Elm Ridge Park at Kansas City, in
which plant he is heavily interested. as

two months meeting have already been
officially announced. He probably will
race a string at both tracks. The re-
Gently enacted law prohibiting the
registry of bets by telephone or teIe-
graph in adjoining States will not go
into effect until June Is. and the pro-
moters Of the meeting propose to take
advantage of the opportunity to reopen
the racetracks. Governor Folk has
called a special session of the Legisla-

operative before April 10, the date for
the opening of racing at the Fair

Miller, however. has been absent from

LITTLE BOXER SURPRISES
SPECTATORS WITH SKILL
Willie O'Neill Outpoints
Danny Webster IN a
Whirlwind Bout
BY r. A. Sr11ytil

Willie O'Neill, an Australian feather
weight boxer, made a sensational de-
but last night in Dreamland Pavilion.
when he outpointed Danny Webster OF
Los Angeles, one of the best boys or
his weight on the coast. ONeiH has
the fast left hand peculiar to Austria
liam boxers and is finished artist In
all departments with the gloves. He is
the best Australian boxer seen here
since Griffo's time. He has good
footwork and in some sharp exchanges
he stood up and took his medicine like
game boy. There was continuous
rattle of applause from the first bell
to the end of the four rounds, when he
was declared the winner amid tremen-
dous applause.
At the end OF the third round he was
rushed through the ropes, but was not
injured. He outfought Webster through
out the last round and thus gained the
decision. O'Neill bids fair to become
the most popular of the .four-round
fighters The boys were matched at
once for return bout. ONeill claimed
lack of condition, while Webster was
a trifie stiff from a fight in Oakland
the previous night.
Joe Willis Of Vallejo defeated Bat
Ting Johnson for the second time. Both
are big heavyweights, but they did not
stop for an instant in all the four
rounds. Willis was fought to stand
still in the third round, but he found on
effective means of attack in the last
round and punished Johnson severely.
His best blow was right to the head.
which took much Of the steam out of
his burly opponent.
Captain of Police Gleason stopped the
fight between Frank Mayfield and
Teddy Wolff after the first round May
field landed right to the body as they
were breaking out of a clinch and put
Wolff to the floor. He was knocked
down twice again before the end IF
the round. Wolff wanted to continue,
but he was hysterical and in no con-
dition to fight.
Rough House" Mcdonald lived up
to his name In his bout with Jack Ryan
of Chicago. He converted the ring into
a veritable bear pit. Ryan fought the
Californian in rough fashion, but lost
the decision on points.
Tom Woods was given the decision
over Hughie Carr after fighting four
any boxing skill. but the lack Of this
was made up for by their aggressive
ness.
George Peterson knocked out George
Martin forty seconds after the boxers
put up their hands. Peterson was bus

suddenly landed a right upper cut.
Martin was lifted off the floor of the
ring and his head hit the thinly padded
floor with resounding whack. He

Yesterdays WINNERS
By j. r. Jeffery

Horses quoted at liberal odds in the
betting captured four of the six races
at Emeryville yesterday. While no big
Killings were achieved on any of them
they were all supported to an extent
suH1clent to take away from most of
the bookies whatever profit the bowl
Ing over Of the favorites might have
yielded them had not the winners been
backed so consistently by the sharp
shooters. Public choices accounted
Tor the two remaining races. The go
ing was deceptive, the track being
heavy rather than muddy, as might
nave been expected. Jockey Fischer
was In the limelight with two winning
mounts. The other races were won by
boys of little reputation as riders.
WOOL SANDALS BEATEN
Wool Sandals, generally regarded as
the best thing of the-day and held at a
practically prohibitive price In the
DOCKS In consequence, was beaten a
nose In the last race by the to 1 shot
Johnny Lyons, ridden by the appren-
tice boy Hayes. The winner came from
behind and made thrilling contest of
1t with the favorite from the paddock
to the wire. The pair measured stride
for stride in the final sixteenth and
Lyons proved just the least bit the
gamer, poking his nose in front in the
very last stride. Cheers set the pace
into the stretch but was raced into
submission by the favorite and landed
up in third place. ]. H. Sheehan
stopped to walk after showing a high
turn of speed.
There was so little form to the bad
lot of fourteen that made up the field
in the opening race that the talent ex-
perienced no little difficulty in decid-
ing upon the favorite. c. c. McCaffer-

distinction, but fell far short of merit

been played, being in the ruck all the
way. The winner turned up in Joe

probably as much on account of the
presence of the unknown rider, J. Dug
gan, in the saddle as for any other
reason. The boy got the horse away
well. however, and gave him a better
ride than had the better known boys
who have been riding him in the past.
Making his move in the stretch, he
