6 Sports Durnells Colt Wins Feature Race of the Day at Emeryville Track YESTERDAYS WIXXERS Best Bone. Jockey. Price. Begobtma I>. William- . . 9-1 lied BIU St. Davis 13-20 JlmPeaderpast.F. Wll-©_ ..IS-5 Hooligan ...Horncr 4-1 Alnrlc Graham 15-1 Temaceo Sandy «-5 Bogahama, at 9 to 1, and Alaric, at 15 to 1, were the surprises at Emeryville racetrack yesterday. Favorites and second choices divided the remainder of a card that was sadly deficientin class. Barney Schreiber's Red Bill, at 3 to 5, and "Boots" DurneH's Temaceo, at even money, were the successful first choices. A feature of the afternoon's sport was the defeat of the l-to-3 favorite, Handmaiden, by the long shot, Alaric. Handmaiden -was considered so good a thing in this race that some of the books laid as high a field price as 2 to 1, with few takers. Handmaiden had none of the speed which she showed in her last two outs, both of which she won galloping with several lengths to spare. Homer laid back with her behind Coco and Gal vestonian^in the early running, and when he called on her to go to the front in the stretch Alaric came from behind and breezed by her near the paddock. She finished second, three lengths behind the winner and four lengths in front of Bogum, with whom Rice took the show away from Galves toni&n by a head. Graham rode the winner with his usual eood Judgment. Coco quit to nothing after setting the pace Into the stretch. Conway, a new comer among: the Jockeys, had the mount on Tanana, who failed to show anything. \u0084 I.OXGSHOTS FIGnT IT OUT L*roy Williams 1 strong ride won the opening race for Bogahama at the wire. Alice Carey, the second choice, led the stretch, with Royal "White In close attendance. Jockey Vanderbout, who has been here for weeks without fretting: a mount, rode Royal White end was wcond all the way. I- Davis ; brought Dotterel from far back and COOk third money from Alice Carey j by a nose. The favorite. Procrasti nate, with Homer up, got away from the post poorly and ran, a race that was far below the notcl^ to which he ha« been running of late. Red Bill, the odds-on favorite, rid den by K. Davis, smothered his field with speed In the second end was five lengths in front all the way from the half-mile pole, winning In a gallop. The showing that ho made proved that J;l* close second to Tomacco a few days rjeto was no fluke. He displayed daz zling early epeed and may turn out to • be a good one. He was on the shelf •for months as the result of having 1 heen cut down while racing In the East lact eeaeon, but appears to have entirely recovered from the effects of the accident. He is by Bannockburn, out of Prima 11. Al Llndley got the place at remunerative odds and Joyful was third, a head in front of Kohoma, who tired after chasing Red Bill Into th«» stretch. M. A. Powell was a well supported 'avorite In the third, but was beaten !n the final drive by Jim Pendergast, the second choice, with F. Wilson up. The winner stood a long drive gamely and came from far back. Chestnut nosed out Daniel C, the pacemaker, for third meriTey. Hooligan. Horncr up. after drifting hack In the betting from twos to fours, rame ptrong In the Btretch from a clow beginning and landed at the wire a winner half a length Jn front of Jake Moose, who ran a greatly Improved race in the colors of William Walker, his new owner. Swagger was an easy third. Early Hours, the favorite, ran a very bad race and was never promi nent. Sinner Simon showed a flash of epeed, but finished last- TEMACEO FIXISHES PAST The last race of the day was the best. Temaceo was always a well ' supported favorite at about even money, with Earl Rogers an equally \u25a0well fancied second choice. The €0 te- 1 6hot Plausible went to the front ! with the rising of the barrier and stayed there until Sandy brought the ! favorite, with whom he had been lying ' back, through an opening in the stretch. Temaceo responded nobly and ' ran over his field from t.hft" paddock home to win by two lengths. Plausi ble. Ocean 6hore and Earl Rogers . finished in the order named, it being a ] case of three heads on the post. Wool • ma. Inadequately handled by the mite, ' A. Walsh, was beaten off. It Is under stood that Temaceo was the medium ', of a big winning by the Durnell con | nectlon In Eastern poolrooms.; Gossip of the Track The ring yesterday partially recouped' Its losses of tbe previous day, Joe Rose leading with a winning: of about $1500. Johnny Lyon was the exception, but his loss was slight. John D. Millin, the well-knotrn turf man. Is to manage Jockey Joe Mcßrtde *.nfi will make his engagements from row on. The lad will resume riding at once. . • ' • • Jockey Appleby was thrown from Yigoroso Immediately after the finish of tbe first race, but suffered nothing more than a shaking up. Dr. TL JZ. Xlowell boosted Alaric from S6OO to 1800 when the Pirate of Penz anoe-Mollie Pitcher gelding won the fifth race from the 2-to-5 shot Hand , maiden.

