a length before Viona, another outsider.
Teddy Robinson drilled along with Blue

the stretch. when he let the mare down.
She went to the post a to favorite
and disposed of Hippocrates and Cabin,
without great effort.
NOTES OF THE TRACK.
Teddy Robinson and Rice entered the
distinguished service column, each rid
ing two winners.
There will be no racing at Oakland
next Monday. Beginning Tuesday and
continuing until the close of the sea-
each day. This necessitates calling the
horses to the post for the first race at
lao p. m instead of as formerly.
Al Morrissey. a well known member
of the bookmaking fraternity. left for
New York on last nights overland
train.
Harry Stuart who formerly rode for
c. W. Chappell, and two exercise boys
departed on a steamer for Peru yester-
day. The boys go under contract to a
South American turfman and expect to
return with some money.
Wally Brinkworth will bid the Oak
land game good-by and start for Mem
phis tomorrow. Wally has Silverskin
and several other useful performers in
training at the Southern track
Jockey Patsy Phillips has been re-
stored to good standing.
George Rose. who has only been
booking at Oakland about a week. is
more than $4,000 to the good.
Among other big winners at Oakland
are Billy Engstrom, who has laid away
$4,000. and "Plunger" McManus, with
$4,000 as the result of his seasons Ia
Dor. On a short lay Sam Shaen has
cleaned up $4,000.
j. J. Walsh rode an excellent race on
the 100 to l shot. ]. w. Dahney. which
finished second to Epicure. The SER
vices of Billy Cahill's rider are now in
big demand. Walsh also landed Viona,
another long priced one, in the place.
1t often happens If a horse receives a
poor start and closes very strong as the
leaders are firing the starter falls in for
a cussing. and everybody is telling his
neighbor how far the horse would have
won with a decent send off. Watercure
got away nicely yesterday. held a
prominent position to the stretch and
then followed the fireworks.
The half length separating Chief
Whitman and Alma Gardia at the finish
of the first race meant loss of $4,000
to III. S. Newman, owner of the latter.
The Texas owner and his friends plas-
tered the ring with coin. getting $4,000
on at an average of to I. 1t was only
a f1uke that they did not cash and Alma
will have to go back into the pickle
vat again.

BELMONT SCHOOL DENIED
ADMITTANCE TO FIELD DAY
Academic League Turns Down Petition
of institution That Left the Ranks
Some Time Ago.


The Academic Athletic League of CAL
ifornia held a regular meeting last
night at the Cogswell Polytechnic Col
lege for the purpose OF transactins i'm
portant business. Nineteen schools sent
delegates TO the meeting. which was
enouah for a quorum. For failure to
send delegate TO one of the last three
meetings the Hitchcock Military Acad-
emy was expelled.
Belmont sent a communication to Sec
retary Potts. asking for permission TO
compete in today's field day at Berke-
ley and expressed a Willingness to pay
the customary entrance fee, but con-
sidering that Belmont left the league
some time ago under undesirable cir
cumstances, the members present deem
ed it best to deny the school the privi-
lege.
Centervil1e High School was admitted
TO the league. The A. A l. baseball
league this spring will be composed OF
the northern, eastern, western, SOUTH
ern and San Francisco Sub-leagues.

Twenty-nine innocent looking little
Dook,nakers breathed an awful sigh OF
relief when Alma Gardia finished second
for the introductory five and half FUR

day. The stable folks had the Texas-

Little Preston had the mount on the

tons Alma only lost to the pacemaker,

PRIVATE FISHING GROUNDS
MUST NOW BE ABOLISHED
Supervisors and Board OF Trade OF
Santa Cruz County Inaugurate
New Movement.

SANTA CRUZ, April "a movement
for the abolition of private fishing
grounds on streams in this county was
started today when DR.. c. w. Hubbard,
representing the Southern Pacific Com
pany and w. w. Richards of San Fran
cisco. and representatives of the local
Board of Trade appeared before the
Santa Cruz Supervisors and asked their
support to this end. Strong speeches
were made in favor of keeping the
streams open to the public, especially
since the county and the Southern Pa
cific have expended thousands of dol
lars on the BroOkda1e fish hatchery,
which has stocked the streams with
fish as never before.
The Supervisors passed a resolution
in favor of the movement and the Board
of Trade and game protectors of the
county will at once start petitions
pledging property-owners not 10 lease
fishing privileges.

SHOT PUT ENDS
IN A FATALITY
Dale Norton, a 15-Year-Old
Lad, Dies After Being Hit
ON Head by Schoolmate
BOY HELD BLAMELESS
Field Day Practice at a
Los Angeles Institution
Has a Sad Termination

LOS ANGELES, April s.-Dale Norton.
aged To- a student at Harvard School
died today from the effects of accidental
| injuries sustained yesterday while he
was watching the track team practicine
for the interscholastic meet to be held
tomorrow. Joseph Holiday, Norton s
roommate, was putting the shot. He had
made several trials and Norton urged him
to make one more attempt to beat his
best score. He threw the twelve-pound
ball Ct .ron with all his strength and
as he did so his foot slipped and the
missile struck Norton on the side OF the
head
The injured boy was carried into the
school building and soon recovered con-
sciousness. He again became unconscious
while on the way to hospital. Sur
geons resorted to every known means to
save his life, but without success He
died this morning.
The autopsy showed that the boys
skull had been fractured and that q blood
vessel on the brain had been ruptured.
No blame attaches to the boy who threw
the shot, the tragedy having been wit
messed by several instructors at the
school, all of whom declare that 1t was
an accident.

ONE FIGHT OMITTED.
What was expected to prove one of the
great fiF s of the tournament did not
take pla T. Rough House" Mcdonald
won a bloodless victory in the 145-pound
class. He drew two byes and was to have
met H. L. McKinnon of Boston for the
championship. McKinnon injured his right
hand badly in his bout with Ellis, so that
the hard-hitting welter-weights did not
come together.
The closing bout of the tourname mt,
while one of the shortest. was also one
of the most sensational. Schulken of the
Olympic Club met Kirchner. an unat-
tached boxer. The heavy-weights began
to slug from the call of time and both
landed hard rights to the jaw almost sim
Ultaneously. Schulken then caught his op-
ponent a hard blow over the left eye and
a tiny stream of blood began to tricke
down his cheek. Kirchner came back and
knocked Schulken TO his knees with tre-
nendous blow to the jaw. The spectators
were yelling like madmen when Schulken
gradually assumed an upright position
IT seemed he could not continue, but he
dashed out with his right and caught
I<irchner flush on the jaw. The latter
went down as though felled by an ak. He
was completely out, but writhed about the
wiring. For time 1t seemed he might be
seriously hurt, but he gradually recovered
and was led gently out of the ring by his
seconds.
The attendance was the largest Of
the season, making the tournament a
success financially.
