HAWTHORNE CLUB BOUTS.
Young Arranges q Prom
ising Series of Boxing
Matches.

The Hawthorne Athletic Club off,
cials, are making big preparations for
their initial boxing show, which will be
given in Woodward's Pavilion Friday
night This is the clubs first venture
in the boxing game. 1t would not have
gone into the promoting business but
for the need of money to buy gymnasi-
um apparatus and to repair the build
ing it occupies. Matchmaker Al Young
has prepared an excellent programme
and it promises to result in one of the
best shows of the year. Seven con-
tests are on the card and each will be
of four rounds duration.
The main event will be a four-round
"go" between Lew Powell of the Haw-
thorne Athletic Club and Bob Cairns
for the amateur lightweight champion
ship of the coast. The pair are in
training and will weigh in at the ring
side at 135 pounds. Cairns is power
full and clever and has been defeating
the best men of his weight in the city.
Powell is exceptionally clever and has
a stiff punch. A ''roughhouse" battle
is expected between Frank Mayfield
and "Roughhouse" Mcdonald. These
two are hurricane fighters and should
put up a fast exhibition.
Two special events will be fought be-
tween such clever amateurs as Eddie
Kehoe and Harry Baker, Harry Ten
ny and frankie Edwards. Tenny is
the youth who visited Hyland in his
training quarters and electrified the
crowd by making such good showing
against Richard for four rounds and
taking many damaging blows without
wincing. The winner Of the Kehoe-
Baker contest will be matched to fight
George Finnigan. Young Dempsey and
George Curran will meet in a return
match. They put up hard fight last
week. Pete Sullivan, who beat Artie
Granfield so decisively at the Olympic
Club, will go against Jim Keegan This
will be the curtain raiser. Eddie Smith
of Oakland will referee all the contests.
Willie Wolf is training hard for his
bout with Charley Dunno, and these
two ought to put up a hard battle
Dunno beat professional ringer" last
month and is improving all the time
Wolf is a brother of Ted and can 90
some himself.

THIRTEEN TRACKS TO MAKE
A NEW RACING CIRCUIT
Seven Turfmen Form an Organization
in Opposition to the Western
Jockey Club.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark, Jan. "a
Seven turfmen who are to form a new
jockey club in opposition to the West
ern Jockey Club met in executive ses-
sion tonight in a room at the Arling-
ton Hotel and discussed the various
angles of the racing situation.
You can say that a new associa-
ton has been formed and from now
on we are foes of the Western Jockey
Club" said Ed Corrigan. the master
of Hawthorne" who acted as spokes-
man for the revisionists. Those who
met to perfect the new turf body,
which will have thirteen tracks in its
circuit, were Ed Corrigan, p. j. Car
mody, Matt Winn. j. w. Rhynock,
Rome Respess, Sam Wagner and
George B. Cox.
Nothing can be given out at this
time of public nature until this body
has another conference tomorrow

through the door for a few minutes.

leading spirits of the conference, said
the following tracks would form the
new circuit: Panama, Essex Park,

FIGHTERS SET
A FAST PACE
Neil and Hyland Take Suf-
ficient Work to COndi-
tion Pair of Heavy Weights
WILL TAPER OFF SOON
Rest Will Be in Order for
the Tiny Boxers Within
a Few Days of the Match

frankie Neil and Dick Hyland kare
still taking enough exercise to mt a
couple of heavyweight boxers for the
ring, but they will soon commence to
taper off, Hyland went on the road
yesterday morning and In the after
noon he boxed ten hard rounds with
two sparring partners. He wanted to
go six rounds with each Of them. but
the pace was too hot for one glove
wielder and he retired after four
rounds.
Whether the joke is on frankie Neil
or Trainer Frank Mcdonald was the
principal topic of conversation dis
cussed yesterday at the formers train
ing quarters. 1t happened like this:
On Monday night the boys attended a
vaudeville show and the feature OF the
programme was the great train rob-
berry, shown on the Biograph. frankie
Neil was deeply impressed with the
scene and talked robbers all the way
home. In the small hours of the morn
ing Frank Mcdonald was roughly
shaken out of a sound sleep and COM
manded to throw up his hands. After
rubbing his eyes he realized Neil had
the nightmare and told him to go back
to bed.
Without warning Neil swung right
and left and yelled Bang. bang;
you're dead" The right hit the bed
post and Mac smiled, but the left
caught him in the eye.
In the morning, when frankie was
awakened he Immediately said: Gee,
I'm glad I'm awake. I dreamt / was
a robber and shot a guy" Mac in
formed the boys of Frankie's escapade
and thinks he has joke on him. The
boys are inclined to think Mcdonald
is the victim, however, by the look of
his optic.
Neil is working hard for his coming
battle and while he does not hold Hy-
land cheaply he thinks he will surely
be declared the winner.
Trainer Mcdonald has him in fine
shape and says frankie can go into the
ring at a moments notice. Mcdonald
has trained Neil for all his fights but
two, and on those occasions the little
Mac the only trainer living. Although
the rain fell in torrents yesterday
frankie donned his old clothes and hit
the road for six miles.
In the afternoon he and Young Cor
bett spent over an hour in the gym
nasium, going through the routine
work at a fast pace. frankie will take
a rest to-day and go duck shooting
with Young Corbett.
There has been but little betting UP
to the present time. Nell will ap-
parently be made an overwhelming
favorite as this is Hyland's profess
sional debut and he is supposed to lack
experience. Both boys are hard hit
ters, Neil especially having a wicked
left hand.

