VA v L FOSSIL BADLY OUTSPRINTED PR R Silent Water the Lone Favorite to Win. HERTR A 2 BY FRED E. MULHOLLAND. Owner M. J. Daly’s Claude, a many time Derby winner, had his humbled in a sprinting race yester- day at Oakland. The bay horse was compelled to bow in submission before Misty’s Pride, the speedy Oregon- bred mare. This innbcent purse event, which was fourth on the | card and decided at six furlongs, was | Among , prolific of considerable cla the other entries were Fossil, Iridius and Padua. Fossil and Claude were each quoted at 11 to 5 in the first bet- ting, but as the latter has had the eyes of the their sockerts by his flights of speed in morning workouts, he closed favor- ite at 3 to Tow d the close of the betting a drizzling play on Misty's Pride cut the mare's price from 10 and 12 down to The favorite lacked early speed and this accom- plished his defeat, for Eddie Dominick got him away third from the barrier. “Big Bill” Knapp on Misty’s Pride lead and the pace she set had the others all tip- toeing % FOSSIL LACKS SPEED. Fossil was lamentably lacking in speed, while Iridius trailed the leader into the stretch. Claude, under vigor- ous riding, passed the Jénnings entry, but could not quite get up to the lit- pride | looking | clockers bulging out of | | | tle chestnut mare, which beat him out a short neck in 1:13%. Iridius finished third, neck before Fossil. | Followers f the favorites had from sorrow, as Silent was the one The odds about the filly were so scant that little relief was afforded them choice to land. | While the card did not wear a pre- | possessing look, if one number could be excepted, the attendance and bet- ting were good. Bookmaker Billy Engstrom’s recent hase Jerusha won the opening t, going to the post second choice in the betting. Davis piloted the filly, and, in a driving finish, she beat Lily nearly a length. Lady Goodrich, played from 12 down to 7, ran a fair third. Saccharate, the mount of Bullman, .was installed fa- vorite. It was the first start this sea- son of the filly, and after displaying a nice turn of speed she fell back. For lack of better-looking material, Scotsman was made favorite for the mile and hundred yard selling affair. Harry Michaels, who rode the Brink- worth entry, permitted Sam Green- field, on Profitable, to steal away too far in front, with a result that the outsider reached the wire first by neariy a length. Vaughan ran third, three lengths behind the favorite. The odds about the winner were played from 15 and 20 down to 6. ALONE FINISHES FIRST. Another outsider came to the sur- face in the Futurity course spin for two-year-olds, next decided. Almost any one of the nine starters could be doped a chance, and at 3% to 1 The Gadfly closed favorite. The colt does not call for much and was never dan- gerous. Travers, astride Alone, slightly backed 15 to 1 shot, gave his field the slip early and, hard pressed at the finish, led Mogregor out half a length. Loague landed the 100 to 1 shot Herthus in the show. Owners resorted to the scratching blank liberally in the fifth event, until ® This left top-heavy ob Smith’'s Silent Water a favorite, and in a fierce e Sam Greenfield kept the brown filly nose verdict over The Lieutenant. The show went to Maxtress, a 15 to 1 chance, ridden by Travers. . Michaels rode J. V. Kirby, favorite for the concluding mile and fifty yard event, and the horse made a miserable showing. Badly Used, the only entry whose odds were played down, de- feated Meistersinger and Homage with apparent ease. TRACK NOTES. Bob Smith’s apprentice Greenfield is riding in his best form. Sam carried oft the honors yesterday by piloting | two winners. ‘Walter Jennings sold Isabutte to Dr. Fitzgerald, the well-known veterinary, after the filly ran unplaced in the race won by Silent Water. Jay Ransch is in the city after an- other successful season of riding on the French turf. Jay is on his way to his Bakersfield home and will prob- ably do no riding in California. Tony Barrett’s long-distance cam- paigner Barrack arrived in a car from Los Angeles last evening. Badly Used won a race at the Port- land meeting with the syndicate ring | laying 80 to 1 against his chances. The gelding was played down to 8 and 10 to 1 and earned a nose decision. Napa Stock Farm has secured first call on the services of John Bullman. Last season Bullman rode the crack filly Arisbe in her races. Bill Carroll has in training a dozen or more grand- looking yearlings bred at the Napa es- tablishment of A. B. Spreckels. Charles Reed, owner of Falrview Farm, who created’a sensation in the horse world some years ago by paying $100,000 for St. Blaise, is registered at one of the downtown hotels. The following horses, filled a car bound for Los Angeles last evening: Kenilworth, Edinborough, Penzance, Decimo, Lena Leford, Flea, Blessed Damozel, Blondura, Pidalia, Toolin and Nick Carter.

