11 ■" Whose Out to Repeat at Hawthorne Bobs Dream Has ■ Top Impost of 118 Central Park Purse Brings Out Sand Storm, Topnard, Lost and Found for Sprint HAWTHORNE, Cicero, 111., June 10.— / A capacity field of 12 well-known sprinters e who have raced frequently during the current meeting will battle it out over the popular six and one-half furlongs distance . in the Central Park Purse, a dash for four-year-olds 5 and upward, which appears to t be the most attractive on tomorrows well-filled f program. . Racing secretary Larry Bogenscutz has found that this type of race always fills well with first class performers, and the Central Park ran true to form. No less * than 16 sprinters responded to the call, but the I necessary scratches will bring the field down to 12 before post time. Of those assured of a chance to run is ] Mrs. Karl Mayers Whose, a gelding who 1 has shown excellent form in both of his i races at this meeting. In his first start, which marked his return to action since ] last fall, the six-year-old gelded son of Questionnaire — Plaid, by Wrack, turned in i a splendid second to the very fast filly, Wallflower. That race put him in razor ; sharp form, which he revealed by a breezing I easy victory over Diderod, Leavenworth, i Chesty, and others in his following start. He is a bear for consistency, having won eight of his 24 races last year. The gelding will be coupled in the wagering with American I Eagle, a five-year-old who showed i considerable improvement in his most recent i performance. The pair probably will | be top heavy choice in the wagering. Good Effort Behind Daily Trouble Mrs. Phil Leons Sand Storm is a shifty mare who may have a lot to say in determining the winner, for she, too, is in first class shape and has been running in a manner which points to a first rate effort against the type of horses she meets tomorrow. A repetition of her performance against Daily Trouble, one of the smartest sprinters on the grounds, and Sigma Kappa, another capable speedster, would make her the strongest possible contender. Daily Trouble ran the distance that afternoon in 1:18%, which was one of the fastest-run races over the same distance scheduled for tomorrow of the meeting, and Sand Storm, who finished third, was only five lengths i off the leader at the finish. She failed to show her usual perform-, ance against Santa Claus and others in a ; previous outing, but that day she was last i out of the gate in a 12-horse field and had i little chance to settle in her best stride. I In her initial outing of the meeting she , turned in a splendid effort to beat Chesty, i Free Speech, and Take Wing. ; While Whose and Sand Storm probably I will get most of the play, there are several s others in the test with better than outside ; chances, according to close observers here. ■ L. D. Rosenthals Lost and Found, who cut ; out a fast pace in a middle distance race against Quizzle, Sugar Chest, and Mighty I Lucky the other day, will return to Sprint-, ing in this event and may offer a good deal of opposition. He was a good winner at - Sportsmans Park. Others in the field are i Fire Dust, Nancy Fly, Little Milly, Top-3 nard, Leos Brandy, Frisky Spirit, Chance - Taker, Bobs Dream, Final Glory, Diderod, B Tawny Lady, and Conference.
