He Found It Dead Easy to Pick the Win
ner in bohemian Girl
Ed Fitz was idly toying with a stack
of silver dollars just after the first race
when the horse reporter hailed him.
Hello, Fitz What's on the slate to-
day?"
mot a thing; I'm rubbed out and lost
my chalk"
'HQys that, Fitz?" asked the horse
reporter.
well, it's this way: Your father has
been up against Frank McNeary's game
again at the Cave, and as per form book
got the worst of it again. It's like
smoking hop; once you get the habit
you've got to follow it up or cash in be-
fore the card is run off,
That's a weight for age show all right,
though, and wins out in a walk. The
band runs wide at the turns once in a
while, but they'll get over that after a
little"
what on earth are you talking about,
F1tz?' asked the horse reporter in dis
may.
why, you cheap white chip player,
you, yourf fathers been touting you onto
McNeary's opera.
"Ohr' said the horse reporter.
you see, it's like this: THE name they
start the winner under is Bohemian Girl
There don't seem to be any particular
reason for the name, but 1t goes. The
little yearling is made a favorite from
the start and is stolen out of the stable
right in the first heat. The starter gets
him off with a gun instead of flag, and
he takes two or three water jumps with
the kid up in great form.
Then you miss out on the race while
the field Is going up the back stretch, and
you don't see them again until just be-
fore the finish. The kid has grown up to
be nice-looking filly, with a whole gang
trying to get her into their string 1t
must be selling race, cause they bid
her up clear past her entered price and
put her up in the stake class as soon as
the gate goes up
about the middle of the running she
makes "a strong bluff at the presiding
judge and wins on it. She had bought
in on ticket with jay that looks like
break between them, win or lose. Some
ticket is plony, and he calls the FLY up
to the stand to talk it over She starts to
tear up the ticket and cash in her own
checks, when the Judge takes a tumble
to himself and calls the little ringer Me
daughter and all that con talk. 1t goes
through all right, though, and they pay
off on the faVorite right away.
TITS like all those games they pull off
up there. The favorite runs in and out
and even stops to eat grass, but wins ev-
cry time in the end. They try to tout
you off with a lot Of stuff about marble
halls or hearts, and such rot but it's all
a bluff"
Fits Nemesis, George Munson, hove
in sight at this point and Fitz dropped
behind the box and got very busy.

NOT A SECRET BALLOT
Legal Opinion Rendered in the Salt lax,
County Election Case

Salt Lake, Utah. Nov II. County At
torney c. o. Whittemore this afternoon
handed down an opinion on the legal
status of the recent election. It declares
that the ballot was not a secret one as
defined by the provisions of the constitu-
ton, which are mandatory and prohibit
tory; therefore. the election itself is alb
solutely invalid, and Is, in fact, no cleo
ton.
The board of canvassers, however, IS
advised that it must perform its duty,
which is merry ministerial. and that the
county clerk must issue the certificates
of election required by law, unless ne is
prevented from doing so by the interview
ton of court of competent jurisdiction.
The opinion was delivered to the board
of canvassers at its meeting this after
noon. The opinion is in reply to a reso-
luton of the Salt Lake county canvass
ing board to the effect that the legality
of the election had been brought into
question, and asking that the duties of
the canvassing board be defined.
