P LA LR Fisher Boy Leads; i Out Head Dance at Finish L R BY FRED E. MULHOLLAND. Walter Jennings scratched his recent purchase San Nicolas, and sent the Co- lumbla stable representative, Graziallo, out collecting in the Futurity course handicap yesterday at Oakland. The |dark bay horse at last exhibited a ispeck of his dear old Broadway form, i running rings around the other four starters and galloping In more than two lengths ahead of Princess Titania 13 1:09%, within a quarter of a second of the | record. Fireball sputtered away in the lead for two-thirds of the trip and then went out, finishing third. Because of his very ordinary performances in previous races the ring laid 8 and 9 to 1 about the win- ner. - STORMA, LONG SHOT, SCORES. Favorites again succeeded in holding their own, three purses falling to short priced horses. The attendance was laige { and betting brisk. Storma, & &0 to 1 shot, ridden by Rettig, took the opening five and a half furlong run for mares. Her odds were backed down to 3 and, after leading all the way, | she downed Ethel Barrymore less than a length! With a more vigorous finisher up the latter could not have lost. Me- ringue, the favorite, ran third. Harry Stover's Pimkim, an 8 to § chance, ran away with the baby event, | stepping off the half mile in :483,. Elota, from Tommy Griffin's stable, beat Kogo a head for the place. When there is a paucity of early speed Esherin looms up as a first-class plater. Les Coggins' mare ruled a mild favorite for the mile and fifty yard run, and it proved only a gallop for her. Knapp | brought Major Tenny from the rear, beating Jackfull out of place honors. FISHER BOY A HANDY WINNER. A mile apparently suits Head Dance far better than the additional sixteenth he was asked to go yesterday in the fifth race on the card. { Charley Henshall's 4-year-old opened an even money chance, but the price length- ened out when heavy plunges were made on Fisher Boy and Massa. Tommy Clark had Head Dance in front for seven fur- longs, when Liloyd Fountain passed him with Fisher Boy, winning easily in 1:46%. Goodchild on Massa rode a ridiculous race, letting his mount fall a city block out of the running. Under such adverse conditions the gelding finished a strong third. . Things didn’t look so rosy for Arestal- | lator, the even money favorite in the | betting on the last race, at one stage of the proceedings, but he won easily at the finish. La Chata had a world ot speed, but grew dizzy the last sixteenth, and closing with a rush the first choice led the Baldwin fllly out, with consider- | able in reserye. Fulletta gathered the show. NOTES OF THE TRACK. L. Williams rode two winners, the day’s record. Dr. J. Grant Lyman, the wealthy New York turfman, who has a big string of | horses at Ascot Park, was a spectator at Oakland yesterday. Lacene and Full Sway, owned by Denny Bros., will reach Oakiand from | Los Angeles to-day. The former filly | is an Oaks candidate. Harry Stover offered Oswald Bfanchi $2500 for Viola B yesterday. Nothing stirring. The sime owner also refused an offer of 33500 made by W. W. Elliott for | Tawasentha, the stable companion of Viola B. It would appear that there was+ no | foundation for the published report from Los Angeles that the Willlams stable was in bad odor at Oscot Park. | Dick Willlams received a telegram from Manager Brooks yesterday in | which the latter said that the Williams | stable was in good standing and the Ascot Park management regretied Its going away. PRESIDIO GOLF CLUB I IN PROSPEROUS CONDITION Income From Dues Suffices to Pay Run- ning Expenses and Organization Is Free From Debt. The first annual report of the Pr eidio Golf Club, which took over the course and clubhouse on the military reservation when the San Francisco Goif and Country Club moved out to Ingleside, has been issued to the mem- bers. The club began with thirty-one mem- bers. It now has fifty-three regular members, with fifteen names on the roll of lady and junior members. The hand some and convenient clubhouse has been rented for five years at a most moderate monthly rental, the lockers and other fixtures being purchased from the San Francisco Golf and Coun- try Club. The relations with the mili- tary authorities are most friendly and cordial. The council expresses its ap- preciation of gifts contriduted to the furnishing of the clubhouse iy many of the members. The club is free from debt and fits income suffices to pay Its running ex- penses. Thne expenditures for the work on the grounds near the clubhouse and in furnishing the clubhouse have been paid. The receipts from initiation fees, amounting to $1237 50, were expended on the furniture and fixtures in the clubhouse, while $1161 received from monthly dues and green fees went in rent for five months, salaries, main- tenance of the clubhouse and green and miscellaneous expenses, leaving a small balance. . < The council is made up of Bernard Faymonville, president; L.

