where Dick and Ray Dunigan will

Baseball games will be seen at sew

against each other. The newly organ
lied winter league will play off three
of the games on it's schedule.
All the hotels in the city have pre-
pared specially arranged menus. At the
Alexandra, the Lankershim and the
Angelus the dinners served will be the
most attractive, while at the Hollen-
beck menu containing all the deli
cacies Of the season and one such as
has seldom been been attempted in
this city for the day will be served.
In the suburban cities the hotels have
also arranged high class diners, the
one to be served at the Raymond hotel
in Pasadena ranking with those served
by the finest chefs in the land, while
Hollywood will also rank with the
highest.
1t is not necessary for the residents
of this city who are away from home
to go to these high-class hotels for
real Thanksgiving dinner, as even the
cheaper restaurants have arranged to
give patrons dinners such as are not
served on any other day. Even those
who canot afford to go to restaurants
will be made happy, as the charitable
societies of the city have for days
been preparing baskets of edibles to
give to deserving poor families who
are without means of purchasing the
luxuries which are enjoyed by the re-
mainder of the world. Members of the
Salvation Army and Volunteers of

subscriptions to be devoted to this
cause, and since yesterday noon have

No citizen of Los Angeles need suffer
from lack of amusement today, as pro-
grams of diversified and attractive
features have been arranged at the
different parks, theaters and places of
amusement in the city, and with golf,
tents, harness racing. football and the
opening of Ascot park, the day will be
one when every person can find some
place to go.
Although the residents OF this city
will so far follow in the footsteps of
the Pilgrim fathers as to participate
in turkey dinners, they will change to
great extent the other forms of
amusement indulged in by the early
settlers and instead of practicing with
race track to see blooded animals pitted
against each other, to the football
fields, or to the great automobile hill
climb at Riverside.
Ascot to Open
Probably the feature which will at
tract the greatest attention will be
the opening days races at Ascot park.
The fascination about horse race
which causes men to leave their desks
and assemble around the judges stand
will, without doubt, be working with
renewed strength today, and the
track will be thronged with an eager
crowd to witness the races.
To football enthusiasts this is the
greatest day in the year, as the
championship games are always played
on Thanksgiving. This is true this
year, when the University of Southern
California and the Sherman Indians
will meet at Fiesta park and contest
for the championship of Southern Cali
fornia. College circles are showing the
greatest interest in this game and
thousands OF rooters will be on hand
to watch the struggles of the univer-
sity men who feel confident they will
be able to turn the tables on their
hitherto successful opponents.
Another place which will be thronged
with spectators is Agricultural park,
for there the members Of the Los An
geles Harness Horse association will
entertain with matinee races, the first
of the season. Each year the number
of persons who attend the harness races
increases and 1t is predicted the crowd
today will be a record breaker.
The women golfers of the Los An
geles Country club will also have their
innings this Afternoon when the con-
test for the vice presidents trophy is
called. The women are taking great
interest In this contest, which was only
recently added to the number of at
traetiVe features of the sport.
There will be few automobiles in
the city today, as the average autoist
will be on his way to Riverside there
to either participate I'm or watch the
climb up Box Springs hill. This con-
test has been in existence only little
