NO EXTRA CHARGE.
State Fair Officials Blocked in At
tempt to- Make HOld.Up on Taft
Day.

rumOr has gone out that an extra
charge will be made by the State fair
authorities upon all who wish to hea.'
President Taft speak at the fair
grounds. This is untrue.
AS matter Of fact the PROPOSE lion
was made by member Of the execu-
tive committee Of the State fair, but
Gov. Ansel and Capt. Gonzales ap-
peared before the committee yester-
day and declared that Mr.. Taft would
not speak at the fair ground at all If
this were attempted.
Instead Of making an extra charge
the committee decided to remove the
fence so that there would be no
trouble for persons to get into that
part Of the field. The grandstand on
the football grounds will be reserved
for ladies.-The State.

NOBoOk Making
At Emeryville
Says Williams
Jockey Club President Returns
From East and Guarantees
Racing Meet

That the New California jockey club
guarantees SO days of racing at Emery
Vile was the assurance given by Presi-
dent Thomas III. Williams last night
upon his return from New York He
also stated that the law would not be
violated in any. manner and'tha as far
as the association was concerned there
would be no book making or pool
selling.
President Williams went east about
month ago to attend to business
matters and look into the racing situa-
tion on the metropolitan tracks.
Before starting east President Will
liams said that there would be at least
so days of racing at the Oakland track
and in subsequent statements expressed
the hope that the season would con-
tinue longer if conditions warranted.
Following the announcement that there
would be racing, shipments of horses
were at once made and applications
for stalls continue TO reach Secretary
Treat.
During the absence of Williams the
court of appeal rendered decision
sustaining the constitutionality of the
Walker-Otis anti-betting law and as
adopted at the Emeryville track is the
most absorbing topic of converse ton
in Sporting circles. Williams would
not discuss this phase of the situation
last night further than to say there
would be no book making.
The racing season will open at the
Emeryvile track. Saturday, November.
20. said Williams, "and the New Cali
fornia Jockey club guarantees at least
so days of the sport. You may rest
assured that the law will be fully
complied with and that there will be
no violation in manner, shape or form.
No book making or pool selling will
be permitted. at the track. AS to the
method of speculation to be adopted
have nothing to say.
AS | announced before my departure
for the east, there Will be no purse less
than $3.50. In the matter of overnight
handfcaps and other purses, / will say
that they will be as liberal as the situ-
alton will warrant. The association
will do everything in its power to
maintain the sport up to the high
standard il has attained in the past
and the horsemen will be treated as
we'll as possible under the prevailing
conditions.
Before | left New York I was as
sured that a number of owners would
ship their stables out here. Sam Hill
dreth will send carload and Andy
Blakeley plans to campaign "a string at
Emeryville. There is no question that
there will be plenty of horses on hand
for the meeting.
Martin Na'thanson, who. resumes his
per. will leave Chicago Monday night
for the coast and upon his arrival
here Will at once prepare the program
for the opening week of the meeting
Every effort will be made to furnish
sport of a high class character As
] said at the outset, the. law Will be
fully complied with, and meanwhile
We will await with considerable inter-
est the result of the appeal of the
O'Shea case to the supreme court.

Princeton Has The Material.


Looking over the record made by the
Princeton eleven to date, one finds 1t
difficult to enthuse, but the fact re-
mains that the Tigers have the ma
terial and the coaches to turn out a
strong eleven. Individually the team is
very powerful and has fully demon
stratcd it, but the men do not play to-
gether as it seems they ought to after
almost months practice.
This is partly caused by the quarter
back problem. Dawson shows good
Judgment in running the team and has
lots of life, but many times he missed
punts and when he did get them was
not able TO run them back effectively
The only other available man seems
20 be Chrystie, and he is weak in just
tho points in which Dawson is strong
md vice versa. The choice of ends
has settled down TO four men--Welch.
CHI. Meigs and King--with the first
two having the call at present. All
there men are good. but that is all that
can be said for them.
The most notable thing about the
rest of the line is the fight that BAN
man and MacE'adyen are having for
the center position. IT is a contest of
Sb'Nh hSciiipN NNibil'f 'hhA ''i'
lay-off of MacFadyen has enabled the
lighter man to get into all the games
so far, where he has shown up ex-
tromely well. One guard position
seems assured to Waller, and Woehr is
now occupying the other regularly, but
buckingham is a strong factor and
does not need to play much better to
supplant the other man. Captain Sieg
ling and McCrohan, at the tackles
have been opening big holes and play
ing as well as anybody on the squad
but the latter still has a lot to learn.
when Read, Hart and Mccormick
have been in the back field together
they have formed a combination that
has not yet been stopped, though most
of their gains have been through the
holes made by the strong tackles. Both
Read and Sparks. who substitutes for
him, are backs who are reminders of
the great Tibbott of last year. for they
are fast and fight till they get every
inch possible. However, neither one is
in condition yet TO stand a long, hard
game.
Prlnceton's play so far can be char
acterZe5 as distinctly ragged, and the
faults are so apparent ana mistakes so
frequent that 1t looks as il II wero GO
ing to take a long time to eradicate
them.
