Aug. 23. — There was no distinctive feature on the card offered b3- the Saratoga racing association to day, but it was of average excellence. It was full of promising possibilities . to the speculatlvely .inclined, however, and the work of thoee who figure on past performances ma4e it look like . an easy card to beat. The weather was fine and track in .splendid condition, and the events '\u25a0„ showed sport of very high quality. The attendence at the track Is growing slimmer every day, and today, when the horses went to the post In the opening event the betting ring crowd was made up chiefly of book makers and their .helpers.

By long odds this state ranks first In Its number of auto mobiles, considered in ratio to the population. Xaturally. New York heads the list anfbng the states, with 46,120 automobiles. Pennsylvania comes sec ond, with 16,981,- and California has 12,073. Missouri falls In considerably farther down the line,. with 1,716. The number of. autos.* considered wittT re gard to the population, shows the fol lowing: per capita ratios In six states: California has one automobile for every 123 people, New York one t for every 167, Washington one for every 345, Pennsylvania one for ; every 371, Oregon one for every 765, Missouri one for every 1.810. In so far as the use of automobiles bears, a relation to the prosperity of a commonwealth it will be seen that California ranks high among the states in the matter of per capita wealth. A. H. Elliott, a member of the Oak land city council, has just returned from a,. trip to Earita Cruz In his new "Wnlte steamer. Mrs/Elliott ran the car during a considerable portion of the trip. Giant Athletes Will Represent Calif ornia in Championship JOCKEY DAVIS COMES OFF THE RIDING HONORS Lands in First Place With Three of His Mounts at The Meadows Special by Leased Wire to The Call \u25a0 SEATTLE, Aug. 23.- — The first race at The Meadows today, a dash of five furlongs, 'looked like a two horse affair and the wise ones, as is generally the case, went to the wrong horse. Prin-' cess Wheeler, backed for- a fortune, could never head the winner^ Speaker : Fontana, which broke "first, and* held that position throughout. Speaker Fontana had been breaking watches in trials and looked the best on form, but, having dicky legs, the players would have none of him. His underpinning i fteld good, however, and he demon strated his class. Glenbrier, always-ln the hunt, took the show honors. • A real live ono was cut loose when Chlcorka Maid, the heaviest played horse of the day, romped home in the second race. Electric Spark was full of speed and was, a good second.* E. C. Runte. landed in third position. Keene Brothers' fast filly Bonheur had no trouble in the third and won In a common canter. Karennina placed, with Forest Rose third. The fourth was a thriller when Joele S just nosed out Mabel Hollander. Da vis lay back on the winner and saved ground turning into tho stretch. Hol lander came from far back and would have won in another jump. Elmdale was an easy third. \u25a0 The fifth was an eagle bird for tho books, when the two favorites, Manda tor and Foncasta, failed to finish in side the money. ' Avontellus was given a superb ride by"Riley and breezed borne when given his head. Supreme Court showed sudden improvement and got the place from Chancellor Wal worth. Mandator and Foncasta ran dis gTaceful races. The sixth furnished an exciting fin ish between Bonar and Jerusha. The formec won by a head. The Macer came along in time to grab show honors.. Jensen, on Smiler, endeavored to make a runaway race of It, but was caught when turning into the stretch. Q. Ls. Sneff claimed Mandator for i J925. T»:e Foncasta entry will be refused In the future.

