Only Two Favorites Reward Their
Backers, While 25 to 1 Horses
Grab Long Ends of
Purses
a largo crowd attended the races nt
Ascot yesterday. The sport was tame,
as In most of the events the hors.'s
•were of poor caliber and there were no
exciting finishes. The public got a
drubbing, as only two favorites won.
Creeton, the 3 to 6 favorite In the
first race, rewarded his backers by
taking the lead and winning easily all
the way. Kismet Jr. was second all
the way. Albion H. was third until
the last few Jumps, where Karodo, a4O
to 1 shot, nipped her out for the short
«-nd of the purse. Banonlca wheeled as
the barrier went up and destroyed
whatever chance Sa lover and Slater
had.
The public received a shock when E.
8.B B. H. (eight bales hay) won the sec
ond race at 25 to 1.
Ed Tracy was the favorite at 3to 2.
Joan of Arc was second choice at 3'/a
to 1, and Koyal Ascot was 7to 1. The
choices ran each other to pieces by
running head and head until the pad
dock gate, where E. B. H. came next
to the rail and won going away. Royal
Ascot, outrun early, finished like a
shot and got up in time to get the
place from Joan of Arc. Ed Tracy
stopped badly the final fifty yards.
Mirabel showed speed and bears watch
lng.
Taxer, the 2% to 1 favorite for the
third race, was always close to the
pace maker and when Buttons, which
was backed from 8 to 3 to 1, ran out
at the head of the stretch, he came
fast next to tho rail and won going
away. Kinsman, outrun early, finished
like a shot the last sixteenth, but could
not quite get up. Meddling Daisy was
best, as she was away none too well,
was bumped and interfered with sev
eral times and Hennessey was of no
help to her at the finish. She finished
on her own courage and got third
from Buttons, which finished by the
judges' stand and appeared to be third.
Ormonde's Right, the rogue, was
made the favorite for the fourth race
with Knapp in the saddle. Johnstown
was second choice at 3>4 to 1. Ktivhe
val receded from 2 to 4 to 1 and J. C.
Clem was always us pond as 7 to 1.
The latter Rot a flying start and made
every post a winning one and was rid
den out to stall off Kercheval and ' >r
irronde's Riq-ht. The latter would have
been second in another stride and seem •
<>rt to sulk all the way. Johnstown
waa away flat footed and was used
chaslns after the leaders.
Another Jolt for the Talent
The talent received another jolt when
Star of Runnymede, with McDaniel
riding, heat the sate by throe lengths,
which advantage she hold until the t1"-ish.t 1"
ish. She was quoted at 25 to 1 iti the
betting. Curriculum, played from 13
to 8 to 1. was second all the way, but
could not catch the Winer, Derdom
finished with a rush and was third.
Blue Bottle ran r disgraceful race.
Kirkfleld Belle hpd no 1 nance with her
rider. Elancer showed early Bpeed,
theni dropped back beaten.
Lizzie Albertlne got away well In the
sixth race and Preston sent her on
about her business, but at tin 1 paddock
went to the whip and rode her hard to
stall off Luckett's di termini •
'lenßo. Lllliam Ayrea wiv-t Becond until
the final twenty yards, where Luckett
outgamed her to the wire. Libertinus
ran his race. Lizzie was 10 to 1 In
the betting.
J. R. Walker, who trained for .1. J.
Walsh, leaves tonight for Germany,
where he will assist his brother, Geo.
Walker, in handling the Welnberg
brothers' horses. Pleasant voyage to
you, John.
Al Goodin bought Blue Bottle yester
day morning from J. Blute for $600.
Blute is going to sell his entire string,
whrlch consists of ten head, nnd will
hereafter devote all his time to train-

Today's Selections
Picking winners will )•>■ a hard task
in mosl "f the •v< nts on account <if
the large fields, and In some cases the
poor class of hi
The first race is a very open affair
and looks to be between Platoon; 1 la -
ruma, Money Muss anil Fustian. If
Platoon does not net crazy iit the post;
as he usually does, and gets away
well he may be returned the winner.
Daruma should ■■■■' well with ! 9 pounds
on her back and will give the top one a
stiff argument, Money Mush should
well, is a quick breaker and has ;i lot
of early speed, which should enable
him to got clear of any possible Inter
ference, and lie ay lii iih In th"
money. Fustian has mm excellent
chance, as he is rounding to form now.
Mintia should go well today.
A very bad lot are carded to start
in the second race. fin form and fig
ures should finish in this order: Juan
of Arc, Junia; Vlnorßlna;
Judge Nelson looks tin- bent In the
third race . nil beat Halton, the most
dangerous contender, before Ind should
repeat. Shu Alviso should bo an easy
third. The ether two have only nil
outside chance.
The fourth race 1= a very hard one
to select a winner for. Search Me, on
his last race, look to have a good
chance, ns In- Is a good weight carrier
and Is came. Bologna lias the early
foot of this bunch and may make a
runaway race of it. The Major will
probably run a Rood raci lifter his rest
and should be right there nt tho finish.
Susie Christian, l'hll Igoo and Marie
K . have an outside chance to be among
the first three.
Reno Rebel v 111 probably run an im
proved race this afternoon, as he ran
green his only out and should tui n
the tables on Adrian. Water Belle hi I
Lackfoot Should light 'i out for tho
Bhort end Of the purse.
The sixth race is an open affair, but
if the horses perform to figures should
come under the « Irn In his order: 111

