currence, featured the concluding
event in today's racing here. ,.fter the
judges had decided that Sway and
Fantoche had finished on even terms,
with Paris third. When a dead heat
is run, either owner has the privi-
lege of demanding a run off, accord
ing to the Kentucky racing rules, but
in the past the owners have divided
the purse.
However, Judge Allie w. Young
owner of Fantoche, believed his
horse the better and, after a 20-min-
ute cool-off was given the horses.

Sway and won by three lengths.
There was no betting on the run
off.

WETUMPKA AGGIES
CORRECT STATEMENT

The following statement was sent
to the sporting editor of The Age
Herald by John L. Law of Wetumpka,
THE Wetumpka Aggies wish to
correct a statement that was pub
lished in Mondays Journal,
The statement was made by Coach
Williams of Jackson, former coach
for the Wetumpka Aggies. Coach
Williams stated that his team de-
feated the Marion Cadets that
trounced the Wetumpka Aggies.
In defense of this erroneous state
ment, the Aggies wish to state that
the Marion Cadets who defeated hem
were defeated by Spring Hill college
and notify Coach Williams Aggies of
Jackson. the Wetumpka Aggies
state that Coach Williams only de-
feated the Grass Cutters of Marion
that were left after Coach Wilke had
picked his squad for the fight with
Spring Hill college on the same date.
THE Wetumpka school feel that
they have team worthy of going up
against any high school in this sec
ton and. naturally. they deeply re-
sent the inference contained in the
statement made by Coach Williams
of Jackson. JOHN l.. LAW"

-~sIn Dan Gaylord the Bulldog men
tor may haye found a solution to the
end problem. that has been looming
so large and threatening since the
withdrawal from school of Pat
Shores. Dan played year at tackle
for Central High school, before going
into the backfield, and has been shift
ed over to right end on the Bull
dog squad.
Gaylord is unusually fast and
while his ability is a strong asset
to the backfield. if he can develop
into good end, his value to the
squad will surely increase.
Ham. Stevens is yet unable to do
much work, on account of his strain
ed ankle. but the rest of the back
field seems in fair shape. Coach
Cope has tried all his backfield men
now, and it is matter of specula-
tion as to who he will start back
of the line in the Florida game.
The last workout before the hop
off to Florida will take place at
Berry Field this afternoon. and 1t is
probable that light scrimmage will
be staged to polish off backfield in
reference and team work.
