The San Francisco call., 1906-12-20

The card for today looks to be the
hardest of the meeting to pick win
ners out Of Glass is lacking, and every
race seemingly has several close con-
tenders Cheers, Bushthorpe Avona and
Pasodella all look to have chance
in the first. The distance will prob
ably favor Cheers, but as he is on
the verge of breaking down, he is a
bad betting proposition. Williams will
again ride him. Both Bnshthorpe and
Avona have been stopping.
Peerless Lass has been running con-
sistently second. Notwithstanding poor
handling by little Eddie Dugan, who
seems unable to do the filly justice. He
will be up again today Mcbride will
again ride Mabel Holiander and she
may show Improvement enough on her
last race, which was better than the
previous ones, to win Korosilany and
Peligroso must also be considered.
The third looks like a very close
thing between Comilfo. Aaron ] and
Jake Ward If Miller rides Comilfo,
as seems probable. his horsemanship
NAV decide the issue. Aaron has a
great reputation as q sprinter, to which
he has not lived up to here.
Shady Lad may win the fourth if a
good boy is up, but it is a tough-look-
ing race at best. All but Irish Jew and

may not be ready, as he has only re-
Gently arrived from the East, where he
failed to win.
The Only Way had no chance with
the start his last out and may do bet
ter today. He is working good and
could win on his Eastern form. Baker
is a ard-luck horse and seems to run
his best races when he is up against
classy performers Cheripe is consist
" q
good race, but has shown nothing since.
Gateway ran a good race his only
out, and may be able to take the
measure of Critical and Massa in the
last. Critical is not considered as good
as formerly. Massa has been running
consistently The others seem to be
outclaSsed.

Gossip of the Track

". G. Yanke. who has been unwav-
ering in his faith in I'm Joe, reaped
the reward of his perseverance when
the colt placed yesterday at long odds
Yanke did not believe that I'm Joe
could win the race, but he did have
sufficient faith in the colts ability to
be a keen contender to lead him to
back the colt literally at 90 to l for
place and to 1 for show. When I'm
$4,000 in wagers. Tt Will be remem-
bered that T A Davies recently
claimed I'm Joe out of a selling race
in which he ran poorly and that Yanke
repurchased him at an advance over
the figure at which Davies claimed him.
The Keenes, ]. o. and @. h. have
made a novel wager with Barney
Schreiber The former entertain the
idea that they have some OF the best
yearlings on the coast, while Schneider
has unlimited faith in the capabilities
of his youngsters from Woodlands
farm in Missouri The result of a re-
cent discussion of the point at issue is
that whenever the two stables are rep
resented in the same baby race after
the 1st of January IL will cost one OF
other OF the parties to the wager SIS.
The relative positions of the young
sters at the finish will settle the bet
in each case.
