THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, S PINKERTON, FAVORITE AND ARISBE, SECOND CHOICE, PLAY IN ILL LUCK GOLDEN RULE WINS, BREAK!NG A LONG STRING OF DEFEATS LOS ANGELES, April 3—The elgh- ty-seventh day of the Ascot Park meeting was marked by perfect weath er, a large attendance and the suoccess of six favorites. The public carried sway large sums of the boakmakers' money, as every winner was backed, two of them, Masedo and Golden Min- eral, for an unusually heavy amount. Masedo opened at § to 1L in the Orst race, but was backed down to 7 to § at post time. He won easily from At- lantico and Victoria 8. | Golden Rule broke a long string of defeats by winning the second race, over the Slauson course, in easy fash- fon. Pat Bulger was Jucky to p!. through on the last turn and took the | place from DBarrington, which sold at equal favoritism with Golden Rule. The handicap hurdle event went to | the favorite, Nitrate, with Milas a close | second and Cazador third. Mays fell | and severely bruised Jockey Mooney. Gol@en Mineral was made favorite in the fourth race, over a good fleld, ut‘ a mile ‘and s sixteenth. Callant and| Straggier made the running until with- | in sight of the wire, where Golden Min- eral came through and won handily from Straggler. Callant was third. Mezzo, played down from 6 to 3 to 1, | trailed his Seld, in the 6fth number, | to the last sixteenth, then came on and | won by a length. Buccleuth, at equal | odds, was second and Farmer Jim | third Mr. Robinson, at 2 to 1, took the last | race, leading all the way.

LOS ANGELES, April 2.—Portland won to-day's game from the cham- p!unl in the tenth inning. The final score was 8 to 1. Up to the tenth inning it was an even thing. While the champlons hit Iberg more freely than the visitors connected with Baum's curves, they were so well scattered that nothing came of them after the third inning. In the tenth, arter Freeman had singled and had been forced out at second by Francis, Steelman singled to right fle]d and Cravath allowed the bail to roll between his feet and go to the fence. Before he could recover it | Francis scored. A single by Iberg a moment later won the game for the northerners. Baum pitched first-class ball up to the tenth inning. Attend- ance 1500.

I cannot be persuaded to allow him to officiate.” As Jeffries is sald to favor Graney to the point of refusing any other man to referee his next battle, it is possible that the Jeffries-Mun- roe battle will never be fought. The last big stake event of the rac- ing season, the Gebhard handicap for two-year-olds, decided over the Fu- turity course and worth $2480 to the winner, resulted in a dassling upset yesterday at Oakland track. Sea Alr, a daughter of Pirate of Penzance, carrylng 106 pounds and plloted by “Big Bill' Enapp, led from the start, and in a flerce drive gained a nose decision over George P. Mc- Near, a 20 to 1 shot, with See in the saddle. Then third, one length and a half back, Peggy O'Neil, another de- spised outsider, ridden by Larsen, took the short end of the stake. Pinker- ton, the black crack from Barney Schreiber's stable and the public fa- vorite, finished next. Arisbe, the second cholce, which Otis succeeded in getting away from the barrier last, ran sixth. RACE IS NOT TRUE RUN. Unquestionably the condition of the track had everything to do with the result and it could not be called a true run race. On the back stretch the track next the rail was slow and cuppy, which gave the starters drawing the outside position a decided advantage. The Schrefber pair, Pinkerton and Inspector Halpin, ruled pronounced fa- vorites, notwithstanding the former car- ried 121 pounds. Arisbe, unfortunately, drew the rail position, and at 6 to 1 had second call. Ben Eric, Head Dance and the Blasingame duo, Salable and Bose Eley, were the best supported of the others. Dick Dwyer sent the young- sters ‘away nicely aligned, and almost immediately Sea Alr and George P. McNear, the two drawing the outside positions, shot away in the lead. Bose Eley once edged McNear out of second place, but could not hold it. McNear stood a furious drive the last sixteenth, but Sea Air was not lacking in game- ness, and Knapp, riding one of his best finishes, received the verdict. Peggy O’Neil, after getting out of a pocket, closed fast, taking show honors. Bo- land on Pinkerton was pocketed for nearly an eighth of a mile on the back stretch. Arisbe never had a chance. FIVE FAVORITES LOSE. Although the weather was cloudy and threatening there was an immense crowd present.

