Although favorites captured half the
card at Emeryville yesterday, ii was
far from being proftless day for the
bool1ies. Two Of the winning choices
were held at such short odds that they
possessed no attraction for the ordinary
Epeculator. The other successful favor
ite came in for only half hearted sup
port On the other hand, the defeat
II Lisaro, favorite in the Heartless
-Sndicap. proved costly for the talent,

Fied g ton OF the public coin at about
even money. Lisaro's chances were
ruined when Romaine crowded Royal
Rogue into him and threw him against
the fence on the stretch turn. Jockey
Davis who had the mount on the favor
ite. sustained injuries to one of his
legs which necessitated the substitu-
ton OF another boy on a horse that
he had been csrded to ride in a sue
ceeding race. The horses side was
cut and skinned. When the accident
occurred Lisaro was within striking
distance of the leaders, after having
met with interference earlier in the
race. Pal had the speed and set the
pace virtually all the way. but was
nipped on the post by Ethel Day. which
closed with her usual gameness Ro-
maine, played from S to fours. looked
dangerous 100 yards from the finish,
but fell back bit at the very end and
wound up in third place The stew

Kirschbaum, who rode Romaine, for
the crowding that put the favorite out
Of the running.
ST. AVON GETS BRACKETS
St Avon, an odds on favorite in the
2 year old race that opened the pro-
gram, was inclined to loaf in the early
running and Jockey Kirschbaum had TO
ply the whip vigorously to keep him
from falling behind. Once in his stride,
however. there was nothing to it but
St Avon. and he won of by himself.
Sir Wesley, a youngster that had been
played on several of his previous outs.
was easily second. and Wanna beat the
100 TO 1 shot. Wherewithal, a head for
the show. Import, the second choice,
ran much below his notch and was at
no time near the money. He had been
well played for place and show by
many who disliked TO take the short
price laid against the favorite-
Water Thrush proved gamest of the
bad bunch that ran FIVE and half fur
longs in the second race. Outrun IN
the early stages, Keogh brought her
from behind in the stretch and sne
galloped over the tiring leaders. Sound

place by the Is to l shot Melar. Annie

landed the 60 TO / shot Hattie Carr in
third place by beating out Nettie Hicks
which had been following the winner
closely in the early part
SACHET AND LUCY c. LIFELESS
Royal Maxim, equal choice with
Treasure Seeker in the fifth, won witt
ease after coming from a long way
back. Frascuelo had the speed of the
field, led into the stretch and made q
game but futile effort to stall of the
winners closing rush. Treasure Seeker
ran third Sachet and Lucy c. well
backed, could not raise respectable
gallop.
William CahilPs Security looked sc
much the best in the closing race thai
The books would lay no better than
TO against him. In spite of the
shortness OF the odds he was played
and went TO the post at 1 to 5. Nut
ting made no mistakes with the horse
and it was only an exercise gallop for
him TO canter along several lengths

company. Nappa, the second choice
ran second throughout and FL Bernardo
easily beat the others for third money
