COOKS YEARLINGS PLEASE PHILLIPS. New York, October 12. William Phillips is back from Kentucky. The chief trainer for Fred Cook, who went to the Blue Grass state ten days back to superintend the breaking of Cooks yearlings, is back. Phillips says Cook has some swift youngsters, and he predicts that they will make their marks next season. Shortly after the departure of Phillips for the west an epidemic of fever broke out in Cooks stable which prostrated Johnnie Blake and Lawrence P. Daley. Phillips found upon his return that the epidemic had been conquered. Phillips has changed his plans for the disposition of the stable of Fred .Cook over winter. Instead of retiring Lawrence P. Daley and Johnnie Blake immediately after the Aqueduct meeting he will take them to New Orleans and race them. He will nominate both colts for the Derbys at New Orleans, and the one that happens to be best over a distance of ground next March will start. Unless Henry Brulatour and Alfred Hamel take-Notasulga to Now Orleans and put her in the Derbys Johnnie Blake and Lawrence P. Daley will be the best horses in those three-year-old races on eastern form. Lawrence P. Daley is the best of the Cook pair, but Phillips says that C. J. Cella, a son of fcem-pronius and Laura Ethel, can outrun them both. C. J. Cella cannot win a race because he bleeds. He has bled in both his recent races.
