ing are enthusiastic over the sport they

rain keeps off the shooting is expected

While Tommy Burns, Shaw and some
of the other old timers are absent this
winter, more promising collection Of
lightweights and apprentices were sell
dom seen on any race course than are
now assembled at Oakland track.
Big Bill Knapp is an established
favorite, for he has appeared on the To-
cal tracks in past seasons. Knapp's
honesty has never been questioned. and
he is assured of a welcome from the
crowds, when first past the wire astride
a winner.
Gene Hildebrand, the new idol Of the
turf, rode a few races here soon after
the inception Of the racing season,
when he departed for Los Angeles. He
is under contract to ride the horses
owned by "Plunger" Joe Yeager.
From obscurity w. Davis sprang into
prominence with a single bound on the
New York tracks the past summer. The
services of Davis were secured by w.
B. Jennings for the California winter
campaign. and the youthful rider is
making good with a vengeance at Oak
land. He and Knapp head the list of
winning jockeys.
All of the old timers remember Dare
Devil Fitzpatrick and much interest Is
awakened in the progress of his son,
now under contract to ride for Jimmy
Coffey. Some days ago "Fitz" had a
severe fall while plotting Ocyrohe in a
race, and has been on the ground for a
time.
Possibly the efforts Of Mickey" Nc
Laughlin lack polish and are yet in the
rough, but Mickey is persevering and
deserves to meet with success. One of
his faults is eagerness to reach the wire
in too great a hurry, but this may not
be such great fault after all.
Sam Greenfield is another youngster
who Is bound to make name for him
self Travers and Larsen are fast
reaching the top rung of the ladder.
Oakland race-goers cannot complain of
a paucity Of riding talent.

Pert Weller at Stockton on the night
of the 18th inst. before the San Joa-
quin Athletic Club. The men will box
at catch weights and are to go twenty
rounds. Weller is a new arrival from
Nevada. He has done considerable
milling around Salt Lake and Den
yer. He outweighs Woods several
pounds and is said to be a vicious
puncher. Woods is doing his training
at West Oakland. He will join his
stablemate, Bobby Johnson. at Stock

Aside from the continuous tennis
tournament the only event of any size
or Importance scheduled for this
month is the scratch doubles tourna-
ment to be played Christmas day on
the California Club courts. The
Golden Gate Club will hold no tourna-
ments until after the first of the year
The boys of the junior Club will prob
ably play each week, while the ladies
Will meet once before the end of the
year.
In the Christmas day tourney all Of
the California Club cracks will COM
pete. The affair will prove unusually
interesting because of the fact the
players will draw for partners. 1t has
pot as yet been decided whether the
players will be divided into two sec
tiOns. This would result in a good
and a poor player joining forces. Most
of the players seem to favor the
straight draw, arguing that as Ii is to
be a game of chance, make 1T such as
far as possible.
The continuous tournament is prov
ing popular and the players are taking
a great interest in it. The event was
started last Sunday. but already there
have been numerous changes. Many
challenges are posted on the board
and many more will go up to-day and
tomorrow. when a number of matches
will be played.
The tournament is a novelty to most
OF the players, who are somewhat con-
fused as to the rules. 1t will be neces-
sary for the tournament committee to
post a set of well-defined rules on the
bulletin board if things are to run
smoothly.
The first two men to change places
were Will Collier and B. F. Nourse.
They met on Sunday and Collier won
in straight sets. He is now No. 4,
while Nourse goes back to No. 5.
