MAGAZINE is the hard luck horse
WI of the track just now. In his last
4tL two starts, including that of yes
terday afternoon, Carman's good son of
Magazam has suffered defeat and all
because Guy Burns, usually crack
pilot. was suffering from off periods
and did not ride the colt properly.
Magazine was favorite for the fourth
race yesterday, and coupled with Marx
Anthony II as the Carman entry re-
ceived the support of hundreds of we'll
meaning bettors with victory prac-
tically his after having shaken off
everything that was given a chance
to beat him, Burns eased his horse up
and spent his time watching Creston'
which had failed to stick with Maya
zine. Sir Edward, coming like an eX-
press train on the inside, nipped Maya
zine, and before Burns could get ms
mount into full stride again had thun-
dered over the finish nose in front.
There were other horses in the race
besides these two, but when it came
to the final drive they were not in the
same division. Col Bob, with a jockey
in the saddle, might have been able to
score. but when Taylor is put aboard
all hope is lost The good little colt
is fast losing his courage because Of
Taylor's incompetency, and it will not
be long before Ed Alvey's grand little
animal is spoiled so far as class is
concerned.
Creston assumed the lead as soon as
Dryer released the spring at the six
and a half furlong station, but before
he had Travelled a quarter of mile
Magazine romped to the front and
stayed there to the paddock. Taylor
made an effort with Col. Bob. but was
unable to get through, and although
well up with the leaders at the stretch
turn could do nothing in the final drive.
Burns Is Asleep
After being Strengthened for home
Burns sat down to ride his horse to
beat Creston, and an eighth out he had
an easy and commanding lead. The
boy failed to watch the open space
near the rail and at the end of the
grand stand Schilling drove Sid Ed
ward into the lead. Burns shook Maya
zine up in a final rally, but Sir Edward
was not to be denied and won by long
nose. Creston had no trouble retaining
show honors.
Jane Swift. carrying top weight of
115 pounds, was a handy winner in the
opening number on the card, seven
furlong purse event for three-year-
old FLIES. Daily. making her first start
and held at 50 to 1 in the betting, was
second, beating Valley Stream by a
narrow margin. From some parts of
the stand it looked like Valley Stream
for the place money. but the judges de-
cided otherwise. The winner was al
ways favorite at around l to ..
Aauiline. making her initial bow to
Santa Anita, showed all her speed for
the first quarter of mile. then backed
up and allowed Jane Swift to make her
own pace. Valley Stream and Barbette
aIternated in second place until the
stretch, where Daily came through
with a rush and got up in time to beat
Valley Stream a whisker. Barbette
faded away and was behind Dixon
Belle at the finish.
Schilling rode one of his good races
on Thunder Hill and in a fast finish
annexed the baby race from May Dieu-
dome. with Annie Wells third. May
Dieudonne held first place in the
hearts of the CHANDELIERS being at less
than even money, while the winner
could have been obtained in the mar
ket at threes.
Calera led the way into the stretch
and then succumbed to Thunder Hill,
the latter holding a safe lead until the
final jumps, where May Dieudonne en-
tered into the RECKONING. Schilling
kept his mount straight and managed
to be a head in front at the wire. Annie
Wells always held third position safe
and was a length in front of Larry
Mulligan to grab the show money.
Old Don Domo was given a hand
when he went by the grand stand on
his way over to the five and half
furlong pole in the third number, but
the gray ghost was unequal to the task
of rewarding his admirers by cashing
their winning tickets. Mary F. and Es-
oalante both leading him home. The
latter was favorite, with Mary f.
next in demand and Don Domo at
to 1.
Mary F Leads
Mary F. jumped into the lead at the
start, and was closely attended for hall
a mile by Adelbert Belle and Esca-
Iante. Here Belle decided the pace was
too warm and Don Domo took her place
with the leaders. There was no change
in positions to the end, save that Mary
r. opened up two and half length
gap at the finish, Escalante leaving
the gray streak four lengths behind.
Despite Taylor's presence in the sad.
die Crepps Beckham was good enough
to win the fifth race, and at the enc
of the mile trip was a length in front
of Taxer, which was half a length
ahead of Fastoso. Rustling Silk, favor
lite all the time, could get nothing
finishing in the ruck.
Until the six-furlong pole it looked
like Taxer. as Anderson's trick opened
