Champ, on Harry Bennett, had not
crowded him into the rail.
Klondikc Casey got tangled up in the
rush on Ida Woodlands, but got even
on Nordan as he played him in the pool
rooms in Dawson City,.
The talent was very much in evidence
today. They were in line in every race
except one. 90, !
Ike Hackleburg had Il swell bet on

did he over beat Tlemargo?
Those who backed Rocbuck to show,
were very confident as the horses were
going down the back stretch, as he was
ten lengths in front of the fourth horse,
but he stopped as if shot by Eddie Pur-
