Arbor railway Is worth $13 006. 900, the brok-
ers say. A bonded debt OF s., 600 ,000 stands

WHIRI. WIND BOUT PROMISED
Solomon and Green Preparing for
Their Twenty Battle
December 20

The local fans will witness a continu-
alton of the whirlwind bout which
s"Kid" Solomon and Joe Green started
some weeks ago is evident from the
serious, gruelling training which both
men are going through at the presen;
time.
Solomon, for the first time in his life,
has ceased other occupations TO train
and is working daily with Herrera at
the pavilion.
The kid is confident and says the
fight will not go. the limit. Green says
the same and expresses confidence that
he Will watch Solomon counted out.
At all odds, a knockout will be an
ticipated from the time the men face
each other, as their style of fighting
makes the knockout route loom up with
strong persistency.
Opinions differ as to who had the
better of the first argument, though
the consensus of opinion holds the two
men as evenly matched.
Green said yesterday: L have won
from better men than Solomon and DO
not see where | can lose" Solomon's
opinion of his adversary is no mean
one and, though he anticipates a VIC
tory, is putting every effort into his
training.
Manager McCarey carded the two
men virtually at the demand of the
great house which witnessed the for
mer go and speculation on the event
promises to exceed that of attractions
where greater lights than Solomon and
Green We're billed to appear.

ENTRY MAY WIN TODAY
Barney Schreiber's Adams and Home,
stead Appear to Hold Edge
on Others
BY Irving 3. Clement

The steeplechase race will be the fea-
ture al Ascot this afternoon. These
races are popular with the public and
the one today will no doubt furnish
good sport, as the best timber toppers
at the track are carded to start.
The Schrieber entry will be the ones
they will have to beat. Adams ran a
good second Monday to his stable mate,
hllldoe, a should be given the prefer
ence today. Homestead is very speedy
and should finish close up.
Decimo, If he runs one of his good
races, will be the contender, with Flea
third. The latter will probably find the
weight too much for him.
Alencon looks best in the second race
ana as he IS quick breaker and speedy,
he should lead from wire to wire.
Prince Magnet, with a good ride
should beat out Tramotor and Seasick
for the place money. The latter might
peat out TramOtor for third money. as
Tramotor does not like to come from
behind and can hardly keep up with AL
encon in the early part of the race.
Chantilly should come right back in
the third race and win easily. Crow
shade ran such a cracking good race
last time out, when he won, that there
is no telling how good he is. 1 look for
him to beat out Retropaw for the short
end of the purse. The latter is a slow
beginner.
Lolita Gladstone might take a notion
to run, but she prefers five furlongs.
Picking a winner for the fourth race
is like picking hens teeth. With the
exception of FL Donaso and Oudon. the
rest figure so close that it is a hard
task to separate them.
Viona ran a bang-up third to Peggy
O'Neal and Rustling Silk and 1 look
for him to be right there at the end
today.
Betsy ran a good race her last time
out and won in a fashion that stamps
her a good one.
70. c. Runte's last race was fair, as
was Lacene's and Rubiana's. So they
have a good chance l look to see them
finish in this order, Viona, Betsy and
e. c. Runte.
The fifth race looks like a toss up be-
tween Fortunatus and Ethylene. | pre-
fer the latter as she has lots of early
speed and viii avoid any interference
that may come up.
Fortunatus' last race was poor from a
time standpoint. but he should beat out
Freesias for the place money. Hot has
been running Well of late and might
turn the trick.
The last race looks as though II was
between Tendi, Pinta and Dolly Welt
hoff and IL would not be surprising to
see them come under the wire In that
order, Radium, Col Bronston, Chief
Aloha and Matte Spencer have outside
chances to win.

Bob had many visitors today and the

failed to produce a smile ON the bat
tered countenance of Fitz.
1t was plainly seen that he told the
truth when he said his heart was break

exceedingly cheerful over the result
of the contest and shows no effects of
the fierce milling.
O'Brien said today: at was that left
