disposition on the part of = number of book
makers to lay against this horse, possibly
because they expected to see him get away
poorly. But AZ q matter OF fact very few of the
really smart players wanted Jack Akin at
any price. In the clubhouse there we're
practically no beta on him. while Suffrage, on
the other hand. was in demand. When the
barrier went up Jack Akin did not break at

Nicol finally got him away and the colt logged
along many lengths behind his field. while
the crowd gave vent to loud bowls and cries
Of distress.
The stewards. r. r.. Hitchcock and W. s.
Vosburgh. had Nicol before them In the star
chsmber before the Jockey had time to put
on his street clothes. They asked him to
explain why Jack Akin did not leave the
post Nicol said that the colt simply refused
TO break and then sulked. Whether there
will be a further Investigation or not cannot
be said. but the fact that Nicol was even
questioned is encouraging. Suffrage opened
at 5 TO 2 but did not receive the wise backing

Bud Hauser OF 6oldnsld made the trip

little regard for the speed ordinance that he
swept past several bicycle policemen. who
iclsphoned to the track to have him arrested
