The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-11-22

within the following two weeks.
Clutch" Collins we'll known on Eastern
tracks as the betting commissioner for NJ. f.
Dwyer, is one of the late turf arrivals.
Bookmaker Sam summerfield arrived from
the East yesterday, and, with his partner,
Frank Miner, will probably cut in at the next
drawing.
Dan Honig, the st. Louis horseman whose
racers are quartered at the new 1ngleside
Track, got into town from the East yesterday.
He brought his clever lightweight jockey,
Garner with him.
George E. Smith (Pittsburg PhiD, who di-
vides honors with Riley Grammar as plunger
and has been for years one of the most talked
about personages of the turf world, stepped off
the Oakland boat yesterday, fresh from the
East Mr.. Smiths horses, among which are
the well-known performers Derfargilla and
Weinberg, preceded him day, getting here in
the car containing Ed Purser's string.
Bob Tucker was tried at the jumping game
yesterday morning, and his initial trip over
the sticks could hardly be called bowling
success. He managed to throw his rider and
run away, finally Gaping the climax by
endeavoring to jump the inner fence to the
main track. This is where he met his Water
loo, for he got but hallway over, and before
extricated from his unpleasant predicament
was q fit subject for the abtatoir.
The card yesterday contained a scant lot
of entries. The favorites were all pro-
nounced ones and with single exception
had no difficulty in showing in front at the
end. The betting was sluggish, and omit
ting the nose-and-nose finish between
Midlo and Laura f was poor days
racing.
Jer nv Chorn and Chevalier divided the
riding honors. each landing two winners.
The Australian horse Empire came out
fresh and full of run in the opening dash
of five and half furlongs and was made
slight favorite over the other seven start
ers, going to the post a 213 to l favorlte.
Burns got away from the post last with
him, but he ran around the field and won
by short head from the to l chance,
Rogation. Burmah was third, half a
length away, a head before Modesto.
In the second race, at five furlongs, for
two-year-olds, occurred the only dump of
the day. Zeta was plunged on at TO 5,
but after showing slightly in front of Veva
for over three parts of the journey gave it
up. Charlie Slaughter row brought the II
to shot Tiny up, and Diminishing Rowan
on Veva won by a neck in l :02. The
erratic Spry Lark, second choice, finished
last.
The next race, mile selling affair, was
a cake-walk for the 4 to 5 favorite Red
Root. Chorn laid back in the bunch with
him until furlong from the wire, when
he gave him his head and he galloped in,
a length in front of old Sheridan, at 20 to l
in the betting. The time, l AN, marks a
slow performance.
Barney Schreiber's black filly, Laura F,
was TO favorite for the fourth race at
five furlongs, opposed only by four other
two-year-olds. The stable fancied the
chances of Midlo, with but ninety-nine
pounds up and he was decidedly we'll
backed second choice, his odds being low
cred from IL to to to 5. When the flag
fell Donnelly on Midlo was first away and
he maintained his advantage here gained
until less than furlong from home where
Laura f drew up and disputed 1t with him.
In a hard drive Chorn unfinished the
lighter boy and got the Schneider entry's
nose In front the last couple of jumps.
This finish was the redeeming feature of
the days sport.
Green Morris scratched his entry Strath-
meath out of the six-furlong run, and nei-
Their of the remaining two starters, Mon
tana and Linville, had speed enough to get
Thelma out Of a canter. She was a to 5
chance and won as she pleased, with Mon
tana handy second.
The last race over a m lie looked like
gilt Tor detective, ana TO were the best
odds obtainable against him around post
time. He was in front almost the entire
way and won easily, two lengths in front
of Ike l., Is to 1 chance in the betting.
Charmer was a closeup ird.
