Baroque Comes Through With Splendid Effort to Take Suffolk Feature Event Crosses Final Marker Three Lengths Ahead of Billy O. With Dinner Party Third EAST BOSTON, Mass., June 26. Finding the heavy track at Suffolk Downs much to his liking, Max Marmorsteins Baroque, who was backed into favoritism by a crowd of 12,344, accounted for the fetured Peabody Purse, run over the mile and a sixteenth distance. Smartly handled by the veteran Gigi Moore, the winner, a four-year-old son of Reigh Count and Crazy Jane, reached the end of the journey three lengths before Mrs. R. M. Buccolas Billy O., who held a similar advantage over White Star Farms Dinner Party. H. Hessey Millers Incoming finished fourth and. Walter Gullatts First Draft was fifth while Mrs. W. R. Flem-mings Loveday was last. Taking up 120 pounds, Baroque raced the distance over the difficult track in 1:48, a commendable effort. Favored in the speculation, he paid .60 in the "tote" after chalking up his fourth victory of the year. Jockey Archibald Daniels, who had the mount of Billy O., made a claim of foul against the winner after the running but the stewards refused to sustain the charge. Daniels kept Billy O. on the outside of Baroque during the entire trip and lost considerable ground but Baroque did not touch Billy O., at any stage and the latter might have been closer up had Daniels elected to take the Buccola horse to the inside. Moore sent Baroque to the front before the field reached the clubhouse turn and taking the Marmorstein colt to the middle of the track, kept his charge in the lead throughout. Baroque had something left at the wire and Billy O. held on determinedly enough to easily save the place award. Dinner Party ran evenly to be third and Incoming had no mishaps. First Draft and Loveday never were serious contenders and both were beaten soundly. H. H. Polks Dream Parade scored a driving two lengths victory under the guidance of Hubert Trent in the six furlongs Griffin Wharf Purse. Dream Parade disposed of Diego Red after three furlongs, and, although he drifted out badly on the stretch turn, came stoutly enough to best Nicholas Glicks Yes or No, who saved the plage award by three-quarters of a length over E. J. Dailys Johnny Jr., in the field 6f five starters. i
