NEW SELLING RACE FEATURE. Trainer Bids Up Horse from His Own Stable Jack Atkins Victorious Debut. Los Angeles. Cal.. December 21. The racing today was marked by the peculiar feature of a trainer running up his own horse. Just after Fleming won the last race and was put up for sale, trainer M. Doole.v, who had charge of Carmans horses up to within a few moments of the sixth race, boosted the gelding from 00 to 00 and then desisted. As he walked away from the jndges stand he claimed that It. F. Carmans son had heaped abuse on him and ended it by calling him an objectionable name. He at once reported the circumstance to Judge Hamilton, who told him to make out his charge in writing and he would fully look into the matter. Carman and Doole.v had a falling-out today over what is reputed to be a fuss about salary, the latter claiming that Carman had not paid him since the Hamilton meeting and that he Doole.v had spent ,800 of his own money on the horses. The matter will, in all probability, come before Judge Hamilton for settlement. Jack Atkin made his first appearance here today, running an impressive race and simply playing with a fair band of sprinters at live and one-half furlongs. He is rounding to his best form just at present and is about ready to put up one of his best performances. Pat Dunne finally won a race today with Dainty Belle, the mare winning from a slower band at almost prohibitive odds. Ben Trovato, one of the most consistent horses here, added another purse to his owners credit when he beat Goldway in a mild drive in the fourth race at one and one-eighth miles. Charles Walker, of the firm of Chambers and Walker, arrived here today for the winter from Detroit. He has been coming here for the last five years, usually arriving about the holidays. The somewhat gloomy weather was instrumental in curtailing the attendance, which was the smallest Monday crowd of the present meeting.
