The Calls Selections
By j. r. Jeffery

The Thora handicap at i've and a half
furlongs, the feature OF today's card
at Emeryville. Will be contested by four
OF the crack sprinters in training at the
track The small but select field will
be made up of ". b. Jennings Shot
Gun. C. c. DurneIrs Fireball. the Maple
Stables ST. Francis and c. E MUIR
rays Collector Jessup. Shot Gun has
been assigned top weight of 120 pounds,
which is easy for him 10 handle The
track will be exactly to his liking and
II he Is not allowed TO run the first
part Of the race too fast. he should turn
the tables on FfrebaIl, who defeated
him the last time the pair hooked up
Miller will be up on Fireball and Brown
VIII have the mount on Shot Gun. The
latter quit to nothing in his last race
after setting sizzling pace for the
first three ighths. ST. Francis ran a
good second to f. W. Barr on Saturday
and might prove dangerous today If
Fireball and Shot Gun raced their heads
off in front. Collector Jessup has shown
his true form in only one race this
season, when he won. In his subse-
quent starts he has had poor racing
luck
Aside from the handicap the only
race on the card with any pretension
TO class is the last, at a mile. Boloman
ran a good second to Nealon the other
day and looks TO have his field safe.
Lubin and Rightful are likely to fight
it out for the place. Outside of Bolo-
man, none Of the entries in this event
have been showing much in public
Nine two-year-old maidens will meet
in the first at, six furlongs. Al Lindley
has run several fair races and should
graduate from the maiden ranks. Paso-
della ran well his last out and is the
contender. Ardenes. from the Baldwin
stable, is a fair FLY and might prove
dangerous. The others are not much.
The second presents an open look
Distributor can beat this kind of a
field if he gets away. well. He has
no apprentice allowance and will have
a good boy up today. Bell Reed ran
a close second TO Jake Ward Friday
and is dangerous. ". A. Powell might
be right there even though it is the
first out for this Mccanerty mudder.
Marie H, Crigii Hersain and DR.. Sher-
man also look to have a chance.
Neptunus. with Miller up, should win
the third at six furiongs. Comilfo.
Watchful, Shady Lad, Sea Lad ana
Judge are the contenders and 1T would
not be surprising II the finish Is very
close
The fifth is a tough one to size up.
Dorado is running for the first time in
new colors. She is working well. as is
Schreiber's The Only Way. The latter
was a fair performer in the East and
may win if he has a good boy up. Baker
and Liberto look to have an outside

TONOPAH, Dec. 17.-Manager Riley
of the Casino Athletic Club is dlpio-
mat when it comes to handling pugi-
lists in training. From the accompany
ing photos one can gain fair idea
of the physical proportions or Josephus
Cans and Kid Herman. the principals
of the battle which is billed to come
off in Tonopah on the first day OF the
new year.
In order to bring Cans and Herman
together to pose for their pictures
Riley was forced to resort 10 all the
tact at his command Some few days
ago Joe and Kid Herman met in Riley s
office and in discussion that came
up about the fight the two men were
drawn into a discussion that waXed
warm and came within an ace OF bring

This was the first intimation that

would also be utilized as a resting up
place for the horses that he brings to
the coast each year from his Missouri
breeding farm, which would be in no
way affected by the new enterprise
When Schneider on Friday last con-
hrmed the report of the sale of Tony
Faust 10 s. c. Hildreth, which choice
bit Of news. by the way, was exclu-
siveIy announced in Saturdays Call, he
made this statement: People have
been given an erroneous impression
that nay good horses are not for sale.

horse that L own If ! can get what !

/ naturally like to see the horses that

have not always done so is not the
fault of the horse, but of those who
have had the handling Of them"
Schneider makes no secret of bis be-
lief that Miss Officious, a filly of his
that showed good form in the Middle
West. will win the California oaks.
She had not been doing well since ar
irving here until the past week.
Trainer Henry now notices an improve
ment in her condition and expects to
get her. TO the races next week. She
is expected to be a particularly nice
flly over a route.
The $1,000 special race at a mile, pro-
posed for Wednesday, has been de-
clared off on account of the failure of
Borghesi and Proper to enter. Trainer
Randall was of the opinion that
Borghesi would not do himself justice
in the deep going and decided not to
start the horse for fear that the race
might unfit him for the Christmas
handicap a week hence.
Jockey Joe Mcbride resumed riding
yesterday after having been out of the
saddle for a fortnight on account OF
an injury to his leg. He had only one
mount the 10 to ] shot Mabel Hol-
lander, with which he finished third

"The conservative law-loving and

Gov. Cobb for standing for the enforce

forcement is the quickest way to bring

Mayor Dunton promises a reign OF
law and order In his address he says:
The laws of this State and of this city
enacted by the people, either directly
or through their representatives, pre-
sumably express their will. If their
wishes change they may conformably
thereto change their laws, but while
law is law, those who have freely sworn
TO enforce the law have no honorable
alternative but to resign or do their
duty.
He recommends the members of the
city council to familiariZe themselves
with the city ordinances, many OF
which have for years remained dead
letter. Indeed it was remarked by one
citizen not long ago that the city Of
fcials themselves were violating the
ordinances daily; and we think that a
careful reading of the ordinances would
warrant this statement. The Mayor
suggests that the ordinances may be
amended "as the needs of our city re-
quire," but in the meantime enjoins
upon the city council "the duty of cor
daily supporting your officers in the
performance of their duty under exist
ing laws"
