Gossip About Event* of National
Importance and the Person*
Who Are In the Head
Liner Classes.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. t>. — Ac
cording to A1 Dobson, the prominent
turf official, plans are almost com
plete whereby a thoroughbred circuit
will be in operation in the west next
spring.
A bill for pari-mutuel form of wag
ering, with limited meetings will bo
introduced in Washington, and if it
goes through there will be an an
nouncement of dates, with Seattle and
Spokane as the nucleus and possibly
Idaho and California.
Another proposal that has been
made for the best interests of the
breeding industry is for the light har
ness and thoroughbred horsemen to
get together and work in harmony.
For years past they have been rivals.
The old programmes of mixed trot
ting and running races were tried at
the state fair and other meet9 last
season and were said to have worked
out successfully.
With a view to organizing one of
the biggest and best sulky circuits
California has had in years, track
owners and managers of race meet
ings are being urged to get together
next month and map out plans for
the J317 season. Attention has been
called to the benefits to be derived
from early action.
During the season just closed there
were nine associations in the Golden
Gate that promoted successful meet
ings. Assurance is given that the
same associations will he back on
the circuit next season, with the addi
tion of several others. The call has
been issued for those associations to
senu representatives to a meeting,
where it would require only a few
hours' work to arrange a program and
dates.
Horsemen would know what was in
sight for the season, and would pur
chase horses and develop their young
standard breds with that in mind, it
is also expected that horses would be
attracted from the Northwest and
neighboring states, all of which would
draw more entries and make for bet
ter racing attractions.
It is said the trouble in the past
has been that the promoters have put
off making their announcements un
til the last minute and there has been
no organization among them. This
has had the effect of keeping the
horsemen uncertain as to what to pre
pare for. In some cases California
owners and trainers are said to have
made entries in other circuits that
had already announced their plans
The thoroughbred promoters rea
lize the value in forming their circuit
early.
Some interesting statistics of the
Pacific Coast League season of 1916
have been figured for those who fol
low the fortunes of the various teams
in this circuit:
Fifty-nine games were won and lost
in the ninth inning, and here Los An
geles showed her championship class
to the best advantage, winning more
and losing fewer games in the ninth
frame than any other club; Los An
geles won 14 games in the ninth; Ver
non won 11; Portland, 10; Salt Lake
and San Francisco 9 each, and Oak
land was last with 6. On thj other
side of the slate, Oakland also showed
tail-end class, losing more ninth In
ning games than any other club—14.
Salt Lake and Vernon each lost 11
games in the ninth; San Francisco,
9: Portland, 8; Los Angeles, 6.
Out of the 127 double plays that
were started from the outfield during
the season, 60 were started by out
fielders, with Maggert, of Los An
geles, just nosing out the field for first
honors. Maggert finished in front
with 13 double plays started. Quinlan
was a good second with 12 double kill
ings started.
Bodie, of San Francisco, and Mat
tick of Vernon, were next in line, each
with 9 double plays started from cen
ter field. Los Angeles outfielders
started 28 doubles, Salt Lake 23, San
Francisco 22, Oakland 19, Vernon 19,
and Portland 16.
Followers of football express the
opinion that the decisive beating that
Stanford University received at the
hands of Santa Clara University in
their annual game will postpone, for
another season at least, any further
| agitation regarding a change from the
• English Rugby to the American inter
collegiate style of game. That the
Palo Altaons will want to retrieve
that defeat before abandoning the
gume is the general belief.
The contest has aroused no end of
talk and discussion. Those who are
most anxious for the return of the Car
dinals to the American game declare
that the heavy score against Stanford
was due in a large measure to a lack
of unity and spirit at the university,
where there is a decided division of
opinion as to which game should be
adopted.
That Santa Clara, a minor institu
tion, which in the past has been de
feated regularly by Stanford by heavy
Bcores, should suddenly reverse the
process is <aken as an indication that
all is not as it should be with Dr. Wil
bur's young men, a large proportion
of whom are having forced upon them
a sport in which their interest has
waned since all the other coast teams,
with the exception of Santa Clara,
have returned to the American game.
