COLUMBIA
FAVORITE IN
THE BETTING
Odds of 10 to 8 Are Being
Offered on the American
Yacht.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-Betting on the
Americas cup match has not yet become
active. Now and then wagers are heard
of on the result, but the amounts have
been small. Before the arrival of the
Shamrock the inclination was to make
the Columbia a great faVorite, and there
were rumorS of money being posted at
odds of two and three to one on the home
boat, but it was impossible at the time
to find out who the enthusiastic patriots
were that felt so sanguine that the Co
lumbia would win.
The Columbia still has the call in the
betting, but it is conceded that The Sham
rock is a better boat than any of the pre-
vious challengers. The disposition on the
part of the Columbia's admirers seems to
be to wait for terms not one-sided. Oc-
casional bets have recently been made of
10 to and even 10 to Z, with the Columbia
favorite, but the amounts have not been
large. The bulk of the Columbia money
will not be bet until next week, when the
holders of large sums hope to obtain even
money, but failing in this point or two
may be conceded to the Shamrock ad-
herents.
prominent member Of city club Just
returned from London reports that he sue
ceeded in placing S200 on the Columbia
there at even money and wanted more,
but was unable to get It, At the time he
made the bet there was only a meager
amount of speculation on the result Of
the races.

ALL, TEAMS

GOOD GAMES
Changes in the Last Week
Which Bring Mines Closer
in the Column.

The four teams in the league to-day
are approaching a common level OF game
with startling rapidity. Three of them
are in the same hundred percentage with
the Dudes still trailing a bad fourth.
The position Of Cal Ewing's men is un-
fortunate. At the beginning of the sea-
son his men played very poor ball and
they made speedy descents down the col
umn which represents the standing or the
teams. AS it is now they are l66 per cent
below the leading Senators and nearly
a century behind the Lobsters, who stand
third in a list of four teams. But the
playing of the Dudes of late is not that
of tail enders. 1t is really equal to the
best and when Sacramento crosses pats
with the Oakland team 1t will find much
fortified nine to bat into subJection. Inc
Dudes took the measure of the locals IN
two out of three games last saturday ana
Sunday by playing the better ball. Ihat
they lost the first game was a matter or

stride. and in consequence has gone down
the percentage column with hop. SKIP
and a Jump. The two victories OF santa
Cruz over the Senators have advanced the
Ilobsters several stations and they will

The standing of the teams is as FOL

HANDICAP
WEIGHTS AND
ENTRIES
Brief Review of Some Likely
Starters in the Big Event
Saturday.

The opening Handicapped a mile, worth
500 to the winner-the special feature of
the racing card on Saturday at Oakland
track. Will see about as evenly balanced
field as has yet faced the barrier in this
rich event. The entries and weights were
issued by Handicapped Brooks yesterday,
and on paper the race looks an extremely
difficult one to pick. On his Sacramento
form Cromwell has rightfully been al
lotted top weight, III pounds. During the
State Fair meet the chestnut horse seemed
to have recovered his old-time speed. and
will be hard to beat. Mt. McGregor ii
comes next with 49, and Rosinante looks
well in with 109 up. The latter mare
has had a long rest and Will take a lot
of beating. At Sacramento, Hohenzollern
was both good and bad, and with lOS
pounds on his back will be dangerous.
Jennie Reed is greatly improved, and So
cialist has been going great guns at oak
land in his work Libertine. no longer
partial to weight, should be able to reel
off very fast mile with only ninety
eight pounds in the saddle. and Lost Girl,
allotted ninety-eight pounds also. will not
want for hackers. on September Ia at
Oakland track, Lothian downed his field
over one mile and a sixteenth, galloping
in 1892. carrying lightweight pounds,
and asked to carry one pound more on
Saturday, has an undeniable chance. The
other lightweights should not be over
looked. The full list of entries are as fol-
lOuS
