t . ; South Dakota Goes In Randall Sprint Smitha Campaigner Carries Top Impost of 122 Pounds in Cuyahoga Handicap Today RANDALL PARK, North Randall, Ohio. May 16. — Sport fans of the Cleveland sector and surrounding area will have the opportunity here tomorrow to see in action for the first time locally this year the vaunted South Dakota. The gray son of Omaha, who performs for Lexingtonian Al Smitha, is the highweighted one, at 122 pounds, in the field of seven scheduled to contest in the featured Cuyahoga Handicap, a run of one mile and 70 yards and prized at ,000. Others entered are J. O. Harts Angle Bar, 118 pounds; Irene Browns Chorus, 116; Carroll and Pricketts Bar Rock, 114; J. C. Tabers Jerokey, 113; Mrs. A. Broneros Four Feathers, 110, and G. Dupays Hard Facts, 108 pounds. Off past performances here and elsewhere, South Dakota looms as the favorite in spite of the fact that he has yet to triumph this season. In the past though, the hard-hitting five-year-old has distinguished himself wherever he raced. As a three-year-old at Cincinnatis River Downs oval he set a worlds record of 1 :40 for one mile and 70 yards, the exact distance of the main event here tomorrow. In addition, the" Smitha representative has established track records here and at Beulah Park. Angle Bar Principal Rival In all probability, South Dakotas main threat to success might be the Hart color -bearer, Angle Bar. This gelding is a hardhitting type himself and has so far this year garnered laurels on three different occasions. Among others named is a development of the Phoenix, Ariz., meeting, and this is Irene Browns Chorus, a converted jumper purchased for a small sum and who has proven a bargain. He has trimmed opponents in five out of eight essays during the past few months and is reported fit and ready. He might very well provide an upset. Supporting the principal offering are seven other races that should supply keen interest to the wagering inclined. In the first, a six-furlong spin for four-year-olds and older, a group of 11 will meet. In all likelihood consideration will be given such as Slight Edge, Early Delivery, De Latour and perhaps Fancy Face. Remaining entrants are Valdina Kovia, Lenas Boy, Grand Gay. Prince Sang. Chancy, Wise Slave and Little Sandy.
