pole. Bonner had his choice OF going in the
stretch. lie deliberately took the filiy into
the deep. slow going on the raI when & eS-
ing for the fast going IN the center OF the
track. Then he did not set her down until
she struck the final eighth pole. Walsh had
been blufiaE on Founding and had some
thing left when challenged
Boomers ride on Ethylene was very bad
The boy Is but little plantation negro and
probably is not and never will be a good
rider. Still Walsh is no Willie Martin
himself.
They say that since Bonner has been Try
ing TO abrogate his contract with his pres
erlt employers, he has not been riding
well. especially upon the horses of his sta
bic. This is hardly true. Yet II is certain
that the boy has not been riding as well as
he was prior 10 the time ne became els
satisfied with the conditions Of his seryl-
tude. a suspension of u month or SO miShl
bring him back TO earth
It has been said that kiss Quick has won
more races at n long price than any horse
about ST. Louis This is probably true She
is evidently in no danger of earning n
reputation as a short-priced winner. Strange
IL was that though she looked ike S-to-3
shot yesterday-and the race proved mat
she was. as lar as the apparent anIe-posL
con9encerS went-She went up rom : TO =

he seemed 10 be riding weakly At the

stride. No complaint coming on the ride

LoCis Wagner would be q 3-to-1 shot in
that field AIr. Maginn could not say Kiss
Quick beat Wagner in previous race
Then Wagner beat Hilee. Father Wentker
and -Four Leaf C. and II You Dare next
time out.
After the race It was plain that Kiss
Quick was 3-tc-5 shot as lar az Sinfi, OPP
tImo and Master Mariner were concerned.
10 one thought of Sister Sarah. save The
Republic. which tipped this 4e-to-l shot TO
be second. The Republic thus brought 3-to-
shot and 3 4e-to-1 shot within three inch
es of each other
Last week Kiss Quick beat Louis wag-
Ter easily: On Monday Louis Wagner beat
Hiiee. If You Dare. -Four Leaf C and Fa-
ther Wentker easily. Then Kiss Quick beat
E-ema and Miss Mae Day. and came into
the Stretch five lengths behind them. Yes
tsrday she could not ourrun Sister Sarah
through the stretch, Erema. Louis Wagner,
Father Wentker. Hflee and -Four Leaf C.
would have been 2-to-5 shots in this race
with Kiss Quick out Louis Wagner can
lose Sister Sarah. Kiss Quick can beat
Louis Wagner and Erema when she IS 70
