APPLICATIONS AT ARLINGTON Include Owners of Twenty Grand, Jamestown and Other Noted Stars of the Turf. In addition to the dozen stalls Vincent Powers wants for Mrs. Helen Hay Whitneys steeplechasers destined to take part in the five weeks summer racing at Arlington Park, which will begin June 29 and be marked by a purse distribution of 25,000 to 50,000, James Rowe has wired general manager Roy Carruthers of the North Side course that he will require twenty-two for the Greentree flat runners. Foremost of the flat runners of this powerful establishment of Americas most popular sportswomen is Twenty Grand, which ran the fastest mile ever made by a two-year-old when he won a revival of the Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes last fall in 1:36 flat, beating the redoubtable Equipoise, which he had previously defeated in a renewal of the Junior Champion Stakes at Aqueduct. Twenty Grand celebrated his appearance in three-year-old racing by winning the Wood Memorial at Jamaica, finished second to Mate in the Preakness at Pimlico and won the Kentucky Derby in new record time of 2:011£ for the classic. His main Arlington Park objective will be the third Classic, over one mile and a quarter, for three-year-olds exclusively, which should gross 0,000 in mid-July and pay its winner close to 0,000. Preston M. Burch wants fifteen stalls; Val Crane, thirteen; W. A. Carter, ten; William R. Coe, twenty; James Fitzsimmons, twenty; John Hertz, twenty-two; Andrew Jackson Joyner, ten; William G. Merion, fifteen; Fred E. Kraft, twelve; Louis Tauber, five; Louis de Carlo, three; Dewey Bentham, five, and J. Lowenstein, twenty-two. The most distinguished member of the stable Joyner has in training is Jamestown, champion two-year-old of last year. Jamestown is to make his three-year-old debut presently in a renewal of the Withers Stakes at Belmont Park and after that try his luck in a Belmont. He probably will meet the Preakness, Wood Memorial, American Derby and Kentucky Derby winners in the third Classic. A fleet stable companion of Jamestowns is Jack High, which set a new competitive mark of 1:35 for one mile when he won last springs revival of the Metropolitan Handicap. In Hertz string, which is now at Belmont Park, are Risque, a Lassie and Spinaway Stakes winner of last season, which may prove best of this seasons three-year-old fillies, and Valenciennes, which won the Arlington Matron Inaugural on August 2, last, and a revival at Bowie in November of the Thanksgiving Handicap. Valenciennes is something of a distance runner. »
