ATHLETIC CLUB FIELD DAY.
Promptly at 80 O'Clock this after
noon the first event on the programme
OF the Athletic clubs field day will be
started. These events have been looked
forward to by the athletes OF Southern
California for soms time past, and rs
result they will be seen at their best to-
day. The entry list includes the most
prominent athletes of the section,
Among the additional entries received
by the Athletic club for it's field day to-
morrow is that OF B. L. Hoyt OF Long
Beach. He haa entered for the 109 yard
dash and 220.yard run, and his chances
in theee, especially the latter, are re-
garded as very good. He has been
training industriously for some time
past at his seaside home, learning to
aprint on the beach. Last May he ran
in a number of the events here and won
the maj )rity in which he competed.
His principal fault at that time was his
inability to start we'll. However, he is
said to have remeded this, and can go
ahead with kangaroo leap.
@. N. Howard, the favorite OF Los
Angeles, has also entered in both of
these events, and while he has not been
able to do much training, is likely to
let the people know he is around.
Among the hicyclists, Fox is the
favorite. His performances last month
oi u mile in about 2:22 apparently
demonstrated that he WAS the feeteat
rider in this section.
@. M. Smith OF the Columbia team lie
very strong rider, however. and ia
probably Fox'e rival more than any
other OF the crowd.
Phil Kitchen has been riding very
we'll lately, and his chances are also
regarded as good.
Herb McCrea has developed much
speed in sprinting.
William M. Jenkins, the old-time
favorite, is back from the mountains,
and will ride in several OF the events.
G. Upright, the Chicago flyer is
likely to set hot pace in the different
events and incidentally cross the tape
first in an instance or go.
The most novel feature of the entire
programme is the mile bicycle race for
Chinese. Three of the Mongolians have
entered. Tney had trial race on Ala
media street yesterday, and, after close
run, finished together.
They will be garbed in various cos
tunes. Wong Fook wants to wear the
regular racing costume, a la Melickee-
man, but it is probable that one OF the
other riders will wear blouse and blue
overalls cut off at the knees. Their
queues are to be worn down their backs,
80 as to give the breezes chance to en-
Joy the fun during the race.
