BOMAR STABLE DOUBLE Yellow Tulip Qualifies for the Hawthorne Juvenile Stakes. Blue Alice Earns First Purse of Day for Detroit Owners at Fair Grounds Course. DETROIT, Mich., June 1. The locally-owned Bomar Stable of Charles A. Bohn and Peter A. Markey, which has been very successful here, furnished its second winner of the afternoon when Yellow Tulip, which will be shipped to Chicago to fill his Hawthorne Juvenile Stakes engagement; defeated seven eligibles for Saturdays renewal of the St. Clair Stakes, when he got up to head Jay Van Winkles Gene Wagers in the fourth race. Mrs. Paul Kelleys Genial Manners was third, two lengths back of Gene Wagers and a length before Dunnamany. Blue Alice had previously won for the Bomar Stable, and like Yellow Tulip, was handled by J. Bryson. The winner, which was winning his second race here, ran the distance in the sparkling time of 1:00 and was an even money choice. During the first quarter Yellow Tulip was unable to match strides with Gene Wagers and did not begin to wear him down until near the final furlong. Responding to Bry-sons strong handling he forged to the front of Gene Wagers in the last stages, to be drawing away from him at the end. For nearly a half mile Fumble held third position, but he was tiring fast, and it was no task for Genial Manners, which came down on the outside, and Dunnamany, which was on the inside, to wear him down. THREATENING WEATHER. Lucky to receive only a portion of the heavy rain that fell in the downtown sector shortly before the running of the first race, the track was at its best, but the unsettled weather conditions kept the crowd to a minimum. The program, one of the best week-day offerings of the meeting, had three stellar attractions with the juvenile event the first Of the trio.

Completing a double for jockey Rosen, Sir Jim James sprinted into a clear lead during the first quarter. Nursed along thereafter he moved away when put to light urging, and the finish found him three lengths before Flag Cadet, which came from far back to beat Lovely Spy by a half length for second. TITANICAL SURPRISES. The program was opened with a big surprise with Titanical, from the J. E. Davis stable, beating Sporting Green by a head at the end of five furlongs. Denbigh was third, slightly more than a length in the wake of Sporting Green and a nose before Hearty, which quit after pursuing the speedy Denbigh to the final furlong. Little Wichita, one of the choices, showed nothing. An accident, which proved to be serious for apprentice V. Neal, marred the second race for older maidens and which went to Bomar Stables fashionably-bred and well supported Blue Alice. Top Tax was second, and Photography third. Nearing the final three furlongs, Gay Streamer, which was ridden by Neal, fell when in close quarters, and Prince Fred collided with him.
