INDOOR CHAMPIONSHIP
MEET ATTRACTS FANS

NEW YORK. Oct. 29.-Great inter-
est is being shown in the coming in
door championships at Madison Square
garden on October 81 and November 1.
Owen Henry, the young Texas sprint
eT, will likely be among the starters.
If he does he will surely make the
metropolitan stars run to hold their
own. Henry is, in the opinion of those
who saw his performance at New Or
leans, the best Splinter in the country
today. After having been set back two
yards in the 100-yard race, he was less
than two feet from Rosenberger, the
winner, at the finish, and Rosenberger
is accounted one of the best sprinters
in the east.
Second only to the desire to see Hen
ry compete, the thing that will arouse
most interest in this meeting is the
fight between the teams of the Irish
American Athletic club and New York
Athletic club for the title indoor cham
pions. The Irish American Athletic
club is the national champion, having
won the meet at New Orleans, While
the New York Athletic club is the
metropolitan champion. The Irish team
will certainly be pressed to the limit
to demonstrate their superiority over
their rivals

place on November 10. Eight men may
compose a team, five to count. The
distance will be about six miles. and

ANOTHER ASPIRANT AFTER
WORLD CHAMPION G0TCH

NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-Antonio
Pierri and his two Turkish lions"
Yussiff Mahmout and Hail Osman,
arrived here last week. Pierri is bent
on matching his charges against
George Hackenschmidt, the Russian
lion," and Frank Gotch, America s
champion.
Pierri said he will deposit $1,000 guar
antee that Mahmout will defeat Gotch
and the same amount that Mahmout
will throw Hackenschmidt twice in an
hour. He will insist, though, that the
bouts be catch-as-catch-c style.
"Hackenschmidt is an actor" he
said. HE doesn't know how to wres-
tie. He is star at the Graeco-R Roman
style, but that is merely show stuff
He knows nothing about out-and-out
wrestling. His long suit is giving the
atrical exhibitions.
"Gotch is a great wrestler. He can
defeat HacEenschmidt without half
trying and no one knows that better
than does the Russian. For that rea-
son they will never meet in fair
match. I think so much more of the
ability of Gotch than 1 do of Hack
that 1 will give the American no con-
cessions. He must meet my men on
even terms. Then if he wins will say
he is the worlds greatest wrestler"
After Pierri had discussed the rela-
tive merits of his champion and the
other claimants of the worlds title
he told how Hackenschmidt, Zbysco,
Lemm and CANA evaded him in Eng
land. He said:
while passing through London on
my way to Turkey from America last
May the managers of all four of these
wrestlers insisted that they have a
chance to meet my man. / refused at
the time, but promised to return in
September and take on one or all of
them. I kept my word and reached
London in September and Immediately
posted $1,000 to bind a match with any
of them. Despite a clamor from the
sporting public of London for match
all four evaded me for four weeks and
then skipped out of town.
'Hackenschmidt is coming to this
country next month. He has already
signed a contract to make an Ameri-
can tour, and when he arrives here I'll
be ready to match Mahmout against
him."

MASKETTE, QUEEN OF THE
ElLLIES,' WILL RETURN

NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-Maskette,
called the Queen of the Fillies, will
race next year. The story that she
had broken down and would be re-
tired to James r. Keene's Castleton
Stud, Kentucky, had no foundation.
She is in grand health and to the eye
is as sound as the day she was foaled.
With Ballot earning rest in the
south, Maskette viii be the oldest of
Mr.. Keene's string of racers next year.
She will head the brigade, but will
not be raced frequently. Her owner
has decided upon this character of q
campaign for her as he is anxious to
have her retire to the stud in good
shape and not worn out by too much
racing. Mr.. Keene has no intention of
sending his racers abroad. He has
told his friends that he will stick to
the American turf until the last track
gate is closed against his thorough
breds.
much of the enjoyment of life is
gained by looking at my horses race"
he said. when that is deprived me
in this country, | don't know if it
will matter whether 1 send them
abroad or sell them. The same results
will be achieved so far as I'm con-
cerned-they will no longer be a source
of pleasure to me, no matter how l
may dispose of them"
There will be at least thirty-five
horses to carry the famous white with
polka blue dots Of Mr.. Keene next
spring. These horses, nearly all
youngsters, are now taking daily ex-
ereise at the Sheepshead Bay track.
That Mr.. Keene is sanguine of the
future of the turf in this country is
evident from the large string of racers
he will carry through the winter. In
the spring, after the youngsters have
raced few times, Mr.. Keene, follow
ing the lines of his old policy to re-
duce his stable TO about twenty-five
head, will have sale. But that he
sells winners and not "culis" has been
proved at times to his financial cost.
Novelty, France and Rose Queen are
a few of the fast horses he has parted
with in recent years. That this trio
were marvels of speed is now a matter
of turf history

