was on Maltbie. In fact, never Tttefore
had there been such a tremendous play
4 an imnortant race on a borse that

the suscentlble racegoers and the vast

The . two leaderc were running In the

were being outpaced at that early stage
and the way King James was running
it was apparent that he would run oyer

trailers but not too far away. On the
back stretch Arasee began .to weaken
and at that of tha pole King James
shot Into tha lead. Lee was hunching
Dorante and luckily waa able to get
clear sailing -on tha rail, passing three
or four horses. As Araaee dropped back
Dorante crept closer and oloser to King
Jamea. On the far turn Lee had
f lenty 'of roam to take tha outaida and
hus have the advantage when hooking
up with the' leader tn tha atretch He
elected,. however, to take the short out
on the Inside on the heaviest going.
Turning- for home King Jamea waa run

from thai rail and was tiring rapidly.

the three sixteenths pole. . ...
From there home It was a ease of
horsemanship and Dugan showed him
self Lee's superior. While the grama
struggle was on tha crowd hardly
breathed. One jump It .looked as
though Dorante would surely get hla
nose in front, then in the next Dugan
would fairly lift his tiring mount to
keep the scant advantage. King James
had gone down to the heaviest going
and Dorante was pinned In on the ralk
It was at the eighth pole that alleged
interference occurred. . , t , ,

line match has been- pulled
off here but from one to nve or
six challengea have been hhrled at the

Outside of " Strangler Smith, Whom
O'Connell flattened on the mat several

f lven a chance. O'Connell hasn t. passed
hem up with the admonition "go get a

the color of their coin. No atage money
for Eddie. No alree. He has been in
the game too long -for that. When a
wrestler wants to meet the Multnomah
Instructor it Is coin, first, last and all
the lime.. O'Connell Is perfectly fair
with the public in the matter.. He be
lieves In giving- them good matches or
staying off the mat was for this
th.t nt nf fared and still agrees
to meet any of them in private for a
side bet of from 1260 to 81000. But eo
