There were quite some doings yester-
day when an attempt was made to put
over a good thing that would have made
the ring take the count had IL been sue
cessfuI. When Gwyn Tonpiins' Tena-
koe was disqualified for foul iE the sec
ond race a regular old-fashiCned killing
was nipped. Tompkins has had this one
under cover for a long time, and yes
terday was the day to cut the string
In the big field OF seventeen starters,
the boOkies entirely overlooked Tena-
koe, and all sorts Of odds were laid
against the colt In the clubhouse Temp
kins got down a good bet at 81 10 l. J..
Evans the well-known gentleman rider
and owner Of AlamansOr, got SIS straight
at SO to J. and $50 show at 10 10 I. Out
side 20 10 ! ana 10 10 1 ruled and the
little party IN the know plastered the
ring with money at these odds. One
Baltimore sport stood TO win $500.
II was mighty tough luck that the
Tompkins party did not collect that
juicy place and show money. The
sweTve in the stretch for which the
stewards disqualified Teuakoe worked
nc harm. Il impeded Omnipotent, the
winner, for a moment but the horse re-
covered and beat Teuakoe out mas
much as no harm was done and no
other horse was affected. il would have
been equitable to have allowed the race
90 stand as the horses finished. The
stewards. however, plainly within their
rights, chose 10 carry out the letter Of
the law even IL they viOlsted its spirit.

the Philistines. and with anything like
