fell on Jones.
There Is no doubt but that Weller

GOOD SPORT
PRO VIDED
FOR TO-DAY
CRITIC SHOULD WIN FOURTH
RACE EASILY
Waterbury, Josie's Jewel and creston
Look Best in Their Respective
Races-tIarry soott's
Chances Good
BY IRVING b. CLEMENT

The fields will not be large this after
noon in any of the events, as the races
did not fill, as was expected by Secre-
sport and close finishes, as with the ex-
ception of the fourth race the other
events are well balanced. Critic, on his
good race in the Vernon selling stakes,
is in soft spot in that event
Waterbury Should Win
Although carrying 115 pounds, Water
bury is my selection for the first race,
but is no cinch, as he is inclined to sulk
at times and rarely runs two races alike,
so they may beat him .oday. Gaga is in
light and a fair sort of two-year- old that
has good chance to beat Waterbury if
he does not run kindly. Two Bills is fit
and ready and will set merry pace for
a while, but he is windbroken and should
about drop in third position. Bryan and
Orcagna have good outside chances to
get part of the purse.
Josie's Jewel Looks Best
Taking line on Josie's Jewels easy
defeat of Golden Shore, she looks best in
the second race. Preston will ride her
and probably get her away in front to
smother her field for speed all the way
as she is reab good right now. Ed Ball
ran some good races at Oakland and will
like the fast track, but can hardly beat
the top one: Glenecho. If he performs to
his workouts, may upset calculations and
beat them all, as he has not shown his
true form here. The others have only an
outside chance.
Third Is Open Race
Macias. Barney OIdfeld, Snapdragon
and Jane Swift figure very close. Ma
cia's only effort here was an excellent
one, for he sprawled in the going that
prevailed that day. AS the track will
probably be fast today, looks shade the
best. Barney Oldfield is a fair sort of
colt and will give the one that beats
him stiff argument. Snapdragon was
short in his last out, and that race should
put him on edge to be close up with the
leaders at the finish. Jane Swift, may be
surprise, as she is working we'll and
figures close up. The others do not figure
with much of chance.
Critic a Cinch
His race last Saturday showed he was
in good form and he has only a mediocre
lot to beat, which he should do. Jocund
looks just as easily second best and has
only Court Martial to beat. The latter,
Los Angeles herald., 1907-12-19

although not of much account. has shown
speed in several starts and should hold
the balance safe, Search Me has an out
side chance to finish in the money.
Sixth for creston
His last race was an evcellent effort as
he met with lot of bad racing luck, and
when got clear sailing 1t was too late.
This distance is to his liking, and as there
is not much early speed iit the race. NAV
lead from barrier to wire. Avontellus has
more weight than he likes, but iooks best
of the others on his last race and should
beat out Mary Candlemas for the place.
Joyner and Ellie must be given some con-
sideration, for If the pace is fast they
will be running when the others are
ready to lay down.
Harry Scott May Be First
1t has got to be habit with Creston
to win and as he is just now in good run
ming form should repeat his last race and
win today again. Hal will like six fur
longs as he is sluggish at the barrier
and does not seem to have much early
foot. He should beat out Lackfoot for
the second honors, but will have to do
better than he has shown in these parts
to beat Creston. Lackfoot looks to have
a mortageg on the short end of the purse,
but the unexpected Is liable to happen in
racing, and either Senator Backham or
Chief Desmond, both of which figure
close together, have chance to beat
him on their best races.
