Manager Mike Riley of the Casino
Athletic Club of Tonopah has heard
the mutterings from this city regard
val in March, and he is quick to re-
spond to the claim that there is a
chance that the fights will not take
place. He has wired to interested per-
sons in this city that the entire purse
will be posted whenever the principals
deem it advisable and that the money
is at their call at any time.
Representatives of Britt and Cans
do not see the necessity of posting
their $4,000 forfeits nearly two months
before the date set for the contest.
They feel that if the money were up in
responsible hands thirty days before
the fight 1t would serve all purposes.
Manager Riley insists that he does not
need outside backing, and that when
the time comes he will put up all the
money required by the articles agreed
to by himself and the two fighters.
Manager Jim Coffroth is expected
home today from Byron Springs, where
he has spent some days with Britt, go
ing over the details Of the training
work which the Californian will do
here and in Nevada. 1t was believed
for a time that Britt would return to
his quarters at Billy Shannon's for
some preliminary work, but from pres
ent appearances he will remain at the
springs with Tiv Kreling until it is
time to go to Nevada for the serious
training work which he will have to do
for the fight. He will spend an unusual
time at the mining camp, as he wishes
to become accustomed to the high al
titude.
Cans is boxing every night in the
theaters in the East, so he will have
lot of work in him when he comes
West to put the finishing touches upon
his conditioning for the fight. He pro-
fesses to believe he will not have a
hard battle, but from the plans he has
made it is evident that he will leave
nothing undone that would land him
in the ring in the best of condition.
Joe Thomas, probably the most pop
ular boxer in California at the present
time, will leave for the East today in
search Of matches. All the promoters
here have tried to find an opponent
for him, but without avail. Joe will
have to try six-round fights in and
around Philadelphia in order to keep
in practice. He seems to be at an un-
fortunate weight at the present time.
Boxers lighter than he and those
heavier are in demand, but there is
no man near his weight who is a good
drawing card and who will agree to
meet him. He has been asked to give
away nearly twenty pounds to Hugo
The San Francisco call., 1907-01-28

For a Monday todays card at En-
eryville is above the average. The
sport will open with a three and a half
furlong dash for two-year- -olds. Ra-
contour and Rhinestone figure close,
but the former appears to be a young
ster of some class and is more likely
to be returned the winner. Irish Mike
is on the improve and may be a con-
tender. Rhinestone should not be
worse than third with good ride. Sew
eral that are starting for the first time
have shown nothing to warrant the be-
lief that they might win today.
Of the bad lot in the second, George
P McNear may win If he runs back
TO his last race, when, from a bad be-
ginning, he finished second in a similar
field Joe Goss appears to have the
next best chance. There is little choice
to the balance.
Begun runs as if he would go the
route and is likely to win the third,
with Peligroso as the probable con
tender. show horse is not easy to
pick, but Joyful, Lugano and BERTHE A
appear most promising.
Lazell should win the fourth, at one
and an eighth miles. Orchan looms as
the contender Watercure probably
will not like the going. Ray will like
the distance and will close stoutly. In
flammable and Isabelita are the out
SlderS that appear 10 nave chance.
The fifth may be tight fit between
Monte Lucille. Van Ness and Romaine
Racing luck is likely to determine the
result If it comes down to drive in
the stretch Monte Lucille should out
game Van Ness. Romaine will run a
better race than on Saturday, when
he was out for the first time after a
long letup.
Delagoa may win the final event Of
the day If she runs one of her good
races. Hedgethorn is in rare form just
now and will make things interesting
Miss Ohcious is rounding into condi-
tion and would be hard to beat with a
good boy up. The Borgian has early
speed, but has been stopping. Silver
Sue has not been out in long time
and probably will need the race.

GIFT BY TRUSTEES
TO STANFORD
ATHLETES

From an unloolSed-for source de-
cided impetus has been given to ath-
letics at Stanford University. The board
OF trustees at a recent meeting set
aside $4,000 for the improvement of the
athletic equipment of the campus. The
gift came as a surprise to the under
graduates, who believed a petition for
assistance filed some time ago had been
ignored. The benevolence of the trust
ees is largely due to the efforts of DR..
rank Angel, chairman of the faculty
athletic committee, and Dudley d. Sales,
the graduate manager.
The $4,000 gift will make possible
many contemplated improvements in
the athletic equipment of the campus.
Combined with the gate receipts from
the last football game, the generous
sum will permit OF changes in the foot
ball field without forcing the under
graduates to go into debt. Several new
fields also will be built.
The most important work will be
the remodeling of the football stadium.
Now that it is definitely understood that
Rugby will be played, operations will
be rushed to have the field in readiness
long before it is actually needed. The
width of the field is to be increased
until 1t conforms to the standard re-
ouired in the British game. 1t Is estt-
mated that to move back the bleacherS
ana repair the seats will cost $4,000.
Adjoining the new cinder-path and
in the netghborhood OF the football
stadium two baseball diamonds will be
constructed. The ground is level and
the chief item of expense will be the
removal OF trees from the site.

