AT New Orleans
Baur's Six-Year-Old Takes
Sprint Feature From
Rapid Day and Knot Grass

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. ST.. T.
Bauer's Tippity Witchet romped home
a winner in the Fairfield Handicap, a
five and half furlong sprint for all
ages. which featured the card at JEFF
ferson Park this afternoon. The six
year-old brown gelding, although unac-
customed to the shorter distance, ap-
peared perfectly at home and easily
defeated Rapid Day and Knot Grass
in the order named
1t was because the Bauer meal ticket
had not been sent over the sprint route
in long while that the public made
Rapid Day to 5 favorite. but She
latter was completely outclassed in the
heavy going and was timed in l 100 2-5
Tippity Witchet was loyalty backed by
the Bauer connections and paid 21s
to l.
The bookies are playing them close
and those few favorites that fail cause
no serious reduction of the bankrol1
but three outsiders squeezed through at
fairly comfortable prices. They were
Kate Brummel, at to i, which won
the opener; Ace of Aces, q 4 to l shot
which upset the dope in the third, and
Courlis, another 6 to / proposition
