Gallant Fox To
Have Real Test

CHICAGO, July II. W.H--Gallant
Fox. the "wonder horse" Of the 1880
season. faced a new kind of test to-
dav as he was prepared by Jockey
Earle Sande for participation in the
$40 900 classic before $4,000 persons
at the Arlington Park course tomor-
row.
The Fox has proved his mcttle on
hard, fast tracks and has performed
well as 'mudder" on soggy
courses. In the classic he may run
his first race under blazing mid
west sun with temperature wei.
above 90.
Backers of Gallant Fox and
Sandc apparently had little fear
that the heat would impair their eff
ficiency or cause the Fox to sulk.
Odds on Gallant Fox were , to 5,
with the probability that he will
be an even greater favorite by post
time.
Many turf fans recalled, hOwev-
or, that Gallant Fox displayed
some temperament in the Dwyer
stakes, the last race in which he
competed, and that Sandc resorted
to the free use of the whip in the
stretch. They said that if the
present heat wave continues, Gal
liant Fox may be even more sulky
in the classic.

and goes down for the count.
The main event, friends, ought to
be n dandy. Both Ramon Montoya
and Jimmy Black are veterans OF
the boxing game and know their
stuff. Montoya is well known here
in the valley and has made a class"

We just can t stay away from the

pointed if it does not pan out ac-
cording to specifications. Tiger
Flowers and Kid Mexico are The two
stars appearing in this act, and
while their bout will not be along
scientific lines, it will afford plenty
of action, the heavy artillery kind.
On the strength of his victory two
weeks ago, the KID ought to repeat
tonight, but, tonight g different
night and if the Tiger keeps up the
offensive he started in the first
round of their last meeting he may
take the Kid for a sleigh ridV
Anyway, the fight will be worth
watching.
lIagar has his trusty right all

when he sinks ii into Kid Reyes
