Fight It Out Today
Closing Race to Be the Only
Contest of Class on Program •
at Emeryville
The CallY Selections
J. R. Jeffery
First race— -Marian Casey, Alice
F, Lackfoot.
Second race— E. M. Urnttnln,
Kornlßln I/alse, Captain Burnett.
Third race— Progress, Crolx dOr,
Lnitlx.
Fonrlh race — Snlnrida, Silver
Line, Surety.
Fifth race — Gorffalete, Nine Spot,' -
Fisher Boy.
Sixth race Mary F, Uomtn,
"Wing Tinip. . .
Best bets — Progress and Mary F.
In all but the closing race selling
platers of ordinary caliber will hare
the call today at Emeryville.
The opener a five and a half furlong
sprint for 2 year olds, has for Its most
promising contenders Lackfoot, Marian
Casey, Alice F and Castile.. Any. one
of this quartet may win. If j Marian
Casey happens to get off well she may
make a runaway race of it, as she ap
pears to run much better when oft In
front than at other times. Lackfoot
will close stoutly. Sombro Is .a . fast
colt, b-ut' i has run green In, both his
starts. ' ,
E. M. Brattain looks to: be in where
he can win in the second. Koenigin
Luise is likely to be the contender
and probably will win should Brattain
8 top as in his recent races. Belle
Kinney is fast and lit, but will jjave
an apprentice" rider up. If Captain
Burnett's last race Is thrown out . he
might.be given a chance.
R. F. Carman's Progress should lead
from wire to wire in the -third. Lustig,
Crolx dOr, Meada and The Reprobate
appear to be the most dangerous of the
contenders.
Bainrlda is fit and may win the
fourth from Silver Line, whose last
race was especially good! Seven fur
longs looks a bit far for Blanche C
in view ofvher last race. Surety and
Calmar are likely ..to flght it out for
the show."~" .
Nine Spot .and Gftrgalete look best in
the fifth. Qorgalete was beaten a half
length by Nine Spot at their last start,
but the former had all the racing luck,
while , Gorgalete had a rough journey.
With an even break Gorgalete may
turn the tables today. Fisher Boy is
In rare form and may be able to -beat
the balance, although several others of
the contestants must be conceded a
chance.- ,v^:-
Mary F on her second to T>«rluicio
in record time a few, days ago looks
'to have: the last race of the day at
her mercy, but Jockey Horner.'lwho
probably will 'ride :her, will have to
do. better than he has with some "of
the horses he has ridden since his. ar
rival from the east, or she will 'be
beaten. Roalta looms as - the most
dangerous contender. Wing Ting is a
high class filly and might.be the sur
prise of the race. A longer route
would probably suit Massa better.

Two Form Upsets Are Feature's
of the Day in [Soccer. "
Football Field *
Bob Sh and
• Soccer fans found something: to medi
tate-about yesterday Tvhen * two of
the league games resulted* to
complete aurprjses. The biggest form
upset of the day was the Independents*
draw with the unbeaten Albion- Rovers
and . of * littie less Importance was the
win of th,^ Burns over the Scotlas.
The Rovers and Independents acquired
two goals apiece, while the. Burns an
nexed the; long end of 2 to 0 score. \u0084
The Thistles overpowered the weak
ened Hornets by three " goals and the
Vampires sent the San Franciscos home
with the short end of a 5-2 score. The
official referee failed to put in an ap
pearance at the latter game, so the re
sult- will make no difference In the
standing of the teams. ;,'
The Rover-Independent game • was
one of the best. ever played at Free
man's park and the Indies deserved all
that they got. It was believed before
the game that the Rovers would have
little difficulty in acquiring the laurfl
wreath, out when the festivities got
well, under? way- it was seen that the
Indies were going to have some say in
the game. The teams lined up as fol
lows: :-\u25a0 \u25a0 i

'•\u25a0 The game at the stadium between the
Burns and Scottlas \u25a0 was bitterly fought
and if anything "the" playing was a lit
tle too strenuous. The first half re
sulted in; a darw, neither side being
able, to pierce the opposing defense, but
in ;the- final;. period the ;;. Burns sur
prised the with their ; speed
and dash and as a result of their : ef
fort.l the Scotias suffered I their ' second
defeat Cof; the season. Gray was re
sponsible for both of the winners' goals.
