field into caup was SO ridiculously easy that it
made them look like the sorriest kind of selling
piaters. He shook Off those who attempted TO
dispute his way without apparently exerttng
hirnseE In the least, and set such sizzling pace
that hs made little old Race King run out at
the head OF the stretch. Knapp got the son of
Teuny straight again in few strides, but was
not aba to overcome the ground he had lost, and
