DAYTON, Ohio, Dec. 8.—A decision of importance to bowlers and bowling clubs intending to participate in the national championship contest of the American Bowling Congress at Cleve- land February 8 to 13, has been ren- dered by the executive committee. Un- der the Indianapolis plan of organiza- tion it was supposed ‘that all entries would have to be affiliated with one of rep the local city associations. This, how- ever, is not the case.

Brattain repeated his victory of December 5 in the fifth eve but, unfortunately for his backers, he was later disqualified and the race given to Martinmas. The gray gelding had Chandler in | the saddle and went to the post an even money favorite. Martinmas received steady support at 212 and 3. At the start the first choice went to the front and when the stretch was d much like a winner. position and Otis was third on the rail with Martinmas, the chance came and Martinmas closed on the gray. This sent Chandler to the “bat” ard in using his whip he per- mitted his mount to swerve in, not only crowding Otis but leg locking him as well. The favorite succeeded in win- ning by a neck, but ¢n Otis claiming a foul it was allowed. This decision gave the place to Colonel Van and the show to Escalante, JEXCITING SPORT IS SHOWN. The card was an improvement over that of the day before and some really excellent sport witnessed by a large crowd. Favorites held their own, winning three of the purses. In defeating Dupont in the clesing number Walter Jennings' Arabo, equaled the coast record of 1:44 for a | vards. It was the h of the day, Arabo, an even nibney chance, only scoring by a rose, after cutting out all the run- ning. Adams had the mount on Dupont, and while meeting with some ill-luck at the start, rode a first-rate race. brought the big gelding from in the stretch with a tremendous rush, and was just. beaten. to get the show from the poorly rid- den Byron Rose. There was some 20 to 1 laid against Yellowston in the betting on the open- ing Futurity course sprint, and the outsider, with J. T. Sheehan in the sad- dle, dovned Little Margaret a head. Handpress, the favorite, got away so badly that he had no chance. F. 1. SHAW AN E WINNER. Backed from 11 money, F. E. Shaw was returned an easy winner of the two-year-old scram- ble. Mike Daly's Judge cut out the pace, but at the finish was led over the line four lengths by Shaw, with Foley up. Silent Water Ringlets for the chow. The Fog, also piloted by Foley, fol- lowed this up by running away from company in the Futurity course sclling affair, starting a 7 to 5 favorite. Sallie Goodwin, a 20 to 1 shot, ran sec- mile arnd seventy ond, less than a length ahead of Moun- tebank. Orosius started but showed lit- tle speed. There was no pronounced favorite for the mile and a furlong selling event,’ Chub, El Oriente, Dr. Bernays and Ex- pedient all receiving more or less sup- port. the lead and at a trifle shorter route the Spiers entrv could have won.

Jockey John Bullman is here after a successful season on the New York tracks. two before accepting any mounts. Bullman says J. Rarfsch will be here this week, on his way to Bakersfield, where his parents reside. If he can be persuaded to tdke mounts, Jay, who led all the riders in France last season, would be cuite an addition to the jockey ranks. A report was circulated about the track vesterday ‘that D. Hall, one of the ruled off riders, had admitted his guilt to the stewards. The story was absolutely without foundation. Yellowstone has always been con- | sidefed an in and outer for some rea- son, but it must be admitted his per- formance yesterday was a startling improvement,over the horse's race on November 28.; On that occasion the chestnut horse’ was a favorite. F. E. Shaw is a useful two-year-old to be kicked about in selling races. Three BEastern pickpockets have been putting in their time to advant- age, operating in the evening among the returning race track crowd at the foot of Market street. Will they be caught? Answer: No, they will not be caught. Sallie Goodwin ran in a race on De- | cember 4 with Carson up. It must have been quite a relief to the mare | to have had Knapp up yesterday. ENTRIES FOR TO-DAY.

NEW YORK, Dec. 8.—Regarding their business to be quite as legitimate as that of the bookmakers, the pool- room proprietors of this city have formed a club to emulate the Metro- politan Turf Assoclatlon, popularly khown as the “Bookmakers' Club.” No attention will be given the social side of clubdom, however, as the or- ganization’s purposé will be strictly business. The number of rooms in the city and their location are to be regulated. A'fund wilh be created for protection against raids and wire tap- ping. Arrangements will be made, if possible, whereby the club will take charge of the telegraphic service of its members and handle the money paid out for it. An attempt will be ‘made to persuade the telegraph com- pany against furnishing race returns to rooms not vouched for by the club. One matter the new organization | has alread: settled.

