RACING OFFICIALS AFTER OFFENDERS WILLIAMS' STABLE IS UNDER THE BAN Jockey Club Stewards Bar Them From the Oakland Track. ARRAHGOWAN CAUSES TROUBLE A mild explosion startled horse circles last evening:, when It became known that the stewards of the Xew California Jockey Club had Informed the stable of S. M. Williams & Co., of which Dick Williams is trainer, that the firm's entries would no longer be received. The .firm was ordered to vacate the stalls held by them at Em eryville track. While the showing: in races of horses controlled by the firm has not been alto gether satisfactory to the officials at the track across the bay, this action was no doubt precipitated by the peculiar actions of the gelding Arrahgowan in a race run on Monday. Arrahgowan, with Eddie Walsh on his back, ruled favorite for the race in question and finished lengths be hind his field. After finally passing the wire the gelding bolted to the outer rail, throwing his rider with considerable force, although the latter fortunately escaped serious injury. Arrahgowan then ran away more than three miles before being brought to a standstill, and the claim was made that he had been doped. This, however, lacks substantiation. Dick Williams is one of the best known of Western trainers, having for years been in the employ of Barney Schreiber. Associated with him are his brother and Jack Atkin. the widely known and popu-_ lar bookmaker. SILENCE REIGNS IN FIGHT TRUST Persons Involved in the Britt-Gans Controversy Have Nothing to Say The parties involved in the Britt-Gans controversy have followed the advice and the example of "Silent Jim" Coffroth and have nothing to say. The cessation of hostilities may be only temporary, as it will take but little to fan the slumbering embers into flames. The Fight Trust is just now trying to elect a matchmaker, the candidates be ing Morris Levy and Willus Britt. Eddie Graney is with Morris Levy, while Cof froth is stringing with Britt. When the matter came up some days since, Cof froth was ready to vote for Levy, but each member of the trust was afraid to trust the other and no. election was held. Coffroth originally wanted the trust to have the acts of the matchmaker ap proved by a majority of the members. Thus the matchmaker would announce his intention of bringing together two men. and if two other members approved of his selection the match was made. This was voted down by Graney and Levy. Coffroth then changed his motion to read that it would require a majority, to reject a fight arranged by the match maker. This was also rejected. Britt manages his brother, and Sam Berger, with MrrrJs Levy, !a interested in the interesting Sullivan twins and in Jack Cordell. If either was given unlim ited power as matchmaker he could pre sent his fighters against some easy op ponents, and both the trust and the public could grin and bear it. There is a disquieting rumor about that a match Is contemplated next month bo tween Young Corbett and Britt. The only reasonable excuse for this is that the principals need the money. When Al Herford entered the ring the night of the affair between Britt and Gans he carried two 44-caliber revolvers among towels and other articles In a dress suit case. What possible use he contemplated making of them is hard to tell. The re volvers were stolen from him during the excitement of the night, but were recov ered upon payment of a reward. The for midable cartridges were extracted and are still being shown as trophies by ume of the fight fans ; at Powell and E'.lis streets. Representatives of Neil and Tenny will meet at Manager Coffroth's office to night to select a referee for the coming fight. The betting is expected to open with N<ll favorite at odds of 8 to 10.

Feb. 20. — Jesse M. Wilcox. a street-ear motorman, was found lying on the floor of his room on South San Pablo street after mid night last night with a bullet' hole through his heart. He was -barely alive when neighbors, attracted by the cries of the woman who says she is his wife, reached the room and could make no statement. The circumstances point almost conclusively to murder, and the detectives believe that if the woman did not commit the crime she knows who did. The shrieks of the .woman which aroused the neighborhood gave the first intimation of the tragedy, no shot having been heard. When the_ : police arrived .the body of Wilcox was lying on the floor, the feet toward the bed. but no weapon could be found. The officers left the woman alone in the room for a moment, and when they returned a large revolver was found under the sheets of the bed. There were no powder, burns about the wound, which was large enough to ad mit a man's three fingers.. The woman declared that she : -had returned home late and found her hus band dying and advanced the theory that he had shot The autopsy surgeon of the Coroner's office declared, that Wilcox- could 1 not have fired the *hot and then get out of bed.' The woman has been in a constant condi tion of hysteria, real or feigned, since the shooting, and says she can make no statement. " .'..".: .

Dixie Lad Shows a Surprising Form Reversal. FRED E. MULHOLLAND Tocolaw and Misty's Pride met at equal weights in the concluding Futurity course sprint at Oakland yesterday, and the ad mirers of the spio and span looking Ore gon mare unloaded again. Tocolaw, through a Marconigram from the paddock, was reported lame, and the ring fell for it, laying 11 to 10 about the big chestnut horse. It proved no con test. At the start Misty's Pride shot to the front, with Knapp, who rode with splendid Judgment, sitting still on Toco law, holding a handful of wraps. Knapp let the latter down the last sixteenth and breezed, in first by half a length. Show honors fell to St. George Jr. • TRACK IN" SLOPPY CONDITIONS The heavy downpour of rain left the track in a fearfully sloppy condition. But two choices were successful. Dr. Sherman went to the post favorite for the introductory event, and finished second. Graham on Matt Hogan, the sec ond choice, trailed along- in second or third position to the stretch, then cut loose, winning easily. The first choice dis posed quite as handily of Lansdown for the place. Another favorite, Mimo, went by- the board in the six-furlong selling sprint, which followed. The Reprobate, a ripe one Just picked from the vine, went out in the lead, with Rice up, and was not headed. Mimo took place honors from Mimon. Old Jerry Hunt was fourth. There was no demand for anything but St. Francis when betting began on the third. Lloyd Fountain piloted the chest nut colt, and he scored at leisure from Frolic and Bantam. Jillette had no speed. Tavora also made an indifferent showing. DIXIE LAD'S FORM REVERSAL. Next ' came . the startling reversal of Dixie Lad, which captured the mile and an eighth selling fixture, at odds of 12 to 1, well and quietly backed. The first choice. Orchan. was in front to the pad dock, where Robinson on Dixie Lad came with a rush, winning by half a length. Dusty Miller ran third. Wenrick, a winner on. the previous day, was played to repeat in what speculating was done on the mile run. Heavily.played at 7 to 5, the five-year-old cripple finished fourth. Mr. Farnum, carrying all sizes and colors of commissions, reached home nearly four lengths before Ray and Royal Red. \u0084.' NOTES OF THE TRACK. To-morrow will be Derby day at Oakland. Subscriber _ls informed . that A, who bet Knapp's -mount would \u25a0 win, is a loser. . \u25a0 ? Lloyd Fountain, the Idaho boy, pilot ed two winners. Rice, if he continues to improve, will be nearly a first-class lightweight be fore the season is over. * The flip-flap, described by Dixie Lad so shocked Charley McCafferty that he kicked the horse's selling price, from $500 to $900. There was.no change of ownership. Seven more horses owned by Dr. J. Grant Lyman, in charge of Trainer Kelly, reached Oakland from Ascot Park yesterday. The New York turf man's entire stable of horses will shortly be disposed of at public auc tion. Henry McDaniels, a well-known Ascot Park trainer, was a visitor at Oakland yesterday. Henry brought up Good Luck to win the Derby, but states that it is doubtful about the balance of the Tichenor string being seen in action at Oakland. " MISS JARECKI DEFEATS MRS.
