Carson Violates the Agreement
ond Hawthorne Demands the
Forfeit Money.

The great subject of discussion on
/ Change, in Hawthorne, Is the footrace
next Sunday. The proba 5lity of
| Rosenthal winning has been discussed
from every conceivable standpoint at
least three million tunes, aud still We
are undecided Is 10 how TO place our
bets. The indications are, however.
that a large number will GO to Carson
TO witness the contest. If we all Get
return tickets we'll havS sure thing
on getting home.
Since the above was written the mat
ter has become badly complicated.
The great race of the season. between
Rosenthal and Dobblns, is NOT GER
lainty. According to the agree msnt
the second deposit OF $1,000 was 10 be
made last Saturday. Dobbins failed
TO make the deposit, and says he under
stood he had until Tuesday. On the
other hand, Rosenthal CLAIMS the $500
forfeit, which was nnt up ON The 10Th.
He claims that Dobblns failed 10 de.
post his second $1,000 on time, hence
