Skytracer Skytracer Blue Blue Grass Grass Stakes Stakes Winner; Winner; Calumet Calumet Sends Sends Forth Forth Trio Trio in in Gittinqs Gittinqs Sun Again Carries 124-Pound Impost To Race With Son of Peace, Mar-Kell Against Tola Rose And Three Others at Pimlico BALTIMORE. Md., April 26.— Last fall Warren Wrights Calumet Farm representatives dominated the racing at Pimlico, capturing most of the important stakes and leading all other establishments in monetary earnings. And, judging by the manner in which the Chicagoans color-bearers are performing this spring, then is every reason to believe the feat will be duplicated. Already the well-known wearers of the devil red and blue have earned in excess of 5,000 while winning seven races, including the Rowe Memorial and Southern Maryland Handicap. A third such laurel may be added with tomorrows renewal of the ,500 Gittings Handicap at a mile and one-sixteenth and for which Calumet relies on a three-way entry of topweighted Sun Again, slated to tote 124 pounds, Son of Peace, 118 pounds, and Mar-Kell, unposted with 114 pounds. Mar-, shalled against this imposing trio is Arthur J. Sacketts Tola Rose, 109 pounds: Ma Marmorsteins Chaldon Heath. 102: Green-tree Stables Famous Victory, 101. and W. Pinkney Wetheralls Lord Calvert. 100 pounds. Fresh From Southern Maryland Score In view of apparent readiness of Calumet horses there is hardly any plausible reason to go against the entry in tomorrows main attraction. Sun Again alond looms capable enough to enjoy favoritism over rivals. He garner?d the major shareof Saturdays Southern Maryland Handicap in a fashion indicative of top form while carrying 120 pounds and on that occasion whipped Four Freedoms, who beat him in the Widener last winter and who it was expected would furnish strong contention, was, oddly enough, no match for the son of Sun Teddy — Hug Again. That fact and the evident fitness of the five-year-old dispels I any doubt as to his ability to pick up four pounds and register another triumph. 1 Naturally, racing being a problematic venture, an upset could occur. Or. for that matter, one or the other of the Calumet . entrants might be successful. Mar-Kell. as none will doubt, is herself quite a proficient entertainer and on occasion so is Son of I Peace. Then, for the opposition there is , Tola Rose. This son of Head Play has a lot of early speed, as he demonstrated in | taking the Bowie Handicap. Consequently | his expected front-running attempt could very well result in a second stake score. ! Chaldon Heath was a beaten favorite in a sprint Saturday; Lord Calvert won yesterday going a mile and one-sixteenth, but really did not beat very much, and Famous | Victory surely showed nothing while finishing third in the Bowie. j ! j ! i i
