Hildreth Heads List
OF Winning Horsernen
Keene's Horses Are Disappointments and
Rival Goes to the Front
By c. c. CARLTON

NEW YORK, July 11.-Sam Hiidreth
has planned TO send King James 70 the
post for the $4,000 Saratoga handicap,
one and a quarter miles. and viii also
start Fftzherbert in various stakes of
value at the Spa. Including the Ad-
vance stake, Hildreth's horses have
won s6S.270 here, while James r.
Keene's winnings amount to SOL .312.
Early in the season 1t was believed
that keene's horses would keep him at
the head of the winning owners for
Maskette. Sweep, Celt and Hilarious
were regarded as inyincible. But Celt
has not shown his last years form.
while Sweep and Hilarious have been
disappointments. M1skette, however.
is still the greatest race mare in train
ing and is the mainstay of the Keene
stable Whether she can defeat Fitz-
herbert or not is a question that few
turf critics can answer just now with
confidence. That she is better year
old than Hilarious. however. there
seems to be little doubt She was eli
gible to meet Fitzherbert in the Ad-
vance, but she did not start because
of her race in the Mermaid stake on
the previous day. Maskette will not
race at Empire City. but will go direct
TO Saratoga in a day or two. where it
is possible that she may meet Fitz-
herbert in a race that will decide the

3 year old championship. Hildreth says
his colt can beat any horse in America.
including Maskette. and he generally
speaks by the card
The success of Hildreth is due in a
measure TO his business relations with
John E. Madden They were bitter enc
mics years ago and lndulged in a ply
steal encounter which resulted in Hill
dreth's withdrawal from the eastern
turf. Hildreth was in disfavor until E.
z. Smathers purchased a big stable
several years ago and secured a train
er's license for the veteran horseman-
Hildreth and Madden then became
warm friends and have been like
brothers ever since. Madden sold Uncle
to HiIdreth two years ago for $50 .000
but the colt unfortunately went wrong
Then Madden sold King James and Joe
Madden TO Hildreth for about s25.000
and also joined the latter In the pur-
chase of Fitzherbert from II. r. Brandt
for SIS. 900. These transactions enabled
Hildreth TO get upon mis- feet. so that
today he is one of the wealthiest turf
men in this country.
Madden has always had a high
opinion OF Hildreth as an expert
trainer. and once said that he would
rather sell his horse TO the owner OF
Fitzherbert than to anybody else.

Grass Courts May Hurt
Came Of Coast Experts
California Tennis Men Make First Eastern
Appearance Tomorrow
By GRANT SMITH

The FIVE tennis players who left this
coast for the east carry last week VIII
make their first appearance across the
Rockies tomorrow While the teurna-
ment is one OF the least important they
will play in while away and the con-
testants hardly of the caliber they will
be called upon TO laeet later on. the
outcome will be eagerly awaited by the
local fans.
The coast players viii go into the
tournament with only two days in
which TO aceustom themselves to the
turf courts and spike shoes. As the
change will be from faster to a
slower game II wis work less of a
hardsip than would the reverse. As
the change made little or no difference
TO Miss Hotchkiss. il Is not expected
IL viii seriously handicap the men.
The latter, of course. depend more upon
speed than a woman. and the slow
bounce might rob taeir game of some
Of its effectiveness.
II the coast players fall down in
their first tournament they would stand
little chance of meeting with success
further east unless the courts throw
them of entirely. IN that case they
might become used TO them before
the big events are played.
The players who went from this
coast. with the exception OF Sinsa-
baugh are the strongest that could
have been sent, and the mooted Ques-
tion of whether or not the players here
are in a class with the best in the east
Will al last be settfed. Mclaughlin
and Long in singles and Mclaughlin
and James IN doubles are easily our
best players. and If they do their best
and fail those who have been con-
tending that the eastern players have
nothing on the coast players viii have
to admit their bias On the other
thing like the success that attended
Miss Hotchkiss' recent visit, it will be
a case Of hats of TO the local boys.
The western championship. which IS
second only to the national champion
ship. is the title the coast players VIII
go after strong. and this is the one
thing they look 20 have the best chance
TO win Those who have seen the
Chicago players perform are of the
opinion that Mclaughlin. Long and
Bundy are fully as clever
While Mclaughlin is the main re-
lance in singles. owing TO the fact
that his recent form has been better
than Longs the latter proved more
effective against the fasteners at Del
Monte last year Mclaughlin is the
most spectacular player on the coast.
but Long when he is right. puts UP
powerful game. In figuring out a pos
sibIe winner. Bundy, the southern CAL
ifornia champion. should not be entire
II overlooked. His peculiar style Of
play may prove more effective than
that OF either Long or Mclaughlin
Bundy has a service that is a puZzier
until one becomes used TO it.
The San Francisco call., 1909-07-18

