THE SAN FRANCISCO ' CALL SATURDAY CREST LOSES THE STEEPLECHASE IN A DRIVE WITH DUKE OF YORK Five Favorites Fail to Make Connections at Ingleside-—Ring Recoups Some of Its Losses—-Tulare Wins at 25 to 1. AT S S HE steeplechase event, with Lhe most becoming field of jumpers that had as yet faced the starter, attracted a large attendance yes- terday to the Ingleside race course. It turned out a clean cut affair, result- fng in a highly invigorating finish be- tween the two top weights, Duke of York | Il and Crest, the former winning by a | neck. Crest came out here with a great reputation as a “fencer,” and Ezell & Lagzarus’ crack mare certainly lived yp to it. She took the different obstacles without any apparent effort and McAuliffe, her pllot, tried to make a runaway race of it. For a time it seemed he would succeed, when, at the last hurdle, his mount either faltered or swerved. This, in addition to THE CALL'S RACING FORM CHART.

City Engineer Grunsky filed a report vesterday with the Board of Public Works regarding the extension of Dun- cun street' and San Jose avenue to Tif- fany avenue. Grunsky has made survey's to determine the lands necessary to be acquired and submits a map of the same. He advises a reduction in the width of Duncan avenue from sixty-four feet to sixty-three and seven-tweifths feet, as it would encroach on a building on St. Luke's Hospital lot. The boaru considered a petition for changes of grades in the Byfield tract consisting of lands near the Affiliated Col- leges. Representatives of the Sutro es- tate objected to the changes on Parnas- sus and Fourth avenues, as they would interfere with the approaches to Fourth avenue and K street.

He comes to fight Frank Neil be- fore the Reliance Club of Oakland on Tuesday night. When the little boxer left Chicago he weighed 116 pounds and expects to ex- perience no difficulty in doing the stipu- lated 115 pounds, at which he is to meet Neil. He took all the exercise possible while coming west. His last ring engage- ment was with the elusive Abe Attel, a six-round draw, in Chicago.

Possible Action of the Western Jockey Club Is Discussed. NEW YORK, Dec. 19.—It is reported here that the Western Jockey Club will extend its jurisdiction to California by licensing the Los Angeles track, which is not in favor with the New' California Jockey Club, of which Thomas H. Wil- hams is president. If such action Is taken there will be a turf war of consid- erable proportions. ‘While J. W. Brooks, manager of the Los Angeles Jockey Club, is in this city seeking an amicable settlement of the turf situation the foregoing report would indicate that the Southern Californla man has two irons in the fire. Under existing conditions the jurisdictidn of the Western Jockey Club does not extend west of the Rocky Mountains. If California were to Le included in its domain a special meet- ing would be necessary. Big Ed Corrigan is always fond of throwing rocks at his neighbors’ dogs just to hear them bark, and as his right-hand man, Harry Kuhl, is secretary of the Western Jockey Club he probably would not find it difficult to call a special meeting. ———————— Fancy Boxes Containing Paper.

KING DEFEATS ELLIOTT AFTER A HARD FIGHT Heavyweights Roll Qver Ring and Nearly Create a Rough House. EVEN lively bouts were decided at S night before an immense attandance. The headliner of the evening was a bout | between Martin King, a coal miner from Pennsylvania, and Jack Elliott, a scrap- per who was touted as a regular demon. The man from the coal fields secured the decision on a foul in the fourth round after one of the most sensational fights ever seen at the club. King was the aggressor throughout and ENijott refused to fight fairly. Instead, he hugged his man all the time and the way they rolied over the ring was better than a circus to watch. In their mad career the pair upset water buckets, punched the referee and fell on the spec- tators in the front row. Elliott became grcggy toward the end of the battle and ir the fourth round he fouled King. Referee Alex Greggains then gave the de- cision to the coal miner. Jack Johnson and George Murray met at 150 pounds and put up one of the best all-round goes ever seen in the amateur crena. Johnson was active and showed he had a good stiff punch. He started at Eis man at once and@ Murray fought back all the time. Both men were strong at the finish. The decision was given to Johnson for his aggressive work. B. Herrera, a brother of the Bakers- field lightweight, knocked out Tommy Bull in the third round. The men started in tamely, but warmed up and each landed some good punches. George John- son got the decision over J. Evans in a clever four-round bout, full of hard punching. Joe Reilly knocked out Frank Fletcher in the third, Kid Parker earned the decision over Jim Kane and Ernest Parker outpointed Frank Edwards. New Orleans Race Results.
