In two years she started eleven times, always finishing eleventh or twelfth. Wednesday, however, she went to the post a 50 to 1 shot and galloped to victory by a length and a half over nine rivals over a mile and a sixteenth route. She paid $102.38 for @ $2 place ticket, and $36.86 to show. — [SPORT SLANTS ; By ALAN GOULD BAY STATE FEUD Until Fred Wright lost a battle with the hailstones and his flyweight Kansas City opponent, Paul Jack- son, it appeared likely Beverly would furnish the battleground for an all- Boston debate between Wright, the |state champion, and Francis Oui- met.
