Unusual Stake Offerings to Be Made
for Next Winter to Attract Best
Class of Horsemen, Horses
and jockeys to Coast
BY JAY DAVIDSON

It is evident from the preseason ar
engagements being made by President
Tom Williams for the next winter rae
ing season at Emeryville that the
prospects of interference with the
sport in California in the immediate
future do not worry him to any ex-
tent. Williams is the one man on the
coast to whom the lions share of
credit belongs for building the sport
up to its present high level and prom
inence. which has resulted in making
California the greatest winter racing
scene in the world and which will
be the means of attracting to the two
coast tracks next winter the leading
owners, trainers, jockeys and breeders
and the greatest jockeys now in the
saddle.
Williams has taken the initiative
again in making a campaign to get the
great horsemen and horses to race in
California next winter by increasing
the added money values of all stakes
to be run at Emeryville and in raising
the general tone of the sport to the
highest plane it ever occupied in the
west. No stake even at Emeryville
next season will carry less than $4,000
value, while the Burns will have a
gross value of about $4,000, remaining
the GREATEST winter stake event at
any track.
Following are the announced stakes
for the next Emeryville season, with
the added money values decided upon
by Williams:

ANGELS RETURN
HOME TUESDAY
Portland Seems to Have Dropped Out
of Race for Bunting and Seals
Now Are in the Contend
Ing Position

After the double header with Oak
land this Afternoon the Angels will pack
their duds and slip away from the
north for home, to begin three weeks
series of games Tuesday afternoon at
the Chutes. Hen Berry will come
along with the team. in all probability,
and then the fans will get some much
desired information regarding the
plans of the local magnate for the Ven
ice team next season.
The team has done exceedingly we'll
on this trip north and will come back
home in first place, probably away out
in front. Portland has been on the
toboggan ever since it took such an
awful fall out of the Angels last time
the two teams played in Los Angeles.
Going north in front, the Beavers have
dropped steadily until now they are in
third place, and still dropping. San
Francisco has been showing steady i'm
provement all the while, and now is
the runner-up in the pennant chase.
1t begins to look as If the pennant
chase is destined to be narrowed down
to the two leading California clubs,
the Angels and Seals, and that the
locals will win out is not to be doubted.
Portland showed such great form
early in the season that the fans seri-
ously picked that team to beat out the
Angels, and after the Beavers walloped
the Dillonites so thoroughly in their
last two or three series this belief
seemed to be justified With Portland
practically out of the running, how
ever, the Seals loom up as the team to
beat.
Although the Angels slowed down at
an alarming rate month ago, and
dropped from first to second place, with
the team making an average of three
or four errors every day and hitting
like a bunch of bush" leaguers, it is
gratifying to note that the boys have
recovered their form and once more
are travelling at a championship gait
They have mastered the problem OF
team work, are smuggling the ball like
fends and fielding like major leaguers
The twirling staff Is doing all that
could be expected in reason, and, alto
gether, the team is playing consistent
and winning ball. That this improve
ment is appreciated at home will be
proved, no doubt, in the attendance
thar will greet the team in all it's games
at the Chutes.
After playing three series at home
the team will go north again for few
weeks, this being the final northern
trim this season. Then 1T will return
home for a five weeks stand, ending
the season The next northern trip
will begin August "a and will end with
the double header September q at San
Francisco. The season ends Noyem-

In addition to these rich stakes it
will be the policy of the management,
it is said, to give liberal overnight
handicaps, with from $1,000 to $1,000
added money.
Nominations to these stake events
will be received after September /,
the exact date not having been set as
yet, and probably will be received up
to November 1. Racing begins No
vember and probably will continue
six months, the northern season always
running until well along in May. 1t Is
expected that next season will be the
greatest in the history of coast racing.
In view of the liberality of the
Emeryville management in increasing
it's stakes, it is expected that the Los
Angeles Racing association Will do
likewise and that the California handl-
cap Norfolk stakes and the Derby
will be materially increased in gross
value, while it is probable that all
stake events will have not less than
$4,000 gross value, with a probability
that all will carry not less than $4,000
added money.
Nothing definite will be known re-
garding the plans of the Santa Anita
directors until they hold their annual
meeting in October. At this meeting II
is expected that they will increase the
stakes in value if not in number, will
select the new official family for the
Santa Anita season and decide upon
an earlier date than formerly for open
ing. 1t Is believed that the Santa
Anita season will open at the same time
the Emeryville season begins, although
IL hardly will be extended to more than
five months, opening in November and
closing April i.

