THE FSAN FERANUISUU CALL, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 30 1902, $CREST AGAIN FINISHES SECOND BEATEN Ben MMac Dhui a OUT BY DUKE OF YORK Disappointment, Ned Dennis First. Sylvia Talbot Makes a Show of Her Field. — ELIEVERS in the “Indian sign” are beginning to think that the Duke of York II can beat Crest, the crack timber-topper from the Ezell & Lagarus stable. Three times running the Eastern mare has fin- ished second, and on two of these oc- casions she was led out at the finish by Duke of York. In the short course steeple- chase event at Ingleside yesterday Crest carried 1% and Duke of York 155, and the optimistic ones insisted on making Crest favorite at 5 to 2. at 2 and drifted to 21 to 5, until it looked as if one of his legs might be in some bookmaker's box. Tulare was played down to 13 to 5, but did not show to any advantage, it being strictly a battle of the stars. “Hump” Wallace got away first with Duke of York, but for a jump or two was headed by Mike Rice, Dagmar and Tulare. Then he assumed the lead and was joined by Crest. The two leaders gave a pretty exhibition of fencing, to all appearances Crest having the most in reserve. The Duke outjumped the favor- ite over the last field hurdle, and though McAuliffe shook his mount up for all he knew how the Duke drew away, winning by two lengths, Crest making the usual fumble taking the last obstacle on the main track. Bob Cairns finished third on Dagmar, which horse ran a vastly im- proved race. Dan McCarty's colors were carr old Flashiight. The track was heavy in places and nearly -all of the winners were ridden wide through the stretch. St.'Sever ani Ax ce_were the only favorites to pick up anything. The fine weather and good card drew an excellent attendance. Dr. Rowell's St. Sever looked far and away the class of the starters in the opening sprint and 9 to 10 seemed a lib- eral price. The gelding won easily after racin; Donovan on Pat Oran grew weary with making the pace. His first appearance in California, Ben Mac Dhui, the from Tom Ryan’s stable, was first favorite to go down the sliding The Eastern performer went to t 2 3 to 2 chance for the six and a half furiong selling affair, and finished | third.

California Baseball Organi- zation Goes Out of Existence. The California League became an or- ganization of the past last night and a new baseball assoclation, to be known as the Pacific Coast League, was formed. The new league will consist of six clubs from three States, namely, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Oakland and Sacramento from California, Portland from Oregon and Seattle from Washington. The following officers were elected for one year: President, T. J. Moran of Oak- land; vice presidents, E. F. Bert of San Francisco and George Lamping of Seattle; secretary, James Anderson of San Fram- ciseo; treasurer, Theodore Goodman of San Francisco. The San Francisco Club was represent- ed by Henry Harris, Oakland by J. C. Ewing, Los Angeles by James Morley, Sacramento by M. Fisher, Portiand by J. 8. Marshall and Beattle by George Lamp- ing and Scott Calhoun. A controlling committee, consisting of Messrs. Harris, Morley and Marshall, was appointed and a schedule committee consisting of Mar- shall, Ewing, Lamping and Fisher was also named. The season of 1903 will begin on March be played every day in the week, with the exception of Monday, tn all six cities. A forfeit of $5000 must be posted by the manager of each club on or befare Jan- uary 15. iy The playing rules of the American League of 1902 were adopted by the new league for the season of 1%3. The mem- bers of each team must wear white uni- forms when playing on the home grounds. Each manager will be allowed to have as many players as he pleases on his list until May 15, after which the number will be limited to fifteen players for each club. ATl players now on the blacklist of the California and the Pacific Northwest | leagues will be exonerated and are elig- ible to play in the Pacific Coast League. All players must be in either of the three States on or before September 15, otherwise they are not eligible to play ball in the new league. The representa- tives of the new organization will meet again this afternoon to arrange some minor details. St BASEBALL MAGNATES ARE STILL AT WAR Players Are Threatened With Black- list if They Secede to the Pacific Coast League. SPOKANE, Wash., Dec. 20.—Represent- atives of the Pacific Northwest League baseball clubs met here to-day to plan a campaign against the Pacific Coast League. Willlam Goldman, director of the old Portland club, is also here to fight to retain that ecity’'s franchise for him- iself. There appears.to be little hope of | this, however. Nearly every director i present stated to-night that Goldman would not be allowed to retain the fran- chise, as the club had forfeited its rights. All the players of the Portland baseball club who were signed by Manager Vig- neux under the Pacific Northwest League contracts have been warned that if they | secede to the newly organized Pacific Coast League they will be' declared out- laws and put on the blacklist. | SPECIAL HOLIDAY STAKE AT UNION COURSING PARK | Forty-Eight H;;;ldl Are Entered for Big Event on New Year’s Day.

