The San Francisco Examiner speak
ing of the mile race won by Sleeping
Child says: The books chalked up 20 to
as the opening price against Sleep
ing Child, principally because he was
ridden by Fell, an obscure jockey.
Quite number of people who thought
that was a very false price nibbled at
1t, but so confident were the pencilers
that he had no chance that they Of
fered 30 and 40 to 1 against him. His
owner made no secret of his belief
that the horse would win, and just be-
fore post time there was a rush ITO get
aboard. Favory was the odds on IA
vorite. with Sooladain in a very strong
ly played second choice. Sleeping
Child lay third nearly all the way

not be for lack of talent that THE meet
