In Fox Stake
The Widower and Kate
Grattan Also Backed in Fair Feature.
The Fox ' Stake for 2-year-old pacers, one of the most valuable of all state fair racing events, is the feature race on the afternoon card of four races at the Fair Grounds
by Doc Parshall, Ohio reinsman, is the favorite although many are backing the Eastern colt, The Widower, while others like the Dances of Kate C. Grattan. The field is evenly matched in the 2:13 trot with Purling Brook, Miss Scott, and Guy Scotland favored. A good race is expected in the 2:26 trot with such starters as Man of Action, Balbo, and Grace McElwyn. Case Ace still remains the favorite in the 2:24 pace, the fourth and coneluding race on the day’s program, although Doctor Grattan and Little Pete also have strong support. In yesterday's races only one event was forced into an extra heat. In the Horseman Futurity for 3-year-old pacers, Frisco Dale, with Walton up breezed home first in two straight heats. Although Lindale led at the quarter in the opening mile, and Emmamite was in the lead for the first half of the last mile, Frisco Dale forged to the front each time. The best time was 2:04%.
Palin Wins Two Races
Vesta Hanover, driven by J. DougIas, ran the best race of the day in the 2-year-old trot division of the Horseman Stake, finally winning in an extra heat. Promotor, the favorite, failed to live up to expectations and came in second. The feature race of the day, the Governor's Stake, the 2:15 ftrot, was won in straight heats by Streamline of the Hotel Baker Stables with Sep Palin handling the reins. Prisco Watts was second, and Linworthy, third. The best time was 2:05. The veteran Palin piloted another winner, Lone Ace, in the third race,

Daughter of Former Champion -Rallies to Defeat U. S. Titleholder.
FOREST HILLS, N. Y. Sept. 8 (U. P.)—Dorothy May Bundy of Santa Monica, Cal., defeated defending champion Alice Marble of San Francisco, 1-6, 7-5, 6-1, in a
“| quarterfinal match of the National |-
Tennis Championships today. This was the biggest tennis upset of the year. Miss Marble lost out after she had match point in the 10th game of the second set. Miss Bundy, daughter of May Sutton, first American woman ever to win the All-England title at Wimbleton, fought off that point and went on to win with one of the gamest rallies ever seen on the courts of the West Side Tennis Club. The 24-year-old titleholder, in the final set, was helpless in the face of the withering attack and impregnable defense put up by her chunky opponent and folded completely. Miss Marble, wearing her traditional jockey cap, was superb as she won the first set. , And, as he swept into a 5-4 lead in the second, it looked as if the battle was over. But here Miss Bundy, eighth in American rankings: and famous for her first-round victory last year over Mrs. Sarah Palfrey Fabyan, settled down and played the best tennis of her short but brilliant career.
Big Crowd Stunned
A crowd of 6000 sitting in cool, clear weather in the huge concrete stadium hardly believed their eyes as Miss Bundy broke service for the first time in the match and leveled the issue at 5-5 in the second set. Miss Marble led 40-30 in that 10th game, one point from victory. The champion sent a shot into the net and the issue was deuced. Then she slammed one into the net. The next shot was sent well over the baseline and the games were deuced. The fight which Miss Bundy put up in that game was nothing compared to what she did in the 11th. She carried the champion to 20

Idaho Plans to Drive Elk to Better Grazing
BOISE, Sept. 8—No elk hunt in the history of game preservation in the Western United States is comparable to the one now being staged in the Selway Preserve of northeastern Idaho and which lasts
until Nov. 30.
It is a mercy hunt in which 1500¢
are being permitted to invade the sanctuary where 15,000 or more elk have been grazing peacefully. The hunt was arranged by W. R. McIntyre, state game warden, due to the fact that unless the elk are driven out of that particular area into lower grazing land, the huge | ht herd will be decimated during the rigorous winter months. The area in which hunting is permitted comprises 2,000,000 acres, but when heavy snows set in this dwindles to 150,000 acres of possible grazing area and has narrowed down to 60,000 acres, according to McIntyre. With possible winter range of only 60,000 acres, and that covered by brush and shrubs which are leafless throughout the winter, hundreds of elk starve to death each year. Huddling together in an attempt to keep
warm, herds plod over the snowcovered ground searching for something edible.

winter. The plan is to reduce the herd by permitting 1500 hunters to shoot one elk each, thus reducing the ranks of the animals so that there will be enough fodder to go around during the frozen months. The mercy hunt not only is expected to provide hunters with sport but at the same time substitute sudden death for starvation for the game. Authorities are confident that the hunt will drive many of the elk into other areas where winter range is a great deal better. Emergency permits were issued by the Idaho State Game Department.

‘Trapped By ‘His Signature!
The body of an evidently murdered man was found in a small community in Alberta. A check-up revealed that his last companion had been Charles: Bullock, a miner. He had disappeared. No one knew or could accurately describe the man. The only clue to his identity was a scrap of paper bearing his signature. Sargeant Hetherington of the RIN.W.M.P. set out determined to find him. For months Hetherington haunted mining camps, travel ing over half the continent. Finally he found a handwrit ing similar to Bullock's on a payroll in Montana, although the name was different. Convinced that this was his man, the "Mounties" placed him under arrest. Cornered, Bullock confessed the brutal murder, saying, "| always knew that the Red: Coats would get me, even if it took years.”