FUTURE OF CALIFORNIA
RAGING LIES IN DOUBT
Legislature Is Expected to Place
Ban on All Kinds of
Betting

There is considerable discussion at
present among horsemen and even pol
iticians in regard to the future of rae
ing in California. There are many who
venture the opinion that the ban will
be put on oral betting at the next leg
islature. Of course, this depends to a
great extent on the coming election.
There will be some action at the next
legislature to a certainty There is al
so a movment on foot to Danish book
making from all. the California tracks,
and to that end, according to inside
information, a bill is likely to be in
troduced to permit the pari-mutuel
system of betting and also to limit the
number of racing days. This bill will
be backed by all the associations
where county fairs have been held in
the past and by all trotting associa-
tions. The head of the California Jock
ey club, however, is opposed to the
pari-mutuel system as against book
making, but the Los Angeles associa-
ton, of which several of the stock
holders are bookmakers, favors the
pari-mutuel system.
Bookmaking has been banished from
the Kentucky tracks, and conditions
have improved in that state under the
new order of affairs.
Book betting has a fascination for
race-goers, even If they are compelled
to take two to one when they should
have had four to one.
The present odium that attaches to
the racing game is due in a great
measure to corrupt bookmakers, re-
cruited from the ranks of "get-rich-
quick" takers and even touts. Asso-
Citations have permitted many men Of
doubtful reputation to conduct books,
which accounts for the condition of the
turf throughout America.
At present there are between $50
and 500 horses at Emeryville, and at
the rate they are now arriving there
should be 700 horses inside of a fort
night, which will be plenty for the
opening on Saturday, November II. It
now begins to look as if there would
be no dearth of coming two-year-o odds.

COLISEUM MOTOR TRACK
OPENING RACE PROGRAM
Crack Riders of Two Countries to
Compete in Champion
ship Contests

AS the grand opeIing of the csseum
motorcycle track is today, the ms are
jubilant over the anticipation of again
seeing some real motorcycle races. The
Coliseum being the only motorcycle
track on the Pacific coast, and the
management having engaged the best
professional riders from all over the
country to appear, the fans will sure
ly not be disappointed in their an
ticipations. The Los Angeles Motor
cycle CLUB, under whose auspices the
races are being held, are doing all in
their power to make this race meet
ing above all others a grand success.
They have invited five of the largest
motorcycle clubs in Southern Cali
fornia to come in a body and attend
the grand opening.
The San Diego club arrived this
morning in two special coaches. A
special parade has been arranged to
start from the Los Angeles Motorcycle
club at 10 o'clock, in which the visit
ing clubs~will participate until lunch
time, after which another parade will
be started for the Coliseum.
A big feature for this afternoon will
be the three-cornered match profess
Sional, between the Australian cham
pion, Steve Senhouse; Pacific coast
champion, F. E. Whittier, and w. E.
Samuelson, from Salt Lake. Senhouse
is anxious to have a chance to meet
Americas champion motorcyclist. He
has great confidence in his ability and
says the way his machine was cork
ing yesterday in practice he is sure
of winning the great match race. He
considers the Coliseum one of the best
tracks he has ever ridden on, and says
if anyone defeats him today they will
be compelled to break the track record.
Whittier says he has no fear of being
defeated and will back himself with
real money to defeat any rider. The
free-for-all professional race will be
another great race, as five or six of
the best professionals in the country
are entered to compete.
The attraction among the amateurs
will be another three-cornered match
affair between Ray Austin of Pasa-
dena, Al Ward and M. j. Graves, the
ten-mile national champion.

WHEN SHELTER DROVE CAR
INTO PHOENIX HOTEL LOBBY

Leon T. Shelter and his manager
of agencies, Captain H. d. Ryus, will
spend fair week in Phoenix. They
both have a host of friends in Phoenix
and anticipate the time of their lives.
Shelter says that his only regret is
that the Adams hotel has burned down,
thus depriving him of the pleasure
of driving into the front door and
into the lobby, which was an annual
stunt of his. They tell good story
in Phoenix in regard to this stunt, but
as yet no one has been able to find
out who the joke is on. One evening
about 1880 o'clock, when the lobby was
crowded with ladies and gentlemen,
considerable commotion was caused by
great humping over the curb,
through the front door and into the
center of the lobby. When the smoke
cleared away sufficient to see anything
it was found to be Mr.. Shelter in his
racing car. Every one noticed the
floor begin to sag a little, and the clerk
yelled to take the car out before the
floor gave in. Mr.. Adams proprietor
of the hotel, slipped over to the desk
and told the clerk to keep his mouth
shut, as they needed new tile floor,
anyway, and if it caved in, he guessed
Shelter was good for it.
