PRINCESS TTTANIA TAKES HANDICAP,
AND ANANIAS RUNS DISAPPOINTMENT
Horton Wins From
he Fretter in
q Drive.

Just ore week ago yesterday
Princess Titania. ridden by Willie See.
was beaten by Ananias in a handicap.
The Princess had her revenge at Oak
land yesterday i'm the six-furlong
handicap, and her previous defeat now
seems like a hideous. improbable
nightmare.
There were but four starters. and
IN the early betting il was TO
- and take your pick about Ananias and
Princess Titania. with little doing on
Futurita and O'Hagen. each looking
outclassed on recent form. Toward
post time Caesar Young's mare had
a slight call over Ananias
The race itself was a joke. for the
Princess raced Ananias off his feet
the first quarter and won by four or
FIVE open lengths. with John Bullman
going down for fresh wraps. Johnny
Schorr's colt quit so badly that
o'Hagen led him out a couple of
lengths for the place. Futurita quit
in the run TO the wire.
TRACK Is DEEP IN MUD.
Rain fell almost steadily, the track
was ankle deep with sloppy mud and
altogether il was most disagreeable
racing weather. The attendance, how
ever was good, and the bookmakers
spent no idle moments. Three favor
ties finished in front.

backed starter met with some inter
ference through the stretch, finishing
fifth. behind Pruewood.
Although far from being at his best,
Horton managed to win the conclUd-