As a mark of honor to Barney Old- field, the king of automobile drivers, the enthusiasts of this city will parade to-night through the principal streets. Oldfield will pioneer the way in his racing machine, the Green Dragon, accompanied by Charles Burman in his machine, the Blue Streak. It is expected 150 of the big touring cars, each with a full quota of passengers, will help make the affair a pictur- esque spectacle. The participants will assemble at Van Ness avenue and Market street at 8 o’clock. Oldfield visited Ingleside race track yesterday and offered some sugges- tions to the persons preparing it for the speed trials on Sunday. Oldfield is sure he can negotiate a mile in 55 seconds, which is in itself a thrilling performance. He will make a strong bid for the twenty-five mile record. —_——— Janes Defeats Kenyon at Tennis. The final match of the Thanksgiving handicap singles tennis tournament was played yesterday afteroon on the California Club courts. The contest- ants were George Janes and Al Ken- yon. The former won in straight sets, the score being 6-3, 7-5. Janes was = “'15" back of scratch, while Kenyon was a like distance above scratch. When these players met two weeks ago each won two sets. They agreed to play the match over, best two out of three. Janes was too steady for Kenyon, and carried off the honors handily. One match was played in the con- tinuous tournament. In it Harry Rolfe beat George Busch easily. The score in Rolfe’s favor was 6-3, 6-3. Busch did not play as well as usual, while Rolfe was at his best. —_——— Champion Finnigan to Box Edwards.

He can be beaten down just like the rest of them, and I think I am the man to do the work. This talk about a tough man is more rumor than anything else. One man will tell you Nelson is tough; another hears of it, and along the line it goes. I admit he is tough. but there is always some one who can put the finishing wallop on such a chap.” This is the philosophy of Jimmy Britt. He believes what he says and is earnest when he utters such a state- ment. He has set his heart on con- quering the boxer whom every one ad- mits is the Hardest one in the business to wear down. He has faith in his to leave the ring victorious over the lad who made Corbett, Ca- nole, Herrera, Hanlon and Weich strike their colors. Britt is conditioning himself for a He is devoting most of his time to wrestling, tugging and shoving men away in the clinches. He has speed enough, but what he wants to develop is ability to outrough a rough man in the clinches and at the same time send in a few punches that will turn the tide of victory in his fa- vor. His work yesterday was fast and it lasted. As usual he took to the highways in the morning and did a faithful jog of more than ten miles. A plunge in the inviting surf came next, then a rubdown, luncheon and a nap that made him come around fresh and full of energy | for his gymnasium work. He started in by breaking the rope | of his punching bag. Then he hooked up with Frank Rafael and during the four rounds that ensued many telling blows were struck by the champion. He played for the body almost contin- ually, using his right and left in rap- id succession. A few times Rafael was on the point of reclining on the carpet, so fast and so steady was the volley of wallops coming. Britt paid particular attention the clinches and always made it point to rough it. to a He showed his | strength here and invariably came out of the mixups much to the good and always in position to shoot in another punch. This sort of work seemed to | please the select attendance, though there were a few who were thought- ful enough to make some comments on how Britt really should fight. “Tiv"” Kreling next engaged Jimmy in one long round of wrestling and tugging. The pair squirmed and struggled all over .the mat and neither was willing to give an inch. Little attention was paid to punching: it was the wrestling and tugging that held their attentfon. When this was over Britt took another dip in the ocean and then began to think about his monologue turn, which he will present to-day at the benefit for the Theatrical Managers’ Association. Britt will do no gymnasium work is afternoon. Harry Sharpe of St. Louis will ref- eree the preliminary bouts on the night of the Britt-Nelson engagement. Mr. Sharpe officiated at all the box~ ing championships in St. Louis this year, KEugene Van Court of the Olympic Club pronounces him one of the cleverest referees he has ever seen in the ring. Nelson’s forfeit of $2000 and the Yo- semite Club’s forfeit of an equal amount were posted last night with Harry Cor- bett. Britt is expected to post his to- day when he comes into town. —_———— th CHURCH CO!
