Any coursing man In good standing, whether a mem- ber of a club or not, may enter a dog for this stake. 2 The history of coursing on the plains ig the history of the sport in this gzaxe. Since 1860 the leashmen have annually mude this pilgrimage to the open coun- lry, where the hares are on their native heath ready to give battle to the fleetest greyhounds in the land. California has €Ver been the home of coursing in Amer- ica. Here the sport has thrived under the fostering care of men who have ever tried to keep it on the high plane of a gentleman’s pastime, Two reasons are assigned why coursing has developed such proportions in this State. The abundance of hares -within casy reach of the big cities and the fact of San Francisco being a seaport are the reasons igned. The coursing men br n_l their love of the pastime from nd and finding conditions favorable, took it up here. Hardly an English ship ved in the harbor that did not bring reybound. There was intense rivalry, which meant a continual striving for bet- ter stock. It was a gentleman’s pastime, little thought being given as to prizes. AAmmAg the old enthusiasts were Dr. Bharke Nat Curry, Captain Place, Clem Jim Adams, Tom Tunstead, Jim owner of Tdilamore; Judge Bryan Dougherty, Dominick n, John Egan, John Hughes, John ¥ll and Dr. Ayres.

As a re- sult the Senatorial baserunners man- aged to reach the plate once in a while, just enough to break the monotony. Score, 3 to 0. The grounds came near being in. the worst condition possible and the fielders could not hold the ball, at least the local men could not. Abouit fifty. people moped abcut the stand and bleachers and won- dered why they came. Rain threatened to come down with a rush at any moment, but it held aloof just long enough for the game to be completed. It happened to be the fastest ball game ever played at Recreation Park. Only an hour and eight minutes elapsed from the time the first ball was thrown until the last man was retired. This record is sec- ond only to the one which the same teams established a few weeks ago when they played a game on the Oakland field in an hour and seven minutes, the fastest game of the season. Williams and Thomas did the curve shooting act and honors were about even up. Williams' support was decidedly to the bad, while the fielders who worked behind the Sacramento lad managed to svpport him good enough to keep the Ponies away from the plate all the time. Tacks Parrott forgot to show up, so Martin Glendon' was stationed out in cen- ter field for the locals. He missed three easy chances and then managed to hold on to a hard hit line drive, which caused the faithful few to yell for keeps. Delmas rapped out a three-bagger in the third, but he was forced at the plate by Wil- liams, After that the Ponies did not have a chance. The score: SAN FRANCISCO. AB. R. BH. SB. PO. A.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 5.—A home run by Jackson, and the bunching of timely hits in the second and sixth innings helped Los Angeles to win the game from Oak- land at Chutes Park this afternoon by a score of 6 to 3. Hodson was not in good form. He' walked six men during the game, besides allowing ten hits. Milis was in the box for the home team and except for a bdd time in the third, when the northernery drove out three hits, he kept the visitors guessing. Five of Loh- man’s men struck out.

