8 SPORTS OF THE TRACK, THE BENCH AND THE RING PAT MORRISSEY, THE OLD MUDLARK, IS FIRST IN A THREE-NOSE FINISH Favorites at the Track Across the Bay Hold Their Own---The Ladaean Downs Ool. Ballantyne at Long Odds—Young Pepper Defeats H. L Frank, a Hot Tip a* S thocgh for old time's sake. Pat f\ Morrlssey won a nose- decision yLA over I>sa] Maxim and Dollle A iA. Welthoff in the first rac© decided yesterday at Oakland track. • The rainfall of the night before l^ft the irack moist and somewhat heavy, and ihr old mudlark warmed up to tho g?o!ngr from the start. Pat was ridden by the Ion*, lean, angular Jockey Stuart, who every now and then is aroused from ona | of bJj apathallc spells arul puts a win- j ner over the plate. There was price enough, too, for the 'ring gradually bumped the opening quo- j ration of 6 up to it. For a time after the I «art It looked as if Legal Maxim and 1 Polllft "Welthoir -would fight It out. When j these got to wobbling down paat the pad dock Stuart Joined them with Morrissey, *ad the trio crossed the line noses apart, with the verdiot going to Pat. The Sing- a 9 to 5 favorite, retired for rest and quietude after displaying some early i«peed. TRACK IS HEAVY. While the track was slow horses ran ' well to form, favorites capturing three of the six events. BeeJdes Pat Morrlsso>v The Ladaean added his name to the long phot directory by winning at 10 to 1. Bonner on Stunts in the mile selling run proved a decided improvement over I* Wtison, who rode the colt at Ingleslde !ast week. The Brown entry was backed down from 4 to 15 to 5. and under wraps j most of the trip beat Greyfeld a neck, V5th 6om<*th'.ag in reserve. James P, an Sfc-pounder, piloted by W. Italy, took the show from Goldone by a head. Bombardier was scratched from the j two-year-old dash, and H. L* Frank, from i ihe etable of D. Cameron, was touted as the real ripe one. So steady was the play •g:i the youngster, cutting his price, from i to 3. that the odds about Young Pepper, ihe favorite, drifted from 7 to 5 to 2. At . ihc start J. Daly, who rod© H. L. Frank, <1id not have clear sailing, and although running a nice race finished second to the fa\orite, which Tras excellently ridden by j Jimmy Boland. T. J. Cox ran third after ' leading almost to the paddock. VELMA CLABK A WINNEIL Powell landed the second elx and a half furlongs with Velma Clark, a 5 to 1 ••hance, 6econd in demand to Bogus Bill. The last named horse made a g-ood bid | for the purse, and after conceding the first position to Tyranus ran into the ?<how. Velma Clark finished strongly, dis posing- otTyranus by more than a length. As Colonel Ballantyne has not been showing to advantage- of late. Star Cotton fell In for the smart play to take the mile and a quarter selling Eiumber. Notwith standing that the odds about Cotton dropped from 4 to V&. the Colonel still ruled favorite. At one stage 10, the price usalnst The Ladaean was cut to 6. From the start the favorite and Star Cotton al ternated in cutting out the running, Minder on The Ladaean failing to get up until the paddock Was reached. There he rot through on the rail and in a desper ate drive led the Colonel out half a length despite Bullman's fierce efforts on the lat ter. \ Orsina made a gallop of the concluding 5ix-furlor;g run after her odds had gone from 6 to 5 to 11 to 5. She was piloted by Pc-ed and finished first, nearly five lengths ahead of Mim«. Diamante ran third.

