Alice George, went over during the after noon, and as bait two favorites won the chalk consumers had the better of the argument. * Colonel Bob was always first choice at around even money for the Adios handicap and never gave his backers a second's uneasiness after getting away in the lead.

I.The.con test from start to finish was intensely exciting and not until the last blue anfl gold uniformed player had been retired by the first base route was the outcome of the day fixed. In^the pitching and hitting depart ments the two nines appeared prac^ fically uppn a par. Both twirlers were veterans," 'V Captain ._ /Jordan haying Blabbed for the Berkeley men* for /the last two seasons, while Theile was, the mainstay of the cardinals last year The work «, of these two men was 'a feature.

" Scott, the first man . up tot- Stanford, was hit by Jordan and passed to first.- He stole to second son the next ball and upon a sacrifice by Owen was advanced to third. . Captain' Een tqn followed Owen,, and laid down -a beautiful *bun£ which scored the' Stan ford runner with ease. *\u25a0 /• With this run chalked, the score was allowed to stand • unchanged until the first of the •seventh; Inning, ;Vwhen on an error a blue arid gold runner was tallied. vv.ir>-*v v .ir>-* '\u0084 -i.; This score was made when Al Mey-" era of California came to bat and on!a close _call_ to first, base turned a com plete flip over First Baseman Bell 'of Stanford, ; and in [ the mix reached the bag '-, Butler followed and ad vanced" him to second on a sacrifice and he stole third on the next play/ •whenSSolinsky . struck "out, arid , the' third; strike being dropped necessitated a*, throw to first.

Jefferv Fifty thousand dollars is a conserva tive estimate of the amount that .the local racegoing public contributed to the coffers of the book makers at Emeryville yesterday. From a form standpoint the results of the afrfer noon's racing were about as disastrous as could be imagined. Horses of which much was expected performed miser ably, and others that could be given little consideration, on past perform ances came to Ifte with startling sud denness. The upsest began with the opening race, and Gemmell, at the pro hibitive odds of 1 to 3, alone saved the day. from being one of complete rout for the form players. With the excep tion of J. W. O'Neill, all" the other fa vorites finished out of the moneys "Wai ter Miller rode three of the four public choices that made a bad showing, and the manner in which he handled them left much, to be desired, ililler's sud den slump was in marked -contrast to the clever form he had been showing In the saddle during the preceding few days. THREE AT IO.VG PRICES The winners whose victories "were unexpected included Peggy O'Neal. Henry O and Markie Mayer, all as good as 20 to 1 in the betting: Lord Nelson, against whom the books laid as high as 11 to 1, and Johnny Lyons, who won the valuable Family Club handicap, with 8 to , 1 quoted about him. The out come in all five of these races was stunning to the public, as in every case the victors had been running so poorly that none but those In close touch with their stable connections were able to profit by the somersaults which these five horses performed! Cabin, which finished second in the handicap, also improved in startling fashion. . The horses that failed to run anywhere near expectations included Phil Igoe, Yada, Andrew B. Cook. Salvage, Rubric, Downpatrick, ' Boloman, Paladlnl * and Lassen. It. is supposed that on Monday the stewards will have their hands full looking Into the reversals that cost the public so dearly. , A : large delegation from the Family club. /the. San Francisco social organi zation in whose honor the stake feature of the card had been named, was among the 8,000 or more spectators who-wit nessed-the decision of the program, and the presentation of a magnificent silver cup, on behalf of the club, to M. J. 'Hayes, : following the victory of his horse, Johnny Lyons, in the handi cap, was a pleasing .feature of ' 'the day. The, presentation- .was made* by President Seth Mann,- who admonished the recipient of the cup to ) follow out one of : the precepts of .the Family club by remaining young indefinitely.
