Pep Well, Whirl Some Win in Calumet Silks Former Registers in Jennings For Second Stake Score in Row PIMLICO, Baltimore, Md., May 2. — The good Calumet Farm broodmare, Some Pep, had her afternoon at Pimlico today when she sent out a pair of winners in Warren Wrights devils red and blue silks. The four-year-old colt, Pep Well, by Boswell — Some Pep, accounted for the featured six-furlong Jennings Handicap, while the two-year-old Whirl Some, a daughter of Whirl-away, made her racing debut a successful one in winning the four and a half furlongs fourth race. Both winners were ridden by Albert Snider. Pep Wells victory in the Jennings, his second stakes score in as many starts here, was scored in decisive fashion, the colt re-parting a length and one-quarter in ad- • vance of William Helis Rippey. Alfred Van-derbilts Kitchen Police, favored by the crowd of 13,931 fans who braved cool damp weather, was third, three lengths off the winner. Snider had Pep Well away from the barrier alertly, but was content to steady his mount along while Rippey, under Frank Moon, cut out a swift early pace. It was that same pace that spelled doom for H. L. Straus New Moon, for he gave way early, as Pep Well set sail for the leader on the turn. Kitchen Police, too, was commencing a mild rally. Pep Well moved to Rippey approaching the furlong pole and it was shortly thereafter that Snider sent his charge to the lead, with Kitchen Police trying vainly to keep pace. The final test left the fans little to cheer about, as Pep Well assumed the lead and drew clear gradually. Kitchen Police, who had raced Pep Well to a photo verdict in the opening day Baltimore Spring Handicap, could not keep pace today and, in fact, could not even seriously threaten Rippey s grip on the place award.