Former ex-slaves are the special victims of it and it has been ascertained that hundreds have been snared in this city alone. Houston seems to be the center of operations. The pro moters have so far managed to keep In the background. Old-time negroes are to be seen about the city wearing upon their coats a badge worded thus: "Member ex-Slaves Associa tion." The badge, together with a certlfl ftate of membership in the alleged organi zation, has cost each Jl 60 or more. The originators of the swindle are white men, but they have enlisted shrewd and unprincipled blacks of a younger-genera tion to assist them In their operations. Old negroes are approached and told that the Government Is going to pension all ex-slaves; that a law orovldlng for such Is now being passed and that if they want the benefits of a pension a.11 they have to do is to join the ex-Slaves' Association, which will put them immediately in line for a pension. The unsophisticated, colored man has heard talk of the pension bill and ia an easy subject. He bites readily and then resorts to any means in hla power to rhlse the necessary membership fee7 The usual fee is $1 50, although as high as $5 has been Becurod from some of the more prosperous class. The ex-slaves are not burdened with wealth. They are extreme ly poor and those that have a place to lay their heads and the assurance of enough to eat are fortunate. The raising of $1 50 with most of them is a large financial un dertaking. But with the allurements of a monthly pension sufficient to make them feel rich they exert every energy to get the amount of money required. The certificates of membership recite that, besides the membership fee, a monthly assessment of 10 cents Is made to defray the expenses of the organiza tion and to assist in handling applications and getting them quickly into the hands of the Government.

PORTLAND, March 3. — Jimmy Britt has commenced to get on edge for his contest with Jack O'Keefe, the crack Chicago boxer, which takes place next Monday night. The Californian trained faithfully for two weeks at Larkspur prior to com ing here-, so when he donned his training togs at the Multnomah Club yesterday afternoon he looked every Inch the terror he is credited with being. To look at Jimmy Britt walking along Morrison street on his way from the clubhouse to the Portland Hotel one would never sus pect he was the boxer who made a sensa tional leap from the amateur ranks to the top of his class in record-breaking time. When he strips for his afternoon work in the gymnasium it is evident his street at tire hides one of the most wonderful pieces of fighting machinery in the coun try. "What do I think of O'Keefe?" echoed Britt to-day. "I prefer not to think of tne other man when I'm fitting myself for a contest. They generally keep you pretty busy thinking about them after the gong sounds. They tell me O'Keefe Is a pretty hard customer, and I guess he Is. I know he has beaten some of the best men In the class. I'll answer that last question more fully after, next Monday night." The Britt camp was strengthened this morning by the arrival of Billy Bates, the heavy-weight boxer, who won the recent Olympic Club tournament at San Fran- "I KILLED HIM!" SAYS HOWARD San Jose Negro Revises Statements' About a Murder. Special Dispatch to Tho Call. SAN JOSE, March 3.— Another chapter was added to his confession of the mur der of Andre Soeur by Wilson Howard, the negro, this afternoon. With remark able coolness he declared he alone had done the killing, but that Daspit had planned the crime with him and received a share of the booty. This morning Deputy Sheriff Bache swore to a complaint before Justice Ben son charging Howard with the murder of Soeur, and the preliminary examination of the accused was set for this afternoon. When Howard's cell was unlocked he told the jailer he was willing to go on the gtand and give some new testimony, but before doing so he wanted- to see Father Mackay. The clergyman was sum moned, and after Howard had been.clos oted with the priest for a short time the examination began. Howard took the stand without hesitating and in a clear voice said: - "I killed old man Soeur alone. Daspit and I planned the murder up in his room. He did not go with me, though I divided the money I got with him. I went out to Soour's place, shot and robbed him. "I called Soeur outside and said I was an officer and would put him under ar rest. Soeur demanded to see the warrant and I showed him the bogus one I had prepared. I then drew my, revolver and showed It to Soeur and he said he would go as soon as he got his hat. He went into the house and ran out the back door and across the field, but I saw him and ran after him. I commanded him to halt or I would kill him, and caught him 200 yards away. .1 then started back with him, but stopped and robbed him. Soeur gave me a purse and some money In a handkerchief. A team was coming and I made Soeur climb the fence into the field where he was found. As he continued to talk loud I killed him, thinking his mur der necessary to make my own escape. On the way back to town I threw away my revolver and cartridge belt." This evening Howard accompanied Sher iff Langford to the place and showed where the weapon was. Howard secured $165 65 from Soeur. Howard was held for murder. McComish Wins Farce Prize. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, March 3.— Charles D.

Jack Grant, Fire Chief Campbell, Joe Acton and Tom Tracey seem to be more prominently mentioned for the place than the others, and the third man In the ring will probably be selected out of that list.

A delegation of Brltt's ad mirers are coming up from San Francisco to see the mill. Promoter Jack Day Is receiving large orders for seats from Seattle, Tacoma, Astoria, Vancouver and other cities.
