Gossip Of the Track

The first demonstration of the sea-
son against decision of the judges
placing the horses at the finish came
in the third race, when Cloche dor
and Monaco Maid swept by the stand
head and head Nobody but the judges
were in a position to see which horse
had won, and the crowd breathlessly
waited for the numbers to go up on the
indicator. When Monaco Maids num-
Der went up as the winner there was
an outburst of disapproval from many
who had followed a hot tip on Cloche
dor. Monaco Maid was the favorite.
The judges were bit slow in putting
the numbers up, and this led
the Cloche dor hackers to i'm
agine that the decision was closer
than 1t really was. As a matter of fact,
all of the judges agreed that Monaco
Maid had won, but the fact that the
numbers of the horses were not plainly
to be seen occasioned the delay. The
official caller who calls the races from
the press stand, agreed with the judges
In placing Monaco Maid in front.
The stewards conducted an investiga-
ton into the Lotus race yesterday
Boots Durnell was questioned closely
and stated that he thought the filly
was in racing condition when he sent
her to the post on Thursday She had
been sent a half in :491a the previous
day, and appeared to be At. Although
he did not bet on the filly himself. as he
has been wagering very lightly since
coming from the East, he told all of
his friends, in all sincerity that he
thought she would surely win and adj
vised them to have bet down. He
said that he could not understand why
Jockey Wiley had not gone along with
the filly, and that it looked as II the
boy took her back all the way. So far
as the mare being sore was concerned,
Durnell said that she went to the post
no sorer than she was in her last four
starts, all Of which she had won. Wiley
was also summoned before the stew
ards and said that he was fearful that
the FLY would break down, so did not
attempt to urge her along faster than
she showed an inclination to go. The
stewards decided that there was moth.
ing to show that there was any crook
edness in connection with the filly's
sorry showing, but 1t Is probable that
Jockey Wiley does not stand any high
er in their estimation because of the in
cident, and his work in the saddle will
probably be closely watched from this
time on. Durnell was pretty sore on
the boy yesterday, and will probably
give him no further chance to bring
him into unpleasant notoriety. Why
Durnell should have ridden such a poor
boy in the first place is beyond the
public comprehension.

simmons feels that it would be doing
the boy an injustice to tie him up to
some stable that might have a lot OF
poor horses in addition to some good
ones, and as he is anxious to give the
boy every chance to make his record
as good as possible, he insists that the
boy shall ride as d free lance when
President Williams has no mount for
him. Doc Rowell, who is training the
Williams horses, is to have the privi-
lege of riding the boy on some of his
own horses, but otherwise Fitzsim-
mons will be the arbiter of the lads
saddle engagements. His services will
be in such demand that it Is likely he
will have a mount in nearly every race
from now on. Fitzsimmons says that
the boy has no thought for anything
else but his riding and is like fish
out of water when he is not in the
saddle. His riding weight is 81 pounds,
and he will probably be able to make
less than 100 pounds for years to come
An effort is being made to secure
cottage al Oakland or Berkeley for the
use of the boy and his manager during
the winter, so that they may be close
to the track. Three. mounts that he
will have today are Prince of CASTLE,

givlcg game, was successful one.
With only one veteran around which
to build team and with decided
changes in the rules, Coach Church

Wentworth and the friends Of the

football enthusiasts saw but little
hope of a winning team or even a
team that would make creditable

who understands every department. Of
the ga ne, was not discouraged and In
each game a marked improvement
was shown and the season ended with
the entire team playing like veterans.
