PLUNGER YEAGER SCHOOLMATE DEFEATS HONITON FOR Winner Is Ridden by Dav and Nearly Equals a Coast Record. ISHTAR AT LONG ODDS Sir Wiltred Captures the Kindergarten Event in | Commanding Fashion. § AR BY FRED E. MULHOLLAND, “Kansas” Price, who watches selling | races as a cat does a mouse, in search of sweet singers swinging idly in their ! * cages, turned loose a tartar in the mile | and seventy yard handicap yesterday at Oakland. His Wadsworth® gelding Schoolmate appeared for the first time in California | 100 dressed in his best, and, handling the | 106 pounds assigned him with the ease that a monkey es cocoanuts, de- | feated the favorite, Honiton, by half ( a length. The latter mare shouldered | top weight, 118 pounds, and ran a re- | markably good race, even though | beaten somewhat handily at the finish. Travers took her out in the lead and as the track was still somewhat heavy the riders invariably picked a course fully fifteen feet from the rail. Und the adverse conditions she lost by less than a length in 1:443, within halt a second of the coast record. SCHOOLMATE WELL HANDLED. The winner, Schoolmate, perfectly ridden by W. Davis, was never worse than third and had the first choice at his mercy when the stretch was| veached. Ara ran an indifferent third. Magrane showed a twinkle of eurly' speed and Stilicho made no | showing whatever. As good as 10 to 1 could be had about the winner. Favorite players again spent an un- easy session, for the “baby” racer Sir Wiifred, a 7 to 10 chance, alone won brackets. Handy Bill, Budd Wade, Redan and Ishtar, In addition to Schoolmate, dropped in at lengthy quo- tations. Handy Bill made a show of Del Carina, the 13 to 20 favorite for the, opening seven furlong selling number. T'here was a genteel play on BIill at 4 and 5 to 1, and with Willie Daly up he led from start to finish. The favor- ite disposed of Baker by three lengths for the place. The other starters were outclassed At his second essay D. Cameron’s Sir Wilfred made good. The son of Ossary and Plumeria went to the post a 7 to 10 choice and spreadeagied his field. Soledad, the Napa Stock Farm entry, piloted by Bullman, held the balance | of the field safe, leading out Abe Meyer half a length for place honors. Dora Gentry beat the barrier, leading for about a sixteenth of a mile. BUDD WADE WINS BY A NOSE. Both of the choices, Lady Kent and The Lieutenant, finished behind Budd Wade in the mile selling affair. The stable connections were sweet on Budd yesterday and turned loose their money | with lavish hand in the ring. He had O. Chandler in the saddle, and, after looking an easy winner a furlong from home. only downed Lady Kent, the pacemaker, the shortest kind of a head. The Lieutenant finished a distant third. Molto, a backed outsider, dis- played some early speed, but can’'t beat this kind. Bullman anded the Futurity course sprint, fifth to be decided, with Redan, an 8 to 1 outsider in the betting. He got the sprinter away sailing and, never in_ difficulties, breezed in ahead of Joe Frey and Royal White, two other neglected ones. Peter J, the fa- vorite, couldn’t run fast enough to se a scrape. Berendos did not get way from the barrier. Rector, favorite, and Padua, second choice, finished last and next to that obhorred position, respectively, in the abhorred position, respectively, in the Bride, astride Ishtar, a 15 to 1 shot, led almost from the start, winning cleverly by a length from Judge and Little ‘Wally. Travers, on Rector, got away poorly and could not break through the blockade. Jones made a fine mess of it with Padua. e TRACK NOTES. ‘Weights for the Follansbee handicap, to be run on Saturday, were assigned . yesterday.

MAY WIN HIGH HONORS Californian Looms Up as Favorite for Championship Honors in Na- tional Tournament. CHICAGO, Jan. 4—W. K. Wright of San Francisco has loomed up as favorite for championship honors in the coming national amateur billiard tourney, which begins at the Chicago Athletic Association tfie last of thig month. The Californian is being picked to capture the event by many prominent players and critics. . H. Sigourney, the crack San Francisco player, is the latest to men- tion Wright. In a letter to Colonel Hamburger, chairman of the commit- tee in charge of the event, he sayy Wright, if in his best form, will prove the star of the tourney, whether he wins or not, hecause his style of play proves most magnetic to lovers of bil- liards. { Bob R vs. ————— JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jan. 4.—The Gen- eral Assembly was called to order to-day.

