Battle Of jockeys on
Saratoga Course
Shilling Rides Four Winners
and Dugan Is Suspended and
Fined for Rough Tactics
SPECIAL D1spArcH TO THE CALL


SARATOGA, Aug. 6.-Harry Payne
Whltney's year old filly Stamina, the
best of her age, finished first in the
race for the Alabama stake at the Sara
toga track this afternoon, but the
stewards disqualified her. She fouled
John Sanford's illy Mayfleld and the
stake was awarded to the latter.
Anonyma was placed second and
Beckon third.
The race was more of a fight be-
tween jockeys than a contest between
horSes. AT nearly every stage of the
mile and a furlong there was crowd
the stretch, when Beckon, Mayfieid and
Stamina were racing abreast, McCahey
on Beckon deliberately crowded his op-
ponents out. Mayfield was in the mid
die and was badly !. jammed and
squeezed, as Dugan tried to keep Stam-
ina from being carried to the outer
rail.
When Strengthened out for the run
home Mayfield and Stamina drew away
from Beckon. As they passed the last
furIong pole Dugan raised his whip
and pushed Mayfield to the inner rail
Then Dugan Strengthened the filly out
and. under vigorous riding, she drew
away and finished first by nearly two
lengths.
The stewards announced that they
had suspended Jockey Dugan for the
him 500 for rough riding. Summary:

Hurting and Football
at Ingleside Track

hurting match and a game of Gae-
lie football are on the cards for Sunday
afternoon at the Ingleside racetrack,
and lively sport is looked for The
program has been arranged under the
direction of the leading Irish-American
athletic authorities in this city and will
be held under strict amateur rules. As
both the Irish pastimes have gained
great favor here within recent months,
it is expected that a big crowd will be
on hand to cheer for their favorite
teams.
The hurting match will be between
the Young Irelands, captained by
Thomas Quinn, and the o,connells, led
by William Quinn. Both teams are
made up of the best hurlers In this
city and the boys promise to entertain
the spectators with a lively mixup.
In the football match the well known
Parnells, of which Ed Allen is captain,
will meet the newly organized Erin
Hopes. headed by ]. Clifford. Some
fast players, recently arrived from the
emerald isle, are included on the
lineup of the latter team. The Par
neils have long ranked as one of the
best Gaelic football teams in the United
States.

BATTLER is CONFIDENT

Though he is far away from the scene of
his latest triumph, Battling Nelson still has
San Francisco very much in mind. Last night
his old training mate. Jack Grace, received a
long letter from the champion from Chicago, in
which he said that he intended doing some box
ing with Tommy Ryan in exhibitions and then
going to New Mexico for a little hunting trip.
Bat added that he would arrive here about Au-
gust IL TO get ready for his third meeting with
Cans at the Mission street Admission
day.
In hrs letter to his old pal Nelson says he
is feeling great and doing just enough work to
keep right He advises Grace to see all his
friends in this city and induce them to get a
bet down on him to knock out Cans in 10
rounds The Battler seems very anxious about
his Livermore ranch and requested Grace to
take look at it and write him Immediately
how the place looms. Grace will be on the job
today.
Benny Selig, Joe Cans manager. will pay an
other visit to the once great old master in Lake
county today. Accompanied by Percy Dana,
Selig will start this morning and, after spend
ing Saturday and Sunday with Joe, will return
with full report of how he looks. Over the
phone yesterday Cans told Selig that he is still
doing the near TO nature stunt in the mountains
and feeling better than In years. He likes the
country very much and wants to remain there
long he can.

Ketchel Figures 10 to )
Over Joe Thomas
Battling Nelson Writes That He
Will Finish Cans i'm Ten
Rounds

With the fourth meeting between
Stanley Ketchel and Joe Thomas only
II days away, interest in the event
quickens apace. The recent sensational
performances of the middle weight
champion have made him card of
the same character that Joe Cans was
before Nelson put the rollers under
him, and for this reason it is expected
that his mill with Thomas will draw
out good sized house, notwithstand-
ing the fact that Ketchel has already
defeated the San Francisco boy twice.
Thomas one CLEAN of hope lies in
his ability to have already stayed 80
rounds and then 20 rounds with the
Michigan giant Though he figured to
their last bout had passed, Joe stuck
gamely to his post and not only went
the whole route but made great
Garrison finish in the last three periods.
Thomas thinks that he will have a
better chance to land against Ketchel
now that they are fighting at catch
weights. All along he complained that
the making of weight hurt him ma
terialIy in his last two encounters with
the champion. He may be better at
catch weights, but the same can be
said for Ketchel, so from this stand
point Thomas chances are not so
bright.
1t is very likely that the betting will
again be about 10 TO 3 in favor of the
champion. The price does not figure
to be any higher and even at these
will be only a small amount of Thomas
money in sight. There may be some
lively wagering on rounds, for many
of Thomas friends are confident that
he will be able to go 20.
No referee has been selected as yet.
The men are TO meet within the next
three days and name the official. AT
the present time it is hard to say who
will act. Ketchel is perfectly satisfied
with Jack Welsh. while in the past any
of them went for Thomas. Manager
Jack Gleason, who is handling the
fight. believes that he will have no
trouble on this score.

The schoolboys of Washington
are looking forward to the Easter
week tournament which will be the
first held in this city where school
boys will shoot with military rifles
The movement for schoolboy practice
is spreading rapidly throughout the
country, having been greatly stimu-
lated by the success which it has met
in New York City where it is con
Quoted under the auspices Of the
Public Schools Athletic League
Washington has no such influential
or wealthy organization but the Ma
tional Capitol Rifle and Revolver
Club, which is an organization com
posed OF civilian and military men in
about equal numbers, undertook the
task and all indications point to a
most successful tournament. The
schoolboys fell in line and for some
weeks the officers of the High School
Cadets. which is a crack corps, have
been receiving instruction and inn
parting it to their companies. During
Easter week there will be individual
matches for the Junior Marksman's
medal given by the National Rifle
Association, company, battalion and
school team matches, ending with
special matches for the officers, The
War Department and especially the
National Board for the Promotion
of Rifle practice, is heartily seconding
the movement. Gen. VIM. P. Hall
and Capt. +. n. Slayden, Of the Board
will be in attendance and Gen. Oliver
president Of the Board and Assistant
Secretary of War will present the
medals and prizes. The National
Rifle Association will be represented
by 1t. Albert S. Jones, its secretary,
who did so much toward making the
New York tournament a success,
Capt. Sheridan Ferree, of this city,
the well-known expert pistol shot,

ecutive officer, assisted by Col T.
J. Dimmick who is known to all lead
ing riflemen. In addition to provid-
ing the marksmen, the cadets will also
furnish officers for range officers,
scorers, markers, etc, and will thus
obtain not only instruction in shoot
ing but in the actual conduct of real
rifle matches Each Of the
companies and several
of the arms companies will have their
experts in attendance and the tourna-

matches will last the entire week.
