TANFORAN TRACK WILL
NOT REOPEN THIS YEAR
Secretary of Jockey Club
L Announces Plans of the
Management
J. R. Jeffery
The expectation of a year ago that
the local racing season of IPO7-0S
would witness the reopening of the
Tanforan track will not be realized.
Secretary Treat is authority for the
'statement that the plans of the New
California Jockey club contemplate
racing only at Oakland track during
the coming season. The abandonment
<5f the proposal to race at Tanforan
durijig part of next winter is princi
pally due to the failure of the South?
. orn Pacific to gft its Bay Shore cutoff
in operation. The jockey club man
agement realizes that present trans
portation arrangements at the Tan
foran course are utterly inadequate for
the handling of the immense crowds
that attend the races and will make no
attempt to conduct a meeting there
until proper transportation facilities
shall have been provided. While It
might not be a bad idea from some
standpoints to occasionally change the
goene of racing during the lengthy
local season, the Jockey club probably
would find the change expensive. To
begin with, it would be necessary to
expend many thousands of dollars in
improvements at -Tanforan befora it
would be expedient to race there. The
plant while in «xcellent condition for
training purposes, is hardly in shape
for public racing?- Again, it is doubt
ful ST the attendance at Tanforan
would run as high as^ at Emeryville.
Oakland and its environ* contribute
handsomely to the gate at Emeryville
and the roundabout trip to Tanforan
might not appeal to the Oakland con
tingent as readily as; the convenient
transbay trip does to San Franciscans.
The new California Jockey club's In
gles'ide racing plant is still occupied
by the refugees to whose xise it has
b<=-en devoted since the disastrous days
of April. IHO6, but it is expected that
the unfortunates who have found it
a haven will be removed elsewhere by
the first of the coming year. The
jockey club will then proceed, to get
the track back into shape for racing
purposes. It is expected that a con
siderable expenditure will be neces
sary teefore the track can again be
used for racing.
Harry Stover, the Petaluma turfman,
is reputed to have cleared $40,000 on
his Butte racing venture the past
summer, but part of this profit went
to meet a slight deficit that attended
the running of the Petaluma meeting,
which followed the Butte season. The
Petaluma meeting failed to attract the
patronage that Stover hoped /or when
lie arranged the dates, and Incidentally
convinced him that the proper time
for a meeting at Petaluma is in the
spring, immediately at the close of
the Oakland season and prior to the
opening of the Seattle meeting. On
account of the extension of the Oak
land meeting last spring Stover was
unable to get his customary dates, but
he will make an effort to hold his
meeting next May, as in previous
years, as much for the purpose of pro
viding racing for the horses that will
go to Butte later on as for any other
reason. Stover is showing commend
able enterprise in increasing the stake
distribution at Butte, and horsemen
who participated in this year's racing
at the Montana mining town appear to
have been pleased with the treatment
they received, so it is likely that next
season's meeting will be even more
successful.
According to report the -Sausalito
poolrooms have experienced the nov
elty of an unprofitable season this year.
The extension of the Emeryville rac
ing season naturally handicapped them
badly during the early part of the sum-,
iner. Then their business was demor
alized by the campaign waged by the
district attorney of Marin county. Even
after they had recovered from the ef
fects of this agitation the. volume of
their play was and still is greatly af
fected by the competition of hand
books, which have been operating very
extensively about the bay. Last sea
.son Harvey & Daroux were reputed to
have cleaned 1150,000 at Sausalito.
This year up to date the balance is re
ported to be against the poolrooms.
It is reported that Curly Brown is
endeavoring to interest eastern capi
talists in a scheme to build and operate
an outlaw track at Venice near Los
Angeles, -in southern California. The
enterprise may mature, but It is hardly
likely.
O'Neill Sevier, the New York Tele
graph's racing expert, believes that
1 Kara Hildreth got a big bargain when
lie purchased Montgomery for $13,000,
I and advises Hildreth against subject
: Ing the horse to a hard winter cam
; paign in California, It is probable, how
ever, that Hildreth will race Montgom
| <>ry as frequently as he can get him to
. the post In proper shape and under
conditions that are not too onerous.
Montgomery coet Emil Hcrz $25,000
last spring and won for him about
529.000 in purses. Ailing feet consti
tute his only weakness.
