SHEPARD SCORES ONCE MORE
Astride Miss Pollard, a 100 to Shot,

Joe Rose laid one bet of $3.50 to $40 against
| Miss Pollard.
Through some hook or crook Carmel seems
to forget to sulk of late.
Mr.. Macdonough hit the ring hard on the
Carmel race, but returned some OF the coin on
the next event-the two-year-old run
In the absence of John Merrell, who is still
confined on account of sickness, Dick HaVey
again welded the starters flag, and his work
was far above the average, he dispatch1ng MS
fields in good order with but slight delay.
John Humphrey put good bet down on
| Theresa K, and the flly's price going pacK IN
| the betting scared him, so he went to the
stand and consulted the judges, who no doubt
| threatened to do all sorts of awful things with
Hinrichs, for the jolly-faced bookie returned
| to the ring with satisfied smile on his face.
| How odd it would look to see Johnny betting
| on dead one.
Social circles in jockeydom are greatly agi-
tated over the rude interruption two OF Its

later another man stepped up and babe the
young lady sitting in the rear seat to alight, in
! terms that betokened anger in every breath.
He also scored the other young miss soundly,
| but she nestled up close to her Charlie and
preferred to remain with the pace she had set.
Big brothers are nuisance-sometimes,
The card looked easy to beat, thought
racegoers, and a goodly sized crowd hied
themselves to the racetrack yesterday pre-
pared for a tussle with the bookies, in
which they fully expected to come out on
top. But they were disappointed; oh so
badly disappointed. The favorites were
all barreled with all the latest finishing
touches known to turfdom And such
shots as crossed the PLATED all the way
from 100 to down. 1t is said man
with small capital stands little chance of
gaining af1uence these days, but one dol
lar rightly in vested on the different events
yesterday would have given a pauper
money enough to break the bank at Monte
Carlo.
Young Shepard, who landed Marietta in
front some weeks ago, again repeated the
trick in the two-year-old race, five-fur-
long dash, this time with Miss Pollard. 1t
was the third event on the card and
Theresa K closed a 2 to favorite, after
opening at 7 to 5. The chic cause of this
was the heavy play on the Boots entry,
Tiberius, who was backed down from to
214 to 1. The other starters were Elsie,
Virgie A, Linda Vista FLY and Miss Pol
lard, the latter going to the post 60 to l,
although 100 to was once obtalnable.
When Starter Havey dropped his flag
Virgie A shot to the front, with the favor
lite at her heels, and the pace they set was
heart-breaking one. After entering the
stretch head in front, Virgie A tired of
the game and gave up the lead to Theresa
K, and Tiberius became the contending
horse. The hot pace the first part of the
journey had not failed to leave its effect on
the leader, and sixteenth from the wire
she showed perceptible signs of weakening,
and Hinrichs was urging her.
Tiberius was also leg-weary, and nearly
opposite the drawgate it suddenly dawned
on Shepard that perhaps his mount, the
brown 1dalium FLY, Miss Pollard, had
chance, so shutting both eyes and grasp
ing tight hold ON the saddle he gave the
outsider his head and awaited results. He
evidently thought surprise party in
store for him, for after pulling up and re-
turning to the stand a glance at the num-
bers was sufficient to tell him his fondest
dream had been more than realized, and
broad grin took possession of his face that
will take days to eliminate. The outsider
had put it on the favorite head, with the
"good thing" Tiberius, third.
Old Regal who was racing when Joe
Hooker was two-year-old, seemed to sud-
denly become imbued with the springtime
of life, for he led from start to finish in the
opening dash of five furlongs, winning in
a walk with to l against him. Irma 81,
every now and then little sure,' backed
from to to 1, was second, and Edna NJ
third. The favorite, st. Elmo, was never
in it.
The second race on the card, mile dash,
was the source of much speculation.
Charmer opened 9 to 5 choice, but drifted
back to II to from the force of coin that
went in on Mantell and Carmel, the latter's
price coming down from Z to AZ to 1.
Rico, ridden by stableboy, started out
with a great show of speed, leading the
first furlong, when Carmel went to the
front and was never headed, winning
handily by two lengths from Charmer,
who was about the same distance in front
of Mantell.
The roam sprinter Tim Murphy, was an
even money chance for the fourth race at
five furlongs, but in his present form is
very far from the Tim of old. When the
flag fell the second choice, Fly. getting
away third, rushed out in front with a
tremendous show of speed and the field
never got near him. He won by three
lengths from Nelson in 1:0Os4, with HUI
eneme fair third.
The star favorite, Oracle S, led all the
way in the last race, short six-furlong
run, until within forty yards of the wire,
when Crawford and Normandie passed her.
the former winning by three-fourths of a
length. The winner was 10 to l in the
betting. MULHoLLANp.
