plunger has appeared at Juarez in the
person Of Harry McCarty. former San
Francisco newspa per man. whose opcr-

100000. The young plunger occupies a
unique position at the Mexican track.

bettor who is a winner to any great ex-
tent on the meeting.
Added interest attaches TO McCarty's
remarkable run o. luck from the fact
that at the opening of the meeting he
did not possess enough money to buy a

fortune turned in his direction McCarty
has invested part of his winnings In a
