JAKE SANDERS IS
GREAT SPRINT TER
SPEED MARVEL HAS BEATEN
THE BEST
Comes to Ascot Fresh from Triumphs
Over Eastern Cracks and Is
Ready Now to Go to
the Post

Many of the seasons best runners are
quartered at Ascot and others will be
added before the opening day, but to
none will any greater interest attach
than to Jake Sanders, the speedy
sprinter which M. H. Tichenor & Co. re-
Gently acquired by purchase from S. C..
Hildreth in New York.
Jake Sanders is regarded as one of
the gamest and most consistent sprin-
ters now in training and is to be re-
spected in all classes of company,
especially upon heavy track.
Henry McDaniels, trainer for the
tTichenor stable is an enthusiast re-
garding Jake Sanders and believes that
| his speed marvel will top the list of
short distance runners during the win
ter meeting
Jake Sanders comes to Ascot fresh
from the scene of his triumphs against
the best the eastern courses afforded in
his class and is in tip top condition
and now ready to go to the post.
Jake prefers mud and is a bear in that
going. He is a 3-year- old by knight of
Thistle-Active and is a worthy son of
the Knight He is one of the few
sprinters which can go equally well in
mud or upon pasteboard track, and if
he continues to hold his condition he
viii be hard proposition for anything
at mile or less.
With a sharp turn of speed, sound
underpinnings and brave heart, Jake
Sanders will get his portion of the rich
prizes offered by the Ascot manage
ment this season.
Shortly after Jake Sanders was un-
loaded at Ascot he narrowly escaped
severe injuries and possibly death in
the collision in which Springwater and
Schoolcraft were fatally hurt Only the
presence of mind and cool head of the
| boy who was plotting Jake about the
track prevented an accident in which
this speedy animal would have been a
victim.
! Jockey w Buchanan. who rode with
such great success in the east last sea-
son, will have the leg up on Jake when
he goes to the post in his Ascot and
! Oakland engagements.
Buchanan and Jake Sanders will form
| a serious combination for other stables
with entries in events where the
premier jockey and his speedy mount
will participate.
Fred r. Woods of Texas arrived yes
terday from the east with string of
eight horses, including the fast 2-year-
old, Dr. Hollis, which won several
stakes here last spring: Mart Gentry
and the little gray sprinter Seasick
which also won number of good races
at the local track in the colors of the
red, with white cap. Wood has several
good yearlngs from which he expects
much this season.
Jockey w, Fisher arrived yesterday
from New York and will ride for the
McCafferty stable this season. Fisher
is good rider and accept mounts
around ninety-five pounds.
Graceful, which won several races
around New York this season, was
bought last week by Trainer Frank
Kelly for j. Grant Lyman to be raced
at Ascot this season. This one is said
to be a speedy animal with much class
