Pelage Outruns Quizzed In Apple Blossom Purse Gives Jockey Donald Tobin His Seventh Win of Ascot Park Meet By W. A. CRUSE ASCOT PARK, Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, May 7.— The 4,272 fans on hand for todays program had some difficulty in getting a favorite to stand up in the most cases • In the featured affair, the Apple Blossom Purse, the Audley Farms Pelage, who is conditioned by C. Lee, turned back a group of seven other opponents. The good-looking Rico Monte filly negotiated the six and one-half furlongs while taking the overland route to be in the best going, in 1:29%, and was a length nd one-half the best of Mrs. G. L. McNeils Quizzed. Jockey Donald Tobin had the honors of riding the winner and this score gave him seven winners for the first 27 days of the meeting. It is difficult to forecast the weather at this time of the year, and it appeared it would be cloudy all day. However, as the day progressed, the skies cleared, the sun came out brightly and it warmed up considerably. The prediction is for clear and cooler weather for tomorrow, but lately the past performances of the weatherman havent been too good.

As a result of the two i victories, the Daily Double as a 6-to-7 sequence was worth 1.20 — as the two second choices took down the laurels. The card for tomorrow is ginve over to the platers exclusively. With the steady j inclement weather for the week end, the racing strip is again set back considerably, and the forecast from the weatherman would indicate that it will be heavy again for the twenty-eighth days card. I Sophomores hold the spotlight in the * best of a rather dull group of eight races. Again racing secretary Charles F. Henry has come up with a title of a spring flower and this time it is the Bluebells. The staging for the ,500 to ,750 claimers is six and one-half furlongs and the seven drawn on the overnight will be vying for a portion of a ,500 purse. Comprising the group are the Dorchester Corporations Why Allie, J. II. Kings linden, the White Star Farms Tuff Chic, Mrs. T. F. Davis The Weaver, Mr. and Mrs. P. Maxwells Eternal Boy, Win. G. Myers Polyrjuest and J,. Ioyds Bright Stone. Folyqwejit was inatalled an even monej j favorite in the fourth affair last Saturday. Under Jockey D. Tobins urging, the Alquest gelding took the top for a half mile while staying in the better part of the track, but ■when taken in some to save ground, stopped badly. If by some freak, the track would again have a reasonably good path in it, this fleet-footed campaigner could be expected to take the top and very possibly not stop. Bud Buden is another with early foot. Jockey H. Stauffer sent him away on top in an about four and one-half furlonas j dnsh the last time. The strip was heavy for that affair and the Pinebloom offspring was on top to a few yards away from the furlong marker, but ultimately wound up third, beaten four lengths by O. and R. Pollocks Puqul and K. M. Ryans; J. V. Bound. This different distance may help some, and u different sort of vaclnt strip would appear to enhance hi* elutnces considerably.
