The morning call., 1891-10-05

be the champion at the great Chicago meet
ing. for which such vast plans are already
being arranged. OF course the Emperor
has fifteen chances to perpetuats his gr eat
ness; but The Hook, with nine Opportuni-
ties cannot complain of being sighted. es-
pccially as the class of matrons TO which
he has been mated is very high.

Rutherford - Glorltta. Nerano = Belinda.
Cheviot-Sania Anita, Janova. Aloha, Alta
lanta, Vicente. Volante-Lillita.
MAY RACE HERE AGAIN
There is also more than probability that
the black-jacket and Maltese-croSS cOlors Of
Santa Anita will be seen next season on Cal
ifornia tracks again. Manager Unruh thinks
that a string OF possibly twelve viii take in
next years circuits throughout the State.
III this be true 1t VIII be good news indeed,
as beyond question the class of thorough
hredS that have shown up In California rae
ing this year are Of very light CALDER. Any
second-claSS twO-year-Cld now at the big
Eastern tracks would have had mortgage
on every twO-year-oid race III California this
year, and when it comes to three-yedr-old
and upward events. outside OF Larry, Ac-
claim aud possibly Del Mar, Guttenburg
crab could have lost the lot over any dis
lance. or course, reference is had, not to
what went East from here and returned,
but to the screenings that remained here
after the Eastern season opened. Given
the same conditions next year as this and
the Baldwin horses that may race here
simply on their class ought to gobble up
everything.
THE 2:17 CLASS TRoT.
Next SATURDAY. the Breeders open their
fall meeting OF four days at the district
track and commence business with, among
other good things, q trot for $1,000 purse
for the . II class. Silas Skinner, Frank VI
and Wanda are already entered, and there
is every possibility that the new trotting
light Mckinney, who graduated from OBJ
scurity at Stockton TO 2:1712 honors, may
also be starter. The rules nave been sus-
pended to allow him 10 enter, and the
chances are that Durfee Will accept the
offer and show the public just how good
Mckinney is. But even il he does not 90
the rivalry between Si!as Skinner and
Wanda alone should make it the sensational
race Of the year
At Sacramento Skinner was in better trim
than the mare, while at Stockton the case
was reversed. With such vast back inter-
ests in the breeding line alone, such inter-
ests having been already fully explained in
the turf columns Of The CALL, the final
tIial should be great one. whether Eros
or Altoona Jr. be the better sire is not yet
settled, but next Saturday conclusive
answer will be had. With SINNERS we'll
tested gameness, split heats should give him
the best of the mare, who is thought by
some good judges TO have slightly evil
denced tendency to shut up when plnched.
With Mckinney and Frank NJ to drive her
out, Wanda will have hard battle to co
even as we'll as she did at Sacramento, and
even if she can stall these two off. there is
yet Skinner, with his staying grit, to reckon
with. The task to beat these three good
ones may prove utterly beyond her powers.
Next Saturday, however, will tell the tale.
GIVE THEM ALL A SHOW.
On Saturday, October oath, the Blood
horse fall racing opens at the Bay District
and will continue daily, barring Sundays
and Monday, the 18th, to November 7th.
The entries closed on the 1st instant and arc
reported to be very large. A full list will
probably be ready next Wednesday, as
many nominations from Montana, Oregon,
Idaho and Utah, known to be on the road,
have not yet arrived. Now that President
Burns ha, returned it might be in order TO
recall to his memory his statements con-
corning the alleged crookedness and job
beI les If the extra days racing given by the
association last spring, and how fervidly he
announced his determination to put stop to
any repetition this fall. He is now afforded
an opportunity to help in protecting the
public by declining to allow any one COM
bnation to control the exclusive privilege OF
booking a; the coming meeting If the COM
bination's plans are allowed to go only cast
iron odds need be looked for, whereas if any
responsible bOok-maker is allowed to 40
business reasonably fair odds will be made
and the public given chance for their
money. There are numerous, and, alas, far
too many other matters that President
Burns might also look after to make the
meeting a success.
UNLUCKY INKERMAN.
OF all the unlucky brutes that ever eat an
oat, Inkerman is surely the unluck e In
his class there is not an animal on the coast
that, on real merit, has the least license to beat
him at half-mile or five-furl0ng heats. When
fit ana well he can 60 half well under 40,
and yet how many brackets has he earned
taking this year alone? There's always
something that prevents his winning. Pre-
suming, and it may be stated here author-
tatively that there is no positive proof to
the contrary, that lnkerman has been out to
win every race he has started in this year,
his general non. success should make him
just the kind of horse that man would
want to present to his worst enemy. If the
worst enemy would run and back the horse
he would soon be pauper and permanent
guest at the Hotel de Weaver in this city
and county. w. b. Sanborn, Inkermans
owner, is well liked and respected horse
man, but if he keeps 1nkerman much longer
he will have to sue Inkerman for damages
to get even on the horses feed bill.
HoNEsTY's REWARD.
Fred Taral. the clever Eastern light
weight, is reaping the unstinted reward of
honest and square riding. Wolcott & Camp
bell have signed three-years' contract
with him for first call on his services at
$1,000 a month. or $4,000 year, with two
months vacation, his salary still going on,
each year. Such chances are as plentiful
will be incorruptibly honest, but only one
boy in thousand has sense enough to grasp
the opportunity. Many riders would sooner
take 500 to take it easy on a horse than $500
to take it hard.
Narvaez, who rode for some local stables
during the past year or so. has been signed
for next year by Foxhall Keene.
At the end of next year 1t will be inter-
esting to note where Mr.. Keene gets off and
the relative positions of the two contracting
parties.
Racine, the Palo Alto crack, raced in the
East this season under lease of the Undine
stable, and is reported as having broken
down permanently.
