NEW YORK, June Joe" Yaeger's
luck is the byword Of the racecourse.
At Gravesend Yaeger has been making
the heavy plays that earned him the
title of ''plunger" The gOssips Of the
track say that Yaeger did not win a
cent less than 10000 yesterday.
This modest amount WAS won on
two races He backed his own FLY, MI
mosa, IN the first race from TO 1 down
TO 2 to l. and she won. He placed most
OF his winnings back at a good price en-
w. y. Jennings four-year-Old FLY
Dainty, which was ridden by the clever
young jockey Hildebrand. This rider IS
under contract 10 Yaeger.
No one. of course, can say the exact
amount won by Yaeger. But when a
plunger appears in front Of nearly every
bookmaker in the betting ring and asks
How much will you take?' IT Is pretty
safe TO assume that he Is not corhniag
himself TO the loose change in his bank
roll.
