Glenn Creveling is as busy as a pondside
hen with a brood of duclllings these cold
January days. The energetic Clementine
personally inspects the plates Of every
horse running at Newport to satisfy HIM
self that they are properly shod to run on
The owners got into the habit of running
them without being sharp shod when it
race. also of running them with sharp calks
in sticky mud.
Owners at Newport thought they had a
kick coming the other day when Jimmie

his allowing dogs in handicaps and putting
light weight on them. thus giving a $500
platter chance to beat 4 So 500 stalker

against the chance given the cheap platter
is the old desire to get sure thing to bet
on. Let four or five Of those good horse
