BATTLING NELSON STOPS CORBETT IN NINTH ROUND
ARABIC. PILOTED BY TREUBEL,
REATS LETOLA A NECK.
SCHOOLMATE A HEAD BEFORE SAN NICHOLAS
IN THE DISTANCE EVENT AT OAKLAND
BY FRED e. MULHoLLAND.

If the earls of frenzied finance and
the relentless ticker have made stall
walker of Thomas Lawson, the Boston
trust buster. Walter Jennings has his
troubles, too. His mare Letola lost the
six and half furlong handicap at
Oakland yesterday to ARABIC, by
neck. with nine out of every ten race
goers willing to go before a notary
and make oath that she was best.
It's only about four or five weeks
back that Walter disposed Of Arabo
to kansas" Price. Letola was the
choice of the talent, and nearly every
BODY separated themselves from any
loose change they had at odds of
seven to five. There was a time dur
ing the race when the coin looked
we'll set. Then big BilI' Knapp in
his anxiety to grab the wire first,
made sweeping turn into the stretch
with the favorite, while at the same
time Treubel on ARABIC stole through
lengths easily enough and down at
the finishing line slapped it on
Knapp by neck. Toledo ran third,
Venator pulled up lame and Andrew
b. Cook wilted away.
Despite the somewhat depressing
blow, the big crowd witnessed some
splendid sport. long shot enlivened
pIOCS0OlnSS, ana lnE6G IdVOTlloS DICK
ed up purses.
Finishing necks apart The Volt, rid
den by Bonner and a to favorite,
earned the decision over Sterling
Towers and Yellowstone for the in
troductory sprint. Sterling Towers
made all the running and should have
won, but at the last Bonner out
finished Wright. With any sort of,
racing luck, DR.. Sherman would have
been among the first three
Hugh MCGOWAN closed favorite over
Flaunt for the mile and a sixteenth
selling affair, and won all the way.
The second choice received excellent
handling from Birkenruth, but was
not good enough to do the trick. Tfr-
ing badly the last furlong, he was beat
en- for the place by Maxetta, a 80 to
shot with E. Walsh in the saddle.
Young Clark landed Pickaway first
for the five and a half furlong scram-
BILE at odds of 10 to l. The fast geld
ing received some support and leading
throughout, disposed of Fort Wayne
by couple of lengths in 1:0712. Silent
Water weakened the last sixteenth,
running good third. Jake Jones on
the favorite succeeded in getting lost
in the discard.
With Major ManSir in disgrace and
on the suspended list, but four started
in the mile and a quarter purse event.
1t proved good betting race, as
Schoolmate and San Nicholas closed
equal favorites, and Stilicho did not
lack for friends. Jones on San Nicho-
las cut out the pace and hung on in
a surprising manner, as the route
looked far for the black horse. Treu-
bel on Schoolmate crowded on all sail
the last three -SiXteenths of the trip
and riding an exceedingly vigorous I'm
ish, won by a head in 2:0612. Stilicho
was a keen contender at the close, be-
ing beaten less than a length. Col.
Anderson seemed shy on speed.
Just to be fashionable, Alarie with
the leg up on A. Mnskoday, favorite for
the final even-furlong purse run, ar
rived late at the. wire. Salable, the
mount of Mcbride and Is to in the
ring, carried a heavy stable commits
sion, and led from start to finish. True
Wing, the contender all the way, ran
third.
TRACK NOTES.
Treubel reached the wire first on
Schoolmate and ARABIC, both horses
being from the stable of kansas"
Price.
There was considerable discussion
over the finish in the first race, many
thinking Sterling Towers reached the
wire first. AS a matter of fact the
judges say The Volt won by neck.
Frank Skinner, the form chart man.
called the mare first by the same dis
tance.
1t is refreshing to view a ride now
and then such as jake Jones deliv-
cred himself of on Sir Preston. Then
when one sees a pretty piece of riding
it is all the more appreciable.
George Wentworth bet kansas"
Price and Tobe Ramsey $50 that Sal
able would be in front of The Mist
turning into the stretch. What great
State this is and how rapidly they
grow!
Charles Fox, a we'll known New
York turfman, is here after doing the
Ascot Park game.
