JACK RATTLIN WON HANDICAP.
Long Odds Against the Good Splinter
Who Stayed u Route.

Chicago, July iS.-In a marked reversal of
form Jack Rattlin. at % to /, won the
Wheeler Handicap at Washington Park to-
day over a heavy track. The race was the
feature Of the closing day of the meeting.
Like most of the fixed events it proved to
be big upset. The winner was never con-
si1e-cd as likely to land. and was not given
the slightest attention in the betting ring.
Jack Rattlin won by head. Gold Bell
made game bid at the end. and would
probably have been first with a stronger
rider than Reed. The winner ran last on
Friday TO poorer horses than he beat to-
day. Jack Rattiin led all the way. The pace
was so SLOW that the race was turned into
sprint at the end. Jack Rattlin is purely
a Splinter, and Won for that reason.
At the head of the stretch Jack Rattlin
had lead of three lengths. Both Gold Bell
and Flying ship closed On him. but could
not catch him Lucien Appieby. the favo-
