There were too many hot

IF there had been any betting that
day, the play would have been on
Patchen Dillon and Mack Toddles to
win, with perhaps a nickel on Lovely
Lady. But there was no betting be-
cause the vice president. now known
for sense of humor, was then a
governor. known for an adherence
of gambling The race, therefore, was
for two things. The stake amounted
to approxim $4,000. of which the
winner was to receive $500, the sec
ond horse $1.400 and the third $500.
There was the first incentive. The
second lay in the fact that fast colt
trotters are always in demand among
racing men and breeders, and bring
high prices. White and Fox raced
to win and raced to sell to million
aires. Three-year-olds IN those Gays
sold for as much as $4,000 to $4,000.
Either amount buys a lot of oats to
raise a lot more colts to sell to more
miIlionaires.
The starting judge called the three
drivers to the foot of the judges
stand after they had warmed up their
mounts two or three times. Now,
boys, these are colts, and 1t may be
hard to get away" he said. But
we've got a long card, and this race
is three heats itself Let's try to get
off, early Fox. you're at the pole
with Mack Toddles, and White. you're
outside with your Dillon colt. Mr..
Myers. that leaves you in the middle.
Now, boys, let's CO."
The three logged up to the six
teenth post and wheeled to jockey
for the start. They turned three
times before they squared away and
headed for the wire. When they did
start trotting the three were on even
terms, Mack Toddles trud-!n- alon.

advice: Look wheah tn front is, men

Lovely Lady had not gained an inch
on the flying colts ahead, but she
had settled to, g. speedy, even clip
that promised to make up lost ground.
The boy realized he must force the

from being distanced in the first heat

On the other hand, he feared to rush
her too much and throw her into an
other break. He chose to drive

When Fox and White slowed up with
Mack Toddles and Patchen Dillon for
the far turn. Lovely Lady had cut, the
ten lengths down to four and was gain
ing rapidly. When they swung into the
home stretch the lead was down to two
lengths. At this point the gaining
ceased. White on the outside. began
his drive with Patchen Dillon. The big
sorrel colt pulled ahead for an instant,
but only for an instant. Fox. not to be
