The San Francisco call., 1898-05-08
A Deluge of Despised Outsiders in Front at
 Oakland.
Satsuna Beaten Easily in the Handicap by CrOnn-
 well.
Malay Ran Clever Race-zsrro Turned Up Winner-Ann Page the
 Only Fsvorite to Earn Brackets.

The big Saturday crowd that attended the races at Oakland track yesterday must have thought they had bumped up against Spanish fotilla. for they received a terrific raking and were '1ongshotted" all to pieces. Even the wise heads, who held caucus and de- cided that Satsuma ought to win the mile and a sixteenth handicap, went astray. Hurly Burly, May w and Judge Denny were conveniently scratched and the big money poured into the books on Satsuma at even money. though the chestnut horse was delegated to carry 121 pounds. Crom- well, an eighty-eight pounder with Clawson on his back, proved the joker in the deck, for he made runaway race of it and beat the favorite in a gallop in the fast time of 1:47A.
 The menu contained many other lus- cious delicacies, the books fortunately escaping any big commissions on them, and Fl Moro was a tart one backed to some extent by the left handed players at odds of F and Is to l, and Zarro, an to l chance, could claim a slight following, but the major portion of the crowd drew blanks. When it was all over the two-year- old Ann Page had the honor of being the only winning favorite.
 The latter lilly was an even money choice for the opening four furlong scramble and justified the confidence TepOsed in her by winning all the way. The Fretter. ridden by Tompkins, for the first time showed to some advan- tage by taking the place from Brito- martis, at the enticing odds of 30 to l.

It was Colonel Dan, and dur ing his vacation some one must have purloined his speed, for he chopped it up badly and was unplaced even with little Meany on his back. In a long drawn out finish Kid McNichols, astride Fl Moro got the verdict from FormelIa, with ClawsOn up, by nose.
 The Burns & Warehouse stable had another favorite bowled over in the four and half furlong scramble for members of the tWO-year-Old division. Banewor, the fast StrombOli lilly, was sent over to the post an to 5 chance and in a mild drive from the paddock was led out nearly two lengths by Bookma ker Johnny Humphreys brown colt, Malay, against which 5 to 1 was laid E. Come, the Montana delegate, was a close third.
 Dan Honig's Caspar enjoyed first call in the betting on the starters for the mile selling run, for which a field of twelve lined up at the barrier. Pig got had the leg up, hut his mount never looked dangerous. When nearing the wire it had apparently simmered down to a duel between Robair and Polish, Thorpe came with a rush on the out side. Zarro downing the former horse half a length in 1:421a.
 For the final race of the afternoon, 2 seven furlong selling affair, the crowd plunged on Recreation to get even. sending the lilly out a to choice. Woods who had the mount, did not geg away from the post any too well, and though riding good race could not get
