St. Louis Handicap Has Attracted Field of Eleven Undone, Babys Delight Vie" for Favoritism in Fairmount Event By WILLIAM C. PHILLIPS Staff Correspondent FAIRMOUNT PARK, Collinsville, 111., Aug. 28. A pleasing response of 11 entries was made this morning to the St. Louis Handicap which will feature Saturday ; nights sport here with the field vying at : six furlongs for a purse of ,000. J. W. "Cowboy" Coopers Undone, victor of the Collinsville Handicap early in the meeting, heads the band under 119 pounds. Probable favorite, however, is the W. C. Davison and L. B. Jeffers three-year-old filly, Babys Delight, who won the East St. Louis Handicap a week ago. She is spotted with 112 pounds and gives away weight to the re- mainder. Other prominent contenders are K. G. Sicklers Silver Valjean, say winner at five and one-half furlongs his last outing; T. and W. Stewarts Umbrella Man, victorious last week at a distance; H. C. Zellers Open Heir, second in the East St. Louis Handicap; James C. Ellis Raging Tide, second in the Collinsville Handicap, and Mr. and Mrs. G. B. Hoymans All Tilly, who defeated both of the highweights winning a sprint two weeks ago. Undone gave a dull effort and apparently had no excuse when he finished sixth in the field outsprinted by All Tilly. A semblance of his earlier form, however, rates him his top standing and he will be helped along by the services of Les Wiskel who is. presently the leading rider of the meeting. Babys Delight could not match speed, with All Tilly in that event either, but -she returned to decisively turn the tables in the East St. Louis, winning that dash in a swift 1:12 by three lengths. Earl Van Hook, who is closely pressing Wickel for the riding honors, has a return assignment on this daughter of Boss Hoss. All Tilly, a four-year-old filly, apparently depends entirely upon her speed and when she could not reach the front last week she went along evenly and finished fourth. Bill Weants Mary H., whose superior alertness away from the gate was Til Tillys nemesis, is again in the line-up and can be expected to fashion the early pace. Also worthy of mention is A. Schroeders Harry-Lou, a veteran who has won-many handicaps" here, but recently has shown dull form. "
