S|ECER IS ON
WITH Mr..
BRITT

Charley Sieger, the eastern light
weight who surprised western fight fol-
lowers by holding Rufe Turner to 20
round draw, earned by SO doing fight
with Jimmy Britt, the coast champion.
A year ago Britt was the fight idol
of San Francisco. His admirers, and
they were numerous, considered him the
best lightweight of the age, and stood
ready to back him against Joe Cans,
His two fights with Jack OKeefe, the
first of which he lost on foul and
the second resulting in a draw, lower
ed him somewhat in the estimation Of
his followers of year ago. Jimmy
did not show in his fights with O'keefe
that he was a world heater unless Jack
is much better than credited. There
is no dscounting his sturdiness and
gameness, but his short suit seems to
be lack of downright cleverness. In
that respect Sieger holds nothing over
him Judging from the showing he made
against Harry Eagin at the America
club about a year ago. Charley, upon
that occasion, showed nothing but hit
ting powers and capacity of punish
ment. Fagin got him to the bad early
in the fray, but soon found him BIT
too tough to put away for keeps. He
may have improved some since then.
but if he has it must be secreted about
his person as it surely is not public
property. From what is known here
about Sieger, and what we are suppos-
ed to know about Britt's fighting abil-
tiles, the fight should develop into
regular old time smuggling match. Aleck
Greggains secured the contest for the
San Francisco Athletic club and will
stage 1t some time next month.

DOUBLE RACING Card Is
BILLED FOR THIS !
AFTERNOON

RAIN rain, rain--and then a few
drops thrown in to make the pail full
enough to completely disappoint host
of the race followers, tells the tale in
few words of what yesterdays races
amounted to. Not cent less than
$4,000 in the aggregate was collected
around the betting ring from noon I'M
til the calamity happened-the calling
off of the entire card of the days rae
ing events at 2 o'clock. The sports
didn't shed tears or anything, but sew
eral of them are charged with saying
some of those impossiblities under
their breath that would look decidedly
out of place in print.
About o'clock Charles D. Jeffrics
blew into the betting ring and announc-
ed that the Cheese was OFF, and sup
pressed groan went up from the small
host of sports. 1t was one of those
practical thuds-and it is doubtful il
there is ever again collected a bunch
of the talent of the game with more
of the necessary wherewith to make n
killing" with the bookmakers.
Not one follower of the races in the
city but what was at the poolhou'e
with pocketfull of simoleons to play
on his particular favorte.
When Manager Jeffries of the 1903
fair marched onto the platform of the
poolhouse, inflated his lungs with pure
and somewhat wet-oxgen, and an
nounced that the managers of the asso-
citation had decided to call the entire
card of the day off until today, the
suppressed explosives of dissatisfaction
that eminated from the pipes of those
sports who had the true "dope' on
those particular events would have inn
mediately confded the spirit of Jeffries
to the realm of one Mephistopheles,
whom Faust so graphically depicts with
redfre, electricity and other strange
and supposedly horrible mysteries.
is working all the time for the interests
of the fair association and although he
stopped the events to the very great
disappointment of the talent, it's a
good hundred to one shetland sure
dope-that he had at heart only the
very best interests of the organization
that has honored him with the position
he occupies.
Without a doubt the pools of yester.
day would have made a small barrel of
the filthy out of the events on the
program-the association, however,
would have been the losers by at least
$4,000, and Jeffries. realizing the re-
sponsibility of his position, simply call
ed the whole performance off and an
nounced that he had decided on a post
ponement of the events until today.
Then. Immediately he had made the

BOWLING
IS THE
CARD

Even the races did not keep the
mighty bowling men of the city from
engaging in their favorite pastime
yesterday and today. There are those
who engage in every other game on
the calendar but the supreme sport
of rolling the giant marbles who have
argued that the game is not in this
city to stay, and cites as an instance
the advent and quiet retiring of the
cute parlor game of pingpong. If
these wise ones had taken the trouble
of looking at the crowd of players
at the S. A. y. c. alleys, the Occur
d'Alene alleys and several smaller
alleys of the city they would have
had the idea effectually dispelled. The
finer accommodations of the alleys
of the latter club naturally has re-
suited in the better play. While the
members of the S. a. a. c. are the
most enthusiastic chapions of the
game in this city, their limited
quarters have caused them to leave
off from the pastime for the present
with the intention of again taking it
up with a greater interest than ever
when their beautiful new club build
ing, now in course of construction
is completed. The Occur d'Alene al
lcys, therefore. are now getting the
best play of the city, and the mem
bers of the athletic organization are
playing there every evening in order
to get the benefit of a play on a SUI
perior alley.

Duke Loves the Turf.

LONDON, Oct. 6,-Lord March, the
new duke of Richmond, is as ardent
q devotee of the turf as was his sire,
who died last week.
For number of years the new duke,
then Lord March, held the Office of
steward of the Jockey club and his rep
utation was such that instead of deriv-
ing prestige from the Office it was his
tenure thereof that was considered to
give weight to the decisions of the
club, and the stewards of which con
stitute the supreme tribunal in con
nection with all racing matters in Eng
land. Indeed, when, some years ago.
heiigured as a moving spirit in the jock
ey club inquiry which resulted in a
number of leading jockeys and profes
sional hackers being warned off the
turf, not a single word of protest was
heard, even on the part of their friends
against the decision, so final was regard
ed the verdict of Lord March.

Out Of the Hills.

Judge w. r. Williams of Phoenix
B. c., now in the city, says he has
brought a pony along with him that
can cop the long end of the purse
against all the little fellows at the
Spokane meeting. He calls him Buzz
card Head and says that although the
breeding is not known he is about the
faster starter in the business. AT the
late Grand Forks meeting this animal
is said to have beaten the bunch in
which Miss Miller started over three
lengths in a couple of hundred yards.
