p LnIS story WoulQ never nave Deem
written.
One day not many years ago w. G.
Yanke, violinist of a San Francisco
cafe orchestra, had 81 and a. tip on a
horse race.
Ordinarily when man has one Of
those sure thing tips and a fond
ness for the ponies he-bets his money
and loses. t
Well, Yanke bet his two dollars on
his hot tip at 100 to 1 and--won.
This was YANKEES start. With the
5000 in his pocket he quit his job as
violinist to carve out turf career.
Today he is worth quarter of a
million, owns about the finest
string of thoroughbreds in this,
country and has the best jockey in
the land under contract. His shoe
string has grown to undreamed-of
proportions.
Whether Yanke placed his money
wisely or was just naturally lucky is
hard to say, but he began winning
and soon had money enough to "cut
in" with the bookmakers at the Oak
land track. .
Fortune continued to smile upon
the ex-vio1nist and he began to ac-
cumulate stable of his own, which
was soon rated with the best in the
West. He went East and continued
to buy horses and win races.
One of YANKEES charges is the IA
nous FLY, Round the World, now
retired, to be mated with Uncle, sire
of Old Rosebud, Miss Edith, Little
Nephew and other cracks which have
been sweeping the country clean in
the two-year-old division.
A year ago Yanke engaged Charley
Borel to ride for him, and today
Borel is one Of the best Jockeys in
the land.
While fortune has favored him
Yanke has never lost his love for his
old violin and often entertains the
