COPPERTOWN Wins
FROM NAPA NICK
Son of KeniIWOrfh at Post After
Rest Beats FaVOrite i'm
Feature Race

Coppertown, making his second ap-
pearance after a letup at Tanforan.
showed a return to his early form when
he beat some clever sprinters in the
feature race at Emeryville yesterday.
The son of Kenilworth was one of the
field of eight that faced the barrier
in the fourth event at five furIongs,
and he was heavily played. Napa
Nick ruled favorite
There was considerable delay at the
post, due mainly to the unruIy actions
of Napa Nick. They were sent away
to good start, and Napa Nick soon
showed in front. He led until the
stretch was reached, where he and
Pride of Lismore INDUCED in bump
ing match that ruined the chances of
the favorite. Meanwhile Coburn saved
ground by getting through next the
rail with Coppertown and he drew
away, winning handily from BaIronia
and Pride of Lismore Daddy Gip
closed with rush and was a close
fourth.
All the favorites went down to defeat.
Redeem, one of the winners, had the
call at the opening of the betting for
third race. but a plunge on Round and
Round caused him to be the first choice
at bugle call.
Redeem got away flying, while Round
and Round was away poorly. Redeem
led all the way, romping home in front
of Round and Round and Edwin T..
Fryer.
There was an upset in the year old
race, Pearl Bass, a 20 to 1 chance, win
ming easily from Abe Slupskey and
Rita
Father Stafford was plunged on in
the second. but he was pocketed early
in the race and was beaten by Burning
Bush and Gramercy
Merlingo, the second choice, won the
fifth as he pleased from Aks-Ar-Ben,
which was badly ridden by Jarrett.
The boy was of very little help to him.
J. G. Glenn, cut off soon after passing
the half mile post, was headed out for
second place.
Titus ii proved an easy winner of the
last race, while Woodlander took sec
ond money from Siscus. Ampedo. the
favorite, made dull showing.

this match as a sort of warming UP or
conditioning affair to fit him for bout
with KetcheI or Klaus
AFRAID OF THE REFEREE
Evidently the colored sports and
other Chicago celebrities who figure on
betting a lot of money on Johnson are
fearful that the champion will get the
worst of it in the referee controversy.
a story comes from the Windy city to
the effect that the sports back there
are clamoring for johnson to get hold
of some old timer at the game to look
out for his interests and to stand by
him in the referee fight.
Evidently the Chicago sports look
upon the referee feature as one of the
most important of the arrangements
for the great battle. They are afraid
that Johnson is not going to get an
even break int he selection of the third
man in the ring, and they fear that he
has bitten off a larger chunk than he
can comfortably chew. let alone digest.
This is the reason why they would like
TO see one of theb oys of the old school
lined up with the black champion and
aiding him in theb litter fight which he
has undertaken.
1t will mean a lot to the betting men
Of Chicago, and possibly all over the
country. Johnson's home is in the
Windy city, and there is no doubt but
that at least 100000 will be bet on
him by the sports of that particular
place. They know him well back there,
and while they have a lot of respect for
his shrewdness they believe that he
will be outwitted unless he hooks UP
with seasoned manager-one who is
willing to go to the bat and fight to the
very last ditch till he gains his point.

terms with the leader for a stride or
two. with Fighting Bob's head laid
along his own flank, and all three run

At the time of the Cofroth- Hester con-
troversy over a San Mateo permit, Dis

ODDS TO L ON PAPKE
They are betting TO 1 that Papke
will beat Thomas when the middle
weights line up on Saturday afternoon
at Cofroth's Mission street arena. or in

looked as though there would be no
Thomas money at any price. but, much

last night This all goes TO show that
Joe still retains friends galore around
san Francisco and that they will be on
the job TO roto for him when he goes
against the Illinois thunderbolt.
1t is even money on Is rounds, with
most Of them looking TO bet on Papke.
Most Of the Thomas shouters believe
that II their man can stick 3 rounds
with Papke he will be able to go the
whole route. In the old days the early
rounds used TO be the bad ones for
Thomas. Once he got a start he used TO
be a bear. If he is as game as he was
when he left he figures TO make hur-
ricane mill OF ii on Saturday.
Papke is a more formidable looking
fighter now than he was when he went
against Ketchel here last July. He
looked like a heavy weight then, so the
fans can form their own ideas as TO his
present appearance Papke looks upon
