Sun Erin Second and Sun Caprice i Third in Detroit Headliner — Track Is Slow. » DETROIT, Mich., July 7.— Try Sympathy was withdrawn from the Motor City Stakes, the feature of the Fair Grounds program this afternoon, after the track became no better than slow, and trainer Jack Whyte believed that Sun Erin, a stablemate, was equal to the task of adding another stake to [ the Fair Fields Stable coffers, but he failed I in his judgment, for winning honors went to George Morris Kentucky-owned First Entry, with Sun Erin second and Nix and Hunters Sun Caprice, a Kilmer castoff, third. ■ St. Moritz carried Mrs. A. J. Abels colors into fourth place with Scrambled Eggs, a 1 stablemate of Sun Caprice, fifth, Adams Eve sixth and Harold H. seventh and last. The stakes, the second race of the meeting over five and one-half furlongs, for two-year-olds, grossed ,030, with owner Morris taking ,320 when the unsexed son of Kai-Sang ■ and Io came to the finish two and one-half lengths before Sun Erin, which beat Sun Caprice four lengths for the second award of 00. Third money was 00, and St. Moritz earned 00 by finishing fourth. • Despite the steady rain that fell late Friday afternoon, Norman Miller and his track crew whipped the course into a slow condition and, under 117 pounds, equal weight carried by St. Moritz and Harold H, the winner ran the distance in IM%. WEATHER COOL. A crowd estimated at 10,000 was present for the sport, which was decided under cloudy skies. A decided drop in the temperature followed the rain of Friday. There was a considerable delay at the start while the fractious Harold H. was being aligned, but once in place the field got away in good style, with the winner the first in motion. Soon afterwards, however, Harold H. took command, with Sun Erin closest in pursuit. After leaving the back stretch the ultimate winner forged to the front, with Adams Eve, St. Moritz and Harold H. in close alignment. Turning into the stretch Adams Eve and Harold H. began to » tire, with Sun Caprice gaining foot. In the final furlongs First Entry drew away, and Critchfield had him under a strong hold at the end. Jack Whyte saddled another winner for the Kilmer interests when Dinah Victory registered her initial success in accounting for the first race at five furlongs. Carman-chita was second, with Uptodate third. The winning daughter of Victorian and Dinah Did, which carried the Willis Sharpe Kilmer colors, was a slight favorite over Mah Grant. She took command soon after the start, disposed of Uptodate in the run to the stretch and drew away to a three lengths advantage at the end. While Carmanchita was allowed to drop out of it in the opening quarter and came with a rush to wear Uptodate down in the last stages, Mah Grant was the chief cause of the long delay at the post, and was j never a factor. INFERNO LAD REPEATS. J. Salinskis Inferno Lad made it two in a row when he was a handy winner of the second race at three-quarters. Second went to Swifty, with Hell Diver third. Ridden by apprentice J. J. Smith the winner raced on the inside throughout and, wearing down Swifty in the last sixteenth, finished with slightly more than a length to spare. While Swifty bettered his position on the outside and at a loss of ground, Hell Diver, the favorite, was poorly ridden, and finished under his own courage. After outbreaking his field, Even Play made a game attempt, showed th3 way to the stretch, but quit badly after reaching the final three-sixteenths.
