The San Francisco call., 1907-01-02

Tony Faust, who was scratched out
OF the New Years Handicap yesterday,
will be q contender In the Nelson han
dicap for a44 ages at six furlongs,
which will be the feature OF today's
card At Emeryville. The handicapper
has arranged the weights so that Faust
will give Collector Jessup, whom he
defeated by two and half lengths over
the FuturI.y course in the Fallen Leaf
handicap last Friday, four more pounds
than upon that occasion. The other
contenders include Rubric, Miss OFF,
cious, Soufrere and Mary +. Miller will
be UP on Tony Faust, and the Hildreth
colt should be able to score his seventh
win OF the meeting. Jessup promises to
which Faust won. Soufrere showed
speed her only out. and probably will
be ready for today's race, but longer
route would be more to her liking. Miss
Officioua Is a capable FLY. but can
hardly be expected to be up to bruis-
ing race her first out. Mary ran
poorly her last out Rubric would
probably like route better

to win. in the first race on the card.

tably so on account of the large pro-
portion of the fair sex that figured in
its makeup. The grand stand espe-
cially presented an animated and at
tractiVe picture, the beautiful gowns
of the ladies contrasting very effec-
lively with the more somber costumes
of their well-groomed escorts. Society
was out in force and the clubhouse
was the scene of the most brilliant
gathering Of the racing season.
NOT UP TO STANDARD
The racing itself. on account OF the
heavy track resulting from the sudden
downpour OF Sunday, was hardly up to
holiday standard, but was, neverthe-
less. interesting if not of the thrilling
sort Proper, Walter B. Jennings
seven-year-o son OF Prestonpans,
scored a hollow victory in the New
Years Handicap, after the two most
promising contenders had scratched
out, winning in a gallop after securing
the best OF the start and leading all
the way. The time of the race was no
faster than was made by the cheap
selling platers in the second event on
the card. Proper had won this rich
stake twice previously. No other horse
has won il more than once.
The handicap was practically robbed
OF its interest by the scratching Of
Tony Faust and Sir Edward S. c. Hill

depend upon Logistilla 10 carry his
colors in the race, despite her we'll

led Hildreth to believe that his mare
might be able TO negotiate the going.
A reluctance to start his crack colt
in what promised to be a bruising race,
with the weight disadvantage under
which he was placed. was a factor in
his decision to scratch Faust which
was reached only a little prior to post
time That the elimination OF Tony
Faust from the race was a great dis
appointment to the crowd goes without
saying.
The scratching of Sir Edward was
scarcely less disappointing. The
scratching OF Borghesi had been a fore
gone conclusion and the public took il
as a matter Of course This had the
eject of reducing the handicap field
