All Tilly Successful In Old Glory Purse Holds Tiger Bee Safe in Drive To Wire in Fairmount Feature By J. J. HAHN Staff Correspondent FAIRMOUNT PARK, Collinsville, 111., June 15. — Despite her picking up four more pounds than her assigned 109 pounds, All Tilly, a veteran mare who races in the silks of Mr. and Mrs. G. B. Holman, won the six furlongs featured Old Glory Purse here Tuesday night, scoring her second victory at the meeting. "The daughter of Holdall, ridden by Billy Gummow when her regular rider Bruce Brinkley failed to do the weight, drew away in the stretch to hold safe H. H. Rendlemans Tiger Bee, the only tln-ee-year-old in the dash, O. H. Pohlmans Mighty Epic and four others. A crowd of 5,807 fans, one of the largest Tuesday night turnouts .off the meeting, in stalled the Holman representative a slight favorite over Mighty Epic. Spudder, making his seasonal debut here, took the track from the field shortly after the start and opened a length lead over the public choice and increased this margin to two lengths as they reached the last quarter of a mile with the Holman color-bearer forcing the pace and Duntreath Miss and Nile Prince alternating in third and fourth positions. • As they reached midway the stretch and with Spudder still in front, Gummow hit his mount once and the Holdall mare, responding gamely to the urging, drew alongside the early leader an eighth from the finish. In the run through the last furlong, All Tilly drew away from her opposition and at the end was two lengths before Tiger Bee. Mighty Epic made a game try near the end but was not good enough and was a half length behind the three-year-old and only a head before the fast-closing Dr. Rees. The latter was a length in advance of the faltering Spudder. Nile Prince and Duntreath Miss were the only other starters and finished -in that order. - « * • ■ « . "
