SEASON AT MEADOWS
MAY RUN THE LIMIT
Crowds Continue Large at
the Seattle Track and
Sport Is Good
Special by Leased Wire to The CalL
SEATTLE. Aug. 13.— The racing sea
son at The Meadows is now more than
half over and so far it has proved the
most euccessful racing meet ever held
tinder the auspices of the King County
Fair association.
The race meet is scheduled to run
€7 days, but in all probability it will
be extended on« wets or to the full
limit allowed by the California Jockey
club, which controls licensed racing
in tie west.
The attendance continues to be large,
and despite the wet weather during the
middle part of last week there was no
diminution in the crowds that flocked
to the "pullman cattle train" of the
Seattle electric company and came
through with their little dimes to add
to the dividends of the corporation.
There has been some trouble at the
gates almost every day and It Is to be
hoped that the King County Fair as
sociation will have at least one more
turnstile operating every day this week.
The class or horses here is excellent,
as was evidenced when Cadichon broke
the world's record for seven 'and a
half furlongs on a curved track. Ori-*
lene has also shown some speed and
ln the mile race 10 days ago easily
could have smashed the coast record
for the distance had the rider exerted
his mount, but there was no necessity
tor it and the old figure still stands.
The sprinters have also shown class
and the time here, compared with Sara
toga, and other eastern tracks, has not
given The Meadows any the worst of it.
The local track is noted all over the
country as being one of the fastest,
and when there was talk of the four
mile race it was for the purpose of
setting up a new coast record. for the
distance. However, it has practically
been decided not to hold a race at this
distance, as some of the horses are
not in condition for It. Instead, it
is now planned to cold a two and a
quarter mile event, which will get a
cla«sy field, including Los Angeleno,
Miss Rillie. Mamie Algol and others
who are not as well Known as ihcse
etars of the turf.
» «1909» HA!TOICAP
There are 14 important stakes listed
for the season and the ninth will be
run off next Saturday afternoon. In
monetary value it is the most impor
tant of the season, although more in
terest attaches to the classic derby. It
Is the hope of the association that by
1909 the "1909" handicap stake will be
worth J25.000 and become the most im
portant ln the west ana one of the most
important ln the country, attracting to
Seattle in the year of the fair one of
the classiest fields of horses ever gath
ered on a western track.
There were 65 nominations for this
race and it will likely have one of
the largest fields of the year. The dis
tance is a mile and a quarter and the
. weights will b« announced tomorrow
afternoon at the tracli.
r Looking over the nomination list It Is
seen that, there are «iany fine horses
eligible. Among those likely to be
sent to the post are Woolma, Los An
geleno. Legatee. Lisaro. Rey del Mundo,
Vox Popull. Chimney Sweep, Bragg,
Cigarllghter, Arcourt, Johnny Lyons,
Grace G. Logistllla, Miss RlHie, Joe
Coyne. Funnyside, <^orgalete. Treasure
Seeker, Miss Officious, J. C. Clem, Gate
way or Frank Flittner, and Hugh Mc-
Gowan.
FCWYSIDE HAS CHANC.JB
If the weights are not too heavy the
race looks to be between Gateway.
Hugh McGowan, Johnny Lyons and
Grace G. Funnyside stands an excel
lent chance if the track is at all muddy.
Grace G made good a week ago yes
terday and stands as good a chance
next Saturday. There is an even better
class of horses and the Hoag entry
will not take up much weight. Gate
way is the class of the field, but will
likely have a heavy weight. Cigar
lighter ran some very good races in
the south, but has not been out here,
so the dopesters have had no chance
to get a line on him, or as to how he
will perform on this track. However,
. his record makes it important that he
be considered in this coming race.
Judge Egbert expects that at least
12 and probably 14 horses will start
in the handicap. There is no limit to
the number of starters, but the track
cannot properly accommodate more
than a dozen or fifteen. •

R. R. l'Hommedieu
The racing men along automobile row
spoke favorably yesterday of the post
ponement of the motor car races of the
Olympic club. They considered that the
event. was being held too close to the
Concord event. .Now that it has been
postponed a week thare are many more
who will take part.
Those who have been following the
automobile racing game in this sec
tion will have the pleasure of seeing
several new cars at the mcct — the
Franklin, Moline, Oldsmobile, a Thomas
or two. Pierce Great Arrow and more
than likely a Comet car. The race for
automobiles owned by members of the
Olympic club will be one of the main
features, for already several dinners
have been wagered on the contest.
Each owner will have his friends at
the track and some fierce rooting is
expected. The Tanforan track will be
opened for trial spins on Sunday, Mon
day and Tuesday and will then be
closed.
After the "White steamer and the
Steams meet on the Witter hill to race
for a hundred dollar silver cup, there
will be another private match. J. S.
Conwell, manager for the Tourist com
pany, has sent a challenge to C. A.
Howard of the Howard automobile com
pany for a race between the Tourist
and the Buick. The challenge has been
accepted. Conwell's challenge:
I note that the Steams and the White cars ,
have concluded arrangements to repeat the Wit- j
ter hill climbing contest in October next
As this is a case of "the more the merrier"
the two cylinder Tourist hereby challenges the
two cylinder Bulck to a similar contest with
touring cars, oa the ssme hill, at the same time
and under the conditions that governed the orig
inal Witter hill climb of August 3.
If this meets with your approval I would sug
gest that the loser award the winner a $50 cup
suitably engraved ln commemoration of the
event.

