J. MURPHY HAWTHORNE, Cicero, 111., June 4.— The six-year-old Cacomo, with jockey Johnny Adams in the saddle, registered a nose victory over the longshot Recline, in the Flat Iron Purse, feature race here today. Coming from last place and taking the worst of it by racing in the middle of the track, the son of Four Fredoms was up to catch his rival in the closing strides. Third money went to the good closing Challcote, with Eagle Eye, one of the well played ones, finishing fourth. Mon Pharo, the favorite, stopped badly. A crowd of 12,702 was in attendance on a cloudy but not unpleasant afternoon. The track was fast. Cacomo, who paid 1.60, was making his fourth try for a purse at this meeting. Last time out he was second to Air Mail on a heavy track. The gelding was in last place as the field lined out following the start of the six-furlong race, and Eagle Eye, Mon Pharo, and Stop Gap were out fighting for the leadership, with Recline being saved close up: Stop Gap was shut off at the stretch turn, and Mon Pharo began to drop back, but Eagle Eye still held command and Recline was moving up . Recline caught and passed Eagle Eye nearing the last six-tenth, but Cacomo came with a rush on the outside to be up in time. His running time was 1:11%. Race for ,000 Purse Cacomo, who is owned by Endovina and Kontos, carried 108 pounds. He started 20 times last year and won two races. Recline was making his first start of the year and turned in an excellent effort. The purse for the race was ,000. The two-year-old, Bill Burke, which Mrs. Emil Denemark purchased from Elmendorf Farm for a reputed price of 5,000, won the first race of his career when he was a galloping victor in the fifth event. The race, which was for maiden youngsters, was known as the Capt. Hal, and Bill Burke, a son of Roman, with John Heckmann in the saddle, led from start to finish. As a matter of fact, after the race was but an instant old the Denemark runner had opened up daylight and he continued to add to his margin thereafter. The official winning gap was five lengths. Bill Burke was a mild favorite, with Preposterous the second choice. Preposterous finished second and Smart Cookie was third in the five-furlong dash. In another two-year-old affair, this one Continued on Page Forty Cacomo Registers Nose Accounting at Hawthorne Closes Fast to Defeat Recline; Ugoby Upsets in The Dude Purse Continued from Page One a claiming dash, Babys Delight, ridden by Dave Erb, was triumphant. Erb hustled the son of Boss Hoss to the front at the outset and he was never headed, although Lark Sun, with Adams up, was pressing him at the end. Outlaw was third and Nickies Boy, the public choice, ended up in fourth place. The event came third on the bill and was at five furlongs. It was the second straight success for Babys Delight, he having won his last start at Churchill Downs. The favored Pocket All took the fourth race from So There, with Mighty Pretty being third. The affair was fashioned for three-year-olds and was at six furlongs. Cuban Heels made the pace but tired, and Pocket All, with Otto Grohs up, went to the front in the stretch. Ugoby, a three-year-old who was bred on the Mikel Farm at Carlock, 111., won The Dude Purse, secondary feature on the program when he bested Amafox following a bitter stretch duel in the sixth race. The winner, longest-priced starter in the six-horse field, paid 8.40 and was well ridden by apprentice William Cox. Third money went to War Teddy, the heavily backed favorite; Amafox made the pace but Ugoby raced up to him after entering the last furlong and it was "dog eat dog" to the end. The winning margin was a nose. Ugoby was winner of his first start at Sportsmans Park, but was beaten off at that track last time out.
