SEASON CLOSES
At ARLINGTON

ARLINGTON PARK, Ill, Aug.
with more than $95,000 in
stakes and purses offered in races
this afternoon, the richest pro-
gram ever contested on the west
ern turf, Arlington Park closes a
rich and successful 30-day meeting.
The two big events today are
the Post and Paddock St.kes, for
2-year-olds at six furlongs, and
the Arlington Handicap, each
with $4,000 added. Eighteen
starters in the former give it a
gross value of $52,425, the largest
amount ever offered in this sec
ton in a 2-year-old race. In the
latter race, 10 entries increase the
value of the mile and quarter gal
lop to $36,10
Nearly half the 2.year-olds are
owned by Eastern stables. Victor
En- anuers colt, Morfair, vas the
probable post-time favorite be-
cause of a six-furlong workout in
Ill. Others highly considered
were Tellico, Osculator and Phan-
tom Legion.
Sun Beau Attracts
In the order of post position
the field contained: Portden,
Pairbypair, Phantom Legion,
Watch Him, Judge Primrose, Os-
culator, Polonaise, West Junior,
MORTAR, Tellico, Tick On, Liberty
Limited, Texas Knight, JAM
balaya, Modern Queen, At Sum
rise, Electra and Burning Blaze.
Sun Beau, the veteran handi-
cap speeder, was the big attrac-
ton in the second feature of
the day as he has an excellent
chance to win and thereby be-
come the highest mOney-win-
ming horse of all time.
Sun Beau has been burning
up the exceedingly fast Arlington
track, only last week breaking
the mile and a quarter record
set by Mate by running the dis
tance in 2:01 As. The week be-
fore that, Sun Beau equalled
the mile and eighth record of
1:49 2-5.
The 10 named in the handicap
were: Gallant Knight, Minotaur,
Sun Beau, Satin Spar, The Nut,
Plucky Play, Quarter Deck, Spin,
ach, Paul Bunyan and Mike Hall.
Meet One of Best
Six-year old Sun Beau has won
100000 and needs only today's
purse to supplant Gallant Fox
and his mark of $328,000. But
that is a capable field and Sun
Beau is carrying top weight of
1913 pounds, IL more than his
best competitor, old Mike Hall.
Nevertheless Sun Beau was a
6 to S favorite in early betting.
More than 100000 in prize
money was distributed in
ArlingtOn's month of racing,
making it one of the richest in
horse racing history.
Crowds were good and betting
on a par with last year, the peak
being reached at the Arlington
classic when $1,2OO,0OO passed
through the mutuels. Besides
Sun Beau's performances, Mates
startling decisive defeat of
Twenty Grand, the establishment
of four new track records, and
tying OF two marks were the high
lights.
From here racing interests
shift to Hawthorne which opens
an 18-day summer meeting Mon
day with several improvements.
One of these is mutuel totalizer
which shows how much place
and show money is bet on each
horse so the bettorS won't be
dissatisfied at the low prices paid
by a SOL shot, and an electric
timing device attached to the
Bahr starting gate.

their praise of the way Pomeroy
handles it.
This Atlantic City hop is
bound to be popular, as the
fare compares very favorably
with railroad fare. the new
StinSons will be the same tri-

predict.

minor offenders for short terms.
Concealed guards fired on the
escaping quartet, with ShOtguns
loaded with bird shot and feIled
three of them.

Noise of the shooting aroused
the remaining prisoners, many of
whom knew Of the plans. They
set fire to the frame dormitorieS
and q dining hall and turned
cut into the yard to battle the
guardS With stones and hand-to-
hand. A fourth prisoner was
wounded in this scrap.

prevent a delivery and later a
