Second Straight Cancellation At Sportsmans Due to Rain SPORTSMANS PARK, Cicero, HI., June 11. — The Chicago Downs meeting at Sportsmans Park has its second straight rain-out Friday night. Officials ran off the programs on Monday and Tuesday despite adverse conditions, had a good night Wednesday when over 7,500 fans attended, but when the rains came again Thursday it was impossible to continue. And then rain late Friday afternoon and all through the night made it two straight cancellations, the first in three years at the Cicero course. The program honoring the 22d birthday of Greyhound, greatest trotter of them all, likewise had to be canceled but the Edward J. Baker "great" will be honored at ft later date.
