Duffy nodded "Aiid that's the

chuckled suddenly and tossed a
large envelope over to Clark. "Old
Carlos White was in. He says the

grinned. "And say, ! believe I'll

shrug of helpless amusement,
Clark got in the car.
Carlos arguments began before
they were out of the alley and
lasted right through dinner. Clark
endured them politely, till after
the cigars, then rose, and made
his excuses. He had to see land

Seven Hearts
Is Last Away
But First Home
BY LEWIS n. WALTER

Last out of the gate but first
home.
That was Seven Hearts, the
undermining son of Grand Slam,
as he churned down the stretch
TO capture the $1,000 st. Aubin
Handicap for his fifth victory of
the year at the Detroit race track
Saturday.
Seven Hearts looked best before
the race 10 the crowd of $4,000
which established him as the Odds
on favorite at $40. Then the
chestnut colt from the Brown
Hotel stable of Louisville proved
them right by overcoming a slow
start with a burst of speed which
carried him past four horses on
the upper turn and kept him in
front 10 the finish.
An energetic ride by jockey Pat
terson Milligan brought Seven
Hearts, under the wire a length
and three-quarters in front of Jack
L. Meningitis fast closing Eugene,
which was last on the back stretch
after attempting to bolt into the
gap near the start.
Two lengths in the rear was
Sea Marriage, from Mrs. Frank j..
Navin's Tall Trees Stable with
third money by three lengths over
T. d. Bulls o. X. Joe in the field
of eight.
Eugene, which was ridden by
Jockey Eddie Franklin, deserved
almost as much credit as the win
ner for his great finish. but Seven
Hearts triumph established him
as the best two-year-old OF the
meeting.
Seven Hearts ran the six fur
longs in lila 2-5 and paid $3.50.
$3.50 and 50 across the board. The
Mcknight eHtFyLef Eugene and
0iy Rebecca paid $500 TO place
M.20 10 show. The show price
on Sea Marriage was $500.
Seven Hearts beat one less foe
than scheduled. Just as the field
was getting set in the starting
gate Wise Paisano. IS 10 shot
from the stable of Frank f. Childs
crawled under the gate and ran
away for three quarters of mile
before outrider Bob Morris could
catch him. The stewards held up
the start and ordered Wise Paisano
scratched, with refunds TO her
hackers.
Samborombon, the South Ameri-
can bred boss and Johnny Adams,
the nations leading rider gave the
crowd two-favored handicap win
ners in row by taking the 1000
Teata Handicap.
The big horse which won the
$4,000 Frontier Handicap. was
never worse than second To his
stablemate. Warrigan, and took
the lead on the upper turn 10 win

GREAT PILES OF
TIRES TURNED IN
BY MOTORISTS

The announced refusal Of the OPA
to back down on gasoline rationine
brought a great flood of tires from car
owners during the past week. The
Great Falls express office was
swamped during the past week and
it is understood that other cities had
similar experience as car owners de-
layed until the very last moment in
turning in their extra tires.
The OPC has been given authority
to ration tires and 1t Is understood
that the intention is TO keep all cars
on the road and retreads and used
spares win be provided motorists who
need them. Hundreds of thou
sands Of new or nearly new tires were
turned in and it Is estimated that
around 100000 tires viii be made
available for use Of civilians, which is
expected to keep all cars running until
such time as the tire factors begin
turning out war tires made from the
scrap rubber provided by the great
scrap rubber drive
Many people thought up to the last
moment that the threatened gasoline
rationing, especially in the west was
merely to force people to turn IN their
spare tires. Registration for gasoline
rationing was completed in Montana
on Nov. 1890.
