ARD: SATURDAY MORN
| fight with another stable hand. He was
getting the worst of the scrap when I
stepped in and pulled his antagonist off
of him. It didn't amount to anything,
| this. but the tank stable hand that was
waiting for me outside of the Dearborn
| street place in the rain seemed to feel
| grateful to me for it.
Hello, BILL said I TO him, what's
up?'
Got fired this afternoon. he re-
| piled.
Broker I asked him.
didn't hunt you up to touch you.
boss he said I got a good thing I
want to give to you. You've been
square to me- The good things to
come off Tomorrow, and nobody's on.
I'm peaching on it because I've been
dropped from the track Just for get
ting skate on, and because want to
me-
"'You can pass me up I told the
man. I don't play the sure ones, you
know
But this is ripe and it's going to
happen, persisted the man. It's a
baby. It's a looloo. It's a cachuca.
It's that FLY Maize Y. in the 2-year-old
stable she belongs in. 7 heard the chaw
about 1t this afternoon before I got
fired, and they didn't get on to it that
l was listening. Maize VS. going to
walk in Tomorrow, No dope, but she's
fit She worked three-quarters in :15
fiat early yesterday morning when mo-
body was looking, and she's on edge.
They're going to burn up the books
with it. I know that nobody can tout
you, and I'm not trying to tout you.
But here's a chance, and l came down
to let you know
We'll, of course | had to thank the
man, but | couldn't help but grin at
him at that
IS How long have you been rubbing
EN- DOWN. / asked
I've been around the horses since
I was 10 years old he replied.
And still SO easy?' I couldn't help
but say. Well. won't say anything of
what you've told me so as to queer the
price, if there's any play on Maize v,
but, Of course, as for myself, I pass it
up; thanks all the same to you. Need
any money?
mo, he didn't want any money. he
said. He had simply hunted me up to
put me on to one of the best things
of the meeting, and he shambled off.
When the books opened for that two
year-o1d race the next day. Maize ",
clean imbed fily that had never
shown a particle of class. opened up
the rank outsider in a big field which
included some very fairish two-year-
ODDS I locked the books over, not be-
cause I was betting, but just out of
habit, and I saw that every nag in the
race was being played but Maize ",
the $50 to l shot. ,r..
' If they're going to burn the bookies
out on Maize W. | thought amusedly,
it's wonder the stable connections
don't take some of this good $50 to L.
LAS I was thinking over this, the ex
stablenlan who haG hunted me up with
the Maize V. good thing the night be-
fore plucked me by the sleeve. He was
several times as drunk as an owl, and
| didn'. care to talk with him.
. Are you DOWN. he asked me, lurch-
ing. Because f you amt, you're camp
in out an that's all there is to it,.
$ Go and take a sleen, | told him,
and passed on. fBut he didn't want any
sleep. 1nstead,i he drunkenly mounted
box that he found in the betting ring,
and started tofmake an address to the
hustling bettors. ID
want to git aboard for the barbecue,
play Maize v! ashes going to be cut
loose. Shes to 10 chance. She's 60
ing through. It's. IA cinch'
THE crowd guyed him.
It's SO good, shouted the poor dew
il, that I just put the last So l got on
earth on her to win. Hey! I'm not
touting. I'm trying to give you all a
win-out chance. You needn't think be-
cause I ainfe logged out that I'm dead
one on this. Even If I have got a load
along, why
Just then, somebody, probably an
interested party, kicked the box from
under the man and he went sprawling.
That closed him up. The crowd roared,
but not a man in the gang, of course,
put down dollar on Maize V. If any
of the pickers had even a dream of do
ing such thing, the stable hands
drunken recommendation of the filly
switched them off. Just before the
horses went to the post the S. bills of
people that weren't pickers, but stable
connections. went into the ring in such
quantities on Maize V. that she closed
at a 100 to l in a few of the books, and
at much smaller figures in most of the
others.
well, the way that little filly Maize
V. put it all over her field was some
thing ridiculous. The race was some
thing easy for her. There was nothing
to it but Maize V. She got away from
the post almost dead last, and then
picked up her horses at leisure, revel-
ling in the heavy going, and. Looping
UP in the last sixteenth, walked in with
daylight between her and the favorite.
1t was one Of the killings of the Chi
cago racing season, and the books were
soaked to over $4,000 on S. bets.
That certainly is hard money to
lose, to say the least / heard poor Mike
Dwyer humble on the day that he took
l to Is on Hanover putting down s45,-
900 to win $4,000. and Hanover got
himself disgracefuliy beaten by Lag
gard And that's what l think about
| the Maize V. good thing-hard money
not to have on.''-New York Sum-
