THE CALL'S RACING PAGE New Contenders Come Forward and Only Two Favorites Are Successful at Emeryville J. R. Jeffery The Emeryville track was not far from fast yesterday for the first time since the setting in of the winter rains early in December, and horses that had fierured prominently over the had tracks found themselves relegated to the rear, while fresh contenders carried off the spoils. This is only in line with the experience of past sea eons, for each winter at the close of the usual long spell of wet weather the horses whose speed has been dulled by constant campaigning through the mud invariably are com pelled to take a rear position when track conditions improve. Yesterday's list of winners was made up of two favorites, two third choices and two long shots. The win ning favorite* were heavily backed Rnd there was also substantial sup port for fet. Elmwood and Monaco Maid, the two successful third choices, but Matt Hogan and Blue Heron, the winning outsider*, had shown so little in public that th^y were not even seriously considered by the average racegroer. ST. ELMWOOD TRIUMPHS The seven furlong sprint which was carded b.s the fourth race on the pro pram was really the feature of the afternoon's t=port. In It St. Elmwood, Rudolph Spreckels' splendid 4 year old son of St. Symphorlen-Installatrix, triumphed over a clever band of in decisive style. St. Elra woqfl, whose mud form had been far below the clever class he had shown on th« dry track early in the season, Frreadeagfled his field from start to finish and the issue of the race was never In doubt from the moment that the barrier went up. St. Elmwood acted badly at the post as usual, but Tlegg-ie Davis succeeded in getting h!m away to advantage, and he took the lead almost instantly. Timotny TVen and Bye Bye IL two long shots That had been played for killings, \u25a0were the contenders throughout and fin ished second and third respectively, several lengths behind the \u25a0winner, whosfe victory was scored with ease. The chances of several of the contenders, including Janeta, the favorite, And Mas*a, the second choice, were spoiled by a bad Jam at the start, for which Bye Bye appeared to be principally responsible. Woolma ran a creditable race and finished a close up fourth, tvhile the others were badly beaten off.' I.OXG SHOTS rfv MOXEV The choices cut absolutely no figure In the decision of the opening race, old Matt Hogan. a 30 to 1 shot, Furze, nt 13 to 1, and Pinaud, a 10 to 1 chance, monopolizing the three positions on which the books paid off. Mrs. Mat thews and Rosi Nl N> had the early speed, but both of thorn stopped to nothing in the final furlong. Matt | -Hojran, always -within striking dis tance, closed with a rush on the ex treme outside, and got up In the clos ing strides to beat out Furze, which looked all over the. winner when the -pace makers began to quit. Expectant. the lukewarm favorite, lost all chance by getting off last. Peerless Lass, T>iayed down to 5 from S for a killing, failed to run back to her previous good race and was never prominent. Little Jane won the 2 year old event In a way that makes her loom as a jrood filly. Outrun In the early stages by A. B. Spreckels' Carmisa, she game ly made up ground in the long stretch , drive and took the Jead from Carmisa at the paddock to win with Jockey Sandy easing up. Sh/» ruled favorite in the betting and there was little support for anything else. Carmisa stuck it out well, even after the favorite passed her. and easily beat the balance for second money. Lula G, which was coupled with Alice Collins as the Schreiber en try, just did last by a nose for show, Rlrth barely failing to get up. HEPEATS HER VICTORY Monaco Maid, running right back to her recent good race, repeated her vic tory In the third race,. in which sto 1 was obtainable against her chances. A.lways within striking distance of the Naders, she took the track when Queen Alamo and Royal Scot could carry their speed no farther and won off by her- P*lf. Wolfville, the favorite, gradu ally worked his way up from last posi tion on the back stretch and managed \u25a0 to just beat Queen Alamo for the place, four lengths back of the winner. Der dom. ' which Wolfville had eupplantsd in favoritism, ran far below his mark, the change from Jockey L*e«ds to Jockey Carroll yielding anything but satisfactory results. Carroll had the horse in all sorts of trouble and put up c very weak exhibition all round. PILOTS SEVEXFLXL TO VICTORY Jockey Kirschbaum was deserving of considerable credit for the part he played la th« victory scored by Harry Stover's notorious quitter, Sevenfull, in the fifth race. The boy judiciously rated the mare the first part, instead of E letting her open a big gap, as in the aeries of races In which she stopped to nothing in the stretch, and utilized h^r speed at the stretch turn to advantage. The consequence was that under ener- 1 getic hand riding she lasted to win by a half length from the fast coming Standover, whose improvement under the change from apprentice rider Ful ton to Jockey Borel was startling-, to say the least. Standover was favorite in a cheap field his preceding start and could not g^t up a gallop. Yesterday he probably would have won with an other stride or two. Sycamore was nosed out of the place and Kappa was a bang up fourth. Herives and Pel ham, which had disputed the early run ning with Sevenfull, both dogged it badly from the last turn to the wire and finished far back. "CI2VCH" PLAYERS ARE SHOCKED Smiley Corbett was considered so much of a certainty to win the closing race of th/» day that he was held at prohibitive odds in the betting and his 'defeat was a crushing blow to a host • f "cinch" players. His defeat by Aady RJakeley's Blue Heron was prob ably entirely due to the failure of Jockey Hayes to get him away from thfl post to advantage. The horee broke lengths behind tlie leaders and it was some time before he could get to the front In the stretch It looked as if he would win anyway, but Blue Heron had morel t-peed left than the favorHe and scored < leverly. Jockey Hayes committed a bad breach of the racing rules, by de liberately cutting off Blue Heron in the stretch and compelling Jockey Gilbert to take up and go to the outside after he had started to come through on the rail. Blue Heron had been well backed \by his st»t>l e across the \board The favorite fcarely lasted to beat Billy Pullman for placv* and - the \atter was only a neck In advantage of tt Avon, so that, all in all. it was a Wy busy finish. Braggart and * Reo lULsa both blew up after showing early sWefi. Alsatian, well ; backed - for place \ * BGHmfifi&HSflHßHi Long Shots Are Among Winners at Emeryville YESTERDAY'S WINNERS Bent Horse.

