I., N. Y., May 2.— Joseph M. Roeblings Blue Case won the forty-first renewal of the Rosedale Stakes this afternoon, just getting up to snatch necks advantage over Hal Price Headleys front-running Papoose, while Jack Schif-fers Cigar Maid, finishing much the fastest of all and the victim of hard luck during the running, was a head farther back in third place. This trio was bunched at the wire, and three and a half lengths to the good of Tina Lazar.

Blue Case Nips Papoose To Win Rosedale by Neck Cigar Maid Fast-Closing Third After Being Crowded at Jamaica Continued from Page One of the 11 fillies engaged racing greenly, even though all of these misses had been seen in public at least once. Blue Case, the eventual winner, was not exempt from this criticism, the gray Case Ace filly ducking sharply toward the rail above the furlong pole. Jockey Warren Mehrtens righted her, however, without losing too much ground, and without interfering with her rivals. Once straightened away, Blue Case set sail in dead ernest for Papoose, who was short -5 ening stride, but it was lucky the wire was there, because Cigar Maid was gain- ing with every jump, and would certainly have taken it all in a few more yards. This renewal of one of Long Islands old-. est fixtures netted the homebred Roebling filly 0,400. It was her first success three trips to the post, both of her previous starts having been at the current meeting. The daughter of Case Ace — Blue Fairy, Gino, ran the five furlongs in an indiffer-1 ent 1:005 over a fast strip. Fancy Bonnet, Papoose. Blue Case and Blessusgals were the early leaders in the Rosedale, with Papoose detaching herself from the pack and drawing off to a slight lead. Back of the Headley filly there was lot of crowding, with Blessusgals one of the victims, while Cigar Maid was pinched back when she tried to reach contention between horses. Papoose held her advantage between the turns and entering the stretch, but the brown Menow filly was tiring under Basil James, and, once Blue Case had aim her, could offer little resistance. Blue Case was doubly fortunate in escaping the crowding on the backstretch and in over-t coming her own tendency to duck to the rail. As for Cigar Maid, this one was forced to take "the overland after her early dif-!. ficulties. She made up about five lengths in the stretch run, but her initial handicap was too great to overcome. Warm sunny weather together with the promise of a good card brought 21,838 fans out for the afternoons sport. Their luck varied between very bad and very good, one odds-on favorite — Mop Up — finishing out of the money, and an even money choice. Dark Favorite, scoring an easy vic-g tory in the Flambette Purse. The Daily Double, paying 3.20, was won by the combination of Alfred Vanderbilts Sleepy Hollow in the curtain-raiser and Sailors Delite in the second. Dark Favorite, narrowly beaten in the recent Correction Handicap, made amends today in the six-furlong Flambette. William Ewings Eight Thirty mare allowed Leading Home, making his first start the season, to set the early pace, while she lay well back until the head of the stretch, Once Atkinson gave Dark Favorite her head, it was all over, the mare polishing off her opposition in fine style. Miss De-. gree was second, and Our Patrice, who had been right with the pace all the way, was a good third. Dark Favorites time for the three-quarters was only 1:12%, but then, that is all she had to show to win. 0 y, n ie is ig ig i, s. il t- •e l- [y ig in n J by J . ■ a . ~ „ on e r_ ,d f_ * * ■t Lg ;y [y ie »y n te Is 1- d of f ;r ig :- d is ie i.
