Seventeen Seventeen Named Named for for Clang Clang Handicap; Handicap; Milkwagonjoe Milkwagonjoe Gives Gives Schlosser Schlosser Double Double Beats Cosmic Bomb At Arlington Park Son of Chicstraw Makes All Of Pace in Tred Avon Purse; Wallflower Scores With Ease , ARLINGTON PARK, Arlington Heights, 111., June 18. Although his odd name i tends to leave turfites in a puzzled state, Louis Schlossers Milkwagonjoe once again l showed that he is quite capable of overcoming his strange and unfitting moniker, when he scored a smart victory over a small field of five promising two-year-olds in the Tred Avon Purse, a five and one half furlong dash that shared the spotlight ; with the Paicines Purse here this afternoon. The victory of Milkwagonjoe completed a double for the Chicago-owned stable of : Louis Schlosser as he sent out Sly Tigress for her graduation effort in the Tryster Purse, third event on the card. Miserable conditions held the crowd : down to slightly more than 7,500 turfites. The track was -a sea of slop during the early races, but the steady rain penetrated the cushion of the strip and during the last part of the program the competitors found the footing holding and muddy. Third Straight Success Milkwagonjoe, a chestnut son of Chic-straw-Gallerne, who was a stakes winner during the Florida season and who was registering his third consecutive triumph in four starts, was slightly overlooked by the form players who banked their hopes on W. G. Helis Cosmic Bomb, a good winner at Belmont Park. The latter, however, was no match for "Joe" but he proved much the best of the others. At the line he was two lengths off the lead, while Mrs. Louise Donovans Patmiboy was a tiring third another pair of lengths away. With Bobby Campbell exercising good judgment in the saddle, Milkwagonjoe plodded over the distance in 1:07 in his front-running victory. Miss Mood shoved her head to the fore for an instant after starter Roy Dickerson Continued on Page Four Milkwagonjoe Completes Double for L Schlosser Never Headed at Arlington Park While Cosmic Bomb Takes Place Continued from Page One sprang the latch that sent the field away, but in a flash the winner moved up and took over, while Patmiboy passed Miss Mood to force the pace. The latter made several attempts to wrest the lead, but found his task too much. Cosmic Bomb, slow to settle into stride, cut the corner at the top of the stretch at a great saving of ground, and sensing this move, Campbell went to a strong . drive to assue victory for the oddly-named one. The Walmac Farms Wallflower did all the dancing in the Paicines Purse when she spread-eagled her field of female rivals by ten lengths to bring cheer to the favorite players. The shifty daughter of Sir Gal- lahad m. Pair Dancer led every step of the seven furlongs journey for her hollow score, while Thomas Piatts Come and Go, who furnished the only signs of contention, held on well enough to beat Mrs. Louise Donovans Breezy Louise. Al Bodiou sat still most of the way while Wallflower stepped the seven furlongs in 1:26. Going down the back lane, Come and Go moved up nicely but once she neared Wallflowers flank her bid for victory ended, for the latter easily pulled away. The stewards served warning that they will not tolerate any rough stuff during the meeting when they hauled down the numbers in the opening race and switched M. Wexlers Musical Lady from second to third place for interfering with E. Asburys In Bloom, the warm paddock tip who was backed feverishly down to favoritism at post time. In the official placing, P. Spell-mans Chance Bea was posted as the winner, In Bloom second and Musical Lady third. Musical Lady breezed out into a wide lead soon after the start and Chance Bea was dropped into the second slot until R. L. Vedder decided to call on the black filly at the head of the stretch. She responded nicely, and catching Musical Lady tiring, she swept into the lead and was drawing away at the finish. Musical Lady failed to keep a straight course after being displaced and forced the favorite to take up. The latter, a full sister to the stakes winner, is by Blue Larkspur Gala Belle, by Sir Gallahad TH., and it was on the strength of this fancy breeding that the crowd backed her with such confidence in her first start. Louis Schlossers Sly Tigress, a three-year-old filly who displayed tremendous early speed before she tired in her racing bow at Hawthorne, found the sloppy track to her liking in the third number, and zipping to the fore soon after the break, she splashed "soup" into the eyes of all challengers as she scored with ridiculous ease. Leo Gerngross Kilgobbin came with a fine rush through the late stages, and while no match for the winner, finished well in front of H. G. Shoemakers Cee Style. R. Campbell rode the winner, a three-year-old daughter of Tiger Sly Glance, and the combination moved over the six furlongs in 1:14.
