California Trotter Takes a $5000 Stake in Straight Heats at Brighton Beach ED GEERS SITS STILL fieulty in Landing the Son of Sidney Dillon First 5 LR Special Dispatch to The Call. BRIGHTON BEACH, Aug. 16.—Ed Geers gave the wise guessers a surprise in the first event to-day with Stanley Dillon, winner of the M. and M. stakes, by defeating the much-touted Snyder McGregor and relegating him to fourth position. Snow drove the favorite, but a bad break cost him his chances in the first heat. Howard had Lisonjero away well and took the place from Lela luckily. In the pools Stanley Dillon sold at $10 in pools of $100. The books quoted 5 to 1 about him. Snyder Mec- Gregor was at even money. After the first heat it was Snvder McGregor $50, the field $30, and the books held him at 1 to 5. Geers simply sat still through- out and won the heat and the race. Plunger Hubinger pounded the field anmous Driver Has No Dif- end hard throughout, investing several | thousands against Snyder McGregor's chances, as he fancied it was not to be his day. The backers of Stanley Dillon freely forgave the California trotter's past offenses and were jubilant this evening. E. E. Smathers’ awkwardly moving black pacer, John M, starting in the 2:08 class stake, the Brighton, com- pletely upset the majority of the bet- tors by winning the one great betting race of the grand circuit meeting, his owner and the New Haven plunger, N.

The big boxing contest for October may be a bout between Fitzsimmons and McCoy. The officials of the Shas- ta Athletic Club are making overtures to the light heavy-weights and it is possible it will secure the match. McCoy stated yesterday that he is willing to take on the lanky one pro- viding the terms are favorable, An effort will be made to-day to locate Fitz and if he likes the idea of mix- ing it with the “Kid"” the articles will be signed at once. McCoy evidently thinks there is something doing, for he has asked Andy Gallagher to be- come his sparring partner when he goes into training. wired yesterday Jimmy Gardner that he had called off his proposed fight with Martin Canole and would come to this city immediately. He will train at Larkspur under the direc- tion of Harry Foley for his fight with Joe Gans in this city next month.

Ghost, Quits Badly in a Hawthorne Race. Special Dispatch to The Call. CHICAGO, Aug. 16.—Don Domo, the “Texas gray ghost,” is up to his old habits of quitting badly at a critical moment. He lost the second race at Hawthorne to-day, in which he was an odds-on choice. The gelding was ex- pected to run away from the ordinary fleld which opposed him in this race. ,He did show speed enough to carry him to the front by two and a half lengths, but Monastic 1I hung so close to him the “gray streak’” began to back up after going four furlongs. Turning for home he also swung wide, allowing White Plume to skim along ) the rail, saving several lengths and gaining enough advantage to win by la good length and a half. Don Domo was backed from even money down to 13 to 20, and was looked upon as about the best investment of the day. His defeat was a bitter blow to the talent. . There was much dissatisfaction ex- pressed over the decision of the judges in placing The Lady first in the fifth | race. It was claimed by many that i;lmlcess Tulane plainly won, with ola second and The Lady third. However, the judges were in the best position to determine the positions at the finish. The track was fast and the weather clear, but the attendance was only fair. Summary: FIRST RACE—Six furiongs; three-year-olds; Betiing, Horse: Weight, J st % g.” Horse, Weight, Jockey.
