Delaware Oaks Is Hushaby Baby Goal 1 I Cain Hoy Miss Impressed in , Gazelle Tally; Will Engage , Tough Rival in Lily White DELAWARE PARK, Stanton. Del., June 16.— Cain Hoy Stables Hushaby aby f emerged victorious in Saturdays Gazelle - Stakes at Aqueduct, thereby gaining a i starting position and considerable respect in . this week-ends running of the 7,500 Delaware Oaks, a test of a mile and a furlong. While the Gazelle was the initial I stake success for Hushaby Baby, it pointed I out the Questionnaire filly as one of the seasons leading three-year-old fillies.

Browns Parading Lady and Mrs. R. A. Firestones Petitpoint, • [ | j all of whom are eligible to compete in j Saturdays Oaks. Petitpoint was the last t ! j member of the group to finish and she was I | | less than 10 lengths behind the winner, so , it is reasonable to suspect that all will L tangle with her at the first opportunity. The invaders, however, may be forced 1 to take a back seat to the local talent, • which includes Mrs. Walter M. Jeffords Lily White, runner-up to Calumets Real I Delight in the Coaching Club American i Oaks. Kiss Me Kate accounted for the , i Oaks last year for the Jeffords stable, then j | went on to earn divisional honors.
