The outlook for several we'll contested
football games in the very near future is
very encouraging. San Diego has organ
lied club, and the leather chasers OF
the Bay'nclimate are very enthusiastic.
What is the matter with reorganizing
the old Los Angeles club and trying the
calibre OF the San Diegans? A league
could be formed without any particular
effort. The trouble in this city. how
ever, is the lack of suitable grounds
There are enough expert players in Los
Angeles to organize two clubs. OF
course, the games would have to be
played under the Intercollegiate rules,
as the Rugby union game has seen it's
day-in this country at least. A good
organization could do wonders in popu-
larizing football in Southern California
Next to la crosse, it is he most fascinat-
ing and interesting game in the world

familiar with the intricacies and expert
tricks that 60 towards making football a

At meeting Of the Southern Califor-
MIA Kennel club, it was decided to hold
the annual bench show beginning April
18th. This association has good sized
bank account, and ii appears to be the
show on much more elaborate scale
than heretofore. John Davidson has
been secured as the Judge of the three
shows to be held at Los Angeles, San
Francisco and Denver respectively,
John Davidson lives in the state of
Michigan and judged the first dog show
ever held in America.
Harry Payne has made another pur-
chase. Recently he bought from Mr..
Chewning of Manitoba the setter bitch
Lilly G.. Lilly c.. is by Gable out OF
Winnipeg Belle. Lilly G. is thoroughly
field trained and is very handsome.
It is almost settled fact that Stam-
boul will be started in the free-for-alls
at the grand circuit meetings in the
east. The great Los Angeles stallion
will in all probability be manipulated
by Orrin Hickok, who gave him his
mark of 2:11.
By the way, one of the most aristo-
cratically bred youngsters in the United
States will be sold at public auction at
the Rose sale, to be held in New York
in March. / refer to the unnamed son
OF Stamboul and Minnehaha. Mascot
and Baron Rose, the only two brothers
OF this sensational youngster, brought
fabnlously large prices at previous
sale held by Mr.. Rose, and only few
weeks since Baron Rose was awarded
the blue ribbon at the national
horse show. at New York over
the shapeliest and best bred
two-year-old stations on exhibition.
The youngest son OF Stamboul and Min
nehaha is, in the opinion of good judges,
the grandest looking trotter ever bred
by l.. ]. Rose. This young scion of the
best trotting blood in the country ia
destined to make a record tor himself.
Mr.. Rose, why not name the youngster
Los Angeles? He is production OF
this county, and there is no trotting
horse Of that name. In years to come
Eos angeles would share in the glory, if
the last and best son of Stamboul and
Minnebaha were named after this
county.
The Dempsey -Fitzsimmons fight is
creating no end Of excitement in pugil-
istic circles. Dempsey is sure to be
big favorite in the betting. The mstter
of superiority is to be decided at New
Orleans on Wednesday night. Follow
ers of pugilistic matters anticipate one
of the hardest battles on record. Demp-
sey has never suffered defeat in his
class. Once only has he been knocked
out. La Blanche did the trick, but un-
fortunately for the erratic French
Canadian, he stepped into the
ring three pounds above the
middle-weight mark. Many admirers
of Dempsey put his defeat down to
chance blow. Probably it was another
chance blow La Blanche gave Mike
Lucie. If it was, it must be admitted
that La Blanche had a happy faculty of
getting in chance blows. Would La
Blanche have gotten in chance blow
on Dempsey in 1886, 1856 or 1887, when
he was Nonpareil Jack Dempsey? I
guess not. When Dempsey was bested
by La Blanche he was not the Jack
Dempsey that worsted Fogarty, La
Blanche or Regan. To my thinking,
Dempsey was on the down grade, and
his defeat by Fitzsimmons will not alto
gether be in the nature of q surprise.
Jim FOgarty is to attend the meet
ing of the California baseball magnates
the end of this week. If there is any
chance OF a sixth town hustling up
enough money to get in, then Los Ange-
les will surely be represented. San
Francisco, Oakland, San Jose and Sac
ramento are sure to be in the league.
Fresno people expect to raise the neces-
sary.money to carry a club through a
season. Ii they do this Los Angeles
will be in the California league.
