THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, JANUARY 19, 1902 EVENTS ON THE RACETRACK AND GOLF LINKSHW QUAIL SHOOTING AT SANTA MARIA Sportsmen Report It the Best in Entire State. Birds Are Plentiful and Are Found in Large Bevies. The sportsmen who attended the field trials at Santa Maria are straggling home one by one. A few moments’ conversa- tion with Frank Maskey, W. W. Van Ars- dsle, Sam Cutler or T. J. A. Tiedemann furnishes an explanation as to their re- luctance to leave the Santa Barbara foot- hills. Siich quail shooting, they affirm, is not o be found in any other part of the State, the birds being so numerous as to abso- lutely confuse the cleverest field shots. The sportsmen were taken to & spot ‘where there were thousands of birds in | Dbevies ranging from fifty to 50 each. They ot up in front of the men, behind them, | to thelr right and to their left in such numbers as to positively embarrass them. | Limit bags were the rule. Mr. Van Ars- dale and the other gentlemen in his party drew the cartridges from their guns when | they had killed twenty-five birds each. On the way to their wagons birds were continuously starting up from under their fee! t. Fred Butler thought he had surely | found & sportsmen’s paradise. He se- cured the limit on quall each day with hardly the expenditure of an extra cart- ridge. When his friends were starting home he was preparing to go after English snipe and had promised himself some duck shooting and then another try at quail. ‘When the trials were ended Mr. Van Arsdale invited a number of gentlemen to shoot over his great dogs. In the party were: Sam Cutler, C. W. Hibbard, T. J. A. Tiedemann, Judge Balmer, Mr. Elliott, H. T. Payne, Mr. Trott and “Jim" Cooper. The latter resides in Santa Maria and be- sides being & jolly companion in the field he knew the habits of the quail as a gooa shepherd knows the habits of his flock. Men in the party familiar with conditions throughout the State say no such sho ing is to be found anywhere else in Cali- fornia. Another party made up of J. Kilgariff, H. E. Keller, J. E. Terry and J. H. Schumacher went out the same day and shot over the crack dogs from W. 8. | Tevis' kennel. George Anderson of San Jose, S. Hodge and Charles Douglass enjoyed some of the shooting. After the trials at Santa Maria the fol- lowing officers were elected for the Field Trials Club for the emwuing year: Presi- dent, Joseph E. Terry; first vice president, W. W. Van Arsdale; second vice presi- dent, H. W. Keller; secretary-treasurer, Albert Betz; executive committee—W. S. Tevis, Clinton E. Worden, C. N. Post, J. | H. Schumacher and T. J. A. Tiedemann It was decided to hold next year's trials on the second Monday in January at a place to be selected by the excutive com- mittee. A vote of thanks was extended Judge John A. Balmer for his conscien- tious efforts and his satisfactory decis- ions. The great setters and pointers in the Van Arsdale kennels will competition again under h has leased his entire string to Charles Babcock, who in the past has served him in the capacity of trainer. Dr. Dani: | the polnter which won the All-Age stake, will probably be taken East to the field | trials, together with some of the hi class setters. Mr. Van Arsdale never gold & dog, any passing from his posses- sion being through gifts to friends. Trainer Babcock can make tion of them as he thinks w kennels will be given some distin name, in which the dogs will hereaficr be entered CALIFORNIA CYCLER WINS THE SIX DAYS' CONTEST With His Team Mate He Establishes a New Record in This Class of Competition.

