BOW AND ARROW FIRST Qualifies as Ace Candidate of E. R. Bradley for Chicago Derby. Wins Derby Trial Handicap by a Length From Holl Image and Carvola. Bow and Arrow, wliich came back to finish third to Rushaway and Hollyrood in the Latonia Derby after suffering a sound trouncing in the Preakness Stakes, won by Bold Venture, qualified as the ace candidate of Edward R. Bradleys stable for the Chicago Derby when he scored over a field of western eligibles for that stake in the Derby Trial Handicap at Hawthorne here Tuesday. Shouldering top weight of 117 pounds and required to make his own pace, the three-year-old Whichone Beaming Over gelding raced Mrs. P. A. B. Wideners Dnieper into defeat in the first mile of the mile and one-sixteenth, then drove on under a strong ride by Joe Renick to win by a length over Superior Stables Holl Image. Carvola, only filly in the field and furnished by the E. K. Bry-son stable, finished third, a half length farther back. Behind her in order came Dnieper, Baby Talk, stable companion of the " winner, the Chicago Stables Gyral and Three Ds Stock Farms Irish Ford. Bow and Arrow was timed the distance in 1:46 and galloped out an additional three-sixteenths for the full Chicago Derby route of a mile and one-quarter in 2:074s. The track was lightning fast. Installed favorite by one of the larger off-day crowds of the meeting, the victory of the Bradley horse was immensely popular. Replete with thrills, the running saw Bow and Arrow return to the front after he had lost the lead to Dnieper within a furlong of the finish, and in the same final eighth of a mile Holl Image, Carvola and Dnieper indulged in a rough and tough three-cornered tussle before taking the positions in which they finished. Carvola, victim of sharp interference, the result of being trapped between Holl Image and Dnieper as her rider, E. Arcaro, was caught napping, might have been good enough to have taken second honors. Arcaro apparently failed to see Holl Image challenging down the outside before the Superior Stable horse had his head in front of the Bryson filly, and, with Holl Image moving with great strides, Carvola could not overtake him in the subsequent short run to the wire. The winners running mate never was better than fifth, while Gyral tired after an early stay in third place and Irish Ford remained far back throughout. It was Bow and Arrows fourth victory in six starts during the present season, his only defeats coming in the Preakness Stakes and Continued on thirty-eighth page. BOW AND ARROW FIRST Continued from first page. Latonia Derby. He was saddled by William Hurley. Lisa Belle, racing with slightly better company as she tried for her fourth victory in successive starts, had her string of triumphs broken and disappointed a big following by going down to defeat in the Edgewater Beach Claiming Purse, secondary feature and fifth race. This brought out eight to compete over six and one-half furlongs, and C. E. Davison furnished the winner in the five-year-old Kieva. Receiving a good ride at the hands -of young H. Hauer and performing in her best style, she took the dash with about a "length to spare over Onwent-sia. Morning Mail, beaten a length for second, reached the finish with as much of a margin over Lisa Belle. Kieva was the sec-, ond choice. Hauer rated the winner in close pursuit of Dark Woman and Morning Mail as they alternated in the early lead and after sending her to the front in the" stretch kept her safely before Onwentsia, though the Davison mare was under pressure in the late stages. C. Corbett, who starred in the saddle with three wins Monday, added another victory to his growing record for the meeting when he drove Countess Mario to a nose triumph over Pep Talk in the first race, for two-year-olds. The race, at five and one-half furlongs, engaged twelve, with another close finish for minor honors, which went to Maxine B. Skeeter, second choice to Dark Prince, finished fourth, with the favorite next. No excuse could be offered for either. Though several of the contestants including Pep Talk, had won before todays engagement, the victory was the winners first. She is owned by Mrs. Rex Cooper, mother of Mrs. Corbett. Thistle Genie, ridden by L. Balaski and paying better than 20 to 1, raced home the winner in a driving finish in the second race, for cheaper distance platers, at one mile and one-sixteenth. This saw the favorite, Happy Hunter, eliminate himself by bolting on the first turn. Mareve finished second, a head back and a length before Bistrita, which narrowly outfinished Papyrograph for the third part of the purse. Though probably lame at the time as he limped badly following the race, the victor gamely outfinished Mareve after she had passed Night Flower and Papyrograph and taken a short lead in the stretch. Corbett accomplished a perfect record for the afternoon and scored his second victory, sweeping the "Daily Double" events when he guided the well-backed Kapado, owned by Mrs. Thelma Ott, to victory over Margaret G., Schuie and nine others in the third race. This also was productive of a driving finish, the winner narrowly lasting for the victory after having set all the pace. Slipping through on the ins?de in the stretch, where she finished gamely, Margaret G. nipped Schuie for second place right at the end. Mortide headed the others. Almost entirely overlooked in the betting. Double Kerry, Three Ds Stock Farms homebred daughter of Kilkerry and Double D., sprang a big surprise on the crowd when she raced to victory, her first of the year, over five other three year olds in the fourth I race at six and one half furlongs.
