The exception should be only in high class selling affairs. Little Anderson rides a fair race over a distance for a beginner. He piloted Silver Fizz in the last event, which mare was played from 12 down to 4. The pace was slow enough to give one of Superintendent Bill Fieldwick’s har- row horses an outside chance. | | ins will stop | | | eleven | tators did FOOTBALL MEN IN CONDITION Both the Redskins and the Re- liance Al-California Team Will Play a Great Gnmel el The strenuous redskins of the Carlisle | and the Californian gridiron who are to meet them in the Christmas day were all out | for a good, hard practice yester- | day afternoon on the Richmond field.

For straightaway machine football the copper-hued boys of Car- | lisle are about as near perfect as they make them. Coach Warner says this team is_superior to the oné he brought to the coast four years ago. ESKIMO EXCITES CURIOSITY. Nikofer Shouchuk, Carlisle’s Eskimo center, was of particular interest to the spectators yesterday—mostly because he is the only member of his race on a | football team. He laughs all the time, | as if the whole world were one big joke. He is a solid little fellow, how- ever, and plays the game as if he had inherited a talent for it. Hauvermann afternoon. Charles Dillon, left guard, was also closely inspected by those who watched the practice. He is the tricky lad who hid the pigskin under his sweater in| the game with Harvard and ambled 100 yards down the field for a touch- down. It was related yesterday that the eleven with the crimson hosiery was asking for a microscope to find the ball while Dillon was accumulating that five points. Carlisle has had a successful season. She suffered defeat at the hands of Princeton and of Harvard, and was tied by Virginia. She won from Buck- | nell, University of Pennsylvania,| Georgtown, Swarthmore, Northwest- ern, Gettysburg, Lebanon Valley, Dick- enson, Susquehanna, Franklin and Marshell and Salt Lake.

There are entirely too many of these affairs going on in Oakland. One a week or thereabouts is simply creating a Mecca for the bruisers in this city, and that is a very undesirable situa- | | | | tion. The Mayor thus expressed himself concerning the strongly current rumors at the City Hall that soon after the holidays the boxing contest ordinance will be repealed. While Mayor Olney says he has received no intimation as to the City Counc possible attitude | toward the recently enacted law, there is n6 doubt that ressure is being brought to bear at the City Hall to duce early repeal of the law. Whence the influence is being exerted has not definite ppeared. W. B. Fawcett, the Mayor's secretary, said this afternoon: “It looks very much as if the boxing ordinance will be repealed and, in fact, I expect to see the Council take that action after the holidays. It does not appear where the attack on the ordi- nance is coming from, but there is an oppoesition being manifested.” Behind the stir that been made is n a story that the city officials would have been content to allow the two Oakland clubs, the Reliance and the | West Oakland organizations, to con- tinue their monthly exhibitions without disturbance. The Reliance Club con- fined itself to a main event of fifteen rounds by professionals and a couple of four or six round curtain raisers. At the West Oakland Club the pro- grammes have Included four, five or six | four-round contests between amateurs. | Each club has a large following and almost without exception the monthly ’afl'alrs have been more than satisfac- tory to those who enjoyed this form of sport. But into the fighting game came the | Sequoia Club, an organization which | has had much difficulty in establishing | its status as a genuine domestic, incor- porated athletic club, as contemplated under the ordinance. The Sequoia Club first appeared last March before the | contests were stopped and gave an al- leged fight at Dietz’s Opera-house that | did not prove to be satisfactory. After | the ordinance was signed, the club was | granted a permit in October, but one ‘of the principals failed to show and ‘aguln the club was in bad odor. Then | of pugilists, showed as matchmaker for |the club and he handled the Woods- Reilly fight last week. It is the Sequoia Club that is the | doubt in the minds of some city of- Arrangements are | ficials that the organization meets the | requirements of the ordinance. It has Dietz’s Hall as its club rooms. The police have kept a watch on the hall to discover whether it was in ac- tual service as a club room, and reports TRIEST0 STOP | sible THE FIELD RACING OPENS AT ASCOT PARK Los Angeles Track Pronounced in Execellent Condition for the Ninety Days’ Season e | MANY HORSES IN TRAINING | FSnlseaited | All the Big Stables Now on the Coast Will Send Repre- | sentatives to the Post | o | LOS ANGELES, Dec. 23.—Ascot Park, the new and splendidly equipped | racetrack, will open to-morrow for a ninety days’ seasomr of racing. There are stabled at Ascot Park between 600 |and 700 horses, including representa- tives from all the big stables now on the Pacific Coast and comprising some of the best horses in the country. The | track is considered one of the best, it not quite the best, west of New York. | All the buildings, including grand stand, stables and other appointments, are in keeping with the egcellence of the track itself. The officials who will serve during the winter season are all experienced and well-known racing men. Colonel A. W. Hamilton of Mount Sterling, Ky., who has for several years offi- ciated as presiding judge at Harlem and Hawthorne tracks, Chicago, will lact in the same capacity at Ascot. His assoclate will be Ed Cole, the well- known sporting writer of New York. | Ed Jasper, secretary of Worth track, Chicago, will be secretary and handi- )capper. The starters will be Richard ‘ Dwyer and Jake Holtmdn, who will al- ternate between Ascot and the San Francisco tracks. The opening programme comprises six races, the feature of which will be the Mount Lowe handicap, a sweep- stakes for two-year-olds and upward, with $1000 added money. The distance six furlongs and the probable start- with weights and jockeys, are as is ers follows: 107 (Miles); Golden Rule, 112 (J. Reiff) 107 (L.

The proposed boxing bout between Harry Foley and Jim Scanlan, which was to have taken place before the Re- liance Club on January 5, has been de- clared off. Foley wants Scanlan to scale 165 pounds. The latter claims the best he can do Is 170 pounds. It is pos- Scanlan and Joe Millet, who is coming to the front rapidly, may meet before the Colma Club. L3 —b have been filed at headquarters that it has not been in use to any visible ex- tent. Before the last permit was granted to | the Sequoia Club its representatives appeared before the Police Commission- ers and declared that it was a bona fide athletic club. It was explained | that Bishop was acting as the club's matchmaker. Yet Bishop appeared the night of the last fight as Woods' man- ager and chief second. Mayor Olney’s opposition to the « | tinuance of the contests is based { tirely on his unwillingness to allow such frequent affairs as the three clubs can give. He considers that the West Oak- land Club, beyond question a legitimate athletic organization, and the Rellance Athletic Club were sufficient. But he to disctiminate against any applicant and therefore his Honor has taken the flat stand against the continuance | the sport. HAVANA ADVERTISEMENT:! oy CIGARS
