BY j. r. Jefferv

Long shots had an inning at
Emeryville yesterday. Four of
them were under the wire at
prices ranging from y to Is to /
One lone favorite-and odds-on
at that-managed to save the dav
from being an utter rout for form
players. The other winner was
d generous-priced second choice
1t is doubtful if any OF the long
shot players made a success OF
picking the winners, however. as
IN nearly every instance the gen
erous-Prioed horses that came in
for attention at the hands of the
sharpshooting brigade failed to
turn up as the winners. Horses
which were generally considered to
nave little or no chance to down the
short-priced ones surprised the talent
py wlnning-in some cases handiIv.
s. piece parlayed on the six win
hers OF the day at the best prices OBJ
tdlnabie would have netted the specu-
te1of the handsome sum Of $2,422, ,7S0-
Il ne could have found a ring that
would stand the pressure
that nobody had the good fortune to
alight on the winners of the dav 10
any extent was evidenced bv the fact
tnat every bookmaker doing business
IN the ring made a handsome cleanup.
bllly Engstrom was reputed as the
largest winner Of the day. having
cleaned UP TO the extent Of $4,000. Joe
Harlan won $500 to the day Bill Jack
man $4,000, Johnnie Lyons $500 and
others IN like proportion 1t is prob
able that the combined winnings Of the
ring was little less than $4,000
TWO WINNERS WELL PLAYED
The only two winners that were
PLAYED 10 any appreciable extent were
Orchan and Sir Edward. The former
was played down from to s1k to l.
Sir Edward was literally backed at
8 70 s. The best-played horse Of the
day was Princess Titania, favorite in
the FireQzi handicap. Millins mare
carried ton OF the public money. but
ran unplaceo. There also was a heavy
play on Platoon in the same race. but
the gelding could never get to the
front and finished outside the money,
after laying in third place almost TO
the wire Barney Schreiber's colt
Fred Mulholland, was the medium of
a tremendous plunge in the 2-year-old
event. but was not good enough to beat
the winner. as Schneider himself learned
10 his sorrow. after betting $500 on the
colt. besides holding him out in his
book
ED LILBURN HEAVILY BACKED
Ed Lilburn. favorite in the first race,
was another horse that was played as
II he was already in. but he failed to
deliver the goods. Military Mans de-
feat in the second race cost the public
world Of money, and Lazell, the IA
VOrite ia the fifth race. also was the
medium for another heavy public los
ing Benvclio's sudden and startling
improvement over his race Of Satur-
day, when he was beaten way OF, occa-
STONED great deal Of unfavOrable COM
ment. while the victories achieved by
the Iong-priced horses which had
not shown their form since the opening
were regarded with some complacency.
Benvolio is owned by the Dealey stable.
Starter DWyer was in good form, and
sent every field away in fine shape. The
track was fast, despite the rain which
fell early in the forenoon. and the at
tendance was again large Jockey
honors were once more well divided,
no boy winning more than one race.
The Hildreth stable started two horses,
and both of them were bet on TO no
avail by the stable connections.
NINE IN hAAb
There were nine contestants in the
initial race OF the day. The favorite,
Ed Lilburn. with Graham up. was slow
in getting away, and never got TO the
front There was considerable speed
in the race, the AIissourian going out
in front for a quarter, after which
Hersain set the pace to the stretch,
where Orchan, well handled by r.
Davis. come through on the rail and
by nearly three lengths. Metlakatla
came from far back to wrest the place
from Hadden, with all the others stop
ping.
ChoIk Hedrick scored a sensational
victory in the second event, when, rid
den by Joe Kelly, he brought the colors
Of that veteran turfman, Green B. Nor
ris, from FAR back to win by nose
from Petit Due, a 10o-to-1 shot, Mill
tary Man, the odds-on favorite, and
Earl Rogers, all Of which were driving
for the wire in a neck-and-neck finish.
ETedrick came like a cyclone on the out
side. and just did get his nose in front
as the four dashed under the eye OF
the Judges It was the most exciting
finish Of the season to date Laura

uently for while and then quit, evil
dently being short
OCEAN SHORE Is 1T
In the third event. a fve-furlong af-
fair for 2-year-olds. there was nothing
10 il but Ocean Shore, whose owner
was confident Of victory, and gave the
tip 70 a number Of his friends 10 their
