LETELLIER HORSE TRIUMPHS Green Wave Takes Measure of Dick Morris in Bainbridge Parks Feature Attraction. CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 2.— A. B. Letel-liers Green Wave captured the Aurora Country Club Purse, the fifth race, which attracted the best field at Bainbridge Park this afternoon. The Tryster colt raced closely lapped upon Dick Morris, the leader, to the stretch, then took command and drew away into an easy lead in the final eighth. Zean began to move up on the outside while on the far turn and, continuing gamely during the run home, eventually outlasted the tiring Dick Morris for second. The Knebelkamp and Morris colorbearer was installed a top-heavy choice and flattered his supporters by leading to the stretch, but tired when called upon for the final drive. Dry Nation was close up for half the distance, then tired badly. The racing was staged over a heavy track, due to rain. The weather was hot and sultry during much of the day and more rain threatened near the end of the afternoon. The attendance was of average proportions.
