DUGAN FORMER
h. D. T. NOW HE
IS A RICH MAN
Sacramento, Cal., March 7.—From
sn Oakland A. ID. T. messenger boy,
with a per week salary attached
to the premier jockey of the country
Is the brief achievement of Eddie Du-
Run in four short years. During that
Hi me lie has built up a reputation that
reaches in nearly every quarter of the
globe where sport of the thorougbred
holds sway, and he has earned a for-
tune estimated approximately at over
$100,000.
This 18-yoar-old boy is put forth
today a's one of the flnishod artists
America has developed in the saddle,
aud his performances at Emeryville
are certainly in a class by them-
selves. The reason for Dugan's bril-
liant success on the turf is very
simple, When the little fellow tells
you that he loves the sensation of
race riding lor 'his own pleasure. The
fascination of the turf has taken hold
of the clever <pilot and he goes about
his work with a determination and
earnestness that is really more a rec-
reation than a stern, moneymaking
occupation.
Though Game Fortune is smiling on
Dugan now in all her brilliancy, there
was a time that tihe messenger boy
was treading a thorny path on his way
to success He had to work hard to
learn tihe art of handling a thorough-
bred. When Eddie was serving his
apprentice days lie very often dis-
couraged his admirers by his ungain-
ly saddle work, and at least two
stable owners passed him along the
line after coming to the decision that
■he never would amount to anything
as a Jockey.
"I think it Wiis more the tricks of I form an opinion of Tommy's fighting
fate than anything else," began Du- ibility.

MURPHY SORE ON THE
WEST AND GOES EAST
San Francisco, March 7.—Harlem
Tommy Murphy has turned the doaf
ear to the local match DU kers ana
will leave for his home In the East.
This move on Murphy's part indi-
cates a complete change of heart,
c, hen he arrived hero some weekt
.go the train for Moran, he said h<
lilted to "break tnto the game in
3an Francisco." lie felt that he was
possessed of top-notch mettle and as
lie has been hampered in the East
through bouts being limited to ten
rounds, he thought his chance would
be brighter in San Francisco, where
Nelsons do all their championship
the Ad Wolgasts and the Battling
milling.
Manager Oliver spoke In a similar
strain when he came to town. He
said lie hoped the public would not
regard Tommy as a lad who wished
to grab a piece of money and hasten
back whence he came. Tommy, said
he, looked to a long career of use-
fulness in this section. He wanted
to stay here and grow up with the
other forty-five rounders
Hut now Tommy has bought him a
ticket for New York and tne best
reason advanced for his hasty leav-
ing that, he is "80ft at the news-
papers."
It will be remembered that when
Tommy boxed Owen Moran a few
nights ago at Dreamland, the local
critics were a unit in declaring that
Referee Eddie Smith was guilty of
an error of judgment when he decided
in Murphy's favor. There never was
an occasion in pugilism on which the
papers so truly reflected public opin-
ion for the belief that Moran was
entitled to a draw was so unanimous.
To gratify his wrath he has given
up all idea of breasing into the
championship game and Is going
back home. It is a pity, in a way,

That tho Philadelphia National
league club realizes it made a big
mistake when Pitcher Frank Corri-
don was traded to Cincinnati is evi-
dent from efforts that Manager Char-
ley Dooin is making to get the Car-
dinal twirler bacic.
Philadelphia opened negotiations
with Clark Griffith of Cincinnati a
short time after Corrldon and Cova-
leskie were traded for Bob Ewing an<l
Addle Brennan.a youngster from Wlch
ita. Kan. Griff turned a deaf ear to
Dooin's pleadings.
Since Corrldon hae been passed
along to the Caj'dltva^s the Phil;*
delphia management has made over-
tures to Manager Brosnahun for the
former Philadelphia star. Corrldon
figured in tlie deal which sent Fred
Beebe and Alan Storke to Cincinnati
nnd brought "Rebel" Oakes, Miller
Muggins and the spitball pitcher here.
Dooin has offered Bresnahan three
players for Corrldon. While the
Phillle trio's names have not been
made public, Joe Ward, second bnse-j
man; Pitcher Frank Sparks and a
young Infielder are believed to have
been the bait hung out for Roger
to nibble at.
But Roger refuses to even cast a
shy glance at the offering It Is re-
ported that Dooin has informed Hres-
nahan that If the bait is not sufficient
to tempt him to part with his new
pitcher, Philadelphia will make other
offers for Corrldon.
Roger can't see any trade that In-
volves Corrldon. He has been wait-
ing and waiting for a seasoned pitch-
er of the caliber of Corrldon. Now

in the Oakland public schools. I was
a good scholar for a spell, but along
about the time I reached the sixth
grade I grew tired of books and mus-
ty volumes of wisdom and ran away.
T landed a job as a messenger boy, and
it was quite a long time before the
folks learned of the switch.
"I slipped in the gates at the track
one morning bright and early, and the
first man I struck was 'Babe' O'Con-
ner. I gave him a big talk, for I
was pretty breezy as the result of
my messenger force experience, and
I went to work galloping horses. I
nearly bounced off the first morning

and was doing nicely, when a month
later I switched over to Keene Bros.'

"L . T. Lee took me down to his
ranch shortly afterward, and I qlcked
up a deal of valuable information.
He promised to give me my first con-

match makers In San Francisco are
bidding against one another for the
privilege of handling a "Battling Nel

promoters say, however, that it is
simply the business sagacity of N°l-
son's manager. John R. Robinson, that
is asserting itself.
The laieof is that .Tim Griffen of-
fered $10,000 for the match. The
truth of the matter is that Griffen
replied hv telegraph, "I understand
vou entered an agreement with Louis
Blot before you left and T don't want

Corridon hints that it may havo
been his friendship for "Billy" Mur-

that resulted in his transfer. He
and Murray were as thick as two
peas in a pod. /Dooin, on the s-pur of
the moment, may have thought that
the elimination of Corridon from tho

troubled waters. But now he thinks
that Corrldon'® return would settle

selected by our Advisory Board after a very careful study of the sev-
eral hundred ideas submitted.
It was a very difficult matter to decide, a* many extremely clever
suggestions were sent. in. In making this decision there were many
points to be considered and we had to be especially careful to select a
design which could be used for Newspaper Advertising, on folders,
letterheads, business cards, on our cars and for the varied uses to
which a Trade Mark is put.
We also had to consider the essential features of the design from
the standpoint of the engraver and printer. One suggestion would be
pleasing to the eye from tho standpoint of symmetrical lines and beau-
tiful figures, but would not be practical for making a xino etching
for reproduction in the newspapers. Another would make a beautiful
magazine cover in four or fivo colors, but when put on a letterhead
or business card in one or two colors, would have been entirely im-
practicable. Many of the suggestions submitted resembled too closely
the Trade Marks of other transportation companies and for that rea-
son could not bo considered.
The design selected Is thoroughly practical, distinctive and ap-
propriate. Wo desire to congratulate Miss McClintic on her good luck
in striking the right idea, and also to thank our many friends for their
hearty interest In the contest.
