Mooers Homebred Has Permane Up Late Charge of Filly Spells Victory at Lincoln Fields; Sherry L. Winds Up Third By J. J. MURPHY LINCOLN FIELDS, Crete, 111., May 24.— Jockey Bobby Permane, who steered Top Traffic to victory in a division of the Joliet Stakes here Saturday, further increased his popularity with Chicago racegoers by putting up an excellent exhibition to land his mount, La Ronde, winner of the sixth race here today. Permane is making his first appearance on the Chicago scene, after having been for years one of the most successful jockeys in the East. His feat on La Ronde, owned by Clifford Mooers, is all the more remarkable in that he was on an outsider and was obliged to ease in the early running. La Ronde defeated Fulvous, one of the favorites, by two lengths, while Sherry L. was third. A field of eight were trying the six-furlong distance in the sixth, and Roman Warbler and Fulvous were about equal choices. Roman Warbler cut out the early pace to be headed by Fulvous in the stretch. Then along came La Ronde on the outside to win going away. Roman Warbler was a tiring fourth. La Ronde, who was saddled by the Californian, Harry Brown, paid 5.80. 8,944 in Attendance The attendance on this the first Monday of the meeting was 8,944 and summerlike weather prevailed. Mimi Mine, clever sprinting filly owned by Mrs. Herbert Herff of Memphis, Tenn., won the Homewood Purse that came seventh on the program. It was well that Mimi Mine obtained a good lead in the stretch because the strong finisher, Ruhe, ridden by Johnny Adams, came from far out of it to be wearing her down. Third place went to Vixen Fixit. Set Shot set the pace and opened up a good lead in so doing but Mimi Mine, who had been second in the early running, took over in the stretch. A sixteenth from home you would not have given 10 cents for Ruhes chances to be in the money, but Adams steered him to the outside and he closed very fast. Mimi Mine defeated him by one and a quarter lengths. Steve Brooks rode Mimi Mine, who was a short-priced favorite and paid .80 in running six furlongs in 1:13%. The Daily Double paid 19.00 due chiefly to the fact that Script Bar, an outsider, Continued on Page Forty-Three La Ronde Outruns Fulvous In Lincoln Fields Sprint Continued from Page One took the first race. The second end was won by Feud, the favorite. Mike Weissman rode Script Bar and rode her well to have her stave off .the closing charge of the favored Airpak. Feud, ridden by John Heckmann, had speed from the start in his race and it was well that he did, because O Kays Son came from some distance out of it to be a strong going second. The second race was marred somewhat by an accident, when Slick Knight tossed .apprentice Henry Perez at the start. The boy was not injured. Rite-One, a favored. two-year-old won a five-furlong dash, which was the third event. It was a maiden affair and marked the fourth start for Rite-One, a son of Rippey, out of the Bull Lea mare, Cindy Lea. Rite-One, ridden by Dave Erb, went to the front after going less than a quarter and dominated the situation thereafter to beat out Phil Quaglino by three lengths. Two juveniles were withdrawn from the event after the wagering had gotten under way, and those who wagered on them broke even. They got their money back. One was Drongo, who was withdrawn in the paddock by the order of the veterinarian, and the other was Phillips Pal, who unseated his rider and galloped off six furlongs. The silks of J. Graham Brown of Louisville were seen in victory in the fourth when Uncased, a three-year-old who clicked during the Fair Grounds meeting, was successful at the mile distance. Jockey Al Popara had Uncased close up all the way and the gelding turned in a good effort. Lady o Fame was the favorite, but lacked speed and was never in the hunt. Trainer Howard Wells saddled a 0 winner in the fifth affair in the four-year-old King. The son of Brookfield, ridden by Arnold Kirkland, made it look easy. He went to the front early, was never headed _and, just to prove his superiority, was increasing his margin at the end. Alsab Ace was second and Lotasmoke third, with the short-priced favorite, Notable, unplaced. Notable was never in the picture and went •wide in the stretch. The distance was one mile.
