Fowler — Rider Suffers Fractured Shoulder. LATONIA, Ky., July 2.— T. C. Gearys Ramrod, a gelded son of Cherokee and Dark Rose, stamped himself one of the best two-year-olds here in winning the Mariemont Purse, the five-furlong feature of Mondays program at Latonia. He won off by himself with the greatest of ease from a band of five other juveniles and never at any stage of the journey was he extended. j Empress Wu, from the Cattell Stable, was , second and W. F. Axtons Ruths Hope third, j j Sora, Ellen Fisher and Mucho Gusto were j i the only other starters. j An unfortunate mishap occurred after the horses had been at the post two minutes when Sora became unmanageable behind the starting machine and ran headlong into the lead pony, throwing both his own rider, G. Fowler, and Joe Moran, the outrider. Both were stunned and Fowler, it was found, had suffered a shoulder fracture. Moran escaped with a shaking up. Fowler was rushed to the track hospital and later to St. Elizabeths Hospital in Covington, where he was to undergo an X-ray examination. The start of the race was delayed fifteen minutes while Sora was taken back to the paddock for another rider, J. Meyer, and j another six minutes due to the fractiousness of Sora, Ellen Fisher and Ruths Hope. When the start finally came Ramrod went J into an immediate lead, which he stretched to four lengths at the head of the stretch. From there on he was under a strong hold by G. Elston and won easily. Ruths Hope was closest to the pace to the stretch, where Empress Wu, which came from behind, moved up to take second place. The others finished far back. In what was offered as a secondary at-I traction Mose Goldblatts Chimney Sweep drove home an easy winner. Moving up from a rear position on the turn Chimney Continued on thirtieth page. . J .

Sweep got to the front entering the straightaway and won by three lengths. Lonell, which raced Busy Ven into defeat in the first three furlongs, took second money, just lasting to nose out the fast closing Royal Sport, which came fast at the head of the stretch. Chimmey Sweep, a well-backed favorite, | was ridden by D. Taylor, who was scoring his first victory of the afternoon. The weather was temperate, clearing up after i being cloudy for the first race, and a fair sized Monday crowd was in attendance. j Eight two-year-olds met in the opening | event at five furlongs, and the winner turned up in W. C. Goodloes Cynwyd, which beat the more favored Mary T. three parts of a length. L. McDermott, astride Cynwyd, | restrained his mount behind the pace of Mary T. until they reached the stretch, where the ultimate winner began to close in on the pacemaker. In the last sixteenth Cynwyd caught and then passed Mary T. | to score. Pokeaway was third, some five ; lengths behind the leaders and only a head in front of Leo B. Gobct, which was the biggest contributor to a long delay at the post, might have proved more dangerous but for turning wide into the home stretch. Mrs. William Crumps Prince Han ran a brilliant race to account for the second race on the card and to graduate from the maiden two-year-old ranks. Among the last to get away and still more than eight lengths behind the lead at the eighth post, Prince Han literally ran over horses in the last furlong to get the decision by a half-length. It was largely the confident and capable handling of jockey R. Finnerty that enabled the Crump representative to score. Aunt Myrtle was second and Monks Shawl third. H. G. Shoemakers Twill, second in seven i of his previous nine starts at the meeting, was made a prohibitive favorite in the third | race and finished second once again. This time G. J. Mandles Vesee took his measure, leading him to the wire at the end of the mile and an eighth by a length and a half. After following Redivivus pace for most of the journey, Twill got to the front midway of the home stretch, but he could not withstand the closing rush of Vesee, which also raced well up throughout. Third money went to Respond. Another odds-on favorite was beaten when Chauvinism finished second to W. C. Goodloes Rose Moss in the fourth race, a sprint of six furlongs. The victory of Rose Moss completed a double for the Goodloe stable, which also accounted for the first race. Rose Moss raced in last place to the stretch where L. McDermott began his drive, a drive that landed him in front by a head. Chauvinism began in front, but Taylor took her back of the pace, permitting Midson to lead to the stretch. Here Chauvinism took command-and held sway to the final seventy yards, where Rose Moss caught her. Mary-nell showed some early speed but tired after turning into the straightaway.
