IA DESTROYS WON EASILY.

The rather rude awakening Of c. P. Jones
was the feature OF yesterdays racing at
Delmar Park. Mr.. Jones has been getting
left at posts and running rancid races in
rummy rucks for some time. Yesterday he
got out with a fair to decent lot among
which he was 20 to / shot For the first
time in three months there was betting on
him. His price was pretty well battered
down by post time He was wild horse
He took up Charley Hueston, who is quite
package. made all the running. came into
the stretch five lengths to the good and
seemed to have the goods in his pocket.
Lindsay, who had been fairly numbering La
Spara, now brought the mare up and
went after the flying Mr. Jones. Lindsey
gave the mare all kinds Of poor handling.
but she was too good to be beaten. In spite
Of all this she won by q nose.
Just what kind OF an alarm clock woke
Mr.. Jones up Is not known. It must have
had q gong big as the great bell of St.
Paurs. For he certainly was wide awake.
There was a startling fall in the second
race. Tcad Rainey stepped on his own feet

race and landed the second event rather
handny, clevesly by u nose from Irving

and looked like a contender at the half. He
should have been a contender. but Bloss.

That clever and popular gentleman, ex-
Randazzo in a dizzy finish. From the way

little horse was I'm" Randazzo, the log

Horseshoe went to the post lame and re.

at the post, also had a world of early speed
and showed Horseshoe the way to the head
of the stretch Randazzo then came UP like
a lion. Dale gave him all sorts Of a good
drive The old horse answered gamely. He
nut Horseshoe away all right but in the
last ffty yards Gilmore brought Revoke up
with roaring rush. and almost nipped
Randazzo on the post. 1t was case OF
noses, and Revoke would have won In an
other Jump. It makes about the seventy
seventh race Randaxzo has won for Jockey
Bob by q nose.
Dale Again Riding Roughly.
Willie has put in three foul rides in the
last three days. He bored In on Land Ho. on
Charles D., and yesterday on Zazel. Dale
was on Boot and was running In front at
the last eighth. Here Zazel came up with a
rush and threatened to get the money. She
was on the outside. Dale pulled out to stall
her off He did not touch her. but he plainly
crossed q horse that was coming fast. 1t
was a foul ride. but no action was taken by
the judges
