A WINNER LOS ANGELES, Dec. 6.—Three fa- | vorites, two second choices and an out- | sider in the betting were the winners |to-day at Ascot. There was a big crowd in attendance, the day being des- | ignated “ladies’ day.” Ed Walsh car- | ried off the jockey honors, winning two races, finishing second in one and third in another. Fuller's ride on Tim Payne |in the second race did much to win! | the race for his mount from Winni- | freda, with Interiude third. The three | horses finishéd together, each under a | hard drive. | Ralph Reese won all the way in the | third race, El Otros managing to beat | Mart Gentry for the place by a small !margin. Elle was overlooked by the | big pettors in the fourth number, and | went'to the post as good as 10 to 1. He |led all the way, winning from Judge |Denton and Flo Bob in the order | named by half a length. Golden Light |was the best in the fifth and won easily from Needful and Helgerson. The | first race over the Brooks course, which |is seventy-three yards short of a mile |and a cuarter, was the sixth on to- | day’s card. The course was named in honor of Manager J. W.

DES MOINKS, Towa, Dec. 6.-—Be- cause Mrs. Mary Orr, a divine healer, was unable to comply with her hus- band’'s demand that she make his race- horses break world’s records she was subjected to brutal treatment, and she was accordingly granted a divorce at Marshalltown to-day. Her story, as told to the Judge, was corroborated by two witnesses, who are neighboring women. Mrs. Orr had achieved considerable reputation as a divine healer in Colorado, but has never practiced her power much in this State. It was shown to the satis- faction of the court that she suggest- ed to her husband that if she could qnly have the influence over his horses that she has over human beings she could make them win every race in which they were entered. He there- upon began to insist that she perform this feat. She attempted it, but his horses failed to win. He then abused her and the divorce suit resulted. —————— Champion Finnigan to Box. ‘With George Finnigan and Frank Edwards in the main event and such boxers as Jim Kane and “Spider” Joe Kelly to approach the climax the Bay City Club has a good card for its monthly boxing exhibition at Mechan- fcs’ Pavillon Angex on Friday night.

He has settled down at the Seal Rock House at the Ocean Beach with his retinue of handlers and is working earnestly. He took a long run on the road yes- terday morning and after a rub down plunged into the surf at the foot of the Cliff House hill. Surf bathing is a new feature in his training and he enjoys it hugely. He also went in the surf in the afternoon. In the afternoon he boxed with Char- ley Kreling and Frank Rafael before a large gallery of visitors. Rafael helped condition Nelson for his fight with Corbett, and if there are any weak spots in the Dane's armor he will | coach Britt how to reach them.

Britt has given but little thought to his weight up to the present time. Af- ter a few days at the beach he will test himseif| on the scales. If he finds the invigorating air at the beach makes him put on flesh he will change his quarters at once to Alameda. It is expected the amount of work he will do will bring him in at the weight easily. | Nelson tired- quickly of the glitter and glare of the city and has gone for a shooting trip into the country. He will return to Larkspur within a day or so to resume training. He needs practically no work as he s naturally light and gentle exercise puts him in condition. The chief danger is that he will get anxious and overtrain. It was intended to post forfeits last night with Harry Corbett and to in- sert the name of the referee in the ar- ticles of agreement.

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.—The six-day bicycle race at Madison Square Garden to-day developed into a steady, cease-; less grind. Worn by the exertion of | many hours, none of the riders seemed | anxious to set a “killing” pace, and! every hour placed the riders farther behind the record established in previ- ous contests. The exciting sprints that ! marked the earlier stages of the race were almost entirely lacking during the night and early hours to-day. During the night there was only one spill, and that only affected one rider, Floyd Krebs, the tire of whose wheel came off. 2 During the afternoon Willie Fenn Ola Man, Trying to Make His Living, Loses His Balance Through Fecbleness and Dies. Eugene McGillicuddy, an express- man about 70 years old, who resided at 1204 Mission street, was killed yes- terday by falling down stairs and breaking his neck. The old man had been employed to remove household goods from 1130% Howard street. He started to carry a large laundry bas- ket full of goods down stairs, and, through feebleness, lost his balance and fell headlong to the next landin; ‘When bystanders reached him he was dead. ———— SUES YORKE ON A NOTE.—H.

IC CLUB RING, BUT SPECTATORS AD BEEN SCHEDULED CORRIGAN MAY OPEN TUREF WAR Master of Hawthorne Is at Outs With Western Jockey Club Officials TROUBLE OVER DATES New Circuit of Tracks May Be Formed to Run in Oppo- sition to Old Organizations Spectal Dispatch to The Call. CHICAGO, Dec. —If all signs do not fail, Edward Corrigan will begin an extensive turf war against the Western Jockey Club and the tracks controlled by it. As a result of Monday’s meeting of the Jockey Club’s stewards, at which dates were refused to the new New Orleans track, headed by Corrigan, and the Union Jockey Club at St. Louis. of which P. J. Carmody is manager, it is believed that Corrigan will form a new circuit of tracks which will run in ovo- position to those governed by the West- ern Jockey Club. In this circuit it is believed would be Hawthorne. Eim- ridge of Kansas City, New Orleans track, Latonia, Essex Park Club at Hot Springs, Ark., and possibly Nash- ville. Some even go far emough to predict that in case of a war Washing- ton Park and Worth might join the new circuit. AU B, & FIGHT IS ON IN ST. LOUIS. Union Jockey Club Officials Announce a Long Season. S8T. LOUIS, Mo., Dec. sult of the Western Jockey Club’s re- fusal of dates to the Union and Pan- ama tracks of St. Louis and New Or- leans a disastrous turf war seems In- evitable. In Missouri the effect may be to break up the game with an en- tire new deal in the State government. There is a strong probability that if the enemies of the syndicates which for several years have monopolized sport in St. Louis, made a strong, intelli- gent fight in the Legislature the syn- dicate’s monopoly would be broken up by the repeal of the breeders’ law. un- der which racing at any one track more than ninety days in the year is forbldden. The Cella-Adler-Tilles svn- dicate evades this law by owning three tracks and splitting their dates. The Union Jockey Club officials threw down the gauntlet to-day to the West- ern Jockey Club when they announced they would race six months next sea- | son. This means a test of the breeders’ law and a desperate fight. 3 ol NEW ORLEANS OWNERS STUNNED Stock in the New Track Is a Drug in the Market. NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 5.—Stockhold- ers in the New Orleans Jockey Club are sore to-day. They thought they had a sure winner in the new track, and the action of the Western Jockey Club was a great surprise to them. Stock dropped rapidiy. It is on the market in bunches at almost any old price. All the officers of the new track are in Chicago, and until they return it will be difficult to tell just what action will be taken. The general opinion among men who know those most largely interested in the new track is that they will take their medicine and wait for better luck next time. They are all men who believe thoroughly in legitimate racing and will rum no chances of their track being put in the outlaw class. There are a few horse- men here who belleve that when the new track is completed racing will be carried on for a large part of the spring. —_——— Shorter Season for Baseball.
