BETTER SPORT 15 PRONISED Many Excellent Performers at Oakland Are Awaiting Fast Track to Race Over HANDICAPS THIS WEEK To Muddy Going Can Be At- tributed Most Reversals of Form—Schreiber in Lead ‘With a fast track to run over, there ghould be an improvement in the caliber of the racing at Oaklapd. A changeable ! track was ever responsible for many re- | versals in form, and queer looking races. It is an easy matter to eriticise, but it is a difficult problem.ip solve the per- { formances of some horses. Bookmakers will take liberties with a horse, thenjup | bobs the owrer with a stack of tickels and a regiment of affidavits even, incon- trovertible proof that he bet on the animal. The owners of Wrenne thought ' the three-year-old a certainty to win the final race on the card last Saturday. It i1s a pretty well established fact that one bookmaker made a mask of the horse for the show. The result indicated that the layer knew more than the owner. On the same day the price about Tocolaw, sec- | ond cholce for the Kisber handicap, was carried to the skles, and the big sprinter | ran an absurdly bad race. On Thursday last, Iem Reed finished third in a race for which he opened an § to & favorite, and the smoke has not cleared away yet. The Harbor-Orchan race of Saturday will take some airing, and there are others that could be mentioned. Racing at best is hazardous, and a changeable, nmuddy track makes. it doubly so. The optimistically inclined will trust that a cessation of rain may afford relief. An attractive programme has been arranged for this week. Several han- dicaps that will bring together the best horses here are on the card. Tomorrow the feature will be the King Ban handicap for three-year-olds and upward over the Futurity course. The Warwick handicap with a value of $1000 will be the attraction Wednes- day. It is for three-year-olds and up- ward at one mile. Saturday the events to be decided call for $3300 in purses. The feature will be the Favonius handlcap with a value of $1200. It will be at a mile and a quarter for three-year-olds and up- ward. The cream of the handicap class will appear. The same day there will be a race at a mile and a half. Barney Schreiber will soon reach the $35,000 mark, as he has retained a num- ber of good Performers to carry his col- ors.

The clever Eastern boxers who will, strive to lower the colors of California’s . finest in the big tournament on Wednes- ' day, Thursday and Friday nights, in Me- Golden Gate Park, the beach and the i seals yesterday morning. The wonders of the city appeal to a boxer as they do to the ordinary tourist, and for the time be- | ing the lads of the mitts forgot all about the coming fistic struggles. Bright and early yesterday morning, after a hearty breakfast, they all climbed | on a cax, chaperoned by Roger B. Cornell and other notables from the Olympic Club. Off they got at the panhandle and then the brigade started to hit it up toward the highway to the great and | broad Pacific. It was a swagger looking | flock of athletes that whirred along the | flower bordered paths and every one who could stand the pace for a while swung in with the party, which was the main event in park and beach circles yesterday morning. After the run to the beach and the look and othey wonders, the boxers wended their way to the Post-street gym. Here they had a rubdown and luncheon. In the afternoon the boys got busy in the gymnasium and whiled away the time with the padded mitts, punching bag and other toys that were handy. EASTERN MEN PRACTICE. It was on the card for the Easterners to make a pilgrimage to Larkspur, the stronghold of the winged “O” fighting crowd. But for some reason this trip was abandoned and the visitors remained at the Olympic Club, doing light work all afternoon and occaslonally handshaking some new admirer. All trains leading to Larkspur were loaded to the guards yesterday afternoon. It seemed eyery one In the city wanted to get a glimpse of the winged “O” talent now in training at the pretty Marin County resort. - The weather was entieing and conditions perfect for the outing and this was also responsible for attracting some of those present, Many of the bright lights of the club made the journey, including President Willlam Greer Harrison and Director Paul Cowles. The gym of the training quarters wag crowded to the suffoca- tion point and it was necessary to lock the doors on some of the amxious brigade before the fun commenced. The boys were trotted into the gym, six at a time. They would punch the bag, skip the rope, pull the welghts and perform various other stunts to the de- light of the crowd. There was not a single dull moment during the afternoon and all the spectators felt they were hav- ing a regular picnic as the scrappers tore at each other.
