TRACK NOTES. mmy Greenfield, who left here last with Bob Smith's stable prac- s Epr tica 2 povice in the saddle, is loom- ing up as a most promising rider. He rode iwo winners yesterday, both from his employer's string. John Bullman is down to riding weigl but said he would wait until next Monday or Tuesday before ac- cepting any mounts. In the interim he will gallop a few horses every morning. For the first time in seven dayvs W. Davis failed to ride more than one -winner. At a meeting of the stewards held yesterday J. T. Sheehan, who rode An- drew B. Cook when that sprinter made such a disappointing showing last | - Tuesday, was suspended. It was also decided to revoke the license of Fred Hubbard, valet for Sheehan. Dom- Inick piloted the so-called Hindoo of the bushes in Thursday’'s race, in . which Cook picked up weight and had speed enough to burn a wet dog.

BOOKIES ARE HARD HIT Four Favorites Catch the Eyes of the Judges in Ascot Park Races 114, s LOS ANGELES, Dec. 2.—The success of four favorites at Ascot to-day dealt a serious blow to the books. One horse especially was heavily played, Ignacio taking the last race at a mile and sev- enty yards, after having been backed from 3 to 1 to 8 to 5. The other win- ning favorites were: Harbor, Judge Denton and Doctor C. Sportsman and Ericula, winners of the first and second races, respectively, were heavily played second choices.

Score—Los Angeles 10, Tacoma 6. . It was a bad game of ball in every respect. Few of the runs were earned. Both pitchers were wild, Fitzgerald in particular, for he gave eight bases on balls. The fielders were all erratic. Joe Corbett managed to boot three around the second bag, and they all counted in the run-getting. 4 The Tigers took a lead of four in the first three innings, and it looked easy for them till the Angels got the bases | full in the fourth. They made runs sys- tematjcally, one at a time. In all five found where he was at once again, This took a lot of fight out of the Tigers and made the Angels feel like big leaguers. The Angels put the finishing touches on their day’s work in the ninth spasm by hammering three through. The Ti- lgerg began to do a little sticking at the ast moment, but failed to come through and let two men die on the sacks. The score: Tacoma— Los A AB.R H. P.A.

Manager + 7 4 "‘|Coflroth,heard this rumor indirectly and at once said that in behalf of the Yosemite Club if it was left to that or- ganization that he would name Roche. By having the club name the referee Britt would place it in the position of guaranteeing him fair treatment in the ring. N Eddie Graney said yesterday that he would not accept the position of ref- eree nor would he act in any other pro- fessional contest. If his health will permit he will serve the Olympic Club whenever the officials of that organiza- tion desire his services. Britt and Charley Kreling. who will assist him in his training operations, visited- the Seal Rock House at the ocean beach yesterday and practically decided upon doing his training there. It is considered a good advertisement for the fight to have him in such a readily accessible place for visitors. The only question is' whether he can secure the privacy there he desires. He will determine to-day on this score and will commence his training this after- noon. The measurements of the men taken before their recent fights will prove of interest to the followers of the ring. They are as follows: Britt— Nelson— 5 feet 6 inches.. Helght....5 feet 714 Inches .

It is ex- pected Britt will open an 8 to 10 choice and there are some persons who are already wiling to bet 7 to 10 that he will returned the winner. Nelson undoubtedly will have a large follow- ing, as he has won all his fights on the short end. Opinions differ as to whether Britt can stop the wonderful Dane. The friends of the latter claim he cannot be knocked out, while the admirers of the hard-hitting Califor- nian are sure he can turn the trick. Nelson was vresent at the fights in Woodward Pavilion last night and was warmly greeted by the spectators. —e CORBETT SEEKS A MATCH. il Train Earnestly to Show His Good Intentions. Young Corbett has awakened to a realization of the mistakes he has made recently and is now trying all in his power to undo the damage to his repu- tation as a fighter. He is anxious to post a forfeit of $1000 to bind a match with the winner of the Britt-Nelson -l—————fi__.’ STORM SWEEPS OVER CHICAG Winter Reaches the Middle West, Bringing With It a General Fall of Snow! Special Dispatch to The Call. CHICAGO, Dec. 2.—Génuine winter, with the first real snowstorm of the season, swept over Chicago to-day. Traction lines throughout the city were badly handicapped. Patrons of the sub- urban trains were late in reaching the city. Cold weather and snow delayed all the mail trains from thirty minutes to an hour. Snow did not fall in suf- ficient quantity in this section of the country to seriously impede railroad traffic, however. A minimum temperature of 10 degrees above zero, with several inches snow, is the prediction of the local Weather Bureau for to-morrow. The chilly blast is expected to last over Sunday, and perhaps longer. To-day’s snowstorm prevaiied as far north as Milwaukee, where three inches were registered. Snow also fell in Ne- | braska, North and South Dakota, Min- nesota and Yowa, and was accompanied by falling temperaturs WILL NOT SIGN TREATY BEFORE CONGRESS MEETS Old Agreement Between This Country and China to Be Abrogated in Few Days. ° WASHINGTON, Dec. 2-—Secretary Hay and Sir Cheentung Liang Cheng, the Chinese Minister, probably will not sign the new immigration treaty before Congress meets. The existing treaty will be abrogated on Decem- ber 8, three days after Congress meets. China seeks a new treaty which, while respecting the exclusion of coolie labor from the United States, will be more favorable to the admis- gion of students, officials and mer- chants now eligible. President Roose- velt and Hay are favorable to a more liberal treaty and the terms of one are now under consideration. ——————————— PRESIDENT CELEBRATES WEDDING ANNIVERSARY Chief Executive Has Been Married to Mrs, Roosevelt Eighteen Years. .

