The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-03-06
Track Notes,

| Silver was the longest priced winner, Il
to 1 being quoted against him. Tubervillt
rode him WELL
Griffin rode two winners out of three
mounts.
Sympathetic's Last, almost left at the
post, made a phenomenal run, finishing
fast coming third in the second race.
Bookmaker Evans has received a letter
from his partner, George Rose, to the
effect that the latter will prolong his vaca
ton at Coronado Beach another week
During Mr.. Roses absence his two books
have both been on, and it is because of the
satisfactory work of H. G. Wendt and O.
Evans on the block that Mr.. Rose has ex-
tended his vacation.
Joe Harvey and his friends thought thew
had something up their sleeve in Wheel of
Fortune in the second race. 1t failed to
stop at the star and green, however
Ed Purser placed money on both Silver
and Mt. Carlos to win the first race and of
course quit ahead on the proposition. He
tried the same thing in the second race,
playing Warrago and San Lucas, but it
failed to connect, neither of them getting
mark.
Riley Grammar thought to try his for
tune on the ground and did not 'cut-in"
with the other bookmakerS yesterday He
was successful in landing good-sized bet
on Royal Flush, but lost enough on Nero
and Thelma to build city hall tower on
his building in Louisville.
Will Wallace, along with Frank Dale
and others, donated several hundred dol
lars to the bookmakers on the Arizona
stables entry, Ross, in the second race.
His chances looked most promising at one
time, until he exploded" an eighth of a
mile from the wire. Wallace differed
from his friend Grammar on the last race
and recovered some of his lost wealth by
backing Draw Scot.
Purser went down with the other favor
lite players on Thelma.
After day of uncertain speculation
Pittsburg Phil George E. Smith) evened
up matters with his friends on the block
by putting his checks down on Barney
Schreiber's gray horse in the last race.
Tom Ryan's partner, Wright, caused the
price against G. b. Morris to be cut a
couple of points
Joe Rose, George Wheelock, the Stuy-
vesant Club and Johnny Humphreys all
had rather elongated lines back of their
boxes after the Draw Scot race
Bookmaker Hayden took one bet of $500
on Nero from Riley Grammar.
After the Draw Scot race Barney Schrei-
Der said he did not bet more money on his
horse than he did because if he won it
would be his thirteenth victory, and while
not superstltious he has a sort of distant
regard for the hoodoo number At any
rate he is not looking to tempt fate by
having his name proposed for membership
in any thirteen club.
Thomas H. Williams Jr., president of
the Jockey Club, has made a proposition
to the owners of Gilead and Hawthorne to
add $500 to the side stakes if they decide
to match their horses for another four
mile race. In case the record is broken
$500 additional will be given. Barney
Schneider, owner of Hawthorne, says he is
perfectly willing, but he doubts whether
his horse is. The latter has been slightly
lame of late, and is hardly fit for so trying
a test, at least this month, and at present
the match is remote possibility.
