Crack Side Wheeler May.
Reach the 2:05 Mark

Mrs. Fred Chadbourne of Pleasanton
has one of the swiftest PAGERS that has
performed on the California circuit this
season in Moortrix. the Azmoor stall
lion which has been winning so con-
sistently this season.
The grand PAGER is one of the sur
prises of the season, and shrewd fol-
lowers of harness horses believe that
the crack side wheeler will be stepping
mile around 2:05 next season and
Will win more fame for the state as a
producer of noted thoroughbreds. So
far this season Moortrix has performed
in a manner above expectations, He
has won his races handily without any
apparent effort, and it is believed that
If he was pressed he would show bet
ter performances. He has a record
around 1903
Fred chadbourne, who drives Moor
trix, is one of the noted harnessmen
of the state, and he has trained some
of the greatest tretters and PAGERS
that have performed in this country.
He looks upon Moortrix as one of the
most promising horses he has handled,
and expects him to improve his mark
several seconds next season. The horse
has valuable stake engagements.
DevOtees of harness racing who have
been following the circuit look for
prosperous meeting at Woodland, which
opens tomorrow. The people there are
ardent admirers of the game, and they
look upon the circuit meeting as the
event of the year.
All the classy trotters and PAGERS
are entered, and barring scratches, the
racing should be on a par with the
high class sport which has been pulled
of at Salinas and Pleasanton. From
Woodland the horses will wend their
way to Sacramento, where the state
fair will be held during the month of
September.

Rose Says Racing Will Be
Kept Up in California

SARATOGA, N. Y. Aug. 1s.-fThere
will be racing at both San Francisco
and Los Angeles this year. The horse
men will have almost as long a season
as they did last winter"
This. was the statement made yester-
day by George Rose, one of the stock
holders in the Arcadia course at Los
Angeles. He said that he was expect
ing President Williams of the Oakland
track at Saratoga early next month.
and arrangements for meeting
would be made in the same fashion as
always.
There is no reason why the western
tracks can not operate since the oral
betting system has been found legal"
he said, although it will take some
time to get patrons on the coast ac-
customed to the new idea. Each book
maker will have to work up a clientele
of his own, and this will take time.
In fact, both meetings may be run at
loss the first year. But it will pre-
serve racing on the coast, and will be
a money maker later on"

Disappointing

System Requiring Four
Straight Heats to Win
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

BUFFALO, Aug. 16.-Trotting horse
men and turf followers who came here
from Cleveland full of hope that the
short system of racing harness horses
is now the prevailing plan and will
soon become universal. had their
hopes shattered, for they met at Fort
Erie track today a system which was
never practiced, not even in the days
of '1S12." To the amazement of own
ers and drivers, it was discovered that
trotter or PAGER had to go four
straight heats in order to win.
Three races were finished today and
racing will be certainly more common
place and ordinary than has ever been
seen on the grand circuit for years.
There was not a single close finish in
any of the IL heats trotled and paced.
nor practically any contest worthy of
the name at any stage of each heat.
All three favorites won, and two split
heats were due to break through
