ADoRATIoN, LEFT AT POST,
RUNS EXCEPTIONAL RACE

Another story than Edwin T. Fryer's
victory in the third might have been
recorded if Alteration, post time favor
ite over Earl Rogers and seven others,
had been sent away from the barrier
with her field. Decker's filly was sixteen
lengths out of it at the quarter, but at
the end she was but four lengths and
a nose back of the winner.
With Alteration denied the early run
ring Lycurgus rushed Earl Rogers out
to set the pace. Martin following in close
attendance with Edwin T. Fryer, and
Josie's Jewel coming next in line. Adora-
tion was last at the half and fifth into
the stretch, moving up four places in a
quarter of a mile.
Making pace for the others was too
much for Earl Rogers and after straight
ening away for home he was collared by
Fryer. A short fight put the Walker
entry out of it. and Edwin T. Fryer
rolled under the finish with three lengths
advantage. Rogers was a length ahead
of Josies Jewel the latter being hard
pressed to retain show money from
Alteration, which she beat by nose.

Woodman, who was also on hand to hit
Reynard, had recovered from their first
dismay. McCarey had fingered in town
to talk fight to Kid Webster, and he was
about three minutes too late to bet his
good thing.
Doc Tate was there with a nice little
bet on Grindstone, and after Fullum's
horse had won at a long price he was

u. S. C. FRESHIES
BEAT SOPHS 26-9

In whirlwind game of basketball yes
terday afternoon, the U. s. G. freshmen
won the championship of the university
by defeating the sophomores with the
lscore of 2S to g.
The score at the end of the first half
was IS to 6, but Swantek was put In to
guard Coloneus in place of Rickard, and
on account of his size was able to keep
him from rolling up the score as he did
in the first period. Osborn was the best
man on the side of the sophs, making
five of the nine points for his team. But
the excellent guarding of Henderson
kept him from starring as much as he
usually does. Hall played hard game
at forward, but used all of his endeavors
to get the ball to Cooneus, who is more
accurate at throwing goals.
After the game between the sophs and
the freshies, the fourth acs and the five
from the law school played short game,
which was won by the latter by the
close score of IL to 10. 1t was a hard
fought game and the result was not de-
cided till the referee blew his whistle at
the end of the second half. Barrett was
the best man on the side of the law
yers and Shute on that of the preps.

With Guy Burns in the saddle, Progress
was made favorite over the ten platers
opposed to him in the second race, and
went out to run the seven-furlong course
well backed. Pepper and Salt and Sun
Mark were also fancied. but the bulk of
the play was on r. =. Carman's geld
ing.
Burns went tight on to set the pace
with Progress. and at the first calling
station was four lengths ahead of The
Sultan. which was followed by Taxer
with Red Reynard fourth. Taxer and
The Sultan traded places to the three
quarters. and into the stretch Progress
was still in front. with The Sultan two
lengths back, half length in front of
Red Reynard.
Progress faltered at the paddock. and
the fast coming Red Reynard, under
drive with whip and boot. caught him
hundred yards out. The Sultan hung
on. and in a ding dong finish Red Rey-
nard, although swerving and ready to
stop. obtained the verdict by three-quar-
ters of length. Progress was half
length in front of The SULTAN for the
place. and Rama, which ran clear around
her field, landed in fourth position.

c.IIy Mckinney Puts Over Good Thing
in East End, Which Takes
Fifth Event Heavily
Backed
ny !. G.. GRIFFIN

AR. THOMAS w. LAWSON of Bos-
MI ton was not on the ground at Santa
1Ll Anita yesterday to point out the
evils of the System and the dire do
ings of Friday, the Thirteenth, to the 'in-
vestors." and the result was sad after
noon for the form players. Those with
a rabbits foot in their kick were all to
the good but the wise fraternity was
sadly at sea, and not until the last half
of the card were the sharp shooters able
to get action for their scrip.
The way long shots poured in on the
first three races was certainly one large
upset Grindstone took the first with as
good as 60 to / against his chances, Red
Reynard came to life in the second with
fifty as opening odds, and Edwin 7.
Fryer copped in number three, fifteens
being the price laid against him. Short
prices prevailed from here on, and the
talent wound up in fairly good shape.
There was only one purse race on the
card. and this Edwin I. Fryer picked out
Rogers and Josie's Jewel for the big
end of the money. Alteration, the favor
lite, was pounds the best for after being
left at the post, she picked up her field
and was a close contender for honors at
the finish.
Had not heavy play from the Carman
bank roll sent Silberschwanz into favor
itism for the fourth race, L. C. Widrig
might have nailed the honor of being
the original first choice to win during
the day, but as it turned out he was on
the post. The Carman trick failed to do
much, retreating in the stretch until not
even show money was coming to him.
Billy McKinneys first good thing Of
the season turned up in East End, which
was played to a farewell by Mckinney
and his friends BAIL was unbottled
along with East End, but Mckinney beat
the Pasadena stable to it and slipped his
entry over winner. Alma Boy broke
in and spoiled the place tickets held by
Brazips admirers.
Waterbury was the bona fide favorite
of the day, and helped regain some of
the change the Carman bunch lost on
Silberschwanz Hereafter received a
smart play. but when it came to the real
shooting Waterbury was the only one to
hit the target. Red Bill, which was con.
