WINTER SEASON
ON AT EMERYvILLE

4 OGAN DENNY, who now is near
/ native son by reason of several
IL years residence in California, ar
rived yesterday from the northwest,
but did not brine any horses with him.
The name of Denny Bros. has graced
the racing programs at local and mid
die west meetings for so many years
that it will seem like something Is
lacking during the winter without the
familiar title, colors and the horses
that they once raced here. But ne
says that they have sold all their
horses, except Aunt POLY and viii
try the experiment next winter OF
watching them run for somebody else
He stopped off at Emeryville and says
that there are not 450 horses at the
northern track and that not one-third
of them are ready to race. The empty
stalls are being reserved for the big
stables from the east and they are
slow coming in, but Denny says that
good horses will run for the edification
of the northern racegoers during the
winter.
Doc Ogle is due to arrive in town
today. He stopped off at Frisco to
visit some friends, but intended COM
ing south last night. He may change
will have to change his plans If he
does it.
Baron Long and Art Pitcher have
gone to light housekeeping on Second
street, between Broadway and Spring,
BY light housekeeping is meant that
they sleep there and eat at John
agreed to make up the bed and sweep
out the room every day for them.
This will enable Baron to cut down
his auto bills every month as Wright
street was so far away and the owl
cars quit running, at o'clock, so he
had to ride home in a buzz wagon
every night. Art refuses to buy an
auto, declines to walk and SO has
taken rooms down town to obviate the
necessity of walking or paying Sc to
ride home.
Mano Fan, alias Gen. M. Oki, is
about ready to return to that dear old
Los Angeles, after a fortnight in Ari-
IONA. Fan has been attending to bust
ness affairs in the sandy state and
getting acquainted with the Hassa-
yampas, and has been sadly missed
along the Rialto. He writes that he
will return shortly and that should
mean at once.
Nearly a carload of bookmakers and
their assistants passed through Los
Angeles yesterday bound for Frisco.
The majority will return to Los An
geles when the local racing season be-
gins. In the bunch were Jim Kennedy
of Brooklyn, we'll known here; Meyer
Cohn of New York. also a familiar
figure at local meetings, and several
others. Cohn sure viii return, but
Kennedy, who is accompanied by his
wife, may stick at Emeryville because
he thinks there will be more money
up north than down here. After he
experiences the sensation Of being bad
ly fooled he will return.
AL Greenewald was touched up for
$500 yesterday and the good natured
little Hebrew cigar merchant was not
quite as clipper as ordinarily is the
case. The $500 represents the opinion
of the court regarding the damage Al

COAST RACING
SEASON OPENS
EMERYVILLE BEGINS LONG
RUN TODAY
HiIdreth Candidates Undoubtedly Will
Be Made FaVorites to Win First
Classic of Northern Jockey
Club for 1909
JBy Associated Pres..l

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 6.-Small
fields, but of infinitely superior class
than at any previous meeting in it's
history, will be the rule of the New
California Jockey club, which opens its
winter season at the Emeryville race
course tomorrow.
The uncertain features in connec-
ton with racing on the metropolitan
tracks and the probable curtailment Of
the New Orleans meeting, together
with the liberal added money increases
in the numerous stake events to be de-
cided here during the season, have
been the meas of stimulating the local
racing situation to an extent even be-
yond the expectations of the track
officials.
Many new owners have elected to
winter their strings on the coast,
bringing with them the cream OF the
riding talent in the country. An index
of the caliber of the horses that will
sport silk here is shown by the nomin-
atoms in the various stakes, in which
appear the names of such equine stars
as Jack Atkin, King James, Roseben,
Dandelion, Dorando, Chapultepec, An
gelus, Montgomery, Fitzherbert, Fire
stone, Trance, Frank Gill, Peter
Ounce, Big Chief, Meelick, Uncle, Roy
al Tourist and others which have stake
winnings to their credit.
To pilot these nearly every jockey in
the country has been engaged, among
them being E. Dugan, Walter Miller,
Notter, Sweet, Schilling, v. Powers,
Mccarthy, Upton, Gilbert and others.
Sam Hildreth leads all owners with
175 nominations to his credit. The sta
bles of F. A. Forsythe, P. r. Chinn,
President Thomas H. Williams, Barney
Gil. al 1xuiF A dr1Yn
Spreckels, Charles Ellison and others
follow closely with representative en-
tries.
The Doris handicap the richest event
of the western turf, win be worth this
year between $4,000 and $4,000; the
California derby, the blue ribbon clas-
sic, will approximate $4,000, as also
will the famous Thornton four-mile
stakes, while the California Oaks and
other mixed events have been substan-
TALLY bettered in the way of added
money.
The feature of tomorrow's card is the
Opening handicap, with $4,000 added
money. Five other races, including
two handicaps. will make up the re-
mainder Of the card. The Hildreth
stable undoubtedly will supply the IA
vorite in the big events, for which
surely two and possibly three entries
from his barn will contest. The. 1ndt-
cations point to clear weather, fasl
track and a record breaking attend
ance.
Dick Dwyer and Jacob Hoffman viii
alternate at the barrier during the sea-
son. and the former will send the horses
on their journey in the initial event
at 1:4O D. m. Edward Hopper will pre-
side in the judges stand, assisted by
G. H. Pettingill while Martin Nathan.
! son will officiate as Handicapped anc
program writer.
The betting ring has been enlarged
to accommodate the increasing demand
for space by the booAnfakers, thirty
| five of whom are expected to cut II
when racing commences. This number
will be augmented considerably wheI
all of the big. eastern operators shall
! have arrived.

