4 CCORDING to a dispatch printed
~ in the Chicago Daily Racing Form
- of last Thursday, the Pacific
Jockey club has notified the Utah
Jockey club that dates for the spring
meeting at Salt Lake City will not be
granted until w. w. Finn Is ousted
from the general managers office.
This action was brought about by re-
ports made to the Jockey club and
the conduct of racing at Buena Vista
park last fall. Undoubtedly the Utah
Jockey club will comply with the de-
mand of the governing turf body and
get new manager, and as John Con-
dron, president of the Utah Jockey
club, and his associates are most anXl-
Gus to place the sport in that state
upon a firm and permanent basis and
stand for honest sport, they will not
be bit backward in helping in any
way to uphold Williams in his efforts
to compel clean racing as Il guarantee
of the perpetuity of the sport in that
state. AS 1 have said many times
heretofore, Salt Lake City is one of the
best summer racing points in the
west, if not actually the best, and If
the sport is conducted in a manner
that win meet the approval Of the
people who support it, there is little
chance Of legislative interference in
that state for the present, at least.
Another season like the fall meeting at
Buena Vista park, however, would be
fatal to the future of racing there.
Bill Lang seems to have joined the
Bill Squires syndicate too. He again
knocked out the paper -jawed fighter,
turning the trick in seven rounds yes
terday at Sidney, N S. w. After
Squires is put to sleep half dozen
more times he is apt to become as
thoroughly convinced as all the bal
ance of the world that he is no fight
er. He has been a very convenient
meal ticket for certain fighters for a
long time.
Dorando, Hayes, st. Ives and Long
boat are being considered in connection
with another. Marathon race at San
Francisco after Dorando and Hayes
have their little duo next Saturday.
All of them are in the winners divis-
ion, and while they have met often in
the past, another little race will do no
harm, as Tom Darmody would sum
it up.
Hen Berry, multimillionaire and
probable successor to John D. Rockefel-
Ter in the oil business after he wins the
1910 Coast league pennant, is due to ar
rive from Bakersfield today. No date
has been announced for the Coast lague
meeting that is to be called to sit in
judgment upon the case of Secretary
Long, so Hen has no special business
on hand in the northern city for awhile.
Theo Breitenstein, once the premier
pitcher In the National league, has re-
tired from minor league service and
will be seen in the new role of umpire
instead of umpire baiter-neXt season.
He will be a member Of the staff of
President Kavanaugh of the Southern
league Brett was a great southpaw,
but Chris Won der Abe ruined his wing
by pitching him every other day
| through out nearly an entire season, in
an effort at keeping his st. Louis team
out of the cellar. For several years
Brett has been pitching for Little Rock
and other Southern league clubs.
Lloyd Jevne, once three-cushion bill
lard champion, but now running the
biggest pool room and billiard parlors
in the Rocky mountain region, has is
sued a challenge to the world at three
cushions. He directs his challenge par
ticularly at Fred Eames, the Denver
player who recently won the champion
ship from DeOro. Jevne is playing
great game even now and without prac-
tice, so he should have little difficulty
in beating the present day crop of
champs and near-champs
Magnates of the American league
have taken quite a big step in advance
Of the times in requiring all players TO
