Presa & Pia: San M i fhow BERGER. f JABBGED Boe FITZSIMMONS.- 0900068 266-664 * BY JAMES J]. CORBETT. Sam Berger is a comer. He boxed with me while I was training for Jeffries, and he gave me all the fast work I needed. He is like a cat on his feet and has a lot of cleverness. I never saw a better boxer among the amateurs. If he fails to beat Rodenbach for the championship I am a bad prophet. HANDICAP HORSES’ WORK AT GRAVESEND 10-DAY 0341-2, easily; W. Fisher, trainer. MOROKANTA—A half-mile in 0.61, gal- loping: J.

Conceding, therefore, that the contend- ers, Dolly Spanker and The Southern- er, were not interfered with, where was the justice or equity to thousands of people who wagered their dollars on Eugenia Burch? Of course, the stewards seek refuge behind the old excuse that they do nat recognize betting. Of course they don’t, but the racing associations do, and they are perfectly willing to take the revenue from the betting ring and put it in thelr strong, boxes.
