Meets Meets First First Defeat Defeat 8, ENTRY RULES FAVORITE J. E. Hughes Silent Shot Coupled With Bruce Colorbearer. Mr. James Separates Entry at Finish of Stretch Duel Public Choices Fare Well. Jay Jay, three-year-old stakes winning son of Wise Counsellor, owned by Howard Bruce of Maryland, made an auspicious Hawthorne debut when he accounted for the Oak Park Handicap, three-quarters feature contest at that course yesterday. Getting to the front in a bristling, sinew straining drive, the Bruce gelding scored by a head, with the Blue Ridge Farms Mr. James taking second, and J. E. Hughes Silent Shot, which was coupled as an entry with the winner, placing third. Others to compete in. the race were West Main, Nedrow and Ding Bin and they finished in that order. With a slow track prevailing, support for the Bruce-Hughes combination, both established fanciers of such footing, became so great that the entry went to the post the shortest-priced choice of the afternoon, which saw favorites very much in the ascendancy. Whipped to the front as he secured room on the inside in the opening quarter, Mr. James set the pace, with Jay Jay second, and it was not until in the last furlong that Mr. James tired. For about two-thirds of the distance Ding Bin occupied third place, with Nedrow next, Silent Shot fifth and West Main a distant trailer. As Ding Bin fell back in the stretch Jay Jay drove on to catch and pass Mr. James as Silent Shot and West Main were gaining much ground to closely press the leaders at the end. FOURTH IX FIVE STARTS. Eddie De Camillas had the mount on the winner and the victory was the fourth in five starts for the Bruce colorbearer. He carried 103 pounds and ran the distance in 1:14 Is. Only one field excepted, small bands provided all the racing, which produced many thrilling finishes, despite the small number of contestants. Damp and chilly weather held down the attendance. Nations Taste, son of Stimulus and Be Careful in Mrs. Ethel V. Mars Milky Way Farms Stable, raced to his maiden victory when he easily defeated eight other non-winning youngsters at five furlongs in the opening race. The locally owned victor, whose name was selected from among thousands submitted by radio fans last winter, displayed a pronounced fancy for the footing, and while Robert L. flashed enough speed to race with him for about three furlongs he pulled away swiftly thereafter. At the finish his margin over Robert L. was four lengths, while Never Tire, which accounted for show honors, was beaten a length by the runner-up. , Opposing possibly the cheapest company he has raced with and making his first start since January, C. A. Pecks five-year-old Be Shy made it two in a row for the public choices by taking the second race, at six furlongs. Morning Mail was good enough to force the winner to a drive and they arrived at the finish about a half length apart. On the stretch turn Morning Mail lost much ground, possibly more than enough to have reversed the finish with the winner. Board Trade, which finished in third place, sprinted into a wide early lead and was showing the way by four lengths entering the final quarter, where he fell victim to the winner and runner-up when his stride shortened badly. INTERESTING CONTEST. Cheaper three-year-olds, all non-winners since May 22, comprised the field for the third race, also at a distance of six furlongs, and although the field was small, only six competing, the contest was an interesting one.

Judge Hay and fourth choice in the betting, finished iri front, with Inflame second and the 6 to 5 favorite, Bon Centime, third. They reached the finish closely grouped and with Inflame only a head back of the winner, which carried the silks of Mrs. Carl S. Nus-baum. Passing the early pacemaker, Mr. Ricks, the choice gained a short lead in the stretch, but in the final sixteenth bowed to Onwentsia and Inflame, though beaten less than a length. Favorites returned to the limelight and gained their third victory when Julia Grant, furnished by the E. K. Bryson stable and having B. James in the saddle, scored over Blue Hour, Hip Boots, Regards and two others in the fourth race, at one mile and one-sixteenth. Julia Grant wrested the lead from Captain Red on the far turn and, after withstanding a mild challenge from Hip Boots entering the stretch, came on to win by three lengths. Coming with a rush in the stretch, Blue Hour passed Captain Red, Regards and Hip Boots in the final furlong and at the end was leading Hip Boots by a length and one-half for second place. The B. F. Christmas stable put over its first winner at the meeting when the useful four-year-old Ed Crump gelding Sunned outsprinted a small band of mediocre quality over three-quarters in the fifth race. For this Kieva and Euryalus, the latter under silks for the first time in months, shared favoritism but failed to justify the honor when they went down decisively, though Kieva managed to take minor honors. W. C. Reicherts Bushmaster raced to. second place, a length away from the Christmas horse and about five before Kieva. As Euryalus tired of forcing Bushmasters pace, the latter opened up a clear lead before Sunned came up to offer his successful bid and, after pushing his head to the last eighth, the winner drew away. Kieva, never a serious threat to the leaders, made a mild rally soon after reaching the stretch, only to falter in the closing stages. When Mrs. Emil Denemarks Brilliant Light scored over omeone Else in the seventh, it marked- the fifth public choice of the afternoon to score. Brilliant Light and Someone Else always had the race between them, but the contest was not decided until in the very last jump, the Denemark three-year-old just getting his nose in front for the victory. Wild Count finished in third place, but never threatened the first two to finish.
