Woolf, of Kansas City, looking on, Unerring, full sister to the Kentucky Derby winner, Law- rin, raced to a handy victory in the Edgewater Beach Hotel Purse, a sprint ; of six furlongs for three-year-olds, which topped todays program at i Lincoln Fields. Sprinting through a lively shower which blew up while the field was at the post, the daughter of Insco and Margaret Lawrence ran the distance in 1:12V-,, one of the fastest performances of the meeting, to ! win by a little more than a length. Second honors went to the Walmac i Farms Olney, as J. E. Wideners Carla, which scored a fluke victory over ! Unerring a few days ago, was third.

Unerring broke well under apprentice Mike Caffarella, but it was No Competition and Olney which battled for pacemaking honors for a little more than a quarter. On the turn Unerring, saving ground, forged to the front and then swung wide into the stretch, carrying Olney out with her. Olney battled gamely the rest of the way, but Unerring was always master of the situation and won with something in reserve. She was the favorite and paid .40 for in the mutuels, SMART CRACK TIRES. In racing to second place Olney beat Carla a length and a half with the tiring No Competition another five lengths back. Smart Crack raced with the leaders for about half the distance and then had enough while the others always were out of the running. The victory was the second in four starts this year for the Woolf filly. Skies were overcast all afternoon, and the rain, which finally fell just before the fifth race, threatened before the program began. This probably had something to do with the attendance which, however, was of fair size. The Avalon Purse, at a mile and a sixteenth, was the principal supporting number, and the rain which softened the track, making it good, was to the particular fancy of Mrs. R. T. Runnels Star Bud, which was able to ring up his third victory of the meeting. This eight-year-old gelding, carrying apprentice E. Hanke to his second victory of the day, won by two lengths, with Miss Bonnie running second and Pundit third. WISE ALLY GRADUATES. The favorite players got off on the right foot when John Marschs Wise Ally graduated out of the maiden two-year-old division in the first race. This daughter of Wise Counsellor and Bell Alliance stepped the five furlongs in 1:01, under jockey Chas. Kurtsinger and, leading from end to end, won with six lengths to spare.

UNERRING SPRINTS THROUGH SHOWER TO VICTORY Continued from first page. raced in fairly close attendance of the Marsch filly to the final quarter, and then Wise Ally drew away to win as her rider pleased. Last Rose tired near the end and Count Natural moved up to take the place by a nose, with Hurrigal running third, a similar margin before Last Rose. Sweet Donna was just a nose back of Last Rose as the others in the field of eight finished far back. Scoring her second victory of the meeting and her third of the year, Mrs. R. J. Murphys Royal Broom turned back eleven other sprinting platers over the six furlongs of the second race. With J. W. Frye at the reins, the gray Murphy mare took the lead approaching the turn and held her rivals safe the rest of the way. Sweeping Wind was getting to her near the end, but Frye managed to hold Royal Broom together long enough to score by a head. In finishing second, Sweeping Wind was a length in front of Sky Cloud, as Valdina finished fourth, a head farther back. HONORED MISS REGISTERS. Honored Miss, owned by F. Robertson, was the winner of the third, another six furlongs sprint, which engaged a capacity field of twelve. Trained by W. J. Curran and guided by Henry Hauer, the daughter of Carlaris was a factor from the beginning and when put to a drive in the stretch responded gamely. The Robertson mare wore down the pacemaking Rhett inside the last eighth and then had enough left to withstand the charge of the strongly supported Pay Check to score by a length. Beau Thor finished another length back in third place and then came the tiring Rhett. The fourth race was contested over seven furlongs, and it resulted in an easy victory for Jacobsen and Houghs Little Tramp, the favorite. Busy Lutrecia had the most early speed and showed the way to the stretch | but then she tired, and Little Tramp, which had never been far back, sprinted on to vie-tory by two lengths. Ernest Hanke was astride the Jacobsen-Hough representative. Busy Lutrecia gave way badly in the final I quarter and was in fifth position as she crossed the line of finish. Second honors went to Labor Day, third to Colonel Ed, and fourth to Princess Torch. Lady Thirteen, trying for her third victory of the meeting, was within striking distance of the leaders to the last quarter and then bore out to eliminate herself.