In limiting falls to an hour's dura- tion in the Jack Carkeek-Tom Jen- kins match for the world’s catch-as- catch-can championship at Wood- ward’s Pavilion next Tuesday night, Manager Levy has struck a popular chord. The wrestlers maintain that there is little doubt that the time lim- it will be pressed, but the knowledge that sixty minutes will be practieal- ly wasted if no fall ensues will serve to make action liveller. Carkeek is master of the catchlas-catch-can game and has never been beaten”at it since he gained the championship belt. He has never met Jenkins; who admits this to be his best style, so the combat should be deubly interesting. —_—— Nelson Drops Manager Murphy.

The matter was brought forcibly home to the Olympic Club last Friday night when Sam Berger, one of its ‘members, took part in one of these af- fairs. The directors .have. sufficient evidence before them to warrant drop- Berger from -the membership roll. When he was elected a regular member it was with the understanding that he would hand the secretary his written resignation. This was to be used at the option of the directors. Jimmy Britt presented the same form of resignation when he was elected. In his case he is an avowed professional, while Berger is charged with sailing under false colors. The directors will act on Berger’s case to- morrow night. The fight promoting clubs have been making big money out of the young boys who make up the major portion of their cards. The receipts at three of these affairs recently were respec- tively $2900, $3200 and $3600. The boys are paid a mere pittance, while the managers pocket big profits. Although it was given out on Tues- day that Gans and Jimmy Gardner were to meet here at 133 pounds at 6 o'clock, these figures were amended yesterday to read 136 at 6 o’clock. It is known Gans would have difficulty in touching the lightweight Ilimit. Gardner is said to be no better off, as he 13 a big, rangy young fellow, who is growing rapidly. After Gans' poor showing with Britt the promoters are taking a chance on the attitude the public will assume when he ,appears again. There will surely be little betting until Herford declares with which man he wants to win. Possibly they should be coupled in the betting, His friends openly boasted after the Britt fight that it was originally intended that Jimmy should win, but the Baltimore mamp!- lator thought there would be more money in the betting to have Gans win and Gans did win. After the “fight” Gans told one man he could have beaten Britt in one round, while to another he confided he ed a permit to the United Rallroads to | could have beaten him with one hand change the present steam railroad from | tied behind him. California street and Ceneral avenue to the Cliff House into an overhead electric system over the same route. Mrs. Emma L. Merritt, executrix of the Sutro estate, withdrew her previous protest against the granting of the permit. Mrs. Merritt objected to a double track on the Sutro property, but City Engineer Woodward reported that so far as the franchise for that portion of the road is concerned it ap- pears to be optional with the owners whether it is to have a single or double track. The franchise for the road be- tween Parker and First avenues ex- pires in 1929 and the right to use elec- tricity thereon will be secured from the Supervisors. The franchise between First avenue and the beach will ex- pire in 1911. It is understood that work on the reconstruction of the road will begin at once, all the material being on_hand. The Supervisors’ Street Committee later recommended a resolution grant- ing the United Railroads permission to use electricity on that portion of the rcad on California street between Par- ker and First avenues. The committee also favored the use of Iron poles on the system. 5 The board ordered grades to changed on Fulton street from Twenty- fifth avenue to Thirty-seventh avenue. Provision in the budget was made for the expenditure of $15,000 for the im- provement of Fulton street from Twen- ty-fifth avenue to the Great Highway. Even a nearsighted man can see Gardner's finish if the Baltimore fireater is sent in to fight and not to tfake. The public which patronizes these exhibitions will have to take its chances as to what it will see. —_——————— SCHOOLS' NEEDS FOR SANITARY REPAIRS Supervisor d’Ancona and Director Roncovieri Visit Several Build- ings to Take Notes.

During the day they were vis- ited by a representative of the famous Newport, Ky., track, and were in re- ceipt of a telegram from P. J. Car- mody of St. Louls, stating the St. Louls courts had set aside the recent sale of Union track and offering his support in case he and his associates regained con- trol of the course. The significance attached to this de- sire on the part of outside racing asso- ciations to assist Corrigan, Devereaux, ‘Winn, Respess and others in the fight tends to show that sympathy may play a part in the coming clash of the West- ern Jockey Club tracks and the new circuit that will undeniably be formed to oppose them. During the conference, which lasted all day and well into the evening, Mr. Nolan of Cincinnati made his appear- ance in the interest of the famous out- law Newport track, last conducted by John J. Ryan of “get-rich-quick™ no- toriety. Mr. Nolan addressed Mr. Corrigan in person and immediately began to in- quire as to the prospects of the New- port track being taken into the new cir- suit among others. Corrigan told No- lan he wanted nothing to do with New- port at any stage of the game, and those present voiced his sentiments. Nolan persisted, but his attempt for recognition was futile and he went away discouraged. Corrigan and the men who are fight- ing for the rights with him refrained from divulging their immediate plans. — “PITTSBURG PHIL” IS ILL.
