JAW BREAKER DEFEATED Seven to Ten Choice Outrun by Three Ds Gin Daisy. Third Triumph for Waggoner Miss in Nine Starts Westchester Purse Cicero Headliner. Jaw Breaker, high priced juvenile son of Chicle and Baba Kenny, in Mrs. Ethel V. Mars Milky Way Farms Stable, which had been looked upon as one of the outstanding prospects racing here, encountered a tartar in the Texas filly, Gin Daisy, a Three Ds Stock Farm home-bred, and was humbled rather badly by the daughter of Royal Ford as they met in the Westchester Purse, one of Fridays best races at Hawthorne. Taking the lead at the start and running the five and one-half furlongs on a good track in 1:07, excellent time considering a strong wind bucked by the racers in the home stretch, Gin Daisys gray coat glistened brightly, well in the van of her four rivals in the final five furlongs. Somewhat overlooked in the betting, she paid almost 8 to 1. Although at all stages held safe by the winner, Jaw Breaker, trying for his second triumph in as many starts, and so highly regarded by the players that he would have paid only 7 to 10, ran a good and game race tb finish nearest the Texas filly. For almost five furlongs he was within a length and , one-half of the winner, then fell back slightly until Gin Daisy held a lead of two and one-half lengths at the end. Beaten six lengths for second, J. E. Wide-ners Fitter, which had won two of three previous starts, accounted for show honors half a length before High Polish. Frisco Kid was the other contestant. Oh the stretch turn Fitter went so wide that she probably lost half a dozen lengths. She was the second choice at 4 to 1. Ridden by Eddie Arcaro, Gin Daisy was scoring her third victory in nine starts. -Astride Tranquillity Farms Capt. Cal in a field of eight three-year-olds brought to the post for the Algonquin Purse, which shared the limelight, Arcaro rung up his third win to clinch riding honors for the afternoon. The three-year-olds compared ability over six and one-half furlongs, and Capt Cal was the third betting choice to finish in front in six races. Cardarrone, Watercure and Transfun were second, third and fourth to the Tranquillity Farm colt. Following a zig-zag course, Capt. Cal went to- the outside as Transfun and Cardarrone battled for the lead. On the turn Arcaro headed the eventual winner to the inside and as he advanced on the leading Transfun and Cardarrone they inproved his chances by making a wide sweep around the stretch turn, where Transfun, racing on the inside, bore out. After bounding to the front in the stretch, Capt. Cal gradually shook off Cardarrone to win in handy fashion a length and a half before the J. Newman horse. In the meantime Transfun was fighting a losing battle with Watercure for third place, but it was only by inches that she failed to outstay the A. B. Letellier horse. Abel and Jones Board Trade, ridden by E. Arcaro and a pronounced choice, raced to an easily-achieved victory over seven others, which had not won during the period of the meeting, in the introductory dash. Beginning in front, the four-year-old winner raced wide for a little more than a quarter and after greatly increasing his lead as he forced back the second choice, Bright Bubble, in crossing sharply to the inside on the turn, he came on to win by four lengths. Faltering in the late stages, Bright Bubble failed to outfinish Jim Mc-Connell for second, which she lost by a neck while leading the nearest of the others by half a dozen lengths. Pep Talk, paying three-to-five, signalled tj his first effort under Mrs. Albert Sabaths colors with a winning performance when in downing five other juveniles over five and one-half furlongs in the second race he acquitted himself in a fashion quite befitting one so stanchly backed. Brought from behind the pace in the stretch the locally-owned victor pulled away to score by two arid one-half lengths. Prum was the one to finish second with Colonels Miss third. Mild interference was encountered by the runner-up. Ike Weils Tomyc, three-year-old maiden that had finished second on two occasions during the present meeting, won out over a small band of winners of the ,250 claiming class in the third race at six furlongs. Under a nicely-judged ride at the hands of B. James the winner forced Double Nuggets early pace under mild restraint and after moving into the lead in the stretch weakened but his young pilot kept him going long enough to take the race about a neck before the early pacemaker.
