KENNEL AND LEASH

Martin Murphy, the we'll known sports
man, has decided that there is not enough
attention paid to the sport of coursing,
and has decided that he will hold a day of
this sport on january next. In order
that the owners of dogs may have some-
thing to compete for he has offered two
very handsome cups for first and second
prizes in the event. The sporting men are
taking hold of the event with keen inter-
est, an6 the entries are already coming in
fast. Charley Wi ston Of San Gabriel, will
enter his fine animals, of which he is the
fortunate possessor of five. Many others
have already entered animals, and the
event promises to be one of the largest ia

southern country. The place has not yet
been decided upon, some sa, Of the ,S somPetl

near San Gabriel. The list of entries and
the place of meeting will be decided upon
later.

Trial club will be held at Bakersfield on

and the most successful meet in the his
tory of the club is looked for. John Schu-
macher has already sent up his English
setter bitch Rowena, to prepare her for the
stake for all ages. By many of the know
ing ones she is looked on as a likely
winner. W. G. Kerchkoff is the fortunate
possessor of a dog that will make it inter-

Then his assistant threw tiny fragment

THE R1PED ARENA

The matching of Fred Began of San
Francisco and Jack Frazier of Los Angeles
by the Los Angeles Athletic club has ex-
cited good deal of attention among the
patrons of the manly art. These two men
have been matched five times but have
only met once, each time there being some
excuse ON the part of one or the other that
made the match impossible. When they
did meet it was in the rooms of the Angel
City Athletic club on the night of October
18th, and had fifteen hard rounds, the go
being declared draw, and the referee de-
clining to allow the bout to go on on ac-
count of disturbance by the spectators.
Both men proved themselves game and
clever boxers, and they should certainly
give q most excellent exhibition on De-
cember 26th, the date selected ny the
club. They will meet at ca'chweighis,
though both men will be in the immedia
neighborhood Of 122 pounds. They are
matched to box fifteen rounds, and there is
every indication that the club men will be
there in force to see the en- ertainment.
George Allen, the boxing instructor OF
the Fresno Athletic club. published in the
columns of The HERALD = challenge to
box any man in Los Angeles at l42
pounds. BY one who is well acquainted
fighting. he is described as fast rusher
and good infiphter. Though he has not
the science that belongs to the kingpins of
the ring, still he is clever man and is
unusually quick. Perhaps some of the
local clubs may take this gentleman up
and find match for him. If ne Is as goc d
as described he should be >ie to give al
of the clubs the value of thsr money for
the exhibition that he would afford them.
When the Los Angeles Athletic club gets
time to think the matter over, would it not
be good idea to hold another of those
amateur boxers' nights tiat used to be SO
much in vogue? There are number of
very clever amateurs in the city, and
good exhibition could be given if the par
ticipants were allowed sufficient time to
train. Those nights used t, be the most
enjoyable that the CLUB ever gave, and the
presence of ladies among the audiences in
no way dstracted from the enjoyment of
the evening. In addition to this there
might be some wrestling matches and
fencing bouts, which, with such other
sports as the club saw fit to encourage,
would GO to make up a very pleasant en-
tertainment. The affair might be looked
intoswith advantage by the powers that be.

AN UNSUCCESSFUL SUICIDE
Robert E. Curtin Makes an Attempt
Upon His Life
He Sat in the Palace Saloon and In the Midst
Of nusic and Mirth Swallowed
Some Morphine

Robert E. Curtin made an attempt to
commit suicide by taking morphine at the
Palace saloon last night about IL o'clock.
He was removed to the receiving hospital
in time to enable the doctors to work on
him and save his life.
He went into the place, took seat near
the orchestra and ordered bottle of beer.
Into the glass he emptied part of the con-
tents of bottle of morphine and then
drank the mixture. Soon after this George
Wilcox and two other men came in and
sat at the same table with Curtin. He
turned to one of them and asked if he had
a stamp and on being answered in the
negative called the waiter and handed him
5 cents to go and purchase couple of
stamps which was done. Curtin put the
stamps on a couple of letters, one of which
was addressed to "Mrs. Robt. E. Curtin,
433 Larkin street near Turk, S. F." and
the other to 'Miss M. L. Emigh, general
delivery. Santa Barbara, CAL"
Curtin took some cigarette papers from
his pocket and asked the men if they had
any tobacco and when informed that they
had no, lighted one of these unrolled
papers with the remark that they were
good stuff.
"Oh, l want to die. l am going to die in
short time," suddenly observed Curtin.

here he produced bottle which contained
morphine. He spoke the name of 'Irene"

tin stretched out and became unconscious
and was hurriedly removed to the drug
store of Godfrey g. Moore, above the Pal
ace, and kept there until the arrival of the
patrol wagon.
DIR. Lasher arrived after the man had
been in the receiving hospital nearly ten
minutes, and then came DIR. Bryant, and
later Dr. Ainsworth. They used a stomach
pump on him and brought him to con-
seriousness. At an early hour this morning
Curtin was thought 10 be out of danger.
No motive can positively be assigned for
the mans rash act. He came to this city
from San Francisco during race week and
has been here ever since. He did not ap-
pear to have any business and has ap.
peared despondent for some days past.
His father is =. G. Curtin, the Market
street dry goods dealer of San francisco,
and one of the letters found on him was
addressed to his wife. He has had trouble
with his father, it is reported, and they
have not been on friendly terms for num-
ber of years. Nothing is known of the
other woman to whom the letter was ad-
dressed, but if the contents of the letters
could be learned the true cause for his at
tempt upon his life would probably be
learned.

