value have been decided upon and
will not be changed. The Wood
lands stakes will remain the same as
the stake by that name that was
feature of two-year-old racing at
Ascot, as will the Rose Selling stakes.
In making the Los Angeles Derby
conditions, it was decided to give 1t
guaranteed value of $4,000, as 1t
was deemed advisable to put it in the
same class with the California Derby,
although the latter stake will have
an added instead of guaranteed
value of $4,000, which will make it
worth slightly more than the Los
Angeles Derby.
For the richest stake event of the
season. the Santa Anita Handicap has
been chosen and guaranteed value
of $500 is named. The Ascot Han
dicap was the richest stake event at
the local track, but had only $4,000
added money. The Burns Handicap
the richest stake OF, the Emeryville
season, has a guaranteed value of
$4,000, and the Santa Anita Handi-
cap will rank second only to that
classic 1t probably will be at one
and quarter miles.
Emperor of Norfolk, the greatest of
all the Baldwin horses, will have a
monument to his memory in the four
mile stake, the Norfolk stakes. which
will have an added value of $4,000,
and will class with the Thornton
handicap at Enferyville, which was
the only four-mile stake event in
America until the Norfolk stake was
established.
The Rose Selling stakes was the
New Year offering at Ascot and was
worth about $4,000 to the winner II
will be continued at Santa Anti
Park, and George Rose, after whom il
was named, will contribute the major
portion of the added money.
Barney Schrieber will perpetuatt
the fame of his Missouri stud in the
| Woodlands stakes, for two-year-olds
and will contribute the major portion
of the added money value Of tina

Gotham to Have One of the Largest
in Country.
NEW YORK. Oct. 5.-One of the
largest and wealthiest athletic clubs
in the whole country is to be estab-
lished in New York this winter. An
organization the equal almost of the
New York Athletic club, with SPLEEN
did club house and rich member
ship, is now being organized The
chief promoter is one of the best
known sporting men who has lived
in New York for many years. He is
aided and backed by some we'll
known brokers, merchants and other
business men of sportive tendencies.
Although the club will have ath-
letic exhibitions of all kinds, it will
pay considerable attention to boxing.
Formed on basis which will give it
the right under the law to hold box
ing bouts, it will have SO much mon
ey on hand that purses large enough
to attract the champions will be
given.
A building in suitable part Of
the city has been obtained at a cost
of $4,000. The building is now
used for other purposes, but with the
expenditure of few thousand dol
lars will have all the appurtenance'
of real athletic club. There will b.
first class gymnasium, baths and al
the other essentials that go to MAKE
legitimate organization which will
come within the law in all particu
| lars. The organization will be mucl
like the National Sporting club o
London.

Every year that Laioie was in the

Their Tips Are Now the Thing About
the Race Tracks.

Their TIPS Are NOW Jne IHIHS fADOut
the Race Tracks.
1t has been in the last few years
that .'clockers, the men that one
sees sitting on the rails in different
parts of race track, who time every
horse that appears on the course for
workouts, have become SO promin-
ent in racing circles. 1t is quite the
proper caper now for each layer to
have his own particular "clocker
Many of the big bettors are similarly
supplied, so it is hard matter for
horse to receive a Workout and get
away with it without 100 or 200
checkers noting it. The checkers tips
are now quite the thing around race
tracks. What are the checkers play
ing? is frequent expression heard
in the ring. 1t is often the case that
the checkers money will force horse
into favoritism, so much respect have
the layers for the timetakers judg-
ment. Most of these checkers re-
ceive $40 day, but a great many of
them get SIS a day. 1t is an inter-
esting sight before betting begins to
see the layers sitting in the grand
stand, each with his clocker, receiv-
ing reports of trials, what horses
carded to race that day have done In
the early morning hours.
In former years, after the days
racing was over, the stable jockeys
generally returned to the barn, help
ed to feed the horses and do a few
stunts in the way of cleaning up. Al
candle light most of them had retired
to their cots, located in a box stall
Things are different now. No stables
for the leading drivers nowadays
It's the big hotels and all that goe
with it for them. They are also be
coming so fashionable that most o
them have their own turnouts. Miller
as rule, drives to the track in
basket phaeton behind a roam pony
Nicol has runabout and very fas
trotter. But it is to little Eddie Du
gan, the Oakland boy, that the pain
must be given. He has just bough
big red automobile, which he use
in going to and from the track. AS
rule. in the evening he takes all Q
his fellow riders who are not forttn
ate in owning their own rigs, to thei
barns in Sheepshead Bay, where a

The home of Congressman
Bartlett, on the slope of Mt

stone, which is a product OF
To.lopah, and finished in
shingles, making a most pic
turesque structure. Judge
O'Brien's home on Brougher

product of Tonopah, and is
finished in most artistic
style. Both structures be-

nAlA PLAYERS SUPERSTITION.

Fred Glade, the crack pitcher of
the St. Louis Browns, has no conf
dence in himself on dark days.
Glade's main forte is speed and on
dark days he ought to star, but he
claims during his career in profess
sional ranks he has only won a single
game when rain threatened. Glade
also has another habit of tossing one
ball to the first baseman in between
innings. Tom Jones is the authority
for the statement that Glade has
never failed to do this since he join
ed the team.
Sam Crawford, when a barber in
the wilds OF Kansas. always honed
his razors, his pet being Sal. Sam
has carried his hobby into baseball
and every one of his half dozen
trusty bats bear some affectionate
name
King Larry never faces the pitcher
,nless he has first made line with
his bat to guide his position at the
late. Larry generally approaches
he plate from the rear of the UNI
nirc.s
Kay. the new outflelder recently
secured by Washington, has. habit
! of superstition that is just about the
| limit. He kisses the bat in a rather
indirect manner. He first places his
right band to his lips and then sort
of caresses the bat with the righl
hand. He will often do it hal
dozen times while at the plate.
Ty Cobb is superstitious about ths
broom the umpire uses to dust of
the plate. The umpires general.
/ throw the broom to the left of tn,
plate after using it. while Cobb al
ways prefers it to the right. Whel
/ he first entered the league he Away
rsed to transfer the buster when HI
came to the plate. The umpire didn'
take to Cobb's style and have sine
broken him of his pet superstition

MURPHY AND CANS.
Coffroth Trying to Arrange Go be-

COffrOth Trying to Arrange Go he
tween Two Fighters. :
NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-There is a
chance that Tommy Murphy will be
matched against Joe Cans for the
lightweight championship of the
world. Jim Coffroth, the San Fran
cisco promoter. wants Murphy to
fight Cans and will make him an
offer. Coffroth saw him fight here
a couple of years ago and has been
watching his career ever since. He
considers him a conner
Murphy has improved marvelously
during the past, year or SO. Frank
Erne. it is said. left Murphy's train
ing quarters because Murphy had i'm
proved so much that he could easily
whip his boxing master. And al
though Erne took pride in his pupil
it ruffied his feathers to THINK the
youngster had passed him.
Murphy has everything champion
needs. He is strong. game, fast as 9
streak, and an extremely clever boxer
at any range with a dangerous blow
in either hand. He is one of th'