E. P. Brinegar, manager of the Pio
neer automobile company, has returned
from a business trip east. Brinegar
had a splendid chance to Judge of the
automobile situation in the east, and
brought back some interesting facts
concerning conditions. He said there
would be no reduction in the price of
1908 cars. There were several reasons
for this, the main one being that ma
terial and labor the last 12 months
have increased from 15 to 20 per cent.
Another reason was that there had been
at least half a dozen failures during
the last week in the east and ln most
cases the make of cars would be taken
out of the market. This meant less
competition. He said that the failures
were sure to be followed by , others.
The failures had caused the makers
of standard cars to increase their out
put for the coming year. Brinegar
added:
Tne time of baring a car that is not known is
passed. You bare to show tne present buyer
that the machine can stand up by practical
demonstrations of -those who have used It. In
the east the American cars are. conceded to be
equal to If not better than the? goreign cars.
In Prance the Americans harp taken such a
foothold thst^the makers orer there haTe been
forced to cut their prices 25 to 33 1-3 -per cent
to hold their local market.
The eastern manufacturers are determined to
inrade Europe durln; 1808 by a big tour of
American cars.
The TVinton motor car builders are
going to get into the six cylinder game
and will bring out a big car next sea
eon. The Olds will have three models
next season. There will be the present
model with many refinements, a 24
horsepower car and a six cylinder.
The Thomas 40 will not be changed
materially. . The price of the Thomas
40 will be advanced. The Thomas flyer
factory will bring put a six cylinder
and the new plant at Buffalo will be
devoted to the building of motor cabs.
Five hundred of these have been
started. The first will be seen at the
New York show. A number of these
taximeter cabs will be put ln the local
rent service by a company that has
been formed lately.
ARMY WORMS ATTACK
SAN JOAQUIN VINEYARDS
Great Damage Being Done
by the Leaf Eating
Insects
Special by Leased Wire to The Call
STOCKTON. Aug. 12. — Vlneyardlsts
in the vicinity of Lodi and in the
southern part of the county are suf
fering greatly from an Invasion of
army worms. The worms are excep
tionally large, ranging from one to two
Inches in length. They are spreading
with great rapidity over th« vineyards
of the county.
The worms entered the young vine
yard of David McEvoy. of this city and
stripped a part of it of almost every
leaf, but spraying and plowing fur
rows stopped their ravages. The young
vineyard of Judge W. A. Washington,
north of Woodbrldge, was also "at
tacked. While the worms seem to
prefer the leaves of young vines, they
also enter old vineyards and even eat
the grapes. Alfalfa fields are also
suffering.
Professor Quayle of the state univer
sity, who is now at Lodi, says that
after a brief period in their present
state the worms will go into the ground
and reappear in about three weeks as
moths.
The worms have made their appear
ance on the islands and are doing con
siderable damage ln some places to
potato vines and other vegetables.

The Angels had been figuring that
the Oaks would be easy for them, but
they forgot to consult Cap Van Hal
tren and the others when the doping
up process was in order. It. was bad
enough for the "southern brigade to
fall down five times against the Seals
last week, but right off the reel they
were subdued yesterday by thd Oak
landers, and the score was 5 to 2, which
leaves no room for doubt.
Oakland played grand baseball.
None who saw the fun will question
that fact at all. They had it on the
Angels forty ways from the middle,
and It was an impossibility if or them
to lose after the fourth inning unless
somebody fell down and broke his leg
or something like that.
Eli Cates again held the sign of the
red man high over the head of each
and every Angel on Hen Berry's line
up. They were lucky, indeed, to break
ln with the two runs that finally did
fall to them. Under ordinary circum
stances Cates would have blanked
them sure, "but a bad throw put the
first one over, arid the fact that he was
so far in the lead inspired Cates to
let up and allow another to register
in the ninth. V.r .'
Dolly Gray, whq has been pitching
such gfand ball for the Los. Angeles
\u25a0during the last few weeks, did > not
ftave a thing that looked puzzling to
the Oaks when they were ln need of
runs. Dolly was not bumped consecur
tively or anything like that, but
when his opponents saw fit 'they
waded right in and gathered thick and
fast.
The first of these gathering periods
happened in the fourth spasm, which
Heine Heitmuller opened with a three
cushion slap to deep center. Gray was
afraid of Truck Eagan and gave him
a ticket. Bliss laid down a bunt which
Jud Smith proceeded to boot, and Heit
muller Just sauntered in. Bigbee fol
lowed the lead of Bliss and again
Smith went wrong, so Eagan went to
third. Then Truck started for the pan
and Eager dropped the ball,, letting
another in. Haley also contracted the
bunting habit, and when he put a nice
one down in front of the plate Bliss
sneaked in with the third one. .
That was about enough, but Oakland
was ambitious and on,more
runs. In the eighth Haley waited while
Dolly ' Gray tossed four wide ones at
the pan and Brick Devereaux imme
diately swung , through, with a two
bagger against the right field- fence.
This meant another run. Just to pol
ish off the afternoon's work. Oakland
made it a full house in the next period,
and Dolly Gray was excited that he
walked Haley with two gone and gave
Heine Heltmulier a chance to register
once more.
Outside of Jud Smith's rough work
at third the game was perfectly free
from errors. Los Angeles got its first
run in the third spasm when Eager
scored from third on a long fly to right
by Dillon. Heitmuller made a perfect
toss to the pan, but Bliss could not
squeeze the ball hard enough. In . the
last Inning doubles by Gray and Ea-ger
put the other one ln for the Angels.
One of the best week day crowds of
the season was there to root for Oak
land. The transbay fans have it on
the local rooters by many lengths, for
they do some yelling every time their
team starts. It was the support from
the bleachers that made Oakland win.

