YIELDS
IN One ROUND
The Boxer Is Beaten by the
Dixie Kid in Oakland After
Two Minutes of Fighting

AL Neill was knocked out at the Sc
quota Club, Oakland. last night after
two minutes of fighting with Dixie Kid,
the colored boy from Los Angeles. Neill
might as we'll have been a bag of beans
for all the showing he made. The
fighting game is apparently not for him
any more.
The colored man opened the battle
at once and in a minute drove Nein
TO the roDes with a couple Of smashes
TO the head and body. Another pair
Of swings drove Neill again 10 the
ropes. The white man got out from
under and backed across the ring only
to be hurt with body smashes that
sent him to the floor. He stayed down
nine seconds and got himself together
long enough to withstand bunch more
of driving rights and lefts. One ter
rife left TO the stomach was followed
by a pair Of drives that ended the fight
and settled Neill as a fighting man.
The first blow landed by the kid" set
tied the fight. Neill appeared out of
condition. He was drawn, haggard
and lean.
There was no excuse Of an even
match between the men. Spider" Kelly
was Neilrs chief coach, but the long
second did not have chance to say
a word or 70 make mOtloh- II was
over too soon. "Biddy" Bishop second
ed Dixie" who did not have to fight
hard enough to warm UP. The crowd
was not sure why Neill was allowed
to go into the ring after seeing the
wretched showing he made.
Followers Of the sport look for more
evenly matched contestants. One-slded
events of the character given last night
always leave the door open for doubt
and suspicion. This is not the first
fight conducted by the Sequoia Club
that has been free from the showing
that causes justiftable criticism OF the
contests. The betting yesterday after
noon was at even money, but last night
the kid" was backed down to to 10
favoritism. Phil Wand was referee Of
the event.
Spike Foley got the decision over
Paul Crump in four rounds. Patsy Ho
gan and Joe Reilly fought a six-round
draw

HOBART PLAYS
IN GOOD FORM
Although Out of Practice and
Overweight He Shows to
Advantage on Polo Field

The English poloists appeared on the
Burlingame Country Club field yester-
day for the first time, but not in a
tournament match, as was expected
They wanted an opportunity to try out
their ponies before entering upon the
severe work which tournament play
involves. The game was fast, how
ever, and was full of desperate gallop-
ing.
In order to accommodate all the
players the teams were changed three
times. each being allotted two periods
of play. The first lineup was:
REDS WHITES.
c. Garland Captain Chaplin
W. S. Hobart F. J: Mackey
Richard McCreery, referee. and Cyril Tobin,
timekeeper.
Basil Williams, E. w. Ho,-. .rd Peter
y. Martin and w. A. McCreery appear
ed later in the game. At the end of
five periods of play the score was four
to four.
Chief interest centered in the appear
ance of Captain Neil Haig and of Wal
ter Hobart. Although the latter was
overweight and out of practice he
showed he was still in the game and
that with a little practice he will play
his old time game. He was unusually
well mounted
Captain Haig filled all expectations.
He is the hardest hitter ever seen on
a California field and, despite his
weight, seems to take but little out
of pony. His strokes are as sure and
as clean cut as those of a tennis player
and the ball is sent a great distance.
The veteran F. j. Mackey comes back
this year little ruddier Of complexion
and a trife more rOtund of form, but
he is still the same desperate player.
Lawrence McCreery furnished the
surprise of the day. He picked the ball
out of a scrimmage in midfeld and ran
it across the field. He finally placed it
between the posts by a most difficult
shot at an odd angle. He was roundly
applauded by the players and the spec
tators alike.
The tournament game scheduled for
yesterday will be played this afternoon.
The second game will be played to-
morrow as originally scheduled and
the deciding game on Saturday morn
ing.
II was announced yesterday that
Charley Dunphy, who is the best Amer
lean player in the number one posi-
ton. will not be able to play this year.
He collected a grand stable of ponies
and the disappointment both to him
self and TO his friends Is keen. He
would be pitted against Neil Haig in
a game and there is a general desire
to see him oppose the clever English
player in at least one match.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 9.-Favorites
were not much in evidence at Ascot to-
day and the twelve books kept a con-
siderable portion of the money han
died. The race of the day. was the
fourth, at mile and sixteenth, which
brought out most of the good horses
at the track. Warte Nicht was made
favorite and was well supported at to

and Fortunatus third choice at IL to 2
They finished in that order. Tax Man,
Paul Whaley and Princess Tulane were
played heavily, but did not get inside
the money.
A field of fifteen went to the post in
the first race. All About at to 1 was
the victor, with Turtle second and Ulm
third. The favorite, Louwelsea, was
practically left at the post.
The wild horse Flourish caused Milas
to lose the second race by boiling at
the head of the stretch, carrying Milas
across the track and out of his stride.
Sir Hugh, the favorite, came through
and won, Milas finishing second and
Homage third. Flourish will not be al
lowed to start again. He bolted in a
jumping race some time ago and
caused Timber Jim to fall and break a
leg.
Carnival surprised the talent by TAX
