BOYLE WINS HANDICAP R. BOYLE is a full-fledged member of the handicap bri- gade and has, among others, the scalps of the mighty Ken- flworth and Princess Titanla dangling from his belt. James Nealon's fast sprinter shouldered 112 pounds in the six and a half furlong handicap at Oakland track yesterday, be- haved ungentlemanly at the post and, after being almost left, ran around his fleld, winning easily in 1:21. Kenilworth was assigned top weight, 128 pounds, but lack of condition prevent- ed the brown fellow from taking much part in the exercises and he ultimately finished last. Dr. Boyle had first call in the betting, with Princess Titania next in demand at 2 to 1. At the post the Nealon entry appeared to have entirely forgotten his barrier manners, and when Jake Holtman sprung the webbing re- fused to break‘'away with the other four starters and the money wagered on him began to smoke. DR. BOYLE'S GREAT RACE. On second thought the Doctor changed his mind, and the manner In which he lessened the intervening lengths of day- light separating him from the field was a pleasure to witness. Bonner, on Prin- cess Titania, was cutting out the pace and his chances looked rosy. Gradually, though, “‘Handriding” Kelly closed on her with the favorite untll when the head of the stretch was reached the favorite was at the mare’s heels and only gallop- ing. A furiong from home the Princess was brought to a drive, and the Doctor, with considerable in reserve, won by one length and a half. Annie Max finished third, a neck before Mocorito. Timed sep~ arately the winner covered the distance in 1:20 2-5, the last three-quarters in 1:13, and the performance stamps him as a sprinter above the average. Little fault could be found with the be- havior of the short-priced horses, four favorites making connection with the long end of the purses at the wire. No long-priced ones were out on parade. DOLLY WEITHOFF A WINNER. A lukewarm 13 to 5 choice, it was just like breaking eggshells with a baseball bat for Dollie Weithoff to win the six- furlong event which opened the racing. J. T. Sheehan had the mount on the mare, and, after Amasa had tired, the | favorite picked up the running and beat Amasa show. The Miller without trouble. stayed long enough to get the Milas appears to be of no account. Garnet Ferguson's 8t. George Jr., pi- loted by “Monk’” Sheehan, and equal fa- vorite for the two-year-old dash with Rose Farr, was returred the winner. Kelly rode the last-named filly, and as his saddle slipped she was never a con- tender. St. George Jr. and Ravelena fought it out from the start, Sheehan outridirg Bonner and earning the decision by half a length. Whoa Bill swerved at the start, losing much ground, or he would have scored. With Bell Reed, Clivoso and Lizzle Rice Wiilie Sink’s filly St. Wini- fride was instailed favorite for the Futu- rity course sprint. Although carrying Bonner and but 100 pounds, she was out- footed early in the game and did not show. Lilburn, piloted by Powell and well played at fours, took the lead in the | stretch, scoring cleverly from J. H. Ben- nett, a 2% to 1 shot. Meeting an inferlor cluster of platers in the mile and a sixteenth selling aftair, Miracle I, a 5 to 1 choice, landed the merchandise. “Big Bill” Knapp was the pliot and in a long drive downed Rim Rock a neck. Hutch Miller, at 30 to 1, ran into the show. How Frawley managed to get Illowaho beaten for the concluding mile number in 1:42% is almost unfathomable, still he did. Astride plainly the best horse and a 9 to 5§ favorite, Frawley fiddled around with his mount in an endeavor to get through on the inside, but Keily on The Pride left no space. In the interim Powell moved up with Virgle d’'Or, and when Frawley eventually extricated himself from the predicament he got into Virgle d'Or was a l:ngl!ll past the wire. The winner closed at4tol NOTES OF THE TRACK. This is Fablola day at Oakland track. As the entire gate receipts are donated to the Fabiola Hospital fund by the new California Jockey Club, complimentary tickets will not be honored at the gate. A handicap with an ex- cellent field of starters and a race for gentle- men riders are the special features. o claims were put In for St. Winitride after the third race. George Snider, one of the owners of Priestlike, secured the filly for 725. Later Willle Sink' got his sprinter back at a slight advance. - J.

BALLETRO WINS AN EASY BOUT WITH MUNROE Brother of Man Who Won From Goes Out in Second Round e s “Billy” Mc¢Donald Defeats Duffy in One Round With a Stiff Punch on Point of the Jaw over Champion Jim Jeffries, mads an attempt to follow in the foot- prints of his relative at the San Fran- cisco Athletic Club last night. Instead of becoming great in one night he hit the floor for the count in the second round and failed to come back. His op- ponent, Louls Balletro, was always con- sidered something of an easy mark, but he showed he had the man from Mon- tana beaten sixteen ways in the fighting IG Tom Munroe, brother of the man who is credited with a decision timid and afraid to mix | it, so the first round was a tame affair. In the second Balletro used a few feints on his man and fooled him badly. Mun- roe looked as though he wanted to quit and In a few mixups he received a couple of light punches that took all the fight out of him. Finally he went down and stayed there from choice, thoroughly dis- gusted with the manly art Al Smith and Lee Gray furnished about the funniest plece of fighting that wi ever handed out in this town. They are both big fellows and they did every imaginable kind of a ran fiip-flop around the ring, while the spectators be- came hysterical and yelled for some mors fighting like that. When the four rounds had been fought the referee gave thw fight to Gray on general principles. Jack Bolan and Alexander Lowe wers nearly as funny and a little larger than their predecessors. They did a few con- tortionist stunts till Bolan got ready to go out in the second round. Billy M. Donald was too great for Billv Duffy of Boston and one stiff punch in the first round heid the latter for a while. Dick Highland and Jack Moriarty put | up the best fight of the evening. They went at it flercely and in the second round Highland landed a right flush on his man’s jaw and put him ouflifor keep: Al Smith, an old_bald-heade® specim of other days, essayed to go Up again Jack Fury. The latter was as terribl as his name implies and the assistance of the police was needed in the firs” round. Dave Campbell won a hard-fought battle over Ed Smith in four rounds, both” boys showing wonderful gameness.
