Cured at Santa Anita yesterday to mark
the afternoon as other than the most
featureless handed out this season Three
favorites, all of them odd-on, scored for
the talent. but as many good things went
astray the books mad fine time of it,
The baby race demonstrated just what
can be expected of r. F. Carman's daugh-
ter of waterboy and Rose Carlo. Away
poorly and not up with the front three
she responded gamely to the bat, and
after a short brush with Joe Gaitens,
came away like a flash to be winner by
a full length.
The start of tie race favored Frank
Clancy Knapp getting him off in full
stride. Banthel and Joe Cations followed
closely, and turning for home it looked
as though Paradise Queen could get no
part of the purse. Burns persevered with
her, however, and by coming through on
the rail he was in position to challenge
the others at the paddock. The filly
failed to swerve under the whip and was
handy winner, Joe Cations getting the
place. with Banthel third
There was no other purse event on the
program the next thing in the line of
class being the opening number, six
and-a-haif furlong selling affair for which
nine fair platers sported silks. Succeed, at
s to l. was the winner, with Alteration
second and Monte Lucille third Lady
Vashti, played for a good thing and held
out by Jack Atkins and Hughey Jones,
could do nothing under thu handling
given her by Millano and was fourth.
Ruscimo was favorite but would have
been last at the end had the whole bunch
left the post together.
Saucy M Left
When tine barrier was sprung Saucy M
decided to tarry a while and Monte Lu-
Gle assumed the task of pacemaker. IL
lusion tried her luck at following for a
while, but quickly fell away and left Sue
coed in striking distance. In the stretch
Martin let her down and she managed to
stall off Alteration by nearly length,
Monte Luci,e losing the place money by
a head in a fierce drive. Lady Vashti ran
a nice race, but her poor beginning
cooked all chance of landing some of the
coin.
With Diamond the favorite,. after
scratches had been recorded, Red Garter
was played as good thing to win the
third race, Mintia and Escamado coming
next in fancy The other four were at a
write-your-own- ticket estimate, and ran
accordingly, the winner turning up in
Mintia. with Escamado second and Red
Garter third.
Red Garter took up the running H.
mediately after the ribbon had gone up,
but Escamado, with Burns up, quickly as
sumed the lead and led The bunch merry
chase to the paddock Here Mintia, which
Ross had rated in fourth position to the
benz. came on with the winning run and
was nearly three lengths to the good at
the final call Red Garter rushed along
to pass Diamond in the final eighth to
get the show money by a long head
Seven old timers and near-maidens
lined up in front of the stand for the
fourth race, and Christine A, held al

against her by winning easily. BAIL was

advantage was established in the first
half mile but Badly Used gradually
picked him up and was only head back
at the stretch turn. 1t looked like Badly
Used from here, but the ancient biro
failed TO stick and Christine A came with
rush TO get first money. BAIL hung
around for place honors and there was
nothing behind Badly Used able TO gel
him for third
Mcintyre tried to make a runaway race
of the fifth wit Godfather. but after
racing out in front by half dozen
lengths at one stage of the five-and-a-

got the money from Laudable, with Billy
Bowlegs third.
Harvel Beats Laudable
With Godfather out in front Hal ran
second to the stretch, Laudable and Har-
vel following in the order named. When
ready Dugan set Harvel down and he
responded nicely, coming through on the
rail to score by length and a half from
d.audable. Billy Bowiegs ran nice race
and beat Waldorf a head for the peep
money.
Fifteen awful hounds faced the barrier
at the six-furlong post for the conclud-
ing number and the talent was all at sea
selecting a favorite. Teddy Hodge, on
the strength of a lot of Thomas money
and some wise paddock information, was
finally settled on as the choice, but he
did nothing to call for collection. And

the winner, Arragon coming second and
sentado third.
The start favored Andoche and he at
once assumed long lead Teddy Hodge
