r. F. Carman, millionaire, society
man and sportsman, cleaned up hand
somely yesterday when his colt Maya
zine won the Altadena handicap in q
close finish with Vox Populi. AS good
as to / was to be had on the chances
of Magazine, despite that the offieia
opening and closing odds are placed al
8 to 2, and the Carman banhroll was
unbucked and confidently spread over
the ring by his commissioners. Archi-
bald, who Is riding for Carman until
the owner and his stable jockey, Burns
get on good terms again, took excellent
care of Magazine, and he was not left
at the post, as was the case on his
previous out, when Carman bet a wad
In a jiffy after the barrier raised
Magazine shot to the front and had q
lead varying from two to four lengths
into the stretch. VoX Populi was away
poorly and was last at the back stretch
turn, where he began to pick up his
field and he entered the home stretch
in third place, a head behind Stanley
Fay and two lengths behind Magazine
Vox Populi was making one of his
formful stretch runs, but had been
badly ridden and was all out to get
within striking distance of Magazine.
From the paddock to the wire both
were under the whip, but Magazine
finished the stronger and had nearly a
length to spare at the wire. Stanley
Fay was third, nearly three lengths be-
hind Vox Populi.
Another Anderson special went over
according to schedule in the first and
no form was seriously fractured in the
unexpected victory of Spohn at z to l.
The Anderson platter simply was over
looked by the sharpshooters, and An
derson gathered the grapes in the sure
thing manner that usually follows
whenever he gets his good things prop
erly placed. Skye was the faVor1te,
being made so on suspicion and talk.
and figured third after being heavily
backed by Che suspicious ones. Archi-
bald also was the hero of this killing
He took Spohn away from the barrier
fully on his stride and within flash
he had him out nearly five lengths IN
front. lamar, also 81 mild good thing,
set out after Spohn and got rather close
before they turned into the stretch, but
in the run to the wire Spohn pulled
away under welljudged ride and won
by nearly two lengths. lamar beat
skye for the place by two full lengths.
Big Tim Sullivan finally got in the
winning owners division by the victory
of Trois Temp in the second, and Archie
thinner, who is trainer and manager OF
the stable, was able to smile afterward,
as the books laid - to l against his
colt. Powers and Schilling had ter
rifle duel through the stretch, and
Powers put it al over his rival, getting
the verdict by a head Stringency had
four lengths the better of the argu-
ment with the fast stopping Galinda
for the place Johnny Gardner thought
he had Tanama in a soft spot and Il
he had got away to a good start there
might have been q different story to
tell of the race, but MCGEE got away
from the post last of all and burned up
a big chunk of the winnings Gardner
made on the previous out Of his filly.
Archibald won the third race for
Carman when he outrode MusgraYe at
the wire and put over St ElmWood a
nose in front of Redgauntlet. Again
Carman cleaned up. PhalanX set the
pace in theI1rst half, but gracefully re-
tired when ST. Elmwood came along
side and looked him in the eye. Red
gauntlet was away very poorly, and too
much use was made Of him, in all prob
ability, In the effort at getting up with
the field. It was a two-horse race
through the stretch, and 1t seemed that
Redgauntlet would win as they neareG
the paddock gate, but St ElnWood was
the fresher, and in the fierce drive TO
the wire the Carman candidate got the
verdict by a nod. Varieties came from
nowhere and finished third, running
Taylor George scorched the home
stretch from the turn to the wire and
won the fifth race In one of his sensa-
tional bursts of speed that he shows
about twice in a season. He was an
odds-on favorite, but when he got away
last the hopes of his hackers began to
sink, especially when the speedy Lord
Of the Forest took up the pacemaking
stunt and seemed to be running away
from his field. Page hustled Taylor IKE
fury until he got him into second place
at the stretch turn. and it was all over
ever afterward. He tore down the
stretch like a wild horse and ran over
Lord of the Forest beating him tull
length. Aucassin, at 40 to l, showed.
Pal ran like he did not care and finished
next to the last.
Gene Wayland unloaded on Ampedo
and cleaned up nicely when his brown
horse ealloped home in front I'm the last
race of the afternoon. Ampedo was the
form of the race and figured to do just
as he did. but Joe Stokes blinded nearly
every eye on the track, while plunge
on Cobleskill helped to obliterate the
Ampedo viewpoint Black Mate ran a
good race and might have been closer
up with better start, but Ampedo was
running easily and beat him length
at the wire Prince of CASTLE, from d
poor start, got the show money by out
gaming Teo Beach I'm the final jumps
Joe Stokes faded away from second to
fifth and is not good enough TO beat
this bunch vet awhile.
