favorites frightened Friday for the
form players by leading their respective
fields during Jefferson's racing matinee.

teenths distance with the mighty Man
o. War by taking the feature Palace
Theater Handicap in romp. Dimples
and Matinee Idol. two steady KENTUCKY
platers. finished in the placed positions
behind the Sam Louis candidate.
To-day's condition was vastly differ
ent from that memorable AFTERNOON
when Goaler's name became so famous
The jefferson oval is slowly but surely
recovering from the heavy rains OF the
early week, but the path which Goaler
traversed near the inner rail for the
greater part Of the way was sufficiently
resilient to take the jar from the fevered
legs which have consigned him to platter
line.
Ridden by H. Thomas, Goaler was
permitted to drop In behind the early
pace disputed by Orlova, Sea Mint ana
Matinee Idol through the early running
and went to the lead rounding the final
~
away in a style which left no doubt re-
garding superiority. Mr.. r. c. McGar-
vey, represented In the race by Oriova'
claimed Tulalip from 1t for $2,700 after
the filly had shown creditaole efrort.

the break and had length and half
to spare over Vennie. Rock Salt and
three others at the end.
Holders of inside post positions were
prominent at the finish of every race
excepting the fifth. which went to Sewell
Coombs after he had overcome the ham
dicap of ninth position by standing al
most continuous urging to overtake the
pace.
Jockeys Lang and Wallace were
thrown but uninjured when their mounts
Aillirio and Eternity, collided at the
start of the final, won by DR.. Rae. The
pair raced the mile distance and led
the field home. DIR. Rae was Corcoran's
only winning mount and increased his
lead over Lang for riding honors TO ten
mounts.
