Rather, br. f, by Wise Pete Brunettes Preferred. Nobs Brother, b. c, by Flag Pole Snob-ling. Negopi, br. f, by Okapi Negofille. The two "babies" belonging to Mrs. A. M. Creech are: My Red, ch. f, by American Flag Sis Owen. Infantry Maid, br. f, by Infinity Torch Maiden. With the naming of the above half dozen yearlings the list is steadily swelling and only the schooling from the starting gate remains to be completed to make the youngsters eligible for an early 1939 campaign. Breaking the yearlings from the Louisiana Gate, which is used for the making of all starts at the Fair Grounds, was begun by starter John Morrissey, and classes are conducted daily, from 8 to 9 oclock in the morning, Sundays excepted.
