HoRsEHEN WANT SUNSHINE
Clear Skies Today and : omorrow viii
Mean Fast Track for San 5ernar-
dino Harness Races

The last Of the local horses which will
contest for the purses and cups at the
San Bernardno harness meeting were
shipped yesterday from Agricultural
park and today the local contingent
Of devotees Of the trotting and pacing
game will leave for the meeting.
Yesterdays rains we're a disappoint-
ment to those who awakened early in
the morning with renewed hopes for
clear skies and bright sunshine to fin
ish the natural contribution to a fast
track for the meet.
Hopes of new coast records at this
meeting were at low ebb and unless
Jupiter Pluvlus ceases to drench this
portion Of the earth with the fall
showers, the San Berdoo track will be
knee deep in mud for the opening day.
Bright sunshine today and tomorrow
will elevate the hopes of the horse
men and the association under whose
auspices the meeting is given. Two
days of clear skies will serve to make
the track fast for the special $1,000
match between Zolock and Hazel
Patch, which occurs Friday afternoon
All the events to be run off at this
meeting have filled extraordinarily well
and the best trotters and PAGERS in the
west will compete for the purses and
cups offered in the various events.
Indications favor the Southern Call
fornia meets scheduled for the next
two weeks in every way calculated to
eclipse all former meetings. The events
scheduled have all filed nicely and in
teresting struggles are expected in all
these. 1t is expected that the coast
track records will go by the board II
weather conditions favor the horses.
Trainer Delaney says that Zolock
was never better in his life and Will
surely make q new coast record and
lower his own mark. Hazel Patch has
been shipped from Chicago, and will
race against the coast sensation.

PLANS TO HOLD
BILLIARD TOURNEY
MORLEY PROPOSES AN EVENT
AMONG AMATEURS
Three Cushion Devotees to Contest
for Honors of Southern California
and Winner to Play in state
Tournament

The opening Of Morley's handsome
billiard and pool parlors tomorrow
night will mark an era in revival Of
interest In these pastimes in Southern
California, providing Morley carries
out his present plans.
Catering to the wishes of many of
the devotees Of the three bail game,
Morley contemplates putting on a three
cushion billiard tournament to begin
either early in next month or i'm
mediately after the holidays.
There are several amateur billiard
lists In Los Angeles who are capable
of playing a creditable game at three
cushions and 1t is for the purpose of
interesting these players in competing
for the state prizes and honors that
Morley has decided to hold the tour
nament after his new resort is thrown
open to the public.
Plans for this tournament are in
definite as yet, the only definite con-
clusion being the decision to hold the
tournament within a few weeks. 1t
will be conducted, however, upon the
usual plans pursued in all the large
cities where such events are held an
nually.
1t Is expected that ten or twelve en-
tries will be received from those will
ing to enter the tournament and these
will contest for the championship Of
Los Angeles and Southern California.
The winner of this honor will be
qualified to enter competition for the
state championship. The result Of the
local tournament will be, therefore, in
the nature of qualifying series to de-
termne upon a candidate to represent
this portion of the state in the state
amateur championship play.
This idea has been cherished by Nor
ley for some time, and now that he is
outfitting the finest billiard parlors in
the world, he is preparing to hold the
tournament in his new resort at an
early date, providing the local three
cushion players evince sufficient in
terest in the proposition to insure it's
success.

HEMPEL SEEKS
NEW ATTRACTION
WANTS NEW YEARS DATE FOR
ST. VINcENT's
Indians and Saints May Play Final
Game of Season If Rearrangement
of Schedule Is Agreeable All
Around

Coach Hempel of the Sherman In
dian team Is anxious to change the
date of the Indian-St. Vincent game
from Dec 9, the original date, to New
Years day.
After the Pomona-St Vincent con-
test of Saturday, in which neither side
scored, Hempel came to the conclu-
sion that a match with his team and
the Saints would be more of a draw
ing card than the scheduled game with
the all-stars.
Coach Haggerty of the Vincents
readily acquiesced and a big holiday
crowd will in all probability witness
the braves and the Grand avenue men
lock horns for the last struggle of
the season.
The showing of the st. Vincent men
against the Claremont aggregation
was surprise to every one but Hag-
gerty, who since the Occidental dis
aster has been working to upbuild the
team which at the opening of the sea-
son gave promise of taking the inter-
collegiate championship of the south.
The retirement of Mounier and Nc
Donald from the game called for the
development of a practically new line.
and now the st. Vincent forwards are
playing together in manner that
bodies well for the success of their fu-
ture efforts.
HcIe are HldIly WHO HOlQ lndL ftaR-
gerty's back-field is superior to any
in the south, and with Acker playing
in oldtime form the claim does not
appear eXtravagant. Cunningham, who
was considered the equal of Acker in
Colorado, has also jumped into his best
playing boots and Saturday put up a
= great defensive game.
~ Haggerty who rarely makes mem
III of ability which may develop
aia~-Ig his men, is willing to pit Seeley
against any quarter of the south and
holds that at defensive work the little
t1arter has no superior in Southern
California.
Andreas of St. Vincent, with Mast
of high school, has probably gained
more ground by line bucking than any
back during the season, and the ST.
Vincent man, with his superior weight,
should stand on a par with any of the
college backs.
Ochoa of the u S. c. team has done
good work at the ground-gaining
game in contests played so far, but
the Southern California elevens against
which he has been sent We're too light
to prove his real strength.
The st. Vincent team is decidedly
anxious to mix with the Occidental
eleven again, and Raggerty said last
night that, provided Occidental would
agree to a game for Dec. "a, he would
men lose. The reason for the sugges-
tion of the November date is that the
date will be a week after both teams
have participated in a game.
Occidental plays Pomona Nov. IS and
on the same day ST. Vincent is sched-
uled to go against the University of
Arizona.

