L. A. A. G. CHATTER

The new building of the Los Angeles
Athletic club is rapidly approaching COM
pletion. 1t is doubtful if any similar club
on the coast has as handsome quarters as
these will be when finished and furnished.
The ground floor will be rented as a store
way, the entry way extending to the rear
wall. In the basement will be bowling sl-
leys, wheel racks, etc., but the main club
rooms are situated on the second and third
floors. The beautiful reading rooms 'front.'
ing on Sprirg street on the second floor are
to be handsomely furnished, while behind
them are the rooms containing the tub and
shower baths. A separate stairway from
the bath rooms will lead to the huge gym
nasium ON the third floor. This is a room
102x0J feet, with high ceiling and glass
roof. A splendid airy place it will be for
the cultivation of the corpus sanum. In
front, on the third floor, are bachelor
apartments to be let to the members of the
club. 1t is hardly likely that the club will
be moved into the new quarters before
June l, the act of moving entailing SO
many changes.
A pool tournament will be given at the
club on February II. The entries for the
the best players in the club will take part.
1t will be hard to pick winner. Arthur
Bumiller, Ed Cook and Messrs. Dunning
and Hunt all showing good present form.
All entry moneys will be used to purchase
first prize, the club presenting second
prize.
The idea of putting stage at one end OF
the huge gymnasium at the new club house
Ia growing in favor among the members.
A stage % feet deep, with an opening of
80 feet. could easily be placed there and
still would leave u gymnasium n feet
long, amply large enough for the present
membership of active athletes. The stage
itself would prove useful as storage place
for seats and chairs. In event of any club

TWO GREAT HORSES

Out at Agricultural park are two horses
that will be heard from when the starter
drops the flag on the grand circuit. Both
are from Mckinney. and one of them,
Zombro, is undoubtedly the greatest g.
year-old in the country, while the other,
McZeus, is we'll known as one of the gamest
fighters on the coast circuit.
Zombro, 2:13, is the property of George
t. Beckers, late of Arizona, but now res
ident of Los Angeles. AS 2-year-old he
was not raced, but in the next year he
made a record on the circuit that for 81
year-old is something wonderful. He
started in eighteen races, won thirteen
firsts, three seconds, one third, and was
once unplaced. He trotted to his record of
2:13 three timos during the year. AT the
Sacramento races during the last state fair,
in the third heat of smashing race, he
drove lago, the winner, out in 2:11 fiat,
his own time being given as 2:11L. Zom-
bro comes OF stock that makes racers, as
the following pedigree will show:

McZeus is also McKenney colt, and is

McZeus is also McKenney colt, and is
the property of W. K. Matthews of this
city. McZeus is handsome brown bay OF
sixteen hands, with remarkably fine legs
and feet. During the recent circuit he
started in nine races, winning five tirsts,
two seconds, one third and one fourth.
After being laid off for two meets after the
Sacramento races on account of sickness
he was started at Fresno, with no training.
having been sent but one mile faster than
a Jog, and that only in $50. He took the
first heat in 2 :15 and the second in 2:141a.
In the third. with every horseman on the
circuit swearing he must break down for
drive of half mile, with the whip flying
all over him, beating the field out in
2:15%. There was not single break in
the entire three heats.
McZeus comes honestly by his splendid
racing ability, for there is some pretty
close inbreeding in his pedigree. George
Wilkes figures in it more than once. and
Hambletonian blood is the base of all.
The pedigree complete is as follows:

RUPTURE

Professor Joseph Fandrey. European

now permanently located at S2l South
Broadway, Los Angeles, is practical

latest patent trusses (his own invention)
for curing rupture, also corsets for curva-

Each case will be made to fit. Over forty
almost helpless cases of from two to twen-

today cured and have no more use for
truss. Patients from two to seventy-five
years of age. Information and testimoni-

entertainment 1t would save the expense
of theater, besides furnishing place for
the rehearsal of such affairs. The matter
is in the hands of the directors, most OF
whom are understood to favor the project.
The clubs annual entertainment at the
Los Angeles theater promises to be far
and away the best ever given by the or
ganization. The best musical talent OF the
city has promised assistance and the
comedians of the club are hard at work in
their respective turns.
Chapman and Palmer are arranging a
double act that promises to be side
shaker, and they will introduce some very
clever dancing during their turns. Scott
and Foote, in the hand balancing act, do
nearly all of the tricks that may be seen
at the various professional shows, and do
them remarkably we'll. Sheckles, Banks
that would not disgrace any vaudeville
stage in the country. Altogether such an
entertainment is promised as will fully
repay all who attend. The proceeds will
go towards helping to furnish the new club
rooms, ard such an object should meet

boxing instructor, is a middleweight of
fighting proclvities. Gallagher is only a
welterweight, but will overlook that fact if
Mr.. Flynn, who seems to be a Hindustani,
really and truly yearns to mix things up.
In fact Gallagher is willing to post $3.50
whenever it will be convenient for Flynn to
put a like amount over it. Though no
official recognition of Flynr's claim has
been taken by the club, still there is some
likelihood of the match being brought off
under the auspices of the L. A. A. C.

STOLE RAZORS

Burglary the Charge Preferred Against
Harry Emings
Harry Emings, the negro razor thief, was
yesterday booked at the police station on a
charge of burglary. The detectives insist
that they have very strong case against
him. In his possession at the time of his
arrest there was found skeleton key that
would open the locks on the doors of a
majority of the barker shops in the city.
Emings had been using this key, for the
police have ascertained where he disposed
of about seventeen razors as well as other
barber tools.

The shadows are shortening before the
coming events in the sporting world. In
local circles the annual intercollegiate
field day is attracting the most attention
among the various amateur events.
Though this affair hardly holds the promi-
nent place accorded to like events in the
East, still it attracts many admirers. The
bicycle meet to be given by the Southern
Pacific company at the splendid track at
Santa Monica will undoubtedly prove as
successful as the last one, and that is say
ing a good deal.
All sporting events are now swallowed
up in the one great affair that will
commence at Ell Paso on February ii
This great fistic carnival, probably the
greatest the world ever saw, is drawing to
that town great concourse of pilgrim
sports, and when the referee orders the
men to shake hands, they will perform
that ceremony before the largest audience
