A promising card and the fact
that Walter Miller, the world's
premier rider, was to make his
farewell appearance in the saddle,
prior to his departure for New
York today, attracted a large at
tendance at the Emeryville race
track yesterday. A sensational
feature of the afternoon's sport was the winning of Gold Heather, at
100 to 1. Naturally only a select few profited by the victory of this
longshot. Public choices were successful in four of the six races
snd the rinsr suffered in consequence. Walter Miller brought his
local engagement to a eucoeesrul ciosey
by piloting two winners.
The feature event of the day was the
Sinaloa handicap, at a mile and fifty
yards, in which Sir Edward, a stanchly j
supported favorite, redeemed himself 1
In pallant faehion for hi« defeat of ! 1
Wednesday end added to his reputation . |
for consistency, speed and stamina. |
Giving away weight in chunks to the j
high-class horses with which he waa j !
running, he went to the front with the j
rising of the barrier and breezed all 1 '
the way, winning at the end by several |
lengths' from William Walker's three- !
straight winner, Edwin Gum, and T. H.
Stevens' good colt Ramus. Jockey Gra
ham, who previously had ridden Sir
Edward with good results, was once
more on his back and gave the horse
piloting that was in striking contrast
to the bad ride of which the horse wai
the victim on Wednesday, when Leroy
William? had the mount. There -was
considerable pointed comment after the
race on .the subject of Wllllctrb' hand
ling of. the horse and ugly insinuation* I
were to be heard.
Hunter put up a nice ride on E*wlti •
Gum and, outriding Klrschbaum in the j
stretch, \u25a0 easily took the place from
Ramus. who had been following Sir
Edward. Dusty Miller, who took Bir '
Edward's measure on Wednesday, did I ;

