CHANTILLY IS
NEW RACE STAR
BEATS HIGH CLASS FIELD BY
1 FIFTEEN LENGTHS
Colt Romps Under Wire First In Near
to Record Time— Schrleber
Entry Is I— 2 In ths
Steeplechase
By Jay Davldton
Chantllly was the star performer at
Ascot yesterday and the ease with
which he defeated a good field, In
cluding Prince Hllverwlngs, Roycroft
and other high-class performers, places
him In a class with the best sprinters
at tho course. ?. :i
Off to a good Btnrt. Chantllly rushed
to the front, without delay and Just
kept on rushing, regardless of the fact
that tho field was fading away In the
dim distance, twenty lengths behind.
A mere feather, B.S pounds, was on
his back and that feather was Miller,
the cruck pilot, which made the feath
er all tho lighter.
• Chnntllly has never earned the rep
utation of being a quitter at any
stage of the game and when he opened
up a gap of ten lengths in the back
stretch, those who had supported
Prince Silverwlngs tore up . their
tickets.
Despite the high-class of the field
us a whole and the great record of
Prince Sllvcrwings In the east, Chan
tllly opened and closed as the favorite,
although the Durnell entry was heav
ily backed to win.
I Prince Silverwings rushed Into the
contender's position at the quarter and
held It until within thirty yards of the
wire, when something unusual hap
pened, which no one has yet satisfac
torily explained.
At this juncture, Prince Silverwlngs
stopped us if shot and although seem
ingly unnble to lose the place, finished
fourth, lioycroft and Parvo passing
him.
This action of Prince Silverwlngs ex
cited much comment not only among
the horsemen but among the specta
tors. It was so bad that had the
Prince's sire. The Commoner, one of
the highest class thoroughbreds that
'ever graced the turf, witnessed the
performance, he would have rolled over
and expired.
1 Spectators believed a foul had been
committed, but no horse was close
enough for this to occur and no claim
of foul was filed by Jockey Wiley.
Roycroft ran an Improved race and.
after Prince Sllverwings blew up, ran
Into second position with Parvo a nose
behind.
Steeplechase Accidents
The steeplechase race furnished the
usual number of accidents, although
all the jumpers fenced cleanly. Flea
ran neck and neck with Killdoe until
approaching the fourth jump, when
he bolted and ran out of the course.
■ Jockey Sullivan turned Flea's nose
back to the Jump after the field was
fleeing far. far away and determined
ly, forced the Gilbert gelding to finish
the jumps.
' Killdoe led the procession after Flea
bolted and romped home fifteen lengths
to the good. Adams, coupled with Kill
doe as the Schreiber entry, ' was an
easy second until over the last Jump,
when- Atlan.tico closed on him and
Jumped into a hole, falling and throw
ing Jockey Monahan violently to the
ground. .
Monahan lay upon the ground in a
semi-conscious condition until picked
up and taken to the jockeys' room for
attention, but soon revived and, be
yond a few bruises and a severe jolt
ing, was none the worse for his expe
rience, although Atlantico jumped over
him In arising, barely missing the pros
trate jockey.
After the fall Adams ran into second
place by a margin of eight lengths.
Marylander. the only other of the five
entries to finish in the run home, was
third by sufferance.
Hoodwink Wins
There were too many good things in
second race and only one could score.
Hoodwink, a rank outsider -in the
"market," ran one of her good- races
nnd sent a long line of pikers to the
cashiers' offices.
Hoodwink has a habit of running
like a crippled cow except once In
awhile, and yesterday was one of those
occasions "except." ■-< ■■
Powell rated her alang with the first
three until well Into the stretch, when
he sent the Watercress mare after the
money.
With a burst of speed that would
have made Handzarra dizzy, she gal
loped by Dixelie, Freeslas and Hersaln
us if they were tied and won going
away.
Dixelie was overdue and Miller took
splendid care of the Williams entry,
keeping her on the run all the time
and gradually mowing down the field
until, when entering the stretch, she
poked her nose in front and looked all
over tho winner.
With a length to the good Dixelie sat
down to hold the lead, but when Hood
wink challenged she could not stall
her off. Dixelie was best of the others,
however, and landed in second place.
