'TURF DERELICTS |HANDSOME CUP GIVEN " GIVEN A CHANCE The California Jockey Club Stewards Start With a New Slate. —_— Owners, Jockeys and Trainers Under the Ban, With Few Exceptions, Restored to Full Priv- ileges. S sl With one magnanimous stroke the board of directors and the board of stew- ards of the California Jockey. Club, save in a few of the most flagrant cases of turf dishonesty, restored to good standing a small army of derelicts who had met disaster at the Oakland and the old Bay District race tracks during the yedrs past. Secure in his command of the local racing situation, it was a generous and fitting thing for Thomas H. Willlams to recommend the restoration to full privi- leges of the unfortunates who have found themselves under the ban of the racing authorities at different times occupying the judges’ stand on his race courses. Scattered all over America are the mis- guided individuals who tried to cast dis- credit upon the sport and who will now be allowed back into the fold after pro- tracted wanderings, upon the unders ing that they wiil keep in the narrow path henceforth and repent the evil of their ways. Only in a few flagrant cases was the amnesty denied. The memorable scandal of the “Little Pete” conspiracy, although many years have passed since it was rife, was too fresh in the minds of the officials to be condoned. Trainer Willlamgy and Jockeys Chorn, Chevalier and Hinl¥chs were specifically mentioned as those who may ~expect no forgivenness. ‘“Little Pete,” the wily arch conspirator in the famous scandal that brought these men to grief, is dead, but the machinations of the quintet will' long stand In turf lore as the most colossal cun:‘rlracy to corrupt the sport ever attempted in this or any other country. In addition to_eliminating their names from the pardon list the directors kept under advisement the cases of Jockey Wedderstrand and H. Green- berg. Following is the official report of the action of the directors and stewards: At a meeting of the board of directors and the board of stewards of the California Jockey Club the following proceedings were had: By unanimous vote of the board of.stewards and the board of directors of the Californla Jdockey Club Dow Willlams, Jerry Chor: Chevalier, A. Hinrichs and J. Rubenstein ruled off the turf. The cases of H. Greenberg and H. Wedder- strand remain under agdvisement. All others heretofore under the ban are hereby reinstated and restored to kood standing. Many names long famihar to the fol- lowers of the turf are included in the roster of those to be given a final chance. Jockey Willie Martin, one of the best riders ever seen in the saddle in Califor- ria, is probably the most important among them. Martin has been cooling his heels on the ground for many weary months. He has stanch friends and has made a persistent effort to get back into the silken jacket. He will ride for the popular racing firm of Burns & Water- house, and returns to the pigskin with a chance to redeem himself and ride rap- idly into the front rank of jockeys, where he belongs if he will grasp it. Joe Pig- gott, another promising rider, will get an- other inning. Other jockeys of less note who are within the pale of grace are Jack Ward, Joe Webber, Stuart Peters, Cy. McLain, W. Narvaez, W. H. Martin, Ben Gouinn, Jesse Connelly, Frank Coady and Claude Burlingame. ‘“‘Counselor” Bill Brien, erstwhile train- er for Lucky Baldwin, and a shifty man with a thoroughbred, is among the pen- itents who strayed into evil ways. Danny Lynch, he of Sharkey fame and generai- isstmo of the Hardknot episode, can once more bask in the sunlight of the club’'s paddocks. Sandy McNaughton, Joe Rose and '“Moose” Taylor will be reinitiated. “Dick” Willlams, now training the bi, stable belonging to Barney Schreiber, wil have a chance to get out'of the stalls on the back stretch while his charges come Mayor Phelan Gives a Costly Specimen of the Silversmith’s Art as a Prize for International Shooting Festival n, H. stand ARTISTIC AND VALUABLE SILVER TROPHY NOW ON EXHIBITION AT SHREVE'S, FOR WHICH CRACK MARKSMEN FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD WILL COMPETE. NE of the finest prizes yet pre- sented to the Schuetzen Buhd, for its great international shooting festival, to be held in this city next July, is the cup given by Mayor Phelan and known as the “Mayor " Phelan prize.” The officers of the Bund of the City Hall dome and the eolumns and arches are outiines in detail. _The Whole is surmounted by the figure of the Goddess of Liberty, which is a rare work of art in minlature and which was de- signed by a California artist and manu- factured in a California establishment.

All the ships in port had previously been dressed and the royal yacht approached through the fleet, fully manned and with guards of homor and bands paraded, amid salvos of guns, the firing of a royal salute and the strains of the national anthem. The Ophir en- tered inside the mcle and shortly after- ward the Governor General, Sir George White, and the admirals officially visited the ship. Decorations at the landing stage and along the streets are universal and large crowds have gathered. The Odpmr réports a falr passage. All on board are in good health.
