MOTHERS TACTICS WON
VICTORY FOR TEMACEO

NEW ORLEANS. January 23.--Jockey
Notter's faugh- ballagh tcicar the
road tactics nearly caused an accident
in the Tulane selling stakes wnile he
was riding Temaceo yesterday. but it
resulted in q victory which brought
his employer. Charlie Ellison. nearly
$4,000 The stake was worth $3.50
This event should be called the "Ru-
bicon" stakes. for it meant a great deal
to Ellison. He had arrived at the
point in his finances where it was
quite necessary to recoup his previous
losses. When the rain came and
changed tlfc track from fast to slow
Ellison realized that the means had ar
rived by which lie could accomplish
the betterment of his fortunes He
had the medium in Temaceo. for that
horse is one of the best MURDERS" in
the country.
Ellison told Notter that he he'd Il big
bet down and to take no chances. Not
ter is bright enough to realize n certain
condition without the necessity of hav-
ing it pumped into his head. and he
inferred from EIlisonS contiding in
structions that it was quite necessary
to do something out OF the ordinary.
His sole idea in the matter was to edo
the other fellow" for by such action
he would have much the better of the
consequences. lie did not stop 10 con-
unfair advantage. but he did it-and
got away with ii.
Lucky to Escape Accident.
1t was sheer good luck that no horse
was knocked down in the rough and
tumble fight for position which took
place in the run to the first turn. Pas
adena, Plantland and Miss delaney
were used like tennis balls and were
knocked hither and thithcr. Notter's
desire for a good position could not he
curbed and he simply swept his op-
ponents. out of his path Then, with
his object attained. under vigorous rid
ing, he kept Temaceo within striking
distance of Sally Preston. the pace
maker. until the homestrctch. and then
rushed on to the winning goal. Tc-
maceo was first by four lengths with
Angelus. Sally Preston and Pasadena
following in the order named, heads
apart.
Another man who reaped small
fortune through the change III the
weather was T.. W. Hcffner of Sleeps
head Bay. His horse, Lord LoSat is
such great runner in soft going that
his stable swipe has often declared
that he dreams of mud at night and
neishs for it i'll the daytime. This
horse had not earned oats in many
days Heffner had been biding his
-
the opportunity and backed Lord Lovat
from to l down to > to !. In "A stir
ring finish Lord Lovat got uD IN time
to win on the post by a half length.
In the early stages Of the contest he
had trailed No Quarter, the pa cemaker
until the homestretch.
The hackers Of Al Muller We're de-
prived of their bets because OK rode
an ill-judged race. OFT made entirely
too much use of his horses speed dur
ing the first five furlongs. lie forced
him to the front and opened {, gap Of
five lengths. This exhausted the horses
speed to such great extent that in
the last hundred wards he quit igno-
niniouSly, and Lens challenged and got
up in time to land the money for his
supporters, at to l.
