he easily defeated Dixianas In High, C. V. .Whitneys Angkor and four other two-year-plds in the Eden Park Purse, the principal race onthe good program that was run on a sloppy track and through hard, driving rains that at times during the afternoon gained such volume that it was difficult to distinguish colors carried by the racers. The weather, the most unpleasant in several years, held the attendance to small proportions, yet prevailing conditions considered, the turn-out was surprisingly large. JRain fell throughout the day and a torrential fall that developed shortly before racing time was largely responsible for the small crowd. FOUR IN A ROW. In scoring this fourth victory in as many starts, Otherwise was not fully extended and .the speed he displayed and the ease with .which he won left no doubt that if he continues to train well, he will have as much ,to say about the championship honors in his division. He is eligible for the Cincinnati Trophy, to be renewed here July 16, and it will mark his first stake engagement. With the crafty Earl Pool in the saddle, Otherwise left the starting stalls in stride and, showing fine speed in the slop, soon idrew clear of In High, with Angkor third, and the others well strung out. On the stretch turn the Smith gelding swiftly increased his advantage over In High, following which he continued gamely for the remainder of the five and one-half furlongs, winning by two and one-half lengths and in the fine time of 1:09. In High defeated Angkor by six lengths for second and the ifinish found Blondella, which was fourth, two lengths back of the Whitney colt. Otherwise carried 114 pounds, receiving two pounds from In High and Angkor had 109 pounds. Otherwise was honored with the post of favoritism. Track conditions resulted in a number of withdrawals and small fields paraded in a majority of the seven races. EASY FOR BETTINA H. Eettina H., a black daughter of Nocturnal and Our Betsy, was an easy winner under A JL. Fergusons colors in the opening race for maiden juvenile fillies, over five and one-half furlongs. She set her own pace and jwell suited by the going, came away after reaching the stretch to win by four lengths, Jwith Cynara second and Moms Polly third. Stimoway, favorite, tired in the final stages after making a mild challenge entering the Jast eighth. Overtaking Shaker Lady and Tadcaster fwith belated speed, E. A Iglehearts Bay An-gon, ridden by G. South, won the hree-quar-iters second race by two and one-half lengths from Shaker Lady, with Tadcaster a nose ifarther back. After being headed by the winner, Tadcaster tired badly and Shaker Lady headed him right at the end. Tadcaster was indulged with the pacemaking and for five-jeighths flattered by holding a good lead, only to falter in the last sixteenth. Some interference, in which Suniday was the chief sufferer, marked the race, which was run in a near deluge. Only six fillies and mares remained to start the fourth race, over one mile and seventy yards, but they provided a fractious band and there was a long delay at the post hefore they were sent on their way to provide the oddest run race of the wet afternoon. W. F. Knebelkamp furnished the winner in Winona Lady and she won off by six lengths, with Mai San second and Cheronap third. For the first half mile Dazetta showed the way by eight lengths, but the winner readily wore her down on the lower turn Continued on twenty-first page. OTHERWISE UNDEFEATED Continued from first page. and then drew away fast as Mai San and Cheronap finished in game fashion. The latter lacked room near the end when Mai San bore over. Adsum, ridden by J. McCoy in the Tennessee Breeders Associations colors, made every post a winning one, over Brass Monkey, Royal Sport and five other distance platers in the mile and one-sixteenth of the fifth race. After making the pace for three-quarters under restraint, the winner withstood a weak challenge from Royal Sport and was not seriously threatened by Brass Monkey, after the latter supplanted Royal Sport as the runner-up a few yards from the wire. Vesee was fourth and Sandwrack next to reach the finish.
