was waxing fat with the boom that
had come to his town.
1t was not as banker, but as mine
host of the Slicer hotel, that Peter
shone. The hostelry was his pride and
he affected to welcome coming and
speed parting guests with flavor of
the true southern gentleman. He
could afford to be affable to these
same guests for they paid him good
rates for his hospitality.
Thus it was that Peter Slicer in per-
son welcomed Mr.. f. Strothers Floyd,
known to his intimates as "Dr. Fixer,"
when that eminent practitioner
alighted from the hotel bus.
The day following his arrival Floyd
became a further hero in the eyes Of
the bell boys and also made known his
generous qualities by coming to the
rescue of a small transforming theat-
rical company that had become
wrecked in Cumberland.

he was a woman hater, but he seldom
sought the company of women. In this

Slicer to Floyd when the stranger was

Why, he wants an apartment to

''Ha, Ha! And why so particular ?"

FAST FILLIES WILL
CONTEST TN THE
GUNST STAKE
EIigibIeS Include Contra Costa,
V0ndef, Indian laid, Livonia,
Eel and Passenger
By J. K. Jefery

The first of the juvenile stakes of
the local racing season will be decided
at Emeryville next Saturday, when the
Gunst. four furlong dash for year
old illies, will be the attraction.
The program book does not provide
for any 2 year old races at the distance
previous to the running of the stake,
and the question of ability to negotiate
the additional half furlong that the
fillies will be asked to go for the first
time will give the affair a more open
aspect than otherwise. Among the like
liest of the eligibles are Contra Costa
vondeI, Indian Maid, Livonia, EEL Pas
senger, Sonia, Good Ship, English Mail,
sylvia Dunbar, Balronia. Miss Roberts,
Tube Rose. Helma and Kiora. The
last named pair have been showing
promising form at Arcadia and the 9TH
ers have been showing to advantage
among the youngsters at Emeryville.
Another important event scheduled
for Saturday is the Derby preliminary.
an affair at mile and 20 yards for 8
year olds with allowance conditions.
This is designed to bring together a
field of the derby eligibles, and the out,
come will be likely to give something

Their present formation is entirely
wrong They use a wing forward and

get better results If they adopted the
3-2-3 formation and omit the wing man
altogether. Their wing in yesterday S
game was of no service, and this will
always be the case when seven men are
asked to oppose eight. Look at the back
division. Those men playing Saturday
did not run half enough; they depended
on kicking too much, even when there
was a chance to run. Again the team
in general seemed too anxious to take
marks when there was ample room to
start the backs going. There are other

OAKLAND PLAYERS
TO TRAVEL WITH
WHITE SOX
President Walter Plans to Bring
Out His Eastern TOsSers
in Style

President Walter of the Oakland base
ball club is not overlooking any bets in
bringing his tossers who are in the east
to the coast this season. 1t took him a
long time to figure out feasible and
reasonable plan of transport alton, but
he finally hit upon the idea of securing
berths for his tossers on the White Sox
special, which will leave Chicago on the
morning of February 2s, arriving here
three days later
Walter wired Charley Comiskey. the
big chief of the Chicago gang, and yes
terday he received an affirmative reply.
The Oakland magnate Will get busy to-
day and telegraph all his players on the
other side OF the Rockies to flag the
Sox special.
Walter has no less than II players
whom he expects Will arrive with the
Chicago bunch. Several of them We're
with the team last season. while others
will make their first trip to California.
The Oakland fans will be surprised to
see the cnange In the appearance of the
grounds across the bay when the play
BALI cry is heard there next month
started mis- men working early, and
within two weeks he hopes that his
field will be in fine condition.
Hank Williams. who took care of the
local field last year has been signed by
the Oaklanders and is fast putting the
place in shape. Walter plans to level
and fill in the outfield and infield and
also to make needed improvements In
the grandstand and bleachers. 1t is
hoped that the players will cease crab
bing about the Oakland ground here
after.
The huge waterproof canvas which is
being made to cover the grass infeld Of

Long will not care how hard it rains
Such coverings have been used in the
east with great success. and Long ex-
poets that the raincoat will prevent
postponement of games this season.
Despite The recent heavy rains the
local field is in fairly good shape and
would be fit to play ball on with a few
days of sunshine. Long spends most of
his afternoons jealously guarding the
precious grass plot. and there is no
chance for anybody to break in there

warm up being Shooed away as fast as
they mako their appearance.
