Then he swerved toward the inner rail, eventually finishing third, for in a hard drive, the 10 to 1 chance Monastic, beat Mike Mur- phy a length. The judges were not pleased with the ride the favorite re ceived, and Mounce was called into the stand and questioned. The race is still under investigation. After Hagerdon and Dandy Jim, first choices in the ring, had sauntered home before their fields, the favorites played a hard luck inning, failing to score again. The attendance was up to the average ard the sport enjoyable in every particular. Miss Rowena made a bid for the intro ductory scramble, but could ot carry her speed to the end, and Hagerdon, the | favorite, won easily.

AT TANFORAN TRACK BY LOUIS HONIG. | { | HE favorites were again hit hard at Tanforan yesterday, but the only startling performance was that of E. M. Brattain, ridden by Dominick. Brattain scored at 20 to 1. Alee, the second choice, with Thorpe up, gave Prejudice a livelv chase in ti first race, over s and a half furlong. Thorpe took the lead at the start and never it. Racetto, ridden by O'Con- nor, got the show. The start was b: me; a good one. All three mo ters were driven hard at the finish. Dominick, on E. M. Brattain, took first money in the maiden two-year-old race over three furlongs. Brattain opened on the boards at 20-1, but the play lowered the 0dds to 7-1 when the trumpet sounded the post call. Ogle, with Thorpe up, fig- ured in the race and after a good sta t looked to win, but Dominick gave a good strong ride down the stretch and came under the wire first. Leulette, the favor ite, got the show. The maiden three-yrar-old fillles event over five furlongs was won by Cushion, | with See up. Katherine Ennis, Thorne | doing the steering, was the favorite, and led until the paddock, when Cushion | passed in under the wire by a neck. Mis, E’,runn#ll got the show all three of th: | money-getters working under a driving | finish Winnie O'Connor on St. Cuthbert won the fourth race in easy fashion. Hermoso, an even-money favorite and piloted Ly Dominick, led until the streteh, when St. | Cuthbert ‘took first place and won out by two lengths. Kitty Kelly got the show. Tommy Burns carried Wyoming und:r | the wire for first mornev in the fifth, a | mile race.” Haviland, the favorite, led un- ‘lli the stretch, when Wyoming went up |and drum-majored the pack. Hayiland | held on and got the place, Nansen falling back for the show and Free Lance trail- ing along in the dust. In the sixth race Toah forged to the front after everybodv had conceded the race to Alzura, with Burns doing the | piloting. Alzura was In the lead all the way unitl the paddocs. Then O'Connor shot out_and at the wire led Buras mount. Seide got the place. sl gt Tracdk Notes. Over at Oakland track this afternoon turf-goers will witness a renewal of the historic Thornton stake at four miles. In the past no event on ‘he California racing calendar ever aroused such general in- terest as this contest of speed and endur- ance. It is a race over a distance that can be witnessed but once a year, and a great crowd will cross_the bay. The San Francisco Jockey Club offers the Derby as a speciai attraction on the reopening of Ingleside. As the three- year-olds named to start have met on for- mer occasions it is necdless to enumerate thelr good or bad qualities. Tod Sloan will again ride Joe Frey, which fact alone should prove a strong drawing card. L e e ] ] Patent Commissioner Resigns. WASHINGTON, March 15.—The Com- missioner of Patents, Charles H.

At the end of the fourth rouni the judges believed the youngsters so evenly matehed that they ordered another round. After it had been fought they de- clared the contest a draw. The decisloa should have gone to Snaflham. The battle between Kid Corin and Jerry Mitchell was a lively one from start to finish. Mitchell was given the decision. George Doherty, who was matched to box four rounds with Ed Tillson, threw up his contract in the first round. Oue punch in the ribs caused him to seek the floor. He kicked his heels up in the air, closed his eyes and comfortably awaited belng counted out. When he was declared “out” he quickly ‘‘regained consclous- ness'’ and hopped out of the ring evident- 1y well satisfied that he had not sustained more serious damage. Frank Dillon also suffered from a severe attack of ‘‘heart fallure.” In the second round he put on a look of distress and was seeking a soft spot to drop on. when Po- Tice Sergeant Helms came to his rescue by ordering the contest stopped. Jack Mc- Cormick, his antagonist, retired looking very disgusted. Frank Neal, who is_a likely youngster, was booked to face Spike Wallace four rounds. Spike was suffering from cold feet and declined to appear. George White, who some time ago fought a draw with Neal, jumped in to fill the vacancy. He lasted less than one minute. An up- percut on the jaw, quickiy followed by a swinging right on the neck, sent him to the floor unconsclous. He was some little time in_coming to. Jack McGinnis and Tody Everett fought a four round draw. McGinnis would have been counted out in the third round but for the timely sounding of the gong. Cyclone Keily and Joe Long fought four interesting ds.~ The decision was given to Kelly on his merits. Jack McCarthy and Bobby Otts slugged and pummeled each other for four rounds.

BUR LINGAME PLAYERS WIN FROM HURLINGHAM TEAM Dashin g Red Jacketed Californian Horsemen Prove Victors by .a Score of 6 to 4. — i ‘ 1 - URLINGHAM'S pet polo team, mounted on Texan and Santa Barbara ponles, went down to glorious defeat in Burlingame's field yesterday before the Burlin- game Club’s corps of ball-smashers. The score was 6 to 4. As the tide of battle flowed from one end of the field to the other the spectators, gathered in honor of the occasion, ripped white kid gloves in hand applause, or waved their ready caps high in air at some dashing stroke or dar- ing feat of horsemanshin. It was a gala day for Burlingame and the California players. For, far out from the land where polo reigns supreme, fresh from victories in France and Spain, with the trophies of England at the end of their polo mallets, had come these merry men from England. Two of them, the McCreerys, Lawrence and Walter, who were once of this city, but now claim England as their home, did their work with great vigor. alded F. G. Menzies and F. the reputation of being the finest *“backs’ and greatest exponents of the game on two continents. They were here, there and away again all the time, but their dashing plays, desperate riding and pow- erful strokes availed naught. The red-jacketed “demons” of the Bur- lingame Club were at their heels or in front of them all the time. Walter Ho- bart, Joe Tobin, Charles Dunphy and Thomas A. Driscoll formed the invincihle guartet “that conquered. ~Drisconl. dl- though weak from a recent attack of the grip, rode out the game. One of Dunphy's nies broke a tendon in its leg in the rst period, but was kept on the field until another mount could be secured. Society Out in Force. Every element conduced to the success of the game. As a speclal concession the Monterey express brought the city contin- gent to the field, stopping at Burlingame to land the expected visitors. Marquees were erected on the field, while coaches, tally-hos, drags, dog-carts, flies and ve- hicles of ‘all other descriptions surrounded the fleld. From these points of vantage the fair occupants beamed smiles of ap- ments made in the by-laws. This club is golng to make a strong bid for promi- nence in the various interclub events this year, as it has many good road riders. The club will hold a run to’ Woodside to- morrow. The California Cycling Club will hold a ten-mile handicap road race over the San Leandro course to-morrow. The entries and handicaps are as follows: M. Wha- len, C. Dufosee, F. N. Bent, M. A.
