MISSES A FLAG AND LOSES
JUMPING RACE
Los Angeles Jockey Club Plans a
sweepstske Race, With Desousnto,
Gold Rose, oxford and Pel-
ham as Probable Starters
BY Forest Lowry

The feature event yesterday at Ascot
was supposed to be the steeplechase
first on the card. AS the race was run
the affair resulted in burlesque, eyi-
dently due to the fact that, with the
exception Of Tully, the poorest steeple-
chase jockeys at the track had the
mounts Five horses accepted the issue
and of that number only one finished.
That was Jim Bozeman, and he was
disqualified.
The entire field fenced well enough,
but there were mishaps which changed
the entire complexion of the race. TO
begin with Jim Bozeman finished first,
but his failure to run over the correct
course caused his disqualification. AT
ter taking the water jump Bozeman
and Cazador took it upon themselves
to run out and We're followed by Ed
Lanigan. The trio came scrambling
back and all but Bozeman retraced
their steps. Jim looked for the shortest
route and missed a flag. When the
race was over Judges Hamilton and
Cole promptly disqualified Bozeman
and awarded the race to Cazador. Ed
Lanigan was given second place, and
Flea, who lost her rider at the last
jump, got the show position. Waldo
lost her rider at the fourth fence.
Flea was always favorite around to
5, with Cazador second choice at 2 to
/. The public did not take well to this
race and little money was bet on the
result. Jockey Amos, who had the leg
UP on Flea, was ruled off after the
race for his inability to finish seated
with his mount. The judges We're OF
the opinion that Amos fell off on pur-
pose T. Mcbride, who rode, was sus-
pended for missing flag.
The second race on the card brought
together a shifty bunch of 2-year-olds,
with Lady Walker favorite at to 8.
Father Catcham, second choice in the
betting, backed from to 1 to s to 5,
turned up the winner. He was lucky to
catch the judges eyes, and his victory
was only due to Wee Girls running
out. She had all the speed of the
party and looked all over the winner at
the head of the stretch Under keen
urging she insisted on going to the out
side on the stretch bend and lost
several lengths as result. Father
Catcham, off full in his stride, over
hauled Wee Girl and held easy COM
mand thereafter, winning with some
thing to spare. Dorothea Fry ran
fair race and finished thru. Lady
Walker had no chance with the start
and wound up bad fifth.
Ray, winner of the third race, got
away flying and won easily after wear
ing down Wager and Bandillo. Po-
sition was much the best, and would
have won going away with any kind
of an even break. He got away abso-
lutely last and at the three-eighths
pole was fifteen lengths out of it. He
Jingler, played for a good thing, was
third. Rays price was 13 to 1 at post
time.
Pacifico closed up ground just after
passing the last turn in the fourth race,
ard in a long sustained stretch run
finished in front of Evea G, who in
turn beat Ralph Young for the place.
Baldwin's colt opened at to l in the
betting and closed at 10 to 1. He went
to the post practically unbacked. Bo-
logna, the favorite, got away none too
well, and was much used early making
up lost ground. She got to the front
early and set pace that cost her the
race. Evea G was under keen urging
and finished with a rush.
Blissful, held in the chalks at 13 to 5,
was a wild mare yesterday and showed
a high turn of speed in the fifth race
She got away full in her stride and held
her field safe. At the end Diamante
came up with rush and got the place
Club showed three lengths in front of
Andrew Mack.
-im Hurst, after running out on the
stretch bend, ran a smashing good race
and won the last event on the card
from Retador and West Brookfeld
Crown Princess, the favOrite, looked all
over the winner at the head of the
stretch, but tired badly in the run for
home. TyrOlian, away none too well,
had no chance with the start.
Track Notes
The Los Angeles Jockey club has in
view one of the greatest four cornered
races ever pulled off in this section of
the country. Horsemen at Oakland
have been figuring on the respective
merits of II. M. Tichenors Descuento,
Green p. Morris Gold Rose, j. w.
McLaughlin's oxford and c. T. Hen
shalfs Pelham. This is about the best
quartet of three-year-old that ever
faced a barrier on the Pacific coast.
Gold Rose has won all her races here
except the one in which she was left
at the post Descuento, whom II. M.
Tiehenor paid a fancy price for is
among the unbeaten. Oxford and Pei
ham have shown enough to place them
in class with Gold Rose and Des-
cuento. TO bring the quartet together
in sweepstakes the Los Angeles
Jockey club would guarantee a purse