mittee meeting Saturday in San Fran

were given the Berkeley members OF
that committee the trend of opinion
was toward allowing each university
to do as 1t pleased in the selection of
coaches. In short, the view predom-
mated that the intercollegiate COM
mittee should leave the matter of
coaches open to individual university
action.
Ezra Decoto and Leo Bishop, two of
Berkeley's intercollegiate representa-
tives, took part in the discussion.
Everett Brown. the third Berkeleyan,
was absent. 1t is not expected Sat
urday's conference will result in def
mite action, as each university will
desire to receive report before the
final decision shall be given. President
Wheeler has received an invitation
from the El Paso, Tex, Chamber of
Commerce to send the university foot

rate of forty miles. He rode a motor
cycle and sent it along in the wake of
the automobile. To his yells the four
men seated in the car shrieked with
laughter. Ennis was gaining slowly

OVERLAND GOES
INTO A DITCH
Cars of WestbOund Limited
Leave the Rails at Early
Hour at Kodak in Nevada

OGDEN, Utah, Jan. 24.-Southern
Pacific passenger train No. 1, known
as the Overland Limited, which left
here at 1856 p. m. yesterday, jumped
the track at Kodak, four miles east Of
Lovelocks, New, about 5 o'clock this
morning, and eight Of the ten cars
composing the train left the rails. Re-
ports from the scene of the wreck
state that no one was seriously injured,
although several were badly bruised.
The overland was making good
speed when the accident occurred. The
cause of the derailment is ascribed to
the springing of switchpoint, which
caused the cars to climb the rails. The
accident occurred on dirt embank-
ment. While the passenger cars
ploughed into the ditch the damage to
them was slight.
Shortly after the accident wrecking
crews were sent out to Kodak from
Sparks, west Of the wreck, and from
Carlin to the east. It required about
ten hours to clear the right of way to
enable trains to pass.

JURORS RAID
BELDEN PLACE
Sheriff Curtis Disappears
With His Deputies After
Six Warrants Are Served

Under the direction Of E. j. Bowes,
chairman Of the police committee of
the Grand Jury, Belden place was
raided by force of deputy sheriffs
last night. Foreman Andrews was a
spectator, holding aloof from active
operations, for Judge Hebbard has en-
Joined him and Juror Davis from enter
ing the houses to make arrests. The
purpose Of the raid was to test the
writ. Bowes was not named in the
injunction and it therefore devolved
upon him to bid defiance to the court.
Judge Hebbard's action, and according
to Foreman Andrews the Judge is to
be made the subject of a thorough in
vestigation.
The raid was largely farcical Pri-
vate detectives had sworn out war
rants for the arrest Of six of the
women, and it was the purpose Of the
grand jurors to accompany the officers
and authorize the arrest of many more.
But Sheriff Curtis, fearful of Judge
Hebbards stern injunction, disappeared
with his deputies as soon as the half
dozen warrants had been served. The
grand jurors went on making arrests
without warrants in the belief that the
alley was bristling with deputies eager
for commands.
Juror Speck captured two women and
was leading them off to prison when
Attorneys Mack and Nagle appeared
with loud calls on the prisoners to re-
sist and louder threats of suits for dam
ages against the juror. William V.
Bryan, secretary of the Grand Jury,
came along with three more of the
painted habitues. He quailed instanter
when the strong voice of Lawyer Mack
spoke. The mention of a suit for dam
ages gave the juror a nervous start
that loosened his grip on the women
and threw his hands into the air.
Speck had more fight in him and
insisted on taking his prisoners off to
Jail. He appealed in vain for help
from Bryan, for the women were strug-
Cling vigorously. Deputy Sheriff Nc
Manus came along at this juncture and
Bowes called on him to take the pris-
oners to the lookup. McManus, uncer-
tain in his fear Of Judge Hebbard,
hesitated. Bowes was so full of energy
about it, however. that the deputy
sheriff finally complied. The lawyers
then raised hue and cry for the
women to break away. There was
much struggling, and finally McManus
let them go.
District Attorney Byington declared
last night that he would have warrants
sworn out, charging Nagle and Mack
with interfering with an officer.
Greater excitement is looked for to-
day. for 1t is expected that Judge Heb
bard Will take some drastic measures
At least. the grand jurors are expect
ing trouble. and hope to bring matters
to an issue with him.
Policemen were stationed in front of
