Time Supply, Roman Soldier to Clash in Laurel Handicap Triple Feature Offered at Laurel Saturday Maryland Futurity and Bowling Brook Handicap the Supplementary Attractions. LAUREL, Md.t Oct 16. Triple features are offered on the excellent Saturday card at the Laurel plant of the Maryland State Fair, Inc. Heading the program is the Laurel Handicap, at one mile, open to horses of all age3 and carrying an added value of ,000. In this, nine shifty campaigners have been named. Racing secretary John P. Turner has placed Mrs. F. A. Carreauds five-year-old Time Supply at the head of the list in the matter of weights, allotting the son of Time Maker and Surplice 120 pounds. The weight seems justified on the record of Time Supply, whose recent third to Rosemont and Discovery in the Narragansett Special was a corking effort With only one pound less than Time Supply is asked to carry, Elwood Sachsen-maiers Roman Soldier is next in line. The valiant four-year-old son of Cohort and Miamba accounted for the Havre de Grace Handicap impressively and is certain to come in for stout support in the Laurel. Next in line in the matter of weights comes Mrs. Emil Denemarks Finance, which is asked to carry 112 pounds, while Billy Bee, Bomar Stables representative, will tote 109 pounds. These four alone should make for an interesting race, while the light weights of the field must always be considered dangerous. Saturdays running of the Laurel is the twenty-third. Last year the Brook-meade Stables Psychic Bid accounted for the race. FOURTEEN NAMED. Supporting the feature and a high light in its own right comes the sixth running of the Maryland Futurity, which is offered as the fourth race. This fixture is also endowed with a purse of ,000 and is certain, under the conditions, to gross an amount far in excess of that figures to the winner. The distance of the Futurity is six furlongs. Fourteen have been named through the entry box, with favoritism likely to rest with Mrs. J. Bosleys unbeaten Bettys Buddy. The son of Bud Lerner and Neddie scored impressively in his two trips to the post and merits the confidence that is certain to be placed in him. J. Y. Christmas Rough Time, which coasted to victory in Iiis most recent race, appears to be the chief contender. The Bowling Brook Handicap, at one mile and one furlong, rounds out the three specials. While there are but seven named in this race the caliber of the entries is excellent being headed in the matter of weights by F. M. Alger, Jr.s Azucar, which has been allotted 120 pounds. Altogether the card is one of which the Laurel management and racing secretary John P. Turner can well be proud.
