Alsabs Alsabs Day Day Visits Visits Winners Winners Circle; Circle; Powder Powder Puff Puff Stakes Stakes Lures Lures Twelve Twelve Leads Miss Stone In Lincoln Event Sabath Filly Registers by Length in Fast-Run Race; Clang Purse to Volcanic WASHINGTON PARK, Homewood, 111., June 7. — Mrs. Albert Sabaths strapping filly, Alsabs Day, provided one of the highlights of the current meeting when she returned to her best form to account for the Anita Peabody Purse before a crowd of 8,960 here this afternoon. With Logan Batcheller in the saddle, the daughter of Alsab — Seventh Day came bounding down to the line a length in front and raced the six furlongs over this windswept course in 1:10%. In second place and putting up her usual fine effort was Miss Stone, owned by R. R. Thomas and D. Howell, while Mrs. F. P. Letelliers Chall Amaze was third. Alsabs Day was making her second start since she was seriously injured in a race during the winter in Florida. Recently she was sent to Detroit to fill a stakes engagement, but lacked her former speed and was badly beaten. Her opposition in the Anita Peabody was not as formidable as it will be in the future, but the manner in which she performed and the time recorded left no doubt as to her present condition. Her next engagement will be in the Princess Doreen at Arlington Park. Breaks Unusually Fast Alsabs Day broke with unusual quickness today, but dropped back slightly thereafter and Jetrose, always a fast breaker, swept into the lead. Sister Cora pressed the pace for a time and when Miss Stone loomed menacingly, Jetrose, tiring, made a wide sweep of the turn. This put Miss Stone in the lead, but directly in back of her was Alsabs Day, who had made up much ground along the rail. Batcheller could have driven through on the inside but rather than risk being shut off, steered out and at the eighth pole he was head and head with Miss Stone, who proved herself game to the core. However, in the ensuing battle, superior class told the tale and the Sabath pride drew away without need of pressure. Had she been punished, Alsabs Day probably would have bettered the time recorded. The first quarter was run in :22% and the half in :45%. The Walmac Farms Volcanic, a colt who forced Citation to a hard race in the American Derby last year, scored a nice victory in the Clang, which shared the spotlight with the Anita Peabody. It was his initial start of the year and he attested to his fine condition by withstanding late charges of Clevelander and Bullish. The handsome son of Ambrose Light — Hot Supper raced i Continued on Page Three Alsabs Day Hits Best Stride in Anita Peabody Speeds Six Furlongs in 1 AOYs To Qualify for Princess Doreen Continued from Page One the six furlongs in 1:10% and carried 119 pounds, most of "which was the veteran reinsman, Mel Peterson. Dark Tiny, a three-year-old maiden, bested the ordinary sprinters that competed in the opener. With Larry Grubb playing a waiting game during the early part, the filly unleashed a powerful run in the final eighth and at the finish was a couple of lengths clear and going away. H. D. Maggios Balla Flight, who forged into the lead on the turn, appeared all over the victor until the winner made her charge. Completing the Daily Double of 03.00 was William H. Bishops Willis E., a gelding, who was up with the pace throughout and in a long, hard stretch drive out-gamed Joyce W. for the top end. Kenesaw Farms Little Aud proved a big surprise in the third, returning 8.20 to his supporters. He battled his way to a half-length triumph over Triad Farms Better Buy, while H. Kennedys Fosters Pride was third. Favorite players suffered a blow in this dash when Bonrilla stopped suddenly after holding an early advantage. Through the stretch, Skoronski pulled him up entirely when it was apparent that he was in a lamed condition. H. D. Maggios Patmiboy was dropped into a ,500 claimer in the fourth and managed to score by a nose over Monfalon. Patmiboy was unable to keep up with the early pace and dropped back slightly, although not hard pressed. Don Scurlock waited until nearing the top of the stretch before going to a drive and the response was excellent. The gelding wrested command at the 70-yard pole but was hard put to withstand Monfalons closing rush.