KANGAROOs MAKE coon RECORD
Junior Basket BaII Team of Y. NJ.
c. a. Does Fine work.


G. a. Does Fine Work.
The Omaha Kangaroos. the junior bows
basket ball team OF the Young Mems Chris
tian association. closed a very successful
season last week. At the beginning Of the
basket BAH season the boys who played on
the team the year before got together. but
they did not have a coach, so they Sc
cured the services OF A. w. Miller, who
very willingly took up the task Of coach
ing them. Too much praise cannot be
given to Mr. Miller. as he has not only de-
veloped good team for the Young MEMS
Christian association, but has also aided to
a great extent the high school team, four
OF whose players are the prominent stars
OF the Kangaroos. Mr. Miller has promised
his services to the Kangaroos next year
II prevailing conditions will allow IT, This
practically assures at least one good basket
ball team to represent the senior depart
ment Of the Young Mems Christian assocl-
alton.
The kangaroos deserve a great deal of
credit for the way they have upheld the
spirit and reputation of the Young Mems
Christian association. In no city in which
they have played during the last season
nave they received anything but praise for
the way they conducted themselves, both
on the basket ball field and while in town.
They have made friends in every city
they have been. In some instances the
people have come personally and praised
the gentlemanly and sportsmanlike spirit
OF the boys. Especially has this been true
In games which the Kangaroos have lost
by close scores and where there would be
very good chance to wrangle about some
decision OF the referee
The Kangaroos have played fourteen
games. and lost five and won nine. Four
OF the games lost were played on their
opponents floors, and one in the local
gymnasium OF the Young Mems Christian
association The Kangaroos have scored
5H points to their opponents S61, or 1s,
points more. than their opponents. They
lost three games by four points, one game
by one point and one by thirteen points
Following is the individual record of the
players;
Burdick, gfl,1 right forward and captain fifty
one field goals and twelve foul goals
Dodds, left forward, twenty-five field
goals goals and one foul goal, or a total Of
Carl NagI, left forward and right guard
thirty field goals, or sixty points
Doud, left guard five field goals, or ten
Merl Howard. three field goals and one
awarded point, or seven points.
Harold Pagols, left guard, four field
goals. or eight points
George Parish, right guard, two field
goals, or four points
Herb Arnstein, center, ninety-one field
goals and seventy-eight foul goals. or 80
This has been the best season the juniors
team has had since its organization three
years ago. The Kansaroos hope to make
a better record for themselves next season
and give the lovers OF basket ball some of
the very fastest games to be seen on the
local floor.

CAMBRIDGE WINS FROM OXFORD
For Third Year in Succession Light
Blues Take Boat Race,

Blues Take Boat Race.
PuTNEY, England, April 4.-For the third
year in succession Cambridge today won the
varsity boat race, defeating oxford by the
handsome margin of about two and half
lengths. The light blues-the Cambridge
crew-fully justified the confidence reposed
in them by the riverside experts, and forged
to the front from the crack of the pistol
and led from start to finish.
The result never was in doubt In spite
Of the advantage Of the dark blues-the OK
ford men--in winning the toss, which en-
abled them TO choose the Surrey side of the
river and thus escape much of the heavy
water at the start the extra stamina of the
Cambride men quickly sent the nose of
their boat ahead and enabled them TO as
sumo lead which they held comfortably
to the end
The crews got off to a splendid start, but
the quicker stroke of ID. C.. r. Stuart of
the Cambridge crew. who set the rate at 40
for the first minutes, against Oxford's So.
soon put the supporters OF the light blues
at ease. At Beverley Brook Cambridge had
already gained an advantage OF half a.
length and at Craven Steps the light blues
we're full length in front of, and steadily
drawing away from, their opponents.
The uniform sliding and the greater
length of the stroke Of the light blues con-
tinued to tell, and in shooting under Ham
mersmith bridge there was full length
and half between the boats. At this point
Stuart gave his crew a breather, and A. c.
Gladstone, the oxford stroke, called on his
men for an effort. Quickening his stroke
to SS to the minute, as against Cambridges
81, Gladstone slowly lessened the gap to a
length and quarter. But this advantage
was only on sufference. When Stuart was
ready he set his men going again and the
Cambridge crew quickly shook off their op-
ponents. Pulling strongly steadily and we'll
within themselves, the light blues shot past
Thorneyoroft's three lengths ahead. and
held about the same lead to Barnes bridge.
After passing this point they rowed with
out apparent effort and passed the finish
post the easiest of victors by distance
given out officially as two and a half
lengths.
The oxford men, who had gamely rowed
losing race, were much distressed at the
finish.
The official times are as follows; At the
