C. Barrows j Sheriff Eugene in the fourth race on the t program, a test of six furlongs engaging j eight sprinters. j A good-sized week-day crowd applauded the five-year-old chestnut racer as he won j over a slow track in the time of 1:15% for the six furlongs, the best recorded for the t distance during the early part of the card.

It was Fritz Hallams • ninth win in the last three years. j J Sheriff Eugene, second choice, was the first in pursuit of the leading Fritz Hallam | nearly all the way, trying desperately to I a catch him. However, he could not get closer j in . than within a length of him. What a Pal made a dangerous rush at the a Shoemaker gelding in the last stages but p was defeated by three-quarters of a length ? at the finish. Sheriff Eugene held the show position safe by six lengths from Bryonin. a as NO HARM FROM FALL. 1 The Cuban reinsman Fernandez further I proved that he suffered no ill effects from the tumble as he guided Darby Dan Farms Darby Dean to an easy triumph in the Wood- s land Handicap, principal attraction on the c program, thus bringing out his third success u of the day. Three lengths in the wake of the Ohio-owned racer, which was making his | J initial appearance of the meeting, came Le £ Mar Stock Farms Mightily, while a neck to f the rear of the runner-up was J. R. Nevilles Sky Ball. Cleverly rated behind the pace which was set by Alice Highland until the field headed .. into the home lane for the run to the wire in the three-quarters of a mile dash, Darby 5 Dean experienced no difficulty in disposing ** of the early pacemaker. Once in front, the a I three-year-old brown son of Tommy Boy — J Fair Arrow steadily increased his margin. J Having canceled his d mounts yesterday | after he had been shaken up in a fall from j i ! p Sidout, jockey Fernandez came back today i f to score a triple victory within the first six J | J. races. His first was on Jobella in the open- j ! ing event, his second on Fritz Hallam, and ! r his third on Darby Dean. P . F
