ASCOT HEARS
CALL Of TURF
BOOKER ARRIVES FOR
WINTER CAMPAIGN
Rumors of Track War Prevail, but
Battle Flag Has Not as Yet Been
Hoisted-T axed for Stable
Accommodation

Racing is in the air again and with
each day some new arrival, owner,
jockey or horses brings to mind the
fact that Ascot will soon be a center
of attraction for those who delve in
things of the turf.
Jockey A. w. Booker who chalked
up a lengthy list of winners at the
local track last season, arrived in the
city yesterday prepared for the COM
ing campaign. With Jockey Booker
is his brother, Hal Booker, who is
managing string of horses which
are expected to repeat some of their
past seasons performances. On the
string are Gilpin and the Gadfly which
were favorites with the talent last
year.
Rumors and rumblings of a turf war
are at present disturbing the Ascot
situation though actual evidence has
not been brought to bear that battle
flags will be hoiSted Baldwin says he
desires no war, while the Ascot man
agement minated that there will be
trouble in store for the new venture.
Just how Lucky" may be thwarted
in his plans cannot be determined at
the present moment, as an outlaw
track could be brought into existence
as a last resource should his park be
placed under the ban.
Colonel Brooks is undergoing busy
time endeavoring to reserve accom-
modations for the large number Of
horSemen who have signified an in
tention of wintering at Ascot and al
ready all available stalls have been
applied for.

BRITISHERS MAY
PLAY AT RUGBY
PAT HIGGINS TO FOSTER ENGLISH
TEAM
Games Will Be Secured with Univer-
sity Men and Canadian Teams
If Arrangements Can
Be Made

Rugby football promises to be given
an additional impetus in the formation
of an English team which is contem-
plated by Britishers of Los Angeles
who intend to schedule games with
the northern universities if arrange
ments can be made.
Pat Higgins, well known Aus
tralian athlete and former st. Vincent
track man, is fostering the proposition
and hopes to secure a strong aggrega-
tion. In addition to being fast field
man Higgins holds the 100-ya"d swim
ming championship of Southern Cali
fornia.
Englishmen have decided that Rugby
may be given greater impetus by ex-
hibitions with native talent embodied
and to that effect have negotiated with
several Canadian teams for contests
to be held in Los Angeles.
Among those who would prove strong
aspirants for such team are:
T.. G. Alather, one of the most famous
goal klckers of England; Norman
Dehsham, the Pomona coach; F. Adds,
of the Los Angeles Athletic club; f.
and H. Justice and Louis Carpenter.

HOW GAINES AND
BEALL WERE MATCHED

A little story lies behind the Gaines
Beall preliminary match which was
made last week.
Beall, 1t appears, did not think much
of Gaines and was searching for some
thing on q larger scale. Gaines had
wandered into the same predicament.
The big butcher WHO defeated Godfrey
recently is managed by a very proud
brother, who believes that Bill some
thing Of a conner Consequently he
hied himself to Manager McCarey's
office the other day and there made a
speech in behalf of Bill for go with
the Turk
Along came Beall also on pleasure
bent After sizing up I3eall the brother
decided that Bills meat was at hand.
Brother possesses slight impedi-
ment of speech which necessltates
more or less time. but nevertheless is
very effective. Beall put i'm nice plea
tending toward a match with the Turk
and brother harkened. When Beall
had concluded he spoke up:
"H-h-how wo-wo-would y-y-ou
l-l-ike a g-g-o wi-wi-th Bu-Bu-bill?"
Nothing stirring for Beall, and he came
back with:
I'm not looking for dubs."
Said Bllis brothers
"W-w-ell Bu-bu-blll's not $3.50
p-p-p-articular."
Within two minutes the match was
made.

Miss Hogan's parents forbid her further
participation in the game.

place at center, and the university has
good new material in Miss Augur of
L. A. high school, Miss Gerard of On

Coach Best says that with Thornton
and Montgomery as a nucleus, he will

AGREE ON RATE BILL.
Unanimous Report of Committee
assures Success IN House.
From The Tribune RureauN

washington Jan. 2S-A unanimous agreement on
the Railroad Rate bill to be reported to the House
was reached this afternoon by the Interstate and
Foreign Commerce Committee. A compromise was
effected by which the Democrats obtained a slight
modification Of certain clauses, though the bill in
all essentials is substantially that introduced by
Representative Hepburn, OF Iowa, chairman OF the
committee and the measure will be known the
Hepburn bill The support of the entire eighteen
members of the committee makes certain the pas
sage of the bill by the House and, in the opinion
of the members of the commission. this combined
action viii increase the chances for favorable
action in the Senate.
The main point of difference between the Repub-
Hcans and Democrats which was settled this after
noon-practcally the only one which has hitherto
prevented an agreement-was that relating to the
use Of the word maximum applied to a rate.
In the original Hepburn bill the Interstate Com
rnerce Commission was empowered TO fix a maxi
mum reasonable rate" Tho Democrats on the
committee objected the Of the word maxi
num- the ground that It was not sufficiently
definite. This afternoon these objections were met
by an agreement to change the wording so that It
reads "a just. reasonable and fairly renuneratWe
rate. which shall be the maximum rate"
Unanimous agreement was reached on the point
that the bill shall provide for seven members on
the Interstate Commerce Commission instead OF
nlne as was provided in the first draft Of the
measure. The definition Of the term railroad was
enlarged TO include switching and spur tracks and
10 make il apply 10 station yards, and the pro-
ments entirely within territory, thus extending
the scope Of interstate commerce
section of the Davey bill requiring that the
Attorney General in appealed cases shall file the
certificate necessary TO expedite the hearing was
incorporated in the amended bill. Another amend,
ment provides that orders Of the commission SHAH
continue in force for three years unless repealed
No existing cases are TO be affected by the bill
and all laws relating TO witnesses and the conduct
ing Of hearings before the commission are 10 be
continued.
Mr.. Hepburn expects to make a favorable report
on the bin 10 the House to-morrow, and expresses
the House within a week. Representative Town
send will open the debate on the bill
