Father catchem Is Coming
II. -. Meyer and c. Steubenbord, jr.
announce that they will ship their en-.
tire strings to the coast after the close
of the Jamaica races. This means
that Father Catchem will race at AS
cot this winter.
Rose Hard Hit
George Rose, the. Ascot odds juggler
was hard hit at Jamaica last Friday
through the wins of True Wing, Sterl-
ing. Prince Frederick and Knight Of
Rhodes. He is said to have lost close
to 100000 on the four races.
Jockey Doyle Comes
w. Doyle, who rode with great sue
cess in Russia, Austria and France last
season, will ride at Ascot for j. E
Cushing this winter at Ascot. Doyle
is q useful boy being able to make
100 pounds without any great effort.
Stakes Closed
Yesterday was the final day for filing
entries for stake events at Ascot park
and when the hour for closing arrived
Manager Brooks announced that all
the stakes had filed well and in some
instances the entries were more plenti-
full than was anticipated.
Sold Jockey Contract
J. G. Ferris has bought the contract
for the services of Jockey r. Fisher
known to Ascot race-goers as "Dick, "
from j. e. Cushing. Price not stated
Fisher is handy boy and can do &c
pounds with ease. He is also good
Judge of pace and an excellent finisher
Bat to Fight Terry
1t is settled that Battling Nelson will
tackle Terry McGovern for six rounds
before Philadelphia club during the
holidays. For six rounds, Terry will
have all the best of the scrap and II
will be no surprise If the resuscitated
Brooklyn whirlwind gets the decision
over Bat. The champ is a stake horse
over long route, but is selling platter
in q limited round affair.
Followed the Flag
The hunch players cashed for once
yesterday when Follow the Flag peeped
at Latonia. Few there were
among the regulars who did not have
all the household goods and whatever
real estate equity there was left of the
homestead bet on this one because
Morris was up. AS the odds permitted,
that is where Follow the Flag landed.
Harry Stevens cashes
Harry Stevens was hot one for
Angelenos yesterday and actually
cashed. Harry's price was quoted at
los in the forenoon, but the stampede
of the bunch for this price caused a
rub and he closed at los. At that 1t
is said there Is not a layer Of odds In
the city who will play even on the
day, as the rolls taken away by the
good thing players were of immense
proportions.
Nolan Talking Again
In the course Of an extended CONVEX
sation to a bunch of reporters in the
east a few days ago, Billy Nolan un-
bosomed himself and said that Battling
Nelson would fight none of his chal-
lengers, not even Terry McGovern, be-
fore springtime. Nolan said that Bat
would probably go to England before
fighting again. There should be a rule
relating to defense Of fight titles in the
same manner that applies to pool cham
pionships. The pool champion must
defend his title in forty days after
challenge is issued or forfeit the title.
Tod Sloan Broke
Tod Sloan, the American jockey who
added to is fame as rider of winners
across the pond and for his noisy gar
ments, electric carriages and associa-
tions with kings, princes, lords and
dukes, as if they were mere schoolboys,
is reported down and out of affairs
financial. How long it will be before
he climbs back into the band wagon
is an uncertainty, but he has the habit
of successfully making the round trip
hot hn ho ho MI
regularly, and he will probably dazzle
American eyes again soon with wad
of greenbacks big enough to choke an
ell toro.
importing "Bob Whites"
Soon the call of the Bob White will
gladden. the ears of the easterner with
all the music that goes with the pc
culiar whistle of this bird. Several
attempts have been made to introduce
the Mississippi valley bird to the Pa
cific coast country, but only lately and
around Sacramento has any huge sue
cess attended the efforts. Half the
sport in hunting this bird is the music
al whistle which attends his maneuvers
Further efforts at a general introduce
tion of the bird to California are to be
made, and 1t Is probable that concerted
efforts will result with protection OF
the bird from slaughter, until 1t shall
become Californla nxture.
Chicago's UnruIy Lid
The Chicago fight lid is about the un-
ruliest thing In existence just now. II
has been off and on many times in the
last two months, the latest announce
ment being that 1t is off again. Mayor
Dunno is having the time of his life
holding 1t down. 1t is announced now
that fights may be pulled of
by clubs where none but men,
bers are present and the con-
testants must be on the membership
roll The sequence is that all the
fighters in the country, good, bad and
Indifferent. are Fastening to "join" the
many boxing clubs in the windy city
and it is expected that under the
mayors ruling some one of the clubs
will soon pull off a contest for the cham
pionship of the world between two OF
the latest "joiners," Marvin Hart and
Bob Fitzsmmons.

the Angelic tribe over Russ Halls am
