Fireball Scores First
Win at Seattle
All Fav0rifes Are Beaten ard
Jim Neil Breaks Long Streak
of Bad Luck With Celeres
BY y. K. Jeffery

SEATTLE, Aug 1s-Results of The
Meadows races today were anything
but satisfactory from form stand
point, all the favorites being beaten
Two of them, Golden Oriole and Naga-
zan. might have won but for bad
racing luck, but the other four
Biondy, Johnstown, Orihamb and TO-
manoff-had scant excuse and sue
cumbed to superior horses NJ j. Hayes
Listowel benefited by Golden Orioles
misfortune in the juvenile race and won
as if back to his good FORM Jockey
Scoville's failure TO get Nagazam away
well enabled old FirebaA to score MS
first win of the meeting.
There was much good natured
chatting when Trainer Jim Neil broke
his long streak OF i'll luck by winning
with Celeres- The field that Celeres
beat was q very cheap band.

The weather has been extremely
close and oppressive for several days
