CRACKS BEATEN AT FRISCO. "It was Montgomery that met his Waterloo yesterday. At that, lie had to encounter bad luck to lose by a nose .to Jack Nunnally, but he was beaten nevertheless. It was tho same old story," said Benny Benjamin in last Sundays Chronicle. "The crack Morcllo was beaten at the old Bay District track by Realization. After winning the American Derby, Roy el Santa Anita came back to California and was defeated at the old Bay District track. Bannockburn was another crack that had liis measure taken, and the list could be materially extended. Every crack horse ever brought "here has met with defeat. There is no doubt that. Montgomery is a good race horse. He. has shown his calibre against the best horses in the country, and the Crescent City Derby winner of last year looks all over a race horse. But the fates were not propitious and Jack Nunnally, clear of interference, beat Montgomery, which had bad racing luck, by a scant nose."
