in 1925, which goes to show what
horse the youngster is for work. In the
afternoon the weather conditions were
far from favorable for record breaking,
a strong wind blowing on the back
stretch, making it hard for both pace
makers and man. The heavens had been
cloudy all day, and rain threatened at
any moment. However, it was determ-
ined to make the attempt, and the sex
tuplet, manned by it's regular crew, was
brought out. The start was most favor
able, the big machine, with Michael
tucked under it's wing, holding the turns
with ease. The sex" took him the first
mile in 1:45 2-5 fast going for an at
tempt on the five-mile mark. The pick
up at the end of four laps by the Jallus
was most prettily made, not a fifth of
second being lost. Michael yelled for
faster pace, but Eek cautioned the men
to hold 1t steady, and steady it was.
The second mile was ridden in 1:53,
making the time for the distance 1888 2-5,
over three seconds outside of the record
Then the sextuplet came out again and
the fourth mile was made in 150 4-5,
bringing the four-mile record from 7:24
2-5, where Tom Linton left it, to 1921 fiat.
Every one save the officials was excited
by this time, and the chances for get
ting the mark were excellent. The last
mile, including the pickup, was made in
1:51 3-5, making the total 9:12 3-5.
The placing of the unpaced standing
start mile work at 2:O5 AS, by Fred
Longhead, the wonderful Canadian rid
er, remarkable piece of work, fully
vindicates the opinion of those who pick
ed LOnghead to be the man of the year,
says the Sporting News. While it is
true the Canadian champion has not
won great number of firsts this year.
his winnings have been of such highly
sensational order that they have left no
doubt in the minds of the racing enthus-
lasts that fit and well he is the equal of
any rider living. To the severe attacks
of typhoid fever that Fred had late last
fall can be laid the blame for the ma
jority of his defeats as it left him in poor
condition to stand the hard training nee
essary for a seasons campaigning. Very
few time in the entire season was he at
his best, and when he did get in good
shape it lasted not longer than one day
and usually but one race. And the rides
he made at those times will live long in
the memory of those who saw them. His
ride in the mile handicap at the old
Thirty-fifth street grounds in Chicago
on July 10 was the most sensational ride
of the year, or is SO considered by the
best judges of cycle racing in the coun-
try. 1t was Fred's first meeting with the
crack professionals, and the handicap
per showed his good opinion of him by
placing him on the scratch with Sanger
and Bald. The Thirty-fifth street track
is a one-third of a mile affair, and the
men were scattered out clear to the one
hundred and siXty-five yard mark in
Fred's heat. His marvellous speed can
but be imagined when he passed the
whole field and was leading coming into
the stretch on the first lap. At the same
meeting he ran second to Bald, defeating
the mighty Sanger.

THE WHEET,

There is still some talk of the big
world record team coming to this state
perhaps to Coronado, perhaps to San
Jose or to the new Velodrome in San
Francisco. The team is now at Memphis
and next Monday will go to Nashville.
1t has no dates after December 1. and if
the Velodrome people are alive and real
ly want good talent, here is the oppor-
tunity. Some of the idea of the fast
work the team does can be CLEANED from
the following, taken from Bearings
New Orleans correspondent:
Yesterday the Phillips triplet took
Michael three miles in 6:02, while
the Cooks triplet took him three more in
GIG. Waller followed Michael five miles
of the distance. johnson went out back
of the Waller quad and did his first mile
in 1855, quitting for time to wait for
the Jallu brothers triplet team When
the Frenchmen came out Johnny rode
several miles at two-minute clip.
After Michael rode his six miles he
claimed he was too fat, so he ran all the
way back to the hotel, a distance of five
miles, and then, donning two sweaters,
skipped the rope for an hour. This
morning he is riding twenty-five miles
to go twenty-five miles behind the pac-
ing machine at the track.
Probably the most wonderful per-
formance yet made by the team was the
breaking of the worlds five-mile record
by Michael on November s at New Or
leans, he bringing the mark down to the
phenomenal figures of 9:12 3-5. A most
interesting description of the trial is
given by F. Ed Spooner, who witness
ed it:

