One combination Of men lost $500
on Nat Kramer.
old Santa Claus gladdened the
hearts of those who bought the field in
the pools.
Several sums of money changed
hands on bets that 2:lTA would not be
beaten.
Favorites lose as often as they win.
The rank and file of pool betters won
pile OF pin money.
The lunch stands and milk depots
did land-otlice business.
TITS said that about $4,000 changed
hands on two events.
THE GAZETTE heard OF three bets,
aggregating $4,000.
A warm dispute sarose in the last
race as 10 whether the inner or outer
track should be used, Kramer favoring
the first and the other two horses the
latter, which was finally adopted. To
this circumstance the friends of Kra-
mer largely attribute his defeat.
Phyllis was driven by Mr.. Charles
Waggoner, her owner, who bred and
raised her and has driven her in every
race which she has made. 1t Is need
less to say that he Is very happy

Everybody acknowledged that there
