LAUGHING WATER
A STAKE WINNER
Eastern Hound Outfoots
Game Special at
Ingleside.
Hares Take Their Pursuers a
Merry Chase Over the
Field.

There was no stopping the hares
yesterday at Ingleside Coursing Park.
Hardly greyhound was slipped that
was not run to a standstin. Only the
hounds that had been trained for STAN
ina had a chance OF getting anywhere
near the flying hares.
Laughing Water, G. Lacy Crawford's
st. Louis courser. won the stake. beat
ing Special in the deciding course with
out allowing him a point. The victory
was a hard-earned one for the Eastern
dog for like others in the stake. she
was forced to extend herself IN nearly
every trial.
Special had had more than his share
Of work and before the deciding course
was ended showed the effects OF hard
trials.
Relief dogs were sent out early in the
course. for 1t was apparent that Spe-
cial, game as he was. could not score.
The winner, too, was in a bad state
and about all out When the hare was
dispatched 1t was found necessary to
carry Special from the field and II is
likely the game hound viii succumb to
the severe running.

The ruling off the turf of Book
maker Jim Davis and Jockeys D. Hall,
FerreH and Adkins by the stewards of
the California Jockey Club was the
one topic of conversation yesterday
among horsemen. OF course there
were many arguments both pro and
com as to the justice of the rulings.
Many who a few days ago were
decrying the inanition displayed by
the officials at Oakland track and ap-
parently wanted one-half the jockeys
riding either lynched or transported.
suddenly suffered a change of mind,
and now think an injury has been
done. However, this is an old story.
A rider is an idol while he is putting
winners over the plate. but when he
strikes a losing gait his former wor-
shippers forsake him as rats do sink
ing ship. Money comes fast, in fact,
altogether too fast to these young
men, and they will not listen to the
council of older and wiser men.
Seemingly they prefer to associate
with leeches who care only to use
them for their own personal gain, just
as one sucks the juice of an orange
and tosses away the peeling.
BOOKMAKER DAVIS STORY.
In his own behalf Bookmaker Jim
Davis says he has not given a penny
to rider or any of Sthe parasites
known as agents" since the season
opened. Neither does he feel that he
took any liberties with Divina in his
book on Saturday. He admits to be-
ing $4,000 winner, and states that
Clarence Waterhouse and John Con-
don of Chicago have an interest in his
book. One reason Davis gives for
laying against the mare on Saturday
Is because Alb Stemler, former trainer
for the Ell Primero stable, did not
fancy her chances. 10. Terry of Sac
ramento, owner of Divina, thinks she
should have won, and is willing to
match her against Horatius at the
same weights as carried in the handi-
cap on Saturday, which were: Hora-
titus "a, Divina 10. Mr.. Terry is
man of wealth, and stated that he
would wager a big amount that his
mare could beat the colt.
Starter Jake Hoffman. accompanied
by his wife, arrived here yesterday
from Chicago. Jake put in a successful
season on the Western tracks and will
handle the barrier when Ingleside
opens next Monday.
HALL rs INTERRoGATED.
Barney Schneider, who had second
call on the services of d. Hall, thinks
the boy was harshly dealt with. M. q.
de Almond, who holds a contract on
the services of Hall, had long talk
with the Texas rider yesterday. and if
he was implicated in any job
berry it is said his employer is the sort
of man who will come close to finding
1t out.

gagements for Adkins, was thunder

Of a possible 25 rings. He was closely
followed By A. Strecker. It was
thought in the early part Of the day

