JACK WITT WINS; —— Home’s Flip-Flop Gets Man Into Trouble---Silver Stock- ing Equals World's Record Atter the brilliant card of Satur Way the program yesterday, of course suffered by, comparison, but the large «crowd present neverthe Jess witnessed some brilliant per formances.

In view of these bad races, tmmediately after Jack Witt won the judges decided that they would accept no more en tries from C. B.

The Schreiber castoff won seven out of nine starts in the jun ale. es Owner Daniels was suspended when Jack Witt won, but Bookmak er Hughey Jones once more got away with it. On both occasions when Jack Witt was favorite and ‘was beaten, Jones lald the top price | fm the ring against the horse, and cleaned up a barre! of coin when! the nag was beaten. After Jack Witt won yesterday, “Red” Craw ford, Jones’ betting commissioner was busy cashing tickets behind nearly every book In the ring. Jones is popularly aupposed to be book ing with a “shade,” bot in view of recent events it looks to me like an awning. When Silver Stocking won the last race for H. G. Bedwell, it mark ed the first bet that this horsemai has won for a coon’s age. Silver Stocking stepped the first half of her race in :4625. This ts the fastest time that distance has ever been run in at The Meadows, Bilver Stocking is the second horse im racing history that ever covered five furiongs in less than : 59.

Everything I picked to win yester- fay could do no better than second pr third, until the last race, when Bilver Stocking, at 5 to 1, saved the ik roll of those who had been fol- my selections. Ask One-Two Three Martin about that white kitten that Harry Ander- son found on the fishing trip. Al Coney stood to win a small fortune on his colt, El Pavo, but Lady Quality beat the gate, and Al's bread-winner could never catch her.
