Four favorites falling by the way
side and Johnny pullman being astride
the medium of a large sized killing
were the features provided at Santa
Anita yesterday. the rough stuff dealt
out by ]. Pluvius again making itself
felt by the slim gate receipts recorded
by the turnstiles. Several nice little
cleanups went through according 10
schedule and few more all but COPIED
for those in the know.
Bullmans little piece of work came
in the final number on the card SIX
furlong affair, the conditions of which
being that the winner was to go to the
Breeding bureau established by the
new California Jockey club. The orig
inal entries found field of five ready
TO sport colors, but when it came TO
racing two scratched out, leaving I'm
Joe. Beautiful and Best and Chestnut
ready for the race.
The betting unveiled I'm Joe as
TO 2 shot, with Beauty and the Beast at
Is and Chestnut wandering from is to
10 to /. With pullman in the saddle the
wise guys went to Chestnut, hammer
ing the figures to 4 TO l when the bugle
called them out.
The trio raced like a team for shor'
distance, and then Beautiful and Best
and I'm Joe began to draw away from
Chestnut. pullman bided his time, and
although five lengths out of it at the
stretch turn brought Chestnut along to
hook up with I'm Joe an eighth out
Burns, forced into the heavy going,
tried his best with the Carman horse,
but BulIman's work was too superior
and Chestnut was a winner by nearly
three lengths, with I'm Joe second.
Miller Wins Race
Walter Miller and Tom Williams
broke into the winning list when Blame
less, a Fatherless-Aurie colt, took the
2-year-old race in hollow fashion.
Blameless was suspected of being at
home in the going, and the best price
to be had against him was Z to D.. TINS
being retired to evens at the call.
Blameless galloped every foot of the
Journey from a good start, leading Joe
Gaitens home by four lengths. Ga1tens
and Horace H. ran second and thlrd
respectively all the way.
Monte Lucille, favorite at even money
for the first race, opened the day )
sport by winning easily, trimming Airs
and Budapest, the latter two money
horses having a hard fight in beating
four others out Of some part of the CON-
There was nothing startling in the
race. Laura E., with Buxton aboard,
puIIed the field into the stretch with
some lively pace, but stopped right
where there was something doing. NO
ME Lucille was second at this point
having been worked up gradually from
wav back, and with nothing in front
of her she forged ahead, to win by
three lengths. Airs was prominent IN
the early stages. only to be cut off and
shuffled to the rear. Burns perseVered
with her and in a hard drive managed
to get UP in time to gather place non
ors. Budapest being a head in front OF
Lady Kitty for the rebate.
Principally because Miller was up as
pilot Sparkles was made first choice
for the third number, but the best ne
got was a chance to finish in the rear.
Abraham was played as good thing
the odds being bumped by everybody
On the place, and he looked all over

ing DR.. Simrall by three lengths. Or
cagna was to be reckoned with, how
ever. and shot to the front to score,
with some to spare.
The break favored Abraham, and
many members of the pork brigade
yelled for their favorite son. DR.. SIM
rail- moved up and joined the pacemaker
as closely as Burns would allow, and

from sixth place to be third at the final
bend. At the paddock he caught the
firing Able and galloped ahead by three
lengths at the wire. Abraham stuck

hole Charlie Payne finishing fourth
after running IL nice race.
Josie at Last
Josie S. has been such perpetual
good thing that those who were on
slipped her name previous to the fourth
race and refrained from taking a
chance, and therein they displayed
their foolishness. There might have
been tip for the wise had they
watched Hard Loser Jones laying tops
on Nuns Yelling, the favorite, but the
OPTICS failed and the Nun was fancied
at even money at post time. She got
nothing, Jilletu mailing the place
money and Virginia Lorraine the show.
Nuns Yelling had no excuse to offer
for finishing out of the money-saVe
Hughey Jones. Away in second place,
with only Jillett in front, she rounded
the final turn we'll up to the pacemaker,
but failed dismally when called on.
Josie S. was fourth when the real go
ing was reached and even Callaghan
could not stop her from passing Jillett
and winning by half a length. Virginia
Lorraine grabbed what was left be-
cause there was nothing closer than
Nettie Hicks.
The educated ones called the Chip
pewa win in the fifth number shoo-
in mainly because Vice President Hol-
land and Dick Williams, owners of the
Pasadena stable, never lose when the
price is right. It's another story when
The Pasadena entry is the short priced
bird, but Chippewa was backed from
to 1 to 3D. and won by half length
from Rip Rap. Hi Caul Cap was third,
but Baron Esher the favorite by ev-
erything that is logical in straight horse
racing, did not get in the money. Per-
haps the report that r. f. Carman bet
-, CsI,ipnava was in a measure right.
