ability that Nelson and Wogast will
meet for the title in short time mere
or in San Francisco the pictures are
Of new interest.
Eddie Taplin, the crack jockey de-
veloped by H. G. Bedwell. is now un-
der contract to r. ]. Mackenzie, the
Canadian turfman and railroad own
er. Taplin and Bedwell had a dis
agreement and the transfer of con-
tract followed, Mackenzie paying
Bedwell $4,000 therefor.
While the oral betting system is
proving fairly successful at Emery
VILE, it is reported that Thomas H.
Williams really is not encouraged by
its success. 1t also is said that he
would welcome the effort of harness
horsemen to secure a modification or
the Walker-Otis bill whereby part-
mutuel betting would be permitted.
This is what 1t all will come to
eventually if any sort of betting on
the races will be permitted.
Jockey Guy Burns, who was in
trouble with his former contract en-
ployer, r. f. Carman, all last winter,
is now under contract to w. c. Daily.
4 disagreement between Burns ana
Daily arose after the winter meetings
started and the Jockey club stewards
awarded the contract services of the
boy to Daily. John w. Schorr the
Memphis brewer and horseman, is ne
gotiating for the contract.
The stewards at Emeryville have re-
instated Cool and Roy r., recently
ruled off with the Rosemead stable
l,,f l1rr &C
had been "hopped." J. p. Sullivan of
Los Angeles proved that he is the
owner and had nothing to do with the
"hopping," so the horses were taken
out of the hands of Ted Welker and
reinstated.
H. G. Bedwell was unsuccessful in
trading Tony Faust to o. A. Bianchl
for Frank Ruhstaller, the crack Bear
catcher colt that has won nearly all
the starts he has made this season,
but he did trade the old sprinter to
Bianchi, getting Gilbert Rose, a high
class 3-year-old. by giving cash to-
boot consideration.
Salvidere, the bear of the metropoi-
itan circuit in 1867, will be sent back
to the races next summer, says owner
L
right he beat such cracks as Peter
Pan, Ballot, Electioneer, McCarter,
Montgomery and Frank Gill. He is
close to the 100000 class now, and If
he will stand training should pass
easily beyond that mark during the
summer.
Bubbles Robinson is anxious to get
back in the local fight game and has
asked for a match with some 12S-130-
FOUNDER. Bubbles is one of the clever
est boxers hereabouts and has won
some good fights. He is @ globe-trot-
ter, though, and only recently returned
from a trip through the bush racing
circuit.
Chick Duffy is asking for a match
with some coast welterweight. He Is
showing excellent form in his daily
workouts with George Memsic at the
Eastside club and is promised q match
soon If he continues to improve.
Paul Roman finally has drawn a
scrap that will force him to extend
himself. He has been matched with
Andy Rivers at six rounds for jan
uary 2S, going on in preliminary to
the Merpsic-Picato scrap. Rivers has
been out Of the ring two years, but
was a. Knockout fighter when he re-
tired.
Frank C. Jordan of Auburn came
down to see the airships fly and Incl
dentally see if any of his political
fences were out of repair. He is a
candidate for secretary of state and
believes in getting away from the post
in front. Although a solid business
man, having been county clerk of Ala
media county for eight years and clerk
of the supreme court for four years,
he also is a thoroughbred good fellow
and has many friends among local
sportsmen, whom he visited yesterday.