Flynn fought in improved form, and
although he was there with his oldtime
rushes and aggressive style OF milling,
he wore himself down and was not as
strong at the finish as Barry. He
fought with more calmness in his man
ner and probably more effectively than
in other local battles, but after the
fourth round he began to slow down,
and while doing good and effective
work throughout, he was stopping TOO
many stiff wallops with his head and
body thereafter.
In the first four rounds Flynn man
aged to pick up a slight margin of lead
over Barry, although in two of these
rounds the Chicago boy had an even
break. Beginning with the fifth Barry
seemed to warm up to the task ahead
of him. and he became more effective
and soon wiped out the lead which
Flynn had taken. From that period
until the end he made good progress,
and when the tenth round was started
it looked as IL Flynn hardly could do
enough damage in that round, without
the aid of a knockout, to overcome
Barry's lead.
FLYNN made a good finish in the last
half of the tenth, but 1t was not snftt-
Gent to give him an even break on
points scored and the general verdict
was that Barry had won by a good
margin.
Instead OF TOUR DOulS as Originally
caried, there were five. Manager Nc
Carey was pleased that three bouts,
all preliminaries, had ended in a deci-
sive manner, but II fact that these
three scraps had not extended over a
total of four full rounds caused him to
make another ringside match, and ne
put on Jimmy Austin and Roy Rodgers
for four rounds As neither boy had
trained for the bout, they could not put
up their best scrap, although they
mixed it In lively fashion for portion
Of the distance.
Some excitement was occasioned in
the scrap between Danaher and Mack
when Danaher was knocked out with
WALTON to the temple. He fell to the
mat and rolled over, kicking and with
ing as If in great pain. The average
fan at ringside could not see the blow
that won the fight and owing to the
awkward efforts of the scrappers up
TO that time there was an opinion
among some that Danaher was trying
to quit Doctors Scroggs and Russell
Jumped into the ring and made an eX-
animation, after which they announced
that Danaher was struck on the tenn
Die and that his spine had been affect
ed. almost to the extent of paralysis,
and that while the injury was not Sc
rious, it was sufficient to make Dana
her helpless to continue.

for laniJp, putting on Jimmy Austin
and Roy Rogers for four rounds. This
bout was considered as an entertain
err and while both boys put plenty of
action into their work, they did no
damage and draw is about all either
is entitled to receive.
The preliminaries ended, the fans be-
gan to call for the big boys. After a
delay of few minutes, Flynn entered
the ring amidst a great ovation by the
fans He was accompanied by Abdul
the Turk, Eddie and Danny Webster
and Jack O'Keefe, his seconds. Barry
followed a few seconds later and also
was given a rousing reception. Barry
was accompanied by Teddy Murphy,
the boy manager, AID Wolgast, George
Herberts and Joe Lazelle, his seconds.
Battling Johnson Immediately entered
the ring and challenged the winner on
a winner alxe-all basis, with the oeffr
of $500 side bet. The big Russian
was well received. After instructions
the fighters were sent on their way
by the gong.

