Veter-| © ano, the only other starter, is still shy ! of his old time speed. | The atiendance was large and the betting almost as furious as on a holi- | day. Favorites annexed three of the| purses. | John Bullman had his first mount at | ! the meeting in the opening sprint over the Futurity course for two-year-olds. He piloted Ara, a 7 to 1 shot, and came | within a short head of defeating the; 3 to 20 favorite Golden Buck,' ridden | by Davis. Travers, astride Velna, fin- ished third. PONAPA WINS CLEVERLY. S Ponapa, played down | from 8 to 3%, took the five and a half | ferlong run which followed from a big 1. Sammy Greenfield had the leg | » on Ponapa and passing David Bo- land on the far turn assumed the front position and at the wire led Harka| over the line a length. The latter filly ciosed at 25 to 1. Kunz, on the post| favorite, The Reprobate, only lost the place by a nose. “Big Bill” Knapp was unfortunate in getting away among the -enders with Gallant Cassie. { For an 11-to-10 favorite, Dungannon assuredly made a splendid showing in | the mile-and-sevent y-yard selling af- | fair. At no stage of the racing did she | show in better than fifth position, and | finally ended up a poor sixth. Never- | theless her stable connections thought | she would win, and the betting had a | healthy appearance. Wonderful to re- late, Flaneur, at 10 to 1, with Frank Sullivan up, downed old Flying Torpe- do a neck. J. V. Kirby ran an indiffer- ent third. SAN NICHOLAS IS UNLUCKY. Dr. Rowell's black horse, San Nicholas, favorite for the six-furiong selling feature, in which quite a galaxy of speed found representation, had his chances ruined at the start. As the barrier was sprung he was bumped and knocked to his knees by Oro Viva and could not recover the ground then lost. Sad Sam led almost to the stretch, | where ‘H. L. Frank, ridden by Me- | Laughlin, headed him. The latter found the pace too hot and W. Davis forged to the front with Mansard. In a mila drive he earned the decision from Romaine by nearly a length. The winner's price receded from 4 to 1. After her showing in the concluding seven-furlong purse event, it would look as if the bruising race run by Ni- | grette when she defeated Andrew B. Cook several days back had dulled the little mare's speed. Her price was played down from 4 to 5 to 3 to 5, and at no time did she look a winner. Hel- gesen, astride Toledo, waited on Whoa Bill and Ishtar to the stretch, where he made his move, and at the end won cleverly. Ishtar, against which 50 to | 1 was laid, lost the place to Whoa Bill by haif a length. TRACK NOTES. W. Davis was the only rider to pi-| lot two winners. | Frank Sullivan finally got a move | on and rode a clever race on Flaneur. | Twenty-one books cut in.

It is a four-oared coxswain shell, made of Spanish cedar, and considered a true representation of the efficiency attained by the most suc- cessful of American racing-boat build- ers “I hope the advent of this new boat fll stimulate interest In boat racing; here,” said S.” S. Hawley, president of the University Boat Club, to-day, “and that the coming of this boat will be but the beginning of an influx of boat- racing material. Our new boat will be the equal in all respects of the most perfect shell in the East.” Preparations are being made at the university for the inter-class regattas and candidates for places on the crews are training for the try-outs to be held early in the coming term. Among those who have declared themselves as can- didates are E. A. Bannister, D. M. Evans, A. Salisbury, G. J. Anloff, C. M. Hurlburt, R. F. Nash, S. S. Haw- ley. E. V. Dodge, H. Bird, H. Schreiber, J. P. Loeb, E. J. Loeb, Nowell Ross and George Jones. Among these candidated is R. F. Nash, a sophomore from Wisconsin, where he acted as coxswain for his class crew at the State University. Ezra Decoto, manager of athletics for the associated students, recently called upon the University of Washington au- thorities to secure the Lippy cup, a trophy which the California Boat Club declares should be in its possession. The Czlifornia crew won the last event with ‘Washington and is entitled to the cup, according to the conditions of the donor. The northern authorities have promised to send the trophy here at once. [: At a meeting of the boat club last Monday the following officers were clected for the next half-year: S. S. Hawley, president; E. A. Bannister, vice president; A. Salisbury, secretary and treasurer; D. M. Evans, corre- sponding secretary. Athletes of the university who are devotees of association football are en- deavoring to introduce the game here and eventually to procure the forma- tion of class teams, so that matches, may be made without going outside of CYCLISTS QuIT SUDAT RACE NEW YORK, Dec. 7.