eled over the bay to Sausalito and took a shy
at the Eastern races. The poolrooms booked

mounted on some warm things" in the bet
ting, he could not manage TO get one over
the line in front
The gray horse Leader Ban, 10 to shot in
the rooms, was ridden by Slaughter. while
Dora Wood, the to favorite which finished
second, was piloted by little Jimmy Woods,
signed here by Barney Schneider just previous
10 his departure East.
At Louisville the winners were: Rastus
fretful, Humbug, Roundelay and Elsie NJ.

Green Morris put his horses aboard car
last evening and started for Detroit. Jockey
Spencer, on the sick list here for some time,
went along TO do the riding. With fair
chance the lad is the making of good rider.
On Tuesday of last week, at the st. Louis
track Barney Schneider made 'cutaway"