match was called. These two players
now have two uncompleted matches to
play. In one Allen leads and in the
other MacGavin has the ADVANTAGE.
The semi-final match between Mac
Gavin and George Baker was the
closest and most interesting Of the day.
MacGavfn broke several strings in his
racket during the second set and 1t
almost cost him the match. In the
third set Baker led at 6-5 and 40-15,
but MacGavin pulled ii out, 81. Pre-
vious to this each had won a set quite
easily. The other two matches in this
class were won by Allen. He beat H
Russell and Charles Dunlap in the or
der named.
In the second class both matches
were interesting. In the semi-fnals
Stewart Gayness caused a surprise by
almost beating Ambrose. Gayness had
previously played in the third class
and his excellent showing was unex-
pected. The score was 6-2, 10, SIS in
favor Of Ambrose
In the finals Ambrose. after losing
the first set, won the next three. the
third being love set. The score was
2-6, GA, 60, 6-4.
In the third class Brabant was much
too strong for young Gabriel. The
latter became discouraged after losing
the first two sets. Brabant has an ex-
cellent style and has had considerable
experience. The score in his favor
was 6-2, Ga, 6-3.
The finals of the fourth class proved
a f1ve-set affair, the outcome Of which
was in doubt until the end Skaggs
won the first set easily. The second
and third went to Guerin and it seem
ed he would win. Skaggs won the
fourth set and evened up the score.
The fifth set was the closest and final
ly went to Skaggs after fourteen
games had been played The score
was 6-3. Us. As, ga, Sc.
On the California Club courts many
practice matches were played. The
best by far was a doubles between Joe
Tobin and Will Taylor and Frank Nit
cheI and Sidney Salisbury. Taylor at
one time was the greatest player on
the coast and held the championship
for several years. He has played but
little in the past few years, but has
not gone back much. He and Tobin
beat Mitchell and Salisbury easily All
three sets went to the ex-champions
and the losers we're able to get only
three games in each
Mitchell and Salisbury did not play
their best, the former being consider
ably off in his play. Taylor played his
old-time, careful, heady game He
uses little or no speed, but plays every
thing safe. Tobin was strong on over
head work, but his volleying was lit
tie weak. The score in favor of Tobin
and Taylor was 6-3. SIS. 6-3.
In singles Salisbury and Mitchell
plaved one set to determine who was
responsible for their defeat. Salisbury
beat his first-class opponent. Ga
The unfinished match between Mac
Gavin and Allen was not played, but
will be completed either saturday
afternoon OF Sunday.

An accident to Walter McCreery
after minute Of play in the fourth
period robbed the game of any further
interest for the spectators. Mr.. Nc
Creery was driving the ball up toward
the Reds goal at the westerly end of
the field. One of the Reds struck the
ball a sharp blow with his mallet. In
stantly there was an involuntary cry
of pain from Mr.. McCreery and he
seemed about to fall from his pony.
The players galloped up and assisted
him to dismount. After a short rest
he gamely remounted and tried to play
again. When he set his pony in motion
he found his injuries were more severe
than at first supposed. He dismounted
and was assisted to the clubhouse ver-
anda, and thence to his home. Cyril
Tobin took his place on the field and
played out the period.
r. NJ. Tobin of the Whites scored the
first goal Of the game. Tom Driscoll
tied the score almost Immediately with
a brilliant shot from a hard angle. F.
]. Carolan sent the ball between the
posts for a second goal for the Reds
just before the close of the period.
Walter McCreery worked the ball out
Of a scrimmage early in the second
period and ran it down the field for
goal with but little assistance. This
made the score a tie again. The Reds
had the ball around their opponents
goal for some time and nearly scored.
Tom Driscoll missed a goal by inches
early in the third period and Walter
McCreery stopped another from his
mallet as it was about to roll between
the posts. Driscoll scored the goal
which won the match in the fourth
period. He first hit goal post with
the ball and then drove II between the
posts.

JEW But NOT CHRISTIAN.

4 minister Of the Baptist church ii
Norfolk, in recent sermon paid al
eloquent tribute 10 the Jew.
In closing he said
THE Jew, 10y giving his life-blOOd q,
witness for the Word, has made firm
the foundations Of the Christians faith
and hope. Because Jew died on
Calvary We have hopein God Because
millions of Jews have died since
Calvary, rather than give up the law
committed to them, has caused the
world to pause and ponder upon the
truths Of the Book, and finally 10 SIT at
the feet of the Great Teacher Of the
Book"
This being true, and We do not doubt
it, why is it that the Jew has not been
sitting with the Christian at the feet Of
the Christ to learn Of him?
Gods chosen people and yet rejectOrs
Of Gods only son 1.-THE way, the truth
and the life." Is there greater mystery
in human history? And are Christians
making any efforts to convert Jews to
the Christian religion? Are any Of the
young ministers training for work in
Palestine, or among the greater num-
Der Of Jews in Russia?