—Angry because they believed the race was being un- fairly conducted and because methods which they allege to be wrong allowed other riders to gain a lap upon them to-day, flve teams in the six-day bicy- cle race at Madison Square Garden, in- cluding some of the best riders com- peting in the event, quit the race. The five teams that quit were ‘Walthour and Munroe, Bedell and Bedell, Mayor and Newkirk, McLean and Bowler and But- ler and Moran. All of them were among ::e best in the contest and among 0S¢ most heavi bl%hezt oeh .ly backed to win the he trouble was precipitate most exciting perlo% ofprld}n: t:g ::: race thus far given, when Root and Dorlon, followed by Stol and Vander- stuyft, succeeded in gaining a lap on their opponents. Walthour, who acted as spokesman for the five dissatisfled teams, declared that the members of those teams relieved each other at times not allowed by the rules, espe- clally in the case of Stol and Vander- stuyft. For two miles Dorlon kept up a heartbreaking sprint and gained half a lap on the bunch. Then, hardly los- ing a second, Root jumped in and be- gan a sprint even more heartbreaking than Dorlon's had been. He kept it up for forty minutes, with the other riders trying desperately to overtake him, but at the end of that time he had gained the lap he and his partner coveted. Walthour was on the track through- out the sprint and riding a little ahead of the rest. When ‘Root was making his meteoric dash half a lap ahead of the rest little Stol, the Belgian rider, who had just rellfeved Vanderstuyft, stole up past Walthour and began a sprint to catch Root. In twelve laps he . pohs ot the college. The plan failed because there was apparently no one in the school who knew enough of the pastime to attempt leadership. AR il L STANFORD LOSES LANIGAN.

Wal- thour was too much taken by surprise to catch him. Then the partners in the five teams named who were not then on the track made their complaint and declared their intention of withdrawing. Their partners then riding left the track and all ten riders immediately surrounded the officials and demanded that the lost distance be restored to them. ‘Walthour, as spokesman for the dis- satisfled riders, argued that Stol had not properly relieved Vanderstuyft and that the lap was gained unfairly. P. T. Powers, promoter of the race, told Walthour and the others that they had no right to leave the track as they had done, either by the National Cy- cling rules or the special contracts which they made with the manage- ment. He concluded: “You can go back on the track or not. Take your choice.” After a conference between President Batchelder of the National Cycling Assoclation and R. S. Kelcey, chair- man of the Board of Control of the association, Walthour and the nine other riders who withdrew from the race were indefinitely suspended. The case will not be disposed of un- til the regular annual meeting in Feb- ruary. Until that time they cannot ride on any track In the United States. Waithour has engaged to ride in Eu- rope in .the early spring, but if the suspension is not lifted he will not be allowed to ride on any track in the world, nor will any of the other sus- pended men. ‘When Manager Pollock ordered the ten men who had quit the race to leave the garden a lively argument ensued and the police reserves were sum- moned. The excitement was over when they arrived. The garden was thrown into an up- roar during the trouble, and at one time there was a series of fist en- counters all around the oval. Joseph L. Sullivan, a handler for Keegan, was given a severe beating. Mr. Powers later issued orders that | Faliona none of the dissatisfied men nor their ) ! trainers nor handlers was to be ad- mitted to the garden again. Some time later Walthour and Mec- Lean returned and had a talk with Powers. Walthour afterward said he asked Powers for $600, which he con- sidered due him for the motor-paced race on Saturday might and his work so far this week and that Powers had referred him to an attorney. McLean said he “was in the same boat.” He added he had engaged a lawyer, whom he had instructed to at- tach the gate receipts at once. Denial was made by the management that there had been any error in the scorers' box as claimed by the riders who left the track. The two leading teams, Vanderstuyft and Stol and Root and Dorlon, had covered 1289 miles 8 laps at 1 o'clock this morning. No change had occurred up to that hour in the relative positions of the twelve teams. The record for this hour is 1443 miles 6 laps. —_—————— Knocked Down by a Car.