The announcement that Berkeley will
not come down for the Christmas game of
football that they had engaged themselves
for, has been great source of disappoint-
ment to the expectant lovers of the game.
The action of the northern men has been
severely criticised, their evident rela-
ton to Lord Dunraven being fully sustain
ed. However, q game of football has been
promised for that day, and there is no
doubt of the ability of the Los Angeles
Athletic Club to keep their promi'e.
The record teams at Santa Monica are
keeping the bicycle enthusiasts on the tip
toe of expectation, and the announcement
of the first worlds record is eagerly looked
for. The departure of the Syracuse team
for Coronado is looked askance at by some,
for the reason that records made on.a horse
track are not of the same relative value
with those made on regulation bicycle
track.
The other sporting news is rather slack,
inasmuch as there has been little doing in
sporting circles for the past week.

The Dayton uses the largest tubing of
any wheel that 10 sold in the city, l u inch
being the size that is used in the diamond.
The bearings in the wheel are of the finest,
and there are many little things that tend
to make the wheel popular favorite. Az
is customary, the tires, saddle and fittings
are optional with the rider.
Every bicycle manufacturer seems in
tent on turning out tandem for the COM
ing year, and some of the models have
already reached the city. OF these the
Dayton seems to have attracted the most
interest, and a very handsome machine it
Is. The absolute simplicity Of the design
and the use of the extra large tubing
makes 1t very neat to look at. The Syra-
cuse people have changed their former ex-
cellent model in but few particulars, they
having improved their first output late in
the year. The Columbia people are figur-
ing on a very decided change in their tan
dem, simplifying the old design.
II would seem as If the manufacturers
are about getting to the end of their ropes
in the matter of improvements. There are
no radical changes in any of the new
wheels, except the general adoption OF
large tubing. and there seems to be a gem
eral desire to let we'll enough alone. There
are but few wheels that do not conform to
given design in the matter of frame, and
tho minor details are assuming the same
appearance. From this one would infer
that the millennium of the cycle manufac'
turer is approaching, when all the wheels

On Saturday afternoon Secretary Nc
Stay received the following telegram from
Herbert H. Lang, the manager of the
Berkeley football team:
"Olympic wants five hundred guarantee.
Too much. This prevents Berkeley COM
ing. Letter follows"
Now, we have no desire to be unneces-
sarily hard on the gentlemen from the
north, but the spirit that they have shown
in this matter is far from that of true
sportsmen. When the correspondence first
began over the matter Of the Berkeley
team coming down to Los Angeles the
offer was eagerly accepted, with the pro-
viso that two games should be arranged
for the visitors in this city, one on Christ
mas day and the second on New Years
day. The Los Angeles Athletic club ar
ranged for the Occidental college team to
meet the Berseley men on the first named
day, and at once entered into communica-
ton with Butte City for a game on the Sec
ond date mentioned. When the Berkeley
men learned of this fact, they demurred
against meeting Butte City, and suggested
as an alternative the Olympic club of San
francisco. Though annoyed, Secretary
McStay agreed to this, and made prepara-
tions to entertain the expected visitors.
And now comes this cool telegram from
the north, saying that there can be no
game, as the Olympics object. The hesi-
tation to meet Butte City was laid to objec-
tions ON the part of the college faculty,
which seems to be most convenient en-
cuse. The ease with which the gentlemen
from the classic institution manage to shift
the blame from their own shoulders to
those of somebody else rather leads one to
believe that they have mistaken their voca-
ton. They should not have been football
players, for they would have made the
finest lawyers in the land.
There will be football on Christmas day,
however, if the Los Angeles Athletic club
has anything to say about it. Mr.. McStay
is keeping the wires hot and is i'll COM
munication with several teams of note, ex-
pectng to be able to announce in the near
future that he has secured some team to
20 up against the Occidentals on Christi
mas day. IT no other team can be secured
the club will arrange game with one of
the local colleges, possibly giving Whit ier
the preference. However, if anything is
to be done it should be done quickly, for
there is little time between now and
Christmas 10 make the various arrange
ments that are necessary.
Today there will be a game at Athletic
park between the Pomona college and Oc-
cidental college teams. Haskins, who was
to have played right end for the Occi-
means another change in the line. With
this exception, however, the teams will
line up the same as already announced,
and there is little doubt of their ability to
beat the visiting team. A change for the
better might be made by putting Gooddale
at full back, where his fine punting would
be of more use to the team. Ramsaur,
who now plays full, would make an excel
lent half back, and the team would be SO
cidental will probably line up for today's

The storm that has visited this place
has Travelled from the north. In this
State it could do nothing but benefit
everything. In California the effect
is different. Thousands Of dollars
worth of figs and raisinS are in the
drying process and a storm coming
on without warming would result in
the total destruction of the half-dried
crops. Most Of the districts Of Cali
fOrnia were warned of the coming
storm and the farmers had time to
protect their property, The following
is an instance Of the good that the
service does in that State:
Mr.. Harmon received a dispatch
from the manager Of the Butler vine
ward last night, saying that the warn
ing had been most timely, as fully
100000 worth of raisins were exposed
The cost of covering was 5000, and

have resulted.