Freeslas, also slightingly considered
by the piking- element, ran consistently
and secured the peep end of the purse
by two lengths from llersain, which
quit like a beaten cur in the stretch.
Confessor Breezes
There was nothing to the fourth race
but Confessor,' J. L. Holland's high
class and consistent colt. He Btood out
among his Held like ham and eggs'be
fore a. hungry tramp.
The public was prohibited the pleas
ure of backing him to win, however,
as the bookies, who have been running
short of change in the last few days,
refuned to lay better than 2 to 5.
Miller piloted the colt out In front
at the start and allowed him to breeze
nil the way, winning eased up by three
length*.
Kthylene, which is only a remnant of
her former self, secured second placo
hy maintaining her sizzling tipped until
Dutiful tired.
Dutiful was third, nfter getting away
In front iind delighting that clement
which Ik always down on a 100-to-l
shot. Dutiful opened at 20s and toured
to the century mark with oidy a Htrag-
Kllng play.

rflecs and landed eecond, three lengths
behind the winner.
Brigand was third and ran on« of
the b«st races of hid career, although
beaten In klow time. "Piiddln" Me-
Daniel had the mount and to hl« stren
uous efforts Brigand got the peep end
of the purae.
Thin wag a selling rnce nntl Varie
ties was entered to bo sold for $800.
IF. L>. Jones took a fancy to him nnd
bid him tip to $1300, getting the Ma
setto gelding knocked oft to him.
William Walker, who lian lost sev
eral good homes In selling wars, re
fused to bid the extra $5 necessary
to keep Varieties and Jones put the
hnlter on nnd sent him to his barn.
In retaliation Walker, who lias lost
two fair Pinters In sixteen days, claimed
T'.llMful from 1,. A. Honsnck. The Uon
s.-^rk mare was entered at $500 and Is
nblo to take Varieties' measure at any
limn regardless of Incrtnslstcncy.
Walker tins lost Hot mid Varieties
since opening day nnd his Jockey, J.
Harris, has been tho source of com
plaint. Walker Is sore and he has nome
excuse. ]f this selling war proceeda
much further he may be a star actor.
Tho final race was a left-handed
compliment to tho talent In mnny
V'ays. There were eleven starters and
seven good things, clydeo, owned by
ft. ,F. Long, won short on oats and ran
a.T If his life was dependent.
Needful was the hottest tip of the
«uson nnd money rolled Into the books
on this one In sums varying from tho
two-bit field book to the Steve l'Hom
medleu baiiK roll, but Needful was full
of need mid could not turn the trick.
Clydeo made every post a. winning
one and won eased up. St. Wlnlfredo
ran her head off trying to catch him,
but failed and landed In second place
four lengths In front of Kinsman.
Elfin King wns played almost off the
boards, but finished a bang-up sixth.
Handicap Is Feature
The feature of the card today Is the
$500 handicap for two-year-olds and
upward, which will bring together
Eugenia Burch, Druid, Hans Wagner,
Jake Sanders and El Otroa.
El Otros Bhould stay In tho stable,
ns he will earn no oats here today.
Juke Sanders will perform likewise.
The race in between Eugenia Burch,
Druid and Hans Wagner and these
three will be In the money, which pre
cludes any chances of the others.
Eugenia Burch Is the class of the
race. She is a thoroughbred in all
respects and is nbout up to a gruelling
race, which means that she can go a
mile In 1:39 on this track, which is
about one full second faster than any
thing else In tho race can travel on a
pasteboard track.
There la not ten pounds difference
between Hans Wagner and Druid, and
as Druid has run a mile in 1:40. which
is the season's record for this distance,
sire should be second, with Hans Wag
ner immediately behind him.
Wagner Is a consistent performer ard
can run a mile In slightly less than 1:40,
regardless of weight. Show money to
day will be a gift if it Is posted on
this one, but it won't.
Bavarian May Win
The fifth race will attract nearly as
much attention as the handicap. With
McGrathlana Prince, The Gadfly, Bav
arian, DeKaber and Orchan in a small
field, there will be some tall scrambling.