About 200 horses gathered at Spokane
for the two weeks' meeting now in
; progress, as against about .75 last sea
•son. Among the owners represented
; are J. J. Ellerd, L. C. Williams, E. B.
I Smith. Matt Reiss. A. B. Pomeroy,
Johnson & Dodson, J. B. Dunn. Ben
Levy, J. a. Armstrong, James Coffey
and Jack Brannan.

Joe Gans Gets Decision in His Fight With Jimmy Burns
Famous Lightweight ChampipnWins
Another Great Victory
LOS AXGELES. Sept. 27.— Joe Gans,
the famous lightweight champion, won
another great victory before the Pacific
athletic club tonight "when he received
the decision over Jimmy Burns (George
Memsic).of Los Angeles at the end of
the twentieth round. , The battle "was
one of tbe greatest of its kind that has
been ever witnessed in the west. Burns
showed his clj^ss in a hundred ways. He
was well nigh the equal and at times it
looked as though he might be Gans*
superior. But Gans was in his old time
form . and fought with all his accus
tomed cleverness. Perhaps never be
fore were so many blows exchanged in
an encounter as this one tonight. -
! The decision by Referee James J.
Jeffries met with the entire approval of
Ithe 5.000 persons in the auditorium. Up
jto the seventeenth' round Burns held
the champion about even, but after
that Gans slowly but surely beat his
opponent down.
Just before the gong sounded in the
final round "Gans landed terrific swings,
both left and right, to face and body,
and Burns, was in worse shape than he
had been during the fight. Gans un
questionably won the decision on his
fighting in the last three rounds, when
he overmastered Burns. .
Both men appeared extremely cau
tious at the outset. The champion
seemed to lead with greater sureness
and landed with more precision. Burns
rushed Gans repeatedly and was on the
aggressive throughout. The champion
broke ground slowly. He was \u25a0'light
ning fast and blocked beautifully many
of Burns' best blows. Burns also was
clever In blocking, but his defense was
not nearly so good. Both men stood
well erect and fought almost entirely
in mid ring. There was little giving of
ground on either side and much taking
of punishment by both. Burns appeared
unable, however, to do serious damage
to the doughty champion.
Chances were frequent, but Gans had
the better o£ ,the infighting. Burns
demonstrated one thing beyond ques
tion, and that was his ability to hit
Gans hard and often.
Burns was very strong and had a
vigorous .punch with either hand. He
lost the result of many swings for
Gans* jaw that might have terminated '
RELIANCE CLUB BOUTS
ATTRACT LARGE CROWD
Frankie Neil Issues Chal
lenge to* Either Britt
or Nelson
Henry Lloyd suffered a double defeat
last evening at the monthly boxing
show of the Reliance club. After be
ing knocked out by George Lahey in
the second round he was arrested by
the police on a warrant charging him
with having made an assault with a
deadly weapon on Ned Licht last July.
He was taken to the city jail, where
his bail was fixed at $2,000, which had
not been secured up to a late hour.
The police say that Lloyd struck Licht
on the head with an iron bar, inflicting
an ugly wound.
Tad Reardon, American light heavy
weight champion, fought a draw with
Joe Willis. Four rounds was the limit
of the go. Fred Ward received the
decision over Dick Cullen. J. L. Gard
ner proved too much for Jack Burke,
delivering \u25a0 a morpheus punch in the
fourth round.* Henry Aboucaya proved
as hard as is his name is to pronounce
and walloped Frank King a punch on
the jaw that sent him down for the
count in the first round.
Frankie Neil, clever* lightweight,
brought himself into the limelight
again by issuing a challenge to Britt
or Nelson for a six round go.
Jimmy Flynn of " Colorado, In a
stentorian voice, told the fight fans
that he was looking for the v scalp of
Burns. This statement from him was
the cause of loud applause. Then tho
real fighting was resumed once more
and M. Angelo.was awarded the wreath
of glory by the umpire in the sixth
round over Jim Homer.
The bouts were witnessed by a large
crowd of fight fans.

THE SAN FBANgISCOv CALL, vSATTJRDAY, SEgTESIBKR 28. 1907;*
the fight by the ; clever work of i tho
champion, who deftly ducked his head
from , side :to side. The quickness and
cleverness jof Burns were a revelationto
Gans.' He tried all of 'his famous blows
and as he missed them ; repeatedly.;' he
3hook his head : in a vexed i manner. For ,
the first * time perhaps he • met ?a i man
whom he could not land on at will and
who commanded his respect by his ;
offensive tactics." There was not a let
up In the fierceness of the fight from
the. first to the last round.
