Mark-Ye-Well Set ToResumeTraining Washington Park Handicap His Objective; Real Delight, Miz Clementine Out for Year By J. J. MURPHY WASHINGTON PARK, Homewood, 111., Aug. 19. The bad luck that has been plaguing the Calumet Farm during the current season took a turn in the brighter direction this morning when t was learned that the handicap star of the stable, Mark-Ye-Well, was not seriously injured in the Clang Handicap and will continue training for the forthcoming Washington Park Handicap, 00,000 added feature on Labor Day. Mark-Ye-Well "grabbed" himself during the running of the Clang and returned to the barn bleeding. However, the injury has responded to treatment and his trainer, Jimmy Jones, today said he is about ready to resume training. Jones said that the great filly, Real Delight, is through with racing, and that just as soon as she is physically able, she will will be sent to the Calumet Frm at Lexington, where she will join the other matrons at the .nursery. Real Delight Has Bowed Tendon Real Delight returned from, her race last Saturday in the Grassland Handicap with a bowed tendon. It was also learned that the fleet two-year-old filly, Miz Clementine, is through for the year. The winner of the Pollyanna Stakes must be subjected to the firing irons before she will be able to train again, Jones said. She is expected to go through the operation at the Calumet Farm in Lexington. The other Calumet handicap division hope, Hill Gail, apparently has lost all semblance of form. He finished absolutely last in the Clang. Jones says there are no immediate plans for Hill Gail, unless he suddenly regains his speed. Bubbley, three-year-old filly star, is also ailing. She suffered an unusual accident when a saddle tree, broke and caused an injury to her withers. That condition has not improved to the extent that she can be trained, and she is not expected to see action for several months. Thus, Mark-Ye-Well is the only comparative star remaining in training for the fabulous Calumet Farm, which has dominated stakes races in the Chicago area for many years.