All these are capable of running a
mile In 1 :41 or thereabouts, and as Bav
arian has only 89 pounds on, he should
cop. r'
McGrathlana Prince and The Gadfly
will be whiskers apart at the finish
and if Bavarian does not get the money
these two will fight it out.
McGrathiana Prince belongs to Henry
McDaniels and will be ridden by Miller.
This Is an awful combination, coupled
with the performing qualities of the
runner. .
' It appears to be probable that Bav
arian will win, with McGrathlana
Prince second and The Gadfly third.
However, this race will be such a
grand contest that the best way to
beat it is to sit in the grandstand and
stare. .•,.•.
The opening race will bring together
a large bunch of two-year-old fillips
which have not won two races this
year.
Of this bunch Myrtie D has the age
and should win without much trouble.
Heartful is the next best and on Myr
tle's race against Lacene a few days
ago. Myrtle should do business.
Heartful looks good for the place
and Astraea has been knocking for
admission into the bracket circle for
so long that she should get the show
end of the purse with slight exertion.
The second race brings together an
ordinary field of performers and of
the eight entries Fortunatus holds a
big edge and should win all the. way.
Luckett, the black boy of which
Joseph James is so proud, will be the
contender without an accident and
should hold this position safe from the
others.
Bill Curtis was once a stake horse,
but has gone back, and the best he can
do today is to run in the money. Hi
should show.
Secret Has Chance
The third race will become famous
for the fact that Secret, which ha&
sought brackets so long and so vainly,
will have more than an even chance
to accomplish his designs.
Creston Boy will have Kunz up and
will be a hard one to beat, but the
place will be about the best he can
do. He Is a better consideration for
this position than Is Secret to win.
Henchman has speed and staying'
qualities and is a colt of some class.
With the prospects of oats he shoud
experience but slight difficulty In roll
ing into third position.
The- final race of the day is a selling
affair over the Futurity course.
Nothing less than three-year-olds are
eligible and there are some In the en
try list that will never see thirty again.
Money Muss is the class of the race
but 129 pounds is a big package for this
one. Count him out.
Sun Mark is speedy, and will be first
awuy from the post. With only 114
pounds up, which is the minimum
weight in this nice, Sun Mark seems
to be In a soft spot und bhould romp
from the flag to the wire.
Montreson is one she must beat.
Montreson will be thereabouts for the
entire route and will be I—2. Hilona
wllY also be a valuable consideration
und cannot be worse than third.
Uooduink's victory yesterday was—
oh, well.
The trark* was about one second
slow yesterday.
Out of five mountH yesterday Miller
rede two winners, one second and was
unplaced twice.
Tho attendance average is increasing
nnd for several days has varied be
tweeu 3000 and 4000.
C, Grand made lilh season's debut
at Ascot yesterday with two mounts
Ml Uelnu nud Kthylene. His excellent
ride on the latter placed her in the
race against Confessor.
"Puddln" Mr-Donald Ih one of the
hnsklPht llnlHhera In the business. His
rldo on Brigand yesterday sent the Oil-
Vfr gelding into the money when Mil
ler was using all his craftsmanship to
put rotrero Orande In the same posl
tlon.

for the flat runners. His previous out
to yesterday almost resulted seriously
for him, as his mount, Mlndora, fell
and threw him violently to the ground.
Flea tired of trying to win a jumping
race and when he approached the
fourth jump yesterday he bolted and
ran outside the course. Jockey Sulli
van turned him back and after much
urging sent him over the Jump and
finished the race, but barely made It to
the wire within the time limit. At the
time when Flea bolted he was running
on even terms with Killdoe out In
front.
Jockey Monahan, who was thrown
Violently to the ground when Atlan
tlco stumbled at the finish of the
steeplechase rnce yesterday, was not
injured beyond slight bruises' and a
general shaking up. He. was stunned
for several minutes and was conveyed
to the jockeys' room for attention, but
recovered In a few minutes and was
able to walk about the paddock.' I The
audience In the grand stand was hor
rified by the spectacle of horse and boy
in the accident, and it appeared as if
Atlantlco stepped upon Monahan, but
the horse shied out of- the way us It
recovered its feet and did not harm
the Jockey.
