President Tom williams of the Pa
cific Jockey club will have one of the
most extensive and classy strings that
will be raced on the coast next winter.
Headed by Firestone and Big CHIEF,
both stake winners at New York, DOC
Rowell will have a string Of about forty
horses. Since the close of the Emery
Vile season, Williams has had twenty
two horses on pasture and these were
taken up and started into training a
few days ago. The boss man of coast
turf affairs will be in the running for
all the principal stakes of the two Win
ter meetings.
While the weakness of Billy Papke
seems to be diamonds, Stanley Ketchels
runs to automobiles. Papke paid $1,000
for diamond stud after his Labor day
fight with Ketchel and the latter yes
terday bought an automobile that Will
cost him $1,000. Manager Gallagher or
the American agency made the sale and
Ketchel is using one of the agency
stock cars for pleasure jaunts while
waiting for his own car to arrive.
Ketchel came into the city yesterday
afternoon and attended the matinee at
the Orpheum. The swelling has gone
out of his face and while his eyes are
discolored enough to make 1t necessary
for him to wear goggles, he does not
show the effects of the terrible facing
he took Monday afternoon. He will re-
main in Los Angeles for about two
weeks yet and probably will not fight
again until after the first of the year,
as he and his manager are of the opin-
ion that he has been doing too much
fighting in the last year and should
take a rest before starting back up the
ladder.
Battling Nelson had not left the ring
yesterday after beating up the negro
from whom he won the world CHAM
pionship when he drew the color line
and put up the bars in another division
against the black scrappers. He is re-
ported as saying that he never again
will fight q negro With Papke in the
middle, Nelson in the light, Attell in
the feather and Coulon In the bantam
drawing the color line and Burns prac-
tically doing so In the heavyweight dlVl-
sion by his prohibitive price Tor &, a
match, the outlook for the negro In
pugilism in the future seems to be
rather dark (without punning).
