Fullum, who owns Lois Cavanagh
Grindstone and several others, is GER
tainly in hard luck, as he played every
race for the past three days and the
horses always finished a notch fur
Their back than he wished for.
His last bet was on Grindstone,
which he was so confident would win
that he grabbed up all the 10 to 1 to
win and to 1 to place in the ring.
Grindstone was sideways when the
barrier was released, but Harty per-
severed and, after getting in several
pockets. finished third. Would have
won easily with an even break.
Micolo says somebody is his hoodoo,
for If it rained soup he would be out
with a fork. Cheer up, Micolo; better
days are coming, and the Derby will
be run next Saturday.

NOISY RAGS
CAUSE ROUT
NELSON AND KELLY CHASED BY
BUSY BULLS
kddo Dalton Has Laugh on Partners
When He Retires from Field
Unmolested-Too Much
Scarlet

Publicity is a good thing, all right
but Bat Nelson's idea of it almost sent
in hurry call for the coroner yester-
day. Perhaps it is only a fondness for
the fire department that causes the
Battler to sport a flaming red shirt
and equally guady sweater jacket, but
II it is, these danger signals are all to
the bad.
According to his usual custom, Bat
attired himself in the big noises be-
fore he left the lakewood for his road
work yesterday morning, and coaxed
Henry Kelly into DOMINIC a similar
uniform. Kiddo Dalton, too wise for
such a display, bundled himself into
the old gray sweater and said nothing.
The morning air was fine, and the
trio rambled on up the lower road clear
around Monrovia. On the way back
Bat decided that he had enough of 1t,
and in order to reach the hotel more
quickly jumped the fence and started
to cut across a field.
Dalton and Kelly followed, and they
were all in bunch when Kelly hap
pened to look around. BEAT it, boys!
Beat it!' he yelled, and started on a
Colin for the other side of the lot.
Bat also cast a languishing glance
over his shoulder, and then he, too, lit
out. Dalton didn't take the trouble to
rubber but kept right along with Bat.
what is it, Bat?' he finally asked,
but Nelson refused to answer. The
Kiddo took a look for himself, and
then turned on full steam. Right be-
hind him were two docile looking bulls
with the docile all gone
The bulls kept right on, and Dalton
tore off at an angle. Strange to say,
neither of the bovines took any notice
of him, but went after Bat and Kelly.
who also turned on the high speed and
reached the fence just in time to escape
goring.
And then Dalton showed his game
ness. Without taking the trouble to
call them pet names, he rushed up to
| the bulls and walloped them with a
club. They didn't even make a move
to hook the Sphaghetti cham a return
swat, but went on their way as though
nothing like fight had ever occurred to
them.
Dalton was unable to even jog the
rest of the way home, for he was too
busy laughing at Bat and Kelly. de
| nex' time youse guys come out, don't
| bring none of them danger flags wit
| vouse, OATS ALL" said the Kid, and Bat
and Kelly are thinking of following his
advice when on the morn
| ing run.

program, brings out only four starters
but they certainly are an evenly
matched lot. Rip Rap should have
won the last two-mile race if he hao
not been interfered with. At that he
was beaten only two lengths by Big
Bow and Mamie Algol. Livius finished
like a bolt of creased lightning in his
last race, and although he has never
gone the route he runs as though he
likes it.
The sixth race brings out mixed lot
the best of which will probably fight
1t out at the finish. Alma Boy is the
unlucky horse at the track, as he fin.
ished second a number of times. Stony
Lees last race was a grand effort, as
he was away badly Badly Used ran
yesterday and will probably be
scratched today. Rubinon will have
Preston in the saddle. Rama ran in the
mud, which he does not like, on his
last out.
Seventh a Split
The seventh is a split of the sixth
and bad lot go here. Airs will have
Burns up and has the light weight adj
vantage BAIL will have the clever
little apprentice, r. Martin, in the
saddle. Foncasta ran a good second
to Ell Cazador his last time out. Pep
per and Salt is one the ladies favor and
the same may be said of Silverskin
as both are gray in color.
The program is undoubtedly the best
of the season and Secretary Smith S
efforts should bring out close finishes
in all the events. The California hand
leap alone is worth the price of adj
mission