Inflicts the Injury Twice Within the Last Four Mont —_— Continues the Unequal Contest for Five Rounds, the Ref- eree Finally Stopping It o Toby Irwin has fought his last figsht. last night in his boxing bout with Billy actly as the identical injury was in- flicted four months ago in the same ring by Otts. Game to the core, Irwin | went five roufds after the fracture oc- curred in the second round, and wds up for the eighth round, but Referez Eddie Smith with _cocl judgment and good decision stoppéd the fight at that point, caming Otts the winner. To the credit of the victor be it said he keenly felt his position, and during the last round of the fight begged Toby to quit, as the North Beach box- er's condition was evident to Otts. Young Corbett, who was a spectator, went into Ott's cerner in the seventh after nu\iulng that Irwin was in troubie and helped end the unequal contest. After announcing his decision, Ref- eree Smith said: “Irwin’s jaw has been broken and he does not and can- not go on with the fight. I have stopped the contest because of Irwin's condi- tion. It is not in line with good sport that a man thus injured should be per- itted to ~ontinue.” IRWIN IS URGED ON. Irwin's handlers were bent on forcing him to star in the fight. Even after the seventh round closed he was almost hauled into the center of the ring, al- though his injury was then manifestly causing him much suffering. Referee Smith was ready as soon as the gong sounded and after a word or two with Irwin the referee ended the contest and sent the men out of the ring. Otts left his corner crying like a child, for, as he said afterward. he did not want to be put in the position of fighting an ‘n- jured man. Irwin was taken to his dressing room. where Dr. George Reiule, the Reliance Club physician, and Dr. Clarence Tii man of San Francisco examined and dressed the fractured jaw. Thz break was en the right side either a little above or a littie below the point where the fracture occurred last August. After he had been bandaged Irwin with his friends departed for San Franeisco. Whether Irwin cou'd have won to- night is pureiy speculative! He was a 7 to 10 favcrite, but under the condi- tions no fair line could be drawn on the fight. SEVEN FAST ROUND! Irwin was ready to fight and made a good showing as far as he went. He used his left steadily., but did not force the fighting. Toby is not an of- fensive fignter. His strong suit is to put in his dextrous left when his. man comes to him, and he kept to that method last night. For all of his broken jaw there were seven rounds of stiff going. Otts stayed with his right and used it to good advantage in straight | leads for the head. In view, however, of the result, it is practically settled that the foilowers of the game will never see these men come together again. Irwin cannot expect to continue in the fighting business. “Spider” Kelly, Eddie Hanlon, Harry Foley and Frank Rafael were behind Irwin. The “Spider” was overanxious to force his man to keep going. The lanky trainer was on his feet two- thirds of the time during the fighting and in the rests kept urging Toby to stay just another round. “You've got him, Toby, if you'll only go in,” said the “Spider,"” and Toby gamely went in. It was only a question after that second round when he must quit. Behind Otts were Tim McGrath, Young McDonald and Nobby Otts, with Young Corbett later. OTTS IS KNOCKED DOWN. Toby did not show signs of injury or weariness in the second round, but in the third, after Otts had done some heavy right-hand work on Irwin's jaw, the North Beach lad went to his corner a bit shaky. The round was a hot one, with Otts on the long end. Once Otts went to the floor, but at the close had Toby tired. In the fourth Otts landed several stiff rights on the jaw, but Toby caught his man a terrific left to the stomach that bothered Otts. In the fifth the fignting was strong, with Toby @ bit the better in a stiff rally. In the next round ‘the two made a hot ex- change, Ott using his good right and Toby putting in the lefts. Otts led of- tener and was the more aggressive throughout. The seventh opened with Toby apparently strong. He ju¥mped in with five punches before Otts started, but the men exchanged rights and lefts to the head that did not help Irwin's case. That was the end of it. Young McConnell of the Reliance Club polished off Henry Lewis, the col- ored ringster, with a knockouyt blow on the jaw in the third round of a sched- ulgd six-round event. Jack Evans knocked out Jack.Egan in the second round. —_———— Whitney's English Stable Sold. NEWMARKET, England, Dec. 8.— There was a good attendance here to- day at the sale of William C.

The streets soon filled with men armed with shotguns and & re- quest was made for a company of mili- tia from Norfolk, but the riot was sup- | pressed without the use of force. Coun- 9 ty Clerk Martin was assaulted {in the Berkeley police station while sitting at a table with a negro Councilman. He was | roughly handled, and County Treasurer Lyons was knocked down the stairs of the Martin building, in which the al | leged registering of negroes was taking | place. | The mob was composed of about | men, all- white and nearly all armed, | shotguns and repeating rifles being plentitul, while revelvers and eciubs were also in evidence. Several shots were fired in the street, but no one was hurt. | The riot was caused by | cal feeling, which Ims existed between | the straight Democratic element in | Norfolk County and the fusion element | controlled by Martin. It is charged by | the Democrats that the county officials represented in the office of the Im- provement Board had assembled there to collect the poll tax from negroes surfptitiously and that on the other | hand obstacles are placed in the way of white Democrats qualifying to vote. In the crowd was C. W. Rockefeller, a cousin of the Standard Oil magnate, and Rev. Herbert Scholgoz, a Christian minister. —_——————— Forbes and Attell Matched.
