SAFEANDSOUND , ._ NECK WINNER AT LINCOLN FIELDS ■ ■■■■ A A. Carries Alfred Robertson to His Second Victory of Afternoon » Young and Rogers Campaigner Limps Back to Stand After Triumph— "Daily Double" Pays 10.60— Sherry B., Sally T. and Goshen Earn Brackets » CRETE, 111., June 20.— Safe and Sound, the hard-running color-bearer of the Louisville partnership of Young and Rogers, ran his best race of the year, to account for the Washington Boulevard Purse, a seven-furlong sprint which served as todays feature at Lincoln Fields. Carrying Alfred Robertson to his second victory of the dav, Safe and Sound the favorite of the field of seven, charged down on the outside to win by a neck, and attesting to his gameness, was the manner in which he favored his left foreleg, obviously hurting him as he returned to the unsaddling circle. Closest to the Young and Rogers gelding was J. E. Wideners Buck-mg, jag, as as Clyde nyae Troutts rroutt s Rough Kough Diamoi Diamond nd finished finished third, third, and and Ruth Ruth Sidells Sidells nd finished finished third, third, and and Ruth Ruth Sidells Sidells fHope Diamond was fourth. Safe j and Sound was close up from the j j | beginning, and while racing wide in the early furlongs, was well in hand. After straightening out for the run through j the stretch, Robertson subjected his mount to punishment, and he responded gamely, to get up near the end for his popular triumph. Buttermilk flattered her supporters by s showing the way to the final quarter, and t then she began to falter, Bucking moving i up to enjoy ; brief lead. The latter battled c on doggedly to the end, but could not quite I stall off Safe and Sound. The Widener t four-year-old, however, was good enough to t take second honors, a length and a half t before Rough Diamond, which, incidentally, 1 lost ground entering the stretch. SAVES MUCH GROUND. Hope Diamond, which was a trailer for ! r more than half the distance, saved ground ! e entering the stretch and, closing well, was ! c only beaten a half-length for third money. I Safe and Sound, performing on a slow I track, t ran the seven furlongs in l:27-5 and i I paid .80 for in the wagering. The winner was saddled by S. Bryant Ott Although skies were overcast much of to- ; d day, the weather was warm, and a good-sized s crowd was in attendance. i Accepting his first mount since he figured i in a fall on Saturday, jockey Irving Ander- I I s son piloted Clyde Trouts Sherry B. to an easy e victory in the first race, a sprint at six f furlongs, which engaged seven three-year- 1 c old fillies. The daughter of Jacopo showed r herself to be much the best, for she was a distant trailer the first quarter, and thereafter a literally ran over her rivals, to complete r. the distance, with three lengths to s spare. Egyptian Belle, the favorite, came if * from behind, to take the lead, midway of the stretch, s but she was no match for the winner, v. and had to be content with second r money, as Catherine F. ran third, and Roll-ingheels, ii fourth. The four-year-old, Blaufuss, got home in f front in the second race at six furlongs, to Continued on thirty-third page. = gi i vi *j ir in E ; D . , « . ! ** . j ! c ■ b ! ; « 1 1 | i , *j I , j a r j j ■ c ! ; j " j j | ! „ j j t ; . j I I 1 .

Blaufuss, guided by 7 .j George South, was well up, while Nigrette was making the pace, and when called upon the final quarter, responded gamely. The I Dale colt got to the front approaching the final furlong, and continued on under the 3 urging of South, to win by two lengths. I Nigrette, whose post antics contributed to a 1 j I ? considerable delay, had good speed from the i ! of beginning, and though readily giving way to . the winner in the stretch, held on well , I ; j is . enough to take second honors, a head before Sadie F. The favorite, Miss Pittypat showed j j . nothing to vindicate the faith placed in her. Making her second start of the year, How- - v ard Wells Sally T. graduated from the maiden ranks when she turned back nine p | other three-year-olds over seven furlongs in n i I the third race. Sally T. didnt display a * ■ great deal of early speed, but she began to ? ! j I • move up steadily after going three-eighths, 3 j and, rallying well in the stretch, reached the E j j j front in the final eighth to score. She was f ; . drawing away at the end and finally crossed j : J the line of finish four lengths before her _" | ; I nearest rival, Viragin. The latter followed in j ! : closest attendance of Red Moss pace to the ; * ! final eighth and, although the former gave J way thereafter, Viragin was no match for I j c the winner. Grecian Time ran third and * then came the faltering Red Moss. i "DAILY DOUBLE" PAYS 10.60. The "Daily Double," based on the combined 1- efforts of Blaufuss and Sally T., paid 10.60 for the investment. j ! 1 1 The fourth race, another sprint of six fur- Ft ; . ] longs, brought out a field of three-year-old ld j j , fillies, and the winner was Mrs. Milton " j Riesers Ideal Fungi, scoring her second IC* , straight triumph. The daughter of Appre-1 e" hension, made the favorite, sprinted to the e j front soon after the start and held her rivals *s ; ! : safe the rest of the way. Lovely Sister was ls j ; , closest to the winner throughout and though [s | she could not get to the winner she was ; easily best of the others, taking second place „e | j four lengths before Polly Feu. The winners r „ j ! margin was two and one-half lengths. Holi- U_ j I j day Tea was in the thick of the contest for 3r | i ; about three-eighths and then steadily gave /e j j way, finally winding up fourth in the field 1j j j of seven. j . j Another to register his second straight tri-£ * | umph was Ray Holloways Goshen, which *™ I scored in one-sided fashion over the three- e" | ; quarters of the fifth race. Favorite in the j betting, Goshen raced past the judges six ** j I ! lengths in front, as Chubbins ran second, * ! ; and Broadkiil finished third. Goshen broke j in front, but apprentice Ernest Hanke took I I him in hand to permit Chubbins to make ! the pace. After reaching the stretch, Hanke i I roused his mount, and he responded by dis- ■ j posing of Chubbins and sprinting away to . score all by himself. Chubbins tired after er being overtaken and just lasted to save the ! ; place, a half-length before Broadkiil. Motion , ! Picture was fourth.
