The prospects are for some excellent sport at Oakland racetrack this week, as a fine programme has been ar- !nn'ed. On Wednesday there will be ! a handicap for all ages at a mile and | seventy yards, with $1000 added. This 'event should serve to bring together { some of the best Itorses here. i The Crocker selling stakes, which | will have a value of more than $3000, tis down for decision Saturday. It is , for three-year-olds and upward at one ,mile. Among the seventy-four eligl- bles are a number of high-class per- | formers. The list includes Arcade, | Military Man, Elliott, Vesuvian, Le- « tola, Bombardier, Soufriere, The | Mighty, Modicum, Martinmas, Ni- . grette, Gold Money, Captain Forsee, i San Nicholas, Andrew B. Cook and Ananias. | "' The Christmas handicap, with $3000 | added, will be run on Monday, the 26th | inst. . | During the first twenty-five days of | the present season the New California Jockey Club has distributed $67,000 in ' stakes and purses. Walter B. Jennings ! heads the list of winning owners, with | $4920 to his credit. : James Hanby savs it was through | | no fault of his that Mike Daly was de- prived of the services of Dominick to ride Claude in the handicap on Satur- day. According to the former's ver- | ! sion of the controversy, Daly on Fri- | day stated that Claude would not be |a starter in the race, whereupon Hanby then secured the mount on Gold Money for Dominick. Bullman wag once more on the sick list, the judges would not permit W. Daly to accept the mount, so Claude was scratched. Michaels should brush up in his rid- ing a little. Some of his waits are longer than it is between cars on the (Geary-streel line. If Northwest can win easily with R. Butler up, the filly was a pick-up at |$700. It would not be surprising to | see her beat Dainty with a rider up. 8o Ed Corrigan has gone on East from Chicago to enlist the services of the Jockey Club in his fight against | the Western Jockey Club.

Neither side was able to score against the other. J. Frew was referee, and by his prompt decisions prevented the game from becoming a rough one, as would certainly have happened with a weaker referee. The Hornet forward line played a strong attacking game, but could not pierce the defense of the Vampires. The goalkeepers on both sides did their work well, each stopping three certain goals. The game was watched by a large crowd of spectators, who mani- fested keen interest in the players.

The courts of the California Tennis Club were covered with water yester- day until late in the afternoon. A few of the enthusiasts then became busy with mops and brooms and the courts were fairly dry at 3 o’clock. Will Col- lier and Carl Gardner played two sets, both of which the former won. Gard- ner took the first four games in the first set, but Collier won the next nine games straight. The veteran is fast getting into form and will be hard to beat in the future. The score was 6-4, 6-4. Dr. Lovegrove proved too strong for W. G. Knowlton, beating him four straight sets. The score was 6-4, 6-2, 6-3, 6-2. Paul Jones forced H. Gabriel to play his best game to beat him. Jones won the first set and had a lead of 5-2 in the second, but Gabriel won this set, 7-5, and the next, 6-1. Harry McAfee and Gus Lisser played two close sets. The former won both, the score being 6-4, 7-5. D —————e————— PARNELLS FALL BEFORE INVINCIBLE WOLFE TONES. Gaelic Football Teams Indulge in One of the Livellest Contests of the Year. One of the liveliest games of Gaelic football ever seen in this city was played at the Presidio’ Athletic Grounds yesterday when the Parnell team faced the Wolfe Tones. The fleld was a cross between the San Bruno marsh and a plate of mush, but the players seemed to be amphibious. ! In the first half a bunch of Par-: nells in green jerseys literally piled) through the Wolfe Tone goal. It looked all Parnell at the beginning of the second half, but the Wolfe Tones got their second wind and became busy. Almost in the dark they went at the boys in green hammer and tongs. The game ended 4 to 3 in favor of thei ‘Wolfe Tones. The gate receipts wulbe’ turned over to the language fund of the Gaelic League. Following are the players: Volte Tones—McEnerney (captain), J.

