Lawson Of Boston and william Travsrs
jerome, district attorney Of New York.
were the principal speakers at a dinner
given by the Knife and Fork club in this
city tonight.
In the course Of his speech Mr.. Jerome
spoke jestingly of Mr. Lawson and his
writings.
At the outset Of his speech Mr.. Lawson
addressed himself directly to Mr.. Jerome
in most impassioned manner because Of
the latter's references 10 him. Mr.. Lawson
said In part:

1t is your opportunity to drag the

This country has been enjoying wonderful
prosperity during the last thirty years.
You can tell the country is prosperous If
the people have a balance over the cost
of necessities and luxuries of life. But
the people have not got the balance, not
withstanding prosperity. We began to won

either gone to the banks, shorter hours
of labor must have prevailed, or the neces-
stiles of life were more expensive. We
find that none of these explanations was
the true one. But men like Rockefeller

short time. Here Is where our surplus

The Pomona-U. s. c. football game
which is to occur at Fiesta park Satur-
day will witness the resumption Of
athletic relations between the two In
stitutions that for the past three years
have been on inimical terms.
Time was when the U. S. C.-Pomona
gridiron contest ranked as the event
of the year in Southern California and
the disruption which separated the col

tion in college circles of the south.
After charges and counter charges
reflecting upon the intent of either
body an especially bitter affair ter

Only within the past few months have
the difficulties been adjusted.
The last game which was played

resulted in a university victory by the
score of 16 to 5, after one of the most
spectacular struggles Witnessed on q

arrived at Pomona yesterday and will
assist in the final preparations for the
game.
The lineup will show the strongest
men of the squad on the field. Goode,

is back at right tackle and his 191
pounds will be an advantage to the
Pomona eleven.
Tangernan has gone out on the end

WAGNER MEETS BORGHESI
High Class Performers to Contest for
Supremacy in Free Handi-
cap Today
E2,I
BY Irving B. Clement

Secretary Jasper has arranged good
card for this afternoon, which will fur
nish excellent sport as in all the races
the horses are evenly matched. The
feature event will be the handicap, the
fourth race on the card. 1t is an open
affair. as the weights are allotted and
1t looks like that good old sterling per-
former, Hans Wagner, should finish
first, closely pressed by Borghesi and the
lightweighted Lille b. The latter is
sreedy and might upset calculations by
finishing first.
The first race for maiden 2-year-olds
at five and half furlongs should go tc
Hammeraway. Buchanan will ride this
ore, and as he is "A good post rider he
will probably bring this mount home
first. Mr.. Budd was heavily played
last time out and ran a good race
Search Me showed early speed in his
last race, but show is about the best he
can do as ne Is a gutter.
The second race should go to Tang
ible He is good and fit and his last
race was a capital one. Position is the
one he has to beat. Huapala has been
going well in her morning trials and
might be a surprise party to even the
Wiseacres. Old Chckadee worked Mon
day after the first race but he prefers
a heavy track.
Tramotor has the foot of the party in
the third race, and If Carroll handles
her we'll she will be returned the win
ner. Elfin King is not a work horse
but has his little walk around the barn
every morning and looks fit. Helona
with Moore up, should hold the rest
safe. Philanthropist showed speed in
the Catalina selling stakes Saturday
and looks we'll Watch the market on
this one as there might be 'somethin
doln'."
Brother Frank, with Wiley in the
saddle and on his good eastern form
stands out a shade above the others In
the fifth. Cello ran such a cracking
good race against Escalante and Al
sono on Monday that he must be con-
sidered the dangerous one. Neatness
a sister to the speedy Dainty, has showl,
good form In her morning trials. but
can hardly catch the top ones. Iotta
Gladstone did not beat much on the
opening day. They will probably cross
under the wire In this order: Brother
Frank, Cello and Neatness.
On his New York form The Huguenot
should make a runaway race OF the
sixth, with Potrero Grande second and
the In and outer Hot third. The latter
showed a good turn of speed in his
last race. Merwan has an outside
chance to run In the money

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 5.-Three
close finishes. the defeat of four choices
and killing" by the Missouri dele
cation on Jake Ward were the features
of the racing at Oakland this after
noon.
Celeres ran mile in 1:4O. Although
Succeed and Titus were the only fav-
orites to score. several of the others
were heavily played and the bookmak-
ers did not add a great deal to their
bank rolls.
The initial event of the day for two
year old dllies had eleven starters.
Queen Rec and Bertola divided favor
itism in the betting.
Rosario unsupported in the bet
ting, went TO the front and Just did
last long enough to beat Queen Rec a
neck. Bertola was third turning into
the stretch, but quit in stretch run.
Success, ridden by Radtke, had no
trouble in annexing the purse in the
second race. She went to the front
early In the contest and was never
pressed. Gillette finished second. Iron
Watson got off badly.
Adirondack receded in the betting
at an alrming gait, while Jake Ward
was backed down several points.
The plunge proved justified, as the
st. Louis horse was a clever winner
from Sir christopher, 60 to 1 chance.
General Roberts, which carried a world
of stable money, being backed into fa-
voritism, is said to have broken down.
Christine A.. backed down from to
to to 2. came in an easy winner in
the mile and sixteenth event. Pos
sart, favorite, was never a contender,
Christine A. winning by fully five
lengths.
In an extremely close finish Titus
secured the verdict over Pickaway in
the five and a half furlong dash. The
two sprinters had the race between
them from start to finish.
Corn Blossom ruled favorite in the
mile race with Ceeres, and Salable
was next in demand Celeres led the
entire journey, although Corn Blossom
got up dangerously close in the final
strides. With equal rides, Corn Bios
som would surely have won.
