The Genevieve handicap, at five and a
half furlongs, is down for decision at
Emeryville this afternoon and has at
tracted small but select entry list.
The starters will be Tony Faust, Hec-
tor, Laura F NJ and Cloudlight. Tony
Faust Is the class of the race, but his
poor showing ih-hfs last start makes
the outcome Of the event appear more
doubtful that it otherwise would be.
He is notably a slow beginner and If he
acts as sourly at the post as he did on
Saturday, 1t may mean repetition of
the result of that event, in which he
finished no better than third. If he
runs his race he may win. S. c. Hill
dreth, his owner, is at loss to ac-
count for the colts behavior on Satur-
day, as he has had little racing and
should not be track-sour. Hector and
Cloudlight have dazzling early speed
and to take their measure Tony Faust
will have to run vastly better race
than he did on Saturday. Laura F NJ,
running for the first time in the colors
Of c. E. Durnell. looks to be up against
ii in this company. Hector, on the
strength of his victory in the Prone
made handicap and his second to Nealon
In the Morinel handicap, appears to
have the best chance to win if Tony
Faust again fails to run UP to expecta-
tions.
The five other events on the card are
sadly deficient in class. A selling sprint
for two-year-olds will open the pro-
gramme. Boas, Wilmore and Rhine
stone look best and appear to be so
evenly matched that any one of the trio
may win with good racing luck. OF the
others, Charay and Heather Scot ap-
pear most promising.
A dozen maidens will meet in the
second and they present little form to
choose between. Huerfano will have
the benefit of Miller's horsemanship
and may win, although the route is
trifie short for this slow beginner
Avona has shown speed and will be
right there, with a good ride. Ell Pri-
nero looks to be in where he will cut
some figure. Water Thrush had speed
her only out, but quit.
Anna Karenina looks best in the
third. The distance will suit Ella True
and she may prove troublesome if she
gets away well. as she has plenty of
speed. Gala looks to hold Calendar
and the others safe for third place.
Swagger and Fury probably wilI fight
it out in the fifth. The former has
been running in improved form and
may be able to take Fury's measure if
a good boy is up Royal Red appears
to hold the rest safe.
Dorado and Beechwood should make
the final race of the day an interesting
contest, as it looks like a close thing
between the pair. Dorado should have
won the last time they hooked up.
Maybe he will turn the tables today, as
the difference in weight remains as it
was when they met before. Ed Sheri-
dan may prove a dangerous factor II
he runs one of his good races.

how much of a winning has been made,
but it is safe 10 say that ii will prove
to have been one of the biggest kill
ings Of the season.
Starter Richard Dwyer was given a
hearty greeting at EmeryVille yester-
day upon his return from Los Angeles
and his work at the barrier during the
afternoon was of the same excellent
and eminently satisfactory character
that marked his service during the
early days Of thelmeeting. 1t is gen
orally hoped that some arrangement
will be possible under which Dwyer
can be retained here for the balance of
the meeting.

generally agreed that the real honors
Of the contest had fallen to Logistilla

and Van Gordan were the recipients OF
general congratulation over the show
ing OF those two sterling performers
The good race run by Ramus also oc-
casioned considerable comment OF a
complimentary nature.
owner Van Gordan, commenting upon
the showing of Sir Edward, said that
he was greatly displeased with the way
in which Jockey Graham had handled
his horse He said that the boy had
not only disregarded his Instructions
but that he lost second money IN the
stretch by going to the whip when IL
was unnecessary. Grahams instruc-
tlons had been to lie back with the
horse in the early part OF the race and

been responsible for his defeat

BERT RESIGNS AS
PRESIDENT OF
LEAGUE

Eugene F Bert, who has acted as
president of the Pacific Coast League
since it's inception. has severed his con-
nection with baseball. Word was re-
ceived by ]. Cal Ewing yesterday from
Bert that he would not return to Cali
fornia, as he intended to make Chicago
his future home. Bert sent the follow
ing telegram to Ewing:
Have made advantageous legal con-
nections- here in Chicago. Please pre-
sent, my resignation to league Letter
follows"
Judge McCreedie. manager OF the
Portland team, will act as president OF
the league for the remainder of the
year. Ewing notified McCreedie yester-
day of Bert's resignation. 1t is not
likely that a special meeting of the
baseball magnates will be called for the
purpose of electing a successor to Bert,
for this year at least.
Bert has done much for the success
of the league. Since its organization
he has obtained many concessions from
the Eastern baseball powers.

A number OF years ago General Benjamin

the street railway companies compelling
conductors to register fares as soon as pas
sengers entered the cars and before the
fares were actually collected. Two or three
years afterward he represented the plain
tiff in a damage suit for $4,000 in which
a Brooklyn street railway company was
the defendant. The principal witness for
the company was the conductor OF the car

testimony was so strong as to mako things

Italians send more money home than
any other class OF adopted Americans.
Last year they sent to their families and
friends in Italy and to the Italian savings
banks for deposit over 100000. which
was an increase In one year Of more than
100000. Even the Greeks, who are few
in number. sent home over 100000 last
year. AS the Christmas season approaches
the volume Of cheap travel 10 Europe al

that many foreigners visit their old home
