SEND WRIGHT BAND TO CRETE Main Division of the Calumet Stable to Be Shipped to Lincoln Fields This Week. LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 15— Headed by a number of candidates for all of the added money features of the Lincoln Fields Jockey Club, the main division of Warren Wrights Calumet Farm Stable will leave Kentucky for Lincoln Fields this week. The stable, in charge of Frank J. Kearns, will head for Chicago from Calumet Farm, near Lexington, and Irving Anderson, who is riding in 1 the best form of his career and was one of j the stars of the recent Pimlico meeting, is going along to do the riding. Decision to send the stable to Lincoln Fields was reached just in time for Wright to name a number of his better horses for the principal races to be run at the Crete course during the twenty-seven days it will operate starting on May 25. A smaller unit goes to North Randall, near Cleveland, in charge of Jack Hodgins. The stables handicap star, Bull Lea, will remain in Kentucky for a rest of several months brought about by an injury suffered in his final workout for the Dixie Handicap. The Widener Challenge Cup winner struck himself behind one of his knees, but the injury is not nearly as serious as was at first believed and Bull Lea has been under a saddle for a slow gallop daily since arriving at the farm. Later his exercise under saddle will be discontinued for a period of about two months, following which he will be returned to training.
