R ASE Bearcatc/zer B;:hind ! Jake Sanders at the Finish. BY FRED E. MULHOLLAND. Red Leaf, the plain looking little chestnut mare from the stable of Keene Brothers, ridden by Herman Radtke, lightweight of the half-dozen starters, furnished a bitter argument in the Lissak handicap, over a mile, de- cided yesterday at Oakland. It was only gafter a long and an ex- citing drive with victory looking to rest with: one, then the other, that Proper, the giant representative of the Jen- nings stable, piloted by ‘Big Bill' Knapp, and shouldering 122 pounds, finally won by the shortest of heads, Less than two lengths back Jake Sanders, ridden finished third. Bear- catcher, the top weight, couldn’t get out of his own way. Lubin's race was too bad to be true. The Lissak was worth $2820 to the winner, and being one of the real clas- sic numbers of the racing season, at- tracted a large attendance to the course over the bay. The betting favored Proper, although his price did recede from 3 to 2 to 2. TRACK IS HEAVY AND SLOW. The track was heavy and slow. Still the admirers of Besrcatcher played the brown horse down from 3 to 13 to 5, disappointed them fearfully. support, but i Lubin appeared friendless. Both Proper and Bearcatcher were nervous and fidgety at the post, and when ders was not straight and Lubin, too, got "off poorly. Deutschland led for half a mile, then gave up the leading position to the favorite. Entering the stretch Radtke ture of the race. RADTKE LOSES HIS WHIP. Below the eighth pole shé swerved into Proper, and about the same time Radtke lost his whip. The bumping did not hurt Proper, for it was like a tugboat colliding with a battleship. Had Radtke a whip the last few yards he might have snatched victory from the coals. Propet, however, did not waver, and with the crowd shout- ing itself hoarse passed the judges first by a head. Knapp received a mild ova- tion on returning to the stand. Public choices were successful in three essays. Grace G was the longest priced winner of the afternoon. Grace G, an Albert filly, which was pur- chased for a song by Jones & Lusk from Dick Williams, defeated a smart bunch of youngsters in the baby race, at three and a half furlongs. She was ridden by Knapp and, a 13 to 1 chance in the ring, closed with a rush on the outside, beating the pacemaker, Humada, four lengths. Barney Schrelber's crack filly Marion Roge, the 8 to 5 choice, had to tramp through some deep going on the rail, and eventually lost the show to Clements. CHOICES OUTSIDE THE MONEY. All three choices, Byronerdale, Hooli- gan and Fastoso, finished outside of the money in the mile and three-sixteenths selling fixture, the deep condition of the track militating against their chances. Dixie Lad, a 6 to 1 chance, with Teddy Robinson in the saddle, overhauled Dusty Miller before the stretch had been reached, winning in a romp. Bonar, backed from 10 to 6, ran third behind Dusty Miller. Angleta, the Schreiber entry, was scratched from the five-furlong selling scrambie, and the wise division unload- ed on Elack Art. The sprinter from the Gwin stable acted right at home in the deep footing, breezing home four lengths in advance of Lily Golding, a 3 to 1 shot. Laura F. M. came fast at the end,’ only droppirg the place by a nose. Procrastinate ran a tame race for Wright, DARGIN NEARLY LEFT. Had he not been pounds the best, tha coin wagered on Dargin to take the fifth, a six-furlong run, would have been bLurned up. The Sain horss propped at the start with Clark, and was almost left. Gradually wearing down the leaders, he finished three lengths ahead of Salable at the wire, Tim Hurst ran third. As a piece of racing hardware, Grass- cutter is a _most uncertain - quantity. The fast filly received a yast amount of support at scant odds to win the final Futurity course spin for . three-year- olds, and ran last. She seemed in pos- session of all her speed for part of tho Tenordale, the mount of Radtke, back- to--5, assumed charge entering ghe stretch and won as she pleased from Cock Sure and Ebel Thatcher. NOTES OF THE TRACK. Thirty bookmaking firms chalked up odds in the ring. This number does not include the three field books. Knapp and Teddy Robinson each rode two winners.

McLOUGHLIN SHOWS HIS OLD TIME FORM Wins Honors in First Class of the Park Tennis Tournament. The boys of the Golden Gate Junior Tennis Club met in a class singles ten- nis toutnament yesterday on the park courts. The first class was the only one of the three completed and the honors went to Maurice McLoughlin, the club champion. .McLoughlin was called upon to allow his classmates ‘odds of 3-6 and he won with compara- tive ease. In the last tournament of this kind McLoughlin was beaten, but he played a much better game yester- day and never was in danger of los- ing. The youthful champion plays a clever game for a youngster and will undoubtedly develop into a ciamplon. In the ‘second class play was com- pleted to the semi-finals, the successful players being C. Axelrod, W. Patterson, C. Sonntag and W. Marcus. The pre- liminary and first rounds of the third class were completed. The best maich of the day was the finals’ of the first class. Harold Getz, winner of the last tournament, ‘and McLoughlin were the contestants. With the small handicap allowed him Getz made a creditable showing, but was not clever enough to down the cham- plon. McLoughlin drove spendidly and his overhead work was remarkable for a youngster. Getz did his best and managed to win the second set. He also made a good showing In the final set, losing it by a small margin. In the early rounds R. Strachan and H. Guerin, of whom much was expacted, were beaten easily by McLoughlin. Two of the matches in the second class were close and interesting, while. the other two were one-sided. W. Pat- terson and Midget John Strachan fig- ured In a hard-fought match. After making a poor showing In the first set Strachan played a good uphill game and was beaten by a small margin. _ Axelrod and Bernstein played -a three-set match. The former lost the first set, but pulled out the next two handily. C. Sonntag and W. Marcus were easy winners over D. Easton and B. Brough respectively. ¢ Thirty-six players competed i third class and an unusual numl close matches resulted: lroll‘owlng are the results of the play: : _First class—M. McLoughlin (o1 beat R.

