BOOKS ALL GOT
JOLTEO HARD
YESTERDAY

1t Is variOuSly estimated that ev-
cry book at the Interstate track
yesterday was touched up for from
$1,000 to $4,000. Soundly, J. ].
Ellerd's bay mare, did the trick
for most of the bookmakers. Sound
ly opened at 4 to / and the wise
ones made rush getting down on
her. She was backed steadily to
5 to 5, and then backed clear off
the boards for time. Then some
Of the bookies gained courage and
commenced angling like fisher
man. Their bait looked like l to
and went even at that price. On
account of his fine race before,
Beautiful and Best, the Montana
horse, was a favorite on the start
at s to 5, when when the tide turn
ed on Soundly John Bondy's horse
went begging at 21a to /. Bell Reed
was given considerable backing but
not enough to cause the book
makers to hedge his price. Little
Kirschbabum made heady ride
ON Soundy. Bell Reed got away
in the lead with Soundly taking the
pace and measuring speed. The
race was six furlongs and at the
half mile Soundly and Beautiful &
Best climbed up on Bell. After
passing it was easy money for
Soundly in a driving finish with
Bell Reed second and Beautiful &
Best third. Time, 1:16h.
Kirschbaum, by the way, made
a very suspicious ride in the pre-
vious race with Harbor. Harbor
was heavily played, as was also
Major Tenny. On account OF
Tenny's being owned by Harry
Green, the local racing magnate, he
got all kinds Of play towards the
last and was backed to to 5. Ma
jor Tenny won in a gallCplng finish
with Pickles second and Harbor
third. Time. LAG.
Sun Mark was the class in the
third race and the betting on her
closed at to S. She finished the
FIVE furlongs all in and was ready
to think it over. Mai Lowry would
have COPIED her in another eighth.
Princess Wheeler was third. Time,
1:03R.
Gemmell sneaked one over on
the talent in the first running race
of four furlongs. On account Of
Wnpnagootis' strong race at this
distance on Tuesday the talent got
busy backing the youngster. Judge
Skinner didn't like the looks of the
betting and went to the paddock
where the Jockeys were and read
RI the riot act. Tullett was ordered
off Wapnagootis and H. Smith
given the mount. Menden was also
heavily played. Gemmell at to
I won handily. with Menden sec
ond and Wap,/gootis third. Time,
so.

great improvement OF late. Yester-
day Lou Miller won beth heats of
the three year old pace, beating
EfIle La Mont and Zanthus, who
split second and third money. Del
Kisher was last in both heats.
Time, 2:26h. 2:291a.
They say that when Harry
Green's Royalty races in Seattle he
gets stage freight and makes holes
in Harry's bankroll.
People are commencing to take
notice of Billy Murry's calling. He
has a voice like the Il string on a
fiddle and yesterday disturbed the
baby in the midway incubator.
A. Brown won two more winners
yesterday and is now the premier
Jockey.
That canvas top on the judges
stand is a nightmare for those who
try to see the finish. However, If
we want good judging the judges
must be comfortable.
Joe Pickell still leads in the re-
lay race His saGiling is clever
and that is wher he has Smith, In
jun" Anasta, Stow ell, Wanata and
Fromm cheated.
