SHOOTERS
Owner of Colonel Jewell Bets but Ten
Bucks on Gelding - Colonel
Jack Loses to Light
Wool

The pikers have been rewarded at
last. Col. Jewell, at high price - 200
TO 1, and receiving heavy and scat
tered play, led fourteen other glue IA :
1orv subjects home at the end of a
mile and a quarter trip yesterday, ana
about every tenth person at Santa An
ita was there with a ticket on him
somewhere along the straight, place or
show route. George Rose was bumped
.or $4,000, Gull Holland and the Paris
club got theirs and the two pug
books gave UP iE generous quantities 10
the dollar customers.
AID il wasn't the owners fault that
he won e. e. Beatty, head of the firm
which has been digging up feed money
Tor the Colonel, was there with five on
the nose and another splash of the same
amount to decorate the limb hole, but
aside from the complimentary bet the
stable let their gelding run for sweeney
Dock Ogle pulled down S1I5O Off ms M
teen case investment, and some fem
irtne turtles back of the press box in
the grand stand nearly tainted when
they discovered their long shot hope
ahead of Rostof, Ell Primero and the
ether nags which made up the awful
field.
The Ace and Deuce special was about
the only thing to happen during the
afternoon which called for enthusiasm
en- the part of the medium sized crowd
which sat through the hot afternoon and
watched some mediocre plugs work out.
Teddy odge, at ] to 2, won the open
ing number, but after that anything
that scented of favoritism was barred
absolutely from passing the wire in
front.
Colonel Jack Beaten
What was about the biggest upset
of the day happened when Col. Jack,
held at 1 to on the strength of his
grand race the other day, was beaten
by Light Wool in what was strictly
two-horse race. Critic was also en-
tered, but right at the start Jockey
Harty slipped his stirrups and was out
of it thereafter.
Col. Jack and Light Wool went along
like a team, the Colonel turning for
home a snoot in advance. In the run
for the wire Schilling made the best
possible use of Light Wool and won by
two lengths. With no stirrups to brace
on, Harty had a hard time stopping
Critic, and the big gelding ran away
mile and an eighth before the boy,
nearly all in. managed to get him back
to the judges stand
One of the shocks of the afternoon
was felt when Antioch, looked upon as
a cinch to cop the baby race, performed
miserably and failed to finish in the
money. There was some talk around
the pagoda of investigating, but appar-
emily nothing happened, for no official
notice was given out. Antioch was
backed from 4 to to a notch lower,
and ran fourth, being beaten by Made
line Musgrave, Copper Princess and
Modena in the order named.
Billy Mayham and Royal Queen were
favorites for the third number at As,
but neither managed to connect with
the big money Laudable being better
than Royal Queen by nose. Bribery
was third, four lengths back and
head in front of McChord, which fin
ished well after a rough trip in the
early stages.
Burns gave Axeassin a most superior
ride in the last race on the card, and
when he was apparently beaten came
through on the rail at the end of the
seven furlongs to beat Canardo half
length L. c. Widrig was about the
same distance away, and was being
hard pressed by Ampedo for the show
money when they went by the wire.
