BON|DREI WON
SIXTH RACE

The Bonidrei, representing the Bos-
ton Yacht club. came in first in the
sixth race for the Quincy cup yesterday
at Manchester. and unless a protest
entered against the Bonidrei by the
Chewink VII is sustained, the cup,
which has been in the custody OF the
Manchester Yacht club for six years,
will grace the sideboard OF the Boston
club, the Bondrei having won three
races OF the series. The protest Is
based nthe claim OF the Chewink that
she called for room at the windward
mark on the first round OF yesterday s
race and that the Bonidrei refused to
yield II to her.
Four Sender Klasse boats were en-
tered originally for the cup. the AUX

CANS IS
ANGRY

There has been trouble brewing in the
Gans-Nelson contest. Cans has not been
satisfied with the selection Of Siler as
referee. and for a time II looked as
though he would forfeit the 5000 put up
by him and withdraw from the fight but
he at lats consented TO go into the ring
He is earnest and means business, but
he feels that he has not been treated
fairly In the articles Of agreement. He
wanted complimentary tickets for his
relatives. but was turned down. He feels
sore because the representatives Of the
Goldheld Athletic association have not
been TO his quarters TO see him train.
while all OF them have been TO Nelson's
quarters.
Cans realizes that a negro's presence
means a difference even in a mining
camp. He has reduced his weight TO 1924
pounds. and instead OF exercising yester-
day he hired an automobile and went to
Tonopah. Nelson keeps at work and is
preparing TO make the battle OF his life.
He feels certain of success, but general
opinion favors Cans.

PLUNGERS WINNING

The bookmakers al Saratoga received
another financial drubbing yesterday af-
ternoon. Three favorites, two second
choices and third pick were the winners.
Every horse that finished first was heav-
lily backed, and conservative layer said
that the ring lost 100000 on the day.
The bookmakers have lost regularly
ever since the meeting began. Racegoers
have picked the winners and In nearly
every race some well-backed horse has
won
The meeting began with 2O5 bookmakers
on the line. Yesterday 25 dropped off and
today 20. making 45 I'm all. Scarcely a
bookmaker has escaped without a big
shrinkage in his bank roll.
The professional turf spectators, such
as Leo Mayer. Charlie Cash and Charles
Henry are the principal winners. Mayer
Is credited with being $4,000 winner He
has backed several OF the long shots
which won, and has picked many other
winners at good prices.
Cash has not been so fortunate with
the long priced horses, but nevertheless
has won a small fortune
Langdon is another man who Is credited
with being a winner, but much OF his
winnings undoubtedly belong 10 John A.
Drake. for whom he frequently places a
commission.

The heavy condition OF the track was re-

Gallavant was made a slight favorite.
The fact that Miller had the mount had
much to do with this. The two horses
broke we'll together. Tiptoe took the lead
and showed the way by a length and al
