DAY SPORTS.
A Well Arranged Programme OF Events.
Some of the Young2Athletes Who
Will Participate-Contest
from Other Places.

On Thanksgiving day the Los Angeles
Athletic club will hold its fall field day
in Athletic park. The circular contain
ing the various events was issued by the
club yesterday. Everything points to
the affair being success in all ways.
The prizes this year are, as whole,
handsomer than those of previous years,
and more money has been expended
upon the medals than ever before. The
club has q large number Of young atn.
letes in it's membership, and the outside
towns also have their full quota of tai
ent. Riverside, Pasadena, Santa Ana,
Cotton and San Diego are likely to be
well represented at the meeting.
The events, as given by the circular,
are:
Lacrosse, Riverside VS.. Los Angeles, first
half
Mile safety bicycle, maiden.
One hundred yard dash, maiden.
Mile safety bicycle, 1850 class.
One hundred yard dash, open.
Half-n lie safety bicycle, open.
Pole vault heighth
Lacrosse, riverside VS.. Los Angeles, second
half
Mile safety bicycle, open.
Two hundred and twenty-yard run, handi-
cap, Ia.
Mile SA1eCy bicycle, Z.10 CLASS.
Four hundred and forty yard run, handicap.
Two-mile safety bicycle, handicap
There is naturally little rivalry be-
tween the wheelmen and the partici-
pants in the other events as to which of
the two kinds OF running is the greater
favorite. The young men who have
already announced themselves as parti.
cipants in the various events have got
ten down to hard, conscientious work.
In the mile safety bicycle maiden race
the following are the most prominent
participants: Alphonse Jay, Louis
Breer, J. NJ. Winder, Ed. s. Pauley and
E. E. Crandel of San Bernardino.
In the one-mile bicycle race, 2:35
class, are w. M. Jenkins of Los Angeles,
w. s. Ruby of Riverside, L. w. Cox of
Cotton, j. @. Hall of Los Angeles and
HI. b. Cromwell. This will no doubt be
one OF the prettiest races of the day, as
the men are all young fellows, full of
life and anxious to make a name for
themselves. The greatest difference in
the time of the riders is 10 seconds. The
most OF these records were made sew
eral months ago, and as the riders have
been training more or less since then,
the difference will not be 80 great, and
the records will all be more or less
punched.
In the 10O-yard foot race (maiden)
Axe Guthrie and Ed German have an
nounced themselves thus far. and both
are doing some excellent training. Axe
Guthrie has good material in him and
is making fast time. Germain also
practices conscientiously and will rem
der good account of himself.
The l00-yard open foot race will be a
pretty event. There will be entered
Charlie Howard, Billie Gard, Steve
Jackson, Axe Guthrie, j. Ryan,
sheckels and possibly the Harland
brothers of Santa Ana. These latter
are very swift men and are generally
trained by Morrison, the athlete.
A record-bester named Beverly Nc
Donald, from Riverside. has been found.
He has been in California for short
time, hailing from Canada. He claims
to be able to beat 10I.
Sheckels is Y. M @. A. man and is
reported to be very speedy. A short
time ago he did 100 yards in 10 5 Sec
onds with rubber soled shoes and on q
heavy track.
Every one will be pleased to welcome
Billie Gard back on the track, after an
absence from racing one year. Howard
will be able to hold his own.