Schorr's boy, in the saddle, sitting still. The books were hard hit by the victory of Galanthus. The regulars were down to a man onthe horse.. So strong was the play that the price was chopped down from 8% at the opening to 2 at post time. Galanthus in the mud, last year, used to be a 1 to 2 shot and he had beaten much better horses than were pitted against him yes- terday. The old-timers remembered this and they literally ate up all the Galan- thus money they could find. Digby Bell was played for the show. He finished sec- ond, a length in front of The Buffoon. GRAFTER WINS HANDILY. Harry Stover had one of his birds—Au- tolight—entered in the fourth and on the strength of the horse’s second to Som- brero in the Thanksgiving handicap he was made favorite over The Grafter. Under a strong play, however, Grafter was soon placed on a basls of equaliry with the Stover animal. Grafter is a cun- ning rascal‘in the mud. He was always used to race around the brush country and usually he delivered the goods. He was known to be in the pink of condi- tion; hence the heavy play on him. Ransch, who had the leg up, took him out in front at the beginning and there was nothing to it after that. McCue, on Autolight, made a bluff at the sixteenth pele, but Ransch had something up his sleeve and when he let the old horse down he drew away. and won handily. Autolight beat Meehanus & balf length for the place. . Mocorito won the first race in thorough- bred style, Veritably, it was a cake walk for the anlmal. Ransch had the mount and this, of course, made the horse ten pounds better. On the race with Tower of Candles Thursday, in which Mocorito beat the Tower easily, the mare display- ed her old-time speed, so when the lay- ers began to chalk yesterday they quoted her at 11 to 20. She got away in the lead and was never headed. Nullah, at 50 to 1, got the place from Nora D. When the boys returned to the stand after the race all save Ransch; who had been in front all the way, were splattered with mud and it was impossible to distinguish the bright colors of their garments. T{NG-A-LING FAVORITE. In the second Ransch, on the favorite, Ting-a;Ling, made another runaway race of it. This is the first time Ting has had a geod boy on her back and probably this fact had something- to do with making her the favorite. Heretofore the: mare has been nervous and restless at the bar- to get away with the field. Yesterday she was as meek as a lamb. Ransch got her away in the lead and hugging the rail all the way brought her home an easy winner. Rim Rock was touted as the real cream cheese for the peep money and the strong piker play on the horse caused the bookies to rub frequently. Rim Rock, however, did not make good. Cameron and his friends made another clean-up in the last with Imported Mil- dred Schultz. The last time she went to the barrier she was quoted at 15 to 1 she came home an easy winner. Yesterday she was 15 to 1 again and the old dopesmiths didn't figure her a chance in the mud. Caesar Young's Malaspina was the favorite at 3 and even. Az- arine, with Harry Cochran, who has just arrived from the East, in the saddle, was rplayed by the talent for the place. Phyl- his was also backed, while Velma Clark came in for some support. Schultz won going away, while Azarine nosed Nonie out of the place meney. Velma Clark was practically left at the post. Gus Lanka won the third from the fa- vorite, Leader. e TO-DAY’S ENTRIES.

Seven of the swift- est kind of scraps were decided in fast style. In the event of the evening, Barney Driscool retained his right to the amateur bantam welght championship of the Pacific Coast by gaining the decision over Johnny Crowe in four hard fought rounds. ‘This mill was fast and furious. from the start and the only thing it lacked to class it as a hair raiser was hard punching. Both the little. fellows used great caution and neither made an attempt at striking a blow unless he was sure of landing. Each lad displayed a barrel full of clever- ness and many ‘a telling blow was quickly blocked at the right moment. Driscoll forced the fighting from the tap of the gong and kept after his man all the time. Crowe, however, was a won- der at blocking punches and Driscoll did not land a single wallop till the third round. Crowe, in the meantime, waited for his opponent to come within his reach when he would shoot out his left but not always with good effect. The punching of each man came near being about even and all the blows were landed around the soler plexus. When the bout was ended the two judges dis- agreed and Referee McDevitt gave the decision to Driscoll. Some of the specta- tors did not like the ruling, but it cer- tainly was a just one and was awarded to the better man. In the first event on the card George Robinson was awarded the decision over Jack Murphy, after four rounds of clean, hard fighting. Dick Hyland put Henry Facio to the land of slumbers in the fourth. Hyland fought a cautious fight and steadily wore his man down. The fight between Joe Leahy and Jack Bowles was a whirlwind. It was full of all kinds of excitement. Leahy proved the stronger and near the end of the . fourth put Bowles down and out with a few straight lefts. ‘William Tardelli put Jack Johnson, a big colored lad, on queer alley in about one minute of fighting. Al Young was pitted against James Howard and his seconds threw.up the sponge in the second. Bob Fitzsimmons Entertains. Bob Fitzsimmons and his toupee were hosts last evening at the old Poodle Dog. Former Police Captain Fred Esola and Hon. William H. Alford, chairman of the Democratic committee, were the guests. The dinner was merely an informal affair, none of the parties being in even- ing attire. There was a noticeable ab- sence of the old vintage, as Bob is riding side by side with Jim Jeffries on the high seat of the-water cart. There was, nev- ertheless, an exuberance of good fellow- ship and Bob was the particular good fel- low. He and his distinguished guests have been intimate friendq for many years and as Bob is getting reddy to make an ex- tended sparring tour with “the big fellow’ he thought it meet and proper he should entertain them. Fifz presented each of the diners with a handsomely engraved steel horseshoe which he molded with his own hands. After the dinner the party adjourned to an up-town theater, where they continued a pleasant evening. —_——— Gone Before Higher Judge. Derby McGinley, one of the men' who was at work on the steamer Progreso when the explosion occurred Wednesday morning and is among those reported missing, was arrested early last Sunday morning at the Potrero for discharging firearms within the city limits and carry- ing concealed weapons.
