ARASEE SETS THE PAGE AND TAKES OPENING HANDICAP i THEFIELD OF THE OPENING HANDICAP IN THE STRETCH NEAR THE FINISH: ARASEE IS LEADING, WITH BUBBLING WATER SECOND. BELOW IS A SNAPSHOT- OF. T X HE FIELD RETURNING TO THE BAR j ':vRIERAFTER:A^FALSE:START;FROMTHEiPOST:^-^^^^^^^^^^^ . / BUBBLING WATER IS ONLY CHALLENGER Enfield Shows Rare Burst of Speed Over the Futurity Course JOSEPH MURPHY Th* popularity of racing in Califor- ' via Tra? thoroughly attested yesterday at PmeryrUle racetrack. when a crow* above S.OOrt grathpred withii tlir> and w^lroraM in the soa- ; Boa. Every condition was perfect for sn auspicious op^ninjc:; the gloom of the preceding day. which threatened rain, pasppd away, and the day opened up dry and clear, with the bright sun- Fhine Riving the course a cheerful ap praranc». Arasee, K. F. Wright's geld ing, second in choice In the betting, came homft in front In the Opening: handicap after running a brilliant race. It was a well earned victory and there can be no questioning the merits of it. *s the son of Blues made the pace around the course and easily shook off Bubbling Water, the only challenger, in the stretch, negotiating the distance in 1:39 3-5, truly fast time. The opening: was far more cheerful than that of a year ago, when 'the pport appeared to he doomed on ac count of adverse lrgriplation. Yesterday the ring reminded one of the old days when you could go up to a book maker and het what you pleased on any horse without interference. The oral system pppmed to have been drilled Into the patrons and they took to It with free dom. There were 14 laj-ers at their station? and they were, swamped with a delg-ue of coin to be placed on the various entries. This was twice as many as were in line, on the opening day last season. Tt was not a successful day as far as the. financial ventures of the patrons were concerned, as but one choice came down Jn front, and that was En field, which was an equal favorite with the great sprinter, John H. Sheehan. Interest centered in the handicap, in which the original 10 entries faced the starter. Spellbound, on the strength. of his preat eastern reputation and his fa??t workouts, was the choice, being han-.mfrer] down, from S to 5 to 7 to 5. The favorite was out of it at the start, as Glass jrot him sway poorly and his chances looked to be. lost when the barrier flew up. However, it is doubt fjjl if he could have beaten the winner, which ran a pmashing race. Arasee, with Van Dusen up, w?s oft in front and lost no tlmo in shaking off his fir-Id. At the quarter he led by to and a half lensrths, with Bubbling Water next in line. Spellbound was mowing down the leaders and Glass was puttinr his roount to a test in an effort to get near the pacemaker. Bubbling TValer, the idol of California race goers, was running her race. The daughter of Colonel Wheeler was hard ly up to v a bruiFinj? contest, but her class was asserting itself, and she. was holding on to the leader with bulldog tenacity. Arasee was thoroughly fit and all Van Duspti had to do was to hold him In check and allow him to make his own pace which was enough for the other entries. Bubbling Water was lapping the winner at the head of the stretch and some thought that the mare might best him In the run home, but she was not equal to the task. Onop. Van Dusen let Arasee down he opened up a gap and crossed the wire two and a half lengths in front of Bubbling Water, with Colonel Jack, a rank outsider, third.. s-^V, Spellbound had made up a world of ground and would liave been fighting it out at the finish with a better start. The effort to make up lost ground told on him in the stretch and he had noth ing left. The surprise of the race was the showing of the veteran campaigner, Colonel Jack. He was 50 to 1 in the ring and ran an excellent race. The betting on the handicap was lively. Spellbound got the bulk of the play." Arasee and Bubbling "Water got a fair play, both of them closing at 7 to 2. Every horse in the race, with the exception of Spellbound, receded in the betting. There were numerous surprises dur ing the day. Dencen opened up the sport by c<Jmin|r home in front in the first race at odds of . 15 to I. Cotton's entry, as usual, put up a great stretch run and outgamed the favorite, Billy Myer, which made the pace with Mil , pitas. - Novgorod, which was jprominen^ all the Tray, finished third, tiring badly in the stretch. The fields generally were 'large, 'there being only one scratch during the afternoon. Lady Elizabeth declining the issue In the closing event." Efield showed a rare burst of speed in the last race over the futurity course. The bush phenom shot out of the bunch at the paddock and overcame Jim Basey, the pace maker, in the last few yards. Enfleld was an equal choice with John H. Sheehan, which was held at 2's in the ring. Ed Ball was played for a good thing in the fifth event, over a mile. The aged son of Virgie dOr was an odds on choice to defeat a small field, but the winner turned up In Red Walker's entry Acumen, which was handled In masterly, fashion by Forehand. Going to the front at the outset. Acumen opened up a big gap while Ed Ball lay behind. In the race down the stretch Forehand held Acumen in hand and Ed Ball moved? up on even terms. It looked as if the latter were going to do It, but Acumen had something left and when Forehand called up the winner in the final test Walker's entry was there. The winner was played down from 3's to 5 to 2. Hooray showed early speed, but \u25a0was apparently short. Olathe was another of the winners on which a juicy price could be: ob tained. G. W. Berry's entry was prime and ready and he finished In front with 8' to 1 laid against him. Olathe made the pace and stood off .Genova's deter mined rush at. the ' finish v The latter was 15 to 1 in the betting. Oswald B dropped Into third place.. Metropolitan, W. M. Cain's 3 year old. \u25a0which has proved a bear in the bushes, showed a keen turn of speed in. the third e\-ent at six furlongs. Cain's horse, which was second choice In the betting, opened up a big ' gap . and romped away from his field. Fancy, overlooked in the betting at 12 to 1. came along and snatched. up a place from' the favorite. Lord of the Forest, by a close fit. The latter was well, supported, but he was a" bit short and tossed it up when' the pinch came.

