Apparently the big bettors are still out on their ranches, but the field book was at- tacked from all sides and riddled by the dollar bettors, quitting losers. There were ten starters for the Jona- than Club stake at five and a half fur- longs, worth $630 to the winner. Dr. Row- ell and Fox Lake stood out in bald relief, s0 the syndicators took the ram by the horns and laid 6 to 5 on the Doctor, who was coupled with his stable mate, May Bowdish, and even money on the Chi- cago colt, who was coupled in the betting with Sol Smith. Later on 8 to 5 was lald about the latter pair. Duke sent the bunch away nicely, and almost from the start the two favorites showed in front. It resolved itself down | to a long drive, Frawley, astride Dr.| Rowell, earning the decision over Ira | Powell, on Fox Lake, by the shortest of | noses. Potrero Grande, a brother to La Goleta, had shown well in his work, but ran disappointingly. Miss May Bowdish ran third. Big Bill Knapp, who is here with the Curl stable, made his first appearance at | the meeting on Sol Smith. Respirator, | which was on Saturday played down to win a race from 25 to 6, took the scramble | from an uncanny assortment. Ridden by | Pico and 4% to 1, the gelding easlly dis- | posed of Cherries and Billy Moor Lee Jackson rode the favorite, Loyal S., and | gathered nothing. i Willie See finally put one over in the six furlongs run, following. He handled | the 4 to 1 chance, Marelio, with good judgment, beating out the 8 to 5 favorite, The Mill by a neck. As everything in the race was 4 or 5 to 1, it was difficult to single out a second or third choice i ven money and take your pick, Searcher or Cambaceres, 5 to 1 Homage and 6 to 1 Invictus, the ticket showed on the four starters in the mile and a six- teenth selection. Searcher wa trung up to do all sorts of things, but Powell on Cambaceres led the good thing a dog's life from the jump, winning under half ! pressure in 1:48. Homage showed. Unquestionably the pyrotechnical win of the fifth stanza, a 5% scramble, by Estado was one of the features. The gelding was stanchly supported at 5 to 2, and beat the other starters away. The farther they went the more daylight showed be- tween Estado and his companions, until he finally won by six telegraph poles. Be- | hind him, ridden to his utmost capacity, | all sails set, Ike Tullett, with his hand on the throttle and peeking out of the cab window, Botany, the 6 to § favorite, fin- ished second, and Bicycle, on whom Kunz pedaled hard with a punctured tire, grabbed show honors. i To Gralil, racing in the colors of the| dapper little bookie, John Mellin, fell the last purse. The route, seven furlongs, | just suited the mare, and after a mild drive, she downed Dollie Weithoff, the pacemaker, with something to spare. ! Tizona was a starter, but his form would | indicate that he is not up to much. F. E. MULHOLLAND. LOS ANGELES, O« )2.—“‘enther fine, | track fast.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 12—Dr. W. P. Thurkfield, secretary of the Methodist Freedmen and Southern Educational So- clety, to-day in delivering the opening ad- dress of the Evangelical Society, charged that the outrages by negroes in the South Wwere due t6 the chailn gang prison system. He said in part: 5 ) Under this system both prison and prison- ers are farmed out under the control of pri- Yate corporations—sold to the highest biddes To the lessees the body and soul of victs are assigned. The motive of both State and lessee is not moral, but money; not re- formation, but exploitation of criminals for Ehuc. the ‘brawn and blood of eminals bar- 3 rawn an o na tered for gain. Criminals are generally scattered in branch prisons—quartered in rude stockades without proper sanitation, food or clothing. The aver- age life of these convicts is less than ten haine not separaf ened criminals and the boy convicl first crime; the comparatively good, the most depraved, vile and abandoned are chalned together.

Berkeley Office San Francisco Call, 2148 Center Street, Oct. 12. Professor George C. Edwards, chair- man of the athletic committee at the University of California, passed upon the names to-day of those students eligible to play Stanford in the intercollegiate football contest. The football managers presented him with seventy-five hames, but Professor Edwards cut this number to sixty in order to come within the rules. The list contains the following named players: # L. H. Allen, T. E, Ambrose, J. A. Belknap, D. P. Boothe, P. Bowles, W. H. Boynton, C. F. Burke, W. E. Burns, F. E. Clark, F. W. Bush, G. H. Clary, R. A. Cralg, A. J. Coogan, R. B. Demeritt, R. H. J. A.

