ARCARO IN LIMELIGHT Pilots Two Winners at Sportsmans Park Track Heavy. Ben Rosenheims Miss Sparkling Triumphs Over Upon After Hard v Stretch Drive Aurebon Wins. CICERO, 111., Oct. 27. The Jackson Park V Purse, for two-year-olds and a test of six and one-half furlongs, held the stellar position on todays card and this resulted in another victory for Ben Rosenheims Miss Sparkling when she was victorious in a driving finish over the Lone Star Stables Upon, which finished a half length back and a similar distance in front of Dr. Jillson, which finished in third place. This marked the second winner for apprentice E. Arcaro, who took a brace in his work and in this was forced to bring into play the horsemanship that has given him "the lead over the riders here. Alert at the post, Arcaro had the victress away in motion and she raced into a long lead in the early stages and as they swung for home she maintained a decided advantage, but displayed signs of tiring near the end and Upon, which had gained steadily from a rearward position, was charging at her, but Arcaro put the winner under severe punishment and she managed to hold to her task to gain the decision. Dr. Jillson, which had forced the pace for most of the way, found the going too hard in the final stages and gave way for place honors, but not. without stubborn resistance. Wily Girl, which figured prominently in the early stages, gave way suddenly and failed to be a contender after going a half. UNFAVORABLE CONDITIONS. The air had a wintry tinge and heavily-laden clouds hovered overhead. The track was heavy and holding and the most exacting of the. meeting and the slowest time was registered. The brilliant ride of apprentice H. Chinn played an important part in the victory of the well backed Winnie C. in the first race when he drove her to the end a nose in advance of Wild West, which closed with a belated rush, and probably would have gained the verdict if they had a farther distance to travel. Plucicy Girl, which shared favoritism, failed to keep pace and, after going a half, gave way to the winner and subsequently submitted to Wild West. Lady General was expected to provide strong opposition but failed badly after going three-quarters. Take Off, under the colors of M. -J. Whal-en and a powerful ride by Tracey Reno, registered his first win of the meeting when he proved best of the ten that visited the post for the second race. The victory was well earned, due to the fact that "the winner set a good pace and held on with rare courage when he repulsed the game challenge of George K., which finished second. The latter turned in a good performance, having to work his way between horses to reach a forward position, he continued gamely and might have won in a few more strides. Toltec, which came in for stout support, failed to display his usual burst of speed and was outpaced and failed to figure seriously despite severe punishment. CHINN IN LIMELIGHT. Apprentice H. Chinn scored his second victory of the afternoon when he brought The Moon to the end a winner by five lengths. The winner, slightly outrun to the first turn, raced into the lead, when Lady Menifee raced wide, then drew away and easily held his opponents safe to the end. Bounder, which finished second, turned in a good performance under a hustling ride by the veteran J. Majestic. Tufinuf, a factor, moved up fast on the stretch turn but tired when put to the test and just managed to nose out Solus for third. The latter came in resolute fashion after making up ground. Lady Menifee attracted considerable support due to a rumor that she was in tip top condition, but after the opening quarter she tired. Apprentice E. Arcaro, star rider of the meeting, came into his own when he rode his first winner since Monday, scoring on H. Stelles Aurebon in the fourth race, which attracted ten juveniles for a race over five-eighths. The winner dashed to the front at the start and Spero was the only one of his opponents that offered a bid for honors, but the son of Flying Ebony soon disposed of him and, as the race progressed, increased his margin to win by ten lengths. A real contest developed for second when Col. , Continued on twenty-second pageX ARCARO IN LIMELIGHT Continued from first page. Cloister, which came with a rush, got up in the final .stages to get his placing by a neck while Jane Boggess had a half length advantage over Red Fellow foe third. Spero was well backed by the public but, after showing speed for a quarter, tired and failed to be a factor thereafter.
