Y., April 30.— Wally Schwabs Milspal, the only filly in the field, slipped through a knothole on the inner rail to beat nine colts in the featured Hero-dias Purse at Jamaica today. The daughter of Basileus n., who had failed badly when pitted against older fillies and mares two days ago, drew out in the stretch to score by a length and a half over George Auerbachs Dictar, who lost ground at the head of the stretch, but finished a half length before Woodvale Farms Modest Continued on Page Forty-Four j 1 I J Milspal Shows Her Heels To Male Foes at Jamaica Wally Schwabs Filly Furnishes Surprise While Trimming Dictar Continued from Page One Pete, who led Warbern Stables Sickles Sound a scant neck. Milspal was virtually ignored by the majority in the crowd of 20,126. paying 0.30 after Willie Lester hustled her over the mile and a sixteenth in l:45-j. C. V. Whitneys Fly Wheel, who had finished third behind Laffango and Invigorator in the Gotham Stakes last out. finished eighth after being in third place in the back-stretch, while Robert O. Levys Hueso. who was second to Royal Bay Gem in the Chesapeake Stakes and won the Cherry Blossom in his last two Maryland starts, finished fifth without ever looking like a contender. Modest Pete and Resilient fought for the early lead in the Herodias, racing as a team daylight before Fly Wheel in the run around the clubhouse turn and up the backstretch. Brother Friar was a fairly close fourth, followed by Dictar. who was racing on the outside. Far back. Hueso. Brown Booter and Sickles Sound brought up the rear. Resilient stopped soon after passing the three-furlong pole, leaving Modest Pete in the van. while Milspal began to close rapidly on the rail, followed by Sickles Sound and Dictar began a strong bid on the outside. As Modest Pete tired, he began to drift out, carrying Dictar with him. while Milspal shot through the opening into a clear lead, with Sickles Sound close behind. Milspal went on about her business under a strong ride from Lester, while Dictar finished fast to take second money from Modest Pete in the final strides. Sickles Sound hung at the end, after a prolonged run from last place. The veteran Jim Fitzsimmons evidently scratched the wrong horse from yesterdays Youthful Stakes when he withdrew Wheat-ley Stables Quick Lunch in favor of Full Flight and Privacy.

Yolo Stables Interval was such second as there was. C. V. Whitneys Sugar Dad, a dark gray son of Burg-El-Arab — Mother, by Mah-moud, scored a front-running victory over a fashionably-bred band of juveniles in the fifth race, skipping to the wire in :59*5 for the five furlongs, a length and a half before Pat Provenzanos Pama. The rest, who included Blue Master, a full brother to Blue Man, were nowhere. Sugar Dad was ridden by Hedley Woodhouse and paid .20.
