LIST OF LUCKY
PURSE WINNERS
Popular Turfnan Leads
by Quite a Margin.
Track Gossip.
BY FRED e. MULHoLLAND.

The prospects are for some excellent
sport at Oakland racetrack this week,
as a fine programme has been ar
handicap for all ages at mile and
seventy yards with $1,000 added. This
event should serve to bring together
some of the best horses here.
The Crocker selling stakes, which
will have a value of more than $4,000,
is down for decision Saturday. 1t is
for three -year-olds and upward at one
mile Among the seventy-four eIigf-
bles are number of high-class per-
formers. The list includes Arcade,
Military Man. Elliott, Vesuvian, Le-
tola, Bombardier, Soufriere, The
Mighty, Modicum, Martinmas, Nj
grette, Gold Money, Captain Forsee,
San Nicholas, Andrew B. Cook and
Ananias.
The Christmas handicap, with $4,000
added, will be run on Monday. the 26th
inst.
During the first twenty-five days Of
the present season the New California
Jockey Club has distributed $67 900 in
stakes and purses. Walter B. Jennings
heads the list of winning owners, with
$4920 to his credit.
James Hanbv saws it was through
no fault of his that Mike Daly was de-
prived of the services of Dominick to
ride Claude in the handicap on Satur-
day. According to the formers ver-
sion of the controversy, DAILY on Fri
day stated that Claude would not be
starter in the race, whereupon
Handy then secured the mount on
Gold Money for Dominick. Bullman
was once more on the sick list, the
judges would not permit w. Daily to
accept the mount, so Claude was
scratched.
Michaels should brush up in his rid
ing a little. Some of his waits are
longer than it is between cars on the
Geary- street line.
If Northwest can win easily with r.
Butler up, the filly was pickup at
500. 1t would not be surprising to
see her beat Dainty with rider up.
So Ed Corrigan has gone on East
from Chicago to enlist the services of
the Jockey Club in his fight against
the Western Jockey Club. If he is sue
cessful things must have changed
around some in old York State.
When Whoa Bill was pulled up
bleeding in Fridays race, the hemor-
rhages some of the colts hackers were
seized with haven't been stopped yet.
Bookmaker Joe Rose will probably
cut in this week.
Billy Cahill purchased Yada from
Sam Hildreth for $1,000. The Odd Fell
low colt has frictionless way of get
ting over the ground, and should pick
up many a purse before the season is
over. Billy deserves a good horse, any
way.
Following is a list of owners to win
more than $1,000 to date:

The ground at Idora Park. Oakland,
was occupied by the teams of the Al
bion Rovers and Pickwicks with A. d.
Couper as referee. It was exceedingly
slippery, being covered with long, wet
grass. In the first few minutes of play
Jennings of the Rovers twisted his
knee and had to retire from the game
Though the Rovers played with only
two halfbacks they succeeded in scor-
ing six goals to the two made by the
Pickwicks. In the first period the Row
ers scored two goals and the Pickwicks
one. In the second period the Rovers
scored four and the Pickwicks one
Whyte, Bradley, Anderson, Balm and
Macarthur scored for the winners, and
Inganni and Robertson for the losers
The game was a somewhat argu-
mentative one, the players showing
disposition to talk back" to the ref
cree. The teams occupied the following
positions:

NELSON EXPECTS TO WIN
INSIDE OF TWELVE ROUNDS
Mixes 1t Fiercely in
His Training at
LarkSpur.

