Apprentice Vincent Polk Rides Juvenile Colt to Victory After Having Previously Scored Astride Glenbroom. BOSTON, Mass., May 23.— Coming from behind, although never far out of the pace, that greatly improved colt, Liberty Lane Stables Cardell, brown colt by Dr. Cardenas — Judelle, charged through the mud of the Suffolk Downs strip and won the Cambridge Purse, nominal feature and fifth race of the dark day program. After his first two races, Cardell has shown constant improvement, won his next three and in his preceding start before coming to New England, had run a scant half length behind Imprudent. Today Cardell was in a good position throughout, saved ground on the inside and defeated W. C. Stroubes Exarch by about a length, with Mrs. Floyd Wests Bright View just missing the place. Flying Horse Farms Malayan was fourth while the favorite, H. P. Metcalfs Sally Pass By, not only met with her first defeat in three starts, but was an outclassed fifth in this field of six. In winning with Cardell, apprentice Vincent Polk scored his second straight win, for in the previous race, he had staged a stretch challenge with the favorite, Glenbroom. That time, however, the camera had to declare the winner, but there was little doubt about Cardells victory at 4 to 1 odds. EXARCH PACEMAKER. Cardell was ever in a good position in this five furlongs affair. Exarch broke on top arid never really relinquished that lead until the final seventy yards. The Stroube colt kept hustling along. In the meantime Bright View was hustled up there, along with Malayan and Cardell, while Sally Pass By was not really in the contention, running into all kinds of difficulties. Thus it looked as if Exarch and Bright View would be the ones to decide the winner, but Exarch began to tire. Polk, however, was working right along with Cardell, on the inside, outlasted the others, and drew clear in the final seventy yards. Then Exarch made it life and death to protect the place from Bright View, surprise winner the other day. Polk made it a triple for himself when he brought home Lady Roma, owned by H. G. Bedwell, his contract employer, in the sev-; enth race. Lady Roma, favorite in the seven-horse field, was easily the best of the mud-running bunch, and won by herself, with Mrs. Danny Sheas Daytonian second and Weston W. Adams Ozark third. The early pace here was set by Saving Grace, an outsider, with Wulfstan right close. The Runner, one of the choices in the race, was shut off on the first turn and thereafter tired badly. In the mean-f time, Lady Roma was running easily, with Quo Warranto also making a move in the back stretch. With half a mile to go, Lady Roma just slid through the mud, passed the two leaders and was clear when she turned into the home stretch. "DAILY DOUBLE" PAYS 0.20. Hanna Bros. Wakita, an 8 to 1 shot, was ridden to a four lengths triumph in the second race to complete the "Daily Double" and pay 0.20 for a combination with the entry in the first race. Second here was W. H. Taveners Post Office, which came up from a trailing position to pass the favorite, Jack Whytes Proud King. The latter, off in close quarters in this mud contest, took command at the half mile post with Wakita moving up to second place and Post Office starting to challenge. At the quarter post Wakita was, in front as Proud King began to tire and ; I she drew away. Backed down to 7 to 10 odds and running like a 1 to 10 shot, Fanfare Farms Tobacco, a mud-loving mare, just cantered home in the third race, winning by an eased up four lengths margin. It was her second victory at Suffolk and the six-year-old Blondin mare took the lead at the start and never was headed in this race at a mile and one-six- » teenth.
