Delaney's Letter.


This is Delaney's letter:
My Dear Tad: Yours just received
and will Try and tell you what I think
OF Je1's chances of fighting again.
When I was with Al Kaufman down
South while ago I took a trip over
TO see the big fellow with (western)
Al Smith. We took "A rig and drove 10
the ranch and found Jef out on the
front porch talking TO one Of his neigh
bors. He had his dogs with him and
was talking Of both farms and hunting.
He took US around his place Showed
US the surrounding country and said
how he wanted TO annex II TO his. but
that the people there wanted more
money than he was willing 10 pay.
Won't Fight for Money.
said: Jim. you ca nget the land
easily. If you want it." And he asked
what I meant / told him to get IN the
ring again and clean up that gang OF
four-hushers who were challenging
him. II would be soft and would only
take him few months and he could
get all the land as far as he could see.
JEFF was silent a minute and then.
smiling, started to talk farms TO US
again. He never even returned TO the
fight talk. so I let It go at that. That's
the way il stands and that's the way
it will stand. He has the farm craze
on and has made up his mind TO make
money that way He never looked bet
ter in his life than he does right now.
have actually seen Jim go into the
ring weighing more than he does today.
He thinks OF fights occasionally. bur

I that he will pull On another glove.

owners Of the team TO hold his players
in readiness for a game in Brooklyn on
next Sunday SO long as semi-profes-
sional clubs play in Brooklyn on sun

that il has the same privilege.
At a meeting held in London last night
it was decided to form a British base

clubs, stress was laid on the desirability
of fostering the amateur side Of the

Washington people like TO see Harry
Page ride. This Long Island sports
man is a positive novelty. In his last
appearance here. he actually rode with
his monocle perched at the correct Ascot
angle through the sseeplechase course
and on a bad acting horse, too. Mr.. Page
is an insistent observer of all English

riding breeches were made Of Bombay
silk until an accident at Morris Park
five years ago and now he wears corded
canvass.
Mr.. Page is a millionaire who is not
obliged to risk his life in earning a living
as a steeplechase rider, but he will take
as great chance as anybody, profes-
sional or amateur. He has been known

York, four times in a week in order 10

The Jockey Club did a good thing yes
terday for which congra tulations are in
order. During the last two meetings at
Benning the scandal cry of certain IN
scrupulous owners running their horses

was frequently heard II was a mean
knock on the turf. Yesterday an Of

superintendent Of the paddock" The
duty of this official hereafter will be

suitable and proper warm-up gallop be-
fore going on the track for the grueling
ordeal there expected of him
II appears that certain owners have
been sending their horses TO the post
without having had the customary
warm up" gallop. They ran cold
and with their muscles stiff and their
lungs fiabby they did not run to best
form. Concident with this was the fact
that a well defined coterie Of book
makers always laid top prices against
these horses on such occasions. or
course, on the days these same horses
were gallOped lust before the moment OF
Then the inside ring connections knew
that the right thing TO do was 10 refuse
money from the bettors. for the afore-
said horses were running warm"
The public lost thousands of dollars to
the ring on this line of trickery and the
appointment of an official to oversee this
department of paddock activity will be
much appreciated.
The running of Lord of the Vale with
and without blinkers is another thing
being talked about just now. Because
this horse is owned by the chairman of
the Jockey Club does not excuse him
from coming under the rules and regula-
tions of the course in respect to the
change of racing equipment.

Two more of the sportsmen races

were the Southern Pink Coat Steepie-

events drew fairly respectable fields

For the first time in the history of the
Amateur Cup. the track stood deep in
slushy mud, and of course. the society
lads who expected to fiaunt home radi-

pect this afternoon. A mud bath was
assured long before the amateur sports
men went into the saddle.

do so by an advance made by the man-
ufacturers.
Request Small Orders
"In view of the fact that many de-
mands are made upon us by outside
districts, we ask you to order staple
goods in small quantities SO that we
may be able to protect all who may
call upon us. Bear in mind, however,
that we have ample stocks on the way,
and our friends at home and in the
north will not suffer for staple sup
plies"
No Shortage Of Sugar
Stetson-Preston company said: "A
shortage will exist for a short time in
canned beans, canned meats and dried
fruits. 1t was reported that shortage
of cane sugar was likely to occur, but
the latest advices from Point Rich
mond are to the effect that within q
few days a plentiful supply of cane
sugar will be available. Owing to the
destruction of the warehouses of the
canning companies of the north, from
which wholesalers of Southern Califor-
MIA sometimes draw their supplies,
there may be shortage of lines the
government has been buying"
No Cause for Alarm
Haas-Baruch company said: There
is absolutely no cause for alarm among
the retail merchants and the consumers
of Los Angeles. There will positively
not be a scarcity of any kind of staple
groceries such as sugar, flour, bacon
and others. Many of the factories
which we at first thought were de-
stroyed by the earthquake or fire have
been found to be uninjured and are
now running at their full capacity.
Prices to Remain Firm
1.-THE government has been buying
all the canned meats and baked beans
that were obtainable and accordingly
there will be slight shortage in these
lines, but the mainstays of the grocery
business will be just as cheap as ever.
Statements have been made that the
retailers are advancing prices on sew
eraI lines. If they are it is not justi-
fable, for we have not advanced pricesi
on single line of goods
r. l.. Craig & Co. also said that no
fears need be felt as to the amount of
supplies on hand. Mr.. Hawley of the
United Wholesale Grocery company
talked to the same effect.

There Is no likelihood of a shortage
of staple groceries in Los Angeles.
All local wholesale grocers are of this
opinion. The larger wholesalers have
sent letters to their customers, reassur-
ing them as to the supply of staple
groceries on hand.
In the letter which M. A. Newmark
G. Co. have sent out is said "The
awful catastrophe which has befallen
our sister city of San Francisco and
which has sent shudder through
every human heart has also given
cause to many different rumors which
are i'll founded. Among these is one
that there will be a scarcity of gro
ceries and of provisions and that the