L NEILL, the popular local boxer, and Tom Reilly, who is heralded as “the terror of the Northwest,” will face each other in the ring! at Woodward's Pavilion to-night under the auspices of the Haves Valley Athletic Club. The fighters will meet Iur‘ the middle-weight championship of the | Pacific Coast. Both men are in the pink | of condition and the admirer of the art of self-defense will receive more than his money's worth when the two face each other. The men fight at 154 pounds. The betting last night was even money, | but many seemed to be holding out for{ a better figure. The wagering was light all day, but during the night it took a | turn for the, better and several hundred | dollars were laid at even money. It is probable, however, that Reilly will rule a 10 to 8 favorite when the men enter the ring to-night. There will be two fast preliminaries to ‘the main event. Tommy Cox and Frank McConnell will meet at 122 pounds and a whirlwind fight is expected. Jimmy Quinn, a fast young lightweight, is billed to meet George Fuller. Both are clever bexers.

Six Rounds Serve to Put Brooklyn Man Much to the Bad. CHICAGO, Dec. 20.—George Gardner of Lowell, Mass., the light heavyweight champion, won a decision over Kid Car- ter of Brocklyn in a six-round contest here to-night. The fight was rough and fierce from beginning to end, with Gardner hav- ing the advantage of each round. Carter was very groggy during the last round, but by resorting to clinches at every op- portunity succeeded in escaping a knock- out. ‘When time was called for the first round both men sprang for the center of the ring and a flerce exchange of swings fol- lowed. Toward the end of the round Gard- ner cut a deep gash over Carter’s right eye. This bothered Carter considerably during the remainder of the fight. In the second round Gardner cut another gash over Carter’s left eye and the latter was covered with blood when he took his ccrner. Carter sent in some vicious right punches to Gardner’s stomach in the third round, but the lajter more than evened matters near the tnd of the round with half a dozén upper cuts, which sent Car- ter to his corner staggering. During the fourth round the men fought at close quarters and both received seyere punish- ment, although Carter appeared to suffer the most. Gardner was bleeding from a cut over the right eye at the end of the round. After several exchanges in the fifth round with matters about even, | Gardner on a breakaway crossed his right to Carter’s jaw. The blow sent Carter staggering to his corner. He staggered to his feet and the bell saved him from | further punishment. Carter made little | effort to fight during the last round, tak- ing advantage of every clinch to hang on to Gardner until the referee separated them. Both men were covered with blood at the end of the contest. Sheriff Barrett, who had orders from the Governor’s office at Springfield to stop the fight if it became brutal, was at the ringside, but apparently saw nothing to call for interference. Recorders Hold Conference. Recorders from six counties met in Recorder Godchaux's office yesterday af- ternoon for the purpose of considering methods for the betterment of the ser- vice in Recorder’s offices. The Recorders who were present were: H. A. Grim of | Alumeda, T. V. Corcoran of Vallejo, J. F. Johnson of San Mateo, A. H. Dunkel of | Contra Costa, T. W. Traynor of Santa Clara and Edmund Godchaux of San Francisco.
