Jockey Lawrence rode three winners | and one place horse. There was no special features to the racing, the card having an end-of-the-season look. The two-year-old race attracted the most attehtion among the talent, Azelina and Jerome being the most fancied.

Phillips lost no- time in getting away from the barrier with the Schreiber filly and picked the choic- est going in the stretch. Willie See, astride the odds-on choice, was prac- y .compelled to take the rail po- sition, where it was cuppy. Although Mildred B was tiring, beating Meada a head.

Horton finally. made through con- nections W%ith a purse. The little horse ruled favorite for the mile selling affair and won and that's about all. Far out of it at the start, he looked an easy winner at the bend for home, and then only downed Billy | Moore a neck. The latter horse inter- fered with Flaneur the closing seventy yards, and was set back one position, the place being awarded by the judges to the McCafferty horse. Billy Magrane’s old stand-by, Matt Hogan, made short work of his fleld in the six-furlong run, next decided. He reccived consistent support at 13 to 10, and, gradually forging to the front, finished more than a length in advance of My Surprise at the wire. Mocorito had many admirers, but ran disappointirgly, finishing third. Saint- 1y also made an indifferent showing. NOTES OF THE TRACK. Patey Phillips rode a strong finish on the Schreiber filly Mildred B. Buxton rode two vigorous finishes on Skip Me and Matt Hogan. Charley McCafferty, owner of Flaneur, bid up Horton from $400 to $1000. Bianchi & McGovern retained the little horse and retaliated by claim- ing Flaneur for $725. The Seattle and Portland stakes close to-day. The polo pony race has been post- poned until Saturday next. The pick of the two-year-old division [ will start in the Gebhard handicap at Oazkland this afternoon, with the ex- ception of Prince Brutus, which is on the sick list. The two most prominent are Arisbe and Pinkerton, which pair fought it out for the Bell stakes, re- sulting in a victory for the former crack filly. George P. McNear, Rose Eley and Ben Eric are all considered dangerous quantities. Floriana Belle and The Bugaboo, which finished first and second, respect- ively, in the last event, were both bred at Napa stock farm. ENTRIES FOR TO-DAY.

The Lowell High School tennis championship for 1904 was decided yesterday on the California Club courts. Herbert Long, last year’s champion, successfully defended his title against his brother, Melville, the tournament winner. Young Long was thought to have a poor chance to win, but his brother Had his hands full beating him. The match was won in straight sets, but all three were long deuce ones. Herbert Long played a clever game in all parts of the court, but particu- Jarly so in the back court. His ariv- ing, both backhand and Yorehand, was remarkable for a High School young- ster. The winner took more chances than he would have done had he not felt so sure of winning. The scores were—7-5, 10-8, 8-6. ¢ The semi-final match between Brad- ley Wallace and Melville Long resulted in an easy victory for the latter. Wal- Jace did his best, but was no match for his clever opponent. The score was/6-1, 6-2, 6-3. r{ The Long brothers will present Lowell in the Academic Athletic Leagte championship in both singles and doubles. — &+ $2000 added; Futurity course; two-year-olds: 6495 George P.

T. W. Beakbane was elected secretary and treasurer and H. P. H. Haggitt and G. R. Webber delegates to the California Cricket Association. These names ar- rived just in time to be inserted on the association’s 1904 schedule, which is already in type. Although the Burns Valley Cricket Club still maintains an organization, the prospects for the game in Lake County during the coming season are poor. The Lakeport Cricket Club has failed to organize and, though the Burns Valley players could make up an eleven, there are no antagonists against whom they can measure thelr strength. At various times in the last ten years there have been cricket clubs in Bakersfield, [Los Angeles. Sacra- mento, San Jose, Shasta County, Lake- port, Placer County and elsewhere, but, the founders and supporters’ of the organizations having drifted away to other places, the clubs have died. The only country clubs now affiliated with the California Cricket "Associa- tion are the Burns Valley and the Santa Cruz clubs. —_———— ‘Woods Will Be Favorite. 6523 Exepdien! th) 6521 Tdogo (McCafferty) 4971 0 U (Cha ).« (6522) Byronerdale (Crane) i tter (O'Rourke) ..

