Gently arrived from Toronto and will
remain until the close of the Ascot
season, when their string will be
shipped back east.
S. M. Williams will ship his entire
stable to Oakland before another week.
He said yesterday that he would ship
tonight, taking all his horses except
those which have stake engagements
here and would ship them north as
soon as they filled these engagements.
Williams is dissatisfied with the war
ring conducted by factions of horse
men at Ascot and Will leave the track.
The Newses baseball team and the
jockeys will play on the Boyle Heights
diamond Sunday afternoon. The jock
eys have organized team and are
open to engagements for Sunday
games. Miller, Dugan, Davis, Blu
chanan and several others of the best
riders at Ascot consider themselves
candidates for honors as baseball
heroes and will don knickerbockers

"Boots" Durnell lost $4,000 on the de-

had lost through the rough-riding tao
tics by which Big Ben was nearly put
over the fence on the back stretch he

wherein he might express his opinions
freely and without interruption or dis
turbing anybody. Had Big Ben been
given a square deal and permitted to
run his race he could hardly have lost.
Louis Trumper, wealthy hotel pro-
| prietor of st. Louis who is spending
the winter IN Los Angeles, experienced
| the pleasant sensation of winning the
| expenses of his trip by cashing ticket
which called for $1,000 to $1,000 when
Montezuma went under the wire in the

and usually wins whenever he sends in

believes Is an important arrest Tues.

who gave his name as G. b. Davis