Mclaughlin and James have held the
coast championship in doubles for
three years. and are unquestionably
the best team in the west They are
expected TO give a good account OF
themselves in both the western and
preliminary national doubles. If they,
fail to win the western championship
there viii be little chance for them in
the national doubles.
Local players are taking an unusual
interest in the Pacific northwestern
championship events. which have been
progressing all week at Portland.
National Champion Hazel HotchRiss
holds all the titles. and it is expected
she will successfully defend. W. G.
hnowlton. local player who hardly
belongs in the championship class, has
been winning his matches in singles
with ease. He has no doubt met inferior
players, as the top notchers in the past
would prove much too strcng for him.
II lie quite likely Miss Hotchkiss and
Knowlton will win the mixed doubles
championship.
The postponement OF the Santa Bar
bara tournament was a good move as
with only a fair amount of success.
with Miss Hotchkiss and five of the
best men players absent. While no
date has been set the tournament will
probably be held In September shortly
after the Del Monte championship
tournament
The first of series oit interclass
tournaments for the Trout cop was
begun in the California club courts
last Sunday and viii probably be COM
pleted today. The new trophy will
take the place of the Hammond cup.
which was won three times by Maurice
Mclaughlin
The tournament started last Sunday
hardly came up to the standard Of
past events. Heretofore there have
been FIVE classes in these tournaments.
but the championship and fourth
classes were missing on Sunday. The
small entry list was due no doubt to
the absence Of a majority of players
from town. The club tournaments will
no doubt pick up when the summer is
over.
The third class was won by D. Aus
tin. while the first class was completed
to the finals in one half and the semi
finals in the other.
In the latter H. Gabriel will meet
the winner of the match between John
CasselI and S. H. Derby. The third
class will be played today. The win
ner of the first class viii play from 80
behind scratch, while the second and
third class winners viii be at scratch
and Is S-6 respectively.
Announcements have been sent out
BY the Golden Gate tennis club for a
handicap doubles tournament TO be
played in the park courts on July 2s.
Play will begin at o'clock and de-
faults will be called at 1890.

Two Biggest Wheel Events
Prove FizzleS

Although riders are more numerous
than they have been in over 10 years.
the last two wheeling events were
nothing like as successful as the large
entry list and general interest led
followers OF the game to expect. In
fact. il would not be putting it too
strongly to state that the two events,
which were expected to prove the
biggest of the year. proved fzzies-
The fourth of July races at Ala
media. which drew the largest entry
list in the history of the sport on this
coast. through lack of police pro-
lection and the failure OF a number of
the officials to show up. had to be
called off before half the program
had been disposed Of
On the heels of this bloomer came
the biggest fixture of the year. the loo
mile relay race While it was expected
the Garden City wheelmen would win
handily, the failure Of the other three
teams to finish made a joke out OF the
affair The New Century and Berke-
lev wheelmen showed up with only
nine instead of ten riders, consequently
C. Laye OF the former and B. Martin
OF the latter had each to ride two re-
lays
Tie Golden City wheelmen dropped
out after the third relay. while the
Berkeley wheelmen gave il up during
the fifth relay. The new Century
wheelmen quit after the eighth relay.
when the Garden City wheelmen were
leading by six minutes. and there was
little or no change to make it up.
The race was held over the Berry
essa course. near San Jose. and the
riders of the visiting teams all fell
during the first relay. There was a
bad spot in the road which they were
unprepared for.
An effort was made to have the Ala
media races postponed from July 5 held
at the stadium on August l in con-
junction with the pursuit race for the
Clancy cup The Alameda officials.
however, would not stand for this and
the races will be held over the triangle
at San Leandro the first Sunday in
August The Clancy cup race has been
postponed to the latter part of August
The second annual race for the Bert
trophy will be held at the end of next
month over the San Leandro triangle.
1t will be a so mile relay race for
six man teams. Last years race was
won by the Garden City wheelmen.
The Garden City and Bay City wheel
men will meet in the near future on
the indoor track at San Jose. Tt will
