THE oHAsTLIEsT HIGHWAY
Crossing the Continent to the West
When the Gold Rush
Was On

The scattering overland migra-
tion-to Oregon and California
beginning SO early as 1876, became
never-paralleled tide by tho
spring Of 1919, when the gold ruch
was really on. In all the chron-
icles of mankind there is nothing
else like this translation of hui

wilderness, says McClure's Maga-
zine.

evitable hardships, and its fire.

the professional failure, but min.
listers, doctors, lawyers, mer-
chants and farmers, with their
families, caught the new yellow
fever, and betook themselves to
a journey so times as long and
hard as the average of them had
ever taken before. Powder, lead,
foodstuffs, household goods,
wives, sisters, mothers and babies
rode in the Osnaburg- g-sheeted
prairie schOoners, OF whatsoever
wheeled conveyance the emigrant
could secure, up from ancient top
buggies to new Conestogas; while
the men rode their horses or
mules, or trudged beside the cara
vans. A historic party of five
Frenchmen pushed a hand wagon
from the Missouri to the coastI
and one man trundIed his posses
sins in wheelbarrOw. AT its
best, it was an itinerary untrans
latable to the present generation,
at its worst, with Indian lnassa

the ghastliest highways in his

MARVEL At BELLS
GREAT PHYSIQUE
THROWS CHAMPION HEAVY
WEIGHT WRESTLER
Gotch lowered Above His Opponent
+ and outweighed Him Many
Pounds-Winner Physi-
cal Freak

The Athletic World was amazed last
week when Frank Gotch, heavyweight
champion wrestler of America, was de-
feated at New Orleans by Beell, a 169-
pound man, who conclusively proved
himself the champions master.
BeelPs marvellous performance in de-
feating Gotch for the heavyweight
championship of America surprised
everyone who possesses a knowledge of
wrestling and athletics.
Considering Gotch's superb physique,
his great superiority in weight, his ad-
mitted skill-he is considered faster and
more skilled than Beell-his splendid
condition, the performance of the Wis
consinite borders upon the marvellous.
Gotch stands feet IL inches in height
and weighs 200 pounds. He never
drinks or smokes and is not addicted to
any of the pleasant vices which cumber
the feet of the athlete. The quality of
his skill is unchallenged.
Indeed, there has never been a
oleverer big wrestler and very few of
the little ones-not even the wonderful
Luttbeg-have been rated more skillful
than Gotch. He was pupil OF the in
ventor of modern wrestling skill,
Farmer Burns.
Beell, a native of Marshfeld, Wis, is
a physical freak. Standing very little
over feet 2 inches in height, he pos
sesses the shoulders of a 300-pounder,
the arms Of a gorilla and the hands of
rock crusher.
His neck is unusually powerful, so
much so, indeed, as to be almost proof
against the severest assaults of an op-
ponent. From his waist down Beell is
very light. Yet, like Fitzsimmons, his
legs are equal to all demands.
When 1t is understood that Gotch is
a man Of almost superhuman strength,
one powerful enough to take the
strongest men of his profession. which
Is noted for extreme power of its dis
ciples. and literally break him in two,
the extraordinary accomplishment Of
Beell may be family appreciated.
That a man scarcely over five feet in
height should handle a young giant
like Goteh, in fact break the back in
such a manner as to leave him entirely
exhausted at the end of an hours
wrestling, is one of the wonders of the
athletic performance of the year.

MYSTERY IN MANNER OF
DEATH
Coroner VIII Hold Inquest over Body
Supposed to Be That of Joseph
Haekett Of Long
Beach

Lying beside a buggy in which he
had driven from Lancaster, the body of
man, thought to be Joseph Hackett,
a prospector from Long Beach, was
found about three miles from that city
by several boys late yesterday after
noon. The coroner at Los Angeles was
at once notified and will leave for Lam
caster today to hold an inquest, when
1t is expected the mystery Of the man.
ner of his death will be cleared.
Joseph Hackett went to Lancaster
several weeks ago. He is said to be
the owner of several valuable mining
claims, but to have gone to that dis
trict for the purpose of locating new
ones, having long rested under the inn
preston that valuable mining prop
critics which had never been discovered
could be found there. He was formerly
well known in Nevada, as he was
among the first of those who answered
the cry of gold from those fields.
So far as known he was unmarried.
He is said to have sister at Long
Beach. Efforts are being made to COM
municate with her, but she could rot
be located last night.

lDALEEE COTTON TO
INITIATE MRS. FISKE IN
LEAH" bT THE ORPHEUM

A feature of tonight's program at the
Orpheum will be Miss Idalene Cotton's
impersonation of Mrs. Fiske as Leah
Kleschna. When Miss Cotton first
studied this imitation she sent an in
vitation to Mrs. Fiske asking her to
witness the performance before 1t was
staged Mrs. Fiske was unable to at
tend at the time specified in Miss Cot
tons invitation, but day or two later
quite unexpectedly dropped into the
theater while Miss Cotton was rehears-
irg. Two days afterward Miss Cotton
received letter from the great actress
saying that she had seen the act and
expressing her pleasure with the clever
imitation. She closed the letter by
giving Miss Cotton full and free per-
mission to present the act wherever
and whenever she might wish to do so.

