Against Reader Riley's undocumented challenge, TIME pits the word of Uneeda Bakers, Ward Baking Co., Cushman Bakers, Doughnut Machine Corp. and the Salvation Army that doughnuts have holes. Doughnuts made by Ward for the New England trade have smaller holes, but distinctly holes. In some communities, e.g. Cleveland, cakes-with-hole may be called either doughnuts or crullers.

First long-shot winner at Saratoga was a horse named Wee Tune at 50-to-1, on which bookmakers dropped some $50,000. Col. Edward Riley Bradley, who had 30 horses in his Saratoga string, got up at 4 a.m., went out to the track with "Bet Mosie," his personal betting commissioner, to clock workouts. Before the week was over, Col. Bradley had four winners to his credit...
