U. champion at 60 and 309 yards, believe that he is the greatest sprinter in the country and that if he could meet other claimants for this honor in a ser- les of races he would demonstrate this assert‘on conclusively. Murchison himself hus stated. or the statement at least has been a: tributed to him, that Hussey In his opinion ts over rated He believes Paddock, on the other hand to be the great rurner that the Southecn Californian appears to ke, but thinks he could show himseif to Le equally great, if not greater. were a special series to be arranged.

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.—Men whose opinion as to the outcome of ring battles is backed by large sums of their own money are laying off the Greb-Wilson battle. Very few bets have been made and all these have been at even money; they have been small wagers, hardly worth mentioning. : The big money will go down when the bettors are satisfied as to Greb’s condition. There has been a lot of talk “that Harry will be weakened at 160 pounds and the testimony of his former manager, George Engel, that he is at his best at 166 pounds and not so good below that welght is being industriously circulated, There are some indications that Wilson may go into the ring with the odds on him, but if this is so, wise ‘persons will take great inter- est in determining just who is tak- ing the Greb end. It would not be surprising {n this event to see some of our shrewdest bettors anding on the small end with both feet. But the writer thinks when the real show down comes Greb will reign a 2 to 1 favorite. — Queen Mab, named as the flag. ship of the Eastern Yacht club of Boston for the coming season, said to be the first schooner American waters to be given dJib;headed mainsail rig. is in the Winter Sports, Opening, of carnival at Man- chester, N.

LOS ANGELES, Callf., Jan. 16.— With MacDonald Smith, SanFran- cisco professional, leading the field by one stroke, the low contestants in the California open golf cham plonship entered the final 36-hole grind of the tournament today on the north course of the LosAngeles country club, MacDonald Smith, known as one of the most consistent players in the game, approached the final rounds with a score of 144, made in the first 36 holes of play Monday and Tuesday. Mel Smith, Pasadena professional, was just one stroke be- hind with 145. These two players, along with Eddie Loos, high rank- ing Los Angeles professional, and Abe Espinosa, of Oakland, Califor- nla, were expected to attract the largest galeries, although Gene Sarazon, national professional cham- pion, and Arthur Havers, holder of the British open title, were also ex- pected to recetve favorable con- sideration. The amateurs were considered hopelessly cut of the running for the title as the professionals held the first thirteen places. The Ama- teur holding the lowest qualifying score was Captain Bullock-Webster, with 155, eleven strokes behind Mao Donald Smith.