"YON Y0NS0N," BY REAL
SWEDE, WINS OUT AGAIN
AT THE GRAND THEATER

"Yon Yonson," played by a real
SWede, who talks with the accent of
the Mortimer, made patrons of the
Grand opera house yesterday forget
that the rain was pattering out doors
and kept their thoughts fastened on
far-off Minnesota, with its cold winters,
it's logging camps and it's adopted sons,
noted for their taffy hair, their rug
gedness and their fine citizenship. If
"Yon Yonson" and it's sister play, "Tilly
Olson" does nothing else they estab-
lish firm affection for Swedish men
and women in the hearts of coSmo-
politan America.
This years Yon is tall, lank fellow,
whose smile provokes laughter and who
is ircumbered by the prosaic name of
George c, Thompson. Fact is Thomp-
son lived most of his life in Sweden,
was leading man at the Stadt theater
in Stockholm and has for several years
done Swedish vaudeville stunts in this
country. Thompson talked about his
'leetle seester," about "Svayden" and
twisted the Anglo Saxon in approved
style.
Yon, as most playgoers know, was
the son of a man who possessed a
valuable sawmill patent which on his
deathbed fell into the hands of Amos
Jennings and was source of wealth
for the latter. To keep Yon from get
ting his rights Jennings sent him into
the wilds of Minnesota jennings
daughter, Grace Qda Werner) falls in
love with John Holloway, who wants
Jennings wealth more than he wants
his daughters hand. Eventually it de-
velops that Grace is only an adopted
daughter, that she is a missing sister
of Yon's and both finally get the wealth
that is rightfully theirs. Holloway re-
tires baffled and with the Kisses of the
gallery gods bidding him fond fare
we'll.
Interpolated as specialties in the play
are a number of songs by the Lumber
mems quartet, Messrs Duncan, Da
Silva, Hubbard and Becker of the COM
pany, and they make the welkin ring
in the logging camp. Thompson also
does few singing numbers, as.do Lois
Arnold and Cora Bennett.
Ida Werner, the leading woman, has
an excellent conception of her role and
is especially strong in the scene where
she discovers Holloway's perfidy and
discards him. Other members work in
rather automatic fashion

MUDDERS WILL
HAVE A CHANCE
STEEPLECHASE RACE FIRST
ON THE CARD
Weights Are so Allotted In Handicap
That Race Is Very Open Affair.
only a Fair Program
Arranged
by IRVING u. CLEMENT

Mudlarks will have an inning this
afternoon at Ascot. There might be
some scratches which will reduce the
chasing will witness a good race and
perhaps close finish in the first event
Of the day Six are carded to start,
but only three that have a cnance are
Tom Cogan, VIM. Parrish and Cazador.
The others are not experienced
jumpers. Tom Cogan beat this lot be-
fore, but takes up weight. VIM. Par
rish beat Cazador last time they met
on the same kind Of a track and should
do so again. Should finish: Tom Co.
gan, VIM. Parrish, Cazador.
Atkins likes the mud and should
have little trouble to win the second
race. His race Saturday just put him
on edge. Legatee likes the mud, but
is slow beginner. Marendo ran some
good races in Oakland and should be
close up at the finish. Has a good
chance to be second.
Oratorian does not like the mud and
will probably be scratched. Young
Craig might come to life, as he is a
good horse in the mud at times.
Watch the market.
A very poor lot are carded to start
in the third race The start and rid
ers will have lot to do toward fur
nishing the winner. On form and
workouts they should come Halton,
Remember, Ray Egan. Vinorsina and
Josie S. have a good outside chance
to be in the money. The latter has
been working well.
Secretary Boden allotted the weights
so cleverly in the handicap that the
race is very open affair. Supreme
Court ran such a good race Saturday,
when he beat both Don Domo and
Bryan, that he should repeat and beat
them again. Bryan likes mud and
should beat out Don Domo for the
place.
If anything upsets calculations in
this race it will be Chantilly. Is
working fast. Bears watching. Mil
shora has an outside chance to be in
the money.
Betsy on her last race in which she
ran as though short is the one they
will have to beat. She is quick
breaker and fast. Judge Denton likes
mud and should be an easy second
Bologna will set a fast pace and should
last to be third. Nuns Yelling, Prince
Magnet and Redan will go well and
might prove a surprise
Linda Rose stands out prominently
in the sixth race and only has to run
back to-snef last out to win. Eliza
beth F. is an unfortunate filly at the
post. If she gets away well will be
close up at the finish. Cicely is a
fast one and likes the going. Third
is about where she should land
Elota is in very light and will be
up with the leaders at the finish.
Should catch the judges eye in this
order: Linda Rose, Elizabeth F.,
Cicely.