SYCAMORE BOY IS STEADILY

Youngster from Illinois Bowls Over

Ambition to Be the
World's Best
Cyclone Thompson, the Sycamore, 111.,
lightweight, who has faced 165 men In
the ring and lias yet to t*«rtc tho count.
ls at last coming Into his own. For
several months the Cyclone has been
mowing down lightweights and welters
and Friday afternoon at Marysvllle, In
the presence of 4000 people, ha knocked
out in eleven rounds Rufe Turner, the
colored fighter, who stood Joe Cans off
for fifteen rounds.
San fPrancltco papers, in commenting
on the tight, say that Turner was right
there With his famous pile-driver
punches and thai he was able to land
on Thompson, but the only effect
noticeable was to make the eastern
boy fight the harder, It was freely
predicted before the contest that In
ense Turner was able to land he would
knock out his opponent, as lie had nl
ways done before when nble to con
nect.
Last April at New Orleans Thomp
son knocked out Otto Selloff In eight
rounds and (lans was only able to ne-
COmpHsh the same trick after nine
rounds of fighting.
Is a Fighting Machine
This shows, if anything does, thnt
Thompson is the man of all men who
has a chance to whip the great negrri
lightweight. Thompson doesn't know
what It Is to stop boring in nnd ho
fights every minute. In the only two
contests that he engaged In here ho
demonstrated that he was a fighter
pure and simple.
After rendering his strong right nrm
useless in the second round of a ten
round cont.st with Montana Kid, ho
poked away with his left hard enough
to save himself from defeat and earn
a draw decision. A few weeks later,
after being knocked down by as pal
pable a foul as was ever committed In
Los Angeles, while engaged in a twen
ty-round contest with Dick Hyland.
Thompson got up nt the count of nine.
and although doubled up with pain,
prevented his man from getting him,
nd In the succeeding rounds gave
Fighting nick all that was coming to
him nnd a little more.
In fact Hyland was driven to such
desperate straits that ho again lost
his head and struck Thompson after
the latter had slipped to the mat, there
by losing on a foul.
Cyclone Beats Piledriver
Later Thompson fought twenty
rounds with Hyland jtf Ogden, losing
the decision. Newspaper men at the
ringside, as well as hundreds of sports
hissed the verdict and declared that
Thompson had won, hands down, or
that the worst he should have had was
a draw.
A few weeks later Thompson knocked
out Lew Powell. Then he tackled the
hard-hitting Fred Ward. Ward got
his in six rounds. While the fight waa
grolng nt a rapid pace he reached out
his hand and told Thomnson thnt he
knew when he had enough. Ward was
one of the worst cut up men that ever
left the ring:. That same week, four
nights Inter. Thompson went into the
ring with Jack Clifford nt Jlnrysville.
Clifford was hailed as the man with
a pile-driver punch. His punch was in
evidence, too, but it only made the
Cyclone come in the harder and In the
fifth round Clifford was stretched out
for the count. Then Thompson went
to Ogden and knoek-d out Maurice
Thompson, giving away more thnn ten
pounds. Mnurlee was ready for the
hospital at the end of fifteen rounds.
Fighting Dick Next
Thompson's next opponent was Rufe
Turner, who was finished in eleven
rounds.
Dick Hyland will probably be next
on the list. Every effort has been made
to coax Red Sammy McCllntlck to
sign up and it is thought a contest will
be put on at San Francisco in March.
Thompson stands ready to hack him
self fo;- any amount within renson
against any lightweight in the world.
He believes that he can knock Hyland
out In ten rounds, or Jimmy Kritt or
Kid Herman in less. Hoth of these
men have sidestepped him on numerous
occasions and there niu.st certainly bo
a reason for it.
Sporting writers who have taken oc
casion to hold Thompson cheap and to
BUggesi now and then that he was not
a classy fighter should sit up and tako
notice. A boy who can mow them
down right and left, as Thompson has
done, who is ready and willing to meet
all comers, to stand in the middle of
the ring and give punch for punch,
and Is then a.ble to come out without ii
colored eye or bloody nose, must cer
tainly have class.
Ambition to Be Champion
If he didn't have class he wouldn't
be able to tight Dick Hyland twenty
rounds; he wouldn't be able tt < > get up
after being fouled and continue tho
fight; he wouldn't be able to knock out
such men as Lew Powell, one of the
fastest fighters of the Pacific coast, and
such hard-hitting hoys as Maurice
Thompson, Jack Clifford, Fred Ward,
I Mlo Selloff and dozens of others.
Referee Eddie Smith of Oakland said
after hist Friday's fight: "Thompson
is the only man in the world at his
weight who could have taken what he
did Friday in the fight with itufe-
Turner, unless it he Joe dans."
Smith is not Thompson's manager;
he is not boosting him at so much per
boost. He simply said what he con
sidered waa th.' truth. LOB Angeles
fans are anxious to si-.- the Cyclone
in action here and as Manager McCarey
has signified his Intel. t ion of offering
him a date, it i* Ukely a bout win t»
arranged With Jimmy Hums in- any
other good man thai ,;in be secured
Thompson's ultimate goal Is a chance
al Joe 1 1 ana, and it is possible he will
have that opportunity before the sum
mer months have pas ed away.

