this year with Colonel Bidwell and Bernie Hayt. The 

 former was an ex-member of the Cox stable where 

 he failed on account of his owner barring hopples. 

 A change brought out the regulators and Johnson 

 won fifteen races with the gelding. Colonel BidwelFs 

 only defeat was recorded at the Readville Grand 

 Circuit meeting. On the trip through the Bay State 

 Circuit and at the fairs Johnson also won five races 

 with Bernie Hayt and four with the there-year-old 

 gelding Mr. Hoover. The roan filly Josephine Sharpe 

 was his most formidable rival. 



Joe Johnson won thirty-one races in 1921. This 

 was one more than appears after the name of Sep 

 Palin. The latter opened his campaign at Findlay in 

 May and kept going until the grooms were compelled 

 to break the ice on the water buckets at the Cleve- 

 land overcoat meeting. During the season he won 

 with thirteen horses. His leader was Walter K. He 

 won seven races. Of the others Galli Curci won four. 

 The Hoosier Lady, Kokomo George and Wanda May 

 three each, and Abbe Hal two. 



Vic Fleming won twenty-five races with twelve 

 horses in 1921. He made his first starts on the 

 Ontario tracks where he won with Belle Coronado 

 and Royal Dundee. A trip to Michigan and Ohio 

 followed prior to the opening of the Grand Circuit 

 at Cleveland the first week in July.| Fleming's card 

 for the season shows that he won four races with 

 Belle Coronado, four with Logan Hedgewood, and 

 four with Uriko, the latter taking a record of 2:02i4 

 when he landed a coup at Columbus in September.
