! his handieaps resulted in some of the
best contests ever witnessed by St
Loufsans Joe's tits with his man Fri
day-an old trotting horse fanatic-at
this meeting were some OF the most
| lauGhable ever witnessed race
course. The latter, however. had clean
/ record as far as making blunders was
| concerned, for at the end Of the meeting
| Joess diary showed that the trotting fan
| had never been right IN one instance, as
| lar as the runners were concerned. Joe
was tempted to discharge him at least a
dozen times. but his heart was too big
SO the plumbers continued until the gates
| closed.
