By J. R. Jeffery
Thrilling finishes marked the deci
sion of yesterday's excellent card at
the Emeryville racetrack. In no less
than three of the six events the first
and second horses flashed by the
Judges only a nose apart, and in the
feature race of the day, the Black Rose
handicap at a mile and a sixteenth, the
finish was so close that none but th«
judges only a nose apart, and in the
of certainty whether Rapid Water or
Vox Popull had won. The race prob
ably came the closest to being a dead
heat of any that has been run in Cali
fornia thia season. Th« judges were
unanimous, however. In deciding that
Rapid Water had won on the nod.
Rapid Water was a heavily played
favorite, but Vox Populi was an equally
well supported second choice. Some of
the backers of Vox Popull who were
disposed to make a demonstration
against the decision were subdued by
a counter demonstration on the part of
the supporters of the favorite.
Vox Popull had no excuses. "W.
Kelly got him off to a flying start that
permitted him to get to the front with
Ruby right after the break, while
Rapid Water, away fiatfooted, had been
shuffled to the rear by the time tho
field swept by the stand the first time
around- Ruby's chances were ruined
•when Vox Populi cut her off near the
four-furlong pole, forcing Dugan to
pull up so sharply that she was unable
to recover thereafter. Fischer moved
up gradually with Rapid Water on tho
run down the backstretch^ and the Hil
dreth horse was lapped on Vox Popull
at the stretch turn. Then . ensued a
thrilling struggle between the sons of
Rapallo and Voter. Inch by inch Rapid
Water cut down the pacemaker's lead
as the pair measured stride for stride
through the stretch. During the final
fifty yards it was a case of nod and
nod and few could tell which one had
the advantage of the stride as they
flashed past the finish. Massa, the
third horse, -was three lengths away.
Fischer's effort on Rapid Water evoked
general commendation.
FOUR FAVORITES WIX
All In all it was a field day for the
talent, four favorites being successful.
Fast time was made In several of the
races. Jockey H. Smith carried off the
saddle honors with two victories.
The second race, at a mile and a half,
resulted in a finish between Inflamma
ble and Iras, the two choices, that set
the spectators a-tingle with excitement.
Ismailian attempted to make a runa
way race of It and led by several
lengths for more than «. mile, with In
flammable and Iras back in the bunch.
Inflammable, after having been cuto ff
several times, finally got through on
the rail at the stretch turn, obtained a
lead of a length at the paddock and
fast lasted to win by a nose from Iras,
with which Lycurgus had gone on tne
outside all the way. At the end Iras
was gaining with every stride. Grote
saved a lot of ground with the winner,
having skinned the rail from start to
finish, \u25a0while Iras ran a great deal fur
ther than any other horse in the race.
Ishmailian was easily third. She ran
the first part of the race very fast,
negotiating the first half in 50 seconds.
Grafter and Royal Red finished in the
ruck after chasing out after her in the
early part of- the race.
EDCARDO'S XOSE IX FROXT
Cadichon, played for a "good thing"
Jn the fifth race, lost to Eduardo, the
well supported favorite, by a nose in a
busy finish. Eduardo had the speed to
lead his field all the way after getting
to the front with Sandstone on tho
clubhouse turn, but Cadichon moved up
fast entering the stretch and H. Smith
had to ride his prettiest to stall off
that horse's determined bid from the
paddock to the' wire. Hippocrates,
whose price had been hammered down
from 12 to 8, easily beat off the rest of
the flelfi for the show. Sandstone quit
In the final quarter. "Fastoso also
stopped to nothing after having been
in forward contention for six furlongs.
Jackfull lost whatever chance he might
have had by wheeling at the start.
Adena. at 7 to 1, upset calculations
in the opening race by easily taking
the measure of Harvel, the odds-on fav
orite, on which Knapp had the mount.
