plunger and bookmaker, who recently
acquired a small but good stable of
racers via the selling race route, has
been called back home by pressing
business affairs and has advertised a
dispersal sale of his stable. Fleming,
Pal, Varieties and Harry Scott, all
winners at the meeting, make up his
string and all will be sold at auction
Wednesday afternoon at / o'clock in
the Santa Anita dock.
Theo Haffner, formerly a resident of
Ocean Park, but now a business man
OF Phoenix, is in Los Angeles on a visit
to old-time friends. Jack Ripper is
Introducing him to the boys and Theo
is some raconteur, don't forget. He
can tell stories that would make even
Nat Goodwin smile and stir up jeal
ousy in the hearts of the Wilson
brothers, Murray and Mack ct al.
Haffner left California about twenty
years ago and has prospered in his
adopted home.
The judges announced yesterday that
they had RENTED the remainder of
the thirty-day suspension that was
handed out to Jockey Treubel recently
and now the old-timer is back in fullest
fellowship with the turf powers and
free to ride for whomsoever he may
choose. Thus another crack rider will
be able to serve the public that wants
his services in the saddle.
1t is considered remarkable by some
that Starter Dwyer Is able to get along
peaceably and in harmony with the
Jockeys and that he can show a uni
formly good record at the Santa Anita
barrier without resorting to cruel and
unreasonable penalties to enforce that

mistaken identity of discipline. Dryers
work all this season since he came
from Emeryville has been uniformly
good and yet he has not been gouging
the bank accounts of the boys or set
ting them down for disobedience. The
boys recognize in him their friend and
one who desires above all things to
get along with them peaceably and in
harmony and they show their appre-
citation Of this sort Of treatment by
aiding in making his record good by
lining up at the barrier and getting
away to good starts. There is not a
jockey riding at Santa Anita who has
anything but kind word for him and
this is equally true as regards the
horsemen, his official association and
that element of the public which knows
him best.
Owing to an accident to the engine
that pulled the first race special out
of the Arcade station yesterday, none
of these specials arrived at the track
until o'clock and the judges and
Manager Gardner ordered a delay Of
twenty minutes in post time for all
races to permit the delayed ones an
opportunity to witness all of the six
events The engine blew out a cylin-
der head at Alhambra and turned half
way around on the track. Nobody was
injured, but the accident caused a de-
lay Of more than an hour and the
two specials were run as one, twelve
coaches being backed under the Santa
Anita sheds at one time.
Armature. formerly raced as Live
Oak, a 3-year-old son Of Santello, died
Sunday at Santa Anita. He was owned
by the lakewood Stock Ranch stable,
of which Lawrence & Comstock are
proprietors.
Mark Antony II showed very plainly
yesterday that he will not carry high
weight and run to his best notch by
a long ways. In going made to order
for him, he soon found his 113 pounds
too heavy for his back and he stopped
fast in the last quarter.
Entries are due this morning for the
Pasqualito handicap, which will be the
feature of the Thursday card. This
event is at a mile and 3-year-olds and
upwards are eligible. It will have a
gross value Of $500.
