Alice Sherrill in Quest Of Repeat at Downs Several Other Recent Winners In Races on Todays Program CHURCHILL DOWNS, Louisville, Ky., May 14.— The My Play Pure features an ordinary although well subscribed program for presentation here tomorrow over a track that probably will be classified as good," with continued favorable weather. A four-year-old and upward allowance affair set at a distance of one mile and a furlong and scheduled as the sixth race, eight routers are entered to contest the principal offering. E. B. McAtee has entered a useful contestant in the mare, Alice Sherrill, who was a driving winner here over a similar classy field the early part of the meeting.

The Petrose, one mile and a sixteenth seventh race, discloses a more clearly cut field of seven which have accepted the allowance conditions, C. M. Browns Ja-merica and L. D. Rosenthals Paducah each having scored ridiculously easy wins their last outings. Paducah sprinted into command immediately on Tuesday and possessed an advantage of 15 lengths over his pursuers at the end of the muddy one mile and a sixteenth. Tomorrow he will carry 117 pounds against that of 120 for Ja-merica, who last week won almost as impressively over a racing strip designated as "good." Mrs. Lottie Wolfs Alpine King and Mrs. J. L. Blues The Minter both have won lately,
