The San Francisco call., 1905-04-25
Rey Dare DiSposes
of His Field
HandiIy.
BY FRED e. MULHoLLAND.

Not in a month of Sundays has a
case ike the one offered at Oakland
yesterday been displayed So-called
good things were as plentiful as
crimped cards in Tonopah seven and
a half game.
1t drew full house too, the ring
taking on the appearance Of a half
holiday gathering. Many of the Easter
offerings were Of a a necessity post
poned, but St Francis, Mischief and
Rey Dare amply repaid their respect
i've admirers. Toupee and Ralph
Young were the only two successful
favorites.
ST. Francis. the big Rubicon colt,
took the Introductory two-year old
scramble. His price at one stage
touched 10 and with Bozeman in the
saddle he won ridden out from Com
modore Eastland and Legal Form.
Tommy Taylor did not get away any
too well with the favorite. Mazapan.
and cut no figure in the race.
MISCHIEF PROVES A HOT ONE.
The Pnlsbury boys rolled up several
hot ones in the Futurity course sprint
following, though several were cracked
in being removed from the shells.
The sugar-coated one proved to be
Mischief, a broad chestnut gelding,
which for nine seasons has been en-
gagged in hauling a frankfurter sausage
wagon up in Lake County. 1t was a
red hot thing all right and the book
les unwrapped it with the care that a
monkey would a North Beach tamale.
After much cutting and slashing the
odds fell from 80 to 10.
Travers. who had the leg up on the
Lake County behemoth, quickly
showed first and, in a drive, finished
more than a length ahead of Z. j. Cox
and Hi Caul Cap, two others from the
bottling works. Tooman. riding the
favOrite, finished back in the ruck
with a punctured tire.
After knocking repeatedly at the
door and being refused, Angelica cap
tured a purse. The price about the
filly in the betting on the five and a
half furlOng purse run receded from
TO 3 to l. then Lloyd Fountain
landed her an easy winner over Mag
gle Mackey and Cloudlight. The post
iavorite, Ethel Barrymore, developed
an inclination to run out on the
turns, which ruined her chances.
JACKFULL FAILS HACKERS.
Jackfull, dressed in his best and
decorated with a rock on his shirt
front that made a locomotive head
light look like a talloW dip, en-
deavored TO cold deck the big cluster
Of platers in the mile and a sixteenth
selection. Backed from Is down to 5,
he led for nearly a mile, when an
attack Of heart failure dropped him
into the show. James Nealons Rey
Dare, at a stall-fed quotation. sub
dued Fortunatus without an effort.
Big Bill" Knapp, the man behind
The bat" rode the winner
The bald l. AIDED brigade scalped
the layers over the win OF the seven
furlong selling run by Toupee. The
gelding, with Frank Sullivan up, was
plunged on at to 5. and N a hair lift
ing finish beat old Flaunt less than a
length. FL Chihuahua ran into the
show after cutting out the pace for
two-thirds of the trip.
While the action behind Ralph
Young, favorite for the concluding
mile purse number. was destitute of
results, il illustrated how money bet
on seemingly fast horses can be
burned up. Tommy Clark had the
first choice in the lead from the start,
docking couple of lengths before
Judge Denton. Magrane ran into an
ambuscade on the far turn, backing
UP and interfering with Forest King.
Perhaps the latter might have been a
contender but for this.
TRACK NOTES.

legs underwent the firing process and
blood poisoning later set in.
