Leroy Doc) Andrews tale of the
Glenn Killinger Hoax" was one
we hadn't heard before. The tall,
bald, red-necked old tackle told it
in Kansas City recently while cut
ting up touches with Curley Lam
beau about the early, rough and
tumble days in pro football.
Andrew helped organize the
Kansas City Cowboys and was
their first coach. Later the Cow
boys blossomed out as the New
York Giants, but that's another
story.
Glen Killinger. Penn State ALL
American back, was one of foot
balls biggest names in the early
1920's. Not only did pro football
teams bid for him, but he was
good enough as a baseball player
to win a trial with the st. Louis

Tom Fool had only 12O and
Marcador Ill. Arcaro said it was
the weight that stalled Mark k-Ye-
Well, which went of the even

One Count copped the mile and
one-half Belmont, beating Blue
Man, and then beat Armageddon
and Tom Fool in the Travers' mile

Tom Fool probably would have
won if the distance had been a
mile.
Mark-Ye-Well and One Count

Mark-Ye-WeII Faces
Stiff Test Wednesday
After Loss al Belmont
BY the Assoeioisd Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 18.-The
opinion in Long Island horse
circles today is that Calumet
Farms Mark-Ye-Well will have
his work cut out for him next
wednesday in the $25.000 Law
renee Realization at Belmont
Park.
Mark-Ye-Well. making his
Metropolitan debut yesterday in
the $24,350 Jerome Handicap. was
beaten seven lengths by Tom Fool,
the Greentree Stables 1851 q
year-old champion.
But Tom Fool isn't the big fly
in the ointment for Mark-Ye-We
in the Lawrence. 1t seems the
horse to beat is Mrs. Walter M.
Jeffords' One Count. winner of
the 100000 Belmont Stakes and
the Travers. One Count wasn't
named for the Jerome.
Title Votes at Stake.
A lot OF votes for the 1852 three
year-old championship will be
riding on the outcome of the Law
renee, being run for the 60th time
over the rugged mile and five
eighths distance.
Tom Fool. winner of the Wilson
Nile at Saratoga last month for

handle mile with any Of them.
But he hasn't proved he can travel

The cowbird baby, and the starting
