SAM HILDRETHS BAND OF CRIPPLES. San Francisco. Cal.. November 19. -S. C. Hildretli is a bit disturbed over the condition of his crack three-year-old. King James. The colt has gone sore in his knees and Hildretli may have to let up on him for a time. King James is the liorse with which Hildretli has hope of winning the Burns Handicap. Hildretli has little hope of getting a race out of Peter Quince, another of his cracks, for months. One of Peter Quinces tendons is iu a very suspicious condition and Hildretli fears that he will break him down if he persists in training him. Nealon is galloping along soundly and the indications are that ho will lie a useful liorse when the mud comes. Mee-licks lameness has disappeared, confirming Hildretli s theory that it was a temporary condition due to a stone bruise. : .
