THE BAY DISTRICT RACES,
TOD SLOANE SUSPENDED FOR
BEATING THE STARTERS FLAG
WITH WAWONA.
TWO FAvORITEs IN FRONT.
TIM MURPHY BEATEN BY BOTH
DETECTIVE AND MAJOR COOK
IN A SPRINT.

The odds against Minnie, who started in the
third race, were forced down from 200 to so to
L through stable money. She ran e fairly good
race.
Leora, the gray ghost, again headed the first
bunch OF sprinters that started in the last race
into the stretch but died away TO nothing be-
fore the wire was reached.
Happy Day opened a TO favorite in his
race, but gave way TO Wawona, who was heav-
lily backed. The brown horse came with his
usual showing OF speed at the end, finishing
second.
Barney Schreiber's colors were seen for the
first time ct the meeting in the last race, old
Yemen. the Splinter, starting in his purple
and orange jacket. He did not cut much OF
figure in the race.
John Kelsey, assistant secretary OF Washing
ton Park racecourse. Chicago, was an on
locker al the races yesterday. Mr.. Kelsey was
accompanied in his trip across the continent
by Frank Galian, who for several years has
been connected in q business capacity WI
Joe Ullman, the bookmaker, and Mr. SAKE. the
detective, made up the third member of the
party.
Unfortunately for Tod Sloane Starter
Ferguson was in poor health yesterday.
which did not tend to make his patience
the most enduring in the world and when
Tod, who had the mount on the even
money favorite, Wawona, in the seven
furlong run, pulled up. spelling a very
pretty breakaway and then in the very
next break to beat the flag two lengths
was too much for the starter to bear and
he set the clever lightweight down on the
ground Indefinitely. The Jockeys only
solace now is in the fact that he won the
race, beating out the second choice, Happy
Day, quite handily.
The racing passed of without incident
worthy OF note. Two only OF the favorites
won for the talent, the other three events
being captured by second choices in the
betting.
That handsome looking FLY Torsina
scored another easy victory in the short
six-furlong race for two-vear-olds that
opened the days racing. Starting to 5
fayorite, with Flynn up, she disposed of
the other nine starters without being ex-
tended, winning easily a length before the
s to second choice Scimitar. Free Will
an outsider, ran a good race, finishing
third.
Model was heavily backed to win the
third race at six furlongs, going to the
post to 5, but Rose Clark, the to l sec

winning IN drive from the fayorue by
neck in 1:145z. Charmer finished q poor
third.
There was considerable diversity of opin-
ion among bettors as TO the probable re-
suit OF the mile and seventy yards race
Miss Fletcher was slight favorite through
out the betting, IL to being the general
price chalked against her. MaIo Diablo
and Mary S were both well supported at
threes, while steady play cut Gussie's
odds from s 10 4. Sloane who had the
mount on Mary s, took the mare TO the
front On the first turn, and was never
headed, winning with little to spare from
Malo Diablo, with Miss Buckley a fair
third. Time, Ash
Again was Tim Murphy made favorite
and once more did he suffer defeat. He
started q 10 favorite in the last race
but could finish no better than third to
Detective and MAJOR Cook. Detective
struck the stretch fourth, and in a hard
drive the last sixteenth of a mile downed
the Major head in :0011
