FAYORITESFARE POORLY;! 9 I i Mild Upsets the Rule on Warm Day at Arlington Park. • i Some Pomp Finally Hangs On to Win purse — Barcarolle Takes Measure of Bert Beid. — ♦ ARLINGTON HEIGHTS. III., July 2.— j j Horses have just been getting up to beat Some Pomp, top three-year-old filly of War- j j ren Wrights Calumet Farm Stable, in the j four starts she had made this season before today, but none of the other three-year-olds i in the field of eight that went to the post for the Hamilton Purse, the feature today, j I had enough speed to overtake her in the | stretch this afternoon. Getting away from | the gate in front under one of Jack West- j j ropes hustling rides, Some Pomp led all the j way and then stood a drive in the final fur- I long to win by a length. Closest to Some Pomp at the end of the J six furlongs, run in 1:11 over the lightning j fast track, was H. C. McConnells Dogmata, I I which got up on the inside in the last stride to have a nose margin over the third place Mr. James. The well backed Chance Line, racing for Joseph E. Widener, finished well | back for sixth to conform to the pattern of an afternoon of mild upsets, which saw only one favorite win in the first five races. DOGMATA UNFORTUNATE. The pace of :22*6 for the quarter and , •A5% for the half kept Some Pomp far enough in front to the stretch so that she escaped any crowding, but Dogmata was not so fortunate. Away slowly and in front of Ashen only in the early stages, jockey Harbort had to make his move with Dogmata coming into the stretch turn. Getting past the third place Carbina on the inside and passing Patchpocket on the outside, he drove Dogmata into a narrow open- | ing next to the rail. In the late stages he ■ was almost directly behind Some Pomp, I j without room to pass her on the inside and racing head and head with Mr. James so J that he was prevented from going to the outside with the good turn of speed he had ! at his command at the finish. The first race, a seven furlongs dash, in which eleven platers met, fell to the Audley | Farm, when the three-eyar-old filly, Tiny Kitty, came from just behind the pace in the early stretch and stood a drive to triumph •. by a length and a half over J. Dines Wild j Reigh. Mrs. N. W. Burkharts Legal Gamble j was third, another half length back, in a race run in 1:24% over the fast track. Black Miss cut out a brisk early pace, with the leaders at the half in :46, but began dropping back steadily on the far turn. SECRET TRYST TOO FAST. There was no catching Jimmy Emerys , three-year-old Secret Tryst in the second race, at six furlongs. Away in front and saving ground under a well-judged ride by | W. D. Wright, Secret Tryst was never headed after the early stages and, although forced to a drive through the final furlong, I lasted to win by a half length. Mrs. Rose Sullivans Bay Servant was always second, I and C. E. Davisons veteran Infinity closed stoutly on the outside to be another head back for third. Bruce Johnsons Malolo, backed down to slightly more than even money favoritism on the strength of a record which included victories in his last three starts at Fair-mount, had no excuses. He made up ground on the outside, moved up at the head of the stretch, but was unable to threaten the leaders. The race was run in 1:12. The silks of Mrs. K. E. Hitt were carried 1 to victory for the first time at the meeting, I when her bay colt, Barcarolle, led a field of i nine other two-year-olds all the way to win by two lengths over T. C. Wordens Bert Reid. D. B. Midkiffs Polly Rita, a strong tavorite, was a head back for third, after having always been close up. Jockey Arcaro got the winner away well and he had spurted to the front before the field reached the first turn. Once in the lead he was not seriously threatened, although he was under urging through the late stretch. Barcarolle ran the five and one-half furlongs in 1:0Q2,:,. Coupled with Secret Tryst in the winning "Daily Double," he paid 04.06. The battered favorite players had to wait until the fourth race, a five and one-half furlongs spiint engaging an unusually good field of maiden two-year-olds, before success came to them. But they were correct in backing Col. E. R. Bradleys Born Happy to Continued on thirtieth page. f th the B n n.

Behind him was the Calumet Farms Skip which came strongly on the outside through the final quarter, after being away slowly. A head farther back was J. J. Coughlins Advantage. The time was 1:06 Is. Wood Axtons five-year-old mare, Anita Ormont, that had been able to win only one race in twenty-eight starts this season, added another to her string in the sixth race, one mile affair out of the chute in which eleven platers came together. Brought up the outside on the stretch turn, she drew away easily and was not challenged thereafter to go on to a handy victory by a length and a half. She beat J. B. Partridges fast-finishing Militia, with one of the early pacemakers. Jay McNamaras Platinum Blonde, holding on well enough to be another length back for third. The time was 1:38%. Mrs. John D. Hertz three-year-old son Reigh Count, Red John, was dropped into field somewhat cheaper than he has been meeting in the past in the seventh at one mile and finished gamely on the outside to score an easy victory by three lengths. Howard Oots Marcella H. got second money, a length and a half in front of the early leader, G. F. Woodmans Flying Justice. The race was run in the good time 141%.
