News comes from Napa that the
spreckels string, being trained there by
G. Mulkey, is in fine condition. Cadmus
is better than ever, and 1t is expected
that he will sweep everything before
him at the state fair and give all the
fasteners who come to the Jockey club
meeting great argument.
Piquante is also showing wonderful
speed, and her owner will be surprised
if she fails to gather in most OF the
events in which she starts.
Frank Burke is acknowledged to be
the ehrewdest horseman in California.
That he is we'll entitled to the reputa-
ton those who keep q close watch on
turf matters are aware. There are a
few who hold that B. @. Holly is his
peer, but when it comes down to cold
blooded schsming which attracts NO
attention Burke ia entitled to the
medal. He won barrel of money last
year on Wandering Nun and he is ready
to repeat the trick now. The report has
been published that the great FLY has
been drawing milk wagon. II she has
it has done her no harm, for she is in
the finest possible fettle and will come
near beating everything she hits, no
matter how high their class.
The Post says: The California book
makers who went east few weeks ago
are returning home, short in cash but
rich in experience. Friday Mr.. Brady
arrived in San Francisco, looking as
bright and fresh as daisy.

Everybody's got spondulx and looking
for a chance to blow it, but they're
sharp. None OF the suckers in the east
that you find floating around Frisco.
Why, tell you, if they had the gang of
'gudgeons' in the east that attend the
Jockey club meetings here, the pencil
ers would all be millionsires. Whew
but won't there be gang of sharks out
here this winter to pick the eyes out of
the suckers. They're coming from Chi
cago, st. Louis, New York and all east
ern points. Say, the California horse
men didn't have money enough to ship
their horses away from the track when
the last meeting closed, did they? Well,
after the next eeason is over they'll have
no horses to move. Then they'll be out

PUGILIsrIC SUGGESTION.
Jack Dempsey made a mistake when
he signed to fight a limited-round battle
with Billy Mccarthy or anybody else.
After 20 rounds in New Orleans the
match was declared a draw and the
$4,000 divided. Dempsey had the ad.
vantage, but needed considerable more
time to knock out the tough Australian,
who is one OF the moot extraordinary
gluttons for taking punishment now in
the risag. Dempsey, on the other hand,
always fights systematic but sure
fight, like Jack McAullffe, and could
never be hurried. even in his best days.
and now he is probably much weaker.
The spectators believed that he would
have won in a few more rounds, as Nc
earthly was gradually being beaten
down. Dempsey weighed only las
pounds and MCCARTHY 154. The ex- Nom
pareil has become has been and would
stand little chance with the modern
fighters. MCCARTHY was second class
back number long ago. The account of
the fight shows that Dempsey swung
wild and he evidently has lost his
cleverness along with his strength, good
judgment and youth.
