1 REGULAR BOWIE MEETING j BEGINS TODAY I . . . . A BOWIE, Md., Nov. 15. After two days of charity racing for the benefit of the unemployed of Maryland, the Southern Maryland Association will begin its regular meeting tomorrow. For this regular opening the program offered is a particularly attractive one with the W. P. Burch Memorial Handicap and the Combat Purse as the features of the day. The Burch Memorial, a tribute to the memory of a sterling old sportsman of the American turf, is a mile and a sixteenth, for three-year-olds and over, and George D. Wideners Jack High is at the top with 126 pounds as his burden. St. Brideaux, the Greentree Stable four-year-old, which ran such a good race in the Riggs at Pimlico last Saturday, is to take up 115 pounds. Mrs. John Hertz is represented by Valenciennes, and the C. V. Whitney hope is Halcyon. Others in the field are Snap Back, Pardee and the good mare Kincsen. The Combat Purse is confined to the three-year-olds and it is also over the mile and a sixteenth distance. Only five are named and of these C. V. Whitney is represented by Mad Frump, winner of the opening day feature, and Clotho. Masked Knight will race for G. H. Bostwick, and Dr. J. Fred Adams has Rehoboth as his starter. The others are Microphone, from the Sage Stable, and Sylvester W. Labrots Springsteel. From such a field there should come a first class contest.
