something somewhere in the wilds OF

A meeting of the Custer Commercial
Club took place at their room on Tues
day night last with Ed. l.. Grantham in
the chair. The gathering for the occa-
sion was not large only % members out
of the 100 enrolled were represented.
The meeting was called mostly for the
purpose of discussing the question Of
what could be done to induce the Grand
Lodge Of the Odd Fellows Society to
build the new Odd Fellows home at this
place. Committees were appointed for
this and other matters to report at a
meeting set for Friday night, the result
of which came too late for this issue.

 It was an off day in the schedule and the ball players took advan- tage of this fact to tempt the tinny tribe that are said to abound in the vicinity of Scott S Station. The Colts say they are sure that there must be plenty of fish in the river at Scott's Sta tion, for the reason that they didn't take any away.

ANGEL CITY POLO|STs
WIN FROM RIVERSIDE
Game Is Played in Stormy
Weather and on a
Muddy Field
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

CORONADO, March An stormy and
clustering weather, the Los Angeles
team defeated the Riverside team, 2
goals to O, this afternoon in the sec
ond match for the polo championship
of the Coronado Country Club. Rain
fell early this morning, but though the
sky was cloudy and a strong south
easterly wind blew, there was no pre-
cipitation during the play. The match
was closely contested
Both goals for Los Angeles were
scored by B. n. Smith Jr., one in the
second period and the other In the
sixth and last.
The Los Angeles team was made up
of II. NJ. Bundrem, No. 1; B. N. Smith
Jr., No. 3; H. Weiss, No. 8; T. Weiss,
back With the exception of Bundrem,
these men had represented Los Ange-
les last year, but their play today
showed considerable improvement. The
best individual playing OF the after
noon was that of Thomas Weiss, who
was sure and accurate in his defense.
The Riverside team consisted of the
same men as last year, except that r.
L. Bettner's place was taken by Dr.
Elmer ]. Boeseke of Santa Barbara,
who played the best game for his team.
The men and their positions were: NJ.
E. Flowers, No. /; H. B. Pattes, No. Q;
E. J. Boeseke, No. 3; Lionel Roberts,
back.
Dr. E. ]. Edmonds of Los Angeles
was referee. f. E. Belleville and r. NJ.
Tobin were umpires and Robert Leigh
ton was timekeeper.
The Santa Monica team will play the
Burlingame team, winners of the last
years championship, tomorrow after
noon. The Santa Monica representa-
tives will be S. F. Nave, r. W. Red
mayne, w. E. Pedley and Frank D.
Hudson. The Burlingame players will
be Z A. Driscoll, w. S. Hobart, r. M.
Tobin and Francis J. Carolan. The loss
of John Lawson, who plays a very
steady game at back, will be felt seri-
ously by the Burllngame team.

SPECIAL p1spAroH TO THE CALL

LOS ANGELES, March 4.-The bank
roll OF every book at Ascot was smaller
tonight than 1t was this morning be-
cause of killing made on the sec
ond race today. In the opening betting
on that event Blumenthal was posted at
so to 1 and there was such 8 rush to
get money on the old fellow at that
figure that within five minutes the price
had been lowered to II to 1. Even
then the play continued, and many of
the layers wiped Blumenthal off their
blackboards altogether. The backing
of the horse was confined to a select
coterie, the general public not having
got the tip. Some thousands of dollars
were taken out Of the ring by those
who knew what Blumenthal was likely
to do.
Two other long shots came through
during the afternoon. Avontellus won
the fourth event over the Brooks
course with IL to 1 against him. At
one stage of the betting his price was
20. Lille B annexed the fifth at 20
to 1. Stoessel was a 8 to 5 choice In
the Avontellus race and finished out
the money.
III. Mason took Ormonde's Right from
P. Peters with a bid of S250O after the
Ormonde horse had won the third race.

