Tacoma Comes
Mike Fisher and his tribe of wander
ers are due to open a seven days en-
gagement with the Angels tomorrow
afternoon. If the Tigers claws are no
sharper than when they were last here,
Cap Dillon and his band ought to take
'em ALL The Angels have been playing

Betting On Credit
There is no danger of the adoption Of
the French method of plunging on the
races. over in Paris they allow sports"
to be on credit using their honor as
the credit mark If that system could
only be introduced in America, the ants
would soon see a settlement of the
bookmaking problem. Plungers would
become as thick as fleas in a sandplle
and bookmakers would overcrowd the
home for the feeble minded.

Abe Attell is chagrined at the con-
temptuous stare with which Terry Nc
Govern has greeted the formers chal-

Stanford VS.. Berkeley
The event in football circles this
week will be the meeting of Stanford
and Berkeley at Palo Alto next Satur-
day. Stanford enthusiasts are not at
all satisfied with the showing of the
cardinals lately and the showing Sat
urday against the U. S. G. eleven did
not raise their hopes any. A large
number of rooters for the cardinals
and blue and gold will be present from
Los Angeles, going in two special cars
attached to the Sunset limited, which
leaves Friday afternoon.
Premier Jockeys Coming
This winter will witness the appear
ance of the best that exists in the
| American riding line, as all the crack
eastern Jockeys are coming to the coast
The California tracks will share them
in about an equal proportion, but it Is
probable that during the winter all the
good Jockeys will ride at Oakland and
Ascot. This confirms the report that
the best eastern stables will race or
the coast instead Of risking the yellow
fever and outlaw rules that may accrue
to the Crescent city meetings.
Pick Yale to Win
Local football enthusiasts have beer
keeping tab on the performances of the
eastern football elevens this season
with a more critical eye than hereto
fore, and the Yale rooters are becoming
| loud in their predictions of victorious
season for Old Eli. Yale's terrific drub-
bling of all opponents thus far and the
better showing of the Yale eleven as
compared with Harvard and Priuce'
ton. her two most worthy foes, giv'
courage to the Yale rooters in theil
hopes for football honors this year.

The first of the eastern specials with
horses for Ascot is due to arrive to-
morrow morning, nearly two hundred
horses coming in this bunch. Others
are expected to leave for Ascot after
the Aqueduct and Bennings meetings

in the west will be seen at Ascot
this winter. Eastern horses are coming
by the train loads and the dates OF

been so arranged that horses may be
shipped from one track to the Other
and contest in all these events.