racegoers and no finer aggregation of
good fellows in such small packages
could be imagined, as neither weighs
over $50 pounds and neither IS more
than five feet in height. But they are
big men in the ring.
Adolph Becker, who tried to help
Cyclone Thompson win the lightweight
championship of the world, has re-
turned to Los Angeles for visit of a
fortnight with friends and incidentally
look after business matters. While
he is here Frank is in FRISCO looking
after their northern branch. Adolph
still believes in Cyclone, and says that
some day, some time, somewhere, the
fight fans will wake up and know
Cyclone as the champion. His con-
fidence in the homely boys ability to
whip Nelson and all other lightweights
is nearly as strong as Cyclones idea OF
his own ability.
Alvin Booker. who in other days
made the hearts of racegoers happy by
riding winners with great regularity,
came to town yesterday long enough
to tell the boys that he now is
daddy" The miniature man says the
important event occurred Thursday
night, and that the young man Will be
as great turfman as his pap some
of these days. Alvin has not decided
what to name him, being too busy ad-
miring him, but says he will make
decision in a few days. Champagne
looked like Bartlett water while Alvin
was in town, but he took the sundown
express back to Monrovia that he might
not miss the pleasant duty OF rocking
the kiddo to sleep.

cent arrivals from Latonia, bringing

IN HE baseball team of the club will
play it's old rival, the Norwalk
baseball team, tomorrow afternoon
on the Norwalk grounds. Manager L.
l.. Burke of the Norwalk team is a
prince of good fellows and invariably
gives the club boys one rare good time,
so that it is anything but hardship
for the club to get team together to
go to the country town. This may be
due to the fact that Burke is a MEM
Der of the club. Although there is an
old saying that while there is life
there is hope" it hardly would seem
fair to apply 1t to the chances of the
club team winning the game from Nor
walk tomorrow. Despite the fact that
the club has among its baseball mem
bers such stars as Welton, Guernsey,
the pitcher with the voice of an orator;
Halbritter, the good-looking boy with
the red necktie; Wheeler, one of the
cutest, and, probably, Nest, Jawn Nest,
formerly of st. Louis, all that seems to
be looming across the horizon for the
club boys is hope, unadulterated hope.
The boys were surprised Wednesday
to receive a flying visit from Sam Coul-
ter, the clubs champion lightweight
boxer, who arrived Tuesday morning
to cast his vote. Sam will remain in
the city until Monday morning and then
will hike back to the woods in the
northern part of the state, where he is
putting in some busy days developing
a muscle that savors of the mountain
environments. Sam win return to the
city about the first OF the year, at
which time he will start campaign
which will end only when he has won
the Pacific coast boxing championship
in the lightweight class.
A political discussion which nearly
elected Bryan broke loose in the dining
room Thursday night Guernsey led
the pros, while Schepps waved a red
flag for the cons. Neither side won
however. as Dick was in hurry tc
clear the dining room and when Dick
is in hurry he is no respecter of per-
| sons.

best company and which was devel-
oped at Santa Anita He thinks he
has as good prospects for the winter
with his bunch of yearlings and as he
is a good judge of horsefiesh and
trainer without a peer, he probably
will be able to show some good juven-
lies, at least.
M. 3. Arterberry also was among
the arrivals at. Santa Anita yesterday.
bringing two yearlings that have
proved up to all expectations in trials
and which he hopes will prove as good
in the real test. Arterberry is no
stranger in Los Angeles, having raced
here in other years.
Sam Lazarus the millionaire breed
er-turfman of Texas, has engaged eight
stalls and will try the local game for
the first time. He is one of the big
men of the American turf and never
fools away his time with nuts, so it
might not be bad idea for the pikers
to be friends with him.
Johnny Powers and Archie thinner
have dropped off the cars at Latonia
and will try to pick up a few purses
while en- route to California. Powers
has Animus, Burgher, Top Note and
others in his string, while thinner has
Temp and others in his bunch. They
will be along in plenty of time for
opening day.
Young McGovern proved a big sur
prise to the fans last night in showing
all of his old-time form and a little bit
more. The bantam is as good a card
now, as result of his Showing last
night. as he ever was, minus his cham
pionship claims, and probably will be
seen in action again soon. He used
that wicked right and the new left
with great effect and lad he shown
this disposition to u1e both hands in
his fight with Coulon he might have
won that battle.
Great progress is being made with
the work on the roof over the Jeffries
arena at Vernon, and it will be in
readiness for the Al Kaufmann-Terry
Mustain scrap Tuesday night. Cam
vas, of the waterproof kind, was sent
out yesterda" and will be put on to-
day. The dome. which fell Thursday,
will be completed today or tomorrow,
at latest, and very little other work

touches. 1t will be quite an improve

appreciated by the fans who attend

ventilation facilities have been pro-

odors from the outside will cause no
