pace TO the stretch. where Eddie Dugan

more by a head.
MILLER LANDS VIOLA b
Viola B, recently repurchased by Dag
gle Smith, ruled favorite in the second,
stx-furlong sprint, as the result of
her third TO Jersey Lady I'm the Ascot
Oaks recently and Nillers presence in
the saddle. She justified the backing
that had been accorded her by going to
the front, standing Galvestonion on his
head and then withstanding a challenge
from Blanche c. She had some left at
the end, after winning by a half length.
Blanche c was second, three lengths
IN front of Galvestonian. Triumphant
closed stoutly after having met with
interference on the turn. Jerry Sharp,
a heavily played tip, bled and was
pulled up. Miller's horsemanship
cision Of the race and tumultuous
applause was given him in recognition
thereof.
Silver Sue, the favorite, had to be
considerably the best TO win the third.
as Graham got her away none too well
and she had to outrun and outgame
Princess Wheeler, who broke flying
and set a merry clip. The favorite
won by a neck Follow Me showed no
early speed. but succumbed through
the stretch to Judge, who might have
won with an even break. BurnOlette
ran very disappointingly, being at no
time prominent.
BAD RIDE BEATS RUBY
It was in the fourth. over the Flu
turity course, that Martinmas scored.
The stable jockey r. Davis, was up
and his chances We're so little thought
of that the odds against him drifted
back to 10 from 6. ". B. Jennings
mare. Ruby, was favorite and probably
would have won but for bad judgment
on the part OF Jockey Brown in carry
ing Lord Of the Vale, MilIer's mount,
wide at the stretch turn This allowed
Martinmss TO gain several lengths by
-
seizing the opportunity for clear sailing
along the rail. Ruby easily disposed
of Lord Of the Vale. but Martinmas led
her at the finish by two lengths. The
weakly ridden Funnyside was a close
fourth, but the remainder of the field
was beaten off. About the only ones
TO benefit by the victory of Martinmas
were a select few who knew that the
old sprinter had reeled of nice bit of
work the previous day and who took
a chance for small amounts that he
would have better racing luck than
Ruby.
A hot tip on Lord Of the Vale was
in circulation and the Belmont cast
of was a good-looking horse on his
way TO the post The race was the
best that he has run in California.
In the fifth Ed Sheridan, the favorite,
lust did defeat the long shot, Salable.
in a finish that set the spectators a
tingle with excitement. Miller was up
on Sheridan and it was his horseman-
ship purely and simply that saved the
favorite from defeat. Salable had all
his speed and McRae gave him the best
ride that the boy has ever put UP at
Emeryville. He took him to the front
as soon as the barrier went up, utilized
his burst Of early speed in opening a
gap of four lengths in the first quarter
and continued to ride him unexpectedly
well to the end. Miller made up
ground gradually with Ed Sheridan
and fairly lifted him in front by a
head after a furious drive with Salable
from the paddock TO the wire. Miss
Rillie, indiferently ridden by Hunter,
nosed out Avonalis for third money.
The latter had all her speed and hung
on better than in her last start
DIR LEGGO's GAME FINISH
c. c. McCanertys good handicap per-
former, DR.. Leggo. scored a sensational
victory in the final race of the day, at
q mile, as well-supported to
favorite. Charley Van Dusen's Dusty
Miller made Leggo extend himself to
win. W. Dugan was up on DR.. Leggo
and Brown was on Dusty Miller. Sea
Lad tore to the front as soon as the
barrier was released and set a merry
pace for a half mile. Dusty Miller had
been in close pursuit and wrested the
lead from the tiring pacemaker at the
half DR.. Leggo came with his old
time rush after making the stretch
turn and was head and head with
Dusty at the paddock. Dusty hung on
with great gameness and weakened
only in the final strides. DR.. Leggo
won by three-quarters of a length.

Popun finished an easy but distant
third Blondy, W. 3. Jennings Derby
candidate, was always outrun.