Burns' best' blow /was a left swing
to the jaw, but he seemed to use all !
kinds almost equally as well. Neither!
man appeared badly'hiirt at « the. end
of the fight. Burns walked jauntily
through the ring and was heartily
cheered.. Gans merely smiled his, sat
isfaction.
By winning Gans, retains the cham
pionship and takes $8,000 of the $10,000
purse besides $I.ooo"* training expenses.
Burns . gets $2,000. [; Jeffries , gets $1,000
for acting aa referee. There was not a
vacant chair in the house. ; . • '; fV -•
After the fight Gans said:
"Burns is a better man than either
Britt or Nelson, r could have knocked
him. out several times>.but did not want
to take any chances with such a strong,
rough, awkward fighter, who has a
knockout punch in each hand. He did
not hurt" me. / He .'is" one "of the gamest
men I ever met and a, comer."
Burns said: v * .
"I rushed the fight every second and
believe I should have -had .a' draw. --Only.
Gans 1 cleverness saved- him." •.
Jeffries said:
"Burns has proved himself only sec
ond to Gans in the lightweight class.
He can whip Britt,. Nelson or any other
man of "his weight. He needs only
science and .will improve. The fight
.was one of the best possible."
The men 'fought -at 135 pounds, but
had Burns won under the agreement
the championship would ,have gone
with his victory. The : betting was
10 to 3 on Gans with but little Burns
money In sight. If they should fight
again the odds would be undoubtedly
even. Gans was seconded by- Young
Peter Jackson, Kid North and. "Willie
Keefe. In Burns' corner were Tommy

STEARNS CAR CLIMBS
TO TOP OF MT. TAMALPAIS
Auto Party Travels x Over
Railroad Ties to Reach
Summit
R. R. l'Hommedieu
A few enthusiasts took a Steams
car to the top of Mount Tamalpais yes
terday. , It was the first automobile
that had ever reached the summit.
Twin peaks and other, nearby promi
nent points had been negotiated by the
automobile, but it rested with those
interested in the Steams car to try for
what is considered the highest point
near San Francisco.
Frank Leland; of the Steams com
pany was invited some days ago to
ascend Tamalpais in a car and view,
the Golden gate. The trip was thought
to be impossible save by train. . Le
land announced that he. was willing
to view the beauties of the Golden
gate from the' seat of a Stearn3 car.
There is no wagon road to the summit
and the limit of travel of horses is to
West point, where passengers take the
train from Willow camp.
When Leland. decided, to make the
trip the City motor car company offi
cials made arrangements with ; the
railroad to use the i track for part of
the road. Leland still thought that his
friends were bluffing when *' they told
him that they would take: him to the
top of the mountain : in a. motor car.
The party went over on the 9:45 a. m.
boat yesterday and when they arrived
in Sausalito a Steams car was await
ing their orders. The route ; led • from
Sausalito to Manzanlta, .thence coast
wise to the cliff road and then to Wil
low camp. Before : arriving at the lat
ter place^ the -party took the unused
road through White Gate point 'It is
one of the hardest: grades- in this sec
tion of " the , country. It is fully a 25
per cent grade. Clearing the unused
road the car took the regular road Ito
West point. .Few can 'appreciate that
part of the ride unless they have fol
lowed the course over, which the Dip
sea Indians hold- their annual cross
country runs.' The country has stumped
many local athletes ; and ; until yester
day it was thought -almost impossible
to reach - the ' summit; or \u25a0 half way.Vup
except by fobt.< ;Froni ,- West point it
was .easy running, except where the
car had to be driven over the railroad
ties. v At the summit the, automobillsts
had luncheon.;. When returning • they
sent;the car down by -gravity. .

Little Johnny Hopkins could not ror

plate when the Angel batsmen faced
him with fire. in their 'eyes'; in the third
spasm yesterday. : One, two, three men
walked. Then : Cravath came .along
with -a hit which meant two '.runs.
