stand their watch at saratoga there are the whispers about the fortune arnold rothstein the gambler may have hidden some place before he suddenly departed from this earth most of the veterans here knew him some of them only too well and too sadly and they doubt whether his estate could possibly have been as small as the records show it is not that they suspect any living person but they knew arnold as he was a closemouthed close mouthed fellow 1 who early learned that you seldom can go broke when you have aces wired so they sit and wonder where those aces the reserve fund the stake for another day can be some of them will whisper that there must be close to worth of cash or easily negotiable securities awaiting in some safe deposit vault for an owner who never will return they those veterans who knew arnold so well and sometimes so sadly say that would have been just like him to rent the box under some assumed name and then trusting no man to keep the secret locked forever in his own mind some confide that this cold suave man who knew broadway so well that only once could be be persuaded to venture more than miles a away w a y from it that was when he be had bad the pleasure of viewing the 1919 world series preparations of the reds and the hitherto well laun iaun sered white sox would never have given a bank such a break rothstein nd n d they whisper that he must have hidden this in which they believe so implicitly some place on long island but the evening grows old along with such vague wanderings wonder ings and man eater kercheval lieval dun dug 0 grave with his teeth there is the tale of kercheval A popular horse in the west thirty years or so ago he had won the burns handicap then one of cali fornias most celebrated turf events but perhaps success went to his head or it may have been that he was a bad one at heart to this day men will argue about that but the facts in the case are plain Her kercheval cheval was a man eater at first he be merely nibbled at his stable boys and since those free and easy horsemen of another era 1 ably figured that there was no accounting for tastes no nobody took that seriously soon not even the biggest helping of oats or the juiciest hay that money could buy could tempt him half as much as a nice bite out of a customers arm even in an era tor for jaded appetites this was a trifle too much they wanted to be fair though and so they gave him another chance it was no use like anany a man who lets temptation run away with him Her kercheval cheval was determined to dig his grave with his teeth so one afternoon after he be had slashed off 00 most of a ladys bonnet as well as too feet of hair and some scalp they decided that there was nothing else to do kercheval was indicted and tried in due form by the sovereign state there was much that could be said in his favor because as has been mentioned he was a horse with winning ways so they deliberated dell berated those twelve good men and true and then r returned e with the verdict of course there were other alternatives open to them even though they deemed him guilty beyond doubt but the thing was new then and the west ever has been a section given over to novelties besides there may have been those who noted a wicked gleam in the eye of this horse who stood in the crowded court room with probably never a worry as to where his next meal was coming from I 1 do not know about that though I 1 only know the facts in the case and they are plain while kercheval looked longingly at the fat foreman the verdict was read ak kercheval had bad been sentenced to be electrocuted and these are the tales that are told in the evening NOT IN THE BOX SCORE pie traynor was so burnt up when his pirates dropped a recent game fame to the dodgers that he
