JIM COFFROTH IS HOT ON THE TRAIL OF WILLIE RITCHIE
PROMOTER WANTS HIM
TO BOX MURPHY HERE; |
THOMAS IS WILLING
Champion Will Not Boost
His Standing by Turn
ing Down v Offer
JOE MURPHY
Promoter Jim Coffroth is now on
Willie Ritchie's track. 'The local pro
moter is seeking to match: Ritchie ; and
Harlem' Tommy Murphy, a match
which the fans are anxious to see
made.. I. /■ .- ; '■' : '■■."' ■ - ' ■
Ritchie is now in Bozeman. Mont.,
and, according to dispatches from that
city, he is anxious to meet Murphy if
proper inducements are offered him.
The champion is expected to defend
title soon, and there is no place
*here he could make more money de
fending it than right here.
Coffroth has already wired Ritchie
and is expecting to receive a reply at a
near date. He stands ready to make a
substantial offer for a bout between I
Ritchie and Murphy, and is sanguine
that he will land the pair. I
MURPHY PI.AYS FAIR
As .far as Murphy is concerned Cof
froth will have no trouble getting him.
as the New Yorker has been s fair In
his demands. In fact, there are very
few boxers and managers in the game
who have shown as much sportsman
ship in their, conduct as Murphy and
Jim Buckley, and they are prime fa
vorites with the followers of the game
In California. .
Right now Murphy Is a great card
here. He is greater than because
of the gameness and fairness which he
has dlplayed in the ring. The fans' of
this section have proclaimed him the
legitimate challenger, and if Ritchie
passes him up he is not adding any
thing: to his popularity. Murphy, by
dint of hard work in the face of ad
verse conditions, has forged his way
to the front and there is not a light
weight In the ring today who has won
his standing by any more honest .or
conscientious means. .;.,- ;" ' '' ,
The New Yorker's battles have been
hard ones. Most of them have been
'ought in this city.. or vicinity and they
have been over the. 20 round grind. He
has traveled across the continent many
times to engage in fights here.
V-.' ■ - * :■■;.*";:'> # --.:.■. j ..- ■''
Promoter Coffroth says he will do his
best to land RTlchie. but if he fails he
will go . after another match which
would please the public as much. He
will try to match the winner of the
-hot Smith-Jess'Wlllard bout with
Luther McCarty for July 4. , . t
There is an excellent chance for Cof
frOth to get this card. .McCarty will
probably be ready % for a big fight by
♦ July 4 and both Willard and Smith are
anxious to meet him. . . . ■ r
* * * :- ■-".-
Tom Jones and Jess Willard plan to
leave today for Harbin Springs, where
they will spend some time before
Willard starts training for his match
with Smith. Willard- is recovering
from the operation performed on his
nose. He has been doing pome light
boxing. Wolgast will join the party
at Harbin Springs in a. few days.
* * *
Dan Morgan, manager of Knockout
Brown and Jack Britton, was around
town yesterday afternoon telling the
scribes and fans that Britton would be
Wolgast's opponent at Oakland on May
- 2i.' As.lt was the writer's first meeting
- with Mr. Morgan, he took it for granted
that Mr. Morgan knew of what he was
king. . "V , I *
This opinion of Mr. Morgan proved
erroneous, as the writer met Tom Jones
later on in the afternoon and tried to
buzz him about the coming TVolgast-
Rritton match, which ; Jones proved ig
norance of. ' "-'-:■-: ':'
"I am still Wolgast's manager, and I
3on't know anything about his fight
ing Britton at Oakland. r Morgan
knows more than I. do. ' I. have been
made an offer by the Wheelmen's club
to box, either- Joe AzaveSa or Frankie
Burns' V six 'round,' no decision bout.
Under no consideration would I think
Df boxing Britton under those terms."
Mr. Morgan, what do you smoke?

Harlem Tommy Murphy will leave for
his home in New York today to meet
his wife* and , new born baby girl. J The
latest member of the Murphy family
-' arrived in the Murphy household while
the boss was away. " , *
Murphy is thinking, of moving out
here. The climate agrees with him and
he will save a lot of railroad expense

THE 1 SAN : FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY. APRIL 22, 1913.
BIG HARNESS REVIVAL
EVIDENT ALL THROUGH,
STATE OF CALIFORNIA
One of Greatest Boosts Is
Considine Stock Farm
at Woodland
■•- ' •:'.'.' ■:•*.£'}"'■• ■.. ','■'■■-" ":-'■"
Year after year since the Rosemeade
stock farm, owjied by the late ■ L.. J.
Rose of Los An poles, and the Palo Alto
stock farm, ov.ned by the late 3Senator
Leland Stanford, at Palo Alto, 1 passed
out of existence there has been a suc
cession of : retirements ', from the busi
ness of breeding and developing light
harness horses,: and dispersal sales of
trotters ... and « pacers - have -: been - held
belonging to such famous breeders as
William Corbitt. J. B.Haggin.D.E.
Knight, *■ A. T. Hatch, W. B. Hobart.
Irvine Ayres. H. & W. Pierce, Dr. Guy
E. Grosse, T. de Turk. John MeOord,

