12 THE CALL'S PAGE OF SPORTS 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 The Call's Form Chart of Races at Emeryville Order in which horses figure in The Call Handicap is indicated in black face type.

THE; SAlSFvFI^Nra^ 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- G«orge' Memsic fight, which Powell T#«n. \. . - - . ! ... . ;. - ft VA.\DERBILT SECOND PARIS, May 4. — In the Prix Vernouil, run at-Le Tremblay' today, W. .

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, Phil Want. Charley Eyeton, ' Billy Roche and Jotuiny. Herget." :V» " "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." JOHNSpN FOR 7WELSH 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 sharp : retort, ';.} ; ; : " . - \u25a0-•\u25a0/:';\u25a0/;\u25a0 - •").'! ;do not want Welsh, 1 ' said '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.

Semifinal Game in the . Pool Toarney Bob Allen failed to eliminate E.

Brown, who has* won three straight games, will meet Reynolds tonight. Reynolds and Wilson are on even terms for second place and if Brown should lose to Rey nolds tonight it will make the finish exciting, as both Reynolds and Wilson have lost but one game and have won r,iir" .- B r own ,' TVOuld relinquish first Sj,rt% w-V c ° Uld lOSe to Reynolds, and if Wjlson also took Brown's meas ure on h riday night the playoff would be between Wilson and Reynolds Royal Golf CM -Bars 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. 0 Q Q COHES OLD 29* 2?« 2?» BLOOD TROUBLES The only possible way to <mre Contagious Blood poison is to remova th« Ca T, by P^Sins too Wood- TUa is Ji^t what S.