Harvel got away well and had no ex
cuses. He raced "Wahoo and College
"Widow into submission, but was unable
to withstand Adena's determined chal
lenge in the stretch. Brown brought
Adena along ; on the rail and she
reached the wire three lengths In front
of the favorite. Harvel and College
Widow were easily second . and third,
respectively. Wahoo's race was good
for a first out. Brooklcaf ran & very
dull race.
EASY FOB XATTVE SOX
Just before post time in the third It
was discovered that Pimkim, the second
choice, was suffering from an attack of
thumps and the judges ordered his
•withdrawal and allowed twenty min
utes for a new book. The backers of
Native Son, many pf whom had ob
tained even money in the first betting,
were obliged to take 9 to 20 in the
new book, with the principal contender
eliminated. Native Son. and Ocean
Shore made a pretty race of It all the
-way, but the favorite held his rival
cafe throughout and won by a length
under clever handling by H. Smith.
Ocean Shore beat Nappa a length for
the place. Mabel Hollander closed a
big gap from a poo^r break and was
close up to the leaders at the end.
Grace G, quoted at as grood as 1 5 to
I, gave the talent a surprise by beating
Sugarmald, the even money favorite, In
the closing race, a six furlong- event.
The filly's chances were well thought
of by her stable connections and they
took a considerable winning out of tho
ring on the victory. Jockey Lynch had
the leg up, got the filly off first, kept
her close uprto Sugannald when Brown
sent the latter to the front soon after
the break, and, flashing past the favor
ite at the head of. the stretch, easily
beat her to the . wire. Royal Rogue
took third money, three \u25a0 lengths be
hind Sugarmaid, beating Gateway only
a neck, Goodchild was unable to Jceep
Princess Titanla from bearing, out in
the stretch.
Gossip of the Track
Large fields' of very ordinary horses
will be the" rule r today. Five of the six
races have the limit number of entries
and there was such" a general dfeslre on
the part . of " owners to run ' in these
events that it * became necessary to
throw out the entries of eighty-five
horses yesterday to reduce the fields
to the number allowed by, the track
regulations. .: ;

RESULTS OF GAMES
. San Francisco 6, Portland 3. '
"Lorn Angeles 7, Oakland 6. (Thirteen
tunings.) .... \u25a0
By W. J. Slattery
"Barney Joy was not • present to slip
the Beavers any "poi" for luncheon yes
terday afternoon,- but they turned one
over, anyhow. Not that ; they ; were ; en
titled to a, victory, but the kind-hearted
Mr. > Gum, and several. of his sympathiz
ers on " the Portland team • gener
ously donated runs at regular intervals,
and, as the Seals could not afford to
act in an unclublike manner,' they, sim
ply were forced to accept the victory
that was, thrust upon them.
There were wallsof anguish from all
sides when Umpire Derrick announced
that Joy was tossing : feverishly on a
sick bed - and that, after a consultation,
his physicians had "decreed that the
ballgrounds must do without him.'
However, many faces were wreathed in
smiles as the announcer made it known
that Oscar Jones would endeavor .to
toss the -Seals to a glorious . victory.- |
Oscar must be given credit for win
ning his game, but he did not pitch
any Brooklyn baseball at that Had he
not worn a glove It might have' been
correctly, said that he was possessed
of nothing which a pitcher needed when
he went into the box. His control was
bad, and the Beavers could rap his
offerings with great regularity when
they felt so disposed. '
GUM'S WORK IS STREAKED
The only difference between the bad
work of Jones and Gum was that Gum
failed "to balance his good and ' bad
innings like his opponent. He was in
wrong during the third and in the sev
enth the agony was still worse. Dur
ing these two periods the Seals were
very industrious, gathering six runs —
enough to -tide them over, with a couple
to spare. •":'
Portland started right, but the win
ning streak did not last long enough:
In the very, first inning Shlnn got a
pass and arrived on Pat Newman's re
sounding double to right. McCredie
opened the third with a safe bunt and
Newman ; sacrificed. Staton's | hit ' to
6hort. advanced the Portland captain
and he easily beat Hildebrand's throw
of Kane's long fly to the left garden. .
