TOUCH ME NOT FOR LAT0NIA FEATURE XEW YORK, X. Y., September 5. Touch Me Xot, son of Celt Dainty Dame, by defeating Grey Lag in the Lawrence Realization on Saturday at Belmont Park, jumped into the limelight over night as a formidable contender iu the Latonia Championship, lie will be trained with that valuable race in view, trainer James Rowe announced yesterday. The upstanding Celtic colt proved a big disappointment last year as a two-year-old. He is a big chestnut witli a blazed face and white stockings and made such a handsome yearling that he was bid in for the Greentree Stable by Mr. Lawrence Waterbury for 2,500. He won one race last year the Great American Stakes at Aqueduct Iienting Hroomspun and others in a stirring finish. This year he has won three races one at Havre de Grace, one at Saratoga, and the Lawrence Realization at Helmont. Touch Me Xot, incidentally, is the only one of the high-priced yearlings of 1919 which has, tJ date, justified the high price paid for him.
