President Spreckels Resigns and Creates a2 nantion. ¢ SAN FRANCISCO, March 11.—President A. B. Spreckels, Secretary W. 8, Leake, Vice President Henry J, Crocker and Di- rector W. S. Hebart are to send In thei resignations today as directors of the Pa- cific Coast Jockey Club, which established the fine Ingleside track. According to the report, M. F. Tarpey and Maj. H. N. Andros also are to resign. The proposed withdrawal of A. B. Spreckels from the club was the talk of all the racing men in the hotel corridors last ght, and the news created a decided sen- sation, and all sorts of rumors were fly- ing around in regard to the cause. It is understood that Spreckels sold his interest in the club to Ed Corrigan and Jos. Ul- man, the ern horsemen, who were as- sociated with him in the Ingleside track. The Ingleside plant cost something like a quarter of a million dollars. A B. Spreckels virtually carried the whole jockey club, putting up nearly every dollar required in the building of the track. W. S. Leake resigned as postinaster at Secramento to accept the position of s retary, and through his efforts and untir ing zeal the Ingleside track has been a Breat success. He managed the racing property in the most skillful manner, and kis retirement from the turf will be hailed with general regret by all racegoers. Dur- ing his management the association has cleared over $200,000, and the second season is not yet over. This is a phenomenal showing and virtually pays for the entire racing property. It is already rumored that Harry Kuhl, the present clerk. of the scales, Corrigan’ ex-secretary at Hawthorne, will receiv= the position vacated by Leake. ‘The Pacific Jockey Club will also require another president, and it is whispered that strenuous effort is to be made to get Hen J. Crocker to acti:as president. He has $1,000 worth of stack in the Pacific Coast Jockey Club. Therprincipal stockholders left are Ed. Corrigan, Joe Ullman, Pat. Dunne, Barney #ckrieber and John’ Bren- oek.
