NEW ORLEANS, La, January 26.-The
disqualification of James Reddick, which
finished second in the Merchants handicap
at the Fair Grounds today, proved a veri-
table wndfall for bookmakers, for the horse
was carrying a fortune of place money at
IL to 2. Telling, owned by j. II. McCor-
mick the favorite In the betting at O to D,
won the event by one and one-half lengths.
James Reddick managed to stave off the
Englishman, bea ting the latter by head.
Van Dusen. who rode the Englishman,
claimed that James Reddick had crowded
the Englishman into the rail at the head of
the stretch. On this complaint the judges
placed the Englishman second and Ath-
letic third Mortiboy fell at the half-mile
post. but both horse and rider escaped
injury Don't Ask Me, the only other start
err. never figured heavily in the betting.
De ORC and Emergency were scratched.
Lady Navarro at Long Odds.
Lady Navarro was returned the winner
in the third. No figured that the FL
lsOn mare had chance to win. and she
went to post begging at 10 to 1. Dargin
was the even-money favorite, and was
steadily played. Blackburn, from the sta
bles of j. j. Oges. was also well sup
to II to 1 at post time. Blackburn at
tempted to make runaway race of it,
and after showing the way until well up
into the stretch, faltered and Lady Navarro
and Grace George joined him. The trio
had ii out to the finish, Lady Navarro
securing the verdict by head on the post.
while Grace George was the same distance
i'm front of Blackburn AS for Dargin. he
was never serious contender, and finished
in the ruck The finish in this event was
the most spectacular of the afternoon.
Killing on E. M. Fry.
Barney Schreber's two-year-old colt E.
N. Fry was the medium of a killing in the
second race, which was the first four-fur
long event of the season for the juveniles.
So confident were those who have the
handling of the Sain colt here that he
would win that they backed him down from
) to to even money at post time-in fact,
the play was general on E. NJ Fry, which
is named after st. Louis friend of Barney
Schreiber's.
Seder got E. NJ. Fry OFF well, and raced |
him to the front. In the first furlong he !
opened up gap of three lengths, and re- |
manned in front until the finish was reach |
ed getting home length to the good.