The manner in which Chantllly
spreadeagled his field in the third race
gave the race-going public a new idea
as to the running qualities of the Clurk
colt. Off to a good start, Chantllly
opened up a big gap and increased it
with every stride, cantering home a
dozen lengths ahead of the field In the
font time of 1:2614 for the. seven fur
longs. Chantllly ! carried only 8»
pounds, which' represented the weight
of little W. Miller, who rode him,
Cutter and Skeptic, two speedy ones,
were scratched out of this race, their
owners probably not caring to chase
their homes to death after tho Hashing
son of Salvation.
The reported InmencsH of Handzarra,
F. B. Van Meter's speed marvel,
which Is the Lok Angeles contribution
to the three-cornered race for the
coast sprinting championship next Sat
urday, has given rise to a renewal of
the popular demand for the addition
of J. A. Wernberg'g big colt. Big Ben,
to the list of starters, and Manager
Brooks *iild yesterday that If Hand
zurra was unablo to go to the post
In this event It Is probable that Big
Ben will be substituted. Van Meter Is
encouraged in the belief that Hand

The special $2500 match race arranged between Bearcatcher,
Cruzados and Handzarra will attract as much Interest In
Frisco and Oakland as In Los Angeles, becausa of the per
formances of the northern horses at the up-coast tracks. On
his recent performance against Cruzados Bearcatcher will
probably be favorite, but when he has trotted the six furlongs
he will know that Handzarra was there all the way. The
race will be witnessed by thousands and will be the turf event
of the season.
tions have been made. The distance
will be one and one-sixteenth miles.
Among those nominated are Hans
Wagner, Memories, The Lady Hohe
sla, Druid, Massa, Israelite, Confessor,
Rubric, Lord Badge, Workman . and
Reservation. The- stake will be worth
about $2250 gross. These two extraor
dinary events are expected to attract
the largest number of spectators ever
in attendance at the races in Los An
geles and preparations are being made
for handling this record-breaking
crowd.
There are occasional evidences of a
brewing selling race war at Ascot, ana
since opening day there have been
live "boosts" and claims filed by horse
men. "Boots" Durnell began the
trouble by "boosting" Vino, the prop
erty of J. A. Wernberg and trained by
J. J. McCafferty. The latter was once
on terms of friendship with Durnell,
but trouble arose between them ■ and
a war to the knife has resulted. From
this beginning four others have re
sulted. Hot was taken from William
Wulker by J. Wolf; Retropaw was
claimed from J. Curl by H. B. Witten
berg; Graceful ran second to Revolt
last Friday and two claims were Hied
for the illly, William Walker and E.
Brewßter being the rival claimants;
the final net In this connection was the
"boosting" of Varieties, belonging to
William Walker, by H. L. Jones after
Varieties won the fifth race. Jones
bid Varieties up to $1300 from $800, the
entered price, and got the speedy geld
ing. The claims filed for Graceful were
taken under advisement by the judge*
nnd they rendered a decision disallow
ing either claim, .as neither Walker
nor Brewnter . had complied with the
ruleH governing . claims. Whether
horsemen and spectators are to be
treated to the Incidents of a genuine
selling war this season is not known,
but the appearances at this curly day
are favorable.

ACTOR PLEADS
FOR FOOTBALL
WOULD NOT KILL GAME TO
REFORM IT
Frederick Truesdell of "The College
Widow" Suggests Elimination of
Rowdy Players at Solution
of Vexations Problem
the element of danger from
football and you destroy all interest
In the game." This Is the radical con
tribution of Frederick Truesdell to the
wide discussion regarding the future of
the gridiron. As Truesdell is both a
graduate of Talo, where he was promi
nently concerned In the Bnme, and Is
also the original hero of the mimic
struggle which has made Ade's com
edy, "Tho. College Widow," famous,
his utterances on the subject become
of Interest. This Is especially true be
cause Truesdell has some very sane
and logical Ideas on the subject.
