the horse SamJo to win the second race
at Delmar yesterday. Sambo was the i-to-5
favorite in a big field. Always a slow be-
airner, he was off last. He went around
his field, gained ground and seemed TO be
winning easily in the stretch. Battiste
had Louis Wagner on the rail. Samoo
was on the outside. Between Louis Wag-
uer and Sa.ubo were Fugurtha and Maggie
Clopton. AS soon as Battiste saw SanDO
show UP on the outside he deliberately
pulled Louis Wagner across the track 10
