ARE HARD HIT
Four Favorites Catch the Eyes of the
Judges in Ascot Park Races.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 2.-The success
Of four favorites at Ascot to-day dealt
a serious blow TO the books. One horse
especially was heavily played, Ignacio
taking the last race at a mile and sew
enty yards, after having been backed
from to 1 to to 5. The other win
ming favorites were: Harbor, Judge
Denton and Doctor c. Sportsman and
Ericula. winners of the first and second
races, respectively. were heavily played
second choices. On the whole the day
was a disastrous one for the books and
a correspondinglv happy one for the
public players. A light rain fell after
the second race. but served only to
make the track a little heavier than it
was left by the dampness of the early
morning. Kent rode two winners, Hill
debrand two, Walsh and Booker one
each. Summary:
First race. five and a half furlongs- Sports

fight. To show his earnestness in the
matter he has decided to settle down
at some quiet resort and will go
through thorough course Of training
under the direction of Frank McDOn-
aid. the most competent young trainer
on the coast
Corbett will decide tonight as to
quarters. He. rather favors Los An
geles, but his best friends, who have
an unselfish interest in his future, want
him to select a quiet place like Billy
Shannon's, near San Rafael. Here his
work would be a pleasure 10 him and
he would regain the athletic form he
has frittered away during the past
eight months in butterfly existence.
He has abandoned one foolish affec-
tation- He made it a point 10 allow no
one to know his weight except Trainer
Tuthill. They looked upon this as a
huge joke. AS this was a sure indica-
tion of his condition he would have
been much better off had he let his
friends into the secret as they would
have known there was something
wrong with his training methods If he
was away above weight and would
have urged a change in his work.
Corbett has been assured Of a match
with some one early in the year and
the next time he starts he will be in
his old time form.

TRACK AT OAkL LAND IS MJDDYCLUB WILL NAME ROCHE
DISCUSSED
Britt Practically Decides to Train
at the Ocean Beach,.

There were disquieting rumors yes
terday that Jimmy Britt had decided
not to abide by his agreement of the
previous day to accept Billy Roche as
a referee for his fight with Nelson.
but that he wanted the club to name
the man who would referee. Manager
Coffroth heard this rumor indirectly
and at once said that in behalf of the
Yosemite Club if it was left to that or
ganiZation that he would name Roche.
BY having the club name the referee
Britt would place it in the position of
guaranteeing him fair treatment in the
ring.
Eddie Graney said yesterday that he
would not accept the position of ref
cree nor would he act in any other pro-
fessional contest If his health will
permit he will serve the Olympic Club
whenever the officials of that organiza-
tion desire his services.
Britt and Charley Kreling. who will
assist him in his training operations.
visited the Seal Rock House at the
ocean beach yesterday and practically
decided upon doing his training there.
1t is considered a good advertisement
for the fight to have him in such a
readily accessible place for visitors.
The only question is whether he can
secure the privacy there he desires. He
will determine to-day on this score and
will commence his training this after
noon. The measurements of the men
taken before their recent fights will
prove of interest to the followers of
the ring. They are as follows:

STORM SWEEPS
OYER CHICAGO
Winter Reaches the Middle
West, Bringing With 1t
a General Fall of Snow
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CHICAGO, Dec. 2.-Genuine winter,
with the first real snowstorm of the
season. swept over Chicago to-day.
Traction lines throughout the city were
badly handicapped. Patrons of the sub
urban trains were late in reaching the
city Cold weather and snow delayed
all the mail trains from thirty minutes
to an hour Snow did not fall in suf-
ficient quantity in this section of the
country to seriously impede railroad
traffic, however.
A minimum temperature of 10 degrees
above zero, with several inches of
snow. is the prediction of the local
Weather Bureau for tomorrow. The
chilly blast is expected to last over
Sunday. and perhaps longer.
To-day's snowstorm prevailed as far
north as Milwaukee, where three inches
were registered. Snow also fell in Ne
braska, North and South Dakota, Min
nesota and Iowa, and was accompanied
by falling temperatures.

Southern Stars Pile Runs
Up When the Champions
Are Making the Errors

The errors and the strikeouts and the
runs and the hits and other things
came so thick and fast yesterday at
Recreation Park that even Mike Fisher
threw UP his mitts when he tried to
keep. tab on all that was coming off
The Angels did more punching of runs
and hits and less of errors than the
Tigers, and victory was theirs bevond a
doubt after the ninth inning was over.
Score-Los Angeles 10, Tacoma 6.
1t was a bad game of ball in every
respect. Few of the runs were earned
Both pitchers were wild, Fitzgerald in
particular, for he gave eight bases on
balls. The fielders were all erratic. Toe
Corbett managed to boot three around
the second bag. and they all counted in
the run-getting.
The Tigers took lead of four in the
first three innings, and it looked easy
for them till the Angels got the bases
full in the fourth. They made runs sys-
tematically, one at time. In all five
were showed over before Dolly GRAY
found where he was at once again.
This took a lot of fight out of the
Tigers and made the Angels feel like
big leaguers.
The Angels put the finishing touches
on their days work in the ninth snasm
by hammering three through. The I'll
gers began to do a little sticking AZ the
last moment, but failed to come
through and let two men die on the
sacks. The score:

Rounds and Mayfield and Riley
Fight a Great Battle.

A bang, a biff of the glove against
some ones jaw or body was heard for
two hours at Woodward's Pavilion last
night when one of the best boxing
shows of the time was promoted by
the San Francisco Athletic Club. The
main event was a fitting windup to
the evenings sport. Lew Powell, the
champion lightweight. all but slowed
Tom Sullivan away, though he was
given a good time before the four
rounds were reeled off.
Sullivan used a straight left to the
jaw and would have brought home
the money had not Powell waded in
occasionally with we'll placed rights
and lefts to the body and jaw. Powell
won the fight in the last two sounds
when he got to Sullivan's jaw several
times with hard jolts. sullivan was
all but gone, but proved game.
Harry Tenny copped young Jimmy
Carroll with right to the jaw in the
fourth round, just before the bell
sounded. Up to that time the mill
was full of sensations and both men
exchanged several wallops that looked
like the ones which produce sleep.
Frank Mayfield was awarded a deci-
sion over Harry Riley that was not
earned. Both men stood up and
slugged till they were all in, but Ri
ley landed more often and had a
shade the better of it.
Young Choynski was too many for

son meet is being discussed wherever
sporting men congregate. 1t is ex-
pected Britt will open an to 10 choice
and there are some persons who are
already willing to bet to 10 that he
will be returned the winner. Nelson
undoubtedly will have a large follow
ing, as he has won all his fights on the
short end Opinions differ as to
whether Britt can stop the wonderful
Dane. The friends of the latter claim
he cannot be knocked out while the
admirers of the hard-hitting Califor-
