The bookmakers made Ishlana favorite, and the general public appeared to teke more of'a shine to G. W. Trahern.

At the close the chestnut filly * had little left, for Ishlana was right at her heels, beatcn less than a length. G. W.

She was installed favorite at 4 to 5, but a heavy " play ‘on North -West caused her odds to lerigthen out until 7 to 5 could be had. Naturally a slow beginner, Davis did _not worry about the favorite's failure to keep up the first part, and in . the run-home ran over North West. Gulanthus finished a distant third.

EXCITING FINISH STIRS ASCOT PARK SPECTATORS Princess Tulane Noses Flo Bob at the Wire LOS ANGELES, Dec. 1.—A finish like that in the fourth race at Ascot Park to-day is seldom seen and certainly was the most stirring ever witnessed here. It was the feature event on the card, a free handicap for 2-year-olds and upward at a mile and a sixteenth. Flo Bob was the favorite at 9 to 10, Princess Tulane at 8 to 5 and Elie at 10 to 1. Willlam Wright was also in the race, but did not figure in the run- ning to any extent. Elie set a terrific pace, but in the stretch Princess Tu- lane and Flo Bob closed up on him and the three ran neck and neck for an eighth of a mile. The riders put every bit of energy in the finish and it was 80 close that the crowd was in doubt as tor the winner until the judges hung up Princess Tulane's number. She beat Flo Bob a nose. The latter was a head in front of Elle. The time was 1:46%. There were several surprises for the form players, although three favorites were successful. Workman, from the Stanton stable, surprised everybody by winning at five and a haif furlongs from Tramotor and Capitanazo In track record time, 1:07%. He was 7 to 1 in the betting. Bath Beach stole away from the field in the sixth race and ob- tained too great a lead for Elfin King to overcome in the final drive. The win- ner wus as good as 8 to 1. The winning favorites were Alamansor, Interlude and Merwan. Summary: First rece, maiden three-year-olds and uj seven furlongs—Alamansor, 115 (H.

Murphy, “Will you accept Eddie Gra- ney as referee for our fight if he will| agree to act?” The latter qualification | INg to-day at Alamed: was put in as Graney had announced | during the day that he would never again appear as referee of a profes- sional ring contest. 1 “We will accept Graney if he will act. ‘Will you accept Billy Roche if Graney | and the matter now stands in that posi- ‘When Manager quickly to accept Eddie Graney he had no one knew it better than the Angels ones. and enough bad baseball was crowded Tigers to shoot three through. anchored at third Hildebrand laid down Sheehan, GROTH TELLS A STRANGE was found on a plle of lumber at the foot of Sixth street on Wednesday lnl a semi-consicous condition, regainea his senses yesterday at the Emergency ity years as the “Hori-Gori” hroth:r‘l‘x’ood.

Should he do so in this in- | stance Battling Nelson's wishes will have to be considered. Nelson thoughxl Britt could defeat Joe Gans some weeks | since and staked $1400 of his hard-| earned money on his opinion.

He has refereed a number of fights here and has shown an intimate knowledge of the game. His honesty has pever been questioned and the pub- | lic has confidence that he will not be a | party to anything frregular. Graney is undoubtedly {ll, and it is a question if he could stand the strain of refereeing a bout of the character which the forth. | Britt will settle down to active train- | He will devote | much time to wrestling with Charley Kreling, as he feels he will need a lot of that practice to make him able to withstand Nelson’s rushing tactics. The time is rather short for him to get into condition, but in the past he has invariably rounded into form quickly. He seems to carry some superfluous weight just at present and may have difficulty in working down to the re- quired notch. The efforts of Nelson's trainers will be chiefly directed toward keeping him from overdoing matters. | ‘With all Young Corbett’s ring expe- | rience he seems to have made a fatal mistake after weighing in on Tuesday He disposed of seven large chops, a plate of cranberry sauce, a pitcher of ice water and some o edibles for his dinner. As he had been fairly starving himself for forty-eight hours his stomach was in no condition to digest this food, and he was in dis- tress throughout the evening. His friends prolonged the proceedings be- | fore the fight as long as possible in or- ' der to give him an opportunity to di- gest the food, but to no avail. Eddie Hanlon made a similar mistake when | he fought Corbett the second time. ! ANGELS SUFFER FROM RATTLES Doe Newton and His Team- mates Let Tigers Score Thrice in Sixth Round Ovie Overall had too much velocity in that soupbone of his yesterday and when they tried to hammer out safe Doc Newton held a mystic sway over the Tiger batsmen for a while, but he became rickety all of a sudden into the sixth inning to allow the Score: Tacoma 3, Los Angeles 1. The cold weather did not keep the twirlers from slamming the ball over the plate at locomotive speed all the time. Hits did not come often and when they did show but little damage was the result. Errors figured more than the bingles. The Angels all took a trip skyward in the sixth and never seemed to recover after that time. Although it was the first meeting of the two most showy pitchers in the league, the crowd seemed to hang back and little more than a corporal’s guard was on hand to see the big fellows hook up. The game aroused no enthu- slasm and was marked by an absence of startling maneuvers, save for Over- all's feat of fanning nine batsmen. It looked as though the one run the Angels made in the third would win the game. One man was down when old Heine Spies hit to Shay, who threw the ball away at first. Newton sacri- ficed and while Overall held the ball Spies started to steal. Ovie was dreaming about Cincinnati and big league success and did not observe Heine’s saucy move. After Spies had a bunt that brought the run in. Doyle started the doings for the Tigers with a pop hit to left field. Shay laid down a bunt and Newton winged the ball wide to Brashear. Sheehan advanced both men with a bunt and Nordyke slipped In a Texas leaguer back of first. While Brashear, Flood and Cravath were officing up to the ball, Doyle and Shay tore through and Nordyke landed on second. After that neither team figured and the game progressed peacefully.

Information has come to Manager | Decoto of the varsity football team of a plan now maturing in Denver, Colo., to form a great Western league of college football teams, of which the University | of California and the Stanford elevens ‘Wwould be prominent members. The plan | was suggested by the immense enthu- | siasm displayed in Denver on the occa- sion of the game which the University of Colorado played with Stanford on Thanksgiving day. | So remarkable was the attendance and so great was the Interest shown ' that men prominent in athletics there instantly began to plan the formation of a so-called “Big Seven” league of college football teams, these to include the universities of Colorado, Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, California and Stanford. { It is proposed by the Denver people to form an intercollegiate football asso. ciation, composed of representative teams from the States mentioned, and then arrange a schedule to give each college in the league a game with the other colleges prior to Thanksgiving day.” On the latter date of each year the two leading teams would play a final game for the championship, these great annual games to be played suc-| cessively in Kansas City, Denver and San Francisco. H On the day after the recent game in! Denver committees were appointed to’ prepare preliminary plans and commu- | nicate with the universities proposed to ! be associated in the league. S 1 Manager Decoto said to-day: “If the northern universities of Oregon and | ‘Washington were included I believe the | plan would be a better one, but as it is, | it strikes me as being an excellent idea. | When I am officially informed of the measures proposed to be taken by the promoters we will consider the plan in‘ detail at a meeting of the executive| committee of the A. §. U. C.”" Assistant Manager Leo Bishop spoke in similar strain, suggesting that the | northern universities be substituted in | such an association as is proposed for | the Towa and Nebraska universities. —_—————— Young Boxers Will Meet.