Two stakes were run down yesterday at Union Coursing Park and many good trials resulted. In the stake of poorer class the talent was in good form pick- ing winners. During the stake of twen- ty-six courses the judgment of the wise ones was reversed in but four instances, none of which were. at odds strong enough to worry. The happiness of the big bettors was but temporary, for in the run-down of the stake in which the coursers of higher class contested the knowing ones were given a shake-up the memory of which will not be effaced for a season at least. Eleven short ends helped to put some heavy crimps in the bank rolls of the capitalists, and long be- fore the programme had neared comple- tion many heavy investors quit the game to fill downtown engagements. D. J. Healey's Tiburon was the first to displease the magnates. Tiburon was figured to get well along in the stake and was made a 3 to 5 choice over Freda C. He made one point to Freda's four. In the course following Charta, A. R. Curtis’ stake-winner, was picked for a good investment and her backers quoted 3 to 1 that she could outpoint Little Sis- ter. The speculators wefe accommodated quite freely, for Little Sister in any com- pany is not without stanch admirers. Sister won the course in a long trial. After a few shorter priced ppsets Wedgewood added to the misery of the men of wisdom by allowing Pasha Ken- nels’ Royal Archer outwork him for the flag. Wedgewood was well; backed at 1 to 5. Sharman’s Firm Fellow: accorded i- lar treatment to Homer Boy, a nt stake-winner. He was so much in favor that the talent played him heavily as a 1 to 5 choice. . Near the conclusion of the stake Ire- land, quoted at like odds, failed to make good with Ellsta. The big stake has an open look, with Freda C, Little Sister, Roman Athlete, Vangdal, Merrimac, Harlean Gladys, War Eagle and Freeze Out bunched at 6 to 1 in the long odds book. Freda C at the top and War Eagle at the bottom of the card are the strongest candidates. In the other stake Chicago Boy, Lady Davenport, May Hempstead and Miss Wilson are figured good chances. Other likely winners in the second round are Loyal Lad, Tralee Boy, Narcissus, Hap- hazard, Rona and Bonnie Pasha. In the second event Melrose Lad, Auck- l]and. Sartonin, Wapsee, Mayflower, Bo- gus Baron, Clarice, Imperial and Bonnie Hughie are the choice. - The day’s results, with Judge John Grace’s official scores, follow: Open stake No. 1, first round—George Neth- ercott’s Freda C beat D.

Even if the distance, one mile and a furlong, was somewhat of an oddity for him, the little chestnut is such a popular favorite that his odds fell from 8 to 6 to even money. But even the skill and tenacity of the redoubtable Tommy failed on this occa- sion. Form players figured the most dan- gerous of the other three starters was Scotch Plaid, picking up but 97 pounds. They hit the nail on the head, for at the start J. Ransch went out in the lead with the Burns & Waterhouse entry, and, al- ways the pacemaker, he won pricking his ears two lengths in advance of Constel- lator. Burns made his move on the far turn with Horton, but when the mile had been covered looked beaten, and no end of hard urging could move him up to the leader. It was expected Constellator woull go out for the lead, but he was rated by Jackson, which possibly did not improve his chances. Frangible made only a fair showing. The winner pulled up lame and will probably do no more racing for some time to come. ‘ Despite the gloomy and threatening as- pect of the weathér there appeared no diminution in the attendance. A light downfall of rain which started in after the second race omly served to lay the dust. Favorites performed creditably, capturing four of the six events, None the less disastrous, perHaps, was the defeat of Green Morris’' crack colt Homestead by The Pride, for the Wood- land handicap at seven furlongs. Just a nose separated the pair at the wire, and 1o the fact that O'Connor drew his whip, allowing the three-year-old to swerve with the wire within reach, many ascribe his downfall. Mercer, the mount of little Redfern, closed favorite, with Homestcad, shouldering 113 pounds, next to top weight, second in demand at twos. At the start, which was not one of Dick Dwyer’s best, Spencer went out in front with Sly, closely trailed by Kitty. Kelly and Homestead. There was little change in this order until well into the stretch, when O'Connor assumed the lead with his mount. Johnny Woods all this time had been riding a patient race on The Pride, and in a well timed challenge he caught Homestead leg weary, gaining the decision by a nose. Almost left at tke post, Princess Titania came from _the backwoods, finishing a close third. While in a prominent position, Mercer, the