IA he began fiding in match races
in the Western States. He travelled
from town to town riding horses for
men who would wager their horses
could beat any other in the vicinity.
His granddaughter, Mrs. Closson
P. Holley, with whom Mr.. Davis had
livea for the last Is years, said he

| horses.
It wasn't always the cast-off racer
however, that Mr.. Davis salvaged
Once he made a winner of a horse
that six months before had been
part of an undertaker's stable and
had pulled a butchers delivery
wagon in Kentucky. He bought
t"Mike" for $50, changed his name
Ito j. C. Core, after an old friend
and won three straight races.
Another horse which he owned
and trained, Nash Cash, was sale
to have set a record for running
three-eights of mile, Mrs. Holley
said.
During his three-quarters Of
century in racing circles, Mr.. Davis
trained horses in Kentucky, Cuba
and Canada.
His interest in horses did not
dwindle after his retirement in 1882
His granddaughter said he kept VI
on horses through books, radio ant

the original version of The Face on
the Barroom Floor" died last night
in Bellevue Hospital of injuries suf-

Poet, lecturer and one time leath-
er merchant, Mr.. Titus never estab-

died in 1925.
The version by Mr.. Titus was pub
lished in the Ashtabula (Ohio) Sen
tinel in 1872. Repeatedly he wrote
| 1900 poems but had small financial
success with them.
His widow, Mrs. Elizabeth Pfeid-
erer Titus, said they had been liv-
ing in Florida for thre years and
