4 ii then would make Coffroth go to
work like an honest man and make an
honest living.
Mel Lawrence is a bit overdue with
his string, but it is pleasing to note
that he at last has arrived. He and
ComstOck have not only a fine ordi-
nary string, but they own one of the
finest breeding farms in the state, and
they will show a few more good year
lings after the turn of the year, when
they will be 2-year-olds.
Pat Murphy, whose ancestry can be
traced right back to Donnybrook Will
cast his colors before the gaze of the
public again when the bugle blows less
than ten days hence Pat knows about
all there is to know about training
horses and if he has a platter that can
run at all he will make a stake horse
out of il in short order. Even If he
has to show few form reversals to
win a purse or a stake the fans VIII
not make any "holler's as Pat stands
pretty well with the gang.
Hen Berry again failed in his efforts
at defeating Jack Ripper and myself
in the second game of the match series
at aforementioned billiards, which he
played last night at Berry's parlors.
The score stood 80 to 81 at the end,
Ripper and Davidson being on the long
end of the score. This makes two
straight games for the winners, the
opening game having been won at JEFF
fries & Kipper's parlors Monday night
by the score of 80 to %. Quite good
crowd of interested followers of the
sport attended the play last night.
While Berry made several remarkable
shots and ran five at one time, ne
could not stop the steady click of the
worries that mean points for the VIM
ners. At the twenty hole he was two
points to the good and played steadily
himself, but there was too much class
against him-sure. There are two
more games yet to be played and Berry
confidently predicts that he will yet
win, as total points count and he
thinks he can overcome the 4ead OF
eight that is held by the winners. The
game tonight will be played at Jeffries
& Kipper's parlors and will start at 8
O'Clock.
Twelve yearlings, the property of w.
o. B. Marlborough, and bred at Or

every interview with the phrase, Don't
