ANOTHER FOR MOON SIDE Victory in Tuscarora Purse Fourth Straight in Maryland This Fall. Leads All the Way to Beat Mantagna and Bookmaker Good Crowd Despite Inclement Weather. LAUREL, Md, Oct. 9. Moon Side, Edward Kanes vastly-improved four-year-old gelding by Broadside Over the Moon, scored his most impressive victory in winning the Tuscarora Purse, which featured this afternoons program at the Maryland State Fair course. Despite threatening and frequently drizzling weather, the crowd was above expectations. The light showers caused the track to be wet on top and it was officially designated as good. The victory scored by Moon Side was his fourth in as many starts during the fall season in Maryland. Claimed at Aqueduct for ,500, Moon Side was second in his first appearance under the Kane banner, which was at the New York track, and then he won at Havre de Grace in a ,500 claiming affair. This was followed by a pair of successes in Class "C" handicaps at the Harford course. Under an impost of 110 pounds Moon Side today went to the front immediately after the start, to lead all the way and finish the mile and one-sixteenth in 1:45, considered excellent time in view of the track condition. He crossed the line a length and one-half to the good of Maemere Farms Mantagna, while E. R. Bradleys Bootmaker was less than a length away in third position. Treford completed the field some distance back. Moon Side was ridden by L. Coffman, who had him three lengths in front entering the stretch. Bootmaker had been in nearest pursuit, followed by Mantagna as Treford lacked speed. With this advantage the Broadside gelding was able to hold his rivals safe in the run through the final straightaway, where Mantagna ran down Bootmaker. CIIASAK IN BEST FORM. Chasar was in his best form in the fifth race, and came from last place in the final quarter mile of the mile and one-sixteenth event to defeat four other ,000 platers, and give Mrs. Emll Denemarks successful stable another victory. The five-year-old gelding by Crusader from La Belle Helene, ridden by ! Jack Westrope and substantially backed, ran the distance in 1:46 over the greasy track to win by a length from Silent Shot, represent ing J. E. Hughes, while F. A. Carreauds Cantine Lass was a length and a half away in third place. Must Be and Buck Lang-horne completed the field. The latter and Silent Shot vied for favoritism. The Denemark veteran dropped back right after the start and Westrope was content to rate him along in that. position until, midway on the final turn where Chasar began his move. He went to the leaders readily and then came through on the inside of Buck Langhorne to go after the leaders. He had Silent Shot and Cantine Lass overtaken at the furlong post and thereafter drew away under Westropes strong handling. Silent Shot outgamed Cantine Lass as Must Be weakened. SAVAGE BEAUTY SPARKLES. Branncastle Farms Savage Beauty, favorite over eleven other maiden two-year-old fillies, had to be much the best to account for the opening event, at six furlongs. Among the sufferers in a poor start, the bay daughter of Challenger II. Khara made up ground steadily on the inside under the riding of Joe Renick and, when the leaders swung wide into the stretch, she rushed to the front to win by a length and one-half over Careful Miss as Keyword was third, two lengths farther back. Aero was the early leader, but she tired badly after losing command at the stretch turn. Swimalong, owned by Mrs. Arthur White, led all the way over the two-mile course to capture the steeplechase, finishing with two lengths to spare over Greentree Stables i Budget Boy, which, coupled with Champs I Elysees, was the favorite. L. C. Leiths Daffy was third among the nine starters as Blue Vision took fourth honors. Champs Elysees, considered the most formidable half of the Greentree entry, was far Back for a turn and a half of the field, after which he gained steadily until he broke down approaching the thirteenth fence and was pulled up. Stare fell at that fence and was knocked out for several minutes. RUNS OUT AGAIN. Capstan ran out for the second time during the meeting, repeating the habit for which he was barred here last year and after his performance today many persons in the large crowd could not understand why . the stewards had not kept the ruling in force. Philippi Boy had too much speed for the eleven other platers meeting at six furlongs i in the third race and carried the E. C. Sachse colors to an easy triumph. Flavor, the favor- I ite, tried hard to overtake the four-year-old Philippi gelding in the .early part of the stretch, but he was not good enough and was defeated by three lengths. Sir Kai came from far back to be third by a narrow margin over Jakovia and Marson. Albuquerque tired after being in a contending position at the stretch turn. L. Balaski rode the "winner and had him in a clear lead soon after the start F. A. Griffiths Hi-Sweet, a son of Hi-Jack Sugar Kiss, displayed a powerful performance to win the fourth race by two lengths over Danarco as the favored Offender was third among the fourteen juveniles meeting at six furlongs. Hi-Sweet was off poorly in a bad start, but he gained steadily on the outside while under slight restraint, and even though going around the field on the turn at a considerable loss of ground, was at the heels of the leaders for the stretch run. Harry Richards put him to a drive and he went past Danarco easily to win going away. The latter was well up throughout and took command at the head of the stretch as Miss Pecan tired. Offender had no excuse, saving ground at the final turn as the leaders raced wide-. -
