ALL THROWN OUT.
Promise OF a New Deal at
the Track.
Tricksters Were Outwitted Yesterday
by a Change of Jockeys-Stone-
mans Big Run.

There was a little improvement in the
racing at the Oakland track yesterday.
Manager Dealham is trying to weed out the
tIicksters. and has already caused one
jockey to be suspended and several dis
honest turfmen to be ruled off the track.
More than this, he has dispensed with the
services Of incompetent judges and will
start out tomorrow with new deal all
around. There were many murmurs Of
crook edness, such as Sitting" and pull
Ing" yesterday, but the outcome of the
events did not justify the suspicion In
every instance. So far as legitimate racing
was concerned there we're no very remark
able performances. The starting Of II. ID.
Brown was severely criticized. but to each
complaint ne made satisfactory explana-
ton.
In the first race, which was for three
year-olds over course of five aud a half
furlongs, there were five starters. Condo
was the favorite and sold by the bOokies at
odds OF even money and l to at against 4
TO l Panchita, 8 to / Condo. 10 to l Mischief
and 10 10 HiOgo. When the flag dropped
TO a scattering start Condo look the lead.
but on the stretch he was given lively rub
by Panchita and only won by half length.
Mischief ran under the wire third.
Considerable money was wagered on
Mackey at to and Stoneman at to l be-
fore the start OF the second race, which was
half-mle and repeat affair. 1t appeared
that for the first heat Jack the Ripper was
started off two lengths ahead of Mackey
and SLOVENIAN. Prince got off in the rear.
But the ''old white dog" as the big geldng
StOneman is styled, caught up ON the stretch
and won the heat by half length in 30.
The Ripper was second and Prince last.
In the second heat Mackey was first, Jack
the Ripper second and StOnemau last. The
Judges thought that Jockey Hill had not
ridden StOneman TO win the heat and Spence
was put in his place. 1t is but due to Hill
to explain, however. that he lay back to
win the final and decisive heat because he
thought he could not win the second heat.
During the wrangle that ensued the fol-
lowing notice was chalked on the black
board: ''N0 more heat races over this
course"
Then came the third heat and again it
looked AS though StOneman was started
about four lengths behind Mackey. Stone
man, under the skilful guidance OF Spence,
went rapidly ahead TO the stretch, where he
gradually closed the gap and won the race
from Maekey by a neck. This time the
gelding made the half in the quick time
of :4o4. After some parlying, the judges
declared Stoneman the winner and awarded
the place TO Mackey.
Last Chance was a red hot fayorite il the
three-furl0ng race for two-year-0lds. lie
sold at TO o. and Durango and Cherokee at 6
10 /. The faverite won easily by length
in 49, The place was won by Cherokee,
who ran under the wire seven lengths ahead
Of Durango.
Six furlongs was the distance in the last
race. Little Tough at book odds of to 5.
Joe Hooker Jr. al 6 TO 5, Alfred at 10 to ]
and ElHoOd at 10 10 l were the starters.
Alfred surprised the specta tors by going
ahead from last to the lead and winning by
Ipn in L .
second and Eiwood as usual, last
Appended are the summaries OF the four
races:
