J. MURPHY ARLINGTON PARK, Arlington Heights, 111., June 20.— The 5,000 added Warren Wright Memorial Stakes for three-year-olds at six furlongs, and the 5,000 added Pollyanna Stakes for two-year-olds at five and one-half furlongs, are the attractions expected to lure a crowd of about 25,000 to this palatial racing plant tomorrow. They may also have the pleasure of witnessing Eddie Arcaro, Americas premier rider pilot, gain the 3,000th winner of his career. Arcaro will have the mount on the Calumet Farms Bubbley, likely favorite for the Pollyanna, and on Mrs. E. E. D. Shaffers Suggested, who will be one of the choices in the Warren Wright. Favorite among the 15 entered for the Warren — ~"- -♦Wright ►Wright will, will, in in all all probability, probability, be be Bayard Bayard ►Wright will, will, in in all all probability, probability, be be Bayard Bayard Sharps Hannibal, winner of the Experimental Free Handicap No. 1 early in the Jamaica meeting, and who was victorious in his most recent start, which was at Delaware Park, by five lengths. Hannibal, a double stakes winner as a two-year-old, will be ridden by W. J. Passmore, whose father is the trainer. Passmore was on the colt in the Experimental. Fighting it out with Hannibal and Suggested for the honors in the second running of the Warren Wright will be Red Top Stables Red Charger, Allison and Prestriges Dark Count, Miss L.

E. Pershalls Plus Fours, Milton Shagrins Shag Tails, J. H. Dunns Oh Leo, and the Brown Hotel Stables Old Fiddle. Oh Leo to Have Many Supporters Oh Leo, favorite in this sector last season, is expected to have many supporters despite the setbacks he received at the New Orleans Fair Grounds during the past winter following a string of juvenile successes. He came back in excellent shape to win over Bella Figura and others at the Lincoln Fields meeting a couple of weeks ago and will have Otto Grohs, who piloted him on that occasion, in the irons tomorrow. Suggested, purchased by Mrs. Shaffer from Brookmeade Stable this morning, has won five races in 13 starts this year, but perhaps his best effort was at Belmont Park when he finished second to Charlie Continued on Page Three k : : ; • ■ ; . !

Hannibal, Bubbley Race at Arlington Former Seeks Warren Wright Memorial; Arcaro to Handle Calumet Filly in Pollyanna Continued from Page One McAdam in a division of the Swift Stakes. Armageddon, who defeated the Belmont Stakes winner, One Count, in the Withers and trimmed Golden Gloves, the Shevlin Stakes winner in the Peter Pan, was behind Suggested in the Swift as was Primate and other good ones. Dance Nsing, a rejuvenated claiming racer, caused the public to sit up and take notice when he finished second to Smoke Screen in an allowance race at the Lincoln Fields session, and then came back to be a strong second to Gushing Oil in the Pea-body Memorial Handicap. He has been a winner since that time and will have a jockey change from Scurlock to Adams. Dark Count, winner of the San Luis Rey Handicap at Santa Anita last winter, was a fair second back of Old Fiddle in the Cedarcrest Purse here opening day in making his third start of the Chicago season. Red Charger, usually a consistent sort, ran a disappointing race last time out after having won his first start at Lincoln and being fairly well up in the Peabody Memorial. Espinos Image has started twice this year and displayed but little, while Rommel beat Smoke Screen at Keeneland, and War Teddy at Churchill Downs. Topside was third to King Jolie and Primate in the Jersey Stakes at Garden State Park in his only stakes try of the year. Plus Fours is making his first start since his Florida campaign in which he was victorious once in seven starts. Old Fiddle won the Cedarcrest here opening day, while Eljay beat Oh Leo at Lincoln and was later trounced by that colt. Amafox was second in his only start at Lincoln and has won but a single race in his career. War Teddy has failed to impress. Bubbley, who will be making her fourth start of the year in the Pollyanna, has won two of Jier previous three. She left the maiden ranks in her first outing, which was at Keeneland, and then finished second to Aerolite at the same track. On both occasions she was ridden by the apprentice Donald Devine. She then came back, with Arcaro aboard, to take the Debutante at Churchill Downs. Biddy Jane Double Stakes Winner Biddy Jane, who looms as Bubbleys chief rival in the Pollyanna, was second to the Calumet miss in the Debutante and later won the Rancocas Stakes at Garden State Park and the Miss America Stakes at the Lincoln Fields session. She is owned by J. R. Collins, of Detroit, and will be ridden by Lois Cook, who guided her in the Miss America. F. W. Hoopers Eddie Sue, who is another stakes winner in the field, took the Bay City Kindergarten at Suffolk Downs and has won her last three outings. She started out in ,500 claiming ranks. Steve Brooks will ride. The remainder of the 14-horse Pollyanna field is composed of Claiborne Farms Blue Jeans, Mrs. O. S. Demings Stephens Girl, and F. L. Flanders Smart Cookie, all maidens; Hal Price Headley s Cajole, who was second to Biddy Jane in the Rancocas and who has never been unplaced; Brookmeade Stables Madame Arcati, who made the second start of her career here Wednesday and was a winner; Brumfield Brothers Happy Deb, who has won a single race in 13 starts; S. I. Crews Celtic Play, who was unplaced back of Bubbley and Biddy Jane in the Debutante and also back of Biddy Jane and Sweet Patootie in the Miss America, but who defeated Sweet Patootie at Churchill Downs; Tuonine, a winner at the Lincoln Fields meeting but was unplaced in the Miss America, and Gifted Gal, who boasts a win over Aerolite but was "lost" in both the Debutante and the Miss America. Post time for the first race Saturday will be 1 :30 p. m. instead of the usual 2:00 p. m. Rain fell here most of the morning and the track was very sloppy for todays races, and figures to be no better than slow for the running of Saturdays program.