The Seals waded in and broke It up
for s fair when their, turn came In-the
same spasm. Street and Jones both
took advantage of Gum's generosity,
while Spencer, beat a bunt, making it a
full house. Mohler. put one through
Casey, allowing Street . to -register. • A
wild pitch sent Jones through with the
one that tied up the score. »
TWO MORE JOG HOME
. But the Seals were not satisfied with
this. They, were for a couple ' more
and they landed, though it did not
look any too good after Moriarlty ;hlt
nothing but >ther-atmosphere-in three
attempts. George HUdebrand was the
life saver this time. He lifted a dou
ble against the; right fence, while Moh
ler and Spencer still j lingered • on the
paths. They both jogged in, giving the
Seals a lead which they never lost.
The Beavers managed to squeeze one
more through in the fifth, but the Seals
easily offset this by grabbing a ' pair
when they came up for theirs in the
seventh. Gum had a very bad attack
of the walk-'em-agalns. With every
sack decorated and one to the .bad,
he passed HUdebrand and Irwin, forc
ing two through and taking away
whatever Interest the game might have
held for a favored few.
Umpire Derrick came in for a. lot of
panning from the occupants of the
bleachers. He had many close plays
to' decide: and most of them, unfor
tunately, went against the Seals. On a
few; occasions the players attempted to
Join in and 1 vent their wrath. But Der-'
rick would not "stand for anything like
that. , He called. Gum. McCreedie and
Street for; untimely remarks and- they
all came to realize that the Indicator
man was the big boss of the lot.
PERIODS OF SHARP FIELDING
There was some nice, sharp fielding
on both -sides. Moriarity and Staton
each grabbed a couple that looked good
enough to get through any infield. The
game was slow till" the fifth round,
when the players on both sides pep
pered up a bit 'and showed sped. ;The
score:

Roos Donates Artistic Trophy
to the California Nine
PERPETUAL CHALLENGE TROPHY PRESENTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA
BY ROBERT A. ROOS TO SPUR ON THE MEMBERS OF THE BASEBALL SQUAD TO
GREATER DEEDS IN, THE BATTING LINE.
Robert A. - Roos, " who graduated : from
the University , of California with the
class of '04, has shown his liberality
as a. patron of college sports by do
nating an artistic trophy, which. is in
tended as an Incentive to the members
of the baseball: squad across" the bay.
Some time ago Roos presented a cup
to the football squad, to be awarded
to the member who excelled in punting.
This proved, to be. an incentive to spur
the players on to their greatest efforts.
The baseball trophy is presented with
the same idea in view. It is offered the
on second in - round j five, . Hlldebrand
slapped, one down to Kane. Mohler
was run down between third and the
plate. In the meantime Moriarlty got
off his" balance between second and
third. - The ball was -quickly tossed
and a run-down game commenced. Ev
ery Portland player got into action and
nearly, the entire team handled the ball
before Moriarity ' was caught. This
completed one -of the f unnlesti double
plays of the. season. - / .
That baseball fans are an ungrateful
lot was never better.^ illustrated than
in the case of . Newman yesterday. Big
Pat was playing a high art game of
ball in the field and incidentally helped
over ; a* couple of, runs. , But in the
eighth he was unfortunate to drop that
foul from : Street's bat. Then : the fans
began to roast him, not desisting until
the big fellow got away with the next

Incidents of the struggle was Carlisle's
home run in the second inning. Car
lisle smacked a hot grounder toward
first base. It caromed off Bigbee's feet,
rolled past Heitmuller and brought up
against the center-field fence with Van
Haltren chasing it. Before it could
be returned to the plate Carlisle had
scored. ,
Los Angeles led until the seventh,
when Oakland tied the score. In the
tenth the northerners grabbed another
run and Los Angeles followed suit.
