width Is dangerous pastime. This fact
was forcibly realized by Starter Brown.

yesterday during the second day OF the
Golden Gate Associations summer meet
ing In two instances he had a close call.
and in the third he was crippled by having
bis right foot trampled upon.
The main course at the Oakland track
is all right, but the inside track, reserved
for runners. is Tade most DANGEROUS by
its narr0wnesS and uneven turns.
There were thirteen starters in the sell
ing race of seven furlOngs. and Cody BIS
name was on the card op osite the un-
lucky number. The superstitious loudly
predicted that some one would be badly
hurt during the race, but their fears
proved groundless. Inkerman was the
favorite and sold at S25, as against 81 on

stretch. There he was let out until ne
bounded TO the front and won by length
in 81. Morton was second and Vanity
third. Through some oversight the judges
announced that Donna Lila was third.
1t will be remembered that Inkerman
was Indefinitely susp Dded by the Blood.
horse Association last year owing to the
very slow time in which he ran seven fur
longs. Soon after that the owner came
forward with the explanation that the
geldipg could not make better time for that
distance, and the matter was dropped.
Inkerman's little performance yesterday,
however, shows that he is not such slow
one in a seven-furlong race as h S owner
made the Blood-horse people imagine.

Charles James each sold at $50. as against

Dexter, who won three straight heats and
the race without an effort. His best time
was 2:22h. Belle Medium won second
money and Fallacy third. In the third
