No Sinecure for Spartan Valor DELAWARE PARK, Stanton, Del., May 23. The way candidates for Delaware Parks 5,000 added Sussex Handicap are progressing indicates that William G. Helis mighty Spartan Valor will have no soft touch in that mile and a quarter special, to be renewed July 4. The Sussex, according to latest word, looms as Spartan Valors final eastern objective before he seeks further laurels in the Chicago area. It is interesting to note that, of the 11 starters in Belmont Parks recent Metropolitan Handicap, all but two were named for the Sussex. The first six past the wire in that one mile fixture Mameluke, Battlefield, One Hitter, Arise, Greek Ship and Crafty Admiral are Sussex nominees. So it appears certain that this event will be one of the top attractions of Delawares meeting, which opens next Thursday, May 29.
