The San Francisco call., 1907-02-15

In spite of the improved track con-
ditions at Emeryville the programmer
continues to provide cards that are far
from being what the racing public has
a right to expect when the track is
fast The card yesterday was bad
enough from a class standpoint, but
today's is infinitely worse. Programmes
of this sort may be all right from the
bookmakers' viewpoint, but patrons Of
the sport, who are paying their money
to see the racing, have just cause for
complaint.
Billy watkins, a Hildreth juvenile,
seems to be a fair sort and should win
the opener. Wuerzberger Keene
youngster, ran cleverly his last out
and looks to be the contender. Rhine
stone and Heather Scott won their last
outs and are both dangerous.
Black Sans second to Princess
Wheeler about month ago, when he
last raced, makes him best of the bad
lot IN the second. There seems to be
little choice between the balance.
Triumphant may beat the poor field
that he will run with in the third If
he does not meet with repetition of
the bad luck that attended his last
start Batidor is the likely contender.
Ara was heavily played few days
ago to beat the same company with
which he will run in the fourth race
today and met with all kinds of bad
racing luck He may do today. Water
cure had speed his last out and looks
to be the contender, with a good chance
of winning Black Prince has been
knocking at the door and is dangerous.
Chief whitman has the speed of the
mediocre field entered for the fifth, and
as he has been running consistently and
in improved form he may be the one
to earn brackets. Judge is also run
ming consistently since the bar plates
were taken off him and looks to be
the contender. Fred Bent might prove
troublesome, although his last race
was poor.
The Rowena Handicap at seven fur
longs, with which the programme will
be closed, is the redeeming feature Of
the card. Six performers of good class
will compete. Although the distance
is longer than he has been running of
late, Hector will probably win If he
gets as intelligent a ride as Graham
gave him when he came so near to
taking Firebalrs measure on Wednes-
day AS the horse has won at mile
when in good form, as he appears to
be Just now. the distance should not
bother him. Mary f has been running
very consistently and is sure to be a
keen contender. Martinmas is in good
shape and deserves some considera-
ton. vox Populi ran a good third to
DR. Leggo and Dusty Miller in fast
time few days ago.

Battling Nelson About to Return Here
HEGEWISCH BOXER
WILL BE FACTOR
IN GAME
By r. A. Sn1yth

Battling Nelson will be a factor In
the fight game in this country sooner
than was expected when he started for
Europe some weeks since. At that
time it was thought his engagements
in England would cover a long period.
The Battler was unfortunate. however.
in landing in London at a time when
the concert hall artists were in the
throes OF big fight with the owners
or the theaters- Nelson cast his lot a.
once with the workers, and as he was
a shining mark, the proprietors are
supposed to have made a hard fight
against him.
This is undoubtedly what caused him
to cut short his tour OF Europe. His
coming here at this time will make him
big factor in the hght game and will
stir up talk OF a match with either
Britt or Cans. Tex Rickard will prob
ably be the first promoter to talk busi-
ness with him. as be is anxious to have
Cans be one of the principals in fight
IN Ely, about the middle OF the year.
The information regarding Nelson's
plans were received here in the follow
ing dispatch;
NEW YORK, Feb. 14-word comes from
London to the effect that Billy Nolan and Bat
Ting Nelson have signifed Intention to leave
England within the next three weeks. In the
meantime Nolan has been endeavoring 20 make
sale OF the Nelson and Joe Cans fight pictures.
He is known Shave offered the aims to an
amusement concern for $500.
None OF the men in this city inter-
ested in the proposed fight at Tonopah
between Cans and Britt received any
word from Mike Riley yesterday. It
he has any intention of carrying out
his part of the contract it will be easy
for him to bring the match 70 life by
putting up his forfeits and then nam
ing the day on which he wants the
men to meet before his club. Jimmy
Britt was a visitor at the Olympic Club
last night. He has not abandoned his
training quarters yet. although he will
have but little use for them for soms
time II Riley fails to carry out his
contract.
The officials of the California Club
have several classy bouts carded for
their boxing exhibition tonight in
Dreamland pavilion. The six bouts are
all between the best boxers in their
respective classes. Willie Wolf and
Tom Barry should put up a whirlwind
battle Paul Martini has a large fol-
lowing and there is much speculation
as to what kind Of a showing he can
make against Charlie Reilly. Monts
Attell If in his old-time form, Is ex-
pected to prove too rugged for Jimmy
Carroll. The latter is so clever that
his friends think no one OF his weight
can rush him Off his feet.
The other bouts will be between Jim
Kane and frankie Edwards: Walter
Kirchner and VIII Davis. and Anton La
Grave and Mauro Herrera. Eddie Han
Ion has been selected as referee and
he has been instructed that there must
be a decision in each fight no draws

FRED ROSS THROWN
AND KILLED BY
INSTRUCTOR

The first fatality of the racing season
occurred at Emeryville yesterday morn
ing, when Fred Ross, a crack jockey
IN the early eighties, fell from the
horse Instructor and broke his neck
Ross, who in spite Of his sixty years,
retained his youthful agility to a won
derful degree, had been earning a live
lihood of late exercising horses for
various owners. He had frequently
galloped Instructor, an erratic animal
that requires strong handling, for H.
@. Couse. While working the horse
through the stretch yesterday the ami
NAL took fright at a cat crossing the
track in front of him and bolted to
the outside fence near the clubhouse.
When Ross attempted to pull him up
he lunged so fiercely that his rider was
pitched violently out of the saddle and
over the fence headlong to the club
house lawn. Death was practically in
Simultaneous, in the opinion of a physi-
clan who was hurriedly summoned.
Ross came to the coast from the
Middle West in his youth and was a
familiar figure in local racetracks. He
rode with signal success for the Win
ters and Boots stables, when those
establishments sheltered some of the
famous old campaigners of the early
days of the turf on the Pacific Coast

through his agent. Jack Burke, an
nounced today that he would back Nike
Schreck for $4,000 to fight Champion
Jim Jefrrtes. Burke has the money in
a local bank and JEFF or any one willing
to back the big fellow can get on in a
hurry. Corbett, after watching Schreck
work and working with him, decided
when he was in the city that the Gin
cinnati Dutchman is the best man In
the country, aside from the champion,
and the only one with a chance left to
lift the title from the boilermaker
Corbett figures that Jefries has been
out OF the ring so long that he cannot
hope to regain his old form. and stories
Of the champions careless mode Of liv-
ing have doubtless helped to influence
