Oakland Steadily Mounts the
Column and Will Give
Lcbsters a Hard Race.

They have met-the Senators and the
locals-and still the same conditions eX-
st. All the diamond cranks in town an
ticipated a hot close fight between the
two leaders, and nothing but disappoint-
ment is expressed on the result, for each
team took game and the third was tie.
Saturdays match gave promise OF some
thing close on Sunday. The great eXpec-
tations were unrealized. In the morning
San Francisco played a game of baseball
that was a travesty on the name. Error
after error was perpetrated on the pubic,
which rose early to see the leaders and
the seconds fight in hot competition. Both
teams must have enjoyed some sleep be-
tween the lapse of the morning and after
noon games If the quality of the game
may be used as a basis of Judgment. The
result of the series leaves San Francisco
and Sacramento in the same position in
the percentage column, and therefore the
games at Sacramento Saturday and Sun
day will be looked upon by the ultra-en-
thusasts with as much interest as the last
series.
The phenomenal burst of speed that the
Dudes have been developing in the past
two months bids fair to work ruin to the
aspirations of the leaders. Game after
game the Oaklanders have been plucking
from every team In the league. Sacra-
mento managed to hold the surprise party
in check but none of the other teams
seem able to do it. Dudes and LobsterS
meet in this city Saturday and Sunday,
and Cal Ewing keeps saying there is
games they will top Santa Cruz, and move
from place which they have held exclu-
sively for many months.
The standing of the teams is as follows:

MAY w FLEW
AROUND THE
OVAL AGAIN
DR.. Sheppard Never Within
Hading Distance-Ihree
Choices Beaten.

Flying May w showed her dainty heels
to a trio of entries again at Oakland yes
terday. She was held an odds-on choice in
the betting, and came home ION the Bit
in 1:42 fiat. over a track made slow by the
rainfall of the night before. The over
sanguine conceded DR.. Sheppard a chance
to overtake the Calgary mare, but il
looked like asking a great deal of the
doctor. He was second into the stretch,
but at the paddock quit badly losing the
place to peaked-faced Ringmaster, the
rank outsider of the quartet racing.
The afternoon sport resulted in the
overthrow of three pronounced choices in
Ny Gypsy, Negligence and LOdestar.
Their defeat was not accomplished with
out a struggle, and they were probably
downed ON their merits.
Tall and spare Sam Merriweather
turned off another coup in the opening six
furlong sprint for maidens, with Iona
Marie. Jim BoZeman was railroaded back
from Fresno to ride the mare. whose odds
were hammered down from TO to to
p Bozeman waited in third position
with her TO the stretch, and then grad
ually assuming the lead downed Alaska
half a length at the wire. The latter,
away poorly. was much the best. Lou
Rey ran third.
The six-furlong dash for two-year-oIds
y
ster was said to be suffering from a re-
Gently contracted cold. but he evidently
runs best that way. My Gypsy received
the select support and should have won.
Unfortunately though for her hackers.
Coburn, on The Scot, beat the barrier
fully three lengths and lasted long enough
to lead the first choice out by a neck.
Ten lengths away Druidess took the show
from Palapa.
Negligence has shown such improved
form of late that the Montana horse was
made favorite over Mamie G to win the
selling affair at seven furlongs, fourth on
the programme. Blair did take him away
in the lead. and a furlOng from the stand
looked a possible winner. He tired per-
ceptibly the last sixteenth, though, and
Mamie beat him without an effort. For
the first time out ImperiOus made good
showing, even though being a distant
third at the finish.
In the hurry TO get aboard LOdestar, the
odds-on favorte for the concluding mile
and a sixteenth run, decided under selling
conditions. the previous good efforts of
Petal were undoubtedly overlooked. The
latter mare came from the far rear the
last quarter of a mile. and though Thorpe
on Lodestar had all sails set he was led
out Il scant length by the outsider. The
winner closed at odds of TO l. DonatCr
also came from the wilderness, securing
the show.
