Adams began his streak on Plunger in the fifth, and then followed up with Spur On, Dean Cavy in the Joliet Stakes; Flying Bold and Conversational. Plunger, Spur On and Flying Bold were all members of the Bernard W. Landy stable. By J. J. MURPHY HAWTHORNE, Cicero, HI., May 17.— The Veeneman entry of Dean Cavy and Happy Carrier finished first and second, respectively, in the Joliet Stakes here this afternoon. Dean Cavy was carrying the silks of Mrs. Edna M. Veeneman, while Happy Carrier raced for her husband, William H. Veeneman. It appeared to many that Happy Carrier might have given his running mate a better battle as they came to the wire, but jockey Johnny Adams, who was steering his third consecutive winner, was hustling Dean Cavy along, and it is still a moot question as to which of the two thoroughbreds is the better juvenile. Dean Cavys- margin at the end was one length, while Happy Carrier finished three parts of a length in front of the first-time starter, Fiddle, while Mighty Moment took down fourth place. The entry was favored and paid .40. The race was worth ,175 net to the winner, while second money was ,000. Displays Much Power Dean Cavy, who in his two most recent starts, was victorious at Gulfstream Park and Keeneland, displayed considerable power. He was away last in the field of nine and did not loom as a serious factor until the stretch was reached. His finish revealed that he possesses considerable stretch drive and he will be heard from as the distances for juveniles are lengthened. Continued on Page Five Dean Cavy Victor In Joliet Stakes Leads Mate, Happy Carrier, By Length; Adams On Five Straight Lincoln Winners Continued from Page One Happy Carrier was always a good contender and he was not shortening stride at end. He, too, is a double winner this year. The track was heavy and spotty for the twenty-fifth running of the Joliet, and the condition was undoubtedly responsible for the reduction of the field. A total of five were withdrawn from the original entries. The Joliet and its supporting races were witnessed by a gathering of 19,082, which was very good considering the adverse climatic conditions that prevailed during the morning hours. Starter Ruby White had the band away well for the five-furlong event, and Bill Burke, a maiden, soon split out from the band to gain a length advantage over Possess, a half-brother of the stakes-winning False. Possess took over as the leader nearing the stretch turn, and Mighty Mo-, ment moved to second place with Bill Burke dropping back and Fiddle showing to advantage on the outside. At this juncture but little distance separated the first and last horses. The complexion of the contest changed as the field straightened out for the run home. It was then Fiddle, Dean Cavy and Happy Carrier doing battle for domination, with Bill Burke and Possess having dropped out of it. Happy Carrier and Dean Cavy with less than a furlong to go, it was a fiery race between the pair to the wire. The running of the Joliet revealed that the Veeriemans, who call .Louisville their home, have a potent pair of youngsters in Dean Cavy, and Happy Carrier, while Mrs. E. E. D. Shaffer may have a good one in Fiddle. Considering the latter was making his first appearance, his race was quite worthwhile. The Joliet is an annual fixture for colts and geldings on the Lincoln Fields racing agenda. The winners time for the five-eighths was 1:03%. Jockey Adams rode his fourth straight winner and trainer Kalensky made it a triple when Flying Bold, an outsider, won the eighth race. Flying Bold scored by four lengths over King Diver. The winner is owned by B. W. Landy and is was the third purse he garnered during the day. Landy Stable in Limelight Elmer Kalensky, who has been doing quite well in training ranks, saddled a pair of winners for the Chicago patron, Bernard W. Landy, when he sent Plunger postward in the fifth race, and Spur On in the sixth. Both winners were ridden by John Adams. Spur On, one of the best threeyear-olds early last year, and a double victor at Oak-lawn Park this spring, clicked over Tat-tenham and False, while Plunger trimmed the favored Foxy Wager. Jockey Adams was alert with both mounts coming to the inside of the early leaders on the stretch turn. The event won by Spur On was known as the Steger Handicap and was at six and one-half furlongs. Tattenham made the pace, closely followed by False, and when the pair swung out on the final turn Spur On cut to the inside. The Landy colorbear-er gained a slight advantage an eighth out, but was doing his best at the end to win by slightly less than one length, and Tattenham and False, the latter winner of the Crete Inaugural Handicap, both continued valiantly. Oh Leo, champion two-year-old on this circuit last season, was withdrawn from the Steger because of track conditions. Spur On, a heavily backed choice, paid .20. The victory of Bambi Lynne, a 6.00 pay-off horse in the opening race, was responsible for a very lucrative Daily Double. Those fortunate enough to couple the gelding with Mr. Nealie, one of the choices in the second event, were rewarded with a 54.20 return. Bambi Lynne, ridden by Wendell Eads, who also won the opening race Friday, made a show of his rivals when it came to the stretch test, and finished eight lengths before Triograph, who paid 5.00 to place. Third money went to still another outsider, Theonetobeat, who staggered home in advance of the favored Phantom Heels. Apprentice Johnny Heckmann was the fair haired boy in the second event. The lightweight had Mr. Nealie away rather slowly and when the four-year-old showed a reluctance to keep up, young Heckmann convinced him differently. As a result, Mr. Nealie picked up his foes one by one in the stretch turn and was over/ two lengths to the good at the wire. Rose Bed, Mr. Nealies rival for the post of favoritism was second, and Bogalusa. third, "The distance was six furlongs.
