So the Ring Took Liberties With
Howard S and He Won
at Is to I.
THE BOOKS BADLY SHAKEN UP.
Oakley Easily Disposed of a Field OF
"Piaters "-Oive Was Warm
Choice.

As the end of the racing season draws
near some good things" are being re-
marked. A delicious bonbon was popped
in the two-year- old race vest erday. How
ard s, son of the promising sire, imp.
Whistleiacket, was carded as starter IN
the two-year.old event. He won his last
race very handiiy, defeating among others
the good flly Dura. Yesterday the stable
put Enos, an obscure jockey, up, and the
ring took great liberties with the young
ster. Opening at to his odds went
back in the betting until 25 TO was pro-
durable. This was the opportunity awaited
and those in on the "Know" began getting
aboard, forcing the price down to g..
Third to Jerelderio and Dura swinging
into the stretch, he leis urely paraded to
the front and won cleverly by length
from Dura AS though fortune smiled on
the venturous the s to favorite Greyhurst,
with Piggott up, SHE'D when the barrier
flew in the air and was left at the post.
1t was a cleverly planned coup. for with
one OF the prominent Jockeys at the track
in the saddle the colt would have been one
of the choices.
The card was long one, seven events
being run off, and the attendance was
large. Favorites captured four OF the
purses.
Frank Phillips brown horse Oakley was
among the fourteen starters in the open
ing race of the day over mile. The held
was most ordinary one, and on his best
performances 1t looked "moraF' tor MIN.
Opening at to 1 the money did not go in
on him until post time when the books
rubbed to 2. III. Wilson waited until the
stretch was reached when he let out a
wrap, and his mount won galloping by
two lengths IN 1:44 Roadrunner, the
third choice, took the place from Little
Tough by half length.
The Oakland stables Last Chance found
rather easy game in the third event at
five and half furlongs, going to the post
to choice. Corriente, well backed at
a long price, hattered her admirers by
leading the field until within furlong Of
the wire, where she tired. The favorite
then took up the running and passed the
stand over length clear of Pollock, who
made fine run from the rear and nipped
second money from Big Chief by a nose
The clever Sacramento trainer, Hang
Ter" Jones, took another fall out of the
| ring with his gelding George Rose, one of
thirteen starters in the mile run that came
next. Backed from threes down to 13 to 5
he took the lead from Two Cheers when
squared away for the tape and won hand
ify by two lengths in 1;43@. The latter
horse, well played at to 1, took second
place as handily from Flirtilla.
A heavy play on Mosier, the Spreckels
entry for the fifth race, a six-furlong run,
sent the gelding to the post Alto chance.
Piggott seemed unable to get him to the
front, and La Flecha, against which the
books laid to 1, led from the Jump and
won easily by five lengths, with Ell Carmen
finishing in the place.
Better success awaited the red, white
and blue in the next event also over six
furlongs, decided under selling conditions.
The handsome Oliver ruled hot to
favorite and the result was never in doubt.
Getting away from the post second, she
made all the running and with little to
spare at the best, led Nebuchadnezzer out
length in 1:151z. Model ran a good
race, winding up in the show.
A fast lot of sprinters started in the
final race of the day, five and half fur
long scramble, with Hymn closing an 8 to
5 choice, backed down from 21z to 1.
