At the end he j was a length and a half clear of Sanf ord Stud Farms heavily supported favorite, Sunport, j which was coming off distance races and was simply unequal to the task of catching 3 a horse that ran as fast as Gay Balko ran this afternoon.

Maloney was the riding star of the afternoon scoring a triple. The track as the time of the feature indicates was fast. It snowed last night in Rhode Island but that did not affect track conditions. A small crowd braved the chilly breezes for the sport. Earl Maloney piloted L. H. Smiths Little Tarzan to victory by a length and a half " in the six furlongs event that opened the sport. P. Mecklenburgs Leo D. finished second two and a half lengths in advance of J. G. Fairs Lorraine S. The latter had just a nose to spare over Squawker. The winner finished out in 1:12. Little Tarzan went to the front of Leo D. in the run to the far turn, and began to draw away around that turn. He began to bear out in the stretch, but Leo D. was unable to catch him despite that fact. Danny Sullivans Takus, at 13 to 20, raced to expectations in the second event, another dash for sprinters, valued at ,000. The Serapis seven-year-old took command at the start and was only galloping at the finish to be three lengths in front of Armstrong. Fair Scout was third, a neck off the runner-up and a similar distance in advance of Discount. Ray Hightshoe rode the winner, which finished out in 1:12. SPLENDID EFFORT. Armstrong showed a splendid effort in his race and will probably earn a purse for the . Andolino interests before long. Donna Lopez, a chestnut daughter of Don Leon, which Mrs. F. Rossiter recently acquired from R. W. Collins, galloped out in front of her field all the way in the six Continued on twenty-sixth page. GAY BALKOJRIUMPHS Continued from first page. furlongs third for two-year-old maidens. Sunabell saved the place for J. F. Marsten, two and a half lengths back of the winner. Cantamore was another length and a half back in third place. The three placed horses dominated the running throughout. Donna Lopez went right to the lead, with Cantamore close in pursuit. Sunabell moved up at the end of the first three furlongs to dispose of Cantamore in second position. They raced that way for the balance of the trip, with the winner never in danger. Sunabell was as much the best of the others as Donna Lopez was his superior. The winner was timed in 1:12, a handy effort for a plater valued at ,500. Earl Maloney completed a triple as he whipped Mrs. J. Walkers Major B. home, a neck in advance of the fast-charging Grisette, from Ben Listers stable, in the three-quarters fourth event. G. R Watkins, Greedan, which also came fast in the stretch, was third, a length off the runner-up and a length in advance of Little Rhody. The time was 1:12. WELL JUDGED REDE. Ching-Ling outbroke the winner, but was rapidly headed. Major B. took the lead in the first quarter-mile, gained around the turn and was good enough to stave off a last-minute challenge from Grisette and Major B. Maloney put up a well-judged ride to land the victor home and finished very stoutly. The sixth race, another at six furlongs, resulted in an upset when all the well-backed factors, Frozen Mask, Spring Moon, and Sweeping Flame failed to get any part of the purse. A. G. Silbermans Panorascope, a three-year-old gelding by Carlaris, finished out in 1:12 to have a two lengths advantage over Crowning Glory, which saved the place by the scantest of margins over Remarkable.
