Pick-Up Girl Is Favored In Hamilton, Ohio, Dash Coming Off Good Second Back of Pecan in Inaugural Handicap By A. L. SHIELDS HAMILTON, Ohio, May 9.— Pick-Up Girl, the E. W. Ruebusch coloi bearer, will endeavor to take down the winners share of the featured Cheviot Purse Friday. An allowance affair for three -year-olds and upward will be run at the about five furlongs distance. Pick-Up Girl was a good second to Pecan in the Hamilton Spring Inaugural Handicap and was getting to the four-year-old Brief Sigh gelding at the end of that six and one-half furlongs dash which was run in 1:22% over a track termed good. In that race the Bold and Bad filly carried 119 pounds. She drops four pounds for tomorrows race. Richard Weeks Lyn Day will probably furnish the stiff est opposition having a win at this meeting against pretty fair horses. However, there is Harold Speak-mans Orbit, a two-time winner here, who might have other ideas as to which one will come down in front. Others in the field of six opposing Pick-up Girlare: D. Lochners Expressive, Mrs. E. Moon s Miss Grand and C. Clark and V. Hisels Zahra. The sixth race at six and one-half furlongs will see Mrs. M. Troianirs Passing Glance try for her second win at this meeting. This seven-year-old daughter of Basileus II. won the first race of the current session when she was four and one-half lengths the best of Jack Inglishs King Abe, who, incidentally, came back to post a smashing victory several days later.
