BRIGHTON BEACH. July zO.-TTain-
er William Garth. who was the reign
ing sensation at Benning !ast spring. is
greatly In evidence at Brighton just
now.
The other day he put Hyperion over
the plate at nice odds and yesterday he
pulled of two more real good things
in Bound Brook and Bobbie Kean. Garth
had 5000 vagers on both Of these
horses. while they also received the
backing of some OF the shrewdest play
ers at the track Bound Brook was pur-
chased at auction last fan by Garth for
a paltry SIS. He formerly belonged 20
Alex Shields. but went wrong Ia races
on the fiat and was passed up by the
Canadian as Of no account. Garth patch
ed him up. schoOled him over the jumps
and had him nj and ready for yester-
days steeplechase.
He opened az c to l, generally speak
ing. although one bookmaker. out OF
line, put up GO to 1. and took small
wager at that figure. Before the bet
ting ended Bound Brook had been beat
en- down 10 3 to /. and even IA 20 IN
some Of the tighter books. He eNperi-
enced some difficulty in taking the Oh
stacIes, but Terry made him stand up
and he won in brilliant yle.
Garth Was Confident.

LogistilIa was concediug eleven pounds

ators did not feel that this was too
great a task for her. So Logistila,
opening al 4 10 8. was pounded down TO

the money was placed on Bobbie kean

up again to 1 10 8.
H A majority of the critics We're inclined
10 place the blame for Logistillas de

with tossing the race away through

who gave credit TO Jockey Bell for
