Believes Local Victory i'm Bet
ting Case Can Be Repeated
i'm New York

Carroll Cook. attorney for the New
California jockey club. who won the
favorable decision in the supreme court
in the Roberts case. which made bet
ting easier at Emeryville. was in high
feather yesterday. First he had a
telegram of congratulation from the
racing interests in New York, with the
query added: Can it be repeated
here?" Cook answered with a brief
Yes. But yesterday Cook was at the
track in new roIe-that of host for
some of clients in the Chinese Six
Companies. The orientaIs were more
than alive to the sport of kings" and
they made a winning bet. They won
on st. Francis at to l. They refused
to bet on Goldfinn at odds on and they
failed to cash on Thistle Belle in the
last race. Altogether they beat the
day and had plenty of fun. Three of
the visitors were from the Min Young
company-Wong Do King, Mar Nun and
Mar Doom Two from the Hop No COM
pany were Sam Kee and On Lung Fan.
Judge Cook took them to the clubhouse
and the paddock and introduced them
TO Betting Commissioner George H
| Smith
George Strate is a student of blood
lines and he has come to the conclu-
sion that Palo Alto, by Haywood out
of Rosamonde, is a great possibility
a sire. Finding that he could not get
him ready to race again before next
\ fall Strate mated the colt with some
young mares at PaIO Alto stock farm.
The colt is a brother in blood to Orby,
Dick Croker's winner of the English
derby. The four mares bred are by
/ Eddie Jones. Colonel Wheeler. Royal
for all four to nick right with Palo
Altos blood lines.
While Bob Allen is racing Rapid
Water he is not missing the priced
chance to use him as a sire Good
| judges of pedigree have said that Rapid
Water is the best bred Ben dor in
America. Allen has mated him with
May Sutton, sister of Daddy Clip; Folly
| /. last years marvel OF the bushes;
Sheen and a mare by Plaudit. the sire
Of King James. With no other chances
Rapid Water should prove his quality
as sire with these four.
Good jockeys are going to be in de-
/ mand before the Emeryville season
closes. and Guy Gray has scored a
ten strike in getting MoleswOrth TO
~.
| second to Garner at Juarez. will leave
/ San Antonio, Tex. next Tuesday and
| should reach here before the end Of the
week. He is a dependable lad with no
/ bad habits, says Gray, and he can do
/ 81 pounds. He will ride for Gray here
and at Salt Lake.
When Bedwen lost GoIdfnn by the
selling route he admitted that she was
a good mare, but expressed the belief
that no one else could train her and
I that no boy but Shilling could ride
her. She has won her last two races
at Emeryville and has not been nasty
about it. Paddy Lynch sends her into
\ the paddock with sOrreI pony. and
/ the pony seems to be worse than the
mare. Lynch says that the pony's
| fright is explained by the mares habit
/ of picking him up and shaking him
/ like a rat. The pony is present from
/ Sam Hildreth to Tommy Lynch. the
small son of Goldhnn's present owner.
/ Bill Hawke had more bad luck yes
/ terday. PimIin, with Archibald rid
| ing, had a chance TO win his race. Hs
/ was cut down in the early part of the
running and so badly hurt that the
/ track veterinarian advised Hawke to
! destroy the horse. Both ham strings
were cut.
BoOtinS NOSper leaves for New
/ York today TO try the riding game with
/ the best boot artists on the Gotham
\ tracks He will stop over for a day or
two at Albany. No. the home town of
c. r. Jones. and, they will try out a
/ pair of promising maiden racers.
Bill Game. owner of a useful stable
and contract employer of the good
/ lightweight Selden. came back to
Emerytille yesterday from an en-
forced trip to Lewiston. Idaho. where
/ he is involved in litigation. Caine will
probably see the season out across the
/ bay.
Al Cooney always busy in the ring
is sorry now that his good colt. Set
Back was not shipped 10 the coast. He
/ had engaged room in Andy Blakely's
car and at the last moment Blakely
bought Blacksheep and crowded Set
Back out Then COOney turned the
youngster out and let him fatten up
for the New York races. He is en-
tered in some of the fixtures and IL he
runs back TO his early promise may be
I hard to beat. The dope shows him
twice victor over the good flly Cal
vesca, and once, with an apprentice
riding and lis on his back. he came
from behind to turn the trick.
Jockey Thomas drew a fine of s25 for
misbehaviOr in the third race yester-
day and Gross got mulcted $40 for

finn. In the fifth KeOgh was set down
