ACTRESS BUYS
SOhOMA GIRL
Sensation of the Year in TrOt-
ting Circles Added to Wo-
mans Fast StepperS.

Miss Lolita Crabtree, better known, per-
haps, as Lolita, the former actress, has
again gratified the ambition which has
of late years become the passion of her
life, the ambition to own the best trot-
ting horse in the grand circuit. Last
week she paid the great price of $4,000
for Sonoma Girl, the sensation Of the year
in trotting circles The mare was pur-
chased from the man who brought her
from the Pacific coast to startle the race
goers of the east-J. D. Springer of Los
Angeles.
In paying this prohibitive price for
trotter, Lolita has simply shown that she
is DESTROYS of owning and of having in
her own stable, which already contains
some of the fleetest harness horses in
the world, the best that there is on the
turf.
Also Bought Nutboy.
She has time and again purchased trot-
tiers and PAGERS which have shown either
results or promises, her most notewor-
thy achievement in that line up to last
week being the purchase of NUtboy
which was the sensation of last year, as
Sonoma Girl is the sensation of this year.
NutbOy in 1906 won the Massachusetts
stake the Charter Oak, the Ohio and
the Pennsylvania, record of which any
horse owner in the country might well be
proud.
Sonoma Girl, up to the time of the Buff
falo meeting, was the unbeaten queen
of the turf. The Merchants and Manu-
facturers' stake at the Detroit meeting
was hers easily, and she had far out
classed in all her races anything that
scored with her. At Buffalo on August
s. in the third heat of the Empire State
stakes, Sonoma Girl ran away, but the
judges placed her sixth in that heat
despite the protest of the other drivers.
When the race was resumed Sonoma Girl
won it.

BOOST SQU|RES
FOR ANOTHER GO
Frisco Fight Promoters Think
Famous Australian Lemon
Should Have Second Trial.

San Francisco, AuguSt.-BII Squires
the Australian champion, is back from
the wilds of Humboldt and has taken up
his quarters again at Billy Shannon's
condition camp, near San Rafael.
Squires was visited today by Jack Nc
Namara of Toms Cabin. Mcnamara is
an intimate friend of Barney Reynolds
who came here with Squires. McNamara
had quite talk with the Antipodean
heavy weight and as a result Squires has
decided to enter the ring again and will
endeavor to show San Francisco fight
patrons that he is not as poor a performer
as his showing with Tommy Burns would
suggest
Since his quick defeat by Burns, Squires
hasn't been sulking in his tent exactly.
but he has displayed an inclination to
avoid his newly made friends on this
side of the Pacific 1t is one thing to

the experts there pronouncing you world

tirely different. to run up against defeat

Even Squires Was Disguised.
It was disgust. engendered by the sud-
den dashing of his hopes. that caused
SQuires to hike to Humboldt and bury
himself in a lumber camp He might
have been there yet, only that fog is
prevalent in Humboldt at present. and if
there is anything that "Bosher Bill de-
tests it is the chill white mist that
sweeps in from the sea Bill is a warm
weather fiend and the climate of San
Rafael is the best he has happened on

When Squires learned that the sports
Of San Francisco considered it but fair
that he should be given a chance TO re-
deem himself ne sat up and began to take
notice of Mcnamara conversation. He
agreed to box any heavyweight selected
by Jim Coffroth before the open-air sea-
son ct the Mission street arena closes.
Coffroth says he will look around for d
suitable opportunity and will arrange the
match for some afternoon late in Septem-
Der or early in October
It is probable the winner of the
Schreck-Kaufman contest will be given
the first chance, The Australian says he
is not particular whom he meets. He
simply wants to prove he is not the duff
fer that an unkind fate has so far made
him out to be.