San Francisco Headquarters: 224 PARROTT BUILDING (Fifth Floor), 8556 MARKET STREET, Phane South 1845, | Oakland Branch : { ROOM 8, 115534 WASHINGTON STREET. | A GANARD! | Because my ONE-BEST-BET did not happen to make a winning showing for the week end- ing Saturday, a rumor spread about town Sat- urday night that the bookmakers had reached me. The story spread like the smell of fire, and about dinnmer time was the main tople of conversation in the Palace Hotel Caf the lobby of the St. Francis Hotel, Techau's Tav- ern, the Poodle Dog, and other well-kpown public places where my clients are wont to | congregate. | Tt the silly wag who originated the yarn | had stopped to tHink he would never have | sprung it. There is as much chance of “Gen- eral Jack Hornaday being reached by the akers as there i3 for the mountains to come down out of the clouds or the rivers to run back to their fountains. The story is perfect moonshine. and, needless to add, is all carved out of the carver's brain. Elimtnating all question of my horesty, how much do you think the bookmakers couid af- ford to pay me as a bribe? I am spendin | per week in advertising alone, and have over 500 clients residing in twenty States. | The racing season here Iaats nearly six months, | Do you think\they could afford to pension me | for that time ‘at a price I would be expected k? For surely I would lose my clients | 30 fast that my advertising would practically | be & dead loss. And would they have any in- centlve to continue pay me, when, after a short period of time, the number of my fol- lowers had dwindled to a_small and continually | declining number of listless players? | _Think it over! The only way I can maks money is by furnishing winners at good prices, and the common eremy is the bookmaker. | MY RECORD! | _Again. if you look over my record, which T | reproduce here in full this morning, of every { horse given by me as my daily ONE-BEST- | BET since the beginning of the meeting, you {‘will find tbat only one horse named by me week out of six finished worse than sec. | ond: and that twicé, in the cass of MILITARY { MAN on Tuesday and CLA on Thursday, | T was nosed out of first money. | Agam, it you consult my complete record 1 you will find that every se- published below, | lection that I have given since the beginning | of the meeting as my ONE-BEST-BET has been backed down at the track. If I were in league with the bookmakers and was touting my clients daily on a “stiff” the price would £o_saliing—wouldn't it? | . How anybody but the rawest kind of & | “come on'" could swallow that yarn Is beyond me. The story may owe its origin to an Ill-con- cealed attempt of the bookmakers themselves to prepossess the public against the best tip- ster that ever came over the pike. They ecer- tainly aren’t in love with the man that has 80 successfully waged war against them. For over two decades, through medium of such well-known plungers as urg Phil,” the late Wi *. Whitn, teve I'Hommedieu, Riley deon, John Daly, Jesse Lewisohn and pthers, T have consistently and persistently “nfilked”” them of the money b gathered f what is currently ‘sucker bettors,”” and | they have as much love for me as an East- erner has for a California flen. I admit that my ONE-BEST-BET record last week was simply rotten. I am ashamed of it! It's the bummest looking showing [ have made since the days T clocked Longfe low in his morning workouts down in Lexing. d that was nearly a quarter of a cen go. If 1 could not maks that record like the froth on a glass of stale beer I wonld quit touting and become & tamale e MY ONE-BEST-BET Of 22 starters given as my ONE-BEST-BET since the beginnifig of the Oakland meetis November 12, i1, or 50 per cent, finished first: 6, or 27 per cent finished second; 2, or 9 per cent, finished third; 3, or 1% per cent, finished unplaced.

However, as indicated in the foreword of this advertisement, [ can beat last week's showing by a city block. It was the first week out of four that a flat bet made a losing. If the bookmakers had a full idea of what my ONE-BEST-BET has in store for them every day this week, they would all “take to the tail and uncut.” Mest of them are filled with apple juice and conceit and will have on tap to-day a hogshead of Dutch courage. The | brices that they will lay against my ONE- t BEST-BET will make your head swim. They | think they have got K. beaten to a pulp. But watch me cut loose!
