Player Flags Layer and
Judges Investigate

The judges at Emeryville have been
asked by Book Maker George Rose to
investigate the conduct of All Konigs-
berger, former layer, who is now bet
ting on horses from the ground, for re-
marks and threats alleged to have been
made by the latter owing to his inabil-
ity TO bet on horse with Layer Rose.
Konigsberger's ire became aroused
when Rose refused to take a bet from
him on Jest, which ran in the Kenil-
worth handicap. the fourth event on
the card yesterday at Emeryville
The horse was supposed to be live
one and the money was sent in on
Blakely's filly. So many good things
have been put over lately at the trans
bay track that the layers have become
a bit timid after several screenings.
Rose evidently regarded Jest as an
other one of the live brigade The
horse figured very prominently and the
switch in riders from Diggins to Glass
made Jest loom UP as Pay Streak's real
contender.
Koenigsberger went to Rose to bet.
but the latter refused to take his
money. Thereupon, it is alleged that
he opened up on Rose and let out a
TRADE of abuse which Rose reported to
the judges.
The judges have taken the charges
under investigation.

OVERALL BECOMES
AN OIL MAGEATE
Famous Chicago Pitcher Decides
to Say Farewell to His
First Love

The call Of the California oil fields
is stronger for Orvie Overall than the
call OF the diamond. This famous giant
of the Golden State. looked upon as one
Of the greatest pitchers in the world,
has positively announced his retire
rnent from the national pastime. He
has become an oil operator in the
southern part Of the state and is al
ready toiling away at his new game.
Overall. one of the wise men of base
ball, saved his money during the last
six years and recently invested it in
valuable oil property in the Lost Hills
district south Of Coalinga. Experts
say that the giant pitcher will shortly
become a very wealthy man II ms
holdings pan out the way they should.
All indications are favorable.
At the present time. Overall, together
with several well known oil men, is
forming two big companies. 1t is un-
derstood that the diamond star will be-
come president of both concerns. Ac-
cording to recent reports, he has IN
vested several thousands Of dollars in
these enterprises and owns a controH-
ing interest in the stock.
Overall was a great figure on the
diamond as well as the football grid
iron. Some nine years ago he bios
somed out as Cahfornia's brightest
football star He played four years as
guard on the blue and gold eleven and
also pitched for and captained the base
ball nine of his college.
When he finished school in 1904
Overall signed with Mike Fisher to
twirI for the champion Tacoma club.
The next year he went to the
Cincinnati club of the National league,
but, like many other great players who
started there. he was a failure.
In 1905 Overall was taken over to
the Chicago Cubs by his old friend,
Frank Chance, the peerless leader
The California giant was an immediate
hit and the following season figured in
the worlds championship series, which
the Cubs lost to the White Sox.
But in 1907 and 1908 Overall figured
as Chicago's greatest twirler in the
worlds championship contests with the
Detroit Tigers. Last year he was also
a star, but during the season just
closed his arm went back on him and
the big fellow did not pitch up to his
usual standard. He was harshly criti-
cised by the Chicago fans and sporting
writers for his poor showing in the re-
cent series with the Philadelphia Amer
leans and it is believed that this had a
whole lot to do with his determination
to quit the diamond and engage in the
oil business
Frank Chance has been doing every
thing in his power to induce Overall
to harken TO the call Of the green dia-
mond, but apparently the influence of
the. great baseball manager has had
no effect on the man whom he practi-
lily made famous Chance still in
sists that Overall will be in uniform
next season, but Overall emphatically
says No"

set of the game and never for mo-

piled up so large a score. Dunnigan

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Dec. Is
Not to be outdone by what they con-
slider Californias attempt tol divert at
tention from the Stanford interscho-
lastic track meet and to harm it, the
Stanford authorities are making every
effort successfully to oppose the Berke-
ley event. Especially do the local men
resent California's advertisement that
the meet at Berkeley is to take the
place of the one held at Stanford for
several successive years. The asser-
tion made here is that the California
affair is an imitation of Stanford's eff
forts in this direction and an effort to
diScredit it is warmly resented
The most important step taken so far
In the competition is the determination
made by the interscholasic board of
conrol this afternoon to hold the STAN
ford meet next year on April s, one
week before the intercollegiate meet
on the California oval. This date an
ticipates the California interscholastic
meet by two weeks, the cardinal date
coming when interest in track events is
at its climax and the Blue and Gold
meet when attention to these matters
is at a low ebb.
Secretary K. l.. Shaupp IL has been
instructed to send out invitations to all
the high and preparatory schools along
the coast, and it is now assured the
northern cities will be represented next
year. Stanford men on their Christmas
vacation will also do yeoman service
in lining up their prep school teams for
this meet. and the Stanford authorities
are confident that the opposition from
Berkeley will work no material harm
to the meet here

Dennis, the best feather weight in the
ranks, will clash with clever little
Johnny Roche in the main event of the

the Centennial club. Dennis recently
knocked out Walter Scott, which gave
him the undisputed title of champion

and his admirers believe that he stands
an excellent chance of beating Dennis
in four rounds.
The special event will bring to-

Campi is a midget. but possesses lots
of class and speed. Fox is not so we'll
known. but he has done very well in
his recent tryouts and may possibly
make a good standoff against the for
mer Olympic club bantam.

FLANDERS BREAKS
A COAST RECORD

Fifteen Days in Los
Angeles
By R. R. L.HoMMEDIEU

The Pacific coast record for a non
stop run OF an automobile was broken
yesterday by a Flanders 40" when at
noon the car passed the 1892 mile
mark set several months ago. A few
minutes after the former record had
been smashed a dispatch was received
by the local Studebaker branch from
the Lord motor car company. which Is
putting the car to the test. that reads,
Flanders go passed coast record 1882
noon today. Car still running per
fectly. Now after worlds record"
An idea of the severe test TO which
the Flanders is being put may be gained
from the knowledge that the machine
has been avera ging more than 500
miles daily for Is days. The course OF
the car. which is run in relays OF drtv-
ers. each driver taking his place at the
wheel for period OF eight hours. ac-
companied by an observer, is over the
county roads to the beaches, and back
to the city.
The campaign for the nonstop run OF
the car was mapped out by Harry a.
Lord, president of the Lord motor car
company OF Los Angeles. the retail
distributors of the EMF products
in the southern metropolis and Pasa-
dena. 1t has been figured out that in
order to break the worlds record.
which was made last summer in the
east. the car must be kept running
until the opening Of the Fiesta park
