Levys Hueso, an invader from New Jersey, ridden by the veteran Basil James, captured the twenty-sixth running of the Shevlin Stakes at Aqueduct today, reaching the end of the seven furlongs a wrestlers neck before "George Auerbachs Dictar. It was another three lengths back to Jack Amiels Sun Warrior, who set much of the pace, while Ben F. Whitakers Tahitian King, topweight and odds-on favorite, was another neck out of the money. A crowd of 18,617, many of whom became thoroughly drenched in a sudden rainstorm before and during the fifth race, somewhat overlooked Hueso, who paid 7.30, 0.80 and .30 across the board.

It was the second stakes victory for the bay colt, who had won the Cherry Blossom Stakes at Bowie in April, then finished second to Royal Bay Gem in the Chesapeake. He had won his last start, an overnight event at Monmouth Park, with James in the saddle. Drops Back to Seventh Place Hueso was first away from the gate in the Shevlin, but quickly dropped back to i seventh place, while Impasse, Caesar Did, A Cairnbrook and Sun Warrior charged fl down the backstretch almost on a line, with Virtuous not far away on the rail, while Tahitian King was on the extreme V outside with Hueso right inside of him.

Bassanio tried to follow this move, but was soon in close quarters. Hueso took command just inside the eighth pole and appeared about to draw away to a convincing trumph, when Dictar charged up on the inside, gaining with every stride, in a furious bid that just fell short by a stride. Sun Warrior held on fairly well though boviously tired, while Tahitian King, after being on the outside all the way, drifted a bit father out in the final furlong. Virtuous was a close fifth, followed by Caesar Did and Bassanio. Hueso was a ,000 yearling, purchased by Tinkham Veale U. from* Elmendorf . He was sold at two to Mrs. Walter A.
