OLDFIELD WILL
RACE ON COAST
Barney and Coffroth Join Hands
and Intend to Break
Records.

as the Wizard of the Auto" has made
arrangements TO remain on this coast
throughout the summer months and en-
terrain the enthusiasts with a series OF
whirlwind efforts to reduce existing rec

Recently James w Coffroth effected a
combination with Oldfield whereby the
promoter takes charge Of the great driv-
er's affairs for some time to come. Cot
roth is to promote automobile meetings
throughout the state, with Oldfield as the
chief attraction, with a view of interest

completed as yet in regard to any def

Thomas II. Williams for the rental of
Emeryville and Tanforan race tracks for

First Race at EmeryviIle.
The first will be held at Emeryyille on
July Is and Will be followed with a sec
ond gathering at Tanforan a few days
later. The card for the opening day has
not been definitely decided upon but the
purses for professional drivers have been
so IlXed as to attract the best wheel men
in the country. In these races Oldfield
may compete, but at the present moment
II Is his intention to stick closely to the
effort to reduce existing records. In this
respect his chances for success will be
greater at Tanforan than at Emeryville
AT the latter track the jockey club will
not permit the high banking of the turns
and as they are now they are not con-
ducive to record-breaking trials At Tan
foran it is different. Oldfield has inspect
ed that course, and is highly pleased with
1t, inasmuch President Williams will al
low the promoters of the auto meets to do
whatever banking is necessary on the
turns TO make the course the safest in
the country. With this advantage the time
made at Tanforan should be exceedingly
fast.

Frisco Fight Promoters squabbIe.

The old fight between the promoters
of San Francisco is on again. and the
real fighters and fight fans will prob
ably suffer as they did before when
the game was practically killed by the
fight trust.
The new row is headed by Alex
Greggains on one side and Jim CoffrOth
on the other. Cofforth signed Squires
and Burns for July g. and Greggains Sc
cured the signatures of Nelson and
Britt for a match on July 8. On
Thursday the latter fight was post
poned because Nelson is suffering from
an abcess and will not be able to get
in shape.
This will probably passify the rival
factions for the present, but trouble is
sure TO break out again. The two

s. P-O- R-T- OIL O-G-Y
BY w. D. RISHEL.

For the first time in many years a
fight for the heavyweight title in
which a foreigner is one of the con-
testants will take place next week 1t
is the go between Burns and Bill
Squires of Australia. Strange as it
may seem, the American sporting pub
lie to a man is hoping that the Aus
tralian will win. This is not due TO a
lack of patriotism on the part of the
American fighting fans. but their de-
sire to see fighter, with record for
honesty in the ring, triumph over d
fighter who is today branded as a
faker by his own admirers.
The contest on July at San Fran
cisco viii settle beyond all cavil who
is the best man in the world next to
retired champion Jim Jeffries. In spite
of his taking proclivities Burns has
worked himself TO the top of the
American division of heavyweights,
and on dope is the best man TO send
against SQuires.
After a careful perusal of the dope
sent out from the coast, it is a pretty
even guess who will be the winner. In
fact the odds are practically even,
while they should be greatly in favor
of Burns. Probably many of the bet
tiers on the coast in their desire to see
Burns defeated are betting against
their better judgment. Be this as it
may, it must be conceded that there is
plenty of Squires money in sight.
1t would be a great thing for the pu-
gilistic game if SquireS could decisive
ly beat Burns. This would relegate
Brnsso to the rear. where, in company
with Jack O'Brien, he could reflect on
the fact that it pays to be on the
square. With Squites as champion,
even if he is an Australian. it would be
an incentive for some good American
TO go after the title, and then perhaps
heavyweight fights would again be the
features in the great nugiliStic game