Gossip of the Track Barqey Schreiber says that Herman Brandt has not given him any intima tion of his reputed intention of branch ing out for himself. So far as the winter campaigning of Jack Atkln is concerned, he says that Brandt advised him that it would be poor policy to let up on the training of the horse because of the unreliable condition of his underpinning. H. G. Bedwell scratched Pajaroita yesterday because the horse collided with the fence in his workout lor the race, and Bedwell was" fearful that the mishap might have hurt him, although the horse gave no outward evidence of injury. William Cahill was almost stunned by Smiley Corbett's poor showing. . He had a bet of $1,000 down on the colt. The way in which the colt performed led him to doubt if the horse was any thing but a mudder. O. A. Bianchi's crack colt Lee Rose was an absentee from the 2 year old stake at Arcadia Saturday for the rea son that he was. a bit off upon arrival at the southern track. He is again going along nicely, however. Jockey Hayes was Bharply repri manded by the Judges tor his foul tactics with Smiley Corbett! It Is not unlikely that should the horse have won he would have been disqualified for palpably impeding Blue Heron. Starter Dwyer fined Jockeys Kirsch baum and Sandy $25 each and sus pended Jockey Lycurgus for three days on account of the persistency with which they broke up starts in the 2 year bid 'race.

Colin, Celt. Ballot,. Superman, Restigouche and .Transvaal have all received track work regularly during the winter when the weather would permit of It and have been exercised under the shed on stormy days.

Coney Island Jockey Club Stakes and Lawrence Realization at Sheepshead Bay. .Celt, it is generally believed, is being pointed for the Brooklyn and Subur ban handicaps, for which* he has been assigned light weight "Early last spring It is known Keene thought as much of Celt as he did of Colin and he thinks very well of him still. . Restigouche and Transvaal are doing well In their work and are confidently expected to do great things as 3. year olds. ::^3^^)nHIMH It was "reported, last fall that Harry Payne Whitney would retire Brook dale'Nymph "to the stud this spring, but it is now. said that she 1 will race again this^ .year.

This waste or refuse matter ferments and sours "and generates uric acid which is absorbed into the blood and distributed to all parts of the body, and Rheumatism, with its torturing pains and aches, inflammation and other disagreeable symptoms, gets pos- session of the system. The ache 3 and pains may be relieved and the inflam- mation temporarily reducedby the application of a good plaster; penetrating 1 liniment or sqpne other^simple ;h'ome remedy, but the disease can never be curecl while the blood remains saturated, with the irritating, pain-producing' uric acid poison. -The^cause should be driven from the blood before the 4 trouble reaches /the chronic or helpless stage" S.

"GA; Uncle tQ^ Enter Both Coast Derby s Keene Brings News From South to Shorn Hildreth's Crack Colt Is Not Lame G. H. Keene, who arrived at Emery ville, Sunday direct . from Arcadia, brings the report that S. C. llildreth"3 $30,000 colt Uncle has been doinsr all that was asked of him in his prepara tion for the California derby at Emery ville the coming Saturday, and that Hildreth informed him shortly before his departure from Arcadia that he waa planning to start the crack son of Star Shoot-The NJece In the derby her© as well as at Santa-Anita. Thi3 would seem - to- effectually dis pose of an irresponsible rumor given publication In certain quarters to the effect that the $30,000 colt had gone lame in his work at the southern trade Keene says k that Uncle looks fit to run for a kingdom, and he predicts that the colt will only have to gallop to win both of the coast derbies. Keene also thinks that Hildreth will win the Waterhouse cup with Montgomery, which crack is being pointed for that stake at the Arcadia track, as it was intimated in Th« Call some time since he would be. Basket Ball Teams in a Quandary Question as to Which Five Will Meet Oakland in the Semifinals The local basket ball teams are In a, quandary to know- \u25a0which one is In a position to meet Oakland In the semi-:,; finals. Although Lick's protest was re-.; ported to be sustained, Lowell's aca-. demic delegate says that the team is ln< perfect standing, and that there is n»n foundation In the rumor that Lowell , will be unable to compete further. ' Lowell and Oakland will meet tthis-,s s -, Saturday for the semifinals, while the winner of that game will meet Santa^ Rosa for the championships provided Lowell is in good standing, and if it is not the whole schedule will be post poned. ? ,The XVllmerdlng basket ball team de* feated the Lick team recently by a score of 29 to 19. Tlie Lick men did not play their usual consistent game, and when Felt, who played forward, was disabled It completely disconcerted the^men. ; The Olympic club Is going to offer a high school cup in the cross country run 'Washington's birthday.
