. , I : i : 1 "■ Hot Cakes and Gatyup Vie in Beulah Offering Each Striving for Repeat Wins; Mels Best Seen as Contender By R. E. HURLEY Staff Correspondent BEULAH PARK, Grove City, Ohio, May 19. — A Blue Ribbon allowance sprint honoring the Pabst Brewing Company tops the nine -race program at this central Ohio course with eight three-year-olds named overnight to face starter Tom Brown at the six-furlong chute for the eighth race of the day. Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Coles Hot Cakes and W. W. Gatys appropriately named Gatyup, are two recent winners at the Beulah track who will be striving for repeat victories while opposed by Spicy Belle. Oh Nell, Brief Dutch, Little Bing, Buckeye Lady and Mels Best. The last named gelding races for owner E. A. Bischoff and will probably earn the role of favorite despite the local impression of Gatyup and Hot Cakes. Mels Best had two successive victories at Sunshine Park last winter and seems perfectly suited by the conditions. The homebred son of Mel Eppley — Polly Tod has a world of speed from his sire who was one of the best sprinters to ever carry the silks of sportsman Torrance C. Melrose. Trainer George Harris has seldom been one to send his runners postward as short horses and W. D. Lucas who handled the gelding in his Florida scores, will again have the mount. Hot Cakes and Gatyup both left the maiden ranks in their separate successful outings and may be better than generally rated. Hot Cakes, a Whirlaway — Rack-I atack filly, was a three and a half lengths victor in her debut and has the blood to support quality. Of the others in the field there has been a sprinkling of "in the money" horses, enough to indicate a good contest for the feature.
