for Conley to jab at, always looking
for an opening for a stiff body punch,
but it never came.
After the twelfth round the fighting
was fierce, with Conley rushing Attell

and the round closed with both men

Neither man showed signs of distress

PROSPECTS Bright
FOR RACING GAME
Brilliant Opening Gives Promise
of Highly Successful Sea-
son Across Bay
By JOSEPH MURPHY

The opening of the winter racing sea-
son in California at Emeryville Sat-
urday was very gratifying to the
On all sides could be heard. "The people
like the sport, and they will have it."
While it has been predicted that the
season would be a fair one, it looks
as If it will be even better than many
expected.
The big football game, which proved
strong counter attraction, kept many
away from the track. 1t is one big
game year, while you can go to the
races any day of more than a hundred.
It is thought that Saturdays sue
cessful opening will have a tendency
to bring many stables this way that
planned to ship to other tracks. Many
horsement have been holding off, wait
ing to hear from California and learn
the prospects before shipping. The
card Saturday was very attractive and.
while the patrons had but little sue
cess in picking the winners, the races
as a rule were well contested.
On all sides 1t agreed that Arasee
was the best horse in the handicap un-
der the conditions. Even If Spellbound
had been off to a better start IT is
doubtful If he would have come home
in front.

The card offered at the transbay
track this afternoon includes several

furlongs brings out several fast sprint
ers. Enfield, Balronia. Daddy Clip and
Jack Paine will measure strides.
The remainder Of the card is very
ordinary In fact the events have
very open appearance and few juicy
priced ones are likely to creep home in
front.
The program for the week should
bring out the best horses in training at
the Oakland track. number of handi-
caps are provided by Martin Nathan

Wednesday the Crescendo handicap
will be run. The latter event is at a
mile and 70 yards for all ages.
The attraction Thursday will be the
Yo Tambien handicap at five and a
half furlongs. 1t is also for all ages.
The Vo1ante handicap at a mile for

Autos Marvellous Leap
SAVANNAH, Ga, Nov 13.-some of
the inside facts about yesterdays grand
prize race came to light today, among
them being the marvellous leap which
Willie Haupts Benz took when it
Jumped the track at the dangerous
Montgomery crossroads turn.
Fifteen feet above the ground a
small branch is broken off the liveoak
which Haupt swept. Eye witnesses
say the big car turned a complete
somersault, its rear end severing the
branch. Haupt and his mechanician
were thrown from the car in midair
into a thicket of bushes, which prob
ably saved them from serious injury
The Improvement in American driv-
ing as compared with the grand prize
race of two years ago was much COM
mented on by the officials. At the
finish four American and two foreign
cars remained on the track. The Amer
leans never for a moment swerved
from the plan thought out by them
before the race.
The foreigners, though having the
great advantage of faster cars, seemed
TO forget every element of victory ex-
cept speed and daring. There were
frequent comments that the American
team, If equipped throughout with ma
chimes as swift as those of the foreign
ers, would have driven them to a better
finish.

covery today.

telegraph wires were knocked out of
commission and deluge of rain fail
and hail stones, occurred in the
course of the terrific storm which
passed over this vicinity about
O'clock Sunday afternoon.
The older residents of the city de-
clare that 1t was the most terrific
wind storm that has ever occurred
in Marion county. Hail stones meas
uring as large as six inches in cir
cumference were picked up after the
storm. "They were actually the larg-
est hail stones that / have ever seen"
remarked an aged resident Monday in
describing several of the largest which
he had taken the trouble to measure
with a tape line.
The storm broke forth shortly after
O'Clock. Just previous to the storm
the thermometer arose almost to the
summer heat degree. The atmosphere
was almost stirling and there was
but little hreeze. The wind seemed
to burst forth in one terrific volley.

The telephone lines. especially In the
rural districts, were badly damaged.
The linemen had busy day Monday

In new fuses where the lightning had
played havoc. Several telephone poles
southeast of the city, were shattered
by lightning.
A peculiar feature of the storm was
the fact that the temperature grew
but little cooler until several hours
after the rain had ceased falling. A
cold wave usually follows a hail
storm but the local weather observer
declares that there was but little
change in temperature.

cars made but little progress during