Seabury William Sell, O. F. Stern, N. C. Stines, M. Stow, B. K. Stroud. G. M. Taylor, J. K. Tweedy and J. C. Whipple. This list will be submitted to Stanford before Saturday as required by agree- ment. It is rumored on the California campus that Stanford will protest at least three men—Captain Overall, Heitmuller @nd Forse, all of whom are accused of playing professional baseball. But as each of these men denies having played pro- fessional baseball, and the protest is so far only a myth, there is nothing to do but wait until Stanford peruses the list and does something. The training table for the varsity team was established to-day at the Dining As- sociation. The following fifteen men were selected by Coach Whipple for the first assignment to the table: Captain Overall, Stroud, Stow, Howard, Heitmuller, Hudson, Demeritt, Whipple, Mini, More, Risley, Muther, Belknap and Forse. This number will be increased as the season | grows older. California and Stanford will not trade campuses this week as intended. Reliance and California will meet Wednesday on the Berkeley campus instead of at Stan- ford and the Fort Baker soldiers and Stanford will play at Stanford instead of at Berkelev. The freshmen will play against Belmont to-morrow afternoon on the Berkeley campus,. As Belmont always gathers a good team together the contest is likely to be the most stubborn of the season. —_—————————— ORINDA GIRLS ENTERTAIN ’ BOYS OF RINCON PARLOR They Show Apprecifion of Courte- sies Extended on Admission Day in San Jose.

BANK EMBEZZLEMENT CASE MAY FALL TO THE GROUND Federal Court Rules Adversely to Indictment Filed Against a Former Judge. LEAVENWORTH, Kans.,, Oct. 12.— Judge John F. Phillips in the TUnited States Circuit Court here to-day rendered a decision holding in effect that none of the nineteen counts in the first indict- ment against former Judge Willlam Mar- tindale, who was indicted by the Federal Grand Jury on the alleged charge of mis- appropriating the funds of the defunct First National Bank of Emporia, are good. There is still another indictment against Martindale in connection with the handling of funds in several small bank feeders to the First National Bank of Emporia. The indictments against Judge Martin- dale, who was vice president of the con- cern, grew out of the failure of the First National Bank in 1898, when President Charles Cross, a noted cattle breeder, committed suicide after an investigation that disclosed the fact that he had lost the bank’s money in speculation.

Sale of Seats for Contest Will Open To-Day at Corbett’s. is one of Charley Seiger's worst fallings. The Italian lightweight | who is to battle twenty rounds with Jimmy Britt next Friday night does very little talking about himself. He allows his manager, Billy Roach, to handle that part of the fighting game. As for himseif, he is there to wield his “mitts” and he certainly knows how to do this to per- fection. Seiger is almost down to weight. After eating a hearty lunch yesterday he discarded his wearing apparel and stepped on to the seales to satis’y the sporting writers. The beam registered 13 pounds. A smile of huge proportions crossed the Modesty Weather-beaten face of Roach and he jubilantly said: “Well, I guess he'll be down to weight all right, all right.” Seiger has until Friday night to make 133 pounds. He will certainly do this easily. He says he will have no trouble doing so and wants his admirers to believe him when he says he will not be weakened. He is a strong fellow. His muscular de- velopment is much better than Britt's and his determination to win is equal to the local fighter’s. There was a big crowd at Seiger’s train- ing quarters_at the ocean beach yester- day. Seiger boxed for the last time while in training. His manager will not take any chances of Seiger injuring his hands. He will keep him on the road and in the gymnasium for the next three days. | Seiger boxed with ong of his sparring partners yesterday. He went two rounds before a big crowd and when time was called he did not take a long breath. He is in superb condition. He says that had he been in as good shape when he met Gans he would have beaten the negro champion. Alec Greggains, manager of the San Francisco Athletic Club, was over to see | Britt and reports that clever youth to be in superb shape. Eddie Graney has been selected to referee the contest. The bet- | ting at the present time is 10 to 8, with Britt favorite. The sale of seats will open at Harry Corbett’s this morning. The attendance will be very large, judging by the interest taken in the fight.