Hedgethorn showed speed.' but stopped to a walk Club have determined the standing of Charles E. Durnell has given rise to a report that the young horseman will not be granted a license to train on the New York tracks the coming sea son, says the New York Telegraph. The reason assigned for not accepting an entry from Durnell Is that no offi cial notification of his reinstatement by the Pacific Coast Jockey Club has as yet been made to the Jockey Club. The entry has not yet been refused and holding it up is not necessarily prophetic of disbarment for Durnell. There was no one in authority that would say anything one way or an other on the subject, and the. stewards are not given to forecasting their in tentions In such matters, so that any positive statement that Durnell will not be given a license must be unau thorized. It Is doubtful If this phase of the situation has yet been con sidered. Durnell has not yet applied for a license, so that there could be no action taken in this regard. - Hamburg, the \u008412-yea.r-old son of Hanover-Lady Reel, who' stands third in the stallion list "for 1906. was one of America's greatest racehorses. He bad speed, stamina and courage and great ability to carry weight- He was sound in wind and limb and combined a robust constitution with a perfect dis position. The distance that he was called upon to run seemed immaterial to him. In his career, which embraced twenty-one starts, he was never vn r placed. His record was~«lxteen wins, three seconds and two thirds. King Cole is tbe only one of his get now racing In California. : Blondy, W. B.

I'obull, St. Kirn wood. The Guenn handicap and the special race between Shot Gun and Cruzadoa, scheduled for. today at Emeryville, both failed to fill on acountof existing track conditions. The card, although below the standard for a Wednesday, will af ford some excellent sport nevertheless. The opener, a three and -a half fur long sprint for two-year-olds, will, be contested by a well-balanced field. Bra voure,. Lady- Hlldreth and look best of the bunch if the D^rak be even. Bravoure appears to be a very fair youngster. Lady Hlldreth won her only out. Leroy Williams will pilot her today. Miller was up .when she •won. - \u25a0' . The second presents a very. open as pect,'and almost any one of the eight entries may turn up. as the' winner. Anna Karlnina, from the Keene stable, ran a fair race last out and may be in front at the finish if the stable boy does not mess things. up. Tanana may awaken and run a good race. Lugano and Peerless Lass ran badly at short price their last outs. Bellßeed should win the third, with Baker and Yellowstone right at his heels at the end. Judge might be the surprise of the race if he takes a no tion to run kindly.' M. A. Powell," Briers and Meada have outside chances. Mandator, Dorado, Governor Davis and Magrane appear to be the horses that demand considertion in the fourth, at a mile and 100 yards. Mandator ran a nice race In \ the Andrew Belling stakes last Saturday and should about win* today, with a good ride. Dorado has .been performing very consistently and can hardly be' worse than second. Governor Davis: should beat Magrane for third money. Clydeo would be dan gerous if he came to life, but his recent raceß have been of the bad sort. Alma Boy looms *c the probable win ner of the fifth, for which a very mod erate lot have been entered. It appears to be^a case of Hobson's choice with the balance. Crow shade and Inflam mable may get second and third money. Fred Mulholland is reported to be working oatiafactorilyr and, although he figures close with Vox Popull and St. Elmwood on his public perform ances, Jt, ls probable that he will win.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 15. — Owing to. the failure of Secretary of State CurrA to make proper return as to the flllrj^fc of the certificate of election, the legal status of Ascot Park and the district surrounding it is so uncertain that se rious complications have resulted. It cannot be determined whether that por tion of the county is within the city or is still subject to the Jurisdiction of the county authorities. At the last election the people voted by an over whelming majority to annex a strip of territory reaching all the way to the city of San Pedro. Ascot Park being -included. There ig no doubt as to the legality of the election, and the result was properly certified to the Secre tary of State, but until omeial notice Is received of his having recorded the certificate Ascot Park Is a sort of "no man's land." This condition has had a curious ef fect upon legal proceedings. Yester day a man was arrested at Ascot for battery. .
