GOSSIP OF THE QUARTER STRETCH.
FouIinE of SambO n Feature-Notes of
the DeImar Track.

It was funny To see the way in which
the riders on Louis Wagner, Maggie Clop-
ton and Fugurtha went a. Sambo when
Dale brought him up to them In the
stretch yesterday. 1t seemed that three
boys ala simultaneously: "Nou big brown
brumby. What in thunder are you doing
here2 over the fence with you. pal" Then
they went at him. Walsh on Maggie Clop-
ton put all the holds on Dale and Sambo
double nelson, hammer lock and strange,
but Dale broke them all and managed TO
win. After the race a man lifted Dale's
was 4 big blue welt there.
He gave you 4 beauty" said the man
to Dale, abiding TO the crack which Walsh
gave him In the mix-up.
Well" said William. there Is always
a chance to get even on a rack track
Now il IS Dale's turn to try and put Bat
tiste and Walsh over the fence.
The funniest part OF IL all was that Bat
tiste move on Louis Wagner; He was in
close 20 the inside fence and SambO was
up against the outside fence when he saw
him Maggie Clopton and FuguTtha were
between them. Notwithstanding all this.
Battiste unconsciously pulled Louis Wag-
ner TO head SambO on 1t was like

questions that are decidedly embarrassing.

Judge Rees got very busy then and went
after Dade. He set him dOwn for the ride.
Gorman had Dade under contract. Some
one told Finn that German went to Judge
Rees On the quiet. ard told him that FIN
gave Dade waiting orders when he rode
Ogle. Some one close TO Judge Rees tipped
Finn on to the alleged "%dolngs'' Of Cor

did those things. It is only said that he
did them.
Dade made affdavits and Finn challenged

That is why Finn bid up Founding on
Saturday. Fin has money and German
has horses. II is said that a bird of Cor
mans cannot light on the Delmar track
without being bid up.
German Is 4 young Cincinnati man and
one OF the keenest turfmen in the West. He

good handler. He must pay a deal OF atten-

fully clever breakers. They never get way
badly. Bellew and German took a mint OF
money away from Delmar last year. They
started three horses here last week and
cashed each time. Two OF them walked In
and the other won cleverly.
Just why the jockeys were so anxious to
beat SambO Is not clear. 1t Is said that
several horsemen who had entries In the
race had crows to dine on with Doctor
Street. who owns Sambo for "doings' In
the old days. Some said that sometime
they had horses in with Doctor Street and
