ORIMAR LAD MEETS DEFEAT A POOR RIDE ON THE FAVORITE ENABLES INEZ TO WIN NARROWLY. William Walker Takes Another Race Rough Riding Brings Punishment to Jockeys Scherrer and Smith. Tijuana, Mcx., December 13. The four-year-old filly Inez, won the the fourth race, the most pretentious on the card here today. Orimar Lad was :vay in a tangle and the effort to get up into contention told on him and in the final drive Inez won; the J. W. Fuller horse down anil Avon in a lose finish. Jockey Morys rode a poor race on the favorite. Bart Prospect, away quickly, ran forwardly throughout and finished a fast-going third. Kyle Avon another race for AVilliam Walker. Kyle is cue of the few winning race mares of the day that is a grandmother. She ran impressively today. Last Spark, winner of the opening race, was bid up and sold to the San Francisco Stable for 00. Ivan Began, secretary to Charles W. Clark, was a visitor here today. He said it was probable that some of the Chirk horses would be shipped to Tijuana. Jockeys Scherrer and E. Smith were set down for five days each for rough riding yesterday. The out-of-town colony of turf followers is increasing daily. Cincinnati has contributed a pair to the recent arrivals Jake Marklein and Charley Moore. The "ex-market master," as Jake came to be known many a long year ago, has come out, he says, to look the Tijuana proposition over, as his horses are turned out for the winter. Another interest that he has here is the fact that he holds the contract on jockey Scherrer, having turned liim over to It. J. Farris for the Tijuana meeting. Little Scherrer, it may be added, has been riding in good form here, and gives promise of developing into a capable rider. The Tijuana betting ring has a sure enough metropolitan air about it these days. Including the "field" stands, there are 17 or 18 books in line every day, and a number of the recognized big operators from the block hold positions in the ring. Among them are the prominent Eastern layers, Henry Hannf, Sam Bradley and Sam Franks, while the West is represented by its "big three," Roy Offutt, William Kyne and Al Kocnigsburg, and lesser lights in the bookmaking game. It is possible to bet a lot of money on a horse in the local ring these days, and there is a lot of money in evidence, too. G. W. AVIngfiehls Nevada Stock Farm is the leading winning stable at the track, both as to number of races and money won. II. T. Batchler, .1. W. Fuller, G. Sadlo, Williams and Sexton, C. A. Davies, and K. J. Ramsey are the other owners doing well.
