Crack Two-Year-Olds Vie In Youthful at Jamaica Thirteen Youngsters, Including Red Sonnet, Named for Sprint NEW YORK, N. Y., May 5.— Thirteen of the smartest juveniles who have been shown this season have been named for the renewal of the Youthful Stakes of the Metropolitan Jockey Club at Jamaica tomorrow afternoon. This is a test of five furlongs, to which ,000 is added, and it had its first running in 1903. Through the years it has attracted many of the best juveniles of their time and last year it went to Ben F. Whitakers Requested. For the renewal this afternoon, George D. Widener seems to hold the best hand with Red Sonnet, the son of Balladier and Sovietta, who established a new track mark of :58 for the five furlongs here recently. A second winning effort verified that remarkable performance, and he seems to stand out in the field. Harvest Hand, a half brother to Eight Thirty, is also named to bear Red Sonnet company, although there is nothing he has accomplished of importance. Knox Osborne promises to send out a pair in Hal Price Headleys All Hoss and Louis Lee Haggin II.s Bulls Eye. Then, a third coupling comes in the William Zieg-ler team of Stylus and Breezing Home. Bullpen, who raced well for the Coldstream Stable at Hialeah, and Mrs. Louis Lazares Joe Burger, another of the better winter performers, are also of the company, and Mrs. Alice Sherman is represented by Hoosier Woolf.
