CONFIDENCE IN REIF CAMP. Xew York. April :;o. George Reif and his jockey. Stanley Page, departed for Kentucky supremely confident that Fighting Bob wUI bent Charles B. Harrisons good Planuses colt, Waldo, in the Kentucky Derby. Page is as confident of winning as is his hos. "I know." he said, "that Fighting Boh does not figure to have a chance with such a celt as Waldo on last seasons form. Waldo could beat him doing anything last summer. But Fighting Bob. always u slow beginner, had to do his racing in short sprints, in which he left the barrier all tangled up and was beaten before he had traveled a quarter of a mile. The Kentucky Derby route is one mile and a nuartl I. Vtohtiaa Bob will like the distance ami be is the most improved horse vou ever saw." If Fighting Bab makes simhI in the west it is the int.-ntion of Mr. Keif to bring him this nary with Maltbie. winner of the Empire Citv Handicap last season, and his other horses.