HURDLE RIDING
COLONY GROWING
NOTABLE JOCKEYS AND
HORSES ARRIVING
Ascot Management Announces lnten-
ton Of Giving Two Overnight
steepleehase Events Each
Week

steeplechasing and hurdle races will
not be eliminated at Ascot this year,
despite reports to this effect, and some
notable jumpers are already stabbed
at the course and others are coming.
Several Of the best cross-country
riders will sport silk at Ascot this
winter, among them being Spence
Sutherland, Kansas Sprague and G.
Reiff. These Jockeys are now on the
ground and are preparing to ride dur
ing the season.
Sutherland is one of the most notable
hurdle riders in the country and he is
credited with the distinction of being
one of the most fearless boys who ever
rode over the jumps.
1t has been said that he would ac-
cept engagements to ride anything
from mouse to a camel and make 1t
clear the jumps. Sutherland has rode
in some of the greatest steeplechase
events in America and Canada in re-
/ cent years and in his time has ex-
perienced some of the hardest falls
and the narrowest escapes from violent
death under the heels of the jumpers
on record.
Sutherland rode the celebrated jump
er Heir Apparent, when 1t fell at Ben
nings and was severely injured. Suth-
erland sustained his worst injury in
this race, broken arm.
AS a cool headed daring rider he Is
without a peer on the American turf
and his presence and participation in
the local meeting will lend an added
interest to all races in which he has
mounts.
1t is the announced intention of the
Ascot management to give no stake
. events to the steeplechasers, but two
overnight events will be given each
week during the meeting and the tim
be- toppers will be much in evidence
and contribute to the excitement of the
thrilling nature demanded by the race
going public.

CLASS ELEvENS TO CONTEST
Los Angeles High School AS and BIS
Battle at Fiesta Park
TODAY

The football teams OF the Senior AS
and Senior BIS from the Los Angeles
high school are to furnish the gridiron
attraction at Fiesta park this after
noon and as result of the old time riv-
airy between the two classes there is
every prospect that the game will be
exciting from the start
The senior BIS have the advantage
of consecutive practice and in their
two contests this season a lively scrim-
mage has resulted. Against the strong
Norwood eleven the BIS went down to
a five to nothing defeat.
Their second game resulted in a VIC
tory of eleven to nothing, with the Los
Angeles Military academy on the losing
end.
Among the men on the senior B line
up are Youngs, tackle of the high
school first team; Donnell. sub-end;
Fletcher, sub-fullback. and Hammond,
sub-tackle. "Bab" Demens may play
for the senior AS, but with him out
of the game the contest looks an easy
proposition for the BIS

FarcicaI Agreement

The articles of agreement between
Jack O'Brien and Bob Fitzsimmons for
their fight to occur In Frisco during the
Christmas holidays provide that the
battle is to be "for the heavyweight
championship of the world" This is
the psychological moment for risibili-
ties. These two have as much right to
fight for the championship between
them as two Fill islanders have to run
for president of Canada. Had 1t been
stipulated that the fight should be a
qualifying round for an opponent to
go against Jeffres, 1t might have been
more reasonable. but to fight for the
championship while Jeffries is alive
and good Is a dangerous proposition.
Maybe JEFF will get warmed up and
go after the winner Just to demonstrate
that JEFF Is still king.

Nelson Won't Fight

It Is generally believed that Bat
Nelson will not engage in any fights
before next spring He has just turned
down an offer of $4,000 for six round
battle with Terry McGovern in Phil
adelphia. which Is evidence that he is
not looking for any easy money in the
ring He has announced his intention
of touring Europe this winter and all
hopes of getting the Dane into ring en-
gagements for the next six months are
not destined to be successful. In side
stepping the six round go with Me-
Govern, Nelson has displayed good
Judgment. He Is not a six round
scrapper and McGovern would have an
excellent opportunity of getting the
decision. Six round fights with Nc
\ overn are dangerous experiments for
Nelson or any other man who could
make the weight for Terry.
