JOCKEY AND HORSE
OWNER SUSPENDED
A. Williams Set Down Indefin
itely; Judges Investigating
J. R. Laughrey Race
A. Williams was in the limelight at
Emeryville yesterday. He rode three
winners, two of them at long prices,
but before the close of the session it
was announced that the colored boy
was suspended for general unsatisfac
tory riding with special reference to J.
R. L.aughrey in the fifth race Tuesday.
The ruling was also accompanied by the
announcement that the entries of F. E.
Baird were ordered refused pending
further investigation as to the causes
for scratching Don Knrique in the race
in which J. It. Laughrey started.
The race in question caused much
comment, particularly owing to the
heavy piay on Aks-a.r-Ben. his recent
races not warranting such confident
support. At one stage of the betting
the Chappell horse was 5 to 1, but he
went to the post at 2 to 1. Miss Naomi
was favorite for the race, while J. R.
Laughrey receded In the betting. When
the field broke Aks-ar-Ben stumbled
and threw Jarrett, the intended coup
thus being spoiled. Steel, an outsider,
won from Merlingo, while Miss Naomi
and J. R. L«iughrey failed to figure
prominently. Several rides put up by
Williams caused criticism, but his per
formance on J. R. L«aiighrey, taken in
connection with the other acts, evoked
the suspension.
Don Knrique would have been a
prominent factor in the race on form
and it is intimated that he ivas with
drawn to make it easier for Aks-ar
Ben. Baird, his owner, bought Silver
Grain and Flavig-ny yesterday. The
three horses named compose his stable.
The officials will make a thorough
investigation of the withdrawal of Don
Enrique and the showing made by sev
eral of the starters in the race.
Fern L Wins Cleverly
Fern L, beat some of the cleverest
sprinters on the coast when she won
the feature event at Emeryville yester
day. Goldfinn. on the strength of her
recent brilliant form, was a heavily
played favorite for the race, which
was over the Futurity course. Fern L
ruling second choice. A. Thomas beat
the gate with Fern L and she was never
headed. Goldfinn made a very disap
pointing showing under the bad han
dling of Mentry. She. failed to show the
speed exhibited when it came to the
real racing. The last time out she had
run six furlongs in 1:13 4-5.
Close finishes and the success of sev
eral outsiders were other features of
the day. A. Williams, who was sus
pended indefinitely, rode three winners.
Good Intent, the favorite, went to the
front early in the second, but stopped
badly when caught by Hannibal Bey in
the last quarter. Woodlander chal
lenged Hannibal Bey, but he stood off
the drive of the Cahill gelding. The
\u25a0well supported Odd Rose was third.
Marburg went to the post an odds on
favorite for the third at a mile. He
and Round and Round fought it out all
the way, but Bevan went to pieces on
the latter and it looked as if Marburg
would win, but Aftermath stole up on

OAKLAND BANISHES
15 ROUND FIGHTS
Police and Fire Commissioners
Intimate 10 Sessions Will
Be Boxing Limit
OAKLAND, May 4. — No more 15
round fights in the city of Oakland was
the implied ultimatum laid \ down by
the police and fife commissioners this
morning when the West Oakland ath
letic club was given. a permit to hold a
boxing exhibition May 24. The longest
bout on the card will be 10 rounds, the
preliminaries four and six.
Mayor Mott expressed his views on
the game as conducted in this city
when the permit came up, explaining
that he had no. doubt that the boi.v»
were legally conducted and the safety
of tho contestants safeguarded, but
said he thought longer fights put the
boxers In jeopardy.
"A man who goes 15 or 20 rounds
surely gets tired," said the mayor, "and
is at the mercy of the hard blows he
may receive. I think long contests
should not be staged." • .
"We have no desire to stop amateur
bouts or to stamp out. legitimate box
ing'contests," said City Engineer Tur
ner, "but I. think four or six round
bouts are long enough."
The city ordinances limit glove con
tests to 15 rounds, but from the'atti
tude »of the commissioners it seems
improbable. that the legal limit will be
permitted in Oakland. In recent years
only one 15 round fight has taken place
here. t This " was the Lew Powell-

