iAdy Amelia finds much favor. Thoy be-
Isve that she will rule the choice over the big
Ben strome gelding. and that she will be
onenAd At about 4 to s. just why this opinion
prevails IL hard to understand, but the e1-
perts say that Roeeben cannot outrun the
6ect Ben Brush mare and that he has
never been able to win when . competitor
has raced with him on even terms into the
atrotcb, In fact the wise men are inclined
20 believe that Roseben- has q yellow streak
And that Lady Amelia will prove this assertion
when she hooks Vp with him. It h also set
forth by the admirers OF Lady Amelia that
RoSeben. because OF the heavy weiente ne
has been carrying. will not be able 20 show
the usual remarkable turn 81 speed in his
race. They point out the TACT that Lady
Amelia has always been practically invincible
on the Ora w track. and that she has
not had so much racing this year as the Ben
etrome gelding. Trainer Joyner Is con-
fsdent that Lady Amelia will win the title OF
champion s~printer. He says that she has
never heen extended. sven with heavy bur
d,ps. and that with 133 pounds. q package
that lust suits her. she will surely outrun
Rceeben from the start. Joyner insists thst

win by coming from behind. A talk with

with Ed Ball in the second race. after taking

he replied With a grin. Ross rode Berkeley,
Cederstrome and Little Blue tn other races,
but they did not amount 10 much. McFadden,
