The half-mile dash had a bad look
Frank S. with Nichols up, was backed
Extensively overnight. The next day,
however. Loebenstein's horse was
strongly fielded against and at post
time there was still a cartload OF mon
ey to bet against him. The race was
"a reflex of the betting for Frank $
atrociously ridden and messed about in

sc ription. while Rejected is prob
ally better than generally considered
to be; the fact remains. however, that
the black horse got bad ride and one
which fully warranted "A thorough in
vestigation. Nichols rides on Abbey
and Dixie Land were both buffoonish
and this information will cause no sur
prise when IL is learned that Nichols
was sober at o'clock in the morning
and at noon lay dead drunk or drugged