Contest

Those who did not witness Jack
O'Brien and Tommy Burns struggle at
Maud Junction pavilion Thanksgiving
eve will have an opportunity of watch
ing the great combat when moving pic
lures are placed on exhibition at Nor
lays South Grand avenue skating rink
this evening.
Spectators who sat in the arena will
recall vividly the spectacular scenes at
tendant upon the heavyweight battle
once the films start to unroll. AS ex-
amples of the moving picture art Miles
brothers have surpassed themselves in
the present effort. With the exception
of faint blur during the two opening
rounds the pictures are remarkably
good, features of the two gladiators
standing out even more clearly than
under the blush glare of the Cooper
Hewitt lights.
Venice and Long Beach receive great
advertisement in the pictures as the
training operations of both men are
embodied in the films.
O'Brien's bag punching at Venice.
with the surf rolling at his feet, is one
of the prettiest scenic effects ever
measured by the camera man.
With the click of the moving machine
the Philadelphia steps from his living
rooms to the front and stops to kiss his
mother. A quick trip is made to the
dressing room and then O'Brien, with
his trainers, comes dashing along the
beach to the improvised ring.
At Long Beach Tommy Burns pur-
sues the usual course of daily training
and goes after his sparring partners
with a vengeance. The long delay be-
tween ropes, when O'Brien objected to
Burns belt, is also depicted. with the
Philadelphia dancing in the ring as
Burns adherents make known their OBJ
jections.
The memorable fifth round, when
Burns let fly with his evil right, whirls
to view and the Quakers wonderful
footwork in saving himself appears
wildly.
Jim Jeffries, who refereed, is seen in
all his mammoth proportions stepping
between the men and breaking them
with his great strength.
The pictures will be exhibited
throughout the week.

SAN DIEGO WINS
DEL REY RACES
CAPTURES EVERY AQUATIC
EVENT
Local oarsmen Lose Four-Oared Race
by Scant Margin and Give the
Southerners a Hard
Rub

Despite a drizzling rain which con-
tinued throughout the day at Playa del
Rey, some 500 spectators braved the
elements yesterday and witnessed the
boat races between the San Diego Row
ing club and Los Angeles Athletic club
oarsmen.
Those who made the beach trip, how
ever, were we'll rewarded for their eff
forts, as the four-oared race was in
doubt until San Diego crossed the fin
ishing line perhaps a half length to
the fore. Angel city oarsmen per-
formed beyond expectations of their
most optimistic supporters and it was
only by a supreme effort that San
Diego was able to nose in ahead.
Starting upstream quarters of
a mile above the boat house, Coach
F'ranklin's Los Angeles crew assumed
the lead and were apparently winners,
when the San Diego boys overlook
them opposite the Playa del Rey hotel
and flashed across the line by a half
length.
The finishing yards resulted in a
spectacular squirt, the local men en-
deavortng gamely to make up the lost
vantage. Not a slip occurred to mar
the performance of either crew and
the race was won on merits.
AS the crews drew out for the start
ing line they appeared in splendid ply
.sical condition and 1t was evident that
"a strong contention would be made.
THE San Diego boys were larger and
probably possessed an advantage of
weight If they rowed according to form.
Coach Franklin. however, has had his
men training thoroughly and their
strong finish showed a fitness for the
gruelling struggle which occurred.
So close was the finish that the meth
ods of Coaches Courtney and Franklin
appeared equally effective, though the
local director has had far more of a
handicap to overcome In the raw ma
terial which required development The
members Of the San Diego crew have
rowed for years, their boat house al
San Diego beng within easy access.
Another close finish resulted when
Hackleman of San Diego defeated Ray
Dunnigan OF the Los Angeles Athletic
club by half a length In the three
quarters of mile straightaway race.
Dunnigan is one Of the youngest ath-
letic club rowers and possesses the
makings OF a fast oarsman. New al

a hard run for first place.

Rain played havoc with the Chutes

Arrangements have been partially
completed for two games to be played,
one at San Diego and one at Santa

Burbank Patrons May Rejoice, al
Henry Stockbridge Has Come
Back Once More

Henry Stockbridge will return to the
ranks of the Burbank theater stock
company next week, playing his old
part in Hoyts comedy, "A Texas
Steer" which Manager Morosco will
offer after the production of Leah
Kleschna," now doing capacity busi-
ness.
Mr.. Stockbridge has been away for
over two months looking after his share
of large estate. His absence has
been keenly felt by regular Burbankers
and his return next week should prove
a most enjoyable event, as he is with
out question one c. the most popular
young comedians that has played in
Los Angeles. His greatest hit was
doubtless scored when Manager Mo-
rosco staged Lost, Strayed or Stolen" !"
in which he sang his role with all the
eclat and sangfroid of veteran.
