LOS ANGELES, Oct. 2l.-The card this
afternoon was quite an improvement over
the speckled one OF yesterday ana race
goers again turned out in large numbers.
The programme was a mixed one, two
irott tting and four running events being
down for decision. The weather was
balmy and cool, and while a too liberal
use of the sprinkling-car made the track
cuppy for the harness horses, the gallop-
ers were in their element
Ii was a rare day for fayorite players,
all but TWO choices landing the coin. W.
salia, converted to a trotter, again downed
Chico in the special trot, causing much
confusion among learned ones. Carlyle
Carne, though, was honey from the comb
in the 2:15 trot, driven with McDowell's
usual skill. The race for maiden two-year-
olds was a warm one, FL Salado scamper-
ing away with his field. Polish led a good
bunch out at odds OF 10 1, and Grady and
Howard took their respective races off the
reel.
The special trot did not arouse much
in ierest. Before the first heat Chico sold
a to l choice over the field, but after
VIsalia took the opening heat in 2:16 the
betting shifted In favor of the Visaia
mare.
In the second heat Visalia made a break
at the turn, and Chico, overhauling the
erratic Joe in the stretch, won the hea;
cleverly by less than a length.
The heat-winner once more sold favorite
bringing 90, with the field in good d. e.
mand at II. Joe once more led until after
passing the far turn, where VisaIia
assumed command, taking the heat easily,
with Chico In second position.
Another game of seesaw ensuei. vi
salia next had first call in the betting.
and, making a disastrous break at the
turn. ended up in the last place, the heat
going to Chico.
Coming out for the tiial brush, Visalia
sold 20 to 13 choice over the other three
starters, and in a hard drive bsat Chico
over the line in a short head in 2:l6sZ
The 2:15 trot appeared a good thing or
paper for the gray horse, Carlyle Carne,
and going for 20, but could be secured
for Peko, DR.. Leek and Antrima, selling
s the field. The favorite dropped the
first heat, fini shing third to Peko and
Antrima, but took the next three with
out effort, not having 10 step fas ter than
2:15
The track was now given up to the run
ners. The maiden two-year-oId scram BILE
drew out field of ten. with the Baldwin
pair, El Salado and Palo Banco, ruling
W arm 8 10 10 favorites in the betting. El
Salado proved himself quite a shiity
youngster. for he romped in an easy win
ner from Sosocol, which gelding was
backed from 20 to 8. Amaze finished in
the show.
The five and half furlong spin was a
rafting betting affair. Roadwarmer was
ways a favorte, with a stiff playing
going into the books on Aivarado, Sea
Spray. Polish and Jim Bozemen. The
odds against the latter were swiped from
10 and 20 down to 8. After a delay of over
thirty minutes at the post, caused by the
unruly antics of Alvarado and Pescador,
the bunch was finally dispatched Hen

front, and led until within a six een:h
