George silks in front Dick Naishapur Confirmed as Winner — Prosy Is Disqualified, XJossack Girl Moved Into First Place in Third Race and Prosy Placed Second. DETROIT, Mich., May 24— Dick Naishapur made amends for Prosys disqualification "when he carried the Glad Acres Farm silks of Richard B. George to an easy victory in the Tulip Purse, fifth and first half of the "dual attractions offered a big crowd at Detroit this afternoon. Slightly more than a length back of the three-year-old son of Naishapur was Show Up and third honors went to A. L. Copland, Jr.s, Dissembler, two lengths farther back. Seven ran the one mile and seventy yards, with Show Up break-* ing from outside the stalls. Clear, cool weather prevailed for the sport, and the track was in its best condition since "the opening. Morcarine, the favorite, and lightweight, under 98 pounds, one of which was over--weight, sprinted into a comfortable lead during the run to the back stretch, with Detroit Bull in closest pursuit, and All Lady ♦and Show Up showing the way to the others. Approaching the final half-mile, Dick Naishapur moved to the leaders, and when Show .Up went into command on the far turn, Porter Roberts brought the winner forward with a determined rush. After reaching the stretch, Dick Naishapur wore down Show "Up, and after rapidly establishing a clear lead, Roberts took him in hand, and he came to the finish with plenty to spare. "T COMES FROM REAR. Dissembler trailed the field into the upper turn, but with a burst of speed he drove past tiring horses, and he had little trouble in downing All Lady for minor honors. Detroit Bull dropped back steadily, but Morcarine tired badly after six furlongs, and Matchup, the other entrant, never was a factor. Under 102 pounds and one of three three-year-olds under colors, Dick Naishapur ran "the distance in the creditable time of 1:44. He was the third choice at odds of 13 to 5. Johnny Oros was astride his second winner, also trained by his father, but flaunting the silks of Leo Matyas, Jr., when Miss "Balko eked out a nose victory over Muggins in the fourth race. Hy Sonny was third, a head back. *~ Steadied along while Hy Sonny was maintaining a big lead during the opening five-eighths of the six furlongs, Miss Balko -moved up rapidly thereafter, but Muggins improved her position at the same time and, but for an inclination to lug to the rail, .probably would have gained the honors. Hy Sonny came to the final furlong with a four-length advantage, but he stopped rapidly .thereafter. Continued on thirty-fifth page. j I i GEORGE SILKS IN FRONT Continued from first page. . Johnny Oros added another winning mount ; to his leading record when he drove Witan, owned by Mrs. E. Oros, to a popular victory in the opening six furlongs event. A head back, after racing head and head with the winner during the greater part of the six . furlongs dash, was Sure Cloud, with third honors going to the fast-finishing Golden Ariel. Henry M. and jockey Willie Prehm proved a winning combination in the second race, also at six furlongs. B Eighty, the. favorite, was the runner-up, six lengths back and a length and one-half before Virbet. Honey Chile tossed jockey Frank Grill when in close quarters soon after the start. The lad escaped injury. Servant Pride and B Eighty had the speed to the stretch, where the winner moved into command. He steadily increased his advantage to finish out well in hand. SECOND DISQUALIFICATION. The second disqualification of the meeting came in the three-quarters third race when Glad Acres Farms Prosy, which led Cossack Girl by two lengths, was set back to second place for a foul, and winning honors given to Cossack Girl. Absconder was third. The foul was so flagrant that the stewards would not permit the flashing of the finish and, after receiving the protest of Charley Beasy, who rode Cossack Girl, the latter was given the major award. Irenes Bob led the field to the final quarter and, at that stage, Prosy, which was racing on the inside, carried him wide. After disposing of Irenes Bob, Prosy was permitted to bear to the inside to force Cossack Girl to the rail and Beasy was forced to take his mount up sharply. Absconder was the favorite and he was almost eliminated when he was moving into his stall when the start came. However, the favorite soon settled into his stride and was only a length back of Cossack Girl at the end.
