BILE at the track. Jack F<eene says
he has greatly improved since leav-
ing California. The other boys in
clude E. Callahan, who will ride
for Spreckels; Selden, Kederis,
Manders, Bucton, Gargan, w.
Fisher Coburn, Cotton, Radtke,
e. Williams, Page, Fogarty, Den
ny, Anderson, Riddle and Gilbert.
So it will be seen that California
racegoers will be favored by the
presence of many of the best jock
eys in the country.
Tom Ryan's string arrived at
Emeryville from Denver. Down
patrick, Maynoro, a very fast two
year-old; Clara Hampton, Toll
Box, Galvesca, Roman Wing and
four Others make up his string.
Ryan has had only fair success
with his horses this summer.
Chance is looking forward eag-
erly to the season of 1911, and Will
leave no stone unturned i'm the task
of recOnStru~ ting his machine.
The youngsters who will probably
make the early iaunt to Californ a
are Kirwan, Safer Ball, Clark,
Tony, Cooney, Doyle, Fisher, Sew
ell, Angeineier, Clark, Cook and
Ingerton.
Charley O'Leary. the Chicago
boy who has been playing with
Detroit for several seasons, expects
to start tomorrow night for Flori-
da and join the band of touring
Tigers under command of George
Mullin. Oscar Stanage, the catcher,
is in Chicago and will accompany
O'Leary.
The record attendance at the an
nual football game between Cali
fornia and Stanford is assured for
Saturday week With the excep-
tion of a few hundred of the cheap
er seats, every seat in the enlarged
bleachers has been sold. The to-
tai seats for the game this year
will be about $4,000, and with the
standing room for more than 5000
the largest attendance ever seen on
local fields will be present.
Stan Mitchell has now fully re-
covered from the effects of his ac-
cident at Reno a few weeks ago
and will probably take his place on
the varsity team against the Olym-
pic team tomorrow afternoon.
Watts of California also sus-
sustained a slight injury some
days ago, but his injured knee is
now well on the road to recovery
and he will be in fine shape for
the game.
Hap Hogan has returned for the
Vernon-Angel series and has been
seen around the old haunts conf
dentially telling his worshipers how
joyous a teetotaling time he had
in San Francisco. He comes back
with two signed contracts in his
pocket, one from Mcdonald, a for
mer member of the Terre Haute,
Ind, team, who was drafted by
Chicago, and Stewart, the San
Francisco twirler, who came from
the Houston, Tex, team. Hap is
putting all his ever bubbling en-
thusasm into the home team series
players benefit and then will bid
the diamond adieu until spring
rolls round again.
The election of officers of the
Pacific Coast league will he held in
San Francisco on the evening of
the first Saturday in January. Ru-
mors of changes are growing and
there are plenty of supporters to
cry for a Southern California and
Oregon representative in the league
dictatorship. Grey Oliver, a local
sporting writer and official scorer
of the local diamond, is the candi-
date of the local fans for secretary
of the league, and there are few,
barring those in the ring, who
would not welcome the change.
Graham will not be next years
president; that is assured. Cal
Ewing has been suggested, but
that is only a self-perpetuating
idea that seems to have originated
in the San Francisco camps and
survives through its age. An en-
tirely new set of directors would
please the coast fans immensely.
Boost for the change.