It is said also that Schreck s nou?ed of a' good wallop with either hand and with his punch and the puzzling attitude he will adopt in the ring it is thought he will keep Billy Woods guessing when the pair meet at Colma next Tuesday night. A good many of the dopesters are of the opinion that Schreck’s victories over George Cole, Twin Sullivan and Hugo Kelly alone should make him an even money proposition with ‘Woods, but it is t the latter's many admirers and s out here who will'want to bet on him will pile their money in force ‘the betting down to 10 to 8 7.

YOUNG CORBETT ~ {OARSMEN DISPLAY ‘IS CHOICE OVER ~TOMMY MOWATT Admirers of the Stockyards - Boxer Think He Has a Chanee With Denver Man HITS A WARD BLOW An Early Knockout Is 'I;ook- ed for To-Night by the _ Fight Critics in Chicago Bpectal D?rp-.;ch to The Call. CHICAGO, April 1.—Tommy Mowatt, to-deteat Young Corbett. in their six- round bout td-morrow night.at the Waverl$ Club. The chance Mes.in his right glove and in the hitting power that lurks in the same. £ ° That Mowatt can strike a blow cal- culated .to bring home the big end of the purse when it lands is acknowl- edged by-all the critics. : In that power of delivering a blowis his main, and. in According to-reports’ from the train- ing camps of both men they are in splendid condition. Mowatt has trained faithfully for the battle, but Young Corbett-has- apparently done but little hard work, depending a great deal on his class to win. The little boxer re- gards the affair merely as a warming up gallop. At that he is in fair shape and, barring the possible chance of an unexpected. knockout swing from Mow- att’s wild but convincing right hand, the Colorado boy is looked upon as a sure ‘winner. Smarting with indignity of his late reversal at the hands of Jimmie Britt, the Denver boxer is not likely to spare any pains in his endeavor to stop the Chicago boy in a hurry. His friends in Chicago have one and all declared their belief in the report that he” was given the worst of it by the referee at San Francisco. In order to prove that he deserves their good opinion, Corbett will do his best to put Mowatt down for the full count within the limit. Mowatt is an impetuous individual. Imbued with a certain amount of clev- erness, but trusting principally in his terrific punching power, he loves a rally at close quarters and tears after his opponent, dealing out left and right swings in sweetly impartial fash- ion. With two fighters of the slugging caliber pitted against each other, the logical deduction is that an early knockout may be looked for. This is just what is likely to happen to-mor- row night, Corbett, who is by no means given to boasting, still asserts that there is no boxer living at his weight who can swap punches wjth him and win a vie- tory. ‘Mowatt’s stockyards adherents are so enthusiastic over their repre- sentative’s chances that they are freely wagering their money on the chance of Tommy staying the limit. Corbett is favorite in the betting at odds of 2 to 1. Officials of the Fort Erie Club are endeavoring to bring Britt and Young Corbett together some time in April, wher: ‘the ban is expected to be lifted on fighting before that club. Corbett expressed his willingness to accept any reasonable offer, but says he does not believe Britt would favor it owing to the condition of his injured arm. From advices he has received this will not be mended for three months. —_——— ENTRIES FOR DOG SHOW WILL CLOSE TO-NIGHT Officials Expect the Best Exhibition Held in Years, According to the Present Indications. Entries for tHe eighth annual show of.the San Francisco Kennel Club will close to-night at the office of the club, 630 Market street. From the large number of entries already received the success of the exhibition is assured. The show will open in Mechanics’ Pa- vilion on the 13th inst.

The bull-terrier class will be a par- ticuuarly strong one, many valuable dogs of this breed having been pur- chased during the past year. Mrs. Cash Sloan's imported French bulldog Nounou, winner of first prize at the imperial dog show at Moscow ard considered one of the finest types of his breed in the United States, will be shown. 2 The Pacific Cat Club will hold its annual show in connection. with the dogs on the last two days of the show.

SALINAS, April 1.—The will of the late Hiram Lee Davis, a wealthy rancher, who died at Salinas last week, was filed for probate this after- noon. By the terms thereof he leaves an estate valued at over $150,000 in trust to his wife for three daughters, and, at her death it is to be divided_in equal parts, each daughter to hold her one-third in trust for grandchil- dren.
