H. Cleary. Both contests were decided at six furlongs on a good track, Detectors time being 1:13% and Jayfcees 1:13. In racing to his triumph, Detector, a son of the 1925 Chicago Derby winner, Caractus, took the lead soon after the start and, after the opening quarter, led by a wide margin. He was handled by Irving Anderson, who sent him across the line of finish five lengths in front, Sports Writer finishing second, and Broken Pieces, third. =4 = 8 Broken Broken Pieces Pieces raced raced in in closest closest pur- Broken Broken Pieces Pieces raced raced in in closest closest pur- pursuit of the Riedinger racer for a half-mile, and then Sports Writer, saving ground as he entered the stretch, took up the futile chase. Although unable to menace the winner, which was installed the favorite, Sports Writer took down second honors, two and a half lengths before Broken Pieces. Slavic was just a head farther back in fourth place at the end. SCORES IN EASY FASIUON. Jayfcee, handled by apprentice Ernest Hanke, also won in easy fashion, but his margin was only three lengths. Like Detector, the Cleary four-year-old, making his first start since last August, assumed command soon after the start and showed the way to the end. Stay Out and then King Cotton challenged the pacemaker in the first half mile, and when they tired Risenfly moved into second position, where she remained to the end. Chi was the favorite here, but after breaking well, stumbled and dropped far back. After reaching the final quarter, he moved up boldly and, in finishing third, was just a length off Risenfly as he crossed the line of finish. King Cotton wound up fourth, while Stay Out, through after her display of early speed, finished last. Todays racing at Lincoln Fields, presented under cloudy skies, was given over to less fashionable horses, but for the most part the winners came from among well-supported thoroughbreds. The crowd was the largest of the week. SKY CLOUD ALL THE WAY. Quick to take command under the alert Ernest Hanke, James Emerys Sky Cloud ! made every post a winning one in the first i race. The contest was at six furlongs, and j the well supported son of Iron Crown com- I pleted the distance with an advantage of three lengths, as Silver Braid ran second, Fair So, third, and Star Bess, fourth.

Sky Clouds victory was his third of the year, but his first in four starts at this meeting. Louis B. Mayers Arline, a 16 to 1 chance in the betting, upset a band of maiden two- year-olds, to account for the five furlongs, second race. With George South at the reins, this daughter of Chicle and Panette began to improve her position after about a quarter mile, came to the outside for the drive and was up near the end to score by a length. She was making good after five unsuccessful efforts, to get out of the maiden ranks. Sunny Swede made all the pace, closely at- tended by Shine o Night, but gave way badly in the final furlong, to drop out of contention. When Sunny Swede had enough, Shine o Night assumed command but lost out in the last twenty yards. Hazel Lee was a dis- tant third, with Fetchet next in the field of ten. BY SAFE MARGIN. Merry Pete, owned by C. A. ONeil, Jr., was another to take an early lead, and never give it up. He opposed eight others from the lower claiming bracket at six furlongs in the third race, and completed the distance with an advantage over the runner-up of three lengths. He was ridden by Harold Beasy, and paid 9.20 for in the mutuels. Ada W. moved into second place after reaching the stretch, but that was the best she could do, accounting for her share of the purse two and a half lengths before Sweeping Wind. Frozen Mask, who came in for staunch support in the betting, saved ground all the way, but could not seriously threaten, finishing fourth. The colors of J. Binstock were carried to a popular victory in the fourth race by Isolene, which was disqualified after finish-j ing in front here a few days ago. The daugh-j ter- of Ormont followed Gray Ethels pace for about three-eighths and then when called upon by Charles Kurtsinger she took the lead herself. Although swerving badly after taking a sizeable advantage in the stretch, she won easily by two and one-half lengths, Kurtsinger easing her at the end. Cara-, cole moved up in the final quarter to take second money, with Gray Ethel running third. Onyourway was best of the others in the field of eight.
