Hypostyle Seeking Repeat Win Today Mikel Homebred Vies With Phantom Sea, Five Others In Sportsmans Main Event SPORTSMANS PARK, Cicero, 111., May 9. — Racing secretary Robert McAuliffe has I drawn up one of the best programs of the meeting at this track tomorrow. Not only are nine events billed, but on the program I . are four events at the popular mile and I one-sixteenth distance and an allowance l | contest named the Red Flame, which will 1 ] be featured. Topnotchers at this course ■ , will meet in the Red Flame with the field I headed by the champion Illinois-bred sprinter, Hypostyle, from the stable of Mrs. ■ Nellie Mikel, of Carlock, 111. Hypostyle has ! made two appearances here and registered a victory and a second. Hypostyles last race was simply a breeze, . he winning by four lengths. In his pre- [ . vious race he was beaten by Boo Boo Shoo 1 * in the Inaugural Handicap but finished in i [ front of Lucky Codine, who is regarded as [ one of the most solid racers on the i grounds. The horse that may force Hypo- ■ style to set a fast pace is Phantom Sea, who was winner of five straight races before he bowed to False, Illustrate, and j Lucky Codine in the Chicago Handicap last i ; Saturday. He was beaten but three heads i after having shown the way from the start. Phantom Sea Topweighted at 120 Phantom Sea is listed as one of the top- J weights in the Red Flame with 120 pounds. J Because he will enjoy the apprentice al- 1 lowance, Hypostyle gets in with 115. II- j lustrate, second to False in the Chicago, . will have 120. Others in the field are Richavoo, third to Ballydam, and Rose Bed, last time out: J . Belcon, a highly regarded maiden; Market Tip, the lightweight of the race who was j • unplaced in the May Day Purse in his only ! : start; Ida C, also out of the money in her , last try, and Beau Cadet. j The best of the distance races is the , Blue Warbler with Son Charlie, who took | a tumble on the second turn of his Monday race, one of the potential starters. Among others are First Tenet and Fu- j turesque, winners last time out; Roadrun-ner, recently arrived from Florida; Yard-town, Steeple Jack, and Fletter. The Chicago Boys Club will benefit from Wednesdays extra race at Sportsmans ! Park following the policy of the National , Jockey Club of awarding the net proceeds of a race each week to some worthy cause. ! Mrs. Charles Kittle, a representative of the i committee of the Boys Club, will be pres-eat to accept the check.
