VIII face the barrier again. The half
brother TO Geyser carried III pounds
and had a decided call in the betting
over the other six starters. w. Davis
got him away a length in advance Of
his field. but appeared content to wait.
He permitted Venator and AlbuIa TO
make the running. Entering the stretch
Nenator had enough ana after consid-
cradle urging the favorite passed and
defeated Albula by half a length. Roy
al Rogue and Kenilworth were never
factors.
Davis also rode two other winners
and now gives promise Of making good
with a vengeance. He is q quite un-
assuming little fellow, displays rare
coolness IN race and is bound to
become popular with turf goers.
FIVE CHOICES ARE BEATEN.
Even though the racing was inter
esting things seemed quiet after the
big throng Of the day before. Five
choices took the count and the book
makers must have swept up a little
dust.
W Davis began operations by plac-
ing DR.. Sherman over the plate winner
az The Introductory sprint, for which
field Of twelve went TO the post. The
Doctor closed second choice in the bet
ting and won easily from Troy the
mount Of Knapp. Tullett finished third
on the outsider. Skip Ne.
Smiling Mickey Mclaughlin astride
the TO ! favOrite, Nunan, managed to
get lost in the discard.
George Crosswaite appears to have
lost all form in the saddle. for he made
a sorry botch Of plotting Bose Eley. the
II 10 10 choice for the. two-year-old
event. The Weinberg youngster had
shown well in morning trials, but in
the race didn't strike a gait fast enough
10 beat a fat man. Helgesen had the
mount on James Nealon's CalIaghan,
the second choice. which he landed
clever first, after an early drive. Platt
20 10 ] shot from the Stevens stable,
came through at the close, downing
Cardinal SartJ a head for the place
Bose Eley was never in better than
sixth position.
AUNT POLLY FAILS hackers.
Judging from her showing in the six
furlong selling affair Aunt Polly must
have dissipated on Thanksgiving day.
for she gave her hackers an awful
shock. Chaperoned by Mclaughlin and
2 4 10 5,chotce. the mare couldn't shake
up speed enough TO perspire. As it was
two l3 10 ! shots. Berendos and Doub-
let, fought ii out at the finish Helge-
sen handed the former and Diminishing
young Lloyd Fountain, earned the YER
dict by q neck. Joe Frey cracked no
ice losing the show to old Mocorito
by wide margin.
Tom Ryan took his first purse Of the
meeting with Flaunt. the aged Forest
er gelding. disposing Of a big field in
the mile and fifty yard selling fixture.
". Davis had the leg up on Major Ten
ny, which was played Gown to to >
favoritism. When the Major took the
lead from Play Ball in the stretch il
looked all over but getting in line.
Flaunt, however. responded to Ander-
sons request and coming like a streak k
the last fifty yards nipped the favorite
a neck on the wire. Play Ball was a
good third
Heather Honey annexed the last
purse. starting At odds Of II TO 2 Davis
came from behind with the little mare
and in an exciting drive with Tele-
phone and Romaine the favorite re-
ceived a neck decision over the for
mer. ROmsine was unquestionably
pounds the best. but Sullivan's sleepy
tactics accomplished his downfall
TRACK NOTES.
Davis did not carry off all the honors.
FOR HeIgesen had a good day himself,
plotting two winners and once being
second.
The Oakland game must have made
quite a hit with Tony Barrett, the
young Chicago turfman. Tony only
went down TO Los Angeles early in the
week, and yesterday George TuthiIl re-
ceived wire from him requesting stall
room for his old camDaigner Barrack.
George Webb, who went back East a
fortnight or so ago to pick up a stable
oi horses. is on the way back from
benninEs with a string Of seven.
