♦ War Antique Tries for Second Win of Lincoln Meeting Today Carries E. C. Roth Colors ] Against Hasty House Duo, Five Others at Hawthorne HAWTHORNE, Cicero, 111., May 21.— The four-year-old black colt, War Antique, a victorious favorite here Monday on Lincoln Fields opening day program, will try for his second win of the meeting tomorrow when he comes out for the Naperville Purse against seven others in the featured event. However, he will be racing for a new owner, Edward C. Roth, Chicago coal merchant, who has operated a racing stable for some years. War Antiques former owner, the Fairway Farm of H. J. OShea, ran the colt in a ,500 claiming race last Monday and he was one of the two horses haltered from that race, the other being Cutting Edge, taken by W. H. Bishop. The Naperville, which carries a purse of ,000 under allowance conditions, is at one and one-sixteenth miles, a distance which apparently is quite suitable to War Antique. His Monday victory was scored at the same distance and was his third of the current season. Johnny Adams rode him Monday. Herb Litzenberger will be up tomorrow on the black son of War Relic — Little Nymph. Successful Pair of Veteran Among War Antiques rivals in the Naperville will be the Hasty House Farm veterans. Seaward and Inseparable, a pair of eight-year-old geldings who have raced successfully on many occasions, including stakes, for their Toledo owners, Mr. and Mrs. Allie Reuben. It was due largely to the success of Seaward and Inseparable that the Hasty House owners were persuaded to buy other made horses, their later purchases including Ruhe, Big Stretch, an interest in Oil Capitol, and others. Seaward, by Pilate, who died recently, was bred by Mrs. Dodge Sloanes Brookmeade Farm, while Inseparable, by Unbreakable, is a product of Elmendorf Farm when that establishment was owned by the Wideners. Others in the Naperville Purse are H. G. Bockmans Penaway, winner of two races this season: J. P. Keezeks Abbe Sting, W. W. Bishops Stoner Creek, D. J. Gleesons Chombro, and Walmac Farms Gone Gos-lin.
