Gelden Rule and Rag Tag were the strongly played herses to win the race, which was the chief attraction of the card, with The Goldfinder and Cruzados the horses fancied by the small bettors. Golden Rule looked to be winning a sixteenth from the finish, but Greenock came with a rush and won by a neck. It was a bad day for favorites, caly two of them getting first money, and the public was hard hit. The form players started out by playing Hilde- brand’s mount in the first race, mak- ing MacGyle favorite. He was not in the running, and Iras won, Louwelsea being second and Major Dixon third. Martin showed sudden improvement and won the second race frcm Eva D. Educate was third. Annie Robinson, the 7 to 10 favorite, was beaten off. Banquero, the favorite, won the fourth race easily. Neko was second and Madame Bishop third. The *fifth went to Silver Fizz, the fa- vorite. Erne was second and Major Hocker third. Canejo finished second, but was disqualified for fouling Erne and placed last. The last race furnished another sur- prise, Cazador, at 10 to 1, winning from Legal Maxim, the favorite, with Sherry third.

The ancient gladiator of the roped arena dragged himself around the ring in a painful manner for three rounds. Then the youngster executed a few good stiff punches and the old fellow went to the carpet for keeps. His name is George McCarthy, and he came all the way from Woodland to engage in the conflict. He was under the wing of that good Samaritan, “Bid- dy" Bishop, and “Biddy" quietly tipped it about that Mac could do very well with his mitts and was a game one. He was pitted against Olin Sullivan, a youth who gained fame on the flat by beating up a stevedore once or twice. Sullivan was good to his fatherly op- ponent+for two rounds and all the pair did was to hug each other and occa- sionally hand Referee Greggains a gen- tle clout. But Sullivan opened up the third round with a rush and kept rush- ing dad about the ring till he finally settled in an easy corner and said good night. “Shy” Ryan and Fred Craig, a dusky scrapper, were the next in importance to the heavys. “Shy” won the decision because he was exceedingly wise and landed most of the few punches. He showed that he is possessed of some cléverness, but had a wholesome fear of Mr. Craig's wallop. Both men were tired when the gong sounded. Mike Synfy, the Grecian athlete, mixed it with “Kid" Parker, champion of the newsboys’ brigade. The lads put up the fastest mill on the card. In fact so close was the fight all the way through that the judges disagreed and Referee Greggains finally ordered an extra round. Synfy was handed the palm of victory after the additional round had been fought. He landed the cleaner punches in that perfod and had Parker all but gone. Parker rallied some toward the end of the round and had Synfy go-| ing. All the way through the first four rounds the boys mixed it viciously and it looked like any one's fight. Both were game and took a hard beating, besides displaying much cleverness in ducking swings. Young McClure hit Billy Jensen so hard in the first round that he was doubled up and remained in this uniqus position for fully a minute. Harry McLoud brought his right in contact with George Henry's face in the third and the latter had to go to the carpet for good, after being downed at least a dozen times. Charles McChesney knocked out Charles Webber in three rounds. e it L Mellody Defeats Seiloff.