ThisS practically, broke the -game) up.
for the best Oakland got was a run— a
lucky one at : that. »\
-Why Van Haltren did riot take the
diminutive southpaw off the ' mound
when he .began to go up in a balloon
is more; than anyone in the house
could figure out. Little Johnny stayed
and the Angels got- theirs. : Van kept
warming up : Goodwin . for several
innings, but for some unexplained rea
son did not turn him loose on the firing
line. .-;;\u25a0 :;..: ;;;\u25a0..; v .:. }\u25a0\u25a0-,\u25a0 /:\u25a0*..; :.<\u25a0-:\u25a0 ' 'VV
Dolly Gray : added another to the long
string of victories he has to his credit
this: season. In .every inning he was
steady, as' the old rock of Gibraltar
and when the Oaks threatened to. wade
into ;liis offerings during the last half
of the eighth for a flock of runs, he
rallied in Jig time and shooed the
enemy : back without permitting them
to score.
Hopkins showed signs of wildness
from '..theV outset, but the third inning,
was where r he loomed up strongest in
that line. Bernard, Carlisle, and Dil
lon walked. 'Hopkins tossed 12 1 wide
ones without once splitting the plate.
With the sacks all decorated Cravath
leaned up against one that did not
stop till it hit the right, field fence.
It was enough to, chase the first' two
men in*, and *j gave the Angels a lead
which , the Commuters ,were never able
to overcome. . ' \u25a0 />'
In the fifth 'Carlisle., opened "with' a
pop fly to- Smith in' the left garden.
Jimmy let: the -ball drop through his
mitts and the runner got as far as sec
ond. Dillon's out advanced , him and
again Cravath * came, through /"with a
single, scoring the third one for Los
Angeles.
Oakland broke in once In the sev
enth roundi Van. Haltren laid down a
fast bunt which wiggled its way Into
right field. Dillon,. Bernard and Cra
vath were so eager to grab^the sphere
that they, all neglected the second bag."
Seeing his chance, the old boy quickly
beat the ball there. Eagan died easy,
but Heine Heitmuller. responded with
a: timely clout that sent the Oakland
leader over the Jumps.
:It looked. for a minute as though the
Commuters were about to . stage an
other tragic ' finish In the eighth;-.'Big
bee started " the 1 round with;; a. healthy
.wallop [to center andright behind came'
Devereaux with one y that bora the
same'stamp. The fans howled "for
action and Van Haltren, instead of
sending in an : experienced man. al
lowed Hopkins to go to • the"". bat. The
youngster bunted out. Then Wright
fouled to first and Hogan came "in ;to
wallop in place of Haley. He got a
base on balls and filled '. the ' sacks. It
was yup to: Van " himself to come
through, but the best he did was- to
\u25a0wing his head off at three and hit
none. The score:

Squires and Sullivan Will Meet
Today in CoffrotKs Arena
Bill Squires (upper) and Jack (J '^in) Sullivan, who mill meet
ihis afternoon in a 25 round bout at Coffroth's Mission street artna.
This is the' day that Bill Squires
must show, the \u25a0- sports of San Fran
cisco. .When the hour of 3 o'clock rolls
around the man from Australia, who
has once failed, will shake the right
hand of Jack Twin Sullivan of Bos
ton and the pair will wade Into, each
other at Coff roth's. Mission street arena
in a 25 round battle.
Squires' admirers say that he will
leave the prize ring forever if he fails
to take the measure of ; his j shifty, op
ponent. . In -the; event of being . .re
turned a. winner, they aver that he will
challenge his conqueror, Tommy Burns,
and strive to ' retrieve the laurels he
lost on the fourth of July..
Squires has been pronounced in per
fect physical condition by the students
of the game. -.In fact, he has always
been in shape since he started to train
for, the battle several weeks ago.
Though he failed to show ,any im
provement while boxing, with his spar
ring partner,' Denver Ed Martin, his
friends say that he has skill , enough
to put one over on the jaw, of the Twin
and that one will win the battle for
him. • .
The betting remained the \u25a0 same, 10
to 9, last night, with plenty of money
on both sides. It was figured that
Squires' price would drop a point or
two, but from present indications the
men , will enter the; ring with the odds
unchanged, though there is still a pos
sibility-of Sullivan's ruling a 10 to 8
or 7 choice before the; gong sends them
together.

Both men rested up yesterday after
working faithfully for the last three
weeks or more. The training quarters
of each were fairly thronged by their
numerous admirers and the fighters
passed out the- usual old talk of be
ing In the grandest possible shape.
They assured their backers that they
were there to bring home the coin
without waste of time.