Slattery ; "The Seals got along nicely yesterday until the fifth Inning, when the Com muters rudely broke in with a pair of runa, dampened the victorious spirit of the home team and awakened the faith ful fans who -had been' peacefully dreaming of how the locals .would look In second place. The Long' contingent had four Innings left! in which to turn the tide In their favor, but to their sor row they discovered once more; that it is an awful Job to rout the Oakland flock when once it forges into the lead. The Seals, however, did the best they could. Their. errors were. few and they acted fairly well with the club. Nobody blamed San Francisco . for losing and everybody was compelled to give due credit to the transbay. wallopers for coming thrffugh with the hits when they were needed. As usual. Willis had his one .bad In ning. Outside of the, fatal fifth, he pitched, baseball tb'at was good enough for any fan. His control was good, and though he did not show all of the large assortment of speed and curves on the list, he managed to mix 'em up and cause the Commuters to do a lot of futile swinging at the ball. - In .the opening spasm the Seals got to Hogan, the leading slabster of the league, for a brace of tallies and three resounding blngles. They were on the rush and determined to gather as long as the sun shone. But. strange to say, Hogan dug up a new line of the curvy stuff In the third round and never again did a Seal have- a peep In at the rubber. Oakland started the game off In the first by breaking In with a run. Old Van Haltren' nailed-a single out In the center plot and advanced on a wild pitch: I Eagan lifted a long fly to short centerj and while Wheeler, Spencer and Streib were each giving the other the office to' go: In ; and- get It the leather dropped In a safe spjot and the Oakland leader romped In. "/ : But the way the Seals came back with two In their half of the round made the fans sit up and take notice. Spencer walked and Immediately stole. Wheeler advanced him on a drive to center and also pilfered the second bag. IrwMn produced a grass burner that nearly took a leg off Devcreaux. and though the Oakland brigade protested fiercely, claiminga foul, UmplrelTDer rick said "Fair" and both runs were registered. Even then the Seals "were not through hitting. Quick .. slammed a single against the right field fence: and ad vanced 7 Irwin to third.* Everybody .was cheering. for morehits." Streib cut loose a grounder whichißigbee devoured and. running across* the field,: cut ".Irwin down af-ier he had started for the plate. The play was a. new and neat one and called forth a round of merited, -ap-' plause from those who witnessed tho stunt. ' \u25a0'\u25a0 \u25a0• .\u25a0•'-.'. .- The Oaks were under the spell of V,*illis' shoots till the fifth, when Hogan started the good work for hie team with a double cushion slam against the right field fence. Smith shot one Into center which got away from Spencer. Hpfjan arrived and Smith, pulled up at third, while "Spencer was busy hot footing- it to.- the clubhouse after the elusive '\u25a0.; ..sphere: -Van Haltren cama along witH^d^long fly to deep right, giving Srnith r ahsh"aace to land the win ning ruri.**Eagan v followed with a double.'-butd&d: oh second, as nobody responded 'with the hit to score him. j Oakland. played errorless ball In the field, while'/tlie; costly inlsplay that. 13 charged against Spencer was tho; only ono that marred the, work of the Seals.'

Santa Barbara tennis tournament, when a hard day's play brought Melville' Long and Carl Gardner of San- Franclsqo to .the .final round of the open singles. Long reached the finals without the loss of a sinjrle set, but Gardner had a harder row to hoe. He metSpauldlng of Santa Barbara, captain of the Yale team, in' tho fourth round, and Trow Hendricks In the semifinals. The north ern crack proved. equal to his task and won handily from Hendricks in straight sets, 6-0, 6-4, and from Spaulding, 6-1. 3-6. 6-2. - , The Yale man outplayed Gardner In the second set at every point, and for a while it looked as though a local man would- play in the finals, but he cracked In the final set^ Long's hard est match was against Tom Bundy. who .was runnerup to Long in the coast championship last year. The score was 6-2, 6-4. Clarence Griffln. the other member of the northern trio, was, put out>by Hendricks in the third round 6-2. 3-6. 6-2. There is a chance that H. H. Braly, holder of the challenge cup! will not get here In time to defend his -title, in which case the winner of the' Long- Gardner match will secure the Potter cup, which has been, won In turn by Ball. .Spaulding and Braly.

A. Smyth GLEASON DECLARES WAR ON RECKLESS AUTOISTS Police Captain Will Stop ,Fast Driving* Through Golden Gate Park R. R. l'Hommedieu Captain Gleason of the park station has declared war on automobile drivers who endanger the lives of pedestrians by dashing madly through Qo'lden data park to the beach resort 3at 'all hours of •theTnlS'ht. Every automobile owner ' knows that* It is the rent cars that run to the fceach that make wight hideous \u25a0 and hurt the sport. If Gleason wants to stop reckless drivtnsr throu»H th» park he will have little difficulty In do- ; ing, so, for there .is not a nljfhttn th« ; week that he cannot make a dozen or more arrests. The publication of % the true names of those who rent these'ears will do much toward bringing 1 these late night ride* ; Into disfavor. Those who give assumed names should be exposed. In many cases the violation of the speed law Is not the fault of the driver of the' car. He is h!rcd to go to the beach: the rld» is punctuated by stops at drinking re sorts on th«» way out and by. tjie tim» ' the park is rea"!-"!<} most of his pas sengers are feeling the effects of the liquor. The driver is generally ordered by the drunker occupants to send the car along: at top speed and the faster the car goes the arreater Is the demand for more speed. If he does not comply with the order and runs his car within the speed limits fixed for the park ha Is voted as too slow and the next time. a car Is wanted by the same person* thfv.- look elsewhere for a driver. « The rent car business haa become so keen that the drivers of; machines take all kinds of chances to hold their trade. It "is bread and butter ' to them and means that they must protect the money they ' have invested In the car. j The evil, as said before, is not so much [with, the drivers of the cars as It la with those who hire them. A few ar rests for disturbing the peace Is all that will be required .If the true namea of those nrrested In "the car are. made public. The officers of the Automobile Club of California are assisting the pollc* to stor> these violations of the law.; They have been instrumental in j bringing about many arrests of late ana have engaged a special attorney to prnsecuto those arrested, not under the city ordinance, but under the state law. which ls more severe. • • • The committee that has charge of the building of the new boulevard out of the city Is progressing rapidly with the work.
