Harry-Lou to Give RivalsMuch Weight Ohio Handicap Star Carries 122, Conceding River Downs Foes from 14 to 22 Pounds R. E. HURLEY Staff Correspondent RIVER DOWNS, California, Ohio, June 13. — Harry-Lou, handicap star of the Buckeye circuit, will concede 10 rivals from 14 to 22 pounds in Saturdays featured Coca Cola Handicap. This handicap is at the mile and one sixteenth distance and carries a purse value of ,000 and will provide Harry-Lou, weighted at 122 pounds, another chance to replace the retired South Dakota in the minds of Ohio racing fans. Eight other races with duplicate purses of ,100 assure a balanced card for the days sport. Slated to oppose A. Schroeders Harry-Lou are Top Stables Whipall, C. Thorn -tons Register Now, Mays and Harts Muley, L. C. Blacks Reddy Boy, F. H. Swaims Time Sir, Deardorf and McClures Whata-hoss, W. Neils Romanda, Welikit Farms Watch Susan and the W. T. Breezley and C. W. Scott pair of Newsbreak and Genial Jack. Harry -Lou met and defeated most of these entrants a week ago over the same distance as tomorrows race. In that race the gelded son of Half Crown — Bucks Genie was nipped for first position by Pat-the-Pilot, who declined tomorrows test. The Schroeder colorbearer drops one pound from that effort and a drying sun, coupled with a fair breeze should have the track fast again after two days of heavy rains Finished Behind Topweight which suits Harry-Lou fine. Reddy Boy, Register, Now, Newsbreak and Genial Jack finished behind Harry-Lou in last Saturdays feature in the order named. Weight shifts may change these placings tomorrow but not one of them had enough left last week to recommend tomorrow. Register Now, who pressed the pace of Harry-Lou, may set him up for a stouter stretch runner than she but there seems to be none of the potentiality of Pat-the-Pilot in here. Time Sir and Muley are both winners of their last but seem to be suffering from growing pains. Their ambitions are surpassed by the handlers of Whatahoss who is still a maiden despite his four years. They undoubtedly were encouraged by his recent second against maidens. Romanda and Watch Susan are members of the weaker sex and appear to be overmatched tomorrow, while Whipall remains a dark horse. This five-year-old horse comes from an engagement in the Toledo Gold Cup but has not shown his merits on the Cincinnati scene yet. He may be the stretch runner needed to spring the upset but from this corner Harry-Lou looms a distinct standout.
