PAIRBYPAIR TRIUMPHS Hertz Colts Victory One of Several Surprises at Hawthorne. Kibitzer Defeats Indian Runner and Pays Big Odds: Pigeon Holes Winning Streak Continues. - CICERO, 111., Aug. 30. Pairbypair, the fleet three-year-old son of Noah and Frizeur, which has proven a consistent winner under the yellow and black silks of Mrs. John D. Hertz, Chicago thoroughbred admirer, captured the winners laurels in the Garden City Handicap, the principal race of an afternoon of eventful sport at Hawthorne today. The Garden City, testing only five, andt the three-quarters distance, had its more popular participants in Brown Wisdom and Siskin, but the running resulted in a complete rout of the two choices, when the Superior Stables Supreme Sweet was good enough to finish second and A. Bartelsteins Polydorus took down. the minor honors. . The triumph of Pairbypair completed a double for trainer Willie Knapp and jockey Earl Steffen, who previously registered a stable score with Aladdins Dream, owned by .Morris Vehon, also of Chicago. From a fast start Pairbypair at all times proved the swiftest in the small field and, after Supreme Sweet had made it interesting for the Hertz colt for a half mile, he came away steadily thereafter, winning by ithree lengths as Supreme Sweet was outstaying Pplydorus by a length and one-half. : The tracks just a degree or so away from firm and fast, probably militated against the chances of both Brown Wisdom and Siskin as both failed to flash their best dash on the slightly cuppy, but good racing strip. Both were well in the wake of the winner and Supreme Sweet at all stages and Polydorus outstayed them by a good margin. DISQUALIFICATION IN SECOND. " Continued hot weather probably kept more enthusiasts away, but those who braved the almost unbearable heat comprised a surprisingly large crowd. A disqualification, the second of the Hawthorne season, came with the running of the second of the eight races. - Morris Vehons Aladdins Dream proved best of the big field of cheaper two-year-olds that raced three-quarters in the first event. He was returned a handy winner, with Voltina second and Indian Mist next home among the twelve under colors. The victor was strongly backed and his triumph was among the more popular of the day. Earl Steffen brought the winner up gradually after reaching the final quarter-mile and, after wearing down Indian Mist and Voltina, he pulled away until his final advantage was a length and one-half. Indian Mist weakened badly after showing the way to the closing eighth, where Voltina, which had followed her closest to the early leader from the outset, was first to head her. Unfair riding by apprentice W. Chidgey, while piloting E. McCuans Sobieha in the second race, resulted in the disqualification of that filly after she had outstayed Blackstrap, which was racing in improved form, by a neck in the second race. Blackstrap, ridden by T. Salazar, was forced wide by .Sobieha all during the closing quarter and this permitted Sobieha to retain the lead to the finish. Shaker Lady and Suniday were third and fourth, respectively, in the original order of finish, but the just and fair action iof the stewards advanced them to second and third. CfflDGEY SUSPENDED. There was only a brief exhibit of the numbers denoting the original placings and announcement of the stewards action set off .mingled cheers and mild boos. Chidgey was suspended for ten days. It was the second disqualification of the meeting. Pigeon Hole extended his string of successive winning performances when he accounted for the third race, in which six opposed him, at a mile and one-sixteenth. :It marked the aged winners sixth successive victory in consecutive starts and fifth in as .many appearances under colors during the meeting. When called upon by L. Jones rter reaching the closing three-eighths, Pigeon Hole soon demonstrated his superiority and came on to the wire an easy winner and by three lengths over Culloden, Old Depot, which got away poorly, filling third position. Culloden came with a rush in the stretch, rwith While Old Depot, giving a fine account of Continued on twenty-first page.

After reaching the stretch turn within a short distance of the then leading Jack Collins, which later quit, William T. flattened out badly. He ruled favorite, with Old Depot the second choice. Overconfidence, if not carelessness, on the part of jockey C. E. Allen, resulted in the defeat of D. A. Woods Indian Runner in the three-quarters Prospect Purse,, for three-year-olds and older, and engaging but seven. After permitting Indian Runner to draw into a long lead in the stretch, Allen tightened his hold on the three-year-old in the last sixteenth, and A. Bartelsteins Kibitzer, closing with a rush, got up to hold Indian Runner before Allen realized his costly blunder. Indian Runner went to the post one of the shortest priced favorites of the meeting, and many of those who backed him jeered Allen long and loud following the race. The stewards suspended Allen for the remainder of the meeting. Kibitzer charged from a long way back in the stretch and was favored by light weight. Third honors fell to Karl Eitel, while Flag Bearer, which alternated with Don Leon in the early pacemaking, brought up fourth position. The race was attended by an accident in which M. Clancy was unseated from The Point at the stretch turn and at a time when The Point was in close attendance of the leaders. Clancy was unhurt. Roy Carruthers, managing director of Arlington Park, was out for another afternoon of Hawthorne sport. Judge Charles F. Price was a visitor at Hawthorne today. He witnessed several races from the stewards stand.
