That Made Milwaukee Famous.

own weather and under every condition
favorable to him, but he has not given
up yet by any means and states, very
truthfully, that a man cannot sail a
boat properly the first time he races
her, and he hopes to improve to such
an extent that in the next race he will
defeat the Folsom boat.
Byron Erkenbrecker, the well known
real estate man and owner of the De-
troit. sailed on the Monsoon and was
greatly disappointed at her defeat. Mr..
Erkenbrecker stated yesterday that his
unfortunate slip from the deck Of the
Monsoon last Saturday was entirely due
to the jib sheets slipping from under a
cIeat and not to a desire on his part to
f1Ed out whether the water was wet or
not, as was laughingly suggested by the
rest of the crew. Such little accidents
are liable to happen to the best of those
who go down to the sea in yachts. and
the commodore, as his yachting friends
call him, enjoyed the joke as much as
anybody and came UP smiling from his
involuntary bath.

DILLON RECEIV ES
EASTERN OFFER
GEORGE TA5EAU OF KANSAS
CITY WANTS ANGEL CAPTAIN
Bernard and Atz Desire to Leave Cali
fornia and Have Communicated
With Columbus and New
Orleans Managers

Capt Dillon has been ordered by
President Bert of the Pacific Coast
league to report at Portland Tuesday.
The team was to have left last night,
but by reason of uncertainty attendant
upon present conditions and because
of the fact that several days salary
is coming to the local players the Angel
nine will not leave until today, il 1t
leaves at all.
Capt. Dillon said yesterday that
tickets were waiting at the Southern
Pacific depot and that he would take
the team north. There is a strong
probability that all the members of the
Seraph nine will not accompany their
teammates to Portland.
1t is known that negotiations have
been opened between eastern managers
and some of the Angel club players.
George Tabeau of the Kansas City
club last night wired Dillon to name his
terms. but it is not known as to wheth-
er the Serapn captain will consider the
proposition. Dillon is Valuah BILE man
and could probably command berth
In either of the big leagues.
There is reason to believe that Jakey
Atz is hobnobblng with the New Or
leans management, while Curtis Ber-
nard would like nothing better than to
travel back to his former stamping
grounds, Columbus. o.
Ralph Tozer said yesterday that he
would not go north with Dillon and
several OF the others manifested a
similar desire to remain in Los An
geles for the present at least.
Morley, when asked last evening as
TO whether the Angels would go north
under his supervision, said they would
not If the Seraphs leave today they
will travel under Pacific Coast man
agement.
Morley has arranged a meeting OF
the Seraphs to at noon today for
the purpose of settling the salary
question.

M|SCH|EFs BEAT
THE MONSOON
EASTERN RACER LOSES TO
COAST BOATS
Open Regatta of the South Coast
Yacht Club at Long Beach
Proves Great
Success
BY Norman Densham

Banzai Joe Fellows, likewise "Wah
Hei." In double victory yesterday he
proved the superiority of his designs
over the much vaunted work of the
eastern crack, Gardner The two Mis-
chiefs / and IL both beat the Monsoon
Joe Pugh's new racer built on imported
lines alta cost of nearly twice that of
either Of the other boats in the open
regatta of the South Coast Yacht club,
held off Long Beach yesterday.
Mischief ii is the largest of the three
boats, judged by racing measurement,
which includes the sail area, so that
she was obliged to allow the Monsoon
one minute and thirteen seconds over
the twelve mile course, The Monsoon
is larger than the Mischief / and all
lowed her two minutes and fifteen sec
onds. Mischief II crossed the finishing
line three minutes ahead of the Pugh
boat, but the latter, although ahead of
the Mischief 1. finished only one minute
and thirty-seven seconds before her,
thus losing the race to both of the
yachts.
Pretty Start
The start was one of the prettiest
ever Witnessed in these waters.
Walter Folsom, who owns the Mis-
chief ii, and Joe Pugh, both elected to
tack backward and forward near the
SldINllS llnC dItVi hhc liiSl gun WAS
fired, while Joe Fellows, who was sail
ing Mischief 1, kept little way to wind
ward with the evident intention of run
ming down on the line with a rap full
and luffing sharply round the buoy.
Fellows got a trifle too far to wind
ward and Joe Pugh too far to leeward
but Walter Folsom hit the happy mean,
and running down on the Monsoon
blanketed her and forced her to make
way for him to round the buoy. BY this
clever manoeuver the Folsom boat shot
into lead of about two lengths at the
very start and gradually increased this
advantage steadily throughout the race
until at the finish she was over half
a mile ahead.
Just as the Monsoon went over the
line the Mischief l shot round the buoy
to windward of her and kept her
blanketed for about five minutes, Civ
ing Walter Folsom good chance to
improve his lead. The Monsoon was
able to work out from under the others
lee, but this took time and she naturally
was not footing very fast while the
other boat was directly on her weather
beam.
Weather Perfect
The weather was perfect from spec
tator's point of view bright and clear
with gentle breeze just strong enough
to tantalize the crews of those boats

LEADERS DEFEAT CHAMPIONS

breaking crowd at National Lea que

champions in their first clash of the
season. Lundgren pitched a superb
game after being hit hard in one inning
and receiving perfect support, while
Ames was batted freely in four innings
and his backing was rather ragged.
Mounted police were kept busy forcing
back the crowd and ground rules were
made which allowed but two bases for

.BE7TERS HAVE
LITTLE CHOICE
BROOKLYN HANDICAP ENTRIES
A QUEER LOT
With ArtfuI and sysonby Out of the
Running, Wise Ones Pin Faith
to Merry Lark and
DandeIon
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 2O-The racing
scene shifts tomorrow from the Bel
mont track to Gravesend, for tomorrow
is Brooklyn handicap day.
Thousands will journey Coney Island
wards for no matter the size or quality
of the entry list the Brooklyn invari-
ably furnishes a good contest. This
year it is an open event, for many of
the greatest racers, including Sysonby
and Artful, have been declared out, and
of the eighteen that remain there is
little to choose among.
The withdrawal of Harry Payne
Whitney's great mare Artful at almost
the last moment has proved decided
disappointment to race goers and in
cidentally has had a marked effect on
the betting.
Artful was highly favored in the Win
ter books and Merry Lark. Dandelion
and one or two others will carry the
money of those that wish to hedge, as
we'll as that of thousands who will do
their first betting as they reach the
track.
Fast Track Promised
The Brooklyn should be run under
favorable conditions as the weather
promises fair and the track is fast
The stake is 100000. and among those
that will face the starter are two
former Brooklyn winners-the Picket
who captured the great stake two years
ago from such horses as Irish Lad and
Hermis, and Delhi. who finished in
front of good field in 1905.
But neither of these thoroughbreds
Is looked on with much general favor
for this running.
Tonight the popular choice is between
Merry Lark and Dandelion, because
both have accomplished something in
actual racing this year. Merry Lark
on his first appearance won the FIX
celsor handicap at a mile and a six
teenth from Roseben, Ormonde's Right,
Eugenla Burch, Colonial Girl and other
fast performers in 1:45 1-5. with 116
pounds up.
Dandelion was beaten only a neck
by the better seasoned Grapple i'm the
Metropolitan at Belmont park, and a
day or two later captured an overnight
handicap at a mile and a. sixteenth in
146 S-5, carrying 1ls pounds.
Distance Against Roseben
The distance is. believed to be too far
for Roseben, who, however in his last
two races had come back to form. He
will be lightly weighted II he runs to-
morrow, which may make considerable
difference.
o-Between. a Shields 4-year old, will
have some following. He Is game and
has run some good races this season.

appear to differ substantially from
