Johns Joy won that event by two lengths from Roman Bath. Prior to that the Hasty House star had trimmed the Kinard racer with ease in two meetings at the Lincoln Fields session. Inseparable, after winning his first start at Churchill, started out the Chicago season in a rather wobbly manner when he wa,s beaten by Mister Morgan, although awarded the purse on claim of foul. He j was latei further humiliated when trimmea by Kosadus and Mr. Fox in the Lincoln Handicap. He drops three pounds from his Lincoln race tomorrow.

Two years ago he amassed earnings of over 00,000 Last season he earned about 0,000. Danada Gift, a six-year-old mare, is the lightest weighted, having 104 pounds. She performed creditably against those of her own sex at Belmont Park. Mister Morgan, who will have 106 pounds up, has as his chief claim to fame his nod over Inseparable at Lincoln, although he was set back. In a later race he did not fare so well. Curandero, who will carry 114 pounds, closed considerable ground in the Myrtle-wood. That was his first start of the year. Cutty Hunk, starting for the first time in many months during the closing days at Lincoln Fields, won the Black Toney Purse from a band that included Mister Morgan He will have 106 pounds aboard. Jockey Ken Church, stable rider for Hasty House, was named to pilot Roman Bath, while Bob Baird was placed on Inseparable, and Logan Batcheller on Seaward. Johnny Adams will be up on Johns Joy, and Eddie Arcaro is expected to come from New York to ride Miche. Other reinsmen engaged are Doug Dod-son, on Volcanic; Job Jessop, on Prop, and G. Silva, on Mister Morgan. Danada Gift will be in No. 1 post position, but as the field starts from the long mile chute and goes a half mile before reaching the first bend, the stall positions do not mean so much. Mister Morgan, a horse who has shown a tendency to lug in, will start from the outside stall. Jockeys Church and Baird each have a chance to duplicate the feat of jockey F. A. Smith in winning two runnings of the Equipoise. Church won it last season with Oil Capitol, only three-year-old ever to be successful. Harry Trotsek, the Hasty House trainer, saddled Oil Capitol for that victory. The racing strip was muddy for tqdays racing and will likely be slow tomorrow if additional rain does not fall. Roman Bath, Johns Joy, Danada Gift, and Prop are regarded as the best mudders in the field. Post time for Saturday will be 1:30 p. m. and nine races will be staged.
