bidding Jockeys to talk with anybody
other than the owners and trainers by
whom they are employed This is done
to prevent scandal in more ways than
one. Paddock hunters who have here
tofore obtained valuable information
from jockeys while in the paddock
or sitting amongst the adoring women
in the grand stand, will now have to

sally at the news that J. Ira Davis will
remain in Frisco while the Angels
play the remaining games on it's sched-
ule Umpire Perrine will ofticiate at
the series to begin Wednesday be-
tween the locals and Tacoma. The

Saturday night and the fight fans will
with difficulty know the place when
they see it next time. Eight exits now

provement all around has been made.
The pavilion is one of the most mod
ern in the west and it is possible for
the spectators to witness every move
ment of the fighters from any portion
of the house. The seating capacity is
$500.
