CLEVELAND, O., July 4.-Phsllss beat
Maxy Cobb so easily to day that the men
who bet their money on the eastern stallion
feel that they did not receive the worth
their money. The race was for $1,000 q
side and S., 1000 added money, and the stall
lion crown. Phallss wears it, winning his
reward BY trotting fast first heat and q
faster half of the slower second. Ten
thousand people saw the contest which oc-
cupied less than two hours and was less in
terestiDg than was expected. Pool selling
was quite brisk opening at even money, but
an hour afterward Cobb had receded and
before the first heat Philas had
q steady call at odds OF
three to two. After the first heat, Phallas
sold for $50 to Cobb's SlS, and then betting
stopped. The Eastern and Chicago men
backed Cobb, and the winnings went to the
Phsllas party and local and Pittsburgh
betting men. Issdor Cohnteld, Cobbs
owner, is said to have lost $1,000. The
race was called at 2 o'clock, and at 2:4O

a start by breaks at the wire, evidently for
the purpose of firing Maxey. Cobb got the
