C. and and Tuned Tuned Up Up t Seen Principal Rivals of Bishop Charge in Sprint SPORTSMANS PARK, Cicero, HI., May 1.— Lesser lights of the local thoroughbred colony predominate on tomorrows program at this well appointed half-mile plant as the more formidable allowance and handicap charges remain inactive awaiting the more lucrative features to be presented later in the week. However, what the card may lack in name horses it will more than compensate tor by the evenly matched groups, which will parade postward on the eight-race card. The Blue Larkspur Purse, seven-furlong dash designed for four-year-old and upward members of the higher claiming category, will serve as the feature on the program. Seven well-regarded sprinters have been named to contest the issue which should result in a spirited duel. Under the claiming conditions, William Hal Bishops consistent five-year-old Richavoo will be asked to answer the bugle under a 120-pound impost or three pounds more than that allocated to Miss Lydia Webers Tuned Up. Others named are J. W. Sniders Blue Agent, Marion H. VanBergs Riot, Duke Pailefs Hilds Liberty, John B. Becks Garrett C, and Mrs. E. D. Ewart, Sr.s Halcyon Duke.

The latter presentation at five furlongs was not to his liking and Richavoo should be further benfited by the added distance of the encounter. Richavoo will again be ridden by jockey Harold Keene and in all probability will command the major portion of the mutuel wagering.

Tuned Up recently arrived from Keeneland where he competed against reputable foes, and previous to that was campaigned at the Fair Grounds in New Orleans. It is highly probable that the Weber charge will need one or more races to become acclimated to this four-furlong oval. The remaining candidates for the Blue Larkspur with the exception of Hilds Liberty, made their initial outing here during the first week of the present meeting, but failed to run to their past good efforts. Hilds Liberty was recently transferred here from Lincoln Downs.
