The Talent Does Well When
Two favorites Land the Money
Ellis Glenn and Auriffera as First
Choices Keward Their Backers—
Sisquoc, a Bank Outsider at 15
to 1, Easily Beats Out
Amasa. The Card for
Toap.y. ~
Comparing yesterday's results at the
race track with those of previous days
of the present meet, the talent had a
great day. It was great in the respect
that the pickers selected two horses, to
carry the money, which really landed it.
That was doing pretty well with a lot
of dogs, particularly in view of the fact
that it has been no common thing to
see every favorite of a card bowled over.
Yesterday was an exception and as two
favorites showed in front the plungers
and pikers got a little money for a little
while. It was hard picking in the other
events however and it would appear
that the talent broke to the bad on the
day.
There were two or three features of
the day. one of which was given in yes
terday's report. That was the question
able driving in the trotting event.
Whether it was on the level or not, it
attracted the attention of the judges and
Kennedy was called into the stand and
told a thing or two. Another feature
was the win of Yellowstone with Gouin
up from Innoceulia in the third race.
It was a hard drive to the wire and
found Abercrombie's horse just a nose
In front. Many thought the race a dead
heat but the judges who are better able
to see a finish thought different.
From the standpoint of the talent
the principal feature of the day came
in the fourth race. That event saw
Amasa, a well played, even money fa
vorite, beaten handily by Sisquoc, a rank
outsider, against whom the books laid
15 to 1. Amasa got the place and
Blanche Shepard at 2 tto 1 finished third.
The second race found Charley Lamar

has made thus far and are as full of
hope aand courage as ever. They feel
that their craft has had an unusual
run of hard luck in finding all the bad
spots possible in the two races in which
she has sailed. They know that the
boat has sailed fast in a good breeze
and they believe that she will yet sur
prise those who have condemned her
as a hopeless candidate for the cup
honors.
Today's race, the third of the New

will be 15 miles to windward and return
if the breeze will allow.

Behind the Motor in 1:37 2-5—Con
ditions Unfavorable for Record
Breaking—Hofman Beaten by
Two Butte Amateurs—Motor
Tandem Race Tonight.
The sport at the saucer last night was
easily the best furnished at the big
board track since it opened. The crowd
enjoyed it too and the best evidence of
that was the enthusiasm displayed.
There were many thrilling finishes, par
ticular among them being two dead
heats and there was Artie Bell's at
tempt to lower Iver Lawson's time for
five miles and an individual mile.
The attempt failed through no fault of
Bell's, as conditions were decidedly
against him. The track was damp and
the atmosphere so humid that the deli
cate mechanism of the motor tandem was
effected and could not be operated as
well as would have been the case had
conditions been different. John Nelson
who handled the motor did all in hi3
power to combat the bucking of the ma
chine but was unequal to it. His efforts
were not appreciated by the spectators,
as few except those who thoroughly un
derstand can detect a fault with* the
machine unless it is particularly appar
ent.
Despite the disadvantage under Which
he labored Bell made good time and
came within one three-fifths sec
onds of Lawson's best mile. Lawson's
time was 1:36 and that of Bell* W2(s
1:37 3-5. His time for the five miles was
9:21 2-5.
The dead heats were in the trials for
the one-third mile professional handicap.
The first heat found Burris and Walne
so close to the tape that the judges could
not determine the winner. Bell was but

declared a dead heat. Green was beaten
l.y a short length. The race finally went
to Lawson with Bell second and Burris
third. The time was 39 2-5.

cap was too severe for the plucky Cali
fornian.

points and Burris 26 points. The time

(By Associated Press.)
New York. July 10.-Gus Ruhlii»*and
Bob Fitzsimmons in a Graeco-Roman
wrestling bout attracted 2,500 people
at Madison Square Garden last night.
Ruhlin was both clecerer and heavier
than the Cornlshman and won two
fails» In succession with a quarter of
an hour's rest between them.
In the boxes around the wrestling
platform was a gathering of men whoso
faces were always a familiar sight at
the ringside when boxing was in vogue
in this city. Several noted characters
were in evidence, among them being Tom
Sharkey, who has taken to the wrestling
game recently, and Terfy McGovern, who
acted as timekeeper. Charley White wa»
referee.
There were three preliminary bouts
between lesser lights before Fitzsim
mons and Ruhlin made their appear
ance. When Fits jumped on the plat
form the crowd cheered. Ruhlin fol
lowed him and also got a warm wel
come. His weight was announced at
195 pounds and Fit* was said to weigh
only 160.
When they faced each other ths
spectators cheered as Fltz, in trying for
a hold, swung his right as if he wera
going to fight. He repeated these tac
tics a couple of times, to the intense
amusement of the onlookers.
Ruhlin dropped and remained on the
defensive three times and twisted quick
ly, the third time getting Fits under
neath for a rolling fall. They got up
again and Fltz ducked with his old-time
cleverness when Ruhlln's big arm tried
to encircle his man and the movement
made many remember the last meeting
between the two big fellows.
With Ruhlin again on tbe defensive,
Fitz got a strangle hold, but only for
a few seconds, as Ruhlin broke It
cleverly. Fitz got a body hold and
brought Ruhlin to the mat. Ruhlin got
on top and secured a half-Nelson and
a body hold. Ruhlin then had Fitz in
a bad place and finally threw him. First
fail for Ruhlin. Time, 14 minutes and
34 seconds.
A breathing spell for 15 minutes was
then allowed. When they came to
gether again they sparred as if for
an opening at the old game and oc
casionally slapped each other on the
neck and shoulders. After five minutes
of this kind of work Fitz got a back
body hold and put Gua to the mat, but
only for a moment. He repeated this
twice over and secured a strangle hold
which Ruhlin broke easily.
Ruhlin was too heavy for Bob. who
essayed a back hammer hold, but was
unsuccessful, and they got to their
feet again. Fitz, with a body hold
from the back, gave Ruhlin a flying fall
and Gus knelt on the mat In defense.
Fitzsimmons secured a neck hold and
a quarter hold, but both rolled over
and nothing came of it and they got
up once more to their feet. Bob then
got a throttle hold on Ruhlin and tried
to pull him over, but Ruhlin stood clos*
and fell on Fltz and with a combina
tion lock pinned Bob's shoulders to the
mat, gaining the second fall and th*
match. Time, 12 minutes, 37 seconds.
