They have not been bread- |winners in the past and were it not | for Los Angeles and San Francisco a lot of money would have been lost. As the northern towns are in there is lit- tle possibility of their being side- tracked this year at least.

The joint faculty athletic committee 1(mm Stanford and the University of California has recently made recom- | mendations concerning changes in in- | tercollegiate athletics, which if adopt- | ed by the intercollegiate agreement | committee will greatly change the tone o future athletic games. The prin- | cipal change proposed is that no fresh- | man shali be allowed to participate in any athletic contest between Califor- ! nia and Stanford during his first year | in college. The faculty has two mo posing such an amendment to the present athletic agreement. The first is the ralsing of the stand- ards of first-year scholarship. It is maintained that athletics take up too much of the student's time. The | second motive of the faculty is based on entirely different reasons. Barring a freshman from athletics would, it is held, cut off that class of students wtlnch comes tto a university for the sole purpose of taking par: e i g part in varsity It is not probable that these recom- mendations will be accepted by the tives in prp- g possibility the league will | | a head. Fay Templeton took the show. | Spokane is anxious to cast its for- | 5 e |tunes with the Pacific Coast League | 0F Tuled an 8 to 5 favorite, and in a student bodies of the two universities. Too many good athletes would be lost and the competition for places on the ! varsity teams would not be so keen. Z)e proposed changes will be given hearing at the next meeting of the intercollegiate agreement committee, composed of Stanford and California graduates. —————— Accused of Slaying Twin Sister, RISING SUN, Ind., Dec. 14.—A jury | of sixteen men was sworn in the Ohic County court this afternoon to try James Gillespie, accused of the mur- clier lot his twin sister, Elizabeth Gil- esple. —— One-third of the land surface of the globe is covered with trees. / WITH Pretty and Exciting Finishl for Handicap at Track Across the Bay. ————r CHOICES OUT OF LUCK Red Cross Nurse Is Heavily Backed and Wins All the Way. | | | H ] | BY FRED E. MULHOLLAND. ‘ ‘When Frank Skinner’'s three-year-old | Bombardier, ridden by Henry Michaels, ( defeated Military Man, the 4 to 5 fa-' vorite a neck for the mile and seventy- yard handicap at Oakland yesterday, it was a staggering blow for the talent. For some reason the Ferguson colt had been “doped” a cinch, the books being bombarded with coin until by ! degrees the price was forced down | from 7 to 5. The heavy going fitted Bombardier like a glove and Michaels took him out | in front. Part of the way Helgesen was second with the favorite, then he found some deep going on the far turn and Little Wally took the second posi- tion. Helgesen selected the best foot- ing in the run to the stand, while Bom- bardier bore in to the rail where it was heaviest. Despite this handicap the latter colt stood a fierce drive, win- ning by a neck. Leila, badly handled, finished third, beaten but a neck and half a length, and should have won by herself. From twos the odds about Bombardier Soared to 16 to 6. 5 FAVORITES IN HARD LUCK. It is unnecessary to state that the favorites played in hard luck. Any time the track is good and bad in' patches, upsets may be expected. Dr. Sherman had the honor of being the only successful public choice. Bronze Wing started for the first time in the colors of Steve Judge and, with Helgesen in the saddle, went to the post a 7 to 10 favorite in the bet- ting on the opening event. The first choice cut out the running for nearly seven-eighths of a mile, when he was passed by “Big Bill” Knapp on Lady Kent and was befen somewhat hand- ily. Gin Spray, a 30 to 1 shot, finished a fast closing third. Carelessness on the part of his rider, W. Davis, lost the,two-year-old scram- ble for Golden Buck, the odds-on choice. Johnny Schorr’'s colt had shak- en off Fay Ttempleton an dapparently had the race in hand. Davis, however, failed to observe Ara closing strongly under Sam Greenfield's vigorous riding, and the decision went against him by Dr. Sherman came back after a night’s repose and grabbed the seven- furlong purse from Hipponax. The Doc- driving finish disposed of Hipponax by a meck. The latter horse led into the stretch, and only for some interference near the close might have won. Red Damsel, away.poorly, ran a good third. DECISION IS CLOSE. So close was the finish between Bell Reed and Alice Carey at the close of the Futurity course sprint, fifth to be decided, that quite a gathering mani- fested their disapproval by hooting the decision. There is no doubt that Alice Carey was best and should have won, but Alarie in the full exuberance of his joy at the thought of winning two days in succession tossed the money away. The judges probably did not err in giving Bell Reed, the mount of Sherwood, the verdict. Albemarle, the favorite, ran a fair third. The win- ner’'s odds under a stiff play dropped from 3 to 2% to 1. There are certain kinds of mud that Red Cross Nurse can run in, it would appear, and the right number was struck yesterday. With Sam