gallop. Rubric and Jocund were never (1( 1
•^ CREATION SHOWS CLASS
Creation, one of T. H. Williams' prom
ising tvro-yea,r-olds, justified the good j ;
opinion of him expressed by horsemen |
>by winning the opening race of the ; ]
day in the same impressive manner in j ,
which his two previous starts had been !
won. Held as an almost prohibitive j
odds-on favorite in the betting, he ,
cave hi? backers no concern at any 1
stage of the race. Miller had him off j
on even terms with Bravoure, gener- |
ally regarded as the contender, and j ;
the colt made his field look cheap In j ;
the first quarter. Showing dazzling | ,
speed,' he opened four lengths at the .
head of the stretch, but Bravoure i J
came through the stretch with rare j
sameness and cut down the winner's .
lead to a length and a half at the end. j
Pajg.roita ran to form and took third j
money. j
HL>DRED TO ONE SHOT
The biggest surprise of the day ca"me
Jn the second race, when all the short- j
priced horses finished outside the j
money. Charles Van Dusen's Gold
Heather, a 100 to 1 shot, with Gross,
the stable jockey, in the saddle, came
from far back and won by a half
length in a hot drive with Vinton, a
CO to 1 shot, on which Laurence was
'\ip. Triumphant, who led into the
stretch, tired toward the end and
wound up in third place, Blanche C.
plunged on with . confidence as a
favorite largely "because of Miller's
presence in the saddle, was sadly de
ficient in speed and was never promi
nent in the running. Duke of Orleans
also ran far below what might have
been expected. Rose Cherry showed
some speed to the stretch and then
curled up.
The t&lent showed wise discrimina
tion in the third when, it made Gate
way a pronounced post favorite after
the horse had opened equal choice with
Van Ness. The latter beat the barrier
a bit arid opened up a few lengths on
his field. Miller avoided the early
pace with the favorite, but brought
him aldng with a well timed rush at
the end; and won by a length in a
2iot drive with Hildreth's horse, with
whom Williams rofle more vigorously
than on. some of the other mounts he
has had of late. Magrane was a close
"third. -.Tavora" finished in the ruck
after trying to keep up with Van
-Ness. J\: '\u25a0 .;,.*'
MILKER OX A BAD OXE
The bookmakers took advantage of
Miller's /fare-well mount by handing to
the fayiorite players a lemon in the
fifth ra<re in the shape of Alaric. Those
who .refused to stand for Alaric went
to Harbor with equally disastrous x re
sults, iji* which the wretched ride the
horse received from' Kirschbaum cut
considerable figure. Isabelita was the
real good thing of the race, being
hammered down to 7 from 10. At one
«tage it looked as if she would deliver
the goods, but McLaughlln was of lit
tle help at the end after gaining a
lead of a length at \u25a0 the paddock.
Jockey Homer brought up the 9 to 1
shot W. B. Gates on the ontside with
, a rush and won by nearly a length.
Isab^llta wa:< nbout as far in front of
the favorite. Flaunt showed speed on
the backstrctch, but stopped to nothing
after making the last turn. Harbor
was killed off when Kirschbaum took
him into the heavy going along the
rail.
MAXSARD RUXS GAMELY
Mansard, odds-on favorite In the
sixth, had to be ridden out to the limit
to win from Entre Nous, the well
played second choice, on account of
. being Interfered with in the early part
of the race. Entre Nous was away
flying and opened such a gap that it
looked at the head of the stretch as
if she would repeat her victory of a
few days ago. Little Scoville perse
vered with fhe favorite, however, after
getting clear of Interference, made up
his lost ground by the time the pad
dock was reached and then gradually
drew away from Entre Nous to win by
the best part of a length. The third
horse. Bell Reed, was fifteen lengths
away. Wee Lass, played to 7 from 20
as the hot tip of the race, failed to
show any of the speed that she had the
last time out and finished far back.
Yo San quit when she . found . herself
. unable to keep up with Entre Nous.
Gossip of the Track
Voladay, since coming into general
notice as the winner of the Palace Ho
tel handicap, and 'the Family Club han
dicap at Oakland-, has been referred to
as the "transformed selling plater" and
"Billy jCahill's cripple," and in some
instances slightingly, remarks Chicago
Racing Form. Cahill probably does
aot object to these comments, from
which the average turf follower Is apt
to draw the deduction that Voladay's
Tictories in the races mentioned* might
have been due rather more to what we
have come to know as racing luck than
Individual merit. If Cahill is a betting
man it would be unwise of him to make
*.ny objection. The fact that Voladay
Jockey Walter Miller Makes His Farewell Appearance
J. R. Jeffery
epent the first three years of his ca
reer on the turf running in races that ;
usually had an auction at the end does
not argue that he really is no better
than a selling plater. Selling platers,
as we have come to understand the
phrase, do not run one and a quarter
miles in 2:05 4-5.
A stndy of his career can produce
but one conclusion: that Voladay was
in bad hands until Cahill got him.
This, notwithstanding the fact that" he
has always paid his way. He was a
bargain for his first owner, a good' in
vestment for his second and a genuine
bargain for his third, yet with better i
handling he might not have Injured j
the leg that put him in the list of '
"cripples'* and it Is certain that he
would have earned more money. As it
Is he has far outstripped the. average
thoroughbred In earning 'capacity.
Voladay, being by Faraday, out of
Altl Vola, has the blood of the best.
He was bred by M. D. Richardson at
Springfield Stud in Kentucky and was
sold as a yearling at Bheepshe&d Bay
July 1. 1903, for $400 to the bid of G.
T. Miller, who was acting for E. R.
Thomas. As a two-year-old he carried
the colors of Thomas in twenty races,
winning four, among them the Holiday
Selling Stakes at Brighton Beach, rive
and a half furlongs, in 1:08. with 107
pounds up, over a heavy track. He had,
previously won at tha same distance
over a fast track with 117 pounds up
in the same time. Three of thos* four
winning races were in the mud. Thus
he showed early that mud running was j
his game. From E. R. Thomas Voladay j
passed in the fall of 1904 to J. P. Roman j
and was trained by a man named i
Wheeler, who sent him 1 to the post ;
twenty-three times as a three-year
old, chasing him about at various dis
tances and over any_, kind of a track
that happened to be* yet he won over
$3000 for Roman. It was in Wheeler's
hands that he became a "cripple." Ca
hlll got him in the winter of 1905, but
did not start him until he was a four
year-old. In the time he has had Vol
aday Cahill has started him in nineteen
races, winning eleven, being only four
times unplaced and taking nearly $10.
000 In prize nflfney. It is simply a case
of a horse of good quality in the hands
of a knowledgeable trainer. Here is
Voladay's record and it is not the kind
that selling platers can boast:

Jockey Walter Miller terminated hia
oca! engagement yesterday, and with
his parents and manager, James Fltz-
Elmmons, will depart. for the East to
day.- The boy. made a remarkable rec
ord in the eleven weeks that he "was
in the saddle here, riding, no less than
9S' winners out of 275 chances, which
is about 36 per cent. Deducting the
week that he was on the ground under
suspension for four riding, to. which h<?
was addicted in the early part of his
engagement,' he averaged about ten
winners a week. If he maintains this
average throughout 1907 It Is evident
that he will excel his own world*
record of 388 winning mounts, made In
1906. Aside from the tendency to. ride
roughshod over the other boys, which
he showed soon after making his debut
here, his engagement has given satis
faction to local racegoers, even though
his presence in the saddle has had a
tendency to demoralize betting, as the
layers frequently took advantage ef
his popularity and prowess to quote
shorter prices ng-ainpt his mounts than
were warranted by their performance*.
It is estimated that Miller's earning*
during tho eleven weeka that ho rode
here amounted to about SBOOO. His rid
ing fees ; footed up $3500 and the 1 re
tainer which he received from Presi
dent T. H. Williams of the New Cali
fornia .Jockey Club, ta whom he wa«
under contract, eouplsd with a gift of
$1000 presented to him yesterday by

ALBION ROVERS CINCH
SOCKER CHAMPIONSHIP
OAKLAND, Feb. 23.— A busy little
bunch of Albion Rovers got away with
the Oakland Hornets in an association
football game this afternoon by a score
of 6 to 1, and cinched the champion
ship of the Bay Counties League, The
Rovers have led the procession for /a
long time with the Hornets as the
contenders.
The first veleven of the Hornetß be
ing on a pilgrimage to . Sacramento,
some difficulty was experienced in get
ting together a representative team,
and when the contestants finally lined
up the red and white brigade .were
still two men shy. The official referee
also was missing, but after some delay
it was decided that Bob Shand should
take charge of the game. ? .
With eleven men opposed to nine !t
is not hard to figure how the game
went. The Rovers buzzed around the
eager Hornets duringythe first half to
the tune of three goals to nil. In the
concluding period the insects made sun
dry attempts to reduce the leeway,; but
the Albions apparently knew a snap
when they saw one and kept piling ori
the agony until the score read a half
dozen goals. This was enough and
the solitary point won. by the Red and
Whites did not help much.
McKensie and Waeber of the flrat
team were included in the ranks of
the Hornets and did their best. Dono
hue, a recent arrival , from Scotland,
played a great game for the -Rovers
and will be included in the first eleven
hereafter. Other Rovers who distin
guished themselves were Russel and
Wilson. \u0084 ; . ;\- '\u25a0 v 4*:

