Name Small Fields || For Pimlico Stakes L Sun Again. Four Freedoms In Southern Maryland as Sprinters Go in Harford BALTIMORE. Md., April 21.— The Har- ! ford and Southern Maryland handicaps, respectively, for ,500 each, provide the opportunity for six performers in the former i six-furlong fixture and five in the milej and one-sixteenth Southern Maryland to entertain those turf enthusiasts expected to j gather tomorrow at Pimlico. The Southern Maryland possibly usurps i a certain amount of contention from its twin feature, due to bringing together, among others. Calumet Farms Sun Again, imposted at 120 pounds, and Greentree Sta- I bles Four Freedoms, weighted with 116, and, respectively, the runner-up and winner of a renewal of the Widener this past winter. This will be the first meeting between the two since that engagement. Both are in good shape and an interesting duel ■ should ensue. Incidentally, Four Freedoms | | I i receives a slight advantage under scale ; weights at this time of the year. Coupled with Sun Again for the account of Warren Wrights establishment is Mar-Kell. successful here yesterday in conslusive fashion and imposted at 114 pounds f or j . tomorrows tilt. Others in the field are j Arthur J. Sacketts Tola Rose, hero of the Bowie running in fine style and assigned ll5 pounds, and W. P. Wetheralls Lord Calvert, the light weight, with 103 pounds, j Those trying for a score in the Harford | are Charles S. Howards Porters Cap, i scheduled to carry 106 pounds; G. C. Greer j and Sons Cape Cod, 114; Calumet Farms: Pensive, 108; Mrs. Donald Woodwards Pic- j cadilly, 114; Henry L. Straus New Moon,, 110, and H. Guy Bedwells Sollure, 117 j pounds. Pensive, Porters Cap Meet Again The six-furlong distance of this seventh ; event is very much to the liking of the, unpredictable Cape Cod, Sollure and even ii j Porters Cap and Pensive. Porters Cap was beaten a scant nose by the hard-charging I Pensive in the Rowe Memorial. That en-, deavor may have been all the Howard l! ! representative needed to reach top form. . I If so, he should be difficult to handle. On 1 [ i the other hand, Pensive has shown to i advantage, first triumphant and then in i ; defeat. That disappointment resulted in i j the Bowie and at the instance of the aged I I Tola Rose. Sollure already has tasted victory at the meeting and, considering that he is much I j I at home over this strip, he could very well j register his first stake effort of the year. . Last fall he accounted for a division of f the Capital Handicap. Cape Cod is danger- j ous when at his best, but, prophesying as to just when he will be at his best is almost beyond human predictions. However, the six-year-old could turn in a success as simply as a failure, as could j Straus New Moon. This four-year-old has j speed and has been there or thereabouts 5 | in endowed races in the past. With exception of the second race, a i claiming test for four-year-olds and older j at six furlongs that has drawn a limit t | field of 12 and three also eligibles, other j races were in some instances lightly pat- j ronized. What should be an interesting i | contest for the steeplechase -minded is the e | I third. Fashioned for four-year-olds and I | older and at two miles over brush, it brings I I ; together Good Chance, Bank Note, Greek c J Flag, Picket, Refugio and Rouge Dragon. ; As prevails on Saturdays and holidays. ; post time for tomorrows first race is 1 I p. m. Throughout the week the opener is s called for at 12 noon.
