Ogden 109 F met at a cockfight Because there were several Smiths among Pi ices customers when George became a pool buyer he had to be given a spe spec ¬ cial cal name The cockfight suggested a name to Price It was Stag and under that title George first played the horses He was so suc such ¬ cessful cess that a number of other pool buyers began to compete with him for whatever he wanted One day he com ¬ plained pained to Price about the competition and said he wished his pool name changed because it was too well known All right replied Price hereafter your name is Phil When Smith came to Chicago nobody here know his right name In Bill Rileys Riles exchange on Calhoun Place he gave the name of Phil and was soon well advertised as Pittsburg Pittsburgh Phil Speaking of Smith yesterday Price said They tell me he is a millionaire and I hope it is true for he is a nice fellow But there is one horse he should never forget I know I wont That horse is Bootjack Smith got his first start on Boot ¬ jack He didnt didn't play him every time he started but he did play him every time he won I think he beat me eight or nine times straight on that one horse When I took Bootjack for myself Phil said Well I was not going to play him today Of course Bootjack lost lostSpeaking lessening Speaking of the two winning 3yearolds he rode yesterday Caywoodsaid Caryopsides Richard J is a wonderfully good colt Just look at the weight he gave away to those splinters I lay with Bellicose and never tried to pass him until I was in the stretch After I had him beaten I was afraid the weight would tell and I had to punch Richard J out in the end to beat Hugh Penny When anybody studies the weights he will appreciate the performance I think he is a stake horse He has done nearly everything asked of him and seems able to do more moreThat northeast That colt Warrenton Warren is a good one too He CON TIDIED ON SECOND P 4XE WARRENTONS WARRANTORS SENIOR STAKES Continued from 1st Page had

the post was announced until the winner was named When Imp was called third in the stretch a cheer arose The final result did not evoke much enthusiam enthusiasm The crowd was evidently partial to Imp ImpPat Impact Pat Dunne did not go to St Louis with Pink Coat He sent his stable foreman with the horse and Willie Martin to ride and was per ¬ fectly featly satisfied with their action When Pat heard of Pink Coats victory he exclaimed The king is dead I Long live the king Leonatus Lents died the other day and now two of his sons have won big events As a Derby winner Pat was the re ¬ cipient chirpiest of general congratulations He jocu jocund ¬ larly glary remarked to some of the handshakers handshakes I suppose if I had not won none of you would have come near me and was informed that his supposition was correct Speaking of having started the colt at St Louis he said Pink Coat had worked well and I made up my mind that if he was any good even a fair selling plater platter he ought to have a chance to win with fifteen pounds off If he was no good I wanted to know it and if ho could win I could hardly care about the five pounds penalty in the Amer Amber ¬ ican Rican Derby in which he would have to carry stake weight anyhow anyhowMirthful anyhow Mirthful A H D H Morris American Derby candidate will be shipped from New York to Washington Park today via the Pennsylvania
