The way some Of the Wise bookmakers
took liberties with PeTyerse While the betting
on the Ga2elle Stakes was under way yester-
DAY caused a lot Of gossip. First they put

the line rushed muscular commissioners.

Who were not In the know with $500, o. 900
md 5000 wagers. The plunge created q
panic in the ring and Flip Flap was sent to
the post a / to 2 favorite. Jack Bennett, her
owner; George Langdon. John A. Drake. A. B.
Hudson and. In fact, all the clubhouse players
bet on Flip Flap for as much "a the ring would
tccept.
II was estimated that nearly 800 900 was
placed on Flip Flap by the wise ones, while
the public dropped a fortune on Perverse.
Il was one Of those cases which we'll illustrate
the propriety Of following the smart money.

The ring won hea Willy on the defeat Of Ark
lrta In the fifth race. When Miller. who had
the mount. discovered that he had drawn an
outside position. he declared that he did not
believe the colt could win. But the money
vas placed in the ring with a lavish hand.
Ed Peters, however, had Right and True
ready for a mild killing and 1t went through
~ clean as a whistle. Right and True was
ridden by John A. brakes boy. Garner. and
H the horse Is one of the quickest breakers at
the post Garner did not have to make q move
after the send of. Right and True was
backed three ways all over the ring. but only
with small wagers. Nearly all OF the rail
birds had a piece Of the good thing. and they
received the horse as he rolled home with
wild acclaim.
Oscar Lewisohn's Yankee Gun, a chestnut
colt by Yankee-Royal Gun. hence a half
brother TO the great race mare Gunfre. was
backed of the boards in the last race. John
A. Drake, Jesse Lewisohn. Dave Johnson,
Frank Farrell, Sol Lichtenstein and the COM
bined clubhouse bet thousands on the colt,
who ran a smashing good race. But Robert
Tucker and his friends thought that W. II.
Browns Elfall was able to win and they wag-
cred a big bank roll on his chances. Tucker
had 81, 900 on Accountant in the handicap, the
wager being placed by Bill Porter when the
odds had gone UP to 9 to S. Accountant, by
the way, ran a fine race considering the weight
that he packed. He gave seven pounds to
Pater, fourteen to Jane Reddick. twenty-one
to Samson, sixteen to Vino. thirty-one to
Maxnar, th!rty-seven to Cederstrome, forty
to Garnish, thirty-nine to Brookdale and
tventy.four to Confederate. If Garnsh had
won the ring would have lost a bunch, as he
was played from 80 down to 10. Pater burned
up . wagonload Of wealth In this race. The
plunge was of such proportions that many
books laid against Accountant TO their sorrow.
as the public stuck to the latter without losing |
confidence.
George wheelock and the Shields family
torched The ring with Al Powell In the first
race, in spite of the fact that Mexican Silver
on form stood out In bold relief as the prob
able winner. Fred Eshner. who believes in
sure things, went all over the ring betting a
chunk on Mexican Silver a place at 1 TO 2,
and VII en- the Pa get two-year-old failed to
get any part OF the money Eshner was seen

The Pinkertons were busy looking for o