Oakland again forged ahead in the
twelfth and again Los Angeles drew up
even..
. In the thirteenth the suburbanites
grabbed another run, and the situation
looked . dubious for Los Angeles, but
to the great Joy 'of the fans Delmas
hit a home run. Hogan then scored on
two hits and a bad fumble and the
game ended with one man out. The

TOMMY BURNS PROMISED
A MATCH WITH SQUIRES
Australian's First Fight to
Be at Coffroth's Colma
Club
By R. A. Smyth
From present appearances Phila
delphia Jack O'Brien, with all his clev
erness, has been outwitted by Tommy
Burns in the matter of a match with,
Bill Squires, the Australian champion.
When the latter arrives here next
Tuesday on the Oceanic liner Ventura
his friends will advise him that Burns
is the best opponent available for his
American debut. Burns had a promise
of the match nearly two months ago.
Squires is being accompanied to this
country by a man named Reynolds,
\u25a0who will act in the capacity of trainer.
Bookmaker Wren, who expected to
make the sporting pilgrimage to this
country, was unable to do so, * henca
Squires will allow his friends her*
virtually to dictate his movements. The
arrangements for his reception are in
the hands of Jack McXamara and ha
undoubtedly will accept the advice of
the latter in regard to a match. Mc-
Namara. after looking over the field,
believes that Squires will get the best
returns from an open-air match at
Colma en May 30. He has discussed
the situation with Manager Coffroth
and they have reached a good under
standing. .
Burns has been promised the match
although' he Is supposed to meet
O'Brien in Los Angeles early in May
for a $30,000 purse. Coffroth figures
that, no matter what the outcome of
that fight may be. short of Burns be-,
ing knocked out, he would be the best
opponent to pit agrainst the vlsltinsr
boxer. Coffroth saw the last fight be
tween Burns and O'Brien and he does
not concede the Philadelphiah a chance
to put his sturdily built opponent down
for the count.
McXamara has selected apartments
out near the park, where Squires will"
make his home until he settles down'
to the routine of training. Available
training 1 quarters have been considered
and It Is possible Squires will be 10-,
cated at oji Ingleside resort which was
brought into prominence recently by
a visit paid it by Abe Ruef. The cli
mate is ideal for training and the road?
in every direction provide every facility
for outdoor exercise. It is near tho
ocean and the boxer could take a dij>
In the surf whenever he wished.
There has been some discussion is
to the number of rounds for which tile
fight should be scheduled. Manager
Coffroth favors a forty-flve-round af
fair, but says the fighters can hay*
anything from twenty rounds up. as he
will let them have their own choice.
Manager Billy Roche of the Colma
Club has fallen heir to a well balanced
programme of four-round fights-.' which
he will present at Colma next Tuesday
night. The rfatehes were .originally
made by the Manhattan Club and were
scheduled to take, place in this" city to
morrow night. The Supervisors did
not grant the necessary permit, so
Roche stepped in and grabbed the card.
The main event will be between- "Willie
Conroy and Johnny Murphy. The boys
have met five times and there Is still a
question as to which Is the better man.
"Willie Johnson will meet .Young
Choynski. Willie O'Xell. the Australian
featherweight, who gained a decision
over Kid Webster .recently, will try
conclusions with him" again. The heavy
weight event on the card wtll be be
tween Tad Rtordan and Joe Summers.
There will be six events in all. Roche
will referee, while Jack Grant, the
best known referee in the Northwest,
will act as one of the judges. Squires,
the Australian, is due on the morning
of the fights and will be a guest of the
club. He also will be invited to Judge.
Bob Ward, the heavyweight boxer,
who has been the star in his class In
the four-round bouts for some time. Is
becoming ambitious. He "wants a match
with Al Kaufman for twenty rounds,
believing he has a good chance with
Billy Delaney's big protege.