COFFROTH SEEKS NELSON S SCALP Lightweight Champjon Has Made Fair Offer to Do 133 Pounds at Six 0’Clock EXMPLOC, 51 Special Dispatch to The Call. BOSTON, Jan. 30.—There was nearly a clash to-day when the two leading light- welghts of the country, Battling Nelson and Champlon Joe Gans, met. Manager Billy Nolan was with Nelson. Gans told Nolan he wanted to know If he would let Nelson fight him. Nolan replied: ““When you show me that you can make 133 pounds at the ringside by fighting two or three battles I will consider letting Nel- son fight you.” “I'll put my money up,”’ replied Gans, “to make 133 pounds at 6 o'clock, and that should satisfy you. How much guar- antee do you want? Tam O'Rourke will give us §$15,000."" “Nelson would not fight for that,” re- plied Nolan. The sportsmen throughout the country who enjoy boxing will uphold Gans in his contention that 133 pounds at 6 o’clock is a fair weight for the men of the light- weight division. Gans has been for years the legitimate champion of that class and has conceded many pounds weight to op- ponents. If Nelgon is dodging a match with the Baltimore wonder he will have to find a better excuse than that of welght if he expects to be upheld by ring- goers. CINCINNATI, Ohio, Jan. 30.—Terry Me- Govern, who is here with a theatrical company, says that there is some doubt about the proposed fight between himself and Battling Nelson. If if ‘does take place and McGovern wins, he will take on Joe Gans. \ “I am after the championship,” he said, “and to get it T will have to beat Gans. 1 see no reason why I should not try con- clusions with him.” Ladies Postpone Golf Contest.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 30.—There have been scores of rumors about making “Lucky” Baldwin’s little city of Arcadia headquarters for sporting men, but nothing has as yet come of it. The latest report is that Morris Levy of San Francisco proposes to promote ?ugfllltlc contests there because owing 0 the peculiar legal conditions it would be impossible for the authorities to stop fights there. s Levy stated to-night that he had irons enough in the fire at home with- out looking for others in this sétion of the State. M. Lawrence, who manages Baldwin's business and particularly his sporting | business, declared to-night that Levy had not mentioned prizefighting to him and that there is “nothing doing” in that line now. Strange to say, Baldwin is not doing much to encourage the game. When, as a result of the present agitation which may close Los Angeles to pugil- | ists, Tom McCarey began looking about | for 'a place he investigated Arcadia. Baldwin wanted him to bufld his own pavilion, pay ground rent, pay a license to the “Mayor of Arcadia” (Baldwin) . BRIt b and contrib\ye ‘o other expenses. The | distance to Arcadia is such that fight | patrons could not hope to catch the . last car at night.

In Federal circles a question has arisen whethen, the administration 18 determined to inaygurate an economic war against Chinese importations into the United States, as a reprisal against the Chinese boycott on American goods, or whether there is a suspicion that oplum or dia- monds are being smuggled into this country under the guise of tea? Collector Stratton sald yesterday that he was unable to answer the question. All that he knew of the subject was that he had received a telegram from Acting Sec- retary of the Treasury Reynolds instruct. ing him to examine carefully each and every package of tea Imported from China into this port. Heretofore the cus- tom has been to examine one-tenth of each importation of tea. There is no duty on this article, but the law requires thath tea below a certain standard must be re= Jected and destroyed by the customs offi- cials or re-exported to soms other coun- try by the owners. Collector Stratton says that the carry- ing out of this order will congest all the space avallable in the Appraiser's build- ing and the Government warehouses. —————— OLERGYMAN BUYS A SALOON TO PUT IT OUT OF BUSINESS Fletcher, in the Territory of Oklahoma, Will Hecome a Prohibitiom Town.
