Borax has a Ike effect. but he had

The California took no chances In book
Ing What Happened to Jones'" The
management knew the play, the player
and the combination. The whole AFFAIR
is as smoothly professional as Broadhurst

much so indeed. The gaunt, square

His new environment had startling ef-
feet. II drew the cork Of the champagne

thusiastic. Hitherto we have known him
wear a dress suit without bidding for

of rarity on the stage. In his part OF
Richard his spirits have risen like a colts

the old professor, where he coaXes, urges

Going at I anforan-Mor-

The slaughter of the favorites con-
tinued at Tanforan Park yesterday, and
for the time being the bookmaking fra
ternity appear TO be masters of the situa-
tion. The races broke so nicely for the
layers OF odds that even the field books
MADE money. for change. OF six choices
sent 10 the post, Aborfgine, most shaky
one. and Tulamore were the only ones
TO safely navigate the juicy going.
The menu contained no notable turf
delicacles, the seven furlong handicap
alone possessing any pretensions as TO
class. There were seven acceptances,
and II was a most open betting affair.
At post time Silver Tone. with 99 pounds
up, had a slight call over Morinel. carry
ing Tommy Burns and 1O2 pounds.
Spencer had the mount on Ostler Joe, the
top-Weight, and the black horse seemed
well thought Of. ruling third choice.
When sent away King Carnival, a we'll
touted one. hurried away in the lead,
which he held for half the distance, fol-
lowed by Ostier Joe and Morinel. Less
than three furlongs from the stand Burns
on the latter marc made an early move,
quickly followed by Spencer with Joe.
Weight told the last sixteenth and the
black fellow under hard urging was
Storms game mare. Silver Tone found
all the wash-Outs in the track and John

Thorpe also piloted Pat Murphy over

following. Third choice in the ring, the
roam horse under persuasive riding out
gained Toribio, the favorite, winning by
neck. Ricardo, well-played starter,
took the show.
Forte. with Bullman in the saddle and
favorite for the mile and furlong run,
at no time seemed afflicted with speed,
finishing third behind Jennie Reed and
Coda. 1t was only gallop for the first
named mare which won all the way.
Reolia was caught by the webbing at the
start, never being prominent.
Billy Randalls patched up sprinter
Tullamore captured the fourth event at

perfection. and stalling off the challenge
