The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-09-24
THE BAY DISTRICT RACES,
Tim Murphy Was Himself and
Lowered a Coast Sprint
ing Record.
ANOTHER MARX WAS ALSO CUT.
Remus Was in Fine Fettle and Ran
the Mile and Seventy Yards
In 1:443l.

Steadfast, who started in the first race, was
so full of ginger that he ran away with Wilson
and the field was dispatched without him.
Condo, who was nerved some weeks ago,
showed no sign OF lameness, but did not have
his old-time speed. He might have finished
closer up had not Donahue on Arno cut him
off near the wire.
After dismounting at the conclusion of the
first race Elmer F, the favorite who finished
last, evidently held some grievance against Ike
johnson, the colored lad that rode him, for he
endeavored to remove a portion OF the woody
covering to his skull with his teeth. He drew
blood, but Ike was up in the saddle in the third
race.
Carmel was in his usual sulking mood while
ct the post in the last race, and President
Williams very wisely rang the bell TO send the
field away without him. OF course this may
have caused grumbling among the horses
hackers, but there is no reason why the chances
of five other starters should be spoiled by the
actions of one stubborn brute.
Just to demonstrate that he is not a
"has-been" the old war horse, Tim Muir
ply, picked mp his 102 pounds in the third
race Yesterday, five-and-a -half-furlong
dash, and, tripping over the course as
risky as kitten, clipped quarter of a
second off the coast record for the distance
made by Geraldine several years ago, set
ting it at :065%. That the luster of imp.
Brutus should not be dimmed by this per-
Torrance his little brown son Remus ran
away from his field in the last race, a mile
and-seventy-yard run, with SO pounds in
the saddle and lowered the coast record to
:4434, the former record being :45L. If
the record smashing that has been going
on of late continues the Eastern cracks
will find some pretty hard marks to
shoot at.
The attendance for an off day and very
ordinary programme was good, although
betting in the big ring had tendency TO
sluggishness. And if the bookie did not
add to his wealth the talent Jared little
better, for but two favorites got home in
front. One or two heavily played choices
that went wrong left them woefully out of
pocket.
In the opening race, six-f urlong selling
dash, the IL to 10 favorite, Elmer F, a late
Eastern importation, ran as though Cali
fornia alfalfa disagreed with his digestive
organs, for he finished last. Agitato the
6 to second choice, took the race easily
from Coleman, who, while at the post,
gave an exhibition of ''mulishness" that
Professor Gleason would have wept over.
The bookmakers thought the second
race. another six-furlong run, with light
welterweights up, looked hard, and they
laid liberal odds against any of the seven
starters. At post time Condo had the call
at 81 to l, with Olivia and Normandie
fancied next in the order named. Johnny
Payne and Condo headed the field until
well into the stretch, where they both
tired, and Olivia, finishing strong, won the
NV ha1f
who downed Johnny Payne for the place
Going to the post to 5, Tim Murphy
led all the way III the next race, and won
by length from Duchess of Towers, who
ran a superb race, carrying two pounds
more than the winner. Candor, formerly
the Miss Clay tiIly, was poor third.
The mile selling dash resulted in the
overthrow of the to favorite, Nephew.
He could not run bit for three-quarters of
the journey, and although the ground dis
appeared under his feet in the stretch in
about the manner huckleberry pie does in
the capacious mouth of Southern picka-
ninny, he could not catch the 6 to l chance,
Mamie Scott, who won by two and half
lengths in Az. Nellie G finished a good
third at odds of 80 to /.
Some great guessing was INDUCED in
over the last event on the. card at mile
and seventy yards. Little Bob opened a
2 to l choice, but so much coin went in on
Remus, cutting his price to IL to 5, that
Bob and Fannie Louise We'd with each
other around post time for secondschoice
honors. Sloane Immediately went to the
front on the favorite at flag fall and lead
ing all the way won handily by two and a
half lengths from Little Bob, with Charmer
an ordinary third.