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 27.-The ac-
curaey of the semiohcial returns of
the first degree elections by peasants
and small landowners, which indicate
that more than 20 per cent of the dele
gates chosen are Conservative and non
oppositional Moderates, is challenged
by the opposition leaders These, TAX
ing their own advices as the basis for
argument, assert that the election SER
vice furnished by the official bureau
was colored to influence the succeeding
elections and that large proportion
Of the so-called Moderates belong to
the Constitutional Democrats and other
Left parties.
Reports of opposition victories, they
say, are either shown only slightly or
suppressed altogether, and they claim
that the next stage Of the elections
will prove that a majority of the dele
gates are again oppositional.

$4,000 Coney Island Jockey Club
Stakes for three-year-olds at one and
a half miles. This is to be run at the
June meeting at Sheepshead Bay virtu-
ally as substitute for the American
Derby.
Starter Richard Dwyer returned last
night from Los Angeles and will be
certain TO receive a hearty greeting
when he puts in an appearance at, the
barrier at Emeryville this afternoon.
John J. McCafferty. who was ruled off
the turf along with Boots" Durnell by
the Pacific Jockey Club last winter. is
making renewed efforts TO obtain re-
instatement. McCafferty, who is spend
ing the winter in New York, has just
mailed to President Thomas H. Will
liams of the Pacific Jockey Club a
lengthy statement of his case.
The stallion Spring has been donated
to the New York Jockey Clubs breed
ing bureau.
Cricket Kelly has been indefinitely
suspended by the Ascot Park officials
for having left the service of Lucky
Baldwin, his contract employer.

The trainers at sheepshead Bay and
Gravesend believe to man that Jack
McGinnis' Buttling, probably as good
a horse, after Africander, as Star Ruby
has sent to the races, will train again
the coming season. He bowed a ten

apparently is sound again after a long
rest, during which he was gelded.

Kelly. but this is not to be expected
of him, especially when his proposed
opponent is willing to take on the
men of the heavyweight division.
Thomas will be given a chance here
upon the first opportunity if the game
be allowed to continue. Manager Harry
Foley who will accompany Thomas
East. will keep after the best men in
his proteges class until he forces some
one into the ring with him in an i'm
portant bout. Some of the Nevada
promoters have their eye on Thomas
and it is possible they will find an
opportunity to put him on for a sub
stantial purse within the next few
months. In the meantime the Cali
fornian will get some useful practice
in the limited round fights, which are
the vogue in the East. He has done
all that has been asked of him up to
the present time and his friends be-
lieve he can account for any man Of
his weight now in the ring.
Manager wiIlus Britt has completed
his card for the four-round fights he
will bring off next Friday night in
Dreamland Pavilion. The principal
bout will be between Dick Sullivan,
who made quite a record in the
Hawaiian Islands, and Frank Mayfeld.
Kid McFadden will try his hand at
the IOunG-EOunQ DclnS plLNCQ
against Phil Knight. Willie Johnson
of Oakland will meet Jack Brown. The
balance of the card is made up of the
following bouts: Eddie Madison vs..
Ruddy Movre; Tommy Mccarthy VS.. Ed
Hardes; Jerry Fairbanks VS.. al Schrein
1t is expegted that Billy Roche will
referee all of the fights.
"Cyclone' Thompson is eating am
bilious Although he has matches on
hand with Rufe Turner and Dick Hy-
land, he wants one with Britt. Man
ager Kelly says his man will agree
that the winner shall take all and that
he will guarantee that Thompson can
stop Britt within twenty rounds.
If either Bill Squires. the Austria
liam. or Gunner Moir, the English box
re. comes to this country in search of
a match Al Kaufman will be available
as a trial horse. Billy Delaney's big
protege is anxious for match and
Levy has him on his long list OF ELI
gibles. While Kaufman's last appear
ance in the ring with George Gardner
at Los Angeles was a disappointment
to his admirers, his trainer has not lost
faith in him and thinks that with the
rest he Is enjoying at present he will
come out fresh for his next engage
ment and will show that he is entitled
to consideration as one of the coming
men in the heavyweight division.

FIRE DEPARTMENT
AUTOMOBILES
SAVE MONEY
By r. r. I'Hor1r11edieu

Eastern cities are adapting the auto
mobile to their fire service. The de-
partment of Springfield, Mass, has a
chemical engine, and has lately ordered
another from the Knox Automobile
Company, besides two light four-cylin-
der cars for the chief and his first as
sistant.
w. s. Culberson of the Mobile Car
riage Company, the local agents for
the Knox and air-cooled cars. said yes
terday, in speaking of the automobiles
use by fire departments:
'aThey are learning that these cars
have more than paid for themselves.
The chemical engine has put out fires
which, had they not been reached so
quickly, would have gained great head
way. This chemical engine has more
than paid for itself in the property it
has saved. The lighter machine for
the chief will pay for itself in a couple
of wears, even IL 1T never has to leave
the engine house. At the present time,
where horses are used, the chief is ac-
companied by a driver, who looks
out for the rig after the fire is reached.
The horse must be blanketed and
watched. With the automobile it is
different. When the chief reaches the
fire his chauffeur merely pulls the spark

ary of one man.
I'm some of the cities in the East
they are discussing the advisability of
the chief and the first assistant chief
always riding together, the assistant
running the car. 1t is claimed for this
plan that the two always work better
together. In the daily rounds the
chief gives orders which his assistant
hears. and If the former be taken sick
or be required to absent himself from
his post. his plans are carried out just
as though he was present It makes
the working of the department run
more smoothly"