EASTERN BOXER AGREES
TO LOCAL MANS TERMS
Posts $500 Forfsft to Be at
133 Pounds at the
Ringside

Final details were arranged last
night for a fight between "Cyclons'
Johnny Thompson and Dick Hyland.
and it now seems that March will usher
In the first professional contest OF the
year over the twenty-round route.
Rawhide Kelley, manager OF Thompson.
posted a check for $500 with Morris
Levy last night as a guarantee that his
man would be at weight at ringside.
The contest is set for March 2s.
which falls on a Tuesday. The men
agreed upon Jack Weleh for referee, so
there will be no pickering on this point,
as there was on the weight question.
The articles. which call for the box
ers to weigh in at rfngside at 133
pounds, will necessitate Thompson do
ing some hard work. He is a heavy
lightweight. and many judges of fight
ers believe that the Eastern lad will
hardly be at his best at this notch.
This viii be the third meeting Of the
pair. Each has a winning bracket to
his credit. At Los Angeles, when he
was unheard Of. Thompson won from
Hyland on foul. Their next engage
ment was In the East, when Hyland
won a hair-line decision.
The fighters will begin training in q
rev days Thompson announces that
he will have quarters at a resort at
Sutter street and Preside avenue.
Now that Battling Nelson has re-
turned from his European trip II Is
likely that fight promoters throughout
the country will be angling for his
services. The Dane is entitled to an
other match with Cans. and il would be
popular move with the sporting pub
lie If the two great boxers could be
brought together In the near future.
Nelson has not appeared in a ring en-
Sagement In this city in nearly two
years, and the fight fans undoubtedly
would turn out in numbers to see him
in battle with the colored fighter.
The Central Club offers a high-class
card for next Friday evening. In the
main event Dick Sullivan will meet

liminaries will make up the programme.

The San Francisco call., 1907-03-05

A very attractive and promising card
is down for decision at Emeryville to-
day. Eight two-year-old maidens will
meet in the opening event. Boas, from
the Keene stable, looks best. Gin Hee
showed Improvement last time out and
may be the contender.
William Walkers Happy Rice has
won his last two outs impressivley and
may make 1t three straight in the sec
ond, a selling affair for three-year- olds
at a mile and twenty yards. Bogum
doubtless will be contender. Duke of
Orleans, Treasure Seeker, Gold Heather
and Alaric all have outside chances.
Colonel Applegate's highly priced colt
Wool Sandals should win the third a
five and half-furlong sprint. Sam
Barber appears to be the one that he
will have to beat. Louise Fitzgibbon
and John H. Sheehan look best of the
balance. a
The Gold Lace handicap at five and a
half furlongs, fourth on the programme,
will be the feature event. It is a high
weight affair and will be contested by
Shot Gun, Hector, Mansard, Collector
Jessup and Fireball, all of whom are
noted sprinters. A sizzling race will
probably result. Shot Gun is top
weight with 130 pounds, but as he has
packed similar imposts with success In
the past, the weight ought not to stop
him, especially since the others have
weight up. Fireball shows a disin-
clination to handle weight we'll. Col
lector Jessup is a good weight packer,
and, being in nicely, is likely to get
some Of the money. Mansard does not
seem to be quite good as he was a
while back, but he is likely to be a
keen contender. Hector has shown no
disposition to handle weight success
fully.
The fifth probably will develop into
a stirring contest between Fisher Boy,
Andrew Mack, The Borgian and Man
dator. Fisher Boy would have woS
his last start in good time but for hav-
ing run out in the stretch. Andrew
Mack is right good and will take some
beating If the track should be wet
Mandator seems to have gone back a
bit. The Borgian's last race was a very
creditable effort in high-class company
Rapid Water is the class of the sixth
race and will find the distance to his
liking. Lisaro has been showing high
turn of speed in all his races, and, with
the fast mare Entire Nous, will give
Hildreth's horse run for the money.
The track probably will be unsuitable
for Martinmas and Princess Titania TO
do their best.
