Los Angeles herald., 1910-01-07

q EATTLE is the latest possibility
on the summer racing map, dis
~ patches from that city telling OF
hopes entertained by Manager James
McEl-oy of the Meadows course re-
garding the experiment of holding a
meeting there with oral betting to
evade the statute against bookmak-
ing, Seattle formerly supported an
extended season of racing every sum-
mer and always had good horses and
excellent attendance. 1t is Il sporting
center that ranks second only to Los
Angeles and san Francisco and un-
doubtedly would do as well with a
meeting under the handicap of oral
betting only as any other city of SINH
lar population. With the raw deals
handed out to horsemen at salt Lake
City last fall, this class of patrons of
the sport will welcome any efforts at
holding another meeting at Seattle and
rejoice at the prospect.
Jockey c. schilling is riding at
Emeryville and doing fairly well. He
is experiencing the same kind of luck
that falls to all Jockeys who stay out
of the saddle for a long time and try
to begin all over again. He is growing
heavier at a fast rate and soon will
be in the Bullman, Knapp, Willie Du-
gan, Willie Davis class. He is riding
free lance for the present.
The track at Juarez is developing in
to a strong rival of Santa Anita for
speed. Ordinary platers are running
six furlongs better than 1:13 right
along, five furlongs in better than a
minute and many miles in better than
1:40. The Juarez management is to be
congratulated upon this success with
the track and it is to be regretted that
the freakish and unusual weather con-
ditions at Ell Paso this winter had to
come in q bunch to mar an otherwise
successful season. Racing at Juarez
always will be successful and It looks
like the sport was permanently es-
tablished there.
Clarence Berry, brother of our Hen,
is at his hotel suffering with ptomaine
poisoning. He and Hen mad planned
to leave last night to inspect their
oil fields at Bakersfield, but owing to
his illness the trip was postponed un-
til the last week of the month. It
also caused Hen to wire to his associ-
ates upon the coast league directory
board to call the directors meeting for
the last week in January, instead Of
earlier.
Jack Nunnally, the speed marvel that
set and still holds the world record
for fiye furlongs, is in racing condl-
tion again and Is slowly rounding to
good form at Jacksonville. His legs
are sound and owner A. Il. Dayton
expects him to develop his speed back
to its once-great form.
The crowd in at Jeffries' cafe yester-
day afternoon looked like meeting
of baseball magnates, directors and
managers. Hen Berry led off for the
Angels, Jimmy McAleer for Washing
ton, Happiness Hogan for Vernon,
Frank Chance for Chicago Cubs, F. c.
Kripp for Sacramento and Danny Shay
for Kansas City, not to mention sew
eral players and newspaper men, but
there was not a real big story in the
bunch.
Danny Shay, who is well known in all
Coast league and State league cities,
dropped in from Kansas City on his
way to San Francisco. He is manager
of the Kansas City Blues and expects
to land the club at the top of the PEN
nant heap next fall. He sold Carlisle
and Roy Brashear to Berry a few days
ago, and says that the fans are due to
be most agreeably surprised when Roy
