GOLDEN DEEDS IN A CANTER Defeats Screen Idol and Polygeny in Juvenile Race at Dade Park. Jake Heupel Continues to Pilot" Winners on Kentucky Track Fulfill Scores His First Victory in Easy Fashion. HENDERSON, Ky., Aug. 25 Todays racing at Dade Park provided just about the most ordinary sport of the meeting. The regular daily event for maiden two-year-olds excepted, the claiming clause was included in conditions for the seven races and, while several contests closed in interesting finishes, the sport as a whole offered little to excite the large crowd that braved the threatening skies. Again the racing strip was fast and the low quality of those under colors nothwithstanding, comparatively good time was turned in by several of the winners. Golden Deeds, which races for W. W. Williamson of Lexington, was among the more decisive winners of the day. She scored in "a. romp over Screen Idol, Polygeny and seven other lowly juveniles in the third race, at five and one-half furlongs. The veteran Jake Heupel, who has been showing all of his old skill in the saddle here, had the mount on the winner and, while not required to exercise any super-ability, turned in an example of post riding and rating. Off in front, Golden Deeds never was headed and, entering the stretch, drew away into a long and safe lead. Throughout the running Screen Idol was a prominent factor and, after disposing of Boston Common for second position, held that place to the wire. Polygeny, the favorite, had trouble obtaining ample room early, and Smart Lady was crowded out of the real running at the stretch turn. Racing to hisjfast trials, Fulfill, in the W. H. Whitehouse stable, decisively defeated Chestnut Tree, Axtel and the nine other maiden juveniles of his sex that opposed him at five and one-half furlongs in the second race. Fulfill made his own pace and, after drawing into a long lead entering the stretch, maintained decisive command to the end, where he was four lengths before Chestnut Tree, which saved second by a half-length. Careening into each other at the start, the erratic Machilla and Gun Strap were left. R. F. Coppage left for his home at Car-ruthersville, Mo., for a short visit, but plans to return another visit before the close of the meeting.