Jack Welch, ‘Harry €orbett, Eddle Graney, George Harting and other seas- | oned ring goers, pronounced the work of ; i the Baltimore man the most finished ever seen here. Gans is apparently the last representative of the old school of fight- |ers who were at once clever boxers and hard hitters. His left eye was damaged in the fifth round and reduced his efficiency some- what. He said after the fight he thought he could have won in the eighth round had the injury not spoiled his judgment of distance, He had one of his seconds cut the wound under the eye with a pocket knife to prevent ¥ closing entirely. The wound this rough and ready operation caused would kave given a surgeon a ner- ousv chill, €ans leaves for Baltimore this morning, but will return as soon as he can arrange some business matters. To show his in- | tention of returning he purchased a round- | trip ticket. This will probably set the | majority of the young men in the light- weight business singing that song en- titled: “If yohse coming back Babe, I'se ‘golnx to leave home.” Gans is probably the best card before | the public to-day and the promoters have already commenced to look up opponents for him. He had a long conference last night with Manager Jim Coffroth. The latter wants to bring Gans and Britt to- gether next month. If Gans should win efforts will then be made to bring him- | self and Nelson together on July 4 in the open air at Colma, where pictures could be taken. It is expected Manager Nolan will draw the color line firmly, but politely, as he does not want a pos- sible defeat to injure Nelson's drawing | power as a theatrical star. When Gans réaches Baltimore he may be called upon to explain some testimony he gave recently when his wife wanted a divorce, with alimony. At that time his plea was that he was “all in” as a fighter and was no longer able to earn a livelihood in the ring. How he can reconcile this statement with the pub- lished accounts of his fight with Sullivan remains to Be seen. Few of the spectators on Friday night appreciated how near they came to wit- nessing a tragedy. When Sullivan was knocked down the lower rope of the ring prevented his head striking - thé bare boards just outside the padded ring. Had this not breken the force of his fall he would have been severely injured. e e JOE GANS IS GRATEFUL. Looks Ferward w to a Match With 3 Britt or Nelson. Joe Gans gave out the following in- genuous letter last night for publica- tion: “I wish to thank the public from the bottom of my heart for the confldence displayed before and during my battle with Twin Sullivan. I also desire to thank the newspapers for fair treat- | ment accorded me, despite the harsh criticisms that have been showered on me by various persons. But it Is to Kddie Graney that I owe my chance to redeem myself, and I can never repay him for what he has donme for me. I offered him half my purse, but he re- fused to accept it. When I went to his blacksmith sbhop and appealed to him to stand by me because everybody had given me the cold shoulder and friends were few he said: ‘Joe, I'll do this if you will be honest and fight on the square.’ I gave this promise and that I carried it out is shown by my decisive victory over one of the best welter- weights in the world. “L want to say at this time that I have fought ten battles in San Fran- eisco, and have never lost one. From now on I shall fight on the level. The public has condemned me at various times and called me unkind names be- cause, knowing as they did my ability as @ boxer, they deemed that I was un- conpquerable. It is a strange thing, but a fact, that a colored boxer and a white boy engaged in battling for money are two different mortals. A white boy iIs lcoked upon as an idol and is never under suspicion until he actually com- mits a mistake In the ring, whereas a colored boy is not only under suspicion, but because he is a colored man is given the worst of it and must fight ‘te orders.’ If I had not fought ‘to or- ders’ in the past I would not have been matched, and therefore could not have earned a livelinood with my fists. I merely make this statement, not as an excuse for what I have done in the past, because I have blotted that all out by my last victory, and from now on will always strive to win, not only for myself, but for my many friends and admirers. “T have fought Jimmy Britt and de- feated him—just as Battling Nelson did. As it seems an impossibility for Britt to arrange a match with Nelson I will give him a chance. I will box Britt at 133 pounds, weigh In at § o'clock, winner take all or any of the money or any way Britt desires. It Britt refuses to accent this challenge I will’take Nelson on just as soon as his theatrical engagements will permit and fight him under the same condi- tions. “To show my good faith I am ready and willing to place the sum of $2500 in the hands of Harry Corbett, Eddie Graney or any other ble referee to bind the match and to carry out this agreement. “I am going back to Baltimore on a short visit to settle my business and will come back immediately. It i1s my desire to fight in , and I nave _been prom the date by the nagers.

Let them put up enough and we can do business.” Britt was asked how mueh would be a sufficient inducement. but he re- fused to name a figure. He Intimated that the amount would have to be large enough to be more than ordinarily tempting. “Money talks,” he said: “let them make their offer. I am open to.argu- ment If they argue with the dollar mark In sight.” Asked as to his declaration that be would draw the color line absolutely he replied that it would take a big purse before he would withdraw that, but asserted candidly that it is money he is after.
