GOOD CARD

McCAREY WILL STAGE BUNCH
OF SHORT BOUTS
Main Event Weakest Spot on Pro.
gram, as Memslc Apparently
Outclasses UnhoIz-Jock-
eys to Battle

Manager McCarey yesterday completed
the program which will be staged at the
Cabin on the third of next year, and
from the looks of it three of the four
numbers ought TO be ali TO the fine The
main event is apparently the weak spot
on the card, for unless Rudy Unholz Is
some fighter he is due for trimming.
Kerrie Patch, the pride of the Santa
Anita barns, will be put on with Jimmy
Austin for six rounds, Jockey Worthing-
ton and Eddie Menney are slated for ten
acts, Dannie Webster and Kid Bell will
mingle over the same route, and for a
windup Unholz will be made the fall guy
for George Memsic. This is the way
McCarey fixed them yesterday, and it is
about as nice a bunch as could be gath
cred into one evenings fun.
When 1t comes to the real slugfest Kar-
rots and Austin ought to furnish the
ticket. The jockey is slam bang lit
tie fellow, and tears in to do his best
all the way Austin likes the gaff a
little himself and when he and Kar-
rots hook up there will be something
doing.
Worthington has been looking for a
lob In the local arena for some time.
and has picked cut a tough boy to start
on. The ex-steeplechaser is some of
mixer. and as Menney has already SHOWN
a desire to slug in between sparring ex-
hibitions they will undoubtedly put up a
whirlwind battle.
Kid Bell is the little Denver dinge
who has made good all the way He has
never been defeated, and thinks Webster
will be easy money for him. Dannie
must think so a little himself, for he
turned down the side bet proposition and
will fight on winner take all basis
Unholz and Memsic are already at
work training for their part of the show.
The Boer wonder has taken up quarters
at the East Side club, but Memsic does
not figure on having to do much save
reduce his weight, and is content to
use his home as gymnasium George
is within five pounds of the weight al
ready and does not anticipate much
trouble in knocking off the rest when
weighing-in time comes.

CHIPPEWA AND WARNING
SPOIL START OE CLOSER

The start for the closing number on
program was marred when Warning and
Chippewa. the favorite, got away slight
ly tangled Giovanni Balerio, F. e. Shaw
and Sentado broke well, and the first
two did all the early work. F. E. Shaw
was an easy winner, with Giovanni sec
ond and Chippewa third.
Balerio and Shaw started out to make
it a two-horse race, and at the hrst
quarter were a head apart, leading the
pack by seven lengths. F. E. Shaw as
sumed the lead at the three-quarters,
and came away at the wire to win by a
length. Giovanni Balerio was a length
and half in front of Chippewa, which
1nished stoutly, but was not good enough
to get up after the bad break.

ACROBAT GALLoPs AND
LOWERS RECORD FOR MILE

Acrobat, leading from start to finish
established a new coast record for one
mile when he stepped the distance in
1877 3-5, and at that he only galloped at
the end. There was nothing in the race
to make Acrobat really hustle, and Burns
was sitting still all the way Col. Jack
ran a nice race and was two lengths
back for the place position, with Marster
third Orilene, which stuck around the
pace for ways, was the "also.'
Acrobat broke out of the chute like a
shot, and led all the way by from one
to four lengths. Orilene followed the
pace until the three-quarters, where she
backed up and allowed Col. Jack and
Marster to get what was left of the
purse

Despite twelve-horse field Canique
was heavily played at short price to
annex the seven furlong event. and he
more than justified the support by win
ming in gallop, five lengths ahead of
Halle Sherman, which beat Alma Boy
head for the place.
Burns took his time about getting
Canique under way and let Dulcinea and
Bellemence carry him along for half a
mile Here he rushed Canique into a
commanding lead and was only galloping
at the wire. Halle Sherman and Alma
Boy made up ground and when the pace
followers had enough they came along

" Carman's colt Acrobat, with moth
ing in the race to make him run, nego-
tiated the distance yesterday in 1871 3d.
and had he been urged all the way might
have equaled the mark of 1887 2-5 set by
Kamesha and Dick We.les.
There was nothing in the field Of three
opposed to him to make Acrobat really
run He broke out of the mile chute
like a flash and at once assumed COM
mand. Orilene essayed to stick for a
while, but Acrobat gradually drew away
from her and was never in danger. Al
the end Burns was sitting still and at
that managed to clip fifth of a second
the best mark for the distance ever
made.
Three favorites, two second choices and
a John Brink special cut the good pro-
gram into six pats. and the day was
not the most prosperous on record for
the money handlers. Big bets marked
the afternoon as an unusual one and
Canique and Barbette alone helped sting
the block men for nice bundles. f. E.
Shaw was an open good thing in the last
and despite heavy play on Chippewa
the Pasadena trick relieved the store
keepers of some money.

ance on the Santa Anita track with a
maiden filly called Rosegal and she was
easily the class of the second race. Rose
gal was played from high price of

latter was we'll backed as favorte. but
