CLASSY FIELD IN
PACIFIC UNION
HANDICAP
Best Two Year OIds on the
Coast Hook Up Today in
Feature Race

The fourth renewal OF the Pacific
Union handicap as stake exclusively
for 2 year olds is scheduled for today
at Emeryville. AS was to have been
expected, in view of the quality and
quantity of the nominations for this
event, the field named overnight as
prospective starters is not only the
classiest in the history of the stake but
the largest as well. The entry list
includes Ii of the pick of the year
oIds IN local training and it is proba BILE
that the majority of those named will
face the barrier.
). e. Hildreth has seemingly decided
not 10 accept the weight allotted F'itz-
herpert who was assigned 126 pounds
by the Handicapped Hildreth yesterday
wired Frank Taylor, his local repre-
sentative, that he would ship Joe Mad
and the suggestion is that u he I'VE viii not
send Fltzherbert north. Taylor accord
ingly accepted the weight on Joe Mad
Den and also named Force to go on the
strength Of an impressive mile which
that colt worked for him at Emeryville
Ihursday There is a bare possibility
lnat Hildreth may have changed his
plans at the last moment. however, as
Joe Madden has. been entered for one
of the races at Arcadia today.
Inc others that figure in the list

All of these except Torbellino. Ell
Picaro and Joe Madden have been rae
ing at Emeryville frequently since the
opening of the local racing season. and
their form is familiar ito San Francisco
race goerS. Ell Picarot has never shonn
form TO warrant the belief that he
Will be formidable contender in the
company which he will be meeting to-
day. Torbellino has been prepped for
the race at Tanforan and will make a
much better showing than on the occa-
sion of his only previous start. That
he will relish the route that the young
sters are going for the first time is
quite likely. Joe Madden won q race
at Arcadia few days ago and may be
expected TO show improvement over his
good eastern form as result of S. c..
The race Is at mile and presents a
very open aspect from the betting
standpoint Previous winners of the
stake include Charlatan. Tony Faust
and Early Tide.
AS a sfdelight to the principal event
scheduled for decision. This is a
futurity course sprint, and Roseben,
the big train, is scheduled to start
in 1t with an impost of 135 pounds
Roseben has been showing a. disposition
to go sore after his races, but he has
been working well in spite of this
tendency and will go to the post a
sythe's good flly Berry Maid. an erst-
while conqueror of Roseben in the east
is the one most likely to give him an
argument.

tion given to Dorando Pietri, in
the home of G. T. Cont in Yonkers,
Ulpiano Pietri, brother of the great
runner. made a sensational accusation
against John ]. Hayes, relative to the
recent Madison Square garden race, and
said that Dorando would not meet
Hayes again on account of Hayes un-
sportsmanlike action. The statement
was made to Michael P. Driscoll, a
prominent athlete of Yonkers. In 1t
Ulpiano said:
MY brothers victory over Johnny
Hayes In Madison Square garden dem
onstrated his superiority and also
showed that he was the real victor of
the London Marathon. In the garden
race Hayes deliberately fouled my
brother twice, and also tried it every
time he attempted to pass Dorando.
who was forced either to step near the
rail or be forced back. Because of this
unfairness Dorando will not meet Hayes
again, and the rumor that the pair are
to meet in a series of races is not true

FRENcHMAN STILL FIGHTING

NEW YORK, Dec. 11.-Baron Pierre
de Coubertin of Paris. president of the
International Olympic commission, in
letter addressed to Prof. William
Sloan of Columbia university, takes up
anew the fight that he has been waging
bitterly between his organization and
the Amateur athletic union of the
United States since the Olympic games
in London last summer.
The baron makes a spirited protest
against the validity of the plan of the
American campaign to take the lead in
calling together the international body
of amateur athletic officials, which
must meet to decide the time place
and other conditions of the Olympic
games of 1912.
Professor Sloan is one of the two
American members of the international
Olympic committee, the other being
Allison v. Armour of Chicago.