fa- vorite, bled, falling back to the rear. At one time 10 to 1 could be obtained about the winner. Walter Jennings took the first purse with his Darebin filly Jacqueminot. She closed equal favorite with the Schreiber entry Killdoe, and ridden by Bullman led all the way. O’Connor landed King He ald in the place, while Killdoe ran third. ¥ In races where the scale of weights is raised, Afghan seems to be a difficult horse to beat. The chestnut went to the post favorite for the Futurity courze sprint carrying 127 pounds, with Lee Jack- son up. After Saul of Tarsus and John Peters had tired Jackson moved up with his mount_ leading Saul out a neck. The two-year-olds were asked to go half a mile, and the Burns & Waterhouse youngster Thaddeus was again returned & Sinner. His was not an easy victory, however, for Spencer rode him out to the last ounce to down Arabo a head, in 4§ seconds. The latter colt had 50 to 1 chalk- ed about him, and showed marked im- provement. Past Masier ran a good third. Judging from his latest effort, Vesuvian is now a front runner. The Jennings horse was the whole thing in the betting on the closing mile run, and led from staft to finish. Janice finished second and Headwater third. S Track Notes. Killdoe shows to better advantage when allowed to sift along out in front. Sweet Caporal, one of the choice offer- ings in the second race, runs as if afflicted ‘with the gout. Thaddeus appears to be ong of the use- ful sort, that no matter in what kind of company they start—just win. The fearfully hot’pace in the last race, the first three-quarters in 1:16, must have made The Fretter quit. J. Ransch rode a nicely rated race on Scotch Plaid. Top weight and make the running was asking too much of Sly. The Pride ought to be hard to beat from now on. It looks as If he is thor- oughly acclimated. @ ivieivirivleimiiiieliiileiiiieel @ Racing at New Orleans. NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 18.—Crescent City summary : First race, selling, six furlongs—Orla won B.

QUESTIONS MUST GO TO THE FULL CAUCUS Democratic Steerl; Committee in the { House Reaches a Decision on Policy. WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.—The Demo- cratic steering committee of the House of Representatlves reached a decision to-day | on a hne of policy to be recommended to | ihe caucus of the minority in the House. The committee also agreed to request Representative Hay of Virginia, chairman of the Democratic caucus, to call a cau- cus for next Friday night, for the pur- pose of passing upon .the report of the steering ccrmittee. The steering committee is made up of twelve Democratic memmbers of the House. They were appointed soon after the pres- ent session began to-take under consider- ation various resolutions which were pro- posed, declaratory of the attitude of the Democratic party and lts representatives | in Cengress.

Match Will Be Held BAGEBALL MEN N REBELLION Object to the Action of Minor Lsague Officials. Will Opposs Any Attempt to Curtail Their Priv- ileges. KANSAS CITY, Jan. 18.—Dale Gear, secretary of the Baseball Players’ Pro- tective Association, gave out an interview to-night which indicates a clash is im- minent between the players’ organization and the National Association of Minor Leagues. Gear says the reported declar- ation of officials of the minor associations will certainly be resented by the players | who are fighting for freedom and that they “will not stand idly by and allow ves to be handled as a lot of Qear continues: “To be told they will have a fine assessed if they dare accept a position In another league where bet- ter money was pald was an action of this combine, the minor leagues, directly against the interests of the players and was striking at the very root of Players’ Protective Assoclation. It at- tempted to destroy all the good the union rad done for the players and I, as secre- tary ot the association, will send out let- ters to all members warning them againsc this new combine organized in the interests of the managers and to fur- ther shackle the plavers.” Gear wrote to-night to President Daly in regard to the matter and will press it to an issue between the players and Powers' organization. Gear further states the reserve clause, against which the players fought and which really resulted in the organizing of the players, is the foundation of the asso- clation of the minor leagues. A player must respect a reservation or be subject to a heavy fine—$1000 for leaving the Western League or Eastern League. The players, Gear says, have secured the concessions asked from the National and American leagues and it is not th intention to have the minor league cials, who have always posed as friends of the players, act against their inter- ests.
