Stakes for Sonoma Girl
SO\OMA GIRL. FLEETEST TROTTEK OF HER SEX, WHICH WON THE MERCHANTS'
AND MANCFACTCRERS' $10,000 STAKES -YESTERDAY AT THE GRAND CIRCUIT
RACES ON THE GROSSE POINT TRACK NEAR DETROIT.,
DETROIT, Mich.r July 25.— Before
a crowd of 10,000 spectators and over
a track that was not too fast, J. D.
Springer's sensationally fast trotting
mare. Sonoma Girl, won the Merchants
and Manufacturers $10,000 stake this
afternoon at Grosse Point track. The
winner was bred at Santa Rosa, Cal.,
and is by Lynnivood W. i|@B§
It' proved a triple • victory forv the
great mare from the Pacific coast. * Not
only did she win one of the most cov
eted classics of the turf, but 6he set
tled once and for all the argument as
to the relative ability of- herself and
Ed Geers* Highball, an argument that
has been before the public ever since
the mare took the measure of the
black horse recently at Libertyville.
During the performance Sonoma Girl
also lowered the track record from
2:08 3-4 to 2:06 1-4 and set a new
\u25a0world's record for green trotting mares/
There were 10 starters, but the race all
the way was between the Califonia
candidate and the Geers' entry.
Sonoma Girl won. ' She did it so im
pressively there was never any doubt
that she was the best in the race. High
ball took the first heat, thanks largely
to the. advantage of racing luck and a
fine bit of driving by Geers. That heat
was done in 2:07%, which smashed the
record for the M and M set by Elota
Jn 1901 at 2:05%.
Sonoma Girl came, right back at them
in the second and set another mark
for the event, one that Is*^ikely to
stand for a time. She turned the mile
In 2:06*4. Sonoma Girl had. closed a
favorite at $100. Highball $64 and the
field $26. In some pools she ranked $50
to $35 over the' field. ,' : ilr" :
"When they scored the first \u25a0 time
Sonoma Girl was on the run, jumping
and fighting as though mad' and sour.
Time and again she acted badly, and
finally, when the .word was given on
the ninth score, she was. tea lengths
behlnd«-the rest, thought on a trot.
Highball, from the outside,, shot to the
pole, and to, the quarter in 30 seconds,
being 10 lengths ahead at the half.
Springer got Sonoma Girl going on the
first turn, and she rattled off a middle
half in 59&. landing in second place,
but being unable to catch Highball,
both pulling up in the stretch to let
the others In.
The next time they got away on the
third score and rushed to the half in
1:00%, where Highball had an open
length on the mar.-. At the three
quarters Springer set her going and
she marched up to and past Highball
as though he were tied to a hitching

NOLAN AND GANS FAIL
TO AGREE ON WEIGHT
All ;Negotiations for the
$35,000 Fight Are De
\u25a0 -v clareciOff
Whtn . the;- prospects seemed bright
I for Joe Gans" and Billy Nolan, repre
senting ' Battling Nelson.' agreeing on
weight conditions for a .return match
between" the lightweights, the negotia
tions were- brought to a sudden stop,
and the prospects ." for a meeting be
tween them seems remote. On Wednes
day night there seemed nut little In th«
way of making the match, but the sit
uation clouded up unexpectedly ajraln.
-Manager Nolan expected , to be able
to produce a copy of the old ? London
prizering rules. In Which it was , speci
fied that i men were ' required to welgH
in at the ringside attlred-ln-thalr flapht-,
Ing togs. The only copies of .the rules -,
available here * made no reference to>
weight In ; any way. and Nolan asked
for time In which to find the rule gov
erning this Important- detail- ,' -..
. Jim May, the ; representative -of th«
Reno athletic club, hadto'return horn»
last 'night. Before leaving .he v said:.
"We have the money and we want this
fight. Whenever you can aarree a* to
the weight we will be ready to post ths
entire purse." - '\u25a0'... "- '. ' •'- •- \u25a0
Willie Britt vwaa an Interested audi
tor at the meeting and, told. them that.
Jimmy. Britt was willing* to meet- Gans
and that he expected to beat Nelson in
their forthcoming meeting , and thus
make himself eligible for thojbis;/Ne
vada, purse. There was . some peppery
dialogue between Gans "and Nolan when^'
it was seen that.they could not
cile their differences. Nolan is holding
out for a principle. *as he wants the>
mooted question "of superiority between
the men , settled once : and for all . tlm«
under the conditions which obtained at
their last meeting. Nelson is not afraid
of Gans, and if the Dane had his way
he would : fight, the ' Baltimore . man . at -
catch weights 'to show that -\u25a0 he . could
beat him under any conditions. \u25a0\u25a0 ...
Nothing further will be done about
the match until after Nelson and Britt \u25a0
settle their. differences. "With" the pros- i
pect of. a $35,000 Nevada purse in sight.
It is possible that' the asperities : of the>
present time , will, be , for gotten .and th«
men_will agree to flght.^ ;v ; '-\u0084 .- \u25a0>*\u25a0-. ;.
The friends of /Gans blow hot and:,
cold on the proposition of his .making -
weight for Nelson. In one breath they
claim that Nelson will never recover
from the punishment administered , to
him by Gans at Goldfield and then. that
Nolan is trying. to tie' the hands. of the
colored man .so that he will not -have
a chance against Nelson. According
to their own statements they claim
that ,'Gans beat Nelson decisively at
Goldfield, so it Is hard to ~ reconcile
their : various \u25a0 claims. .
.If Gans defeated 'Nelson decisively
at Goldfield he should be able to do
it again : under the same conditions.'.,
and that is all Nolan -asks him to do.;'

SHARPERS HOPE TO BEAT
LOS ANGELES ORDINANCE
Men Interested in Pool and Liquor
, Selling Have a Scheme .Up *
Their Sleeves
LOS ANGELES. July 25.-— Persons
heretofore interested in the bar and
betting ring at Ascot believe they have
found,a way by which they can con
tinue business at. that track next sea
son with all the accompaniments ex
cept that the be tt tins and booze, dis
pensary will have to be alLong Range.
The outer of the park lies 40
feet within the city boundary and If th«
bar and betting ring were removed Just'
across" the line, .they would be only 40
feet outside, the track, , with- a' street
running between and this .street tho
track people can \ not close. '
Their present -plan, according to In
formation received by the city attorney.
Is to open their '-'bar along 1] the *clty
boundary with their betting • rinjr and
conduct business by messengers, "who
will -be employed jto carry dTlnks.' and
bets'from the park to-the outside.
City Attorney "Hewitt stated today!
•that- he had /been . informed" that sorna
such effort* would be 'made. He sal*l:
"There will he' no racetrack gambltns
within \ theTclty nor - : any liquor selling
there and If -any effort Is made to
evade the law- we 'will take*.up", tha
matter, with the "county authorities and
run Ascot "> and Its gang out of Los
Ansreleai,' county. If they want a fight
there will be" one."'
