Moving over to Arlington Park to compete in the Inaugural Handicap at the fashionable north side course, he finished fourth, but was never out of the money in his remaining engagements during the year. De-liberator was second in the Peabody Handicap at Lincoln Fields, then trimmed a classy field in the Steger Handicap at Lincoln Fields before returning to New York, whei;e he won the Interborough Handicap at Jamaica. The Everglades speedster finished third in the Laurel Stakes at Laurel, was second in the Baltimore Autumn Handicap at Pim-lico and third in the Ritchie at the same course. Deliberators stakes earnings for the year totalled 5,285, whereas his total earnings for 1937 were 8,285, a sizeable sum considering the number of engagements that he fulfilled. ,
