Andys Glory Starts Today In Suffolk Main Event Faces Power Drunk, Swadelle and Hatikvah in Six-Furlong Event SUFFOLK DOWNS, East Boston, Mass., June 26. — With only four racing days left on the Suffolk Downs agenda, the quality of the programs are waning steadily. Many of the local stables have begun the exodus to Narragansett Park and Scarborough Downs with the new locations of the New England racing picture shifting come next week. Scarborough begins its 56-day meet-M ing on Saturday, while the Rhode Island I track operates a 24-day meeting beginning on Monday. The final mid-week card at this seaside oval has been given over in its entirely to members of the claiming ranks, headed by a six-furlong dash for four-year-olds and upward in the ,000 down to ,500 bracket. The event is endowed with a ,800 purse and has attracted six better-than-average sprinters. The more illustrious member of the line-up is Irving Gushens Andys Glory, who gets in the fray with 111 pounds, in- eluding a five-pound apprentice allowance in the person of Charley Burr. The sensational apprentice, who is pres- ently breathing down the neck of Ralph Borgemenke for top honors among the local riders, despite arriving here three weeks after the meeting began, did a masterful job in keeping the son of Andy K. on a comparatively straight course to win his last outing. The erratic Andys Glory has won three of his last four starts but gives his backers many anxious moments as he heads for the outer rail during the late stages of his races. Slated to meet the Gushen representa-n tive are J. H. Carrs Swadelle, Ralph Lowes Hatikvah, G. S. Gladneys Long Gone, W. j F. Mannaghs Atom Ride and J. Lobiancos I Power Drunk. With the exception of Atom Ride, who is making her seasonal debut, all of tomorrows line-up are well known to local patrons and each has a faithful group of followers. Of the others, Swadelle looms as the one more fitted to succeed. In his last start the son of Swahili was a stout-closing second to the faint-hearted Dauntedid and a repetition of that performance may be suffi-e cient tomorrow.
