STOKES, F. CARTAN. -Stewart Photo With a number of friends and well-wishers seeing them off four athletes representing the Reliance Club departed for Portland last 8unday night. These boys are to represent Oakland and the Reliance Club In the try-outs in the northern city for the Olympic games, which will be held In London this summer. O.

J. Anloff the champion middleweight wrestler of the coast will try his hand at the grappling game against the best athletes that the northland can muster. Frank Brownell Is entered In the 1SS pound wrestling class and his friends think that he will come back a winner. Larry Stokes, the boy who boxed Joe of tralrers and sparring partners I or nis worn ir whoTct'd as trainer in chief during the past few fights, will be replaced by Ned Moe Kid Lafevette, who was the official laugh-maker as well as tie sparing" partner, will be side-stepped far Joe Willis, the Vellejo heavy-weight. Manager Connor is In hopes of Ketchel putting the larger of the twins aw.r and no expense or cars Is to be spared In an endeavor to send the youngster Into the rlna- athla very best.

Sullivan has been working In gymnasium at Knnon the past month, doing light work every day to keep the weight Item creeping up on him. and as ha Is at the present time hovering around 160 founds he should make the weight with ease when he commences to dry out. vLanders and Frayne. A contest that should attract considerable attention among the the light-weights Is the bout that Is to precede the Attell-Sulll-van twenty-round affair on the lHh of this month. It would hardly be fair to call this contest a preliminary for Luke Marrisch tn staging hia show Is giving more money for this contest than many of the best of the light-weights have fought for.

Sullivan and Attell are. of course the greatest attraction, but when the time of the battle approaches the betting and interest In the Landers -Frayne contest will run it a close race. The fading of the light-weights has made It particularly interesting to tch the work of any of the coming boys of that class, and' surely If one or the other of these boys should win by a knock-out ha should be In line for the best we hava tn that division. The public being more exacting from a pugilist who has had a few years evperienre In the ring, will demand that Landers knock Frayne out before they till agree that he Is capable of beating the good ones, and It Is up to Fred to rove that he Is a punishing hitter by so doing. With Frayne.

If he Is able to win decisively, although tha contest goes the limit. It will boost his stock, for he is the novice and will not be expected to show tha class that lenders should. Both boys have boxed together tn the training gymnasium whUa training for past contests, and the confidence that each haa would make It appear that the men must be evenly matched. Flynn Won't Do. We must forever cut Jim Flynn out as a championship possibility, or even a fighter of the first class, for after two trlea at "Battling" Jo.inson.

one of tha Jokes of the old four-round division In San Francisco, he has failed each time to deliver the goods as a first-class fighter should. Johnson started several times in Ban Francisco, but Bob Ward and Joe Willis each trimmed him and many other fighters of the fourth class held their own with him. Flynn can neither be a hitter or much of a fighter when this fellow Is able to make a good showing with him both times. Johnson's tier. Jack Johnson, the big colored fighter, offers to bet 82SOO that ha can stop Tommy Burns In twenty rounds, and is willing to fight for a percentage of tha gate receipts that would be paid to see the contest.

Tommy Burns Is In England and wrltea that he Is still picking -lemons and that he will stay there as long as tha crop lasts. He also says that ha will fight Johnson, but Insists that ha get a 830.004 purse, win. loss or draw. In a contest with the negro. No one can blame tha champion for getting' the easy money that he is In England, for we would ail do the same thing ourselves were we placed tn tha same position, but tha demand for 110.004 for a contest Is out of tha question, and to the outsider It looks to be a barrier to tha contest that cannot be over OAKLAND BASEBALL CLUB HAS MADE 00OD SHOWING 'Cubs9 Give Promise of Finishing VJell Up in the Coast League Pennant Race.

O. Bed well's consistent and useful bread-winner. Pajaroita. recorded his third straight victory when he romped home In the Isle City handicap, the feature of yesterday's program at Williams Park. This event attracted enly a quartet of speedy apr Inters, of mhlch the winner was made favorite at 13 to 14.

and this price on a horse which figured ss well as this one It eee-mrd a shame to take the money. Miller, which by the way. broke the Ice for the talent In this race, had only to sit still end win with esse. Native Son closed resolutely and out-gamed the poorly ridden Burleigh for second honors. Pace too hot for Burning Bush.

The drlrxllng rain which fell continually throughout the afternoon only worked a sliRht change In the track conditions snd attendance and a large crowd of regulars was on hand. Wily Barney Schrelber and the wise few slipped one over on the unsuspecting talent In the first race, when Banonlca played from 29 to 1 down to 10. sailed home an easy winner: Lackfoot was also meant but falterej a trifle whenj the pinch rame. easily taking the place from Cuernavaca.

To Imagine that betting "per se" can ever be suppressed la absurd. In all probability the best and perhaps the only real remedy for the admitted evils which follow In the train of gambling is to teach people the essential folly, not to say Immortality, of accepting In stocks, horses, cards or what you will, anything less than the real odds.

Ed Walter has him at the St. Francis Hospital In San Kranolsco and has the most expert medical attention caring for the newcomer that money can procure.

The break in the leg that the young, ster sustained In the game In the city last Saturday is worse than waa first expected, and Scruggs la due for a prolonged rest In the San Francisco hospital to which he Is now confined. The Injury to Scruggs may mean a new line up for the "Cubs." Ed Walter Is now thinking of putting Hogan on third and Cooke on first. Cooke Is a natural first baseman, while Ho I 1-1 l.n i fcatl i-riim kuk iay miij I on the Infield with unneua! skill, When Smith's Injured foot rounds to It Is more than likely that he will bo back In left, while Cooke will be 1 switched to first base and Ilogan given a trial at third. aw That Johnny Hopkins Is a useful man to the Oakland Club has been demonstrated In every game In which the little fellow has worked. Hopkins haa a very deceptive delivery, and Is practically Invincible to left and hitters.

If Johnny had a little more weight and strength he would make good material tor one of the big league clubs. However, Johnny's slxe or rather lack of slxe. does not Interfere with his pitching ability. Right now he is the most consistent left hander In the league. He showed that he could not -only go a route, but that he liked it In that recent seventeen tnnlng game, and he did not Wri plain at losing that contest.

His only lament was that the game was taken away from him Umpire O'Connell and handed over to the Seals as a gift on a silver platter. Oakland Team Loses Match SAN FRANCISCO. April 22.
