SAN FRANCISCO Dec. 2s.-The
handbooks and pool rooms here have
agreed among themselves to take no
more bets on Los Angeles races and,
beginning today, not even a comblna-
ilOn OF the local horses with one Los
Angeles entry included was accepted.
" seems that prominent local tailor
with rooms in the Chronicle building
has been hitting the local layers for
thousands of late and IL was asserted
the horses would not be played I'm Los
Angeles so as to let the odds increase
and the clique at Ascot would place
their money here through the tailor
and a friend.
On Tuesday odds of to I were ac-
| cepted on n horse running at Ascot,
while the odds at Los Angeles were
to |; $1,000 is said to have been won
on this venture, Joe Harvey being hit
the hardest.
1t is estimated that fully $4,000 dol
lars has been taken out of the Frisco
handbooks in the last three weeks on
horses started at Ascot, while the Los
Angeles charts showed the prices had
heightened, indicating that the horses
had not been played at the track.
Heavy wagerS were offered on
Bribery in first race at Ascot today,
but were not accepted. Now that the
local pool rooms refuse to accept any
ry Steil is going to Seattle to place
wagers.
Four favorites scored at Ingleside
this afternoon. The only outsider to
score was Jim Neils Disturber, which
went to the post at 16 to / in the sec
ond race. He passed Bountful in the
stretch and won handily at the end.
Lady Toddington ran away with the
first race. 1t was her first appear
ance here.
Bucolic just did land the third race.
Radtke put up a wonderful finish on
My Order and almost nailed Bucolic.
Gossper, Hilee and Ramus won their
respective races in easy style.
Announcement was made today that
the California Jockey club would move
back to Oakland Monday for the ball
ance Of the season. This move is to
be made because of the lack of trans
portation facilities to Ingleside and the
fact that Oakland draws better than
Ingleside.
Weights for probable starters in the
New Years handicap at a mile and
one-eighth are as follows: Bearcatcher,

Short work is made of everything
that looks like n tout at Ascot and
no race course in the world is freer
of this offensive pest than the local
track, although the utmost vigilance
of the management and the Pinkertons
is not always successful in detecting
spasmodic touting by former pool buy
ers from st. Louis. New Orleans and
elsewhere. superintendent Butler of
Ascot Pinkerton brigade knows these
touts by sight and keeps them under
surveillance whenever found inside the
inclosure and has frequently escorted
them TO the gate and invited them to
stay outside. one notable example
was made of former employe of the
track who was the cause of the only
complaint made this season and this
individual has not been seen at the
track in more than two weeks.
Judges Hamilton and Cole have done
much to elevate the game at Ascot
this season and are entitled TO the
lions share of the praise for the sue
cess of the meeting thus far. In their
efforts at obtaining clean racing and
removing the offensive element of the
game arising from inconsistent per-
formances of horses. fraud and cheat
ing by horsemen and touting about the
track the judges have shown an un-
relenting vigilance and have been re-
warded with the plaudlts of the race
going public. Although there have
been many close and hair-raising fin
ishes. the decision of the judges has
always met with popular approval and
not once this season has the audience
witnessed the disgraceful scene of a
bowling mob disputing the decision as
has been seen at other courses. If
they have made any errors of judg-

Acquaintances of II. i. Jones in
dulged in a kidding" bee at his eX
pense after he bought The Huguenot
yesterday. Some one suggested that as
The Huguenot was only IA years old he
was liable to an attack of shin buck
or colt distemper, while William
Walker. from whom Jones got The
Huguenot by bidding him up in the
second race, apologized for the lack OF
time which prevented him presenting
suit of clothes and box of cigars as
bonus to make the transaction possess
the element of value received. Walker
paid 5000 for The Huguenot a few days
ago, won the second race with him yes
terday and would not protect him on
bid of 5000.
Fireball, which was slightly injured
in his race against Handzarra couple
of weeks ago and laid up for several
days thereby, sustained another and
more severe injury in his last race
against Big Ben and Don Domo. While
standing at the post he shot his foot
into a hole next to the boards on the
side of the track and in jerking it
out he cut the leg severely and has
since been lame. The leg swelled con-
siderably and is yet sore. Trainer Dick
William is of the opinion that Fire
ball will not be able to start in the
Mount Lowe handicap Saturday, but
believes the good colt will round to
in short time and be able to race
next week.
Alderman Bait and Orchan from
Boots" Durnells stable are being
schooled over the jumps and Orchan is
entered in the Friday steeplechase
event. The two horses were sent out to
learn the business yesterday before the
first race and Alderman Bait tried TO
make the Jump but fell and rolled over
on Jockey IG. Morper. breaking Nor
per's leg and severely bruising him.
Orchan declined TO go over the hurdle,
although repeatedly sent toward 1t on
the run and whipped by the assistants.
After Bait fell he scrambled to his feet
and struck out for the stable like Don
Domo turning into the stretch, and
stable hands could not head him Off
until he was i'm front Of his stall door.
Few race courses west OF New York
can boast of the high class riding
talent that is at Ascot this season.
Ingleside supporters are all puffed up
because Knapp, Radtke and Mcbride
are riding at the northern course. but
Ascot outclasses them with Miller,
"Puddn" Mcdaniel, Bullman and a
host of other capable boys. Willie
Dugan is leading the list at Ascot and

SHOOTING QUAIL AT VENTURA

Incoming huntsmen report that the
best quail shooting at present is in the
vicinity of Ventura, though the birds
are timid, with the result that a good
bag is difficult to secure. Several
parties are getting the duck limit at
Newport beach, where the sport is the
best in the south.
