The card for today at Emeryville is
of very moderate caliber and several of
the races have little in the way of class
to commend them. W B. Jennings
Furze has run second to Canique and
Christmastlde her last two outs and
seems TO be placed where she can grad
uate from the maiden ranks by win
ming the opening event Como also ran
a close second TO Canique and will be
the contender. with a fair chance of
winning. Pasodella should be third.
The second race is almost devoid OF
any reliable form and almost any of
those entered might win. Major Tenny
is mudder, and if he shows his old
time form may earn brackets The
Only Way. from the Schneider stable
ran fair races in the Middle West and
looks to be the contender, although his
only start here showed nothing as to
his form Trapsetter finished close up
TO the money on Wednesday and may
improve enough to get a piece of it
today
OF those entered for the third, Lone
Wolf is a great mudder and being in
fair shape should win. Bearskin has
run a couple of fair races and may get
the place. Graphite was formerly a
fair sort, but has not shown much SO
far.
Inc IOuELH OEuSS 4 Dulc0 OF speed
burners together. of which E. NJ Brat
tain looks the best-on his recent defeat
of Van Ness. Tim Hurst ran a good
race TO Clandestine day or two ago
and may be the contender Shady Lad
is likely to finish within the money. al
though Judge, Cholk Hedrick, Darthuia
and Petit Due all have a chance TO up
set things.
Dolinds is selected to win the fifth
on his victory of last week. when he
defeated Msssa with ease in good time.
and also on his third to Ramus and
Logistolia in the Artful Handicap
Massa looks next best, with Ed Sheri-
dan not far away.
In the final race E. ". Barr is the
class and should win, even il il is his
first out. He is a clever colt. Stand
over ran nice race his only out when
he finished second to Sir Edward, and
will probably be the contender. j. e.
Glenn has the reputation of being a
good mudder and will be lighting it out
with Lizaro for third place

Gossip Of the Track

c. z. iBoots) DurneH arrived from
the East just in time TO see the run
ming of the Thanksgiving handicap and
was given a rousing welcome. He was
the recipient of hearty expressions OF
good win on all sides and was warmly
congratulated upon the lifting of the
ban which had been placed upon him in
California last winter He expressed
himself as highly gratified over his re-
instatement and said he was very glad
to get back to California. Besides Fire
ball and the other horses that he al
ready has here. a carload that he
shipped from New York are due to ar
rive at EmeryviIIe today. In the lot
are Nealon, Lotus. Tamaceo. Neptunus
and a two-year-old chestnut colt bred
in France. He hopes to win with all
of these horses during the meeting.
Lotus was considered one of the best
horses in training in America toward
the end of the New York season and
Durnell has leased her racing qualities
for the winter only. Temaceo is a two
year-old of some promise. Neptunus
has been a useful platter. Nealon is
well known Ideally and made good in
the very best of company on the metro
politan tracks during the fall. Grace
full and another horse belonging to Joe
Stern are coming in the Durnell car.
The Durnell colors will be seen at
Emeryville in the immediate future. as
some of the string that have been here
for some weeks in charge of Boots
brother are ready for racing.
Jockey Tommy Clark put in an ap-
pearance at the track yesterday after
a season on the New York tracks.
Tommy has gained some in weight and
will ride here as a free lance His
metropolitan experience should be of
untold benefit to him.
Jockey j. Ransch, who has been rid
ing abroad for Vanderbilt. was visitor
at the track yesterday, stopping off to
see the running of the Thanksgiving
handicap while en- route to his old
home near Bakersfield for the holidays.
He can ride lighter than he could a
year ago and has closed a contract to
ride in France next year for Jean Pratt.

Molesworth, 1t seems, is the "onlciai appointed to break up games in which an opposing teanpis playing Birmingham to a standstill. It matters not whether he has been officially appointed or not, ii is certain that he breaks them up. He generally hits the ball that scores the man with tlre run that wins the game, or he himself bring it in. Of course if is a matter of chance, partly, and a matter of skill. chiefly, that brings about this result, but the fact remains nevertheless. He has ended more games than any other man in the Southern league this season. He brought in the only and winning run yesterday, which was another to his credit.
 The successful working of the squeeze play is making the Barons famous. It has landed many games on the safe side of the ledger. and yesterday took game from Fisher that. according to all base ball prognostication. should have been landed by him IL is play, when played by the Barons. that cannot be stopped. it matters not whether the opposing team

In case perfect and rapid fielding results. it is nine chances out of ten that the remaining distance will be covered before the ball can be thrown to the catcher, and the catcher touch his man. If the fielding is not perfect the run Is a cinch. Manager Vaughn shows great head work in playing the squeeze. !" The opposing team generally expects the play to be made on the first ball thrown. This is not always the case as was demonstrated yesterday Fisher had thrown several balls to Gear before he tapped the ball. And still Molesworth knew what ball Gear would hit
 The play is the greatest in use. The Barons alone find 1t available.

Minneapolis July 27.-Formal charges that Umpire Owens deliberately placed bets on the nneapolis-Columbus games, the latter to win, for the benefit of a gambling combine in which he was in- terested have been preferred by Secre- tary Lidiard of the Minneapolis Baseball association.
 This is the result of decision which provoked riotous demonstrations at Amer ican association games here last week. The Minneapolis management has been working on the case ever since and has now secured affidavits from three we'll known gamblers that they had an under standing with the umpire whereby they were advised to bet on Columbus. One mans affidavit states that on the occasion of the game of July IS he put up money and paid a commission of 25 per cent to the umpire.
 Two other affidavits swore that they put up s2oo0 of Owens money, who gave