Miss Alma Haines, introduced by ex-Commodore John W. Pew, performed the ceremony of christening the boat, breaking a large bottle of cl jpagne against her bows. A few minutes before 4 ufc\ock in the afternoon the sloop slipped gracefully down the greased ways Into the water. On board were Frank Stone, Vice Com- modore J. C. Brickell, Jack - Short, Douglas Erskine and two or three oth- ers. The yacht was taken in tow by a launch and was brought to a mooring to the east of the Fulton Iron Works, near the British steamer Argyll. Among the well-known yachtsmen present at the launching were ex-Com- modores J. W. Pew, Harry D. Hawks and R. 8. Bridgman; ex-Vice Commo- dores G. T. S. White and Andrew | Thorne, J. J. Dwyer, E. N.

Sweet Tooth for a time made matters interesting for the favorite, then the latter assumed the lead, winning in a gallop at the finish. Bonner, away poorly with Colonel Van, gradually moved up from the rear division, disposing of St. Winni- fride for place homors. Hulford ran a poor race. Any route or any sort of distance appears to suit Gateway, for he low- ered the colors of Don Domo, the famous Texas streak, in the five and a half furlong dash for three-year-olds. It was reported on change that the Texas sprinter was good, 8o the books took no chances, laying 7 to 10 from the start. DON MOMO IN THE LEAD. It was all Don Domo for the first part of the trip, Bonner continually peeping over his shoulder to see how far back the others were. In the run home Bonper turned wide on the turn and generally rode a sloppy sort of race. Willie See, on Gateway, took the rail route and after passing the paddock had the favorite wobbling. Sixty yards from the wire Gateway stumbled and even then downed the first choice a length. H. L. Frank, under the tutelage of Powell, tired early, losing the show to Ananias. Nothing ever bothered Knapp, astride Byronerdale, in his circuit of the bases in the mile and a quarter selling number. Three to one could be obtained at all times about the Crane entry, and he won from start to finish. Lacy Crawford, the 8 to § favorite, took the place, three lengths for the NoMiiun, ‘understood the before Expedient. The Fretter ran an unfathomable race. For a horse that figured out such a certainty\and was so substantially backed, Forest King made a most in- [different showing in the concluding mile selling run. Racing out in front with Hainault for half a mile, the Ore- gon horse suddenly seemed to have all of the game he wanted. Hainault then went on, looking all over a winner, when Bozeman, on Axminster, came with a rush, scoring by two lengths. Mocorito disposed of Forest King for third place. Sheehan rode the latter horse. NOTES OF THE TRACK. Twenty-one books cut in and there was plenty of business for all.

S ——Y AMERICAN DERBY ENTRIES WILL NOT BE ANNOUNCED Action of the Washington Park Of- ficials Is Considered a Slap at the ‘Winter Books. CHICAGO, April 2.—The report that too much notoriety had been at- tained in the past by the Washington Park Jockey Club through the early issue of the entries to the American .Derby and other stakes was con- j firmed to-day when Secretary Howard gave out the following statement. “During my absence from the city and since my return a great deal has been said and written in regard to the non-publication of the entries for the American Derby and other stakes of the Washington Park Club for 1904. I wish to say that the board of directors does not intend to make pub- lic the entries until a reasonable time prior to the running of the Derby on June 18. “THe Washington Park Club and its race meetings are so well established that it does not require any advertise- ment of its entries until a short time before the holding of the meeting. The number and quality of the entries are fully up to the standard of pre- vious years. I believe all the Chicago tracks will have as successful meetings this year as have been held in the past. J. HOWARD, Secretary.” The action of the Washington Park Club officials in withholding the Derby entries Is considered a direct slap at the .winter books. —_————— THISTLE FOOTBALLERS DEFEAT THE HORNETS The association football match played yesterday afternoon on the I ground at St. Matthew's School, San Mateo, batyeen teams * representing the Thistles and the Oakland Hornets, was won by the Thistles with a score of 2 goals to 1.