Graney, Smith and Welsh Are in Line
to Land the Coveted Position
WILLIAM J. SLATTERY
The referee for the Jeffries-Johnson -battle will be named officially on the.
afternoon of May 16 or later.
This was the announcement made yesterday afternoon at" the much talked
of conference at the Seal Rock house, where most of the principals had gath
ered for the purpose of selecting the official to serve on the afternoon of
July 4. As usual at such gatherings, there was a whole lot of talk, but no!
action. Each side sent in the names of men agreeable. and the other side
promptly objected, as is customary at such functions. At the finish it looked
to be a contest between Eddie Smith'of Oakland and Eddie Graney and Jack
Welsh of San Francisco. \u25a0'
Johnson is holding out for Welsh and Graney, while Bergcr, representing
Jeffries, stands by Smith. Johnson apparently does not care to allow Berger
to do the dictating and Bergcr is equally determined not to allow the big
colored chap to name the third man in the ring. The promoters, Tex Rickard
and Jack Glcason, have nothing whatever to do with the selection of this
important official, unless the principals fail in their efforts to name him. Then
it will be up to the promoters, but it goes without saying that they will not
take this step till all hope is abandoned.
PASS THE DEMOSTHENES STUFF
Both Johnson and Bergcr got away with. a lot of repartee. They sparred
forVind, sidestepped the rushes of eloquence which wafted through theroom
and hold on every time an inspiration*--
flitted through their brains. But there
seemed to be no chance of their reach
ing an agreement. This could readily
he seen just as soon as they sat down
and began to talk. Nobody was at all
surprised when they parted without
making a selection.
Whether the referee has already been
selected at a previous secret session is
a question to be; determined later- on.
There are many who believe that the
principals are playing horse with the
public for the sake of a little additional
advertising on an entirely new lino.
However, If they were stalling yester
day they did their work very well and
are entitled to all the creditin the
world for that particular stunt.
BERGEII OPEXS FESTIVITIES
: Berger opened it up by saying that
he was anxious to have the question of
the referee settled without further hag
gling- or stalling and suggested that
Johnson name the men whom he really
wanted. Berger addedthat it would be
useless for each of them ; to" start by
stringing out a whole line'of names and
then beginning >all over again and
weeding them out.
"All right,", cut in Johnson. "You
name the men you want. If they are
not" suitable to me, I . will ; tell you arid
explain to you the^reason why they are
not-acceptable tdtmS^ This is the best
and easiest way."*s;., , \u25a0
; '"Very well," replied .Berger. ."I will
name just one, and I suggest that we
get a California referee, for it is com
ing to California to have this official."
"That suits me," said Johnson. "Now
you go ahead and name the man or men
you- want* and I will tell youhow I
stand." , \u25a0
"Well, here are the men, whom I
like," went on Berger/ "Eddie Smith,

"I can't stand for ; Eyetoh," "replied
Johnson. "He comes from Jeffries',
home town, Los, Angeles.- Neither can
I stand for Wand, because I saw, him
give Joe Walcott, a colored fellow,' the
worst of it one night with Carter."

Berger then asked Johnson to start
in and he came -back with 'Welsh. >
Then Jeffries', manager accused the
champion of using his race as a stall, to
get. the. best of* it in ithe deal., Johnson
intimated that he\wduld4have to' look
sharp; in order .to protect, himself be
cause of his color. Bergerdid not 1 like
this remark and came back- with his

why I am objecting to Welsh," broke in
Berger.
"Well, I am holding out for Graney
and Welsh and I will continue to hold
out for them," was Johnson's reply to
Berger' s charge.
"Gentlemen. *as you know the "articles
call for the selection of. a referee on
May 4 by the principals." broke in
Gleason at this juncture. "Now. if you
can not ; agree on the referee, the . club
will name him and you will have to
stand for this man."
This little speech brought the black
champion to hie feet in. an instant.
"If the club names Berger's man
there will be no fight on the fourth of
July," broke in big Jack, bringing his
clenched fist down upon the table with
a resounding thud, which seemed to
startle everybody.
Gleason then suggested that the prin
cipals postpone their, meeting till the
afternoon of May 16 when the referee
must be named : or else the promoters
will step in and take : a hand at the
little game. Both Johnson and Berger
agreed to 'this.; each admitting that
there was a . deadlock ' and that there
would be no, chance to reach an agree
ment; at that -particular session. But
after the . adjournment each kept dig
ging, at. the other. :\u25a0' •. :
JOHNSON'S: FIFTY -CHOICES • -
Berger said something about nam
ing a -good man and Johnson replied
that he could' name: so of them. \u25a0 '
"Well, why don't you go aheaVT and
name, them,"* retorted- Berger. 'Ter
haps one of them- will /suit me and
then we will?, talk business. :
"I know that none of them will suit
you," replied Johnson.
"Well, why not?" —
"Because vthey are all smokes," and
the big fellow -.smiled another golden
smile, while -the . crowd broke into a
hearty laugh at Berger's expense."

Mallet Type
NEW YORK, May 4.— The Royal and
Ancient golf club of St. Andrew's, the
court of last resort for British golfers
has adopted a resolution authorizing
the rules of golf committee to add to
the rules a clause which will declare
that all clubs with heads of mallet
type are a substantial departure from
the traditional and accepted form and
make of golf clubs. This would bar
the use of the "Schenectady putter."
an American club which enjoys great
popularity among the English golfers
The decision of the Royal and Ancient
golf club is likely to lead to consider
able controversy.
