A VICTIM OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY. A case of mistaken identity was responsible for "Red" Walker losing 05 at Latonia on Saturday. It all came about when P. M. Civill bid up Du-quesne 00 over his entered price. On Thursday Civill ran Garneau and won, and after the race Jake Marklein bid the horse up 05. At the time a fellow with auburn hair and a raincoat similar to one worn by "Red" Walker was standing alongside of Jake when he did the bidding. Jake was on the side of the stand toward the clubhouse, and when the bidding commenced Civill sent somebody around to see who was doing the bidding. The messenger reported that it was Marklein, and Civill took a look through the .glass judges stand for himself, but failed to get a good look. He believed it was "Red" Walker prompting Marklein and told Walker so that night, but Walker denied being in the vicinity. Walker was not near Marklein at the time and had nothing whatever to do with the running up of Garneau. Walker says he hopes red-haired people will not be in the vicinity of the judges stand when horses are being run up, for he doesnt care to be blamed when he is not doing the bidding.
