Tohil May Rule Choice In Sportsmans Event Bishop Runner Has Six Rivals In Mile and Sixteenth Affair SPORTSMANS PARK, Cicero, HI., May 7.— William Hal Bishops Tohil makes his third start at the current Sportsmans Park meeting Tuesday when he goes to the post as a slight favorite to win the Howitz Purse, the seventh race over the one and one-sixteenth miles distance.

Both efforts were over muddy tracks. Ray Br.oussard, the regular jockey of the Bishop stable, will ride Tohil. Six others are also entered in the one and one-sixteenth miles feature. They are Vic Lipsitts Mikeby Mrs. Russell L. Reine-mans Rosehue, Connor C. Caudles Appropriate, Adalph Stables Babys Pal, James McCluskeys Im Expectin and Robert G. Burns True Bruce. Rosehues latest effort and her only start at the meeting was an. unexpected victory on April 25 when she paid a 6.40 mutuel by winning a six and one-half furlongs event, while True Bruces last start found him second to Crownette in a one and one-sixteenths mile affair last Friday. Approp-. riate also ran on that day, finishing out of the money in another one and one-sixteenths mile affair, which was won by Sixty Two.
