BALTIMORE, Md., May 8.— Uncovering the brand of speed that carried him to vie- 1 tory in the Rowe Memorial Handicap at ] Bowie and showing improvement over his race in the Baltimore Spring Handicap on ; opening day when he finished third, Rough : Time, from the J. Y. Christmas stable, . chalked up his second triumph in four starts . this season when he accounted for the twelfth running of the ,000 added Jennings s Handicap at Pimlico today. 1 Carrying 120 pounds, two less than he ! handled in his last outing, the shifty five- ! year-old gelding, under jockey Hilton Dab • son, covered the distance in 1:12, the fastest time of the meeting. He led all the way, to ; beat A. C. C. Stables Sun Egret, J. W. Y. Martins Battle Jack and five other sprinters that were led home by E. K. Brysons Bunny ; Baby. The score was worth ,270 and it boosted his earnings to ,195. He reached the finish of the stake winner by a short head. The Jennings Handicap was easily the best race on the program, which opened the second full week of racing at the populai racing grounds of the Maryland Jockey Club. There was a good crowd out for the racing. LONG POST DELAY. In the Jennings there was a delay of six minutes at the gate before the eight sprinters left the stalls. It was only a fair beginning when Bunny Baby and Preeminent got away slowly. Rough Time was away in the first flight and under H. Dabson he was sent out to establish the pace, while Battle Jack, Sun Egret and Jay Jay led the chase. Setting a swift pace, Rough Time moved clear after the first quarter-mile and enjoyed a clear lead rounding the turn. Battle Jack was well before Sun Egret, and Jay Jay was barely before Old Rosebush. With the stretch reached, Rough Time was racing gamely and Sun Egret was coming up resolutely on the inside with a definite challenge. Jockey H. Dabson resorted to the whip in the last eighth to have his mount hold on for the victory. Battle Jack was beaten three lengths for the place as he tired nearing the close and he was but a neck before Bunny Baby, which came from last place. An upset marked the running of the cofeature of the afternoon, titled the Clover-brook Purse, for three-year-olds, when two outsiders, Robiespierre from the W. E. Johnson stable, and J. D. Weils Little Pinkey, were inches apart at the end of six furlongs . in that order to take the measure of Mrs. A. Pelleteris Blazing Heat, the favorite, and five others in the field of eight. CALUMET FARM VICTOR. Calumet Farms two-year-old filly Lisco, ruling a strong choice, started the talent off on the right foot when she won the opening event, fashioned for members of that age. In the four and one-half furlongs sprint Lisco dominated all the running under jockey I. Anderson, to be victorious by three lengths at the close over Hugood. The latter led home Cele Carney by seven lengths. Seven mediocre three-year-olds met in the decision of the second race, which" was the first of the long-distance events on the card. It gave Burner, another well-backed choice, a driving score. Racing for William M. Elder and handled by jockey G. Seabo, the chestnut daughter of Bud Lerner landed over the line in advance of Maewhisk, with Cackle Time capturing third. Racing coupled in the silks of Montpelier, Hop and Slievereigh finished first and second in that order in the two miles of the Linstead Steeplechase, which was the third offering and the daily event through the field. Eight fencers were under colors for the long chase, with Hop leading over all the fifteen fences to register in easy style, while his running companion was just as easily second over Jacamar, which finished in front of Guatemala, Grumpy and Prince Danilo, the only others that finished. Tro-light lost his rider at the fourteenth fence, and Lateral Pass fell at the last jump.
