RUNNING RACES.
Three FaVorites Fail to
Win for the Talent.
Gasser, Bobolink, Draw Scot, Joe
Murphy and LOttie ID Were
First Past the Post.

Though Friday is generally looked for
ward TO as somewhat of an off day In
racing circles in this country. the sport
afforded at the Bay District track yester-
day was a contradiction de facto to that
an ticipation.
The fields averaged eight, and. given fair
weather. GOOD fast track. spirited bet
ting. that makes the Fastener stare in
silent wonder and close and exciting fin
ishes. what more does the inveterate
race-goer want?
Those were the conditions yesterday.
and though the talent had to put up with
the worst OF the battle Of speculation, they
had nothing TO which they could attach
the credit of their defeat outside the ordi-
nary fortune of that kind OF warfare.

fair sample OF the pencllers' advantage in
making the market. Gus Strauss was on

race pushed GasseT, who won handily