Driscoll and Brilliant Playing by Driscoll Moves Crowd. DEL MONTE, Feb. 19.—The poloists of the Burlingame Country Club scored a brilliant victory over the English players this afternoon in the deciding tournament game for the set of four artistic cups. The honors for the day P A Walter S. Hobart of the winning team with Captain Neil Haig of the losers. The score stood seven goals to two in favor of the Whites at the beginning of the last period of play. Tom Driscoll scored immediately after the ball was tossed in. The Reds then ran up a se- quence of four goals, but their effort came too late, as the bell sounded the end of-the game with the score eight goals to six. The teams were made up of the following players: Whites—C. Garland, T. A. Driscoll, ‘W. S. Hobart, John Lawson. Reds—B. Williams, W. McCreery, R. Chaplin, Captain Neil Haig, Referee, F. J. Mackey; umpire, E. Ezra; timekeeper, J. O. Tobin. Walter Hobart and Tom Driscoll each *scored four goals, Captain Haig three, ‘Walter McCreery two and Basil Wil- liams one. Tom Driscoll electrified the spectators by picking the ball out of a scrimmage a few moments after play commenced, and with three strokes he scored the first goal. The Reds nearly scored shortly after. the pericd Tom Driscoll scored again. HOBART'S LONG DRIVE. The Reds made a determined stand in the second period and for a time seemed to have the better of their op- ponents. It was not for long, however, as the Whites soon regained possession of the ball. Walter Hobart ran it down the fleld and placed it for Garland, who nearly scored. John Lawson was play- ing a brilliant game and was loudly applauded for a stroke from the side line in which the ball went just outside the posts. Walter Hobart made up for this lost opportunity just before the end of the period by scoring from the seventy-five yard line. He added another point to the score of the Whites in the third period, send- ing the ball between the posts at an awkward angle. When the bail was first tossed in for this period Tom Dris- coll picked it out of the scrimmage and ran it down the field, placing it for ‘Walter Hobart, who just missed scor- ing. Captain Haig, the big, bluff Eng- lishman, who is so great a favorite with the spectators, nearly scored from* the seventy-five yard line. The play all through this period was fast. Captain Haig scored the first goal for the Reds early in the fourth period on a free stroke after a foul. Walter Mc- Creary scored a second goal almost im- mediately on another free hit, this time after the ball had been driven out of the bounds on a safety hit. . Tof Driscoll, on his big white-faced pony Jim Jeffries, drew a round of ap- plause from his adherents early in the fifth pericd. He picked the ball up near the middle of the field and with the other players strung out behind him like the tail of a comet ran it to the goal in three strokes. He was in an awkward position for the de- cisive stroke, but as he galloped past he sent the ball squarely between the posts. Soon after he placed the ball for Walter Hobart, who sccred on an easy shot, HAIG PLAYS WELL. Captain Haig proved a host in him- self in the last period and turned the tide of battle decidedly in favor of the Reds. BExcitement was intense as point by point the Reds drew up on their opponents. ‘When the bell finally sounded they were but two short of the number required to make the score a tie. The score in favor of Captain Drigcoll's teat was 8 to 6. After the match a practice game Was played. The teams were: Reds—Paul Clagstone, R. M. Tobin, Charles Raoul Duval and Lawrence McCreery. ‘Whites—Peter D. Martin, F. Mackey, F. J. Carolan and E. Bzra., The Reds won by a score of 4 to 2. The first match for the Raoul Duval cup will be played c¢n Sunday. The players will be: San Mateo team—R. M. Tobin, Wal- ter McCreery and Lawrence McCreery. The Cosmopolitans—R. Chaplin, T. A. Driscoll, C. Raoul Duval and W. S. Hobart. The Hurlingham team drew a bye and will play the winners on a date yet to be named. This team will be Charles Garland, F. J. Mackey, Cap- tain Neil Haig and E. Ezra. The pony racing which will be held to-morrow is attracting widespread in- terest here. There has been no rain for several days and the track will be in good conditicn, although record time is not expected. Peter D.

Splits and errors were in or- | der from the Central Alley faction, and it must be said that for cham- | pionship bowling the play was decid- | edly on the wane. | Three hundred and fifteen pins is the small margin by which the new champs won out.® Leap must think up some good kind of an excuse for last night, though he did well himself. He averaged 201 1-3 for the three games, but supported by 156 and 164 scores, he didn’t have a look in. Lagarde was the bowling kid last night and won all kinds of praise. With a former championship individ- ual record of 694 for three games, he tumbled the pins last night for 725. McGrath ‘and Pickler, who are both particularly delighted over the vic- tory, bowled well themseélves, averag- ing 201 2-3 and 200 respectively. Thorpe, the ‘reliable man” from the Central Alleys, fell down flat. After having established the sensational record of 300 pins on the same alleys some months ago, he came through with a 185 high score last night. There’s no denying the fact that some- thing was wrong last night. The team couldn’t seem to get together and strikes were few and far between. Birdsall bowled in the first game, but after proving that the ball invariably avoided the head »nin he effected a getaway and was replaced by Eacret, who was a trifle worse. Kelly, Russell and “Sunbeam’ Ber- telson were conspicuous by their ab- sence. Diehl took Russell's place on the score sheet, but failed to do so in the games. The individual team aver- age of the Eugenes for the three games was 181 5-15 and for the Cali- fornias 202 5-15. The score follows: CALIFORNIAS. :fl ”?:‘ 3 Total.

Already a long list of entries have been received, and a great many more boxers will probably be signed up within the next on February 25 and continue for three nights. The star bout of the affair will be the g0 between Andy Gallagher and Sam Berger. Both these men are members | of the club and rivals for heavy-weight honors. Berger is the present holder of the title, and so far has successfully defended it against all comers. He has been very much in evidence lately and has occupied a fair share of the atten- tion of the sporting public by his vic- tories and his alleged professional con- duct. Gallagher, on the other hand, has been laying low for a long time and seems to have been all but forgotten by the followers of the game. A fe months ago he occupied the center [J the stage, and after doing a lot of good | work suddenly faded out of the pub- He's view. Gallagher’s last victory was over | Walter Moreno at the San Francisco Club some few months ago. He fought a great battle that night, and althougn not in condition for the mill defeated his man easily. He has been working | hard for the meeting with Berger and promises to be in the best of form when the gong sounds. So far there have.been but two en- tries in the heavy-weight class. In the light heavy-weight class there are three, Harry Chester, James Fox and C. W. Sloan. Chester is an Olympic Club man and well known. Sloan is a very likely chap with a hard punch, and Fox is looked upon as a surprise.
