. Everett Jr. Triumphs Over Mr. Prosecutor Reverses Previous Decision On Leach Colt; Company B. Takes First Half of Joliet By J. J. MURPHY HAWTHORNE, Cicero, 111., May 23.— A crowd of 21,513, the largest of the Chicago season to date, attended this track today to view an excellent bill featured by the Joliet Stakes, which was run in two divisions. The purse value of each end was 5,000 added and after Company B., a brown gelding by Valdina Lamar — Company Rest, by Forty Winks, had won the first end in the silks of Cresson Farm, Everett Jr., a colt by Eternal Bull — Beedee, by Bimelech, took the second. Company B. scored narrowly. Everett Jr. galloped to an eight length success. The track was slow, and Everett Jr. ran the five furlongs distance in 1:00, one and two-fifths of a second faster than Company B. Company B. paid 7.60 and was ridden by John Adams for the veterans third success of the afternoon. Everett Jr., the second choice, paid .00 and had Al Popara in the saddle. First Section Resembles Rodeo The first division of the Joliet Stakes, in which 10 competed, resembled a rodeo. Thunderbird acted like a bucking broncho at the gate and Dicks Future, the favorite, unseated his rider, who seemed to be injured slightly. The horses milled around the gate for many minutes before being loaded, but they were off at once, and Company B., an outsider, owned by Cresson Farm, was a winner over Fred Hoopers Hoop Ring, another long shot, with Milton Reseguets Practical, another neglected one, getting third money, and Thunderbird being fourth. Inasmuch as several of the juveniles raced greenly, the contestants switched positions at different stages of the journey. Black Invader made the pace, with Hoop Ring and Company B. well up. Dicks Future, who had been in close quarters early, made a move jiearing the stretch turn but was virtually eliminated when Thunderbird, the villain of the piece, bore out on him in the stretch. Black Invader weakened entering the home lane, and in the run to the end it was strictly a two-horse race between Hoop Ring and Company B. The latter gradually wore down the Hooper racer and scored by three parts of a length. Hoop Ring was five lengths in advance of Practical at the end.

Upsets in First Continued from Page One 1,525 after Local Clover had been withdrawn in the paddock by order of the stewards. About 00 had been wagered on Local Clover, whose papers did not conform to his markings. The money was refunded. Mr. Prosecutor, who had defeated Everett Jr., a double stakes winner, in the Bashford Manor at Churchill Downs, was unable to handle the Everett Lowrance colt today. After Wee Payoff had made the early pace, Everett Jr., a ,800 purchase as a yearling, moved up to challenge near-ing the stretch turn. The eventual winner was well in the van rounding the bend, increased his margin to five lengths at mid-stretch and won as he pleased. Mr. Prosecutor, who was in some slight trouble in the early running, seemed hopelessly beaten rounding the stretch turn, but came well through the stretch to nip OSystem, a recent winner here. Everett Jr. earned 1,425 by his victory. A pair of odds-on choices were successful in the. earjy races when Queen Hopeful won the third and Bloom took the fifth. Queen Hopeful, a wto-year-old filly purchased by Mr. and Mrs. Allie Reuben, of Hasty House Farm, at the Keeneland sales, registered her third straight victory when she won by seven lengths over a band of her own sex. Bloom, with Johnny Adams steering his second winner of the afternoon, was an easy victress over Diane B. and Free for Me. The latter was ridden by John Ralph Adams. A couple of Peabody Memorial eligibles went to the post in the fourth in Breakers, the favorite, and Prince Marque, who was also well played. Both were unplaced, with Yea Bama, piloted by Al Popara, being a galloping winner. Yea Bama went to the front early and never was menaced. The Daily Double paid 89.20 when Diamond Moran, ridden by W. M. Cook, took the first, and I Froo, with Adams the elder up, won the second. Diamond Moran had some difficulty overtaking Inaccessible, who made the pace, but I Froo won earily from Jimmys Doll. Five claims were registered for the latter, with William Hal Bishop geeting her in the draw.