Battling Nelson, or, as he was chris
tened. Oscar Battling Matthew Nelson,
IN far away Copenhagen. where he was
born in 1882. has sent word TO his
friends in Chicago that he expects to
defeat Jimmy Britt in twelve rounds
He says he predicted the defeat Of
Young Corbett and was never so sure
of anything in his life as that he will
defeat Britt.
Nelson is one Of a family Of ten chill
dren and came 10 this country with
- his parents when he was ten months
old. They lived for a time in Chicago
and then moved 10 Hegewisch, a sub
urb Of the Windy City. where large
machine shops are located. Two of
the brothers are machinists. Battling
was a machinist's helper at one time
lie was nearly killed by a fragment
OF iron from a broken machine. He lay
unconscious in a hospital for TWO days
When he came out he had a distinct
aversion 10 the calling Of a machin-
lists helper.
When urged not TO take up pugilism
he had an unansWera bic argument for
his critics: If run such risks in the
shops, how can fighting be more dan
Eerous?"
Battling enlisted in the volunteers in
lesS from Huron, S. D., but the SER
vices Of the little company were not
required and IL disbanded without its
members seeing any warfare. Nelson's
tst ring battles were preliminary af-
fairs about Chicago. where the 13O-
FOUNDER took on men of any weight.
. sometimes giving away thirty pounds
or more.
The betting men are already figuring
on the Britt-Nelson fight. II is the
consensus OF opinion that the Britt
Cans affair and the Nelson Corbett
fight must be left out Of the caIcula-
uons. From Cans own statements he
DID not show his true form, whatever
it might have been. Young Corbett
was not in form, although he made
both himself and his friends believe he
VAS on the eve Of the battle.
Nelson is such a plodding fighter that
he docs not show the class that Britt
and others show. If he can win from
Britt il will demonstrate how decep-
tive appearances are. as the Calffor-
nian has all the dash and brilliancy Of
the most finished boxer.
The usual Sunday delegation Of
sporting men crowded Smiling Metz
ner's tavern at Larkspur yesterday to
watch Nelson work for his battle with
Britt Those who jOurneyed across the
pond were given a rare treat. as Bat
went twelve hot rounds in all with
Eddie Santry, Stockings Kelly and a
young amateur from Milwaukee. The
bouts were Of the furious kind and
much blood was shed. The Dane seems
10 gain steadily in speed and appears
IN fine condition. An hours regular
gymnasium work preceded the boxing.
BAT did not go on the road in the morn
lng on account Of the muddy condition
of the roads. He tipped the beam dur
lne the afternoon three pounds over
weight He could readily dispose Of
several pounds more if necessary.

Der boy as he dipped in the waters of
the blue ocean after his days work

James put in an extra hard day.
Perhaps ii was the admiring throng
which sDurred him on or it may have
been a sense Of duty with him. but
at any rate he punched and tussled
and pranced around that gymnasium
in such lively manner that the spec
tatOrs frequently applauded his efforts
with rounds Of hearty applause.
Spider" Kelly was there with his
happy raiment and he seemed to ap-
prove Of every move Jimmy made. He
went through his usual stunts. besides
doing a lot Of shadow boxing and toss
ing the medicine ball with ''Tiv'' Krel-
ing. Jimmy looks just about ready
now. although he says some more
training won't do him any harm.
Frank Rafael had to go some when
be donned the big mitts. II was rush
and breakaway as best you could in
each Of the four rounds. Britt took
nearly as many wallops as he landed
and the more he was hit the harder
he went without hesitating at all
he did some dumbbell work and
shadow boxing and then engaged Krel-
ing in that usual tedious period of
. rCughing and wrestling.

PARNELLS FALL BEFORE
INVINCIBLE WOLFE TONES.
Gaelic Football Teams Indulge in One
of the Liveliest Contests
of the Year.

One of the liveliest games of Gaelic
football ever seen in this city was
played at the Presidio Athletic
Grounds yesterday when the Parnell
team faced the Wolfe Tones. The field
was a cross between the San Bruno
marsh and a plate of mush, but the
players seemed to be amphibious.
In the first half bunch of Par
nells in green jerseys literally piled
through the Wolfe Tone goal. 1t looked
all ParneI at the beginning of the
second half, but the Wolfe Tones got
their second wind and became busy.
Almost in the dark they went at the
BOYS in green hammer and tongs. The
game ended 4 to in favor of the
Wolfe Tones. The gate receipts will be
turned over to the language fund of
the Gaelic League. Following are the
