GLYNS OFFSPRING WIN Plumage and Glynson Triumph in Latonias Best Races. Daughter of Ballot and the Son ol Chance Play at Home in Muddy Going. LATONIA, Ky., Oct. 18. Glyn, the daughter of Delhi, which won many race3 before iatonia patrons, was strikingly brought back to the menory of those who attended todays racing at that local course, when Plumage and Glynson accounted for two of the best races on the card. Both the four-year-old filly Plumage, which races for Sewell Combs, and the two-year-old colt, Glynson, owned by A. B. Gallaher, are from Glyn, which was raced by Combs and Gallaher and since her retirement has been- a consistent producer of winners. Like their dam, Plumage and Glynson revelled in the muddy, almost watery going that prevailed and their victories, easily achieved, were popular and among an unusually high number scored by the betting choices during the damp, cloudy afternoon. The diminutive Plumage, which was sired by Ballot, scored in the Milldale Claiming Purse, sprint feature in which Rusty, Shaker Lady, Lonell and Rose Twig opposed her over the six furlongs distance and her younger half-brother, sired by Chance Play, had no trouble vanquishing Well Shod, Soeur Blanche and nine others of his age at the same distance in the Licking Valley Purse, which was fifth on the attractive program. PLUMAGE TOO SPEEDY. Plumage, ridden by George South, the clever apprentice, was too speedy for her rivals at all stages and, drawing away in the stretch, won by five lengths from Rusty, the second choice. The latter defeated Shaker Lady by a like margin and Lonell was fourth. Glynson had the advantage of Through Omonds pace for a half mile and when called on by O. Laidley, after reaching the stretch, soon had a safe advantage. Finishing with a rush, Well Shod and Soeur Blanche furnished an interesting tilt for second, which eventually went to the former by a head. Tiring badly in the stretch, Through Omond was fourth. Soeur Blanche was coupled in the betting with Double Shuffle. Despite threatening weather, the usual large crowd was out, and it was a profitable day for many, as betting choices took purse after purse and scored their fifth success in as many successive races when Deemster nosed out Roxie Weidel in the sixth. Deemster had a very close call and just lasted for one of the closest decisions of the meeting. The leaders fought it out some six lengths before Dixie Lad, and Seths Ballot took the fourth part of the purse. After many opportunities Palatine came through with his first victorious effort when he decisively defeated Simon, High Complexion and nine other maiden two-year-olds brought together under lower claiming scale and at three-quarters in the opening contest of the day. The winner, guided by C. Lan-dolt, drew into command at the stretch turn, where he supplanted Jim Macaw in the lead and, drawing clear, was well out of danger in the final three-sixteenths. In the closing eighth Jim Macaw, which closed favorite, also gave way to Simon and High Complexion. SCORES AT ODDS-ON. Jake Lowenstein saddled another winner when his Doris Jean, which closed, at odds-on, romped to" victory over Lady Couvin, Princess A. O. and six other fillies and mares in the second race. The distance was three-quarters, and the winner led throughout. She was ridden by G. Elston. Several of the better grade and more highly regarded two-year-olds were among the twelve that started at three-quarters in the Morning View Purse, the third race, but it also saw the winner score in decisive fashion. Levaal, R. W. Collins good homebred, was the victor and he vanquished Uncle Donald, Sabula and the others without full effort. The winner, coupled in the betting with Lee Gold, was the popular choice. Right at home in the mud and away fast, Levaal was sent along in the lead by Hal Tinker and, after showing the way under steadying restraint for a half-mile, readily increased his advantage when lightly shaken up swinging into the closing quarter. Here Sabula was second and Lee Gold third. Uncle Donald, which began slowly, was moving up fast and, continuing his charge through the stretch, was up for second, four lengths back n the winner and a haad bafora Sahul
