FEW more rulings like that made
by Presiding Judge Hamilton o,
Il Santa Anita park yesterday ana
NO more charges of crookedness can be
directed against the turf-locally'- at
least Seeming something unsavory III
the manner in which the fourth race
was run. Judge Hamilton went right
10 the root of the evil and suspended
Jockey e. Martin from accepting
mounts offered him other than those
from his own stable, the Pasadena
Creston's entry will be refused in tine
future, the bookmakers' sheets are pc
ing examined, Preen may meet with the
same fate as Creston and dire Things
NAV be in store for some of the most
prominent horsemen now racing at the
Arcadia track.
81 have issued a ruling which makes
Creston's entry void at Santa Anita
said Judge Hamilton, land have sus-
nended Martin from taking outside
mounts. The tookmakers' sheets are
being examined, and until our investi-
cation is r. an end there is no telling
what will happen.
while Preen and his owners may be
cleared, there hardly is just reason
10 be found why Preen should beat
creston. Preen's last race, in which he
led for a great distance of the mile
event. was good, SO there may have
been the same honest effort on his part
today"
The race in question, in which vice
President Hollands jockey, e. Martin
is tied down to the Pasadena stable
and U. 2. de Arman's crack. Creston'
is barred for good, came fourth on the
program, and was screwy looking
event indeed. Preen, held at to l in
the betting, led all the way, while Cres-
ion. the to 2 favorite, finished abso =
lutely last, although well up when turn
ing for home.
No Play at Track
While there was no appreciate play
On Preen It the track, many of the
handbooks in town were well filled with
bets on him, and If the report in circu-
room killing of no small magnitude was
put over Preen belongs to Barney
Schneider, but Trainer John Powers,
who has bet on the horse for liberal
amounts on each preceding start, was
there with but a small ticket only. If
somethin went through it appears that
De Arman is the man who eng
reered it.
The Preen race was known as the Old
Badly handicap, and field of six came
ont to try conclusions over the six and
a half furlong route. De Arman's pair,
Creston and Early Tide, were made ia
yorites ID the general public went to
them literally, knocking the price from
& to 5 to 8 to at the bugle call. Preen
orened at As and went to 81, While
Botanist came in for a following and
the other two got but little.
Preen went right to the front at the
rise of the ribbon, with the De Arman
pair coming next. They made no effort
10 catch the leader, and entering the
stretch Creston was within striking dis
lance, in third position. Here ne
stopped for some unaccountable reason
(perhaps Col. Hamilton will dig up the
explanatory and everything in the race
went by him. Early Tide kept on to
be second, with Botanist third.
Aside from the sensation provided in
this race = young jock named Shriner
provided the features for the afternoon,
riding a 90 to l shot, Lucky Lad. to
victory and finishing second on Bird of
Passage, in the so to 1 class. Just for
winning the race Jack Bennett went
liter Murray's meal ticket and secured
Lucky Lad for 700 bucks.
The opening race went to Aunt Polly
which Miller managed to get in front at
the word and kept there to the end
Jake Ward, an outsider, managed to
beat Sir Russell a head for second
money, Diamond and Brazil both being
there to fall a little short of securing
anything.
Hampass Scores Again
Hampass was again the best baby il
the bunch, and schilling had no trouble
in passing Steel in the final furlong and
winning by four lengths. Madeline
Musgrave received the short end of tbs
start, but Musgrave kept on trying ant
managed to boot her into the show hole
Slippery was well played to win thu
third, and flattered her hackers by lead
ing the big flock almost to the paddock
Here she backed up and Lucky Lac
came out of the bunch to score by foul
lengths Kirkfield Belle and Airs boil
came from the rear and managed to ge
in front of the firing Giovanni Balerit
for what was left.
Uncle Henry was made a to sho
over the eight others entered to max,
the seven furlong jaunt, which cam'
fifth on the program, and he ran like |
/ to 10 bird. Schilling took his tim,
with the favorite, and after Illusion an(
few others we're through he busted
in to tally easily. Shriner worked hare
on Bird of Passage and put the so to
chance over ahead Of Bellchamber.
The stingiest price of the day wa
tackled up alongside Mary F.'s nam
for the closing number, and Jennings
recent castoff never left her hacker
in doubt. 1t must have hurt Martin t
DO it, but he kept the Pasadena stable
