ARCHIBALD RIDES
LIKE A COMEDIAN
Foolish Saddle Tactics Cause
Defeat of Tony Faust,
Hot Fay0rife
By Joe MURPHY

Jockey Archibald came in for severe
criticism yesterday at Emeryville for
his ride on the odds on favorite, Tony
Faust, in the fifth race. His foolish
saddle methods were the cause of Tony
Faust being beaten by a nose by Do
valta when he should have won off by
himself. Some very unpleasant things
were said of the rider, and his effort on
Tony Faust yesterday will not win him
any credits for being reliable rider.
Faust was so much the best that he
could have won with a sack of potatoes
on his back, instead of real rider. He
was full of run, but Archibald did
funny things with him near the finish,
and the ever riding Garner stole a
march with Dovalta and landed her a
head winner.
Some say that Archibald wanted to
make 1T a close finish and that he lost
through his monkeyshines, but, whether
his motive was Intentional or not, he
was the cause of burning up lot of
money and should be made to suffer-
This heretofore clever rider, who gained
fame by landing numerous winners. has
earned a reputation of getting favorites
and horses that figure beaten. He rode
two favorites yesterday, but failed in
both instances. His work on Prosper
can not be criticised, as the horse did
not seem to be able to run, and he was
stretch.
In this particular race Faust seemed
TO stand out. There was a good play
on Royal River, but the latter was
never dangerous. Faust made the early
pace to the stretch, when Dovalta as
sumed the lead. He came on again and
looked a winner, but was skillfully
mishandled and beaten. Royal River
was third.
Three favorites came down to the
wire in front Twilight Queen found a
soft spot in the opening event and the
daughter of Oddfellow won off by her
self from Novgorod, which beat Deneen
couple OF lengths for the place. Nov
gorod was well backed.
Prosper evidently does not like mud.
for he did not perform up to expecta-
tions. After running prominently to
the stretch, the favorite showed distress
signals. and Billy Myer, which was the
victim of a bit of bad luck, came around
his field and beat the consistent Captain
Burnett home by less than a length.
The winner was to | in the ring. The
favorite captured third place.
Edmond Adams, Green B. Morris,
clever year old. finally earned brack-
cts by capturing the 2 year old event
from some fast youngsters. The win
ner was the choice at to and he beat
ou Dutch Rock, 100 to 1 shot, by less
Ii1dH d louS ILL., lie latter ran a
markable race and paid 30 to l for the
place.
G. Bassett has a shifty sprinter in No
Quarter. The son of Viking ran a very
clever race in the fourth event on the
card at six furlongs, beating Thistle
Belle and a couple of other good sprint
ers Thistle Belle led until within 90
yards of the finish, when Fischer called
upon No Quarter and the horse re-
rvff q
favorite right on the wire. Waponoea
was third, after getting off very badly.
Sonia finally landed in the conclud
ing event of the day at five and a half
furlongs. Marks filly was in a soft
spot and she was made to 10 choice
The odds were justifiable. Fereno made
the early running, but the favorite
picked the pacemaker up in the stretch
and cantered home five lengths in the
lead Cinnamon, 90 to / shot, romped
into third place 20 lengths in the rear
of the place horse.