Greenfield in the saddle, the mare galloped out in front all the way in the final mile and a sixteenth number, winning cleverly at the wire from Isabellita and Major Ten- ny, the latter the favorite. The winner received extensive support at odds.of 6 to 1. TRACK NOTES. ‘W. Davis has not been feeling well for a few days and his manager, Wil- lie Harris, has decided not to allow him to accept any outside mounts for a week or so. This will confine his saddle work to the Jennings stable alone. Sammy Greenfield was the only rid- er to pilot two winners. Arisbe, the crack filly Napa Stock Farm, makes her start of the season to-day. W. Davis, who rode Golden Buck, got away from the post poorly and then after having the race won threw it away. ] H Bookmaker Joe Harlan ‘handled | $17,000 on the six races. This looks as If there was some money in the ring. The fusillade of Tuesday was too severe for five books, as but eighteen cut in yesterday. Some layers are imbued with the idea that every day should be a winning one. These wouldn't do to mix up In the Law- son-Greene-Rockefeller frenzied fin- ance scrap. “Big Bill" Knapp, who piloted Hip- ponax, lodged a claim of foul against W. Davis. rider of Dr. Sherman. The Judges refused to consider it, but nine out of ten close observers think Dr. Sherman should have been disquali- | fied. Bronze Wing has finished second on seven different occasions this season. The yearlings bred at Theodore ‘Winter’s Rancho del Sierras will be sold by Chase & Co. on December 19. Red Cross Nurse, winner of the last event, was bid up from $400 to $800 by Billy Magrane. " Molero & Josephs retained their mare. The colors of “Kansas” Price will be seen for the first time when Sweet Kitty Bellairs goes to the post this afternoon. —~h o : TO ADVERTISERS.

It's the congratulations my friends I am looking for. I will say in advance that there will be no com- | plaint from me if Nelson gains the ver- dict. If such should be the outcome of \ the fight he beats me at my best.” ! Every one around Camp Britt is sat- {isfled with the turn affairs have taken. “Spider” Kelly declares modestly that James never worked like this in his life before. Frank Rafael can swear he was never hit so hard by any boxer, \ while “Tiv" Kreling is sure Jimmy gets rougher and tougher every time they come together in the period of rough- { and-tumble that comes off each day. The spectdtors increase in numbers right along. Yesterday there was a mob present, and it was hard work to | keep the gymnasium cleared for action. The crowd took on an enthusiastic at- titude, and a volume of applause greet- ed Britt and his sparring mates after each round they reeled off in record | time. Jimmy put Rafael down in the third | spasm of their little mixup. He landed a right and a left on the jaw while forcing Frank around the ring, and the latter could not keep his feet am in- stant longer. It was a spirited mixup and both were perspiring and dishev- eled after it was over. The go with Kreling contained the usual amount of hugging and wrestling, and Jimmy managed to maul the stocky little wrestler around and keep him going all the time. After going through his gymnasium | work Jimmy jumped on the scales and the beam tipped exactly at 134} pounds. He says the plunge in the surf takes off half a pound each day, besides hardening the skin and acting as an all- around tomic. Britt never misses two daily dips, and there is always a crowd on hand to see him make the daring plunge. |7 *I am having quite a time to keep a couple of pounds above the mark,” saild Britt. “I drink all the liquids I want, including a bottle and a half of porter before retiring each night. I don’t feel i like getting down too fine yet, for I like | to have a few pounds leeway. If neces- sary I can be at weight at a few hours’ notice, so no one need have any fears on that score, as weight is the easiest thing I am up against.” Battling Nelson is still grinding away for his coming battle with Britt. A large crowd of sporting men journeyed to the camp yesterday to watch the Dane work. All were greatly pleased with his condition. Young Mitchell and some friends were among those present. Bat went through his usual gym- nasium stunts and then boxed a few rounds each with Eddie Santry and “Stockings” Kelly. “Rawhide,” as Kelly is now called, was cautious of Bat, as he doesn't wish to see another vision of his future home. In the morning Nelson, accompanied by Marvin Hart and Eddie Santry, took a tramp to the summit of Mount Tamalipais. Hart is working for a pros- pective fight with Kid McCoy. After a brisk rubdown Nelson weighed 132% pounds.” He seems to be in the pink of condition and wishes the ‘date of the fight was nearer. ———— Britt a Strong Favorite. The first bets on the Britt-Nelson fight were recorded yesterday. Britt opened a strong 8 to 10 choice. From the volume of money offered on him it is expected these odds will be ham- mered down quickly until they may tcuch 1 to 2. Britt will have a large following, while Nelson, being a com- parative stranger here, will be backed chiefly by those who like a long shot. e e-———— OLYMPIANS PLAY SEVERAL LIVELY HANDBALL GAMES Levy Beats Russ and Young Kroger Takes Two Straight Games From Stratford.
