TWO SLIPPER TRIUMPHS « Waggoner Filly Makes It Two Straight at Louisville. « Outstays Miss Careful by Narrow Margin in Churchill Feature — Ambrose Pilots Winner. » LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 5.— Two Slipper, the trim juvenile daughter of Pharlaros and Polly Keys, owned and bred by W. T. Waggoner and Sons, Texas turfmen, scored her second triumph in as many starts when in the third nose finish of the day she outstayed C. D. Ponamskys Miss Careful, with C. V. Whitneys Cynara just a head back in the Morning Purse, principal race on the program here today. It was a great contest between the three highly regarded young fillies and, while the winner had all the better of the racing luck, she had to race well under an alert and strong ride by Eddie Ambrose to get away with the victory, one of the most popular of the sunny afternoon. After getting away fast from an inner position, the winner succeeded in keeping in such close attendance on Miss Careful that she retained the rail position, and the ground saved was a big factor in her success. It was not until a quarter of the four and one-half furlongs had been covered that the winner headed Miss Careful, with Cynara running along in third place. In the long stretch run, the Texas filly stuck to her task a bit too well for Miss Careful, while Cynara, after swerving badly when entering the last three-sixteenths, finished well when she did settle down to running after Elston swung her to the outside of the leaders in the final eighth. Bright Emblem, Whirling and Black Nose, which completed the field, always were close in the wake of the three leaders. The winner, in receipt of three pounds from Miss Careful, which carried 116 pounds, ran the distance in :54%. BIG ATTENDANCE. The pleasant weather, along with many additions to the gathering throng of Derby visitors, resulted in another big attendance. C. C. Van Meters Chatwink and Helen Bab, racing for L. C. Young, fought it out to a spectacular finish in the opening race over four and one-half furlongs for maiden juveniles, the former having the winning margin. Fountain, third choice to the winner, and Catwalk, finished third. The latter Greentree Stable colt encountered bad breaks when, after getting away in a tangle, he was sharply impeded when racing well on the stretch turn. Herb Fisher rated the winner in front from the start, but after Through Omond, which forced most of the pace, dropped back in defeat, Helen Bab came up with a rush and the Van Meter colt barely managed to outstay her. The second race also resulted in a nose finish when the Oakland Farms Jessie Carey bested Panshala at the end of the three-quarters test that engaged a field of ten fillies and mares. Catherine Fox, favorite, was third, after encountering interference shortly after the start. HOLDS ON GAMELY. Speeding past Fireflash and Jane Packard in the stretch run, Jessie Carey, under the guidance of R. Cheatham, held on gamely when Panshala came with her belated rush in the final drive. The misfortune suffered shortly after the start was too much for Catherine Fox, and, although gradually wearing down the leaders, she was unable to overhaul them before reaching the finish. The leading trio was in close order at the end, with Catherine Fox a neck back of Panshala. Running the mile out of the chute in the fast time of 1:37%, Hoops, favorite, carried the colors of Knebelkamp and Morris to victory in the third race of the day. The victor ran away from his rivals with a rush in the stretch, winning by five lengths over Dis Dat, which took second by two lengths from Dyak, second choice.

Reserved off the fast early pace, the winner came through boldly when called upon and, rushing to the front on the inside shortly after reaching the stretch, romped away with the victory as Dis Dat held second safe. Bonnie Maureen, which cut out a swift early pace, tired from the effort after going three-quarters and her swerving in the stretch opened a path for the winner along the rail. Blot, ridden by G. Elston In the C. V. Whitney colors, easily accounted for the major part of the purse in the fifth race, or Crestwood Claiming Purse. Sunfire, slight favorite over the winner, finished second, two lengths back and with as much of a margin over Brass Monkey, which readily gave way to the winner and favorite after setting most of the pace for seven furlongs.
