(Haant News by LMgesl Iaaa Win.) San Francisco,, Cal, . Jan.; 25. On a coarse that closely resembled the street of an Arkansas village at the break of spring, the classic Burns handicap waa raced at Emeryville today before thou- sanas oi speoiaiora. .. . Like a bolt from the blue came Mont gomery making the others appear as chevala en passant as he steadily In creased the distance that separated him from his rivals, until like a wlll-o'-the- wlsp, he flashed paat tne post a win ner of $7,090 and aa many plaudits. Clamor stole second and Rifleman shot Into an easy third position. Hildreth's Montgomery waa selling at 2 to 1 In the market, and probably many of those that bought pasteboards nn him hal mora than a nasslna mis giving about . cashing. ' For In all the pravloua 14 runnings of the Burns only one favorite had won. And, to make matters look more hopeless, quite a number Of Montgomery supporters re membered that no, winner of the classic bad ever carried aa much aa 128 pounds. The winner came under the wire with Dunn tuaaina hard to slow him up. Clamor waa half a dosen lengths away. The race was lacaing in spectacular Interest, inasmuch as Montgomery so far outclassed his field that there was never any doubt of his winning after taking the lead in the first sixteenth. Results at Emeryville: 81x furlongs Mansard (Scovllle, 4 to 6, won: Tawasentha (Hayes), second; Curriculum (Sandy) third; time, 1:17.

For many moons the American sports have wondered how Tommy Burns hung the sleep sign on Gunner Molr, the big quince "of the British navy. Just how Tommy did the trick will be seen In the animated moving pictures which are being shown on the coast at the present time. ' The pictures printed to day were taken from the slides and portray the exciting momenta of the great International contest.' Many have held Burna to be of poor championship quality, and have ridi culed his action In the ring. They say that he is not a duke in the realm where Jim Jeffries is king, but his fight In the London ring on December 2, last, haa shown him to be a pugilist of some class. When Burns returns to America the scoffers may be ellenoed for It Is a two to one shot that the title-holder will chase the , present aspirants to the bushes. . won; Clamor (W.
