Oh Fudge Scores at 3.80 in First, With Ona Boy Rewarding 3.20 in Taking the Second Race. CICERO, 111., Oct. 5. Six Patrons at Hawthorne reaped a modest fortune for an investment of .00 when the "Daily Double" here this afternoon paid ,364.00 following victories in the first and second races, respectively, of Mrs. E. K. Weils Oh Fudge and Mrs. M. E. Martins Ona Boy, both of them Chicago-owned horses. This return was the second largest of the Chicago season, the record for the year being the ,368.20 payoff, which was made possible when Gatlin and Ostrogoth won at Lincoln Fields on June 22. Ona Boy, guided by T. P. Martin, completed the six and a half furlongs of his race in front by a length and a half after-Oh Fudge had taken the six furlongs opener by a length. The mutuel return on Oh Fudge was 3.80 while those who supported Ona Boy received 3.20 for .00. ODDS-ON CHOICE BEATEN. Ona Boy, scoring in fourth victory in the year, beat an odds-on chance, Marlie May, to reward his backers. Marlie May turned in a creditable effort, but the best she could do was to finish second, two lengths before Exponent. Beau Thor was fourth in the field of twelve which accepted the issue. The further entry of Exponent, incidentally, will not be accepted any more during the current meeting because of his fractious post behavior. He was the principal offender in a seven-minute delay at the post. Polante Seth was the first to show in front and he showed the way for about a quarter and then Ona Boy assumed command, never again to be headed. WEIL TRIUMPH. The Chicago-owned stable of Mrs. E. K. Weil provided the winner of the first race with Oh Fudge, a juvenile daughter of Dark Hero, which turned back eleven other two-year-olds, over six furlongs. It was the first victory for the Weil youngster and under the urging of Delpha Castille achieved it by the margin of her own length. Oh Fudge forged to the front near the last eighth and then held her advantage to the end, second honors going to Doublefol and third to the favorite, Eye High. The latter showed the way for a half mile and then failed to withstand the challenges of the winner and runner-up. Oh Fudge was an outsider in the betting, paying 3.80 for . R. A. Redfields Wazayata closed with a tremendous rush to get a nose decision at the end of the mile and a sixteenth of the third. With Robert Conley in the saddle and carrying the bulk of the publics support, the seven-year-old Ormond mare was far back to the last quarter and then on the extreme outside she launched the charge that got her under the wire in front in the last stride. Orbedlu was second, Try Fair third and Attainment fourth. Miss Spider, Attainment, Try Fair and Orbedlu got to the front during the race before Wazayata came along to settle the issue. Orbedlu enjoyed his brief lead inside the last eighth. The feature race was the Michigan City Continued on thirty-ninth page. HAWTHORNE "DAILY DOUBLE" PAYS ,364 FOR TICKET Continued from first page. Handicap, at six furlongs, for three-year-olds, and it resulted in the second victory of the afternoon for the Le Mar Stock Farm and the third for apprentice Ronald Nash. Carrying the Le Mar colors to victory was Mad Money, which, made every post a winning one to score by a neck as Shining Heels ran second and the favorite, Woodsaw, third. Sustaining his speed better with the addition of blinkers to his equipment, Mad Money turned in a splendid performance to earn the decision; He never was able to get more than a half length away from Shining Heels, but he battled on gamely in the drive to out-finish his most persistent rival. The Le Mar geldings time for the three-quarters was 1:12, registered on a fast track. HOOK IT OBLIGES. The crowd made no mistake when it established T. Buckleys Hook It, an odds-on chance in the fourth race, for the Wise Counsellor filly took a good lead going around the first turn and never was seriously threatened thereafter. With Ronald Nash in the saddle, she completed the mile and a sixteenth with four lengths to spare. Captain Danger moved up into second place on the second turn, but that was as close as he could get and he accounted for the place, a half length before The Tribesman. J. P. Keezek saddled Miffed for a victorious effort "under the Le Mar Stock Farm colors in the fifth race, a sprint of a mile which brought out nine three-year-olds. He was ridden by apprentice Nash, who was completing a double for himself. Second went to Alpenglow, with Doug Brashear third. Miffed, the favorite, began to improve his position going down the back stretch, forged to the front after reaching the home straightaway and continued on to win by three lengths. Although Alpenglow, which had taken command on the stretch turn, could not hold the winner and she was easily best of the others, taking the place four lengths before Doug Brashear.
