Dozen Three-Year-Olds In Delaware Main Event Tantamount, Low and High and Third Ace Vie at Six Furlongs DELAWARE PARK, Stanton, Del., June 15. — Three-year-olds, non-winners of two races other than maiden or claiming, are in the spotlight here tomorrow in the featured Wilmington Advertising Club Purse, a dash of six furlongs. Twelve members of the division have been entered overnight and promise to furnish interesting competition. Named overnight for the feature are the following sophomores: Alfred G. Vander-bilts Tantamount, James Cox Bradys Third Ace, Brandywine Stables Low and High, Mrs. Walter M. Jeffords* Sagittarius, Brookfield Farms Idio, Houghton P. Met-calfs Miss Whippet, Richard Carters Snowflares, Mrs. Vaughn Flannerys Can-nobie Lee, Lazy F Rranchs Ochita, Mrs. R. H. Heighes Wisenheimer, Mrs. A. Rigg, IV.s Best Blue and James C. Ellis* Last Kiss. Tantamount *aced well when third to Bravo in his last appearance, being beaten but a length. Prior to that he was a winner in New York, taking the measure of a fair field of 2,500 claimers. In his local race, Tantamount gave the impression of being in need of blinkers and possibly that equipment will be added tomorrow. Third Ace impresses as one of the speediest three-year-olds in the sector, and certainly rates serious consideration in tomorrows test. He won two consecutive races at Garden State prior to meeting defeat here. Wine List beat him on that occasion, and the Greentree colt came back to whip such as Colonel Mike and Noble Impulse. Local support is likely to go to Low and High, who sports the silks of Donald P. Ross Brandywine Stable. A non-winner in seven races this year, Low and High has turned in two commendable local efforts. He was second to Bravo at six furlongs in his debut, then finished behind Brick in a well run mile and a sixteenth. A repetition of either effort could find him in the thick of contention. Other double winners in the field are Snowflares and Cannobie Lee, each of whom has won a pair of purses this season. Cannobie Lee was fifth in her lone local appearance, but was beaten but a length in a race won by Vagrant Cloud. Snowflares raced in the event won by Wine List in 1:10%, being beaten about nine lengths.
