INDOMITABLE AT HOME ON DEEP BOWIE TRACK PETERS PILOTC WINNER Another Feature of Maryland Session Won by New Yorker. Lustig Campaigner Second Favorite to Make Good Gyral Accounts for Fourth Race. BOWIE, Md., Nov. 17 Indomitable, capable sprinting plater in the Longchamps Farm establishment of Henry Lustig, demonstrated he had lost none of his liking for the deep Bowie track by driving to a head victory in the six furlongs race which featured the second day of sport at Prince Georges Park. The son of Man o War and Violet Mahoney responded with his usual courage to a drive of whip, hand and heel through the final quarter mile to overhaul the pacemaking Fogoso in the final yards. Three lengths away Mr. Grundy had no difficulty saving third from Endymion. This was the second feature of the autumn session to be taken by jockey "Moose" Peters, as he was astride Honey Cloud in that geldings Burch Memorial triumph. The New Yorker turned in a good race to complete the distance in 1:13, ruling a slight choice in the mutuels at .35 to and being the second of the afternoon to register. Winners were about as difficult to locate as on the opening day, with favorites being beaten in the majority of races. FOLLOWS PACEMAKER. The main event saw Indomitable breaking swiftly to be the closest attendant of the pacemaking Fogoso in the back stretch run. As Mr. Grundy moved up on the outside on the far turn, Peters was forced to bear down with his whip to keep clear of trouble. He urged the Man o War gelding sharply to move after the leader turning for home and once in the home stretch it was necessary to drive with all the power he could command to nail the pacemaker on the post. Fogoso left the post swiftly to draw into the clear in the first furlong. He was not troubled seriously until well in the home stretch and then, when called on by the whip, he failed to show the courage of his older rival, hanging right on the money. Mr. Grundy moved up in menacing fashion on the turn and then tailed off in the stretch. Endymion came from far back to be a creditable fourth, while Idle Way failed to run as expected. It was a very poor effort. Black Arrow had speed for half a mile and then was done. Sachem showed nothing. WINNING COMBINATION. Jest Once and apprentice Dupps were the winning combination in the initial five and a half furlongs for filly non-winners. The breaks were perfect for the daughter of On Watch and Queen of Jest, this enabling her to come from behind the pace and be up in the final yards to score by a neck. The less fortunate Counora took the place by a nose from the tiring Dinamita. The winner finished out in the indifferent time of 1:09. Max Hirschs colorbearcr was second choice in the machines at .10 to . Nick Wall and apprentice Militello were considerably shaken up in the opener when Puzzle Dance went down at the far turn and Cleo C. toppled over her.

INDOMITABLE AT HOME ON DEEP BOWIE TRACK Continued from first page. to suffer defeat, Mrs. J. A. Coburns representative being unplaced in the mile and a sixteenth claimer for three-year-olds, which was second on the card. This race went to H. P. Metcalfs Principessa, which paid a trifle less than 9 to 1 in the mutuels. That I filly closed with good courage to outgame Setemup and gain a nose decision. Two lengths away Two Aces took third money from the tiring Bosonia by a daylight margin. A fair lot of plater juveniles appeared in the six furlongs claimer, which was third on the program with Naseberry, just purchased from. Walter M. Jeffords by Tony Pelleteri, driving to a neck victory over Romaunt, one the New Orleans horseman lost by the halter route in his previous Pimlico start. A length and a half back of the runner-up Chalmac "nosed Orcades out of third money. There was another fall in this race, Many Flags stumbling at the middle of the turn, just as he was moving into contention and tossing Peters from the saddle. The boy bounced to his feet quickly,. apparently none the worse for the mishap. There was smart support for the winner, sending the Chicle-Fleur gelding to the post a .25 to chance. Naseberry was outpaced during" the back stretch run, but came through rapidly on the inside, making the turn, and then circled Romaunt in the stretch. He joined that gelding about a furlong from the finish, and in the duel which followed, proved the gamer of the pair. Romaunt had the speed to escape early trouble and drew into a clear lead in the first furlong to hold sway until overhauled by Naseberry. Chalmac was shy on early speed, but finished fast to be third. Orcades also closed well. Scout About and Ghostflyer never were factors. Gyral, a plater which couldnt run a lick in his last two starts at Pimlico, displayed sharp improvement in the mile and a sixteenth of the fourth to come from far off the pace and win going away by a pair of lengths. The score was the second of the afternoon for Charlie Stevenson, as he had taken the preceding dash with Naseberry. Closest to Gyral at the end was Prowl, which just managed to snatch the place from the tiring Gaurisankar. The winner was not much of a price in view of recent dull form, showing only .25 to . In the early stages Gyral was a distant trailer and he did not loom as a contender until the home stretch was reached. Then Stevenson sent him up rapidly on the outside and the T. D. Buhl representative loosed a spurt somewhat similar to that exhibited by his stablemate, Old Jake, yesterday. This brought the son of Judge Hay on in the final sixteenth to win going away.
