Oldfield Has Scruples
THAT CHANGE PLANS FOR LOCAL AUTO MEET
Against Sunday facing
Barney Olflfled's scruple* against
Sunday racing necessitates a change
in the program of the big auto meet
scheduled for El Paso.
Instead of two days’ sport then
will l>e only one afternoon of speeding
and the events that were originally
planned tor Sunday and Monday will
have to be crowded Into a single af-
ternoon.
Oldfled has never appeared on Sun-
day only when It was necessary ami
of late he has absolutely refused to
break Ihe Sabbath day, even so much
as to give an exhibition.
Obeys Mother’s Wishes.
Barney has a dear old mother up
In Ohio who believes it is wrong to
race automobiles on Sunday and
while the great "king of speed” Is nor
so strenuously opposed to the pas-
time of auto speeding on the sabbath
day, he does believe in observing hi -
mother’s wishes.
In calling off the Sunday program
Oldfield makes a financial sacrifice as
many could attend the meet Sunday
afternoon who cannot get away Mon-
day.
On the other hand there are a great
many horsemen and others In Cl Paso
who could not attend the Sunday's
program hut who will he able to get
away to attend the meet Monday.
Program to Start Early.
In order that all the events may be
Ben Kerscber the German champion
who will Is* brought to El Paso to op-
pose the great driver.
Oldfield and Keracher Clash.
Oldfield am! Korsijber will eiosh
in a two out of three heat race and
with a car t- at will hold the shj't
sharp turns as well as Oldfield's big
powerful Benz and with almoR as
much horse power as Barney. The
Dutchman ought to give the great
driver
over.
Only Two Favorites
Finish First In Juarez
The second week-of the first winter
, nv*eting of the Juarez Jockey club
: opened auspiciously yesterday when
a fair crowd saw some close and
interesting racing. Seven books con-
tinued in the ring and all report a
brisk play of the six events carded
yesterday.
Bad Day for Favorites.
It was a bad day for favorites as
only two went under the wire first
and one of them. Gibson in the first
was an equal choice with Hands

it is lightening fast. The manage-
ment of the jockey club has been go-
ing slow with the track in order to
make it perfectly sale. A track when
it is new has a tendency to develop
holts and this makes the track ex-
-
ceedingly dangerous. The officials of
the jockey club have taken particular
palna to avoid this and consequently
the track Is not as fast right now as
It could have been had they gone
ahead with speed the only end in
view.
The First Race.
The first race yesterday was a 6
furlong gelling affair and nine horses
faced the barrier. In the betting Gib-
son, Hands Around and Deuce serf
all held at fours with Chian Belle
and SalMdo at sixes and the others
at eight and ten. They were off to
a good start and Pickens on Hollow
Immediately sent his mount to the
front. Passing the quarter Hollow
was leading, with Gibson and Hands
Around two lengths away and In the
order named. Rounding the far turn
Hollow still held the same advantage
over the field, but Hands Around bad
taken second place with Gibson third.
As they straightened out for home.
Hollow was still leading but Hands
Around had his nose at her throat-
latch with Gibson two lengths back.
Hpllow quit to a walk in the run
home but Gibson and Hands Around
fought It out to the wire, the former
getting the verdict by a half length
with John Sparks third.
The 8econd Race.
The second race brought out a field
of eight two year olds and was one
of the best betting affairs of tbe day.
In tbe opening betting Delt and Dave
Montgomery were the choices at 13
to 5 -while Rustem and Kyle opened
at three. A tremendous play develop-
ed on Kyle and he went to the post
favorite at two, while Rustem remain-
ed steady at threes. Seven to two

time while 6 to 1 could be had against
Dave Montgomery. As to the run-
ning of the race, the favorite had no
chance and ran a miserable race. The
laat time she started she won in a
gallop over a good field but yesterday
that speed was noticeable for Its ab-
sence. On his last appearance he
ran without gandages, but yesterday
his four feet were wrapped with band-
ages. This no doubt had a lot to do
with his race yesterday and no doubt
would make a nice subject for investi-
gation. Garner got Lad/ Panchlta off
second in a straggling start and Im-
mediately sent his mount to the front
to set the pace with Delf in second
position. Deif moved up rounding the
far turn and when they were straight-
ened out for home he was leading by
a head with Lady Fanchita second and
the favorite third four lengths away.
In the run to the wire, Delf had things
rather easily, winning as she pleased
by two lengths with Lady Panchlta
second, while Rustem beat the favor-
ite for third place by two lengths. The
time for this race was exceedingly
fast, the 5 1-2 furlongs being in
1:09 3-5,', the best time of the meet-
ing. j

Goldflnn and Ethel day closed at sixes
while the prices against the others
ranged from seven to fifteen to one,
going under the wire an easy winner
by four lengths. Hannah Louise the
favorite followed the pace closely all
the way around and was jnst as easy
a second, with Gladys Louise third.
The field was strung out for quite a
distance at the finish of the event.
The Fourth Race.
The fourth race was another 6 fur-
long affair and as In the previous
event eight starters faced the barrier.
Hancock opened favorite In this event
at 7 to 5 with Charlie Doherty second

turning into the stretch was leading

ond and Rounder third. From there
home High Culture had things her
own way winning easily by two
lengths but the next three finished
almost on even terms. The judges
gave Henry Mann second place, Gon-
dola third and Rounder fourth.
The Last.
The last race of the day was over
the mile course and eight starters
faced ,the barrier in this event. Ban-
bury and Bonnie Prince Charlie open-
ed equal choices at 8 to 5 and both
went to the poHt at twos, with Ban-
bury in most demand. Giles-opened
at 4 and closed at fives while Dr.

WORK TOGETHER
American League Baseball
Managers Unit for Short-
er Schedules.
Chicago, Dec. 7.—Ban B Johnson,
president of the American league, de-
clared tonight that the American
league magnate would be a unit at the
New York meeting next week for a
short session schedule and shorter
games.
"The most important points to be
considered," said President Johnson,
• wiJI be a shorter schedule and shorter
games. The pitcher should be made
to quit killing time. VY> will try to
do awaV with the practice of letting
the pitcher throw four balls to the
catcher unless the pitcher has just
been to bat. As for the schedule I am
in favor of making It as short ae pos-
sible. Last year when the question
came up seven of the American league
owners were in favor of 140 games,
while the eighth wanted 154 ganrns.
As a matter of fact the American
league schedule ibut for .harmony's
sake and to save muddling the
schedule we compromised on 154
games,”