The lineup:

tomorrow afternoon, when . the Inde

known to. be between Blue • Knot, E. J.
Boeseke's pony, which had won the A.
B. Spreckels Challenge cup at Coronado
last year at one and a quarter miles,
and Frank McMahon's I Rusticate, which
had. been performing on "the big tracks.
There was a slight delay at the 3tart.
but when Dr. J. A. Edmonds flnally^sent
them away they were .well aligned.
Marsh led off with Blue Knot, but was
soon Joined by Parsons on- Rusticate.
After the first quarter the ponies ran
stride for stride. Blue Knot' had the
advantage of the Inside position, which
was sufficient to give it the verdict at
the wire by a short head. *; .
The honors of the'day were shared by
Charles W.. Clark and H. Marsh. The
beautiful copper -colors of .. the former
were carried to victory by three of his
horses, while young 1 Mars.h rode four
winners and almo3t qualified to have his
name bracketed with that of Walter
Miller, the crack professional race rider.
Of the other riders Dr. W. J. Smyth and
H. Parsons each piloted one winner.
The race for the Ladies' Plate was
won by Ulctma, \u25a0which was named by
Mrs. Rudolph Spreckels. The race was
a renewal of the. struggle between the
Spreckels mare and Mldlove, the daugh
ter of Midlothian from the Clark sta
ble.' The former won by. an open
length and was full of running at the
finish. She' showed first at the start
and maintained her advantage through
out. ; The victory of the cerise with
green fieur de lis, the Spreckels colors,
was a popular one and the winner was
vigorously applauded upon returning to
the scale. Mrs*. Spreckels was warmly
congratulated for having nominated the
winner in this race.
The fiesta of sports will be brought
to a conclusion thi3 afternoon, when
the final game of the polo tournament
will be played on Mr. Clark's field. The
opposing, teams will represent Bur
lingame and Santa Barbara.
won a game In the tournament and in
the line obtainable on their form they
seem closely matched. It. is thought
the Burllngame men will have the ad
vantage in the ponies, their mounts
all showing marked class. The game
will vbe commenced at 3 o'clock and
will be open to-the general public. It
is expected to attract a large attend

Stanford Athletic Teams Plan
Trips to Other Points
Special Dispatch to The Call
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Feb. 23.—
Trips to other points -now seem assured
for the baseball and track teams
and the rowing crew. The base
ball game with the Universi£y
of Nevada at Reno has been
settled for some time, arangements vir
tually are complete for sending: the
track squad to Oregon and a flattering
offer has come from Los Angeles to
the boating men, guaranteeing all their
expanses }f they will travel to th«
southward some time before the inter
collegiate regatta. In addition to thi«
offer, which was made by a land com
pany, the southerners will put up' a sil
ver trophy as a memento of the occa
sion, to 'be retained by the cardinal
oarsmen. , The only drawback is that
there, are no eights rowing in; the
southern waters,; and Murphy would
haveyto^break. tip his crew. to compete
against the boat clubs of Los Angeles
and San Diego. However, this objec
tion \u25a0 has been waived ,. and as - soon as
the sanction of the executive committee
is obtained arrangements for the trip
will be completed.
A new and rather unexpected factor
has been injected -. into the track dis
pute in the attitude .which the : mem
bers of the track team themselves are
taking. They arc strongly opposed to
any cessation of intercollegiate rela
tions, for reasons outside of 'the fact
that they are confident of victory over
California should . a meeting be held.
Training on the cinders Is the: most
arduous of . all athletic work, probably,
and the great incentive ; has been the
chance of -winning; aya v varsity' letter.
The athletes are not to put In
three , months'. " training with no pros
pect of reward. -More than . thai, the
situation ; here thte year is unusual in
that -there are a of good .men
who have worked ; conscientiously for
three or more years and established
their ability 'as athletes " ques
tion.'but who have never been given an
opportunity t,o win the honor of. a var
sity letter. . One of these Is Nash, prob
ably 1 the_ greatest varsity distance man
who has- ever . run ; on ..the coast. He
is now \u25a0 In- his senior year," has won nu
merous races for the 'cardinal, has' set
a".new: rnarkton the~ varsity track and
yet t has; never, won a;letter.
\u0084 Friends* of :,the sport I assert thatf- a
cessation"' of ; relations , this spring
wouldiglve'athletlcs a black eye. The
situatlonMsjust beginning to be appre
ciated, arid the^cooleV: heads among the
student^body ' realize * that . some action
ought* to" be .taken ,to end the* deadlock;
