DOUBLE FOR WRIGHT AND TRIPLE FOR E. ARCARO ga c FEATURE TO PHAROSAY Gosum Graduates in Calumet Farm Silks in Opening Number. Cool Weather Prevails for Inaugural J of Final Week at Cicero Elm-hurst Purse Headliner. - - A double triumph of the red and blue silks of Warren Wrights Calumet Farm Stable, trained by Bert B. Williams, and a triple win "for the Calumet contract jockey, Eddie Arcaro, were the highlights of the afternoon as the Hawthorne meeting of the Chicago Business Mens Racing Association entered its final week Monday. The double score of the Wright colors began in the first race, a contest for juvenile maidens, and was completed with the victory of the three-year-old Pharosay in the Elmhurst Purse, fifth and feature event of the day. Besides guiding the two Wright horses, Arcaro also had the mount on the winner of the second race. 4 Performing- in more businesslike fashion I than when he made his three-year-old bow m at the West Side course ten days ago, Pharosay took the three-quarters headline contest in the creditable time of 1:12, and finished with speed in reserve. Backed into favoritism, though by no pronounced degree, over Tranquillity Farms Capt. Cal, Pharo-says victory was a popular one. Capt. Cal finished second with Mrs. P. A. B. Wideners Reminiscent third in the field of eight, only one of which, the filly Illeanna, is more than three years old. PLACED ON OUTSIDE. At the starting point Pharosay again behaved badly, and as a penalty was required to start from a position outside the stall gate. With the start Arcaro had him away in good fashion, though Foyot, John Marschs fast Epinard gelding, shot to the front and was well in the lead before a furlong had been run. With Foyot to guide him, Pharosay forgot all his bad habits and followed Foyot to the stretch, then quickly opened up too much of a lead for Capt. Cal to overcome. With Foyot tiring badly, Reminiscent was another to pass him in the stretch run. Reminiscent was beaten about three lengths for second. While public choices more than held their own, the sport, witnessed by a crowd of about average proportions and under fine conditions, was not devoid of surprises, most astounding of which was the victory of J. L. Roberts Lee Laffoon over Miss Saxon, Booms Pal, Mad Frump and five others in the mile and one-sixteenth Brookfield Claiming Purse, which followed the feature. Also placed on the outside at the start, the Roberts filly, after racing around the entire field, swept to the finish about two lengths before Miss Saxon, which in turn defeated Booms Pal by a length. The latter, next to last on the stretch turn, closed in whirlwind fashion and was far before Mad Frump and the others at the wire. Ridden by J. Deering and trained by her owner, the winner paid almost 22 to 1 straight. It was her first start of the meeting and only the second in five weeks. GOSUM GRADUATES. Gosum, son of imported Hotweed, by Bruleur and The Porter mare, Slow and Easy, left the maiden class with a victory over eight other juvenile colts and geldings, all non-winners, in the first race at five and one-half furlongs. Owned by Warren Wright, the winner, a half-brother to Frederick, Gloritone, Crossbow II. and other winners, could have won by a wide margin but jockey E. Arcaro allowed him to loaf along after he had opened up a good lead in the stretch and Siam, which closed like a rifle shot, was within a neck of him at the wire. Via-jero, an entry with Nedporte, finished third with Gerald fourth. The winner was the choice. Mrs. G. B. Scallons Transport, also ridden by Arcaro and the favorite, raced to an easily achieved win over Polly E., Mars Palatine and six others, all from among the cheaper sprinters, in the second race at six furlongs. After the first three furlongs, during which Pomparagon raced with him at the head of the field, the winner enjoyed a Continued on thirty-eighth page. S DOUBLE FOR WRIGHT AND TRIPLE FOR E. ARCARO JContinued from first page. clear advantage and appeared to have something in reserve as he finished the three-quarters leading Polly E. by a length and one-half. Mars Palatine, which was two lengths back of the runner-up, outfinished Hip Boots by a neck for minor honors. Mars Palatine, at better than 100 to 1 straight, returned show odds of almost 10 to 1. Overcoming a poorly gauged ride and the additional handicap of swerving repeatedly in the stretch, W. Krennings Ogee raced home a handy winner over Night Flower, Pompous Genie and others in the third race, another six furlongs sprint given over to the poorer performers. L. Wilson was astride the winner, which won by a length. When racing to the front in the stretch, the Krenning horse bore to the inside but upon reaching the lead veered out badly as he drew away from Pompous Genie before the latter had fallen before Night Flowers belated rush. Spickeen led the field for more than five furlongs then tired badly with Whiskarita, third choice to Night Flower and Pompous Genie, also faltering when the drive came. Santerno, useful Sand Mole gelding, owned by Mrs. J. P. Keezek, was a handy winner of the fourth race over six and one-half furlongs and for which Shirley B. was the favorite. She was next to last in the field of eight, second money going to Centennial, with Evening Gown next and Irish Wake fourth. With B. James doing the riding, Santerno started in his usual sluggish fashion but after about four furlongs quickened his stride and his young rider had him in front in plenty of time to draw away for an emphatic victory. Centennial was the first to pass the early leaders, Prince John and Irish Wake, but no match- for the winner, defeated Evening Gown by a length and one-half for second.
