Third. ♦ Third Straight Success for Public Choices — Jockey Sterling Young Pilots Two Winners. ♦ DETROIT, Mich., July 23.— Broadcaster, another Kentucky performer acquired by H. C. Hatch, Toronto breeder and turfman, made good at the first asking under the blue colors of the Canadian when he accounted for the fifth, the fourth event of that variety for three-year-olds and one of the best offerings at the Fair Grounds this afternoon. At the end of the six furlongs, Broadcaster enjoyed a half length advantage over F. F. Brants Smuggled In, which beat E. Drillons Gene D. by a length for second. There was a slight delay at the start of the fifth, but once aligned Hoptoit was the first under way. Beckoned, however, soon took command and raced into a two-length advantage in the run to the far turn. Gene D. and Broadcaster were showing the way to the others, with Smuggled In forced to go to the outside for room. At the end of the three-eighths Gene D. began to subdue Beckoned, and he was in the van before the field reached the stretch. Sterling Young, who was completing a double, brought the winner up fast and, in the final furlong, he drove the Hatch three-year-old into the lead. Smuggled In came with his belated rush at this stage and was fast gainng on the winner as they reached the finish. Broadcaster scored the third straight success for the favorites and, under 112 pounds, ran the distance in 1:13%. ATTENDANCE GOOD. Ideal weather prevailed for the sport, which was decided over a fast track and before a good-sized crowd. The sixth race, which shared honors with the fifth, was productive of a mild surprise when the Hastings Stables Tractable was the winner over Blackstrap, Injustice and four others that raced over the six furlongs. Taking command soon after the start, the winner sprinted into a three-length lead in the first quarter to lead Blackstrap by a length at the finish. After offering Blackstrap a mild challenge at the end of the three-eighths, Injustice, which enjoyed favoritism, dropped back to be the best of the others. Hidden Dust, which races for H. W. and W. J. Young, Louisville sportsmen, scored her second victory of the meeting when she lasted to beat the lightly regarded Templeton in the first race at five and a half furlongs. Third went to Dokas, slight favorite over the winner. Seven started with Hidden Dust racing into a long lead in the run to the stretch. After a hard duel with Dokas, Tem- pleton drew away to be a half length back of the winner and a length before Dokas at the end. With the exception of Maple Flower, which showed early speed, and Im- perial Jack, which made up some ground to finish in fourth position, the others were never prominent. VICTORY FOR MARKS. Maystick registered his initial success when he carried the L. J. Marks colors to an easy victory over ten other three-year-old maidens that started in the second race under lowly claiming conditions. Second went to Socialite with Lenawee, 19 to 10 favorite, taking third. While Socialite and j Maystick ran head and head to the final three-sixteenths, where Maystick drew away | to a commanding lead. Lenawee was always I the best of the others. Jane Hastings, the 1 second choice, unseated jockey S. Young at the start and caused repeated interference as she raced with the other members of the field that trailed the leading trio. I The son of San-Utar and Many Thorns, which was making his second start, forced the pace of Socialite under good rating and i when the latter began to falter, Dabson ! drove the Marks three-year-old into the ! lead to increase his advantage to two lengths at the end. The latter was a length before Lenawee, which beat Gertrude S. I six lengths. Taking command at the start of the three- | quarters third race that was fashioned for j three-year-olds, H. R. Dickens Chatterdoo scored his first victory of the year and the I first success of the afternoon for the talent | Albane, second choice to the winner, was 1 second, three-quarters of a length back of Continued on twenty-sixth page. BROADCASTERTRIUMPHS Continued from first page. Chatterdoo and two lengths before Brass Buttons. The veteran Carl Meyer had the son of Chatterton in the van at once and after disposing of Jeton in the run to the far turn, Chatterdoo increased his advantage to two lengths in the next quarter. Through the stretch, however, the winner was weakening fast and Meyer was forced to put him to strong pressure to defeat Albane. After his early burst of speed Jeton quit badly, while Final Fling, which came in for good support, showed an even effort. The third three-year-old race of the day, which served as the fourth event, and also at six furlongs, resulted in another popular triumph when the Elmtree Stables Fretful was an easy winner. After leading to the final furlong Exhibition was second, with Genipa, the rank outsider, third. Although outbreaking her opponents, Fretful was saved as Exhibition, the second choice, went out to show the way. At the end of th« half mile, where Exhibition had established a two-length lead, Glen Smith called upon the winner, forging to the front under light urging and, shortly after reaching the concluding furlong, Fretful soon drew away into a good lead, with Smith taking hold of her near the finish, where she had a three-length advantage.
