CON DALTON A SURPRISE
LED GOAL RUNNER OUT IN A
DRIVE.

Opportunities to win fortune were
more plentiful at Oakland track yester-
day than in the frozen Klondike country.
The long shots had an outing Not that
a favorite did not score, for both Sat
suma and Wyoming headed their fields
out at scant odds. It was Con Dalton,
the black gelding from DR.. Rowell's sta
BILE, and Tony Licalzi that afforded the
golden chance. Con Dalton took the third
event at odds of 30 and 40 to /, and Lii
calzi scampered in winner of the final
event with some of the books laying 100
to l about him. Throughout the after
noon the betting was crotchety and the
winners hard to guess.
A big bunch of platers started in the
opening five-furlong scramble, with Jer-
ilderio ruling favorite. w. H. Martin
took her back before a furlong had been
covered and she finished in the bunch.
The heavily played Widow Jones led all
the way, winning easily from Balllster
a. 10 TO l shot. Gracias, 100 10 out
slider, ran into show.
Devin had the mount on Glen Anne, and
the mare was installed a mild choice for
the mile selling run that followed. She
was in front from the jump and in a drive
.downed Henry 9 a head. The poorly
ridden Joe Mussle succeeded in finishing
third.
Tom Ryan's Splinter. Goal Runner. was
sent. TO the post to chance for the
third number, a siX-furlong spin, and fin
ished second. Eddie Jones took Con Dali
ton TO the front, and outlasting the ia
Vorite earned the decision by a couple
of lengths. Yaruba led Sir Urian out
head for third place.
Espionage was scratched from the
seven-fur1ong run, and Satsuma had de-
-cidedly strong cali in the betting. A quiet
play on San Mateo cut his price from
S to l TO 13 to 5, and the brown horse
nearly scored. Satsuma did not catch
him until the paddock was reached. and
was ridden along some to win by half a
length in 1:2S12. Eddie Jones was third.
The Sly people were not pronounced in
their views and Wyoming carried the big
coin pullman rode the latter, and pass
ing lamar in the stretch beat Honig' 5
sprinter a neck, driving hard. The
wretchedly ridden Sly ended up third.
A cheap, trashy assortment of platers
furnished the sport in the closing five
furlong dash AL was favorite, with H.
Martin up, and after showing the way to
the stretch blew up. Tony Lcalzi, with
Ellis IN the saddle, then disposed of Feb
q ruary by a length.
