on Cork Hill

First Appearance at The
Meadows
By ]. e. Jefery

SEATTLE. Aug 26.-Selling platers
of moderate caiiber held sway at The
Meadows again today and the racing
was featureless and devoid of special
incident. Blondy. Kruka and Cork Hill
made good as favorites, the ring re-
ceiving an especially severe scorching
on Cork HIPS victory. This horse.
like Kruka, was making his first start
of the season here. and was widely
touted as a cant lose" proposition
despite the secrecy with which his
stable connections had attempted to
veil his preparation. Backed down 10
s to from to 2, he made show
Jockey Koerner's handling of Fire
ball, the unplaced favorite OF the fourth
race, aroused a great deal of unpleasant
comment and judicial investigation
may result
Frank Clancy. at 10. and Dulcinea,
at 10, were the days surprises.
William Cahills speedy sprinter Sc
curity made his reappearance after
having been on the shelf several weeks
with. an injured leg. and his defeat by
Ida May was probably attributable to
untitness for bruising contest
Edwin L. Fryer resumed booking to-
day and several of the smaller fry
whose bank rolls had suffered severely
the last few days dropped out, leaving
"a books on.
Jockey Boland was reprimanded and
fined for rough riding and Jockey Rus
sell for disobedience at the post on
Henry Of Shennamere.
c. E. Durnen threatened suit today
against a local sporting publication in
which his name was used In connection
with a touting advertisement Sum-
mary:
