Also Puts On Stretch Charge to Turn Back Hy-Cop in Fourth Event CRETE, 111., May 21. Heartman, a four-year-old son of Ladysman who won six races last year, began his Chicago campaign with a victory in the Jackson Park Purse, a sprint of seven furlongs which topped an attractive program at Lincoln Fields this afternoon. The little brown gelding, who races under the silks of the local turf man, Jake Lowen-stein, closed with .a splendid display of speed to win going away by two lengths as John Marschs Bulldinger took second honors from C. H. Durschs Relious. Eight took, part in the Jackson Park Purse, with Jean Putnams Polymelior leading the others past the judges. Heartman, ridden by Wilbur Borton, was never a great distance back, but he had to race wide all the way. He was steadied along to the home stretch and then moved up resolutely when Borton called upon him. The Lowen-stein horse reached second place behind Bulldinger before reaching the eighth pole, and a short distance farther on assumed command, drawing out to score with something to spare. Mrs. Monte Weils Art of War finished in front for the sixth time this year in winning the sixth race, a run of a mile and a sixteenth that attracted a field of eight distance runners. The son of Gallant Sir assumed command approaching the far turn and held his rivals safe the rest of the way. He was ridden by Steve Brooks. Aldridge was second" to complete the distance and Panorascope third. Oust Thrills His Backers Holders of 9 worth of straight tickets on Oust got a big thrill when he got to the front near the end of the mile and a sixteenth of the first race, for he would have paid 97.80 for , but he was finally beaten a head by Here Now. As it was, Oust paid 15.60 for to place. Here Now, owned by John Greener and ridden by Harold Beasy, was held at odds of a little more than 3 to 1. Sign, the favorite, was third to them. The second race, a dash of five furlongs, went to Wm. Mikels Gabe, handled by Harry Schuling, while the third, a six-furlong sprint for maiden three-year-olds, was won by J. D. Weils Avachance. The latters stablemate, Haichow, ran third. Grand Rush divided the two members of the entry. Powerhouse, who received some support in the third event, threw out his left stifle at the start and, of course, pulled himself up.

Billy Pearson was astride the five-year-old who made up many lengths to beat, in order, Hy-Cop, Votum, Joan T., Uncle Mose and Dora May. Bulldinger, winner of his last engagement at Churchill Downs, stole a long lead in the early furlongs of the feature and still was four lengths in front turning intb the home stretch. He held on fairly well the rest of the way and, though unable to withstand the winner, was good enough to beat Relious a little more than a length for the place. The latter came from last place in the final quarter to earn his share of the purse a narrow margin before Poly-melior. French Horn was in hottest pursuit of the pace to the head of the home stretch and then began to weaken, dropping out of the picture completely near the end. Heartman, who was made a 6 to 5 chance for todays race, was making his second start of the- year. He made his first at Churchill Downs. Later he may be found competing with some of the better handicap horses who will be campaigning on the Chicago circuit this summer.
