Tacaro Milkman Is Up for Neck Score Responds to Sniders Stout Urging to Wear Down Mir ad In Havre Sprint Offering HAVRE DE GRACE, Md., May 23. Receiving the saddle services of the meetings leading rider, Albert Snider, Taylor Leath-erburys Tacaro Milkman responded to stout urging to wear down the early leader and triumph by a neck in the six-furlong Carsins Run Purse, fifth and best event on this afternoons off-day program at this track on the Susquehanna. Stepping over the "good" track in the highly creditable time of 1:12, Tacaro Milkman prevailed by a neck over Kenneth OConnors Mirad, with Mrs. H. K. Hickeys Ocean Front third in the field of nine Maryland-foaled three-year-olds. Tacaro Milkman, a .00 favorite, was the third choice to score for the form players in the crowd of approximately 8,500 fans. Steadied Behind Pace Alertly handled leaving the barrier, Tacaro Milkman was steadied behind the swift pace cut out by Mirad, with Snider apparently content to wait for the pacemaker to come back to him. That was not the case, however, and Tacaro Milkman had to exhibit his best speed to wear down the tiring Mirad. Ocean Front closed fastest of all along the inside but could not overcome thedeficit of about three lengths from the head of the lane to the wire. Of the others, only William J. Meyers Tom Ferris and Miss Margie Fishers Pous-sette showed anything resembling a threat. The latter displayed her usual early speed but finished a badly beaten last. Tom Ferris, winner of three straight coming into this race, loomed a serious contender entering the stretch but failed to make up ground in the concluding stages. Apprentice Donald Boston, the current riding sensation of the local meeting, registered another double on todays program, scoring with Mrs. Van Lear Blacks Gay Wildy in the third race, and coming back in the sixth event to be first home with J. W. Y. Martins Hush-Hush. Gay Wildy was a solid choice, paying .00, while Hush-Hush paid 1.00 while slightly overlooked with the ,000 to ,000 claimers which participated in the six-furlong sixth.
