Hildreth's Great Annual
Spread-Eagles, Fast Field
in Classic Western Race.
(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.

HANGING UP SIGN
Tommy's System of Admin

to Moir Illustrated.
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. .
