Today's card at Emeryville is OF very
ordinary caHber.
Bonheur and Gage Taylor look best
among the youngsters in the opener, a
four -furlong dash. Bonheur Is filly
with some pretention to class and may
repeat her victory of a few days ago.
Adena and Wilmore are most promis-
ing of the, outsiders.
Louise Fitzgibbon, a Schreiber filly
that performed fairly we'll at Ascot,
may be able to beat the cheap company
in which she will run in the second.
Gala looks like the contender. May
Pink has speed, but is inclined to stop.
Picking a probable winner out of
the bad bunch in the third is extremely
hazardous. Daniel c., Cheripe and Vim
centio have run in the money. occasion
ally and one of them may win
Duke of Orleans is In fine fettle and
may be able to repeat in the fourth.
Begun probably viii be right there
at the end. Peerless Lass is danger
Gus. Little Minister quit in his last
race after showing plenty of speed
in good company. Blanche c has a
chance.
If Andrew Mack runs back to his
good race of Tuesday he will win the
fifth from The Borgian. He seems to
be in good shape, but has a reputation
for unreliability. The Borgian's last
race was a good one.
The final race at seven furlongs will
be the best OF the card, having at
tracted half-dozen classy mares.
Ethel Day has been running well and
will be likely to make a close finish
of it with Princess Titania. Grace G
is in light and must oe given a chance.
The distance probably will be too far
for Cloudlight and Laura F NJ. Edith
James seems to be up against 1t.

BRITT -CORbETT MATCH
IS CL|NCHED FOR RENO
Fighters Sign for a Battle
to a Finish for a
$4,000 Purse

The representatives of boxers James
Britt and Young COrbett met at the
Willis saloon last night. and accepted
the terms of Charles Kohl of the Reno
Club for finish fight between the
lightweights for a purse of $4,000.
Corbett was represented by Harry
Pollok. Britt was present at the meet
ing, but his brother, William, attended
to his interests.
While Kohl did not announce that he
would guarantee the fighters a purse
when he was here a few days ago, the
representatives of the, boxers asserted
that he had made the offer, but that
they held out for a bigger purse Sam
my McClintic, who represents Dick Hy-
land saw chance for his man with
Corbett and his appearance on the
scene caused the Britts to accept Kohrs $
terms.
though Kohrs intentions were to have
1t take place on March .25, probably in
the afternoon. Britt said last night
that he would ask for a postponement
of the date until early in April, but If
Kohl Insisted on March 20 he would
give way.
According to the agreement reached
between the managers of the fighters,
they will meet at 133 pounds. They are
to weigh in six hours before the time
of battle. The winner is to receive 40
per cent of the purse
Pollok said he would insist upon an
Eastern referee.
The clnching of the Britt-Corbett
match for Reno ends the conjectures
as to whether or not the Cans Britt
fight would be brought off in Tonopah.
The latter is now effectually side
tracked.

Of RYAN AND MELODY
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-Harry Foley,
who looks after the interests OF Joe
Thomas, the California fighter, posted
a check for $500 today which he offers
to bet that Thomas can defeat either
Honey Melody or Tommy Ryan at any
weight they may name.
This old talk about Thomas not
being able to do the welter-weight
limit is laughable" said Foley. Here
is the money, to go either as a forfeit
or as a side bet. If either Ryan or
Melody wants to make it $1,000, let 1t
60 at that; 1 will post the other $500.
The sooner articles are signed the bet
ter it will be for u.s..
Jack Curley, Tommy Ryan's repre-
sentative, whengasked today If Ryan
would take on Joe Thomas, said:
Ryan will fight Joe Thomas or any
one else. If the club gives a suitable
purse. He will let Thomas make any
weight he desires, just to show him we
can make as low weight as he can.
Ryan will fight him at 154 pounds ring
side If he wants, and will even go
lower and make $50 pounds. RYAN
will meet any one weighing from 142
pounds to 15S pounds If a suitable
purse be offered"

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

LOS ANGELES. Feb. 2o.-If all the
cards at Ascot Park were as poor as
the one there today there would not
be sufficient interest in the game to
justify the running of more than one
streetcar TO the track. The course was
fast, but the weather was threatening.
and a cold wind made it anything but
comfortable in the grand stand. Up
sets were frequent and form played
little part in the afternoons pro-
gramme.
1t is. reasonably certain that the
present race meeting at Ascot will be
continued at least until April and
possibly a week longer. Ofhcial an
nouncenient of this plan has not been
made, but horsemen have been given
to understand what they can expect.
and a number of them who had in
tended shipping their strings away will
remain until the meeting closes.
