At the end Of the sixth period the score
was a tie, each side having made seven
goals. An extra period was ordered,
and Charles Raoul-DuvaI scored goal
which meant that the honors of the
day went to the Burlingame men. The

CHICAGO TEAM
TO PLAY HERE

Jim Morley thinks the Chicago Ma
tional League team is the fastest bunch
of ball players he ever saw, and he
says the fans have a treat in store
on Saturday and Sunday, when the
Eastern aggregation lines up at Recre-
alton Park for couple of exhibition
games with the club that will repre-
sent San Francisco in the Coast
League.
According TO Morley, Chicago looks
like a pennant winner to him. He says
the infield is fast and snappy and that
the outfield can cover as much ground
as any three men he ever saw play
ing the positions. Selee has King, con-
sidered TO be the best catcher in the
business when all things are consid-
cred, with O'Neill as change backstop.
Chance, the Fresno giant, has adapted
himself to the first sack and is her
aided as one Of the best men in the
country at that important position
Evers. Casey and Tinker are the other
infielders. Mccarthy. Slagle and Jones
comprise the outfield. A great staff

rience to take them out Of the expert

In view of the expense of the trip
Manager Harris has decided to charge
a 50-cent admission at these two games
only. with an extra tariff of 20 cents
for the grand stand. During the reg
ular season, however, the old rate of
25 cents will prevail.
San Francisco will have a shade the
worst of the games with Chicago, be-
cause inclement weather has prevented

Modicum, the Burns handicap win
ner, lost the $1,000 handicap over one
and an eighth miles at Oakland track
Yesterday after it looked as if his
number must be flashed first. He was
ridden by Mountain and in the bet
ting closed favorite Elliott and
the McAlester entry, Horatius and
Bombardier.
Mountain took Modicum out in
front at the start and the only one to
prove at all troublesome was Key
note. a hundred-pounder, which was
not thoroughly subdued until the pad
dock was almost reached

played any judgment in picking his
vav and had taken the dryer going

all likelihood have been returned the
winner. Leader was slow to leave the
barrier and Martin apparently made
no effort to persevere with him.
SIX CHOICES LOSE.
Favorite players are ekeing out a
precarious existence these days. Six
straight choices had their pictures
turned toward the wall and the book
maker who did not collect something
for himself must needs be a clumsy
artist with the chalk and chamois.
Buxton did ride with some show Of
animation on Assessment, landing the
gelding first for the opening event at
odds of 9 to l. Rustic Girl. backed
from 20 down to II, made all the run

head. Jack Martin gave the favorite,

BETTORS SEEK
LARGER ODDS
The Adherents of COrbett
and Britt Are Unable to
Agree on Opening Price
BOTH BOXERS ARE BUSY
Neither Man Neglects Train
ING for a Moment and the
Sparring Partners Suffer

The battalions of sportsmen who ex-
pect to wager little on the Corbett-
Britt fight lined up yesterday and sur
veyed the situation. The outcome was
that the Corbett adherents offered to
bet 100 to 70 an indefinite number Of
times on the chances of the feather
weight champion
This was apparently higher than the
Britt men wanted to go, the latter
thinking the odds should be 100 to co.
The result was "a deadlock for the time
being. Some private wagers have been
made, one gentleman betting $4,000 on
Corbett against $1,000 on Britt. 1t is
not expected Corbett's friends will get
much money at that price.
1t was rough house day at Camp Cor
bett yesterday and consequently the
wee champion must have taken off a
few pounds Of that superfiuous weight.
Although the weather was not hot, Cor
bett forced the perspiration to ooze
through the pores of his skin for
fare We well. He finished up his days
work looking fit for action.
The customary run in the morning
along the road was an extra long one
and it was fast and strenuous. The
champion was not in any particular
hurry to get busy in the gymnasium
and the big crowd that gathered at
the tavern had to wait around and
watch the champion phone to the book
makers and loll around till he got good
and ready to enter upon his afternoons
work which was about 3. 80 o'clock
