H0LLYR00D ADDS CHICAGO DERBY TO VICTORIES 9 6 CARVOLA RUNS SECOND Hoi! Image Third, With Rushaway Finishing in Seventh Place. Defeat of Tarn Horse Stuns Monster Crowd at Hawthorne Winner Earns Prize of 3,000. Demonstrating that he is definitely on the comeback trail, Hollyrood, winner of the Detroit Derby for Hal Price Headley, of Lexington, scored his second major stakes triumph in successive starts when he was a driving winner of the Chicago Derby, at Hawthorne Saturday. Rated within striking distance of the early leaders, Hollyrood raced to the front in the final quarter of the ten furlongs, then protected his place at the head of the field of twelve as E. K. Brysons Maryland entry, Carvola, and Holl Image, owned by W. E. Schmidt and the only local contestant, finished in whirlwind fashion to take second and third as named. Doran carried A. Pelleteri colors into fourth place. The finish saw the Canadian-owned Rushaway, triple Derby winner under A. G. Tarns colors, fighting for racing room as he came to the end of the long route in seventh place. Tugboat Frank and Sparta, being the others before him at the end. Carrying most of the public play, his defeat was a stunning blow to the crowd. Behind him in order came Bow and Arrow, Dnieper, Sir Jim James, Tatterdemalion and Baby Talk. EARNS 13,000. Under 121 pounds and with Willie Saunders in the saddle, Hollyrood raced the distance on a fast track in 2:05, which is three and two-fifths seconds slower than the track record, held by Sun Beau. "By his victory the son of High Cloud and Mandy Hamilton added 3,000 to the earnings. The award to Carvolas owner was ,000, with ,500 to third and 50 to fourth. Following a five-minute delay at the post, where Dnieper prevented a quicker start, the field left in good alignment and travelled only a short distance before Sparta, filly stable companion of the winner, was showing the way. Doran was sent along in near pursuit of the Headley filly, and then followed the winner with Bow and Arrow fourth, his stablemate, Baby Talk, fifth, and Rushaway sixth, as they raced into the first turn. Carvola and Holl Image, racing almost as a team, were fully seven lengths back. This order still prevailed as the field raced into the back stretch, but with three quarters of a mile behind him, Rushaway moved into fifth place and a short time later supplanted Dnieper in fourth position back of Sparta, Doran and Hollyrood. Near the stretch, where Carvola began to move up and Saunders shook up the winner, Sparta began to falter and Dorans head was showing in front as the leaders straightened out for the final quarter. Here Rushaway appeared certain to prove more of a contender, as he was in good stride and no more than two lengths from the lead. Rushing past Sparta and Doran, Hollyrood raced into a good lead as the final furlong was reached but in the meantime Carvola and Holl Image had their strong, belated rallies well under way and the end of nine furlongs saw Carvola third within three lengths of Hollyrood and little more than a length back of Doran and with not more than a length over the head to head Sparta and Holl Image. CARVOLAS GREAT FINISH. Coming on with grim determination, Car- vola drew up to finish within less than a length of the winner and a neck before Holl Image, Doran having gone down before their challenges in the final bristling surge to the line of finish. As Carvola and Holl Image drove down on the outside, Rushaway became entangled in rather close quarters, as did the tiring Sparta. However, the . Tarn horse had had his chance, and the lack of room near the finish hardly altered his showing. With Hawthornes luck in drawing fine weather for every important program since the opening of the meeting still in force, the Derby card was staged before the second largest crowd of the season. With appToxi- Conlinued on thirty-eighth vaae.Y H0LLYR00D ADDS CHICAGO DERBY TO VICTORIES Continued from first page. mately 20,000 people on the grounds, the attendance was exceeded by only the capacity throng entertained on Decoration Day. Liberal speculators, the crowd kept the mutuel department busy from the time wagering on the first race reached its peak until the close of betting on the final event. Early figures indicated a turnover of 00,000. As representative as it was. large, the crowd included scores of notables, possibly more than the meeting of the west side course has entertained since the golden days of the boom era. Every box and reserved seat in the clubhouse and grandstand had been sold days before and scarcely a vacant chair in the general enclosure could be found as the field streamed out of the paddock for the first race. Included among boxholders were the following: Col. E. R. Bradley, Warren Wright, Stuyvesant Peabody, E. W. Duffy, E. J. Fleming, R. E. Bensinger, D. E. Lay, George Raft, Carl Laemmle, Sr., John Touhy, Henry Busse, Guy Lombardo, Wm. Chiniquy, Edgar Bohn, M. M. Hart, Horace Lindheimer, Herbert M. Woolf, Joseph Donaghue, T. C. Worden, H. H. Cross, R. J. Nash, A. B. Letel-lier, Roy Carruthers, E. Paul Waggoner, Mrs. E. V. Mars, Mrs. P. A. Nash, Tom Nash, E. J. OToole, W. E. Schmidt, Trav Daniel, H. P. Headley, John Marsch, Emil Dene-mark, J. J. Coughlin, J. H. Manheimer, Morris Vehon, E. F. Woodward, John E. Hughes, C. A. Peck, F. M. Grabner, A. Pelleteri and H. L. Emerich. Other notables in the near capacity gathering that swarmed the clubhouse included Mr. and Mrs. H. Dickenhorst, Mrs. John R. Thompson, Frank E. Keirl, Joseph Boueker, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Wise, Harry Bloom, John F. Healy and daughter, .Eleanor; Edgar Born, Alfred Born, Walter Schuettler, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Grabiner, William J. Connors, Ray Moore, Judge Joseph Sabath, Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Grossman, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Glick, Senator John Broderick and Mr. and Mrs. Harry Ashe. The great turnout of devotees left no doubt that the old fixture responsible for their presence is just as popular as in the past, though it has been revived and discarded more times than any other important stake. Todays running of the feature, the first since 1933, was the ninth over the Hawthorne track and tenth in the long span of forty-six years since its inception at old West Side Park back in 1890. Prince Fonso took the first running worth ,785, with Pilgrim second, .and Blarney Stone third. Transferred to Hawthorne in 1891, when it was won by Brookwood, it enjoyed four runnings in as .many years before .being discarded. Lew Weir in 1892, Morello in 1893 and Vassal the following year were the winners. Then followed a lapse of ten years before it was revived in the tallyho-tandem period to have one of its finest stagings. English Lad, with Dave Nicol in the saddle, scored over Prince Silver Wings, Moharib and others in that memorable running of 1904. With turf speculation taboo in Illinois, it again passed into the limbo of memories until 1924, when its revival saw the illustrious Black Gold, one of the few horses to win as many as four Derbys, victorious over a field that included Giblon and Senator Norris. After remaining on Hawthornes program of stakes in 1925, when it was won by Caractus, it again was dropped, not to be re-established until 1933, in which ninth running Gay World was returned the winner. Howard Wells, whose stable has been eminently successful here, saddled the winner of the National Broadcasting Purse in Howard Oots three-year-old Epinard filly, Marica. This was the most important of the races supporting the feature and it brought out a strong field of seven to race one mile and a sixteenth. Under the light impost of ninety-two pounds, Marica led throughout, but was only a head before C. E. Davisons Salaam, the favorite, as she passed the finish line. Salaam was rated in fourth place to the stretch turn and advanced to second with a rush soon after reaching the stretch, but was not quite good enough to overtake the winner. Minor honors fell to Mrs. K. N. Gilpins Buck Langhorne, with Fire Advance leading Brown Feathers, Caliban and Pom- posity.
