t DEAD HEAT AT DETROIT Levi Cooke and Brilliant Pal Even at Finish Mark. Ste. Louise Scores in. Feature Race Cold, Dismal Weather Affects Days Attendance. - . n I In wagers made away from the track the prices as published in the chart of the dead-heat race should prevail if track odds were offered and accepted. Where house odds were taken the procedure should be as follows: If was bet on each horse and 19 to 1 laid on Levi Cooke, the payoff should be 0 to the bettor and 0 to the layer; if 7 to 1 was laid on Brilliant Pal, the payoff should be to the bettor and to the layer. The amount of money bet plus the odds laid with the total divided equally between the bettor and the layer is the regular method of payoff in case of a dead heat with book-- ing odds prevailing. DETROIT, Mich., June 6 Thrilling finishes, which included a dead heat, was offered the small gathering that braved the cold, dismal and rainy weather to witness the program offered by. the Detroit Racing Association here this afternoon. Surprises were in order in most instances and the track continued in a slow condition. Two features were offered the gathering and two-year-olds met for the first one, when eight fillies, representing six different interests, contested four and a half furlongs for the Top Flight Purse and fifth event. This resulted in a triumph for Mrs. C. R Cranes Ste. Louise, which led the Bomar Stables Beth Bon by slightly more than a length at the end. The latter was some three lengths before Mrs. H. Dattners Chance Queen, which tired rapidly after forcing the winners pace to the final furlong. Cania, which with Barbara A. carried the Tranquility Farms colors, and was the choice, saved fourth from Barbara A., Blue Alice, a stablemate of Beth Bon, Mattie Houser and Memana. BETH BONS BELATED BID. . Taking command at the start, Ste. Louise, which raced on the inside throughout, drew clear of Chance Queen entering the stretch, but was put under strong urging when Beth Bon, which was always the best of the : others, offered her belated challenge. Running the distance in :55, Ste. Louise ; clipped three-fifths of a second from the track record established by Come Home Monday. George Burns rode his second winner, and the Oak Tree Stables Bahamas scored his ; first victory this year by leading Jake Preedmans Garden Message, F. H. Carpenters . Gold Standard and three others to the i finish, of the Ypsilanti Purse that shared honors with the Top Flight Purse. Taking command soon after the start and setting his own pace, Bahamas reached the finish slightly more than a length before the well backed Garden Message, which lost ground throughout. Knights Hope and Gold Standard, which followed in closest pursuit of the winner to the final furlong, tired fast in the last stages. A surprise came with the first race for plater maiden two-year-olds when W. Le Barons Bon Shot was a driving winner over the well-backed Matapeake, Some Boy and three others. SCORES IN HARD DRIVE. Always in closest pursuit of the pacemak-ing Matapeake, the winner, a son of Bon Homme, which had the services of G. Burns, responded to strong urging in the drive and, taking command in the last stages, was a half of a length before Matapeake at the end. A length and a half separated Matapeake and Some Boy when the finish was reached. Highdry, a strong second choice, was far back throughout.

The pair reached the end a nose apart and some three lengths before Pleasant, which got up to head the tiring Boy Bunting at the end. With the exception of the opening five-sixteenth, where Red Garter held a head advantage over Hilltown, the- ultimate result was never in doubt. During the run through the stretch Hilltown tired and Sun Lightship, a royally-bred daughter of Sun Briar and Lightship, which was making her initial start, came on to down her more seasoned stablemate. Although Craig, who rode Sun -Lightship, and Horvath, astride the faltering .Hilltown, put up a mild tussle for winning honors, the Kilmer colorbearers were much the best of the others. A dead heat, two of which prevailed during the long Detroit season last year, came with the running of the third race, when L. Lacascios Levi Cooke and E. Sigmans Brilliant Pal reached the end of the six furlongs sprint so closely aligned that the placing judges could not separate them. They were a length before Oddesa Clark, which, like Brilliant Pal, was lightly regarded in the wagering. While Brilliant Pal raced Imperial Bob into defeat during the opening furlong, Levi Cooke was forced to come from far back and, although he appeared to have had Brilliant Pal beaten near the end, he faltered slightly at the finish. Golden Saint, which enjoyed favoritism, showed little. Levi Cooke was the second choice at 3 to 1. A nose margin decided the fourth race, also at six furlongs, when G. E. Ewins Lamp Black got up to head Grace Bunting at the end. Third went to Burnside. Twelve from the lowly grade ranks started, with Grace Bunting sprinting into a clear lead after the opening five-sixteenths and, although the winner was inclined to bear in during the stretch running, Charles Stevenson drove him on to his short margin of success. With the exception of Stock Market, which quit badly after holding third position for three-eighths, the others were never factors. Fred M. Alger, Jr., vice-president of the Detroit Racing Association and the owner of Azucar, left Thursday for New Tork to witness the running of the Belmont Stakes. While in the East Alger will interest horsemen in the ,000 Special to be offered here next Thursday. Before leaving here he informed judge Joseph A. Murphy that he had been assured that several eastern own-? erns will ship here for the special race.