To show his earnestness in the matter. he has decided to settle down at some quiet resort and will go through a thorough course of training under the direction of Frank McDon- ald, the most competent young trainmer on the coast.

Shannon’s, near San Rafael. Here his ! work would be a pleasure to him and | he would regain the athletic form he ! has frittered away during-the past eight months in a butterfly existence.

As this was a sure indica- tion of his condition he would hl\'e‘ been much better off had he let his friends into the secret as they would | have known there was something wrong with his training methods if he | was away - above weight and would | have urged a change in his work. ,‘ Corbett has been assured of a match | the next time he starts he will be in his old time form. i T POWELL’'S WALLOPS NEARLY | PUT TOM SULLIVAN AWAY | Tenny Knocks Carroll Out in Four Rounds and Mayfield and Riley Fight a Great Battle. A bang, a biff of the glove against some one's jaw or body was heard for two hours at Woodward's Pavilion last night when one of the best boxing shows of the time was promoted by the San Francisco Athletic Club. The | main event was a fitting windup to the evening's sport. Lew Powell, the champlon lightweight, all but stowed | Tom Sullivan away, though he was | given a good time before the four ' rounds were reeled off. Sullivan used a straight left to the | jaw and womld have brought home | the money had not Powell waded in occasionally with well placed rights and lefts to the body and jaw. Powell | won the fight in the last two xounds | when he got to Sullivan's jaw several | times with hard jolts. s§ullivan was | all but gone, but proved game. Harry Tenny copped young Jimmy Carroll with a right to the jaw in the fourth round, just before the bell! sounded. Up to that time the mill was full of sensations and both men | exchanged several wallops that looked | like the ones which produce sleep. Frank Mayfield was awarded a deci- sion over Harry Riley that was not earned. Both men stood up and slugged till they were all in, but Ri- ley landed more often and had a shade the better of it. Young Choynski was too many for George Ellis and the latter was ready to say good-night when the bell rang. Charley Dunn led all the way in his mixup with Young McClure. Denny O'Connell outpointed Billy Duffy, and Charley Webber beat Manuel Torres to' a standstill. ARE STILL LOOKING FOR MISSING GOLD | i Express Company Officials Hopeful of | Finding Coin in a For- warding Box. i The officials of W:lls-Fargo Express | Company are still in a quandary as to | what has become of the bag contain- ing $15,000 in gold, which mysterious- Iy disappeared from the forwarding department of the corporation several days ago. Although the representa- | {tives of the company publicly state that they have not directed suspicion | against any employe and are hopeful of discovering the missing coin in some forwarding meney box, they are neverthelss taking various precautions toward apprehending the thief in the event 'of circumstances finaily satisfy- ing them that the money was stolen. Among a number of the employes of | the company the supicion exists that the money was stolen, but those who entertain this belief are not openly ex- presging it. At the office yesterday it was stated that the company, acting under an original theory that possibly the money had been misplaced in a coin box destined for some distant point, is having these boxes carefully checked as fast as they arrive at their destina- tion. By Monday the boxes shipped to the more distant points, such as' New York, dn the day the coin was| missed, will all have reached their destinations and then the company | will definitely know whether ar not it _has been robbed. Until then, the : officials of the company say, they will {not be prepared to say just how the ! money disappeared. i ————— FIRE COMMISSIONERS | WILL PRESENT MEDALS | | Rewards for Brlim to Be Delivered | to Winners—Tom Parker's Foes | Are Transferrved, The Board of Fire Commissioners vesterday decided that the Scafinell| medals for bravery in the depanmentz will be presented to the fortunate fire- men, August Engelke and Claude Brownell, in the rotunda of the City Hall on the afternoon of December 21. | IMI!'B N:vihoh. lec:tnry of the Pen-| sion Board, report tha { asked the Supervisors for 530,000, "ora amount received was $20.000.
