UP, WINS FEATURE
Romps Four Lengths TO Good
Over CIoHdIighf, and Madn1an
Quits at the Paddock
By E. w. CLARKE

In spite of two defeats by Cloud
light. the public faith in the sprintlnS
ability of Bedwelrs Madman would not
down and. with 124 pounds on his
back and Richard Reed from BedwelIs
barn 10 keep him company he went TO
the post again yesterday as an odds on
favorite. He finished fourth ana MS
stable mate was behind him.
Cloudlight. with 110 up was not
fancied to beat the Bedweu pair. so
the wise play went in on Pre1ulcio.
The latter was played down from
three TO IL 90 , and Moore sent him
to the post keyed for winning race
CIoudlight. as usual, shot out IN 'front.',
but Madman lost no time in displacing
her. When they reached the turn
Mentry called on the big brown and he
set sail for Madman. cutting down his
lead at every jump. Madman took the
rail and Prejuicio came down in the
harder going.
At the paddock Bedwelrs horse was
done and Prejuicio drew clear TO win
by four lengths from C1OudHght, and
Cloudlight and Enfield, lightly weight
ed, breezed into the show with odds or
80 to ] against him.
GeIico. on the strength Of an easy
maiden victory. was a short priced
choice for the opening race. A tip on
Jim Cafferata drove his price down. and
Kid North receded from threes to
to 1. Estelle VI broke in front but gave
up to Dixie Dixon in a furlong, and
the latter dlly looked the winner at
the paddock. but Kid North caught her
tiring in the last jumps and beat her

which shared the early foot, finished no.
where, and No Quarter was a neck
behind the winner. Bucolic was third
at a long price.
A belated play at post time sent
Grace G. to the barrier an equal choice
with Darlington. and they ran first and
second, though Darlington was prob
ably the best. He got of last. and
did not make his move until the
stretch was reached. while Grace G. was
always close to the pacemakers, Lord
Clinton and St Francis Both quit in
the drive. The show went to the fast
finishing Roy Junior.

He is still looking 70 bet some money
on his chances. He says that he has
s.. 900 to wager that he will beat Burns,
but he is looking for a good price 9pr
the coin. Barry's ambition is to retrieve
the defeat he suffered at the hands of
Al Kaufman and if he is successful
with Burrs he will be right at the big
blacksmiths heels with challenge.
Burns did his usual work over in
Alameda yesterday afternoon, going
three rounds with each of his sparring
partners. Dave Mills, Kid George and
Tim ONeil. The latter took the place
of Loupe Carranza and though not quite
so clever as the swarthy scrapper he is
heavier and therefore better qualified
to rough it with the Salinas giant.
Burns viii keep up his steady grind
till Sunday afternoon, when he does his
last work He intends to wind up in
blaze of glory and will take on every
big fellow who cares about donning a
pair of the mitts. A large delegation
Z of his old Salinas friends will be there
to see Jack work and he will endeavor
to show them all he has in his makeup.
GRIFFEN GROWS ANXIOUS
Promoter Blot will put his reserved
seats on sale tomorrow morning at
Gunsts. 500 Market street; Tom Cor
belts, 271 Stevenson and 1917 Ellis
street, and The Hague, 1885 Fillmore
street. Orders are pouring in from the
Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys
and around Salinas and it looks as
though there will be a big out of town
crowd present.
Jim Griffin is getting a bit anxious
about his fighter, owen Moran, whom
he has billed to take on Tommy Nc
Carthy here next month. According to
the eastern dispatches they are trying
to match Moran and Murphy over again
in Boston on April 5. Should Moran in
jure himself Griffin would be in nice
muddle, so he's taking steps to have
this match cancelled
Then again Moran might possibly get
the worst of it with the Harlem lad.
In this event he would diminish at
least 25 per cent in the estimation of
the local fans. The waning of inter-
est in the fighter would mean the loss
OF many dollars at the box office so If
Griffin can crush the Boston match he
will be doing some good for himself
and the fans alike.
Jim is also on the job to land a re-
turn match between KetcheI and
Klaus. He hit the wires last night
with an offer to both men, but as yet
he has not received an answer. IT is
the auburn haired lads intention to
put the middle weights on in this CITY
on the afternoon of July 2. He has
made a promise to show that day and
he will if there is any chance.

principals fail TO make a choice.
BARRY SHOWS UP WELL
The time is getting rather close now
and the various candidates probably
will be starting to marshal their forces
without further delay. The very fact
that there viii be two plums on the
tree will stir UP many who probably
did not figure that they had chance
The naming Of these men will be a hard
job and it promises TO take up lot of
valuable time.

work he did yesterday afternoon Barry
did not even draw long breath. The
only pity was that he did not have a
few more sparring partners to help him
out Sailor Carberau was the only vol
nnteer TO report on the job and Barry
could not very well open up on him
when there was nobody in reserve.
The sailor is a large, well built chap
and is willing enough. but he lacks the
skill and the experience to put Barry
10 a test. The Chicago man contented
himself with allowing the sailor 10
swing on him as hard as he pleased
Occasionally Barry would show his
cleverness by blocking the punches and
dancing away, but this was so easy for
MIN that ne varied the monotony by
allowing the sailor TO maui him about
as he pleased.

Crying in the Wilderness.

Speaker Cannon is crying in the re-
publican wilderness that tariff revision
agitation is dangerous. Certainly,
Uncle Joe, it is highly dangerous; in
fact, it is like a stick of dynamite in
the hands Of an ignoramus. But what
are you going to do about it? The in
surgents are playing with it as though
1t were harmless, and you have no in
f1uence to check them. Your only hope
was President Taft, and he now seems
very much inclined to play in the same
back yard with the insurgents.
What an awful mess the country
would get into If such a combination
OF insurgents and the president should
have a majority Of the next congress,
and start in at a special session after
March 4 on the piecemeal revision
plan, But hold your soul in patience
the democrats will have the control,
and will act as a balance wheel to
keep the old engine Of state running
smoothly Your standpat friends in
the senate will, perhaps, prevent any
tariff reform until after 1912 when the
democrats hope to have full control of
the government, and then the ultimate
consumer will be able to see daylight
ahead.

as possible in the matter. None Of
