SADDLE AND SULKY

A determined effort is being made to
put stop to all pool selling in San
Francisco city and county, but the mat
ter\has not caused the race-goers there
any loss of sleep. Supervisor Rivers is
trying to secure the passage of an ordi-
nance in the board of supervisors to
prohibit any and all persons from en-
gaging in selling pools, bookmaking or
making wagers upon any contest of
skill or endurance of either man or
beast. He failed to secure thefneces-
sary majority to support his measure,
and it now lies on the table. He de-
clares he will keep up the fight until he
wins or his term of office expires.

The two great San Francisco jockey
clubs have decided that in future at In
gleside and Oakland, and until further
notice, it shall be optional with the
judges as to the extent of disqualified
ton in cases Of fouls. 1t has been a
custom for all times when horse is
disqualified for foul that he shall be
placed last. Race track magnates have
decided to give the Judges power to place
the horses back In position In the race,
instead Of putting them last. Thus, If
two horses are out in front. clear of the
field, and one bumps the other, without
interfering with any other horse, the
Judge may reverse the positions Of the
two horses without affecting the posi-
ton of any other horse in the race.
Should a horse interfere with more than
one horse, his position may be changed
accordingly. Intentionally or willfully
foul riding will be strictly dealt with.

There is now more coursing in Los
Angeles than in any other city of equal
size in the country. That the city can
support one park and furnish good at
tendance at nearly all matches, so long
as they are properly conducted, there
can be no doubt; but 1t is questionable
whether there is enough interest in the
sport here to make two rival clubs pay.
The public will be the Judges of which of
the two puts up the best entertainment.
Both cannot make money in the game.
and 1t will be simply case of the sur
vival of the better organization. Both
now claim to be the better, of course,
and both cite numerous reasons for their
claims of superiority. Both will con-
tinue to hold regular weekly meets I'M
til one or the other succumbs, and in the
meantime the public can witness all the
coursing 1t desires.
