Club Championship.

The annual tournament that decides the
local Individual championship Is now very
near completion and has produced re-
markably close contest between the three
leading participants. OF these 1t will be
seen that Adams (present holder of the
title) Is now slightly in the lead. closely
followed by Smell and Norman. The
two latter have. however. finished their
schedules, while Adams has still to play
with Webster and Napoleon. both of
whom are capable Of extending him to
the utmost. The final issue is. therefore,
still quite doubtful.
Smell was considered to have the best
chances until very recently. when he en-
countered SEE and somewhat unexpected
ly lost to him. This result was, however
not entirely unlocked for, as his oppo-
nent has shown some chess of the high
est order during the course of the tour
ney. Champion Adams two remaining
games will naturally be watched with
the greatest interest. He can afford to
draw one of them and still retain the
lead by a very narrow margin. but if he
loses either the championship will go to
Smell.
The positions Of the leading players in
the tourney are as below:

Battle at Sacramento.

At the Sacramento battle ground the
track owners, headed by Tom Williams of
the New California Jockey Club. are CEN
tering their attack on the senate. but
there seems to be small chance of re-
versng the verdict .. the assembly. al
though it is claimed there is a bare
chance.
The history Of other legislative battles
against the sport contains many dramatic
episodes. with the magnates always on
the wrong side. In Missouri in 1905
when the first vote in the senate revealed
a victory by a single vote for the track
element and one of the senators arose
joyously and asked that the bill be re-
heard and another cali taken, thus dis
posing of ant!gambling legislation for
that session. it was Senator Hicks of
Sedalia who furnished the climax. Aris
ing on the second call. he said:
Gentlemen, I voted against this bill
because l promised the state fair people
| would do so. 1 have kept my word
and this time I vote for myself. My
vote is yes"
And the bill which prohibited betting on
horse races in Missouri became law.

CURTAIN FALLING
ON SPORT OF KINGS
Countrywide Battle Against
Horse Racing Entering
on Last Stage.

is racing in the United States playing
farewell engagement these days? 1t be-
gins to look that way. although 1t hardly
carries much of shock with it. Horse
men throughout the country nave been
looking for the dropping of the curtain
on the sport of kings" quite while
now and are not looking for any encores
from those manipulating it
The drama now being played out in Cal
ifornia may spell finish for the sport in a
few days. The Pacific coast has been con-
sidered the bulwark of the running turf
for several years, and with that carried
little seems to remain for the turfmen
Kentucky is still holding the fort, but 1t
looks little rocky even in the blue grass
region. Florida is boasting Of meeting.
but the Everglade state is hardly likely
to be able to conserve the sport and keep
the bangtails In feed during the lean
period which looms up ahead New YORK
has hopes. but that is about all. with
next two years.
Local Prospects Poor.
Promoters around Washington have
"tollied" themselves all winter. and any
number of pipe dreams as to racing
on the local track have been fed on the
gullible but the odds seem to be against
any resumption of the sport with any
degree of success.
Arkansas jumped in with a claim that
the anti-race bill Of that state would be
repealed for the benefit of Hot Springs,
but there seems to be little doing down
in that neck Of woods.
Farther south they have succeeded In
landing the bettors in Jail. but the lawyers
are now busy telling the promoters in
Louisiana that before they get through
with the Locke law they will be able to
drive a coach and four through the
measure. The "touts'' seem to be the
only ones who are taking any stock In
the arguments.
Down in Texas they seem to overdo
the thing, which has always been the
case in the past. and the legislators and
reform bodies are sitting up and taking
notice of the doings at San Antonio. FL
Paso and other points, and so all along
the line. Michigan has also tabooed the
"boOkies.''

a pitcher is given six runs in the
first three innings and cannot go
anead and lick light-hitting team

indeed grievious. His tenure of ONCE
