Piker and Tout At Fair Grounds Track Bet Ring

The piker bets on Snowdrift and Love's Labour, cashing small winnings while a shady tipster hawks a lucrative but unreliable forecast.

Two Games Too Much for Managers in Race Results
Ten elite baseball managers including McGraw and Collins rely on a trio of pitchers with frequent appearances. Collins uses Young Dineen and Tannebulan in the box, while McGraw's trio includes McGinnalty Mathewson and Taylor, with reserves Wiltie Ames Gideon and Winters.