MONTANA KID
IS MATCHED
WILL GO ON FOR TEN ROUNDS
WITH LANDERS
McCarey Declares That There Will Be
No More "Stopping" Affairs
nt Naud Junction
Pavilion
Tom McCarey put the finishing
touches on his four-event card sched
uled for March 8 when he signed Fred
Landers and Montana Kid yesterday
afternoon. Landers is at present In
San Francisco, but McCarey wired the
tickets north and he wil come south
immediately.
The complete program consists of tho
following list of events:
Kl<l Solomon and Frank Sheek, ten
rounds; Kid Dalton and Frank Ed
wards, Eddie Meeney and Jimmy
Walsh. Montana Kid and Fred Landers.
"Never again will there be any more
'stopping' cards for mine. " said Mc-
Carey yesterday, when the affair of
last Friday night was under discussion.
"I do not believe yet that O'Brien could
have put his men away, but such a
card will not find place at N'aud June
: tlon so long as I am connected with the
game.
"I had my eyes opened years ago
i when Jim Jeffries failed to stop Hank
Griffin. So confident was I that
O'Brien could not stop Tremble, Turk
and Brown that I begged him to de
sist. He said that he could take care
Of himself, and I let it go."
When Jack O'Brien climbs into the
ring again approach of the fifth round
will be hailed with interest. Judging
from recent occurrences it would ap
pear as though the fifth period has en
tered as a hoodoo to the Philadelphian.
It was in the fifth round that Tommy
Burns sent over his wild right and
came near dropping Jack. Now the
Turk comes along and does a bad thing
in the fifth.

"If there are any men in the city who
have tho idea that the Y. W. C. A.
WOUld refuse their contributions to the
new building I hope they will disabuse
their minds of the notion," said one of
the secretaries yesterday. "It seems
that the impression hns got about
among business men that our building
was to be built entirely with the
money of women.
"I learned of one such case today,
when the employer of one of our mem
bers askeij If he might not be allowed
to contribute $25. He said ho had un
derstood that only women were to he
asked to contribute, but he admired the
association so much he wanted to give
something to the fund. He was ono
of the firm of the Capitol Milling com
pany and in addition to the cash he
offered to donate five barrels of flour
to the kitchen when the new building
is opened."
Smiling faces were the rule around
the campaign headquarters last night
when it was announced at the closn
of the busiest day of the month that
the total hns jumped up to $10(1,000 ami
over. Rejoicing was general and many
congratulations were exchanged.
Monday Is Busy Day
Monday was the day of the most
work since the beginning of the cam
paign. More people were down nnd
they put in longer hours than any day
before. There were two $1(100 women
and "A Nonymus" sent in several good
ly contributions. The news that Rev.
Robert J. Purdette had successfully ap
pealed to his congregation at the Sun
day service for donations to the fund
came as a pleasant surprise to the
campaign workers.
A big celebration of the victory is be
ing planned for Thursday night, when
committeewomen, members and friends
Will come together in the assembly hall
for an evening of enjoyment. Special
features are being arranged, but what
the entertainment is to he is kept a
secret. It Is not going to end until
midnight— that much Miss Tatham told,
so everyone is on the gui Vive to see
what is to happen.
Rev. Herbert J. Weaver will be the
speaker tonight at the second Of the
Lenten Tuesday evenings given by tho
association. Ills subject is "Paul's Su
preme Prayer." Mrs. L. J. Selby will
furnish the music.
