SEATTLE, wash, Aug. lI.-Ine
horse Jack Witt turned form somer
sault of such proportions in winning
the fourth race at The Meadows today
that the stewards summarily suspend
ed C. B. Daniels. his owner and trainer,
and all the horses in his stable. Witt
had performed poorly in his previous
starts here. On the strength of fast
work he was recently made 1 to IA
vorite in inferior company, on which
occasion he finished third. Today, CO.
incident with extensive ring support
at remunerative odds, he spreadeagled
good field in fast time, incidentally
running seven furlongs in 1:25 2-5 un
der restraint.
Daniels recently shipped his stable
here from Denver, and made big kill
ing with the year old filly Pert upon
the occasion of her initial start here.
Hardly a book in the ring escaped loss
on Wits victory today, and those not
in the know" were fairly stunned by
the horses sudden and startling i'm
provement.
H. q. Bedwell'S mare, Silver Stock
ing, in winning the last race of the day
ran five furlongs in :5S S-5, equaling
the American record made by Jack
Nunnally at Emeryville last December.
The choices Of the public failed to
fare as well as during the preceding
few days, all six favorites being
beaten. Three of them, Prestige, Pal
and Anna May, finished second with no
excuses. Ell Pavo, favorite Of the Ju-
venile race, was unfortunate at the
barrier and finished third. The re-
naming two choices, Herman Doyle
and May l. N, ran very poorly. Fast
work was responsible for the plunge
that made Doyle favorite. The judges

so, and Combury at 25, the latter a re-
cent arrival from Butte, were among
the afternoons winners, for which
there was scant support. Summary:
Weather clear; track fast.
