Llllis as the two made the turn for home, he would have won. There is no question as to that, for Iochares lost several lengths by the mishap.

Just before the winning line was reached, Leochares bored over on him. Uuues was in between Chiclet and I.eochares and was crowded out. Hauberk and J. J. Lillis were added, starters.
