WEATHERCHANGESCARD Pan Toy Withdrawn From Seventh Race Mount Auburn Added. Detroit Platers Have an Inning Best Horses Compete in Sixth Maystick Winner. DETROIT, Mich., June 18 Cloudy weather at the regular time for the closing of the entries Wednesday and a hard rain yesterday afternoon and during the night, were the causes of an all-claiming race program being, offered at Detroit this afternoon. Due to the change in track conditions, Pan Toy was withdrawn from the seventh race, and after it was reopened, Mount Auburn was added to the field. Despite sultry and cloudy weather, a good crowd was present. Favorites and those held in next esteem were successful in most instances. The best band of platers were under colors for the fifth, the fifth of the six events offered at three-quarters of a mile. This resulted in a mild surprise when Maystick carried the Blue Moon Stable colors to a driving victory. Witson was second and Gladess third. Seven were under colors, with the winner forging to the front near the final half mile. Drawing away steadily, Maystick established a good advantage, but he was under urging in withstanding Witson, which came from far back to be going the fastest of all at the end. Gladess, which was rushed to the front early, held on well. Full Tilt was done after three furlongs. The winner ran the distance in 1:13. Gladess was a well backed choice. Continued on third page. WEATHER CHANGES CARD Continued from first page. Gay Banner won her first race since 1934 when she led Appomattox, Mad Bull and eight others to the end of the three-quarters sprint that opened the program. Carlos Mojena rushed the winner to the front during the first few strides and, repuising the repeated challenges of Appomattox, came to the finish a half length before him. Mad Bull drove down on the outside to beat Pent House by a nose for third honors. Princess Pyre, strong second choice to the winner, jumped into the air at the start and tired after reaching a contending position. Whizz James, fashionably bred and aging son of St. James, was a driving winner of the second race, for which eleven lowly platers were under colors. Muriellynn, which enjoyed favoritism, was second, and Sneeze third. Working his way forward steadily, Whizz James, which was handled by Glenn Smith, wore Sneeze down in the last furlong to lead Muriellynn by a length at the close. Chilla Lee finished fourth. Away slowest of all, Muriellynn worked her way forward steadily but weakened after offering a bold bid nearing the final furlong. Star Bucklands Ladino, which always favored the local track, won his second race of the year and his first here when he was an extremely popular and easy winner of the third race. Chiliad was second and Steponit third. Ridden by Glen Smith, who was completing a double, Ladino drove past the others to take command near the final three-sixteenths of the three-quarters sprint. Once in the lead, the son of Ladkin rapidly increased his advantage to reach the end five lengths before Chiliad, which led Steponit by two and one-half lengths for second. For a half mile Stonecrop, Felawake and Chiliad indulged in a battle for the leadership, but they tired in the drive. Sioux Chief won his second straight race of the meeting and his sixth of the year when he turned back the heavily backed Al-wintour, Sweep Myth and five others that met over six furlongs in the fourth. Under the colors of E. B. Thomas, Claw son, Mich., sportsman, and handled by J. Rosen, Sioux Chief worked his way forward steadily, while Sweep Myth and Alwintour were dominating the pace. Wearing Alwintour down in the last sixteenth, Sioux Chief reached the end of the six furlongs half a length before Alwintour, which held the same advantgae over Sweep Myth. Empress Yvonne had no mishaps and Nankin made up ground to lead the three others to the end. Hidden Dust won her second race of the meeting wheni she led B.