Despite the gloomy weather there was
. good crowd at the Athletic park to
witness the second game between the
Los Angeles club and the Tufsts-Lyon
boys. AS was predicted, the game re-
suited in favor of the professionals by
q score of to 4, but had Harvey had
good, or even fair, support in the field
the Kids would have won. Cummings,
Franck and Tyler. usually reliable
fielders, all had an off day, which ac-
counts for most of the runs scored by
the professionals. The Los Angeles
boys were first to the bat and scored
two runs on a base on balls, hit by
Whaling. an error by Tyler and a sacri
flee by I.ohman. They scored one in
the third on a double by Knell and a
three-bagger by Whaling; in the sixth
they added two more to their score on
a bundle of errors by Held, Cummings
and Franck and Knell's long sacrifice
fly to center. They got their last run
in the seventh on Lohman's hit, sacri-
flee by Moore and hit by Guercio The
Tufts-Lyon boys We're shut out untn
the eighth inning, when Buck Franck,
the first man up, got his base on balls.
Ferguson advanced him to second and
took first himself on Tyler's cortortion
act with his ground hit. Tyler then
filled the bases by hitting Cummings
with pitched ball. Lohman let
ball get away from him and Franck
scored. Farrow then hit a little fly to
the infield which Farley and Moore let
drop between them without making an
effort to catch it. Moore thought Farley
would take it, and vice versa Harvey
scored by sacrificing to Knell and Far
row scored the last run on Moore's error
off Tylers hit. Rivera hit to Farley
and was thrown out to Guercio and
Harvey, who was trying to score, was
caught at the plate on the same play.
Held spoiled a chance to tie the score
in the ninth inning, when he tried to
steal second with no one out. The
work of both pitchers and Rivera's out
field work, a line catch of Ed Moore's
in the last inning, and Whaling's hit
ting were the features of the game.
The complete score follows:

GOOD GAME AT COMPTON

At Compton yesterday afternoon there
was an exciting game between the Comp
ton club and the Twelfth street Browns,
the former winning out by the close
score of IA to 13. Scherer and Cohen
were the battery for the Comptons and
put up a great game. McGee started in
for the Twelfth street boys in the box,
but was batted out in the fourth inning,
and was succeeded by Smiley, who fin
ished out the game. Following is the

The Trlpys yesterday defeated the
Seventh regiment team at the race
track by score of to before crowd
of 300 people, Batteries: Majors and
Alexander for the Trilbys. Cortney and
Adams for the Seventh regiment.
The event of the week, indeed, the
event of the year, in the athletic circles,
the annual field day of the Los Angeles
Athletic club, is always looked forward
to by the athletes of Southern California
and a big entry list and large attend
year will equal If not surpass the sue
cess of former efforts and will be red
letter day in athletics. Every college,
school and athletic association in this
section is represented in at least one
event, and some of them in all. The
bicycle races will be particularly good,
as up to this writing a large entry has
been received. The running races will
also be one of the features of the days
sport while the jumping, pole vaulting,
and hammer throwing will furnish no
small amount of interest. A fine list
of prizes has been furnished by the club
for the different events, and it is of suf-
ficent value to encourage keen compe-
titior. The track and grounds are be-
ing put in first-class shape for record
breaking, and some fast time is looked
for in both the running and bicycle
races The list of events and value OF

information is more hopeless than non

When the writer of the Lacon penned
the above lines he scored the error of his
day, but had he, with prophetic eye,
seen the development of the City of the
Angels in this year of grace he might
have added that ignorance is mulish
in it's obstinacy, but error is pugnacious-
ly persistent in wrong doing.
Many illustrations, proving the truth
of this, might be adduced but for the
present just one will suffice.
The Herald has recently drawn atten-
ton to the absolute inaccuracy of the
land titles in the city, and shown, by
an expose of the methods followed on
making the Hancock and Ord surveys,
that the fundamental basis Of all land
titles is hopelessly in error. The
mooted scheme for the adoption of new
city charter brings this question before
the public generally, and in rather odd
fashion. The proposed charter, while
providing for the remodeling of the
city government, fails most lamentably
in defining the city itself. 1t is true
that an ostensible definition of the city's
boundaries is given, but as the language
used is the technical jargon of the land
surveyor the uninitiated cam only puzzle
over the lines with the same interest
that a problem in geometry might have
for a Digger Indian. To surveyor or
civil engineer that may have concern
in the matter, and sits down with

follow what purports to be the official

proposed charter, may incite to insan-
ity or simple blasphemy. but beyond
that nothing will have been attained.

UNAssoRTED STOCK.
Why PouItrymen Should Aim to Secure
Uniformity In the Flock.

Uniformity In tho Flock.
Go into any barnyard or poultry yard
and the'chances are that the stock will
be found of all grades, shapes, colors
and sizes. Among the lot will be
found some excellent layers, but the
whole lot will prove Improbable, ow-
ing to too much rubbish"
Yet there are hundreds who annually
winter over and feed scrubs that show
no signs of thrift, and which give the
flock the appearance of being mixed to
such an extent as to destroy even the
prospect of better results in the fu-
ture.
This is due to the failure of farmers
to secure uniformity in the flock.
There is no excuse for having little
of everything and bad as the
use of pure-bred males will overcome
all such obstacles. We do not mean to
claim that the farmer should use pure
bred fowls only. for the crosses are ex-
cellent, but if crosses are to be used,
let some judgment be used in securing
such crosses. Breed for just what you
want, using certain males and females
for that purpose, and not turn out the
whole flock together and then trust to
chance for the character of the off
spring. There is too much useless ma
terial in nearly all focks, but it can be
bred out.-Prairie Farmer