G. Valensin, Monroe Salisbury, Oak
wood Park stock farm, Harry I. Thorn
ton. A. B. Spreckels, J. McCord, Allen
May hew,- Gilbert Tompkins, R. Fox. F.
11. Burke and scores 3of . others whose
operations were on a smaller scale, "''■■:■.■[.
There s were ; many causes for ■■-, this.
These men started when the trotting
horse boom in values was at Its highest
and when district fairs ; . throughout
California • received {' state aid in ';' the
way of I annual appropriations. It was
also at a j time when auction and parl
mutuels were v allowable. Consequently
the attendance and : the public ■ interest
in trotting and pacing.faces were kept
at fever heat from July 30 to November
1 of each year. ; ;
TROTTING HORSE REVIVAL
But a : change took place which
founded the - deathknell .of ; the nport.
One of our governors, James Budd,
vetoed the bill granting: appropriations
for district fairs. Without this it be
came very difficult to hold even seven
fairs or 'race meetings In < this state
outside of the state fair at Sacramento.
Then , book making was introduced
and -a/boom in thoroughbred racing
foil-owed which*- ran its full and un
checked course. Then our legislators,
taking cognizance of the ''crooked"
work . being done at the racetracks: and
tire widespread influence of the evils of
betting on racing of all kinds,-passed
stringentT-> laws , H which '.* completely
stopped this sport and completed the
work of exterminating r stock farms,
which was started by Governor Budd.
But a revival in the interest in j trot
ting horses is apparent throughout Cal
ifornia. ■"':-. Many men of wealth and in
fluence have within the last five years
engaged in the business of : breeding
and developing light . harness horses,
and ; achieved marked success with
them. "Such millionaires as C. A. Can
field, "William A. Clark Jr. and Clar
ence Berry of ■ J-os Angeles; W. C. Whit
tier of Los Angeles, whose stock' farm
at Hemet, under the superintendence* of
Budd r Doble, the foremost , driver of
champions ;*in\ the world; R-J.Mac-
Kenzie,. who recently purchased .: the
historic track at Pleasanton. and J. W.
' Consldirie" of Seattle, who bought and
stocked the Woodland stock farm at
Woodland with ;; the choicest stallions
and mares money/could buy. * ■>-.-.:
BIG ORKGOX STOCK FARM
In Oregon Captain McCan is • spend
ing some $150,000 on a stock farm at
Forest 53rove and placed at the he.ad of
his selected barrd of brood mares the
great i stallion The Bondsman, sire of
Colorado E, 2:04 V the fastest trotter
of his age in the world. :
jS Outside of the Hemet stock farm
(which has taken the place of "Rose
meade" in the south) the Woodland
stock farm is entitled to be called" the
"little Palo Alto of the north," for on
it are assembled the cream of the best
trotting families -skimmed from the
choicest equine productions of Ken
tucky, Tennessee, >New York and \ Cali
fornia. The improvements made on
this farm since its purchase last De
: cember, ; show that its owner is deter-
I mined to make this a show place, -a.
: Mecca, as it were, for all visiting
horsemen and --.their- friends to come
[ and be shown some of r the speediest
I trotters and pacers that were ever
handled. ;He visited the midwinter
! sale last January and purchased $10,
--; 000 worth of ■• the choicest bred -mares
and was only outbid on some ! that he
selected by C. K. G. Billings, owner of
I Uhlan, 1:M, Lou Dillon. 1:65%, etc.
; This gentleman has also embarked in
(he breed in- f of fast trotters, J and: his
example is being .followed recently <■ by
some of the most prominent -capitalists
in the United States, for they have the
assurance of always finding a lucrative
market for all \ they breed and raise,
not only in the United States- but in
Canada and Europe:. • J' / ■ ;
COXSIDIXE'S STALUOXS *
Mr. ("oripidine has four of the best

Amendment to Ordinance Is
Defeated Despite Gal
Ewing's Efforts
■ ...... . .■■
By a tie. vote : of *S- to 8: the arr.enu
mont 'to the "hospital zone of silence"
ordinance was defeated at the session
of the supervisors yesterday, thus strik
ing a blow at Cal^Ewing's , hopes of
establishing .a", baseball . park at Mis
sion and Valencia streets across the
street from St. Luke's hospital. •
V As it stands, -tßie ordinance prohibits
loud and unusual noises within a block
of a hospital. The baseball advocates
wished this amended by the insertion
of S the ; words "in and . along a public
street."-' , ' ; ■ . ~' . v." V-
Speaking for St. Luke's hospital, At
torney Wright declared that "baseball
under the windows of a hospital is not
in S place." Attorney Mountford "Wil
son, for the baseball association, re
plied that the hospital was sound proof,
that the patients were principally on
the San Jose avenue side, and that the
average actual j cheering ' during a game
does not aggregate more than seven
minutes. Attorney Sidney Van "Wyck
and Doctor Caglierl,;:■ a member of the
supervisors' police committee, spoke
against 1 the amendment, as did Rev.
Frederick W. Clampett, rector of the
Trinity i Episcopal j church.
