FAVORITES STILL WINNING
MIDLoVE WON THE CALIFORNIA
MAIDEN STAKE.

The first bad spill of the racing season
took place at Oakland yesterday. 1t oc-
Cured at the head of the stretch during
the running OF the California maiden
stakes for two-year-olds, and resulted In
Kiley, who had the mount on Jingle jim
gle, fortunately escaping with broken
wrist, and Charley Gray, with the leg up
on DR.. RowelIs FLY Elizabeth r. getting
off with badly bruised shoulder as well as
| minor Commissions. The accident was
caused by Kiley's mount, Jingle Jingle,
| jumping on the heels Of Engea, ridden by
| Piggott, just as the stretch turn was
rounded Jingle stumbled and fell, bring
ing Elizabeth r down with her. No
blame could be attached to any indi-
vidua unless 1t was the lack of caution
and experience displayed by Kiley. Both
FLIES had been well supported in the bet
ting at enticing prices.
The balmy summer weather attracted q
! large attendance, and the dense crowd In
the ring all seemed to have started to the
races prepared to bet themselves to a
standstill. Four favorites and heavily
backed second choice came whizzng in,
and the books again got badly hit
| The California maiden stakes, valued at
! $1,000, was in the nature of a cake-walk
! for the Burns & Waterhouse tilly Mid
with Engea, ~''s was a to 10 choice.
! Thorpe as usual got a running start with
| her, and won all the way. Five lengths
back, Anchored downed Don't Tell for
Trainer Bill Murray has Cromwell i'll
! rare form just now, and the chestnut
horse placed the Emeryville handicap at
one mile and furlong to the credit of
| Ed Purser. Opening at TO z, there was
such well-defined play on Grady, Morel-
! Ito and Wheel of Fortune that 2 to ]
was obtainable about Purser's horse
| around post time. Piggott mad the mount
| and, getting away first, maintained the
| lead throughout, winning ridden out al
| the end a length in front of Wheel of
| Fortune in the fast time OF 1:0312. RutteT
| on the latter probably timed his run a
! trile late, the mare being asked TO make
| Grady, considering his many hard races
! of late, ran fattering race, finishing a
| good third. San FenadO possessed speed,
! but il deserted him before q mile had
| been covered.
! Louis Ezell's gelding Personne was tout
/ ed as the ripe one for the opening mile
down from threes to s to 5. Gray had the
mount, and hitting the stretch second to
Prompto outspeeded that horse in the run
| to the wire, winning cleverly by over a
! length. Inverary IL showed up well, being
a close third at long odds.
First Tenor, the even money choice for
/ the two-year-old event at six furlongS,
] struck a snag in Ventoro, the rapid trav-
! cling Golden Garter youngster- He loafed
/ the first part with Thorpe, and although
| finishing like cyclone was beaten out a
| nose in /: IA fat. The winner made all the
! running, and his admirers forced the odds
/ down from 4 TO to IL TO 8. Olinthus was
a good third.
Yemen, which old gelding seems to have
regained her three-year-old form, made a
! show of his field in the final seven-furlong
! spin He led from the jump, winning
/ eased up from Judge Stouffer in 1:27A.