THREE DAY REGATTA AT
SANTA BARBARA OPENS
San Francisco Yacht Clu'
Will Probably Enter
Next Year
Special by Leased Wire to The Call.
SANTA BARBARA, Aug. 13.— The
three day regatta of the South Coast
yacht club will open tomorrow in the
Santa Barbara channel with a 15 mile
absolute handicap -over a triangular
course in which' the following yachts
are entered: Arrow, Monsoon, Colum
bine, Mischief, Minerva, Enchantress
and Shadow.
Of more importance than the actual
races, however, is the probability that
the regatta here will become an annual
fixture, where northern' and southern
yachts' will meet In neutral waters. In
this regard Commodore F. G. 1 Phillips
of the. San Francisco yacht club, who
is. here for the regatta, said today:
"Had we known "of this ' regatta
sooner we certainly would have, sent
some of our boats down here. We did
not hear of it until about a week ago,
and then. it was too late to get the
boats into shape for a ten day cruise.
"Another year will witness a regatta
in these waters in which San Francisco
boats will participate in competition
with the southern yachts. You have
an ideal stretch of water here; and it
will be a common ' ground on which
boats from the bay. and from the
southern cities can meet."

Chicago Heavy Weight Anxious To
Hoo k Up With Canadian
Miko Schreck, the conqueror of Mar
vin 'Hart and one of the toughest heavy
weights who ever danced around a
padded ring, broke Into this city last
night from Chicago on a belated train.
Mike was accompanied by his manager,
BlllyHogan, also .of the windy city.
As everybody, knows, Mike is carded for
a fight with ;A1 Kaufman at the* Aud
itorium rink on the last- night of the
present ' month. If he is successful ln
his mlxup with the native son Schreck
intends to go after the scalp of Tommy
Burns, whom he has been yearning to
meet fora long time.
" , Schreck looks - good j for a man who
has spent \u25a0 several ; days on the road.
Naturally he. is carrying \u25a0a' few pounds
of flesh that will . not" be of any use to
him' when he enters the ring. He
weighs somewhere in the neighbor
hood of 200 pounds with his clothes on.
but a few days of good, energetic work

BILLY HOGAN, WHO ARRIVED HERE LAST NIGHT. THE WINDY CITY BOXER
WILL START WORK IMMEDIATELY FOR HIS MATCH WITH AL KAUFMAN ON
THE LAST DAY OF THE MONTH.
will bring him down to 182, the weight
he generally fights at.
"I have come a long way to take on
Kaufman, and if I did not feel pretty
sure that I could beat him I would not
be taking such a chance," said Schreck
last night. "Of course, I know as well
as anybody else that Kaufman Is a big,
tough fellow, but I have met a great
many of the same kind and beaten them
in my time, so my present engagement
is not worrying me in the least.
"Burns Is the attraction for me. I
know that I can beat him, and if I get a
chance I will show the world. The pos
sibility of securing a match with Burns
was what brought me to the Pacific
coast If I beat Kaufman (and I know
that I will) there. is no reason in the
world why I should not get on with
Burns. The public demands this match,
and I know that it will be a big draw
ing card here." N
Schreck sure has- a . license to go
against Burns. He finished Marvin Hart
in Nevada a- few months ago. Burns
went up against the big Kentuckian
at Los Angeles more than a year ago
and the best he did was to keep away
and win the decision in 20- rounds.
Schreck is one of those fighters who
wades in and takes a chance. He can
stand any amount of punishment and
Is always sur* to give the crowd a run