"If It is determined to have football
played under rules that govern parlor
croquet or 'drop the handkerchief' and
kindred amusements, its vogue will die
a speedy death," continues Mr. Trues
dell. ."Mind you, I am not excusing
rowdy methods; I simply wish to em
phasize my belief that the advocates
of a change are looking to the wrong
remedy.
"Killing the patient, of course, de
stroys the disease, but it Is not con
sidered the best thing in medical Juris
prudence. Killing the game will re
move present objections to It, but lov
ers of It can scarcely look compla«
cently on while the slaughter pro
gresses.
"Football Is a man's game and should
be played only by the physically fit.
A largo number of the accidents that
have stirred up this discussion have
occurred among tender boys.
"Parents can control this feature by
seeing to it that their Inexperienced
boys seek milder exercise. Accidents
among men playing the game are In
most instances the result of foul play.
But, because a man walking the
streets at night is likely to be struck
over the head with a club, shall we go
so far as to enact laws to prevent his
walking the streets at night?
"No, the remedy lies in another di
rection. Eliminate the rowdy player.
Bar him forever from tho game and
dismiss him from school the moment
he is caught offending. That is the
way to purify football and still pre
serve its attraction as a contest of
strength and skill."

BACKS FITZ TO MEET O'BRIEN
Millionaire Changes Odda of 10 to 7,
Against Ruby Robert to 10 to 9
In His Favor
Bpcclal to The Herald.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 18.-A most
pronounced switch occurred in regard
to the O'Brlen-Fltzsimmons match last
night.
Early In the evening O'Brien was
favorite at 10 to 7. Then money started
to come in. Thero was apparently lots
of O'Brien money to cover that which
appeared on Fitzslmmons.
Then Fulton O. Berry, a millionaire
from the raisin belt, happended along
with $3000. He grot $2000 to $1800.
' This betting established Fltzßlmmons,
the nged gladiator, as favorite. The
fact that $3000 was sufficient to so rad
ically change tho complexion of the
betting shows that fight fans do not
appreciate' the work that O'Brien has
done here.
A week ngo it wns argued that FUk
simmons would go Into the ring favor
ite because of his old-time punch. He
would not have been so had not Berry
come through with money to over
balance the gambling.
Fltzsimmons and O'Brien were both
around town tonight and each has
abundant confidence. "Wo will win
and win easily," was the statement
made by Manager Friedman on behalf
of Fltz. "There Is no chance In the
world that I will lose," said Jack
O'Brien.
PERFORMANCE INCONSISTENT
Prince Silverwings' and Golden Rule's
Races Excite Adverse Comment
From Racegoers
The race of Prince Silverwlngs yes
terday at Ascot was so insufferably bad
that the grand stand crowds could not
restrain Its disapproval, which was ex
pressed in groans.
Never in the history of racing at
Ascot park has any horse of the class
of Prince Silverwings approached po
near the wire with the two lengths ad
vantage he had and run out of the
money.
Prince Silverwings was a second
choice and on form should have dis
tanced his field. Steadily his price In
the books advanced from 2s to 8s and
the faith of the public was not shaken.
From a good start the Durnell racer
forged into second position upon en
tering the stretch and held this advan
tage by two lengths until within a
few yards of the finish.
. Suddenly, as if shot or knocked In
the head, the great horse pulled up,
stopped to nothing, finishing a poor
fourth, losing fully ten lengths In i-ela
tlve position in the flash of an eye.
This In and out running of horses
of the class of Prince Silverwlngs and
Golden Rule has excited adverse crit
icism of the sport at Ascot and brings
reproach upon the game that has oth
erwise been untainted thus far this
season.
Exclamations from those interested
expressed the belief that Prince Sil
verwings had been fouled, but the fact
that no horse was near enough to foul
him, Chantllly being fifteen lengths In
front and Parvo two lengths behind,
dispelled this fear.
It was expected that. if a foul had
been committed Jockey Wiley would
have made a claim upon returning: to
the stand, but no such claim 'was
filed with the Judges.
In-and-out running of horses Is ex
cusable under some conditions, when
the racer has shown no form of more
than ordinary caliber, but when horses
of high class perform somersaults with
the case and regularity that Prince
Silverwings and Golden Rule have
shown, the public is not alone In de
manding an inquiry.
