will have to stack up against their own
color as he will not match any color
schemes before his club. II will be up
to Willus to jump into the managerial
lob right off the bat, at a fat salary,
while Jimmy can do the refereeing and
cut in on the profits otherwise. Fine
business-for the Britts.
Jimmy Driscoll, the crack little Eng
lish featherweight who recently came
to America on fighting tour, will
battle with Matty Baldwin next Friday
night at New York. On this showing
will depend a great deal of the popu-
larity of the Englishman with the fight
promoters. Baldwin Is rated as the
classiest boy at his weight, 125-130
pounds, and If Driscoll trims him de-
cisively he will jump into such great
popularity that he will have no diffi-
Guilty In getting all the good matches
he wants. He will be seen in action in
Los Angeles during the winter
II the reports regarding the excel
lent condition of the great colt. Uncle,
are true, and he has returned to that
/ form which made him the only real
rival of the unbeaten Colin in their
| 2-year-old form, he VIII take rank now
as the champion S-year-old, since Colin
has been shipped to England, and
SnOulu GdSllF uP win ShO OtASA
stars of that division on the coast next
winter. Hildreth will ship his stable
to Santa Anita at once, including all
the horses he has at Emeryville ex-
cept those which are to be kept in
the north by Frank Taylor for the
Emeryville daily grind.
Lovers of chess will be Interested
in the report of the games played yes
terday at the Los Angeles Athletic
club. Captain r. B. Griffith of the
Athletics team and George Hallwegan
of the Court Street club played seven
hours and forty minutes and then sub
mitted what probably Is draw game
| to Referee j. w. DeArman for ad1udi-
cation. Captain c. r. Pierce of the
Court Street club beat George s. Hupp

| ty minutes of play. w. s. Waterman
| OF the Athletics drew with f. Pelouze

| hours OF play. Fl. ID. Ruddisill OF the
Athletics defeated M. c. Ettinger In
twenty-seven moves, requiring two and
half hours of play. Much interest
Is being manifested in the tournament.
Jockeys Lee Notter and Eddie Du-
gan are in line for furnishing some
next winter. Dugan will ride for Presi-
dent Tom Williams and Sam Hildreth,
while Notter will be up on the horses
that Charlie Ellison will race on the
coast. These boys now rank as even
rivals for the premier jockey honors
of the year and they are at their best
form. AS both stables have plenty of
classy horses, the boys should have a
pretty fight for the premier honors of
the riding colonJ on the coast during
the winter.
1t is reported that Jack (pwin) Sui
livan and Al Kaufman will be
matched to fight twenty rounds for
purse of $5000-dream of it--at Okla
homa City during carnival week, or
about November 80. Something wrong
here. Any club that has $4,000 to put
up as purse need not go to the grave
yard after a bunch of stiffs to fight
for them. The fans thought several
years ago-two or three at least--that
both these alleged maulers had been
retired by the popular verdict of the
patrons Of the game
