THREE DS HANDICAP FIELD Best Program of Current Arlington Downs Meeting Scheduled for This Afternoon. ARLINGTON, Texas, April 2. The best program of the meeting is arranged for the first Saturday of the Arlington Downs spring season tomorrow. Ten good sprinters were named for the revamped Three Ds Handicap, which was opened to three-year-olds and upward and shortened to six furlongs, and eleven topnotch platers will meet in the Worth Hotel Purse, which will serve as the fourth event and secondary attraction. The six other races are well-balanced and, with prospects for a continuation of the spring weather, by far the largest crowd of the meeting is expected. Nearly all the box seats have been sold, and reservations in the clubhouse surpass the number for the first Saturday last fall. The field for the Three Ds Handicap, with post positions, weights and jockeys, follows: PP. Horse. Wt. Jockey. 1 tWoodlander . . . .103 W. Cornay 2 JDogaway 106 A. Robertson 3 Boston Sound.... 113 H.
