LOS ANGELES, Oct. 18.-Again was
another Southern California lido shattered
to-day. Zombro. the crack son of Nc
Kinney, was supposed TO be just the right
thing for the 2;12 trot. and his constitu-
enis from San Bernardino ano surround
ing country placed their checks right
down tn. line. The track was TO led
down until ii resem bled a billiard table, as
it was supposed Zombro was keyed up to
the concert pitch, but after chasing out
Ethel Downs in the pening heat he was
never after a contender. The Nissla
horse, Jasper Ayers, turned up an easy
winner, not having to travel faster than
2:I1H.
The crowd for the opening day of the
week was large, all OF $500 people being in
attendance, and the sport afforded was the
very best. Neernut, after many trials and
tribulations, placed the 2:l7 trot to the
credit of Owner Ford, who held the rib
bons over the Albert W horse. Highland
Ball of the running division took the
Santa Monica scramble at five iurlongs,
and Roadwarmer outfooted the half breed
CLANCY T in the four-furlong handicap,
stepping TO town in 4S seconds.
The seven.furlong selling run which
was gathered In by Little Cripple was the
heart-breaker of the afternoon. Unable
10 beat him self last time out he defeated
bis field to-day at odds of s to l, much to
the delight of the ring, which stood to be
siaug htered had Mascero, backed rom
TO 5 TO to 2, finished first
The 2:l7 trot was the first event called.
Six started TO score up, with Antrima sell
ing 2, $50. Neernut bringing Sl2 Margaret
Worth $40 and the field $40. Neernut
drew he pole for the first heat, but broke
on entering the backstretch, and Andy
Mcdowell look the heat IN 2:l6h with
Margaret Worth, Daisy Wood finishing
second and Antrlma third.
This caused shift, Mag garet bringing
SIS, Antrlma S12 and the led s14. Neer-
nut overnauied Mcdowell mare in the
run home and snatched The, second heat
by less than a length in 2:l2%.
Before the third heat Neernut sold over
the field at odds OF $50 to SIS. The iavo-
rite broke soon after the word was given
and got up in time to be beaten out over
Two lengths by Margaret Worth.
There was now some more fuctuating
in the be ting. he field fetching S15 and
Neernut $12 When we'll in the lead Mar
garet Worth left her feet a bout n sixteenth
from the wire and in a drive Neernut led
An irima over the line less than length

another surprise, 0sito in a furious drive
downing Antrima a head running past
the judges. lie was given the heat, how
ever.
For the last heat only the heat winners
'--Neernut, Osito and Margaret Worth
came out, Neernut selling a strong favo-
rite. Driver Ford be hind the favorlt e
allowed Osito to lead 10 the stretch, where
he shook his horse Up and beat the son of
Mckinney out half q length in 2:l4
The 2:12 trot needs but little descrfp-
ton. Before hest had leen trotted

| down from Ito 5 TO 10 and won gal-
oping, in l:c2K. with Tempse second. in
| front of Saticoy.
The seven-iurlong run resulted in q
grand dunn, as far as the talent WIS con-
| cerned. MasoerO with Enos up was
backed down 10 l to favoritism, but in a
fierce drive could do no better than finish
third. Little Cripple, splendldly ridden
! the shortest route by Sn;de-, won by less
| than a length from Sea Spray, the second
