Creechs Kosadus, winner of the Inaugural Handicap at this track, opened and closed the meeting with feature race successes when he won the Lincoln Handicap here this afternoon. Trainer Harry Trotsek started the favored entry of Seaward and Inseparable for the Hasty House Farm, but the winner, who was claimed from the Trotsek-trained barn last year, came through in brilliant fashion to turn the tables. In fact, the best the odds-on entry could do was finish third, second place going to Mrs. M. McCabes Mr. Fox. Kosadus was ridden with fine judgment by Job Dean Jessop, who was steering his second Winner of the afternoon. Kosadus, an outsider, paid 3.80 and ran the mile and a quarter distance in 2:03%. Seaward Stumbles at Start Inseparable and Seaward were quoted at 3-5 onThe odds board as the field, went to the post for the closing days stellar piece, and many in the crowd were arguing which of the pair would be the winner. .Seaward, however, lost whatever advantage he might have gained by drawing number one post position, in stumbling at the start, while Church, on Inseparable, seemed to underestimate Mr. Fox, who went out to make the pace. Inseparable was under light wraps in the early running, while Mr. Fox was winging merrily aong and when he got ready to move after leaving the back-stretch it seemed as if he was home free. The stretch duel proved ttf be a bitter one. The backers of the entry cheered by Inseparable good run, were heartened when he was within striking distance of Continued on Page Forty-Three Kosadus Outruns Mr. Fox To Win Lincoln Handicap Continued from Page One Mr. Fox three-sixteenths from home, but it became apparent the latter would be a tough nut to crack. Mr. Fox clung to the.rail and responded with courage when challenged by Inseparable and at the eighth pole it appeared as if a bitter battle between the pair was in the making. Kosadus, however, obliterated that possibility by charging on the outsidein the last sixteenth and winning under pressure by over a half length. Sabaean, wMo won his first five races of his career early this year, but has yet to score since that time, became a mild factor during the backstretch run but was finished when he was unable to get through on the inside nearing the far turn. Dr. Ole Nelson, the second choice, was never a contender, while Owens Cuts, the Irishman, was a trailer throughout. An enthusiastic crowd of 16,990 turned out- to witness the final program of the Lincoln Fields-at-Washington Park meeting. Partly clouded skies but otherwise ideal conditions were the order of the day. The racing strip proper remained lightning fast. Mrs. Ethel Galliger Bandys Brilliance carried the colors of her owner to an im pressive score in the sixth dash. Unhurried when outrun during the early part of the sprint, the four-year-old daughter of _y Jimminy uncorked a convincing stretch rally to reach the wire one and three-quarters lengths before J. F, Smith and Dan Howells Montayr. In third position three parts of a length in the wake of the runner-up came Mrs. Grace Doritys Mist ODawn.

Following the mishap the remaining 11 members of the field were sent on their way without undue delay. That Aint Hay, ridden *by E. J. Knapp, was returned the victress of the seven-furlong dash. Persiana, from the Woolford Farm, held on willingly enough to annex the place honors from Sauganash Stables Shattered. That Aint Hay was timed in 1:25 and paid .80 straight. Phantom Heels closed determinedly to take down the winners share of the second dash and completed a Daily Double with That Aint Hay valued at 3.60. Ralph Bohns Bolo Howie was along in time to outgame Shady Brook Farms Merriest for the runner-up position.
