Favored My Request
5taggers in Fourth;
Shy Guy Second
Nv the A,seeia,sd Press


CHICAGO, July 31.-Arlington
Park, the graveyard Of champions,
buried another short-priced favor
lite in the rich Arlington Classic
today as Papa Redbird, at odds Of
8 to 1. galloped to a six-length
victory.
Shy Guy, owned by Charles T.
Fisher, Detroit industrialist, fin
;shed second. Lou JAG ended third,
and My Request, the 4-to-5 favorite
from the East, ridden by Eddie Ar
caro-, came in staggering fourth
in a six-horse field.
Thus the fabulous jinx Of the
$4,000 Classic upheld once more,
with My Request joining such other
beaten favorites as Twenty Grand,
Bimelech, Whirlaway, Johnstown
and Assault in other years.
Papa Redbird, owned by Joseph
A. Goodwin, Lexington, KY, and
ridden by Jockey r. L. Baird, the
money-riding Texan, outran and
outrode the best the East had to
offer before a crowd Of 81 400.
Papa Redbird sailed into the lead
as the small field of six got away
and led from start to finish.
King Ranch's Better Self, also
an invader from the New York
tracks, wound up fifth, a length and
a quarter back of My Request, while
D. A. Rosenbaum's Reborn, another
fastener, brought up the rear, 80
lengths behind.
Fasteners Bring Up Rear.
Thus, the three Eastern invaders
finished in the last three places,
while the Midwestern horses ran
1928 in this event for three-year-
olds.
My Request, best of the 3-year-
Odds in the East, was the logical
horse in the classic, inasmuch as
Citation was absent. My Request,
however, never reached serious con-
tention and pulled up sore.
Papa Redbird, a chestnut son of
Balladier ran the mile and a
quarter in 2:03 and paid SIG to
win, $720 to place and $3.50 to
show. The victory was worth $685.

turned "a An IN show
1t was Papa Redbird's second
stakes victory of the Arlington
meeting and the fourth in five for
Jockey Baird who was up on the
winner in the Dick Welles Stakes.
Papa Redbird that day negotiated
the mile in 1875 2-5 in beating Shy
Guy by just a head.
Papa Redbird Strong Finisher.
Papa Redbird went out in front
Of Lou JAG by length as they
rounded the clubhouse turn, then
improved his advantage to three
lengths at the half mile. Lou JAG,
with Jockey Nick Jemas going to
the whip, cut Papa Redbird's mar
gin to two lengths as they finished
the mile, but going into the turn
for home, Baird touched up Papa
Redbird a bit and from there on
every step gave him a wider mar
gin.
My Request got off third in a
perfect start, but stayed along with
Better Self down the back stretch
and the two never were able to
better their positions although al
ways well in front of Reborn.
Today's classic wound up the &c.
day Arlington meeting. The racing
scene shifts to Arlington's sister
track, Washington Park, on Mon
day for 31-day stand with a con-
tinuation of the rich stake program

Car Crash
Bridgeville Man, S., Was
Driving Near Farming
ton When Fatal Crash
Occurred.

A 55-year-Old Bridgeville rural
mail carrier was killed and pas
senger in his car injured in a
three-Vehicle collision on Route 1S
near Pennington early last Friday.
ElWOOd GOrdy, cOlOred, was the
death victim. The crash marked the
fOrty-secOnd highway fatality in
the state for 1948, compared to "A
for the corresponding period last
year, according to Delaware Safety
Council statistics.
Herman Bradley, 49 years old,
GOrdy's brother-in-law, and a pass
enger in his car, was first treated
at Milford Memorial Hospital for
cuts on his head and face. He was
later placed under care of a Bridge
Vile physician.
State police said drivers of other
vehicles involved in the accident
were oliver G. Cross, 43 years old,
of Philadelphia, and Leonard D.
Thomas, "a years of age, of Nor
folk, Va.
There were no immediate details
on the collision, which is still under
investigation. Police said, however,
that a station wagon driven by
Cross was approaching GOrdy's
nOrthbOUnd car and that Thomas
truck was behind the station wa
gOn when the smash-up occurred.
GOrdy lived on the Brown farm
near Bridgeville, and Bradley is
foreman of the farm.
GOrdy, police said, was on his
