Dean of Trainers Across the

Turf Followers
BY E. w. CLARKE

The Call snapshotman caught nice
trio in Maxwell, Farrell and Farris,

the sprinting division. Maxwell has
Rey Hindoo, Farrell is training Cloud

on Fernando Monday.
w. C. Maxwell trainer since March
last for the Oakwood stock farm, is the
dean of trainers across the bay and
is known on more than one track in
America. He built two famous courses,
Roby and Hawthorne, both in Chicago S
suburbs, and in 1898 he was superin-
tendent of Chicago's other. famous
track, Garfield park. Maxwell is a
California pioneer. He was a govern
ment freighter before the racing game
started here, and in those days, as far
back as 1854, he had a quarter horse
that could skin anything in the corral
He has been training runners or
trotters since 1865 and he never had a
more consistent bunch than those now
racing for theN Oakwood stock farm.

mares in the stud and are using The
Fog, Tim Payne and Santella as sires.
They are rather proud of the fact that
everything they send from the ranch
has proved a winner, with the single
exception of Directello a maiden 2
year old, that has finished in the money
and will vet win brackets. The win
ners now in MaxwelPs care across the
bay are Rey Hindoo, Xelma G. Buck
thorn, Minedocia and Silvia Fir, all
bred on the ranch. Other winners are
expected from the Ii yearlings in the
barn.
Farrell, too, is shaping them UP for
breeders who are, going to have place
in California turf annals. Molera &
Josephs have a 5000 acre ranch down
south; with a mountain called Pico

Crescendo, out of Fanny Louise, in the

honors Molera & Josephs are going

ANTl-BETT|NG LAW
CharKs Schwartz, Who Made
Wagers on Ball Game,
Found Guilty by Jury

The first conviction in the state un-
legislature at its last session was
recorded yesterday. a jury in the
court of Judge Dunno finding Charles
Schwartz. professional gambler.
guilty of betting on baseball game
with John LeiboId. Schwartz will be
sentenced Friday The law allows

comment
Schwartz took his conviction very
much to heart When the jury re-
turned its verdict he dropped his head
in his hands and cried, "bh my. the
disgrace What will 1 do?" Judge
Dunno ordered him into custody until
Friday, and when Schwartz heard this
he cried like child.
The testimony of John Deibold and
of Policemen Fabius Callahan and j. l..
Tobin was that on July Il, at the To-
cal baseball park, Schwartz bet Leibold
$3.50 to 81 that San Francisco would
not score in the eighth inning against
Oakland Schwartz walked up and
down offering odds of 7 to l each in
ming that there would be no score. A
OI DelS were lllduc, the VIII
nesses testified, but the eighth inning
was the first time the defendant lost.
He was then arrested.
The defense was that Schwartz was
not running a system of bets, but that
he simply made a wager with a friend.
Schwartz testified in his own behalf.
denying that he had offered odds of
Z to each inning. and declaring that
he merely made the one bet with Lei
bold.
The. case was argued by Assistant
District Attorney Louis Ward for the
people and by John j. Greedy for the
defense

OLYMPICS PLAN A
BIG INDOOR MEET
Annual Athletic Contests viii
Bring Together the Best
Teams of the State

The Olympic clubs annual track and
field meet which will be held at the
Auditorium rink Friday evening. Janu-
airy %, gives promise of being the
largest affair of it's kind ever under
taken by the wearers of the winged 90"
Every club of any consequence in the
state will be represented by good sized
teams. A number of college athletes
from the University of California and
Stanford will also be seen, in eompe-
tition.
Last year stanford won the open
relay race. but the cardinal will be
without the services of John o. Miller,
who may possibly this time wear the
colors of the local club in the meet.
The addition of Miller to the club relay
team will give the club an excellent
opportunity of capturing the honors
in this event with team consisting of
Pete. Gerhardt, Elliot Craig, Cecil Cald-
well and Miller
California will also enter a strong
team in this event, while the Barbarian
athletic club can also be counted on to
put forth its best efforts to capture
the honors.
/ Another club affair that is attracting
much attention among the members is
the ladies' night which will be held
in the colonial room of the St Fran
els hotel on February H. The pro-
gram will include vocal and instru-
mental selections, and wrestling and
boxing exhibitions, such as entertained
the members every month before the
fire. These evenings were then among
the most popular events in club life
and it is practically certain that the
full membership will be on hand at
the approaching affair at the st.
Francis.
Last years successful trip to the Yo-
semitic valley. where the members had
such a delightful time snow balling,
playing ice hockey and skating, has
caused the outdoor committee to ar
range for another trip. 1t is planned
to leave the city on Saturday evening.
February 19, and return Wednesday
morning the 23d. As two holidays in
tervene, members going on the trip will
lose but one day from their business
On May s the club will observe its
fiftieth anniversary and to celebrate
this event in specially betting man
ner the cornerstone of the new club
house will be laid on that date The
Importance of the occasion justifies the
club in having an elaborate ceIebra-
tion.s While no definite plans have
been decided upon, one suggestion that
has been made may be taken up and
that is that the club arrange an enter
tainment for the evening of May 5, lay
the cornerstone on the 9Th with ap-
propriate ceremonies and conclude the
celebration with banquet on the
night of the 7th. The directors have
invited all members to make sugges-
tions as to how to celebrate the oc-
casion most appropriately.
The building committee of the club
expects TO have all the bids for the
new building in by the first of next
week. The members are rallying to
the financial support of the club in a
gratifying manner.
