Plunger Joe Yeager Makes a
Killing on ChrySitiS in
Clover Stakes.

GRAVESEND. June 8.-When Bar
dolph. a so 10 ] shot beat out the
odds-on favorite, Ascension, in to-
dav's opening event. the betting ring
contained a jovial lot of bookmakers.
when a horse is quoted at so TO it
means he is practically unbacked and
when a favorite runs second at odds
on there is but little money 10 pay
out for a place. So the race pracu-
caIIy meant a clean sheet for nearly
all the layers.
There was. however. an awful reck-
oning during the remainder OF the
afternoon. Four heavily backed IA
vorites and a third choice landed, SO,
notwithstanding the balance on the
right side of the ledger that Bar
dolphs victory gave the layers, the
boozmakers quit big losers on the DAY.
Joe" Yeager was 4 busy man dur
ing the afternoon. He tried TO make
q killing with Morris Haylnan's Or
rNodox and backed him heavily from
six down 10 one. He failed, however.
Next he plunged on Chrysitis IN the
clover stakes. Yesger was making
book to-day. but he laid no price
against Chrysitis. While he was busy
laying against Czaraphine, Incarnation
and Simplicity. his commissioners
were betting on Pierre Lorillard's lilly
around 10 /.
The victory Of Chrysitis only netted
Yeager about $4,000 in bets, but his
book had practically q clean sheet and
fl is estimated his total winnings were
clsse 10 sS5.0OO. Summaries:
