The pluck that Is in some boys. and the
/ lack OF pluck there is in others. Is shown
/ by the races Sid Silver ran under Taylor
and under little Howell yesterday. Taylor
was great big bully Of a Kidding

that race then. Ada y. can beat Aladdin
twice day. going a mile: then beat him
mile heats on Sunday. She had to run
