CALIFORNIA GOLF CHAMPION.
s'Aleck" Smith Won Professional Con
test From Anderson.

News comes from California that "Aleck"
Smith. professional of the Nassau Country
Club of Glen Cove. has just Won the cham
pionship of the Southern California Golf
Association. Smith has been in charge Of
the course at Coronado Beach for the win
ter, having secured leave of absence from
the Glen Cove Club. The tournament in
which he has just played with SO much sue
cess was held at Los Angeles. and was
probably the best ever seen on the Pacific
coast The Los Angeles course Is the finest in
California. and the tournament attracted
such well-knOwn players as Willie" An
derson. open champion of the United States.
Willie Smith. former champion. and
David Bell of Chicago. The contest was at
Seventy-two holes and lasted two days. By
a strange coincidence the same men who
met year ago for the championship of
the United States were competitors for this
state title. At that time Smith and Ander-
son were tied for first place, and were COM
PEELED to meet on the following day to de-
eide the award. when Anderson Won.
The latter was not SO fortunate at Los
Angeles. and had to content himself with
second place. The character Of the entries

ing more and more apparent that Anderson
will be unable to retain his title against the
class OF men who are now coming to the
front Smiths winning score for the two

The seventh annual battle for the trophy

American and English players has been
fought and won. 1t is to belong to the
team that can win three straight fights
Great Britain won in 1897 and 0S. but could
not take the next. Then America won in
1889 and 1900, but could only draw In 1901

first of series.
The British this year were short OF the
services Of the best two men-Blackburn
and Burn-each OF whom seem to own such
touchy feelings that he il very hard to

American probably from a belief that his

representatives in New York city in few
days and arrange definite plans for the
event.
Mr. Smothers and Mr.. Lawson have ac-
cepted the offer Of 60 per cent made by Mr.
Welch. and the only matter to be attended
to now is the selection of a date. The
Hartford meeting will take place the first
week in September, but as the Lord Derby
Boralma contract calls for a race before
September / the meeting may be advanced
a day or two
Mr. Smothers says that he does not think
day two advancement will cause any
Inconvenience, and he is sure Mr.. Lawson
will consent to have the race take place
the first week in September so long as the
track is acceptable.
1t is Mr.. Welch's intention to have the
match decided on the second day Of the
meeting which would be September 2 This
would give plenty of time to have the race
decided in the event of rain or a bad track
early in the week.

merging into another. The Crescent City
Jockey Clubs winter meeting ended
Saturday: the new Louisiana Jockey Club
began today their meeting Of six days.
The Crescent City Jockey Club made
small fortune this winter. Never In the
history of the club has the revenue from
different sources been so great. The at
tendance, in spite OF the fact that free
badges were as scarce as eggs around the
north pole, was much larger than hereto
fore Where formerly the line OF book
makers did not extend beyond ten stands.
there were at one time this winter nearly
twenty-five peucilers calling out the ODDS.
Both of these favorable conditions meant
money to the club.
President Bush was SO pleased with the
patronage to his track that he has already
signified his intention Of Offering larger IN
ducements to horsemen to race next winter.
Not content with raising his purses last
year he will still further advance the value
Of the added money to the purses. handi-
caps and stake events.
On all sides expressions of regret are
heard that Capt. Rees will retire from
active participation in turf affairs. His
action In abolishing jumping races and
cleaning the turf world OF a lot OF parasites
that were fattening on fixed races meets
with the approval of all the men who have
the welfare Of the sport at heart.

under arrest at Towner, McHenry
county, charged with obtaining prop
erty under false ~pretenses. Warner
changed his name when he went to

statements made by persons from that
place made a business of claiming es-
tray horses, which he took into his
own possession. He was arrested
charged with taking possession of
some horses that belonged to a farmer
there, and inquiry at the state peniten-
tiary here revealed the fact that he
