Y., April 14.— Bull Dandy carried Mrs. Donald H. Peters colors to a popular victory in the first division M of the featured Amberjack Purse here to-. - day, then Railroad Stables Uncle Ace sur-« - prised the majority of the crowd of 24,912 by drawing out in the stretch to take the e second half of the split headliner. Bull j _ Dandy scored by a length and a quarter over Marise Farms Frisky Fire, with Wheatley Stables Irish Tar two lengths farther back, and paid .20 as a solid j choice. Uncle Ace ran down Allen T. Sim-I " mons Sir Drake to win the second half by two lengths and pay 8.50. Wheatley Sta-. bles Free Lance, who was slightly favored over Sir Drake, finished third, a length behind the runner-up. The afternoon was clear and balmy in the o sun, but there was still a note of rawness in the air and topcoats were in order. For the first time at this meeting favorites failed in the first two races as Boiling On and Home Run won the Daily Double events, paying 2.90 and 9.20. respectively, for a Daily Double of 41.80. The first foul claim of the meeting also occurred this afternoon as Pre Flight was disqualified from second place for racking up the field at the far turn in the opener. The first division of the Amberjack might be called a lucky victory for Bull Dandy, as Frisky Fire bore out on the stretch turn, and Jimmy Lynch, who had Continued on Page Two Bull Dandy and Uncle Ace Victorious In Jamaicas Divided Amberjack Purse Former Whips Frisky Fire 4 * For Second Win of Meet — Latter Defeats Sir Drake Continued from Page One been about to challenge on the outside, took advantage of this lapse and cut the | ; corner, saving considerable ground. It is 5 possible that he might have won in any case, for Bull Dandy finished with plenty T of power, but there "s no doubt that the son of Bull Lea saved as much ground at the head of the stretch as his final margin at t the wire.

Rounding the long curve to the stretch, Frisky Fire increased his lead to a length i and a half as Bull Dandy moved past Irish i Tar and Dustman moved into fourth place. Bobby Strange went to the whip on Frisky Fire as Bull Dandy challenged and the * Tufano colt responded by starting to drift t away from the rail. Irish Tar was running 5 courageously in third place as they moved i into the stretch, but was unable to gain on the leaders and only saved the place by a i head from Dock Stables War Dressing, , who finished very fast down the middle of f the track. Brie a Bac also passed the e tiring Dustman, Salvo was seventh and i Harpsichord, who was first to show, was s last to finish. He went out dripping wet. The time was 1:13%, a full second slower than the time in which Bull Dandy beat t a supposedly lesser field on opening day y here. He paid .20.

Free Lance, who is a big, long-striding colt,_was fifth leaving the gate, improved his position slowly under strenuous urging, but could not seriously menace the two leaders. J. Kozans Kopar finished well to take fourth place, a half length back of Free Lance.
