SHARP WATCH Is
KEPT ON AUTO
SCORCHERS

In keeping with the promises made
to the Park Commissioners. the special
officers supplied by the Automobile
Club of California have been doing
good work. Yesterday they stationed
themselves at the Stanyan-street en-
trance to the park and held up every
automobile that entered. The num-
bers were examined and the badges
and other things required by the law
noted. All those not up to the law
were given a first notice as a warning.
If they are held up a second time they
viii be escorted to the police station
and then to the Police Court the next
morning. One of the officers of the
club in speaking of the work yester-
day, said:
we are going to put stop to this
disregard of the law. 1t is for the
benefit of the sport and for the benefit.
of the autoists in general. The Of
fcers Of the club want the privileges of
the park and we want these privileges
enlarged, not restricted. Every per-
son who does not live up to the park
ordinances is bringing the rest of the
Automobiles into disrepute and
jeopardizing the pleasure of those try
ing to observe the law We are not
going into the matter in half-hearted
way. Within the next sixty days we
hope to bring to justice all, those who
disregard the rights of others. Those
who went through the park today saw
that we were in earnest
A set of moving pictures has been
secured of the run made by Fernando
Nelson in his Columbia car when he
made the best time between here and
Los Angeles. The pictures were taken
at the changing station at San Luis
Obispo. They show the automobile
rushing up to the station and the
drivers changing. while the crew put
in gasoline and lubricating oil. The
picture will be exhibited at one of the
local theaters and then will be sent to
Los Angeles. Later they will be sent

coast how they break records in the

Opening day having gone down
into history as the most auspl-
cious Inauguration of racing
season in the annals of the turf
on the Pacific Slope, the racing
game at Elneryville may now be
expected to settle down into the
ordinary everyday routine That
the normal attendance of regulars
will be in excess of previous sea-
sons seems to be assured by the
record breaking attendance of
opening day. Public interest in
the sport seems to be keener than
ever before, and the general ex-
pectation is that interest will in
crease rather than diminish as the
season progresses
While the card offered for to-
day does not abound in class, the
fields appear to be well balanced
and some excellent sport may be ex-
pected. The first event on the card is a
high-class subscription selling race at

five furlong dash for two-year- ODDS
with twelve carded to go. Laura E
ran some fair races on Eastern tracks
and is selected to win in this COM
pany Banlado is looked upon as the
contender
The third race will be a seven-fur-
long selling affair for mares. Alice

five pounds, may win If the boy does

satisfactorily. The fourth race is for

able winner
If Cloudlight runs up to her work,
she should win the fifth event. six
furlong purse race. She has outworked
ANYTHING at the track and is apparently
right on edge. Blue Eyes was a con-
sistent performer on the northern cir
cult and should win the last race of the
day from King Cole, a pretty shifty
selling platter from the Hildreth stable.
George Rose, one of the. principal
stockholders in the Ascot Park racing
plant. states that he is in constant
touch with the situation and that all
talk of a reduction in the length of
the meeting in the southern city is
premature. He is perfectly confident
that the meeting will be carried out as
scheduled for ninety days, and expects
that q definite announcement to that
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1906-11-19

effect will be made tomorrow after a
meeting of the City Council of Los
Angeles tonight when it is expected
that the authorities will come to the
relief of the horsemen with such legfs-
lation as may be necessary to permit
the meeting to go on as scheduled.
The feature events scheduled for the
week include the Firenze handicap for
three-year-olds and upward, over the
Futurity course, tomorrow; the Gloam-
ing handicap at mile, for three-year-
olds and upward, on Wednesday; the
Tradition handicap at six furlongs, for
three-year- and upward, on Friday,
and the Artful handicap at a mile and
100 yards, for three-year- and up
ward, on Saturday.
Corrigan's victory In the Opening
handicap gave DOC" Rowell a COM
Portable lead IN the list of winning
owners. The race was worth $4,000 to
the winner. Sam Hildreth started four
horses on Saturday, and all four fin
ished within the money, with a total
of $915 in winnings.
Corrgan is the only horse that has
won the Opening handicap twice. This
aged son of Sain appears to have been
rejuvenated by his trip East during
the summer. He won his last start
previous to Saturday. defeating a
classy field at Louisville.
1t looks as though the Touhey sta

Canique, which, off badly and poorly
ridden, finished close up in the two
year-old event on Saturday This one
will win in good company when prop
erly handled.
Tommy Sandy's ride on Corrigan
must have made doc Rowell's heart
rejoice, even though it lost him his bet
on Logistilla- Rowell, who is conceded
to know good boy when he sees him,
firmly believes that Sandy has bright
future in the saddle.

TREE SAYS JONES
WAS FOOLISH

LONDON. Nov. 1S.=The Duke of Ar
gyle presided at a dinner at the Hotel
Cecil tonight to celebrate the passage
of Mr. O'Connor's music playwright act
There was a notable company of per-
sons present, including several MEM
beers of the House of Lords and House
of Commons and representative of all
branches of the musical profession and
of literature and drama All the
speakers praised Mr.. OConnor's energy
and skill in pushing a measure that
will prove beneficial to the musicians
of all lands whose works for so long
have been praised in the United King
dom.
An interesting incident of the even
ing was Beerbohm Trees reference to
Henry Arthur Jones pessimistic utter
ance on the British drama in New York
November 10. With all respect to Mr..
Jones'" said. Mr.. Tree, 81 feel that on
this subject he talked arrant nonsense.
If Mr.. Jones could devote some of the
wondrous energy which he expends at
present in attacking contemporaries to
writing a new play he would outshine
his previous masterpieces"
Tree said Jones took less despond-
emit view of the position on the other
side of the Atlantic, adding:
But then he is on the other side of
the Atlantic. and there is always a
temptation to unfurl the star spangled
banner"
Henry Arthur Jones gave a dinner
last Thursday night at the Hotel st.
Regis in New York City to the drama
lists of the United States In a speech
he encouraged American playwrights,
declaring that, while their efforts were
as yet a trifie crude, there was no
doubt of their pens vitality and that
America was within measurable dis
lance of great American drama.
With reference to conditions in Great
Britain as against those in America,
Jones said that the American drama
was more lusty, healthy and lively than
in England. 1t might be cruder. but
vitality was better than style. Vitality
was the virtue OF youth, style the vir-
tue of old age.

It's somewhat of a novelty to
use canvas as a covering for a

used only a small part of the year.
It is planned to locate the rink
