AI@ 49,
I4orses held at liberal prices in the
betting annexed five OF the six races
~ Emeryville yesterday. Virtually all
Of them were well played By their
stable connections. but no coups OF any
magnitude were attempted The dry
ine-out track and the mediocre callDer
of the fields make the picking OF win
ners puzzling for the public, and the
talent narrowly escaped a Waterloo.
The defeat OF the mighty Shot Gun
bv Collector Jessup was especially
disastrous. Jockey Koerner was once
more in the limelight with two winning
mounts. The other races went 70 boys

PURSE FOR JOCKEY MOUNCE
Jockey Mounce won the two-year-olo
race with which the programme was
-opened At the tempting odds Of 2 10 J.
Borel had the mount and gave the colt
q vigorous ride. The winner and
Oronogo raced like a team 10 the
stretch. where the latter weakened.
Borel was hustling his mount all the
way and won by less than length
Humero. the favOrite. was at all times
third and easily took the show from
GalmoOre, who appeared TO have re-
ceived very easy ride from c. VII
liams. The youngsters in this race
ran four and a half furlongs. Here
tofore this season the twO-y year-Olds
have not gone more than half a mile.
EVELYN q and BaVieca. who were max
ing their debuts in this event, did not
show anything.
TEA TRAY N WELL BACKED
A good thing" went through in the
second race. when Tea Tray II, backed
down 10 5 from S. defeated Furze by q
neck I'm a driving finish The sppren-
tice boy McClain had been intrusted
with the mount on Tea Tray and rode
the race OF his career. Weatherford,
running in new cOlOrs, was a distant
third. School Bell had a flash Of early
speed. but finished in the ruck. Fies-
ser, the favorite. gave another eNhibi-
tion Of faint heartedness in keeping
with his previous performances. : lie
opened up several lengths on his field
10 the stretch. only TO stop suddenly
al the paddock.
Dealv & Co.'S Daniel c. after a
lengthy list Of failures. finally found .
held that he could beat, in the third al
8 mile and a quarter. kOerner, from
6 rather unpromising start moved up
gradually with Daniel c and took the
lead away from Bill Perry on the
stretch turn. The result was not In
doubt thereafter and Koerner was cas-
ing up his mount at the end, where he
was three lengths in front OF MOdi-
cum. the favOrite. Billy Perry easily
saved third money BriarthOrpe
showed a flash Of his old form for a
short distance only. Pricl1les. played
from IS to 8. could never get near the
front.
uATCHFUL ALL THE WAY
Watchful. who went back from to
o and then was played down to s, won
the fifth race IN clever fashion after
Slack Prince had repeatedly swerved
cut in the stretch when ne lolzed to
have a good chance TO win. Watchful
had the foot of his field and was IN
front from wire TO wire. Nincentio,
quoted at the liberal price OF y TO I,
was in forward contention throughout
and had no difficulty in taking second
money when Black Prince ran out. Iras
ran an improved race and captured
the show.
Corn Blossom saved the day for the
favorite players by winning the clos
ing race The substitution Of ROerner
horse won cleverlV after following
Bryan and Boloman closely TO the
stretch turn. Bolomsn was of rather
poorly and the effort TO make up lost
ground told so severely that he tired
badly toward the end and finished out
Of the money Bryan hung on more
gamely than in his previous starts here
and captured the place at remuneratixe
ODDS, while Tarp took the show. While
Corn Blossom was the favorire Tarp