Squires has little to say. He claims
that ajl he wants is a chance to show
the San Francisco public that he can
vflght. He does not like to refer to
his meeting with Burns on our national
holiday. Victory means everything to
him, while defeat means a trip to the
graveyard of pugilism.
Sullivan is like his brother, Mike — a
talker, with words in plenty. He tells
his admirers and air others who con
verse with him that he is going to set
tle the Australian once and for all and
with great rapidity. Sullivan has never
performed - before a San Francisco
crowd, and therefore nobody has a line
on him. He has the reputation of be
ing a clever, shifty fellow with the
gloves. His friends say that if he
cannot put the Australian out ha will
have no difficulty in staying away
from him and winning handily on
points.
The 10 round preliminary between
the local. lightweights, Johnny Murphy
and Johnny Frayne, promises to be a
whirlwind affair. Both boys are fast,
aggressive fighters, who are willing to
swap punch for punch. The betting on
this event is even money and has
proved quite brisk, as both have many
admirers among the fight fans of tha
city. This event will be put on at 2:15
sharp, as the main -attraction is billed
for 3 sharp.' /
Special cars will be run direct to the
arena ron the Mission and Valencia
street lines after noon on a three min
ute headway. Trains will leave the
Third and Townsend street depot at
! 10:30/. 11:30 and 1:40, and Twenty-fifth
and Valencia streets 10 minutes later.
The bleacher box office will' open at
noon and tha main doors will be opened
half an hour later.

STANFORD RUGBY TEAM
TO MEET THE BARBARIANS
Exciting Game Is Promised
on University Grounds
This Afternoon
William Unmack
The Barbarians and Stanford varsity
will play their flrat game at Palo Alto
this afternoon. .Rugby is exciting con
siderable public interest and in college
circles interest is more keen. The
California varsity players will watch
the game as it will give them an op
portunity of getting a line on their
rivals. Stanford will', play the three,
three-quarter system with two, five
eighth men. T fancy the four system
that the Barbarians will play will be
better suited for the varsity.
Both the Barbarians and the varsity
are playir.g the two. three, two scrum
formation with a wins man.
Fenton. last year's successful full
back for the Cardinal wilt asaln be
seen :n that position. One player
whom I very much, farcy as a three
quarter, and who I last year prophe
sied would make- a. first class Rugby
man is Cook. If he gets an opportu
nity today I feel certain that he will
cause the Barbarians trouble.
Miller, who will play wing forward,
is probably the- fastest and most im
proved Rugby player on the team. Ha
Is a big- man and in every respect
suited for the position. Pemberton
and Koerner have been showing up
well in the forwards. In fact, tha
whole varsity pack will be a big asset
to the team in the game today.
The Barbarians are putting their
strongest team into the field and if
all the players selected can take part
it looks to me like a victory for tha
black and whites. There will be a
change in the Barbariar^ team. Browne
"will take Fedeman'a place at full back.
Snediger of the California varsity T^ill
be seen on the Barbarians' three-quar
ter line. It will be Snediger's first im
portant Rugby game and his play will
be watched closely. If he gets well
away with the ball, it will .take a good
tackier to stop him.
Frledlander, a New Zealander at
tending the California varsity, will
also be seen with the Barbarians. He
will play scrum half. He is an expert
in that position.
The\forwarda for Saturday are really
strong, but for all that they will miss
the hard working Buckingham. Sands,
Spence and Price were out of the team
last Saturday and their .presence in
today's scrum will certainly put gin
ger Into the black and white's forward
play. The Barbarians will leave on
the 1:40 train for Palo Alto. The gams
is scheduled for 3i30.
A referee for the contest has not yet
been decided on. but it is probable Mr.
Thomas will have charge of tha
whistle.
The teams in their positions are as
follows:
Stanford varsity— Full back. Fenton; three
quarters, dolman. Vandervoort. Cook: flre
eighths. Owen, Ganons: wia^r forward. Miller;
forwards.- Koerner, Rbjne. Mintnra, Smith. Pem
i berton. Crawford. Tfcorpe.
Barbarians — Fullback. Browne: three-quarters
Saedlsar. " Elliot. Hutton. Pomeroy: halves.
Shanks, Friedlander; wins forward. Price; for
wards. Sands. Spence, Kltson, Wlasor, Fowler.
Uorsfall. Pomeroy.
Barbarian substitutes — Resleure, ' Morerley
Lafferty, McWalters.