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. ites won at Ascot to-day, while the winner in the sixth race was a heavily played second choice. The books, therefore, suffered severely and the betting crowd went home happy. There were several close and exciting finishes, but no particular feature to the day’s sport. Cloverton, the favorite, won the first race handily from Sceptre, with Effer- vescence third. Great Mogul was heavily played, but spolled his chances by running away when going to the post. Fireball was a 1-to-2 favorite for the nd race and won all the way from West Brookfleld and Hilona. The third race was a heavy betting affalr, Eifin King ruling favorite at 6 to 5. He won after a stirring finish from Bath Beach, with Funny Side third. | The fourth was easy for Capitanazo, | Milton Young taking the place from | L. Johnston. Happy Chappy re-| warded his backers in the fourth by beating Our Pride and Dutiful. Our B E— DECLARES WAR AGAINST WESTERN JOCKEY OLUB Edward Corrigan, Backed by New Orleans Association, Will Settle Old Scores. NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 7.—It is to be war between the New Orleans Jockey Club and the Western Jockey Club. This is the decision ‘which the officers of the former club have reached. The fight against the Western association : is to be led by Edward Corrigan, who has a number of scores to settle with the assoclation. He has decided to go into this thing with heart and soul, and not only will he have the power of the New Orleans Jockey Club back of him, but racing men here believe he will throw all other tracks in which he is interested in the fight and to-night they are prophesying that the days of the Western Jockey Club are numbered. It was announced that the New Or- leans Jockey Club would, within a few days, make application for. membership in the Western Jockey Club. It is a foregone conclusion that this request will be turned down. The officers of the New Orleans Jock- ey Club will then ask again for an equitable division of dates. This re- quest will also be refused, according to the admission of President Samuel Heislip. Suit will then be braught in the Federal courts here to force the ‘Western Jockey Club to show reason why the new club was not given a division of the dates and asking for forfeiture of the charter of that as- sociation under the claim that its pro- visions have been wantonly violated. The fight promises to become one of the warmest in turf history in the West. CHICAGO, Dec. Edward Corrigan’s disclosed. The millionaire who of- fered the “Master of Hawthorne” a fortune to start war with the Western Jockey Club has been discovered. He is none other than H. E. Huntington of New York and San Francisco, the nephew of the late Collis P. Hunting- ton. That Huntington and Corrigan will lead a gigantic crusade against the Western Jockey Club there is now no doubt. —————— FIFTY-SIX GREYHOUNDS IN UNION PARK STAKES 1 7.—The name of acker has been Two Events to Be Run on Sunday ‘Will Make Up This Week's Card.

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 7.—Willie Fitzgerald of Brooklyn knocked out Otto Sieloff of Chicago to-night in the seventh round of what was to have been a ten-round bout. Four-ounce gloves were used. It was all Fitzger- ald’s fight from the start of the sec- ond round, in which he knocked Sie- loff down twice. From that time Fitzgerald played with his man to give the crowd a longer fight, al- though he took a number of wild swings made by Sieloff and some hnrd| blows landed on his face, which he did not seem to mind. The fight was in the Auditorium Rink before a large crowd. A hard left swing on the head finished the fight. ——— New Orleans Racing. NEW ORLEANS, Dec.
