State League Season
Opens Up Today
GAMES TODAY
San Francisco at Sacramento.
Oakland at Stockton.
Santa Cruz at San Jose.
Alameda at Fresno.

The ever welcome cry of play balf
will be shouted from the diamonds of
four cities of the state league this aft
ernoon-Stockton, Fresno, San Jose and
Sacramento. The eight teams of the
league have been in training for the
past two weeks and indications are that
the opening games will be fast and full
Of the real ginger that the fans like
so well.
Hard and energetic work on the part
of the managers of the various teams
and the officials of the league has re-
suited in the lining up of eight as
evenly balanced mines as ever played
ball in California. Each aggregation
has one or more stars from the big
leagues or minor organizations to help
out and flock of promising young
sters who are sure to make good.
The champion Stockton team will en-
tertain the Oakland delegation at the
slough city. The new Santa Cruz nine,
under the leadership of Bill Devereaux.
will invade San Jose and mix it with
Elmer Stricklett's garden city tossers.
Bud Schroeder's Alameda stars are
carded to go against the promising
Fresno bunch under the direction of
Charley Baum at the raisin city, and
the San Francisco contingent will cross
bats with the Sacramento layout under
the guidance of Billy Curtin.
Games will be played every Saturday
and Sunday afternoons in all the league
cities save San Francisco, which has
no home grounds, but which will al
ternate with the Alameda club in the
schedule. During the height of the
summer season the Santa Cruz nine
will play six games a week and great
season is looked for at the city by
the breakers.

National

LIVERPOOL. March 27.-The grand
national steeplechase of 5000 sover
eigns, including a trophy valued at 125
sovereigns, on the grand national
course, distance about four miles $50
yards. was won by Major f. Douglas
Pennant's Rubio. William Cooper's
Matte MacGregor was second and p.
Whitakers The Lawyer III finished
third. Twenty-four horses ran
Rubio won by 10 lengths. The race
was notable for the number of IA
vorites that failed to negotiate the diff
ficult jumps marking the course-a cir
cumstance that allowed a rank out
slider to capture the blue ribbon of
steeplechasing. Foxhall Keene's two
representatives. Chorus and Prophet
III. brought no money to their hackers.
The betting on Rubio was 66 to
against, on Matte MacGregor 25 to 1
against and on Lawyer III leo to
against.
Rubio came from America when ?
or years old. He was once purchased
for $50 after he had broken down under
training and was driven to a trap. 1t
was some time before his jumping
qualities were discovered.

WELL WORTH KNOWING
ANY LUMP IN wOMAN'S BREAST
is ALWAYS CANCER

The papers made mention some time
ago of several marvellous cures OF
large cancers in women's breasts by
DR.. Chamley. the world renowned can
Ger specialist Of sos McAllister ST.. san
Francisco. Cal. This doctor makes the
bold assertion that he has in over IS
years cured more cancers than any
other doctor living and offers $1,000
il he fails to cure any single cancer he
treats. Strictly reliable; no X-Ray or
other swindle. The fact that not
dollar need be paid until cured should
convince the most skeptical of the
doctors honesty and fair dealing. He
has, probably the best book ever
printed on cancers and tumors cured
without knife or pain, wherein he
teaches and proves that any lump in
woman's breast Is cancer. This book
of testimonials OF thousands OF won
derful cures everywhere is sent free
to all who write DR.. and Mrs. Dr.
Chamley & Co.. describing their can
Ger. The reader may save life by
sending this to some one with cancer.

Holfman's BungIing
Reaches Limit
Five Poor Starts Out of Six
Disgust FOLLOWERS of
Racing
BY J. r. Jeffery

The management of the New Cali
fornia jockey club owes it to local
public that supports racing 1iberally
and loyalty to see that there is an i'm
mediate improvement in the starting
at the Emeryville track. Jake Holt
man has been starting in wretched
form all week and the point has been
reached where patience ceases to be
virtue. for the sport is rapidly being
demoralized at a time when 1t would be
unusually brilliant but for Holtman's
bungling work at the barrier. The
calculations of layers and players alike
are being badly upset in race 7fter
race by the unreliability of the start
ing. The climax to Holtman's unsatis-
factory service came yesterday. when
he achieved only one start that could
be designated as good in the official
form chart. In two races he let the
favorites off so badly that the puplic's
money was burned UP at the post. This
was on Wap and j. r. Laughrey, both
of which ran such exasperatingly clev-
er races from where they got off that
there was little doubt that they would
have won with anything like an even
break. Here is the official record of
Holtman's starts during the present
week: Good IS, fair 3, Struggling 1.
poor 8. bad l. The record speaks for
itself The question is. What is the
jockey club management going to do
about it? Hoffman is scheduled to
start here during the next three weeks.
Starter Dwyer, who is now officiating
at Arcadia, will have two weeks of
idleness al the close of his engage
ment at the southern track before
coming back here to finish the season.
-FOUR LONG SHOTS WIN
Horses at liberal odds won four of
yesterdays races, the longest priced
winner being Triumphant at 80 to l..
There was little support for Trium-
phant. but the other winning long
shots came in for smart set backing.
Walter Miller and Gypsy King scored
as favorites.
The most pretentious race was the
fourth. in which T. II. Ryan's Down
patrick. improving with startling sud-
denness, easily defeated the clever field
that contested the race. Downpatrick
was backed by his stable connections
at 10 to I. He wrested the lead from
Ocean Shore. the eaSiy pace maker, at
the last turn and won by as much as
Jockey Mentry pleased. ]. c. Glenn,
the favorite, got up in the final fur

OUT OF MAIDEN CLASS
Walter Miller. the colt for which T.
H. Williams paid S. C. HiIdreth $4,000
last spring prior to the running of a
2 year old stake that the president of
the jockey club was desirous of win
ming, scored the initial victory of his
career when he beat the cheap lot of
platers that contested the opening race.
His victory was not easily accom-
plished, by any means. as he was put
to hard drive to beat the 25 to / shot.

Patriotic, the second choice, for show.
Patriotic ran poor race, and the ride
that Jockey Fischer put UP with her

The flying start that Hoffman per-

Adena, heavily played, contested the
early running with the winner. but

Avon and Darlington, the latter beat
ing her by neck for the show.
TRIUMPHANT AT 80 TO L
The neglected Triumphant scored a
nose victory over the we'll played Car
thaginian in the fifth. Triumphant had
taken the lead when Prestige and
Berryessa stopped after racing each
other into the ground in the first six
furlongs. Carthaginian came from the
clouds, as in his previous races. Monte,
well played at 10 to l. outlasted the
unlucky favorite, j. r. Laughrey, for
show by nose. Laughrey was turned
sidewise when the barrier went up.
Cruzados was eliminated from con-
testlon in the closing race because
Jockey Cricket Kelly sustained a
painful injury to his leg as the result
of a humping match soon after the
start, in which his mount was thrown
against the fence. The boy was so Sc

Cruzados as favorite, galloped over the
