Consider Sending Spinning Top Here Phipps Filly Likely Prospect For Lincoln Handicap; Hasty House May Send Trio to Post LINCOLN FIELDS, Crete, 111., June 15. Trainer Max Hirsch, in a telephone conversation this morning with his long-time friend, Jake Lowenstein, said he is seriously considering sending J. S. Phipps Spinning Top here for next Saturdays 0,000 Lincoln Handicap. For many years, Lowenstein has received and handled Hirsch-trained horses shipped to Chicago for important stakes engagements. The four-year-old Spinning Top, a daughter of Bull Lea Whirlabout, ran in the Top Flight Handicap at Beimont last week, finishing second after barely failing to catch the shifty Sunshine Nell. Last year, at three, the homebred Phipps filly won the Black-Eyed Susan Stakes and finished fourth in the Betsy Ross, Monmouth Oaks and Comely Handicap. Until a late hour today it had been expected J. M. Lingle would ship his New England champion, Larry Ellis, here for the mile and one-sixteenth Lincoln Handicap. His final decision not to come was due in part to his inability to obtain the services of jockey Willie Shoemaker. Winfreys Statement When contacted today regarding the status of A. G. Vanderbilts Find and Crash Drive as eligibles for the Lincoln trainer Bill Winfrey said: "Find was subjected to a tough race yesterday in the Queens County Handicap, and this forces me to abandon the Lincoln Handicap. Crash Dive may be a good colt, but he is not quite seasoned enough for the type of competition he would meet in the Lincoln." Allie Reuben, master of Hasty House Farm, and his trainer, Harry Trotsek, who have Ruhe, Mister Black, Seaward, Inseparable and the three-year-olds, Hasty Road and Sea Q Erin, eligible for the Lincoln, were arranging their strategy for the week end. Reuben intimated he might enter three of his sextet for the 0,000 race. Meanwhile, at the moment, Harry N. Eads Sir Mango, with 123 pounds, finds himself the probable topweight and favorite next Saturday. The four-year-old son of Gilded Knight Marie Kantar won both of his stakes races here, the latest, the Fleming Handicap, by 12 lengths.
