jack JOHNSON KNOCKS OUT McVEY IN THE TWENTIETH ROUND
+SHEEHAN SUDDENLY REGA1NS HIS FOR
PILOTING -FOUR WINNERS AT OAKLf
Golden Light Downs
Scion, a Strong
Favorite.

Well, if ]. F. Sheehan didn't arouse
himself from the lethargic state which
appears to have almost completely
enveloped him for the past fortnight or
so, and pilot four winners at Oakland
track yesterday. He was alert at the
| barrier and conducted himself gener-
/ ally as If tabasco sauce was his ordi-
nary diet. He first came sailing home
| on Solinus, following it with landing
! Sileo winner of the two-year-old scram-
| bic. Then after a short intermission
j. F." landed the mile event with
Kitty Kelly. Next he finished first
! on Andrew b. Cook, a Is to l shot.
Sheehan is a rider of ability If he
would just forget to sulk, and now
| that he has struck his gait should do
some good work in the saddle His
feat of yesterday has not been sur
passed by any rider during the season.
Again favorites made a standoff Of it,
capturing three events. The track was
not fast, but by this afternoon should
be in good condition. The usual crowd
was present.
/, Played from threes to II to favor
| itism, Solinus led from start to finish
in the opening number. Nellie Bawn,
| Toto Gratiot and Judge VOORHEES,, all
web backed ones, ran wretched races.
San Luton, 20 to / shot, took the
show, three lengths before Monte.
Sileo ruled to favorite for the
| two-year-old scramble. The. ST. An
drew colt had Sheehan up and was rid
den out a couple of lengths before
Pearl Waters. Cardinal Sarto finished
third.
Billy CahilTs Sweet Tooth outclassed
his company in the six and half
furlong run, winning without effort.
The big brown remained a to 10
chance throughout the betting and led
Shell Mount and DoHe Weithoff past
the judges, with pounds to spare.
There was no question about stable
instructions beating Handpress for the
mile selling fixture. Billy Magrane's
little horse was a pronounced choice
and Joe Jones was told to wait on
Kitty Kelly the first part of the rum
ming. When Jones finally did get to
work in earnest he could not overtake
Kitty. the mare scoring by about half
a length. Mocorito, backed down from
10 to Z, ran into the show.
Likewise did the next winner come
from the Stanfield stable. A. b. Cook,
a 10 to l shot, jumped away in front
at the start of the six-furlong selling
affair and was never headed. Lady
Atheling, with Knapp up, closed very
strong, losing by but a neck, at odds
of 20 TO 1. Scherzo ran third. Sher-
wood piloted the to favorite Ocy-
rohe, and his effort was a farcical one.
Charley McCafferty's Golden Light
upset calculations completely in the
final mile and fifty-yard event. Solon
hammered down from threes to to 5,
was supposed to be in and the smart
ones distressed themselves getting
aboard The good thing led into the
stretch and was then beaten out half
a length at the wire by Golden Light,
ridden by Herbert. Hermencia seemed
to sulk.
