TANNERY WINS AGAIN • Prichard Star Repeats His Washington Handicap Performance. « Mike Hall Second and Lady Gibson Third — Tellico Disqualified for Riders Foul in Third. HOMEWOOD, 111., June 3.— E. F. Prich-ards Tannery, winner of the Washington Park Handicap on opening day, ran back to his race in that stake, when he won the Kensington Handicap, the feature of an ; excellent program at the Homewood course this afternoon. Backed into almost even money favoritism, he fully justified the confidence placed in him by leading all the way to win by three lengths from the Agua Caliente Handicap winner, Mike Hall, while , Lady Gibson, a maiden, finished in third place and Royal Julian was fourth. Up, the only other starter, was far back at the end. Tannery was much the best and was ridden with extreme confidence by jockey R. Heigle. Sprinting into the lead in the first [ fifty yards, he was taken under slight restraint after opening up a handy early lead, and was never threatened thereafter, winning easily. Mike Hall gave his backers a ray of hope when he moved up fast ap- proaching the far turn, but he lacked the necessary speed to carry him to the winner. Lady Gibson showed a splendid effort, while the remainder of the field were never dangerous. Tannery ran the mile in 1:38%, • and finished the mile and seventy yards distance in 1:43. A splendid week-day crowd witnessed the racing this afternoon, and the program provided deserved the support, as it was a well balanced one. The weather was very warm today, and the skies were overcast during part of the afternoon, but rain did not threaten i BAND TIME REWARDS. The handicapping calculations of the majority proved correct in the opening race when Band Time, a Dixiana colt, was an easy winner. The youngster was backed [ to the exclusion of the others and, dashing to the front from an outer post position, shook off Master McGee in the stretch and showed the way to the end. Master McGee, ] which raced poorly last time out, showed a greatly improved performance to be second at long odds and Ballyhoo was third. Fox Chase, considered a possibility, was oft slowly and tired after making up much ground. Band Time, a candidate for the Thomas Curran Memorial Handicap, was ridden by jockey W. Fronk. The E. R. Bradley-ov/ned Broad Meadows and jockey Eugene James proved a winning . combination in the second race. Ten good , sprinters met at six furlongs, and the win- , ner, rushing into contention on the outside in the first quarter, wore down Ellice, the . pacemaker, in the final run, and won by one length. Ellice showed the most early speed, ■ and, bearing over slightly around the first two bends, interfered with several contenders. Willa was favored, but could do no better than third. Ellice was backed from long odds to second favoritism at post time. A pretty struggle came with the running of the third race when three horses, after a bitter stretch battle, finished noses apart, and after an exciting five minutes during which the jockeys were questioned, Tellico, which finished first, was disqualified, giving Marcasite first money. Prince Hotspur :,ec-ond place and Deenie the third award. The setting back of Tellico, which was the odds-on favorite, came about as the result ot the unfair tactics resorted to by jockey Willie Garner in the stretch. Tellico had set the early pace, and when it seemed that Marcasite was about to pass him in the stretch. Garner made use of his right hand to detain his rival. Jockey C. E. Allen lodged a claim of foul after the race, and the numbers were , changed, much to the chagrin of the ma- i jority who had wagered heavily on Tellico. Prince Hotspur raced well under hard rid- j Continued on twenty-first page. ! TANNERY WINS AGAIN Continued from first page. ing by jockey James, and was close up at the finish. One of the scheduled starters, Judge Primrose, which was being vanned from Lincoln Fields, was late in arriving and after considerable wagers had been placed on him was ordered scratched. The money was refunded. W. S. Dudleys good sprinter Ray Btetiea ran one of the fastest six furlongs of the meeting to win the fourth race. The race was named the South Shore Purse and the conditions attracted nine starters. Prince DAmour set the pace, running a fast three-eighths, with Chimney Sweep in close attendance. The Whitney colt took a short lead when Prince DAmour tired, but Ray Blades came fast on the outside to take command and win handily. Chimney Sweep finished second and Best Man was third. Jockey W. Garner was ordered off Stock Market in this race and Carl Meyer substituted. The winners time for the distance was 1:12% and he paid 5.86. Dark Sea was the third favorite of the afternoon to win. He scored with ease in the sixth race, while Outburst finished second and Dark Entry was third. Dark Entry set the pace, but jockey Allen had Dark Sea under restraint and moving into the lead at will, was easing up slightly at the finish. Outburst finished fast to take second place. Everytime, Sunny Morn, Eva and Ronald Grey were unloaded at Lincoln Fields by P. T. Catalano, who raced the quartet at Bainbridge Park. Apprentice R. "Hard Rock" Allen is with the Catalano Stable. Jockey J. Guerra was an arrival from York and reported to the H. T. Archibald Stable. Mrs. P. M. Kebort, secretary to W. T. Waggoner, owner of the Three Ds Stock Farm and Stable, is a visitor. Roscoe Goose was not satisfied with the condition of Miss Mamie after she worked out this morning and may send her and Valdosta to Kentucky to be turned out. The latter was thrown out of training last week. .«.__
