Quantity and Qualify
Mark Semifina|s
Of Ring Event
Is Bouts From FIyweieht
To Middle Class Slated
For Next Wednesday

Quantity as we'll as quality Is
the keynote of the senifinal round
of the Golden Gloves tournament
coming up Wednesday night at
Turner's Arena. Sixteen bouts are
scheduled and the list includes
prospective champions in every
class from the little flyweights to
huskier middleweights.
Nick Mancini's welterweight bout
with Steve Kekeris high lights the
show. They are bitter rivals and
it promises to be small war.
Kekeris After Revenge.
Kekeris, a potent southpaw punch
er, was outpointed by Mancini at
Grinith Stadium last October and
thirsts for revenge. Mancini bat
tered him into submission with 4
Furnishing body attack, having dis
covered Billy couldn't take it there,
and promises to do the same this
week.
Then there is the 126-pound bout
between Bernie Cady, another
southpaw, and Charles Schneider Of
Colmar- Manor. Cady won easily
from Benny Frady of Pete's A. c.
last week while Schneider was dis
posing Of Bill Coakley. Schneider
was not a pleasing fighter, continu-
ally backing away, but he dropped
Coakley twice with stinging rights
to the jaw and easily may repeat
at Cady's expense.
Davis Begins Title Defense.
In the 112-pound class Grover
Davis opens the defense of his
crown against little Sonny Page Of
st. Mary's, dark horse Of the tour
nament. In the 135-pound division
Ray Lands bout with Lew Burgess
is another standout.
The race for team honors has
narrowed to st. Mary's Of Alexan-
dria, Pete's A. G. and the National
Guard, with st. Mary's q slight
favorite to take the trophy.

Biscuits Third Starl
In Richest Event
Held Doubtful
Kayak II Outstanding
Among Lot Definitely
Figured to Run
BY ROBERT MYERS,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 3.-Four
weeks from today the 100000
added Santa Anita Handicap will
be run off for the sixth year, but
who and how many will try for the
worlds richest turf prize must re-
main unanswered until the day be-
fore the classic.
Many things will happen between
now and the race, but it seems
probable that number somewhere
near the is that went postward a
year ago may answer the bugle
March 2.
Experts can count but six or less
which may be regarded as solid
starters. Heading the list is Charles
s. Howard's 1899 Santa Anita cham
pion, Kayak II, the South American
6-year-old.
Others deemed likely to be present
include George w. Stratton's re-
conditioned Heelf1y, the Bing
Crosby-Lin Howard Latin American
Don Mike, Millsdale Stables Sun
Lover and Maj. Austin c. Taylor S
Whichee, second to Kayak last year
Biscuits Start Uncertain.
BY all odds the sentimental IA
vorite in the race would be How
ards Seabiscuit, but it remains to
be seen whether the old charger can
get up to the event. To date he has
not raced since an ankle gave way
on him last February IA, and while
he has looked his old self in trial
spins. even outranking Kayak II on
one occasion, he is a doubtful starter
until proven otherwise.
Twice the Biscuit was beaten out
OF the big prize by distance no
longer than he can stick his tongue
out, and the injury last February
bumped him out of a third crack at
the stake. The Foxcatcher Farms
Rosemont nosed him out in 1897 and
Maxwell Howard's strapping colt,
Stagehand, repeated the trick in
1898.
Another doubtful one is E. E.
Fogelson's Dauber, also. on the
comeback" trail. making three of
the name horses fall into this classi-
fication. Heelf1y is the third.
Hope wanes that w. L. Brann's
Challedon will come West for the
Santa Anita.
Kayak II Looks Best.
There are a number of possible
starters. Some are good, some aren't
and some would be running merely
because their owners want a candi-
date in the big race and don't mind
paying $1,000 for the privilege.
Ranked roughly, this division
could include Ra II, Specify. Count
Dor, Viscounty, Can't Wait, War
Plumage, Beautiful II, Wedding
Call. Flying Wild, Bubbling Boy,
Gallahadion and Teddy Kerry.
That colt, such as Sun Lover,
might bob up to duplicate Stage
hands feat Is not outside the realm
Of possibility. Trainer Earle Sande's
Stagehand won both the $4,000
Santa Anita Derby and the $780,
600 handicap in 1888.
Until further notice, however, the
wise money is staying on Kayak II.
He's sound, solid and quite a horse.

Teddy Weed, who forced Stagehand
to set q mile and one-eighth track
record Of 1885 here last year, to
defeat him in the $4,000 McLennan
Memorial, will, according to Trainer
Herb Bundscho, be shipped to Bowie
for the spring stakes.
Teddy Weed went slightly an1isS
following that sensational effort,
and was lightly campaigned the
latter part Of the 1889 season. Since
being brought here several weeks
ago, the 5-year- old bay son Of Teddy
and Starweed has been working in
q manner which suggests he will
regain his old-time form in time for
the opening Of the 1910 Eastern
season.
Jack Kugelman Of Philadelphia,

Triumph in Bahamas
Makes Red Dock Biq
F|amingo Threat
Greentree Horse, Under
Arcoro, RoIIies for
HoIf-Leneth Win
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
HIALEAH PARK, Fla. Feb. s.
An entirely new complexion was
thrown on the $4,000 Flamingo
Stakes, to be decided late in the
month, as a result of several sur
prises that developed with the eighth
running of the 7-furlong Bahamas
Handihap here today.
A new threat for the coming mile
and a furlong classic was created
when Red Dock, a gelded son Of
Peace Chance from Mrs. Payne
Whitney's Greentree Stable, came
from behind to take the $4,530 major
portion of the Bahamas purse by
a half length, going away.
F. j. Buchanans fast, but faint
hearted Charlieinfeld, top weight Of
the 10 3-year -olds under 1875 pounds,
saved the place by length and a
half. Mrs. E. Graham Lewis Jes-
sic Gladys, only fllly in the field
after the late withdrawal of Little
Risk, was third.
Crowd Seasons Largest.
Herbert M. Woolf's Prompt Pay,
winner of his only two previous
starts and favorite, was q shock
ing disappointment and lost con-
siderable prestige by finishing sew
enth after racing forwardly for half
the trip. Connaught, Victory Morn
and Stagefright also raced below
expectations.
The largest crowd of the season,
16,474 turnstile count, witnessed the
sport, with celebrities literally scat
tered in the big throng.
Red Dock paid $3.50 and STEP
ped home in 1:24 is. Eddie Ar
caro-, over his recent illness, scored
his twenty-first victory of the meet
ing on the bay charger. putting him
one ahead of Apprentice Flinchum
for the riding leadership here.
Showing his vaunted early speed,
Charlieinfeld quickly opened up a
lead of two or three lengths, fol-
lowed by Prompt Pay, Connaught
and Sundodger, heads apart. Red
Dock was several lengths behind in
fifth place.
Prompt Pay Quits Early.
Prompt Pay was through before
the end of a half mile, while Con-
naught made little progress trying
to catch the leader. Red Dock did
not loom as a menace until after
the field Strengthened for home.
Charlieinfeld finally weakened as
expected and Red Dock, under one
of Arcaros characteristic strong f1n-
ishes, wore him down in the last
few strides. Jessie Gladys, only in
eligible for the Flamingo In the field,
came from far back to head Sun
dodger.
