KEENE RACING STABLE
HAVING HARD LUCK

New York, May Hard luck has
followed the racing stable of James
r. Keene- Influenza, brought on sup
posedly by quick change in the tenn
perature and the variable weather of
the last few weeks, has run through
about the entire lot of 2-year-olds in
the keene stable as Sheepshead.
Mr.. Keene has about 80 2-year-olds,
the pick of his breeding farm, in
training. and the effect of the sudden
sickness that has swept through the
young horses is likely to be a serious
handicap, as their training must be
interfered with at a time that may
keep them out of many valuable en-
gagements.
With the older horses Mr.. Keene's
stable was more fortunate, as the sick
ness has been confined so far to the
2-year-oldS.
Precautions have been taken to re-
move the older horses from the danger
Of infection, although the fact that
they have already been exposed causes
some apprehension.

good reputation here and also has
many followers who can't see how he
can lose. In this city in 1907 Williams
knocked out Jack Christy in six rounds
