losings back anyhow Rnsinante opened at
even money, with Rosornonde at TO ana
NapamaX at As or some such matter
when, just before the race, the poll
tcian joined US a little grassy knoll in
the infield he didn't appear to be unduly
excited
I've gone to Rosnante for $1,000, he
told us. Root along with me-.
"Rosinante and Rosormonde got away to-
gether their toes and one blanket coulo
have covered the pair of them for the hrst
five furlongs, with Napamax, who dion
like the going, trailing. The two leaders
slapped down the first five furlongS in less
than minute, and it looked as If one or
them would soon have to crack We all
figured that the one to crack would be
Rosinante.
The politician stood at the top of the
grassy mound with his field glasses on the
pair and he wasn't saying word.
AT the far turn the unexpected thing
happened. Rosormonde blew, chucked It
altogether. and Rosinante put the daylight
between him and the contender in a
twinkling, breezing into the stretch alone
Rosormonde logging it at every jump.
when that happened we heard sort OF
gasp behind US and looking around We
saw that the politicians glasses had fallen
out of his hands to the grass and that he
had both hands at his eyes as If he We're
dizzy. Before any of US could jump to him
he had fallen at full length on one side Of
the mound and then rolled heavily down to
the level ground.
HE was as dead as a doorknob when
Rosnante crossed the line ten lengths to
the good and Rosormonde nowhere.

TALES OF THE TURF
The Deadly Excitement of Winning.

He was up behind George Wheelock's
cashier to collect, when he suddenly reeled
and. before anybody could more than break
the force of his fall, he was stretched on
the floor of the ring as dead a nail They
found identifying papers on him and
Wheelock sent the amount Of his win to his
people In St Louis.
over at the Empire city track the other
afternoon bunch of tUrfmen fell to talk
ing about this Huntington incident in
which the old colonel made his final cash
In after filling his royal flush.
Il don't know by personal observation
how II works TO poker" said Billy
Snow, never having seen q man die in
poker game-without being piped out by a
gun in the other fellows hand, that Is;
but I've seen enough Instances of II on the
race tracks to be convinced that it is a
sound theory that winning hurts excitable
men more than losing. To put it in an
other way, the strain on the big winner is
heavier than the tug on the big loser.
I've seen men make tremendous losinGs
on race tracks -losings that meant the
whole down-and-out thing - then-and
the only one Of these that I ever knew to
die was man who was ready to die, any
now, from consumption.
"Ou the other side, I've seen at least
half dozen fellows some of them husky
tracks in the very moment Of triumph after
having pulled down winnings such as
they'd never dreamed of before.
1t may be that this is because most race
n
they are TO winning I know that in my
own case the excitement following a tidy
win. especially an unexpected one, IS
heap greater than the excitement conse-
quent upon u big lOse-out.
THE most remarkable case | ever saw of
u quick Cash-in following a big win on
race track was that of Club Rinkie. a we'll
known badge horse owner and tout on the
California tracks. three winters ago at the
Ascot track in Los Angeles
The game at the San Francisco tracks
had been breaking bad for Club for o, good
mauy years for the track detectives had
got after him for tOUting, and for two
years he was kept out OF tn SanFralc!sco
track grounds altogether. Upon his solemn
promise that he'd flag the tOuting end of
IL he was allowed TO enter the Ascot track
at Los Angeles on his badge when the win
ter racing began there three years ago.
But. as touting was Clubs stronghold,
q track he wasn't doing thing, and he
was all but bum when fortune came
along and hit him a wallop that knocked
him smack Into the next world.
This occurred on the day when old Cele-
bration COPIED his mud race with the open
ug price of lop-played down to 30-against
him. Celebration, at that time, after his
long campaigning, was plug that couldn't
travel fast enough on q usually dry, fast
track like Ascot 20 keep himself warm.
But lie was 'Awkin's 'oSs in the mud. al
though that fact was little known around
the Ascot track. for they don't have much
mud there, and Celebration had been out of
the public eye for long time. anyhow.
The field that Celebration went up
against that day was made up Of the real

al cases when it does happen the Turf Asso-
citation always makes good all losses
But if the cry of 'Welcher'' goes up on an
English track. prepare for trouble. Battle,
murder and sudden death generally follow.
As everybody knows, q gambling debt is
illegitimate. so the mob's only recourse Il
to take Its moneys worth out of the un-
fortunate mans person. They knock him
off his box, tear his clothes to pieces, beat,
KICK and trample on him. and unless he is
rescued in time by tn police they are apt
to finish him altogether The authorities
are on tn" alert to prevent such things,
and as soon there IS a sign OF trouble

Saratoga's Famous Dead
Heat.
By @. C. Pettus.

Saratoga's dead heat last week between
Hyperion and Bonero, and the subsequent
"muddle' that ensued, through alternate
announcements of q run off and a divide,
drew out lot Of adverse comment at the
expense of the stewards and their lack
of backbone in not compelling the two
owners to adhere to their first decision
of a run off. following the precedent set
before in cases of this sort, that horse
men cannot be allowed new agreement
after they have made one already, espe-
cfally where, as in this case, July ten
minutes had elapsed before the first de-
cision was reversed.
1t was the first dead heat of the present
racing season at the Springs and caused
no end of excitement and discussion, as
to whether the stewards should or should
not have allowed their good nature to
predominant over precedent, and no end
of confusion in the betting ring, where
thousands of dollars wagered on the an
nounced and bulletined run-off had to be
returned, and the original wagers to win
split In half, while place and show bets
were paid in full.
There are more veteran horsemen at
Saratoga this summer than for number
of wears, and most of them had some
thing to say about the occurrence. Stand
ing on the lawn in front of the stand
met q knot of these old-timers, composed
of G. B. Morris (seventy-two), Jacob Pin
Gus fseventy), who trained IroQuoiis at
EPSON when he won the English Derby

Jockey owner and trainer of widespread
fame. and Sam Laird (eighty-two), VINO

"Rooter," bug" and Fan"
From Everybody's

1t must, indeed, be admitted in all JUS
tice that although photographers have not
as yet devoted their acumen to the subject,
there does exist nice distinction among
the terms "rooter,'' bug" and fan" Any
one may be a rooter If he attends base
ball game only once In lifetime and yells
A bug. too, need not be a steady patron;
his chief requirement is ability to quote
data and statistics dealing with averages,
games, and players. But the fan! He IS
as far above the others as mahatma
above a coolie To him base ball is sleep,
meat and drink It becomes a fetish. Hav-
ing passed through the stages of rooter and
bug the soul of a fan frequently achieves a
Nirvana that enables him to express untold
passion by a mere eye-glint. Again, he may
elect to roar He IS the sublmation of
base ball fervor, getting out of 1t all there
