A. CRUSE 1 Staff Correspondent c ASCOT PARK, Cuyahoga Palls, Ohio, J June 13. — Tomorrows nine-race card, the j i D second Saturday of this 44-day meeting, is I I v highlighted by the traditional running of e the ,000 Akron-Cleveland Purse. Last ■ year the purse was but ,500, but general manager D. E. Cronin increased the value s this year. The affair was won last year by jj Paul Keipers Barbazure, with jockey R. L. Jj Hightshoe in the saddle. It had. a seven- • furlong setting then, but along with the • purse increase, the the distance has also c changed to a mile and one-sixteenth. Under the allowance conditions of the ■ Akron-Cleveland Purse, the A and H Stables jj Safe Arrival is topweighted with 118 . pounds, the same poundage the Eight " in Thirty gelding carried to victory in the " Mayflower Purse last Wednesday. That, t to however, was at six and one-half furlongs, and he came from well off the pace to eke 1 L out a nose verdict over A. W. Messersmiths | I Scrub. The late foot he displayed in that should find him capable of taking the top this event, and very possibly going away the end Prior to his victory here, he e was a one-half length victor over N. Ledas" C Sign It in a mile and sixteenth feature d attraction at Cranwood. The Safiko Sta- s: bles En Route was a well beaten sixth in I a the six-horse field of that race, and is 1 j n again named to match strides with him. Others in the field include Bold J., Okla- e: homa Time, Oklahoma Kid, Tidbits, Dream , I ! o of Moon, Make Haste and Oreo. j j Of this group, Make Haste, who races in , I h interest of Mrs. N.

Keiths w Bold J. in the My Boy Tom Purse on June c« That was at the identical one and one-sixteenth miles. 2; 23; Jockey Howard Craig, who has landed in 2f second place in the national jockey stand- S ings, behind jockey Harold Keene, is sched- a; uled to ride Oklahoma Kid again and, although he was beaten five and one-half ir lengths in the -My Boy Tom Purse, it may A have been the tightener needed for a better D performance tomorrow. rt In the race for leading national honors p. p. among the jockeys, Keene has 126 winners ai are against the 119 for Craig.