Success From Every Standpoint / WILLIAM J. SLATTERY \u25a0 : The . most expensive and exclusive animal of them all, the race horse, came back to his own yesterday afternoon at the Emeryvjlle racetrack despite the national movement to eliminate him from the ranks. He showed, too, that he could come back with nearly all the grace and the pomp and the splendor which used to mark his efforts in the past. It was a great day for the horse and the followers of the horse and, judging from the turnout, there will be many another great day during the coming 100 or more on the track across the bay. A fair day, the very thing which the horsemen and their followers were looking and praying for all these weeks, made the opening day of the Calif ornla. jockey ' club's season a far more pronounced success than it was a year - ago yesterday. Despite the counter attraction,, the football game, some 6,000 crowded their way into the betting ring and the grand stand . and the clubhouse at Em eryville. There was nothing lacking in the makeup. President Thomas H. Williams, the man who guides the destinies of racing in this far western land, was there with a smile of satisfaction. The event surprised even him and, as they all know, this dean of the turf is ever hopeful. He saw a new life for the game yesterday. He could come to no other conclusion than that the people of San \u25a0 Francisco wanted to see the horses run • and were willing to pay their money for the privilege. A year ago yesterday- the layers of odds, the betting . commissioners and the bettors were shy and skeptical and suspicious. They hid behind posts and whispered and nudged one another through fear. Yesterday they went right ahead and bet their money and won or lost it. There was no fear of arrest, no lurking suspicion that every thing was not all right. When the crowd had assembled In the betting rings somebody dug up a soap box, which was quickly mounted by. Attorney Carroll Cook, and a cheer went up \u25a0as the attorney for the race track, interests* raised his hand and made ready to deliver^ his . annual speech of warning and caution, his final instructions to bookmakersand players alike. Cook assured- them all that they were well within the -law, but he cau tioned them not to take any chances. He laid down the \ law of oral betting as established by the "Walker-Otis bill and defined by. the last decision of the supreme court of the state. The crowd listened intently and cheered at the finish. Then 'the" bookies took their places and began to quote prices on the opening race of the season and the bet tors : fairly jammed; themselves around In an effort to wager their money. ! I If there is any" scarcity of money in San Francisco, Oakland or the - sur rounding cities there certainly waa -no evidence of \ such ' financial stringency in: the Emeryville betting ring yester day afternoon. Just as soon as the 14 { bookies took their places in -the ring they, were besieged 1 by. the anxious bet* tors, • all fighting for a chance to place their money on- the chances of the horses they liked.. lt was Just the same as the olden days except that pro grams took the places of the black boards and " the bookmakers mingled with the crowd instead of standing aloof on : the block and shouting. The public^dld the shouting yesterday." -.Everything in the betting ring seemed to work like a magic charm. There were no mixups, . no mistakes and no disturbances. . Evidently 4 Cook's words were heard . and appreciated by everybody; and- none of them, gave a single thought to the presence of of ficers of the law.v - Practically all- the veterans," the old timers and the regulars . were there. .Very ; few of those who were, expected faiLed to materialize.,. They all shook hands with 'one * another,- extended con gratulations and talked about the pos sibility of a great season under the new betting laws. 'What a difference from the i outlook which : last -year's opening day" presented!' ;• Although the card lacked, the, claas whioa, ; the . track I used .to boast " whan everything was free and easy, still the crowd did not seem to pay much atten tion to this shortcoming. All It wanted was a chance to wager its money. The prices looked fair enough to everybody, and there was little or no grumbling on this account. Taking It all In all. the first day of the 1910-1911 meet was a success for everybody, including Tom Williams, the book makers, the horsemen and the men who won and lost their money. The people showed yesterday that they want racing and that they will support it literally if they are given the neces sary chance.
