READY no GO nv TRAINING

A rousing rally in Encina clubroom
last night, attended by practically the
entire student body, gave the track
athletes a send-off on their season OF
hard work in preparation for the big
spring meet. Speeches by Captain Mac
farland, Trainer Dad" Moulton and
Student Body President Laumeister
were the features of the evening.
The call for new men TO fill the
ranks depleted by the scholar
ship committee occasioned a hearty re-
sponse, and a host of new men volun-
teered to take up the arduous work of
training. Trainer Moulton figures that
by the midyear funk OUT he has
been deprived of forty-hye points

proved a master hand. In the third
round both tried slugging tactics and
again Leahy seemed in his element.
He scored often to both head and body.
but the power TO stop his opponent was
not there. Leahy maintained his speed
in the last round and his opponent who
showed a lack of condition. could make
no stand against him. The decision
properly went to Leahy.
Jack Sweeney outgamed Jack Turner
in the first round of their bout. The
pair started off at a lightning pace
and Sweeney was quickly knocked
down. After that he had matters all
his own way. He sent Turner through
the ropes twice and then knocked him
down repeatedly. Turner knew when
enough was sufficient and remained on
his knees until his seconds tossed a
towel into the ring signaling defeat.
Jack Evans outfought Rudy Movre
after four hard rounds. The winner
had a slight advantage in weight and
maintained g. lead throughout. Movre
was game and aggressive, but he could
not solve his opponents defense. He
was best at slugging and was trying
all the time.
Al Schrier outslugged Coal Oil"
Roche in four hard rounds. Schrier
had his left eye badly cut at the first
exchange of wild swings and was at a
disadvantage during the opening round.
In the second he knocked Roche down
twice and kept him on the defensive
during the remainder of the fight.
Neither had any style. but they were
both hard hitters and their wild swings
amused the spectators.

John ]. Ryan Asked to Keep
Away From Ascot Track

Los ANGELES. Jan. 1s.-The racing
al Ascot today was below the average
in interest, attendance and sport. The
day was practically without special fea-
lures.
John J. Ryan, better known as

and once a plunger OF note, has been
requested by the officials at Ascot Park
10 remain away in future.

that offense and when he made his
appearance here a few days ago and
began playing large amounts on the
horses bookmakers who held some OF
his paper at LatOnia ana who are now
at Ascot asked him to pay the old in
debtedness. He declined to do so, and
they reported the matter 10 the judges.
Then followed the polite intimstiOn
that Rvan's room was more desirable
than his company at the local track.
Bookmaker Jack Atkin viii retire
from the turf as an owner after Janu-
ary 26, al which date he Will sell the
horses now running in his name. He
declares that his retirement viii be
permanent and that he never again viii
become an owner OF race horses, at
least not until he quits booking.
This determination has been brought
about by q desire TO harmonize hts
relations with the turf and the public
and 10 place himself beyond criticism.
He says that criticism does not affect
him as he has been racing horses
more than twenty years and in all that
period has never been called into the

LIKES HUSBANDS COMPANY
Nora Earl Leaves Good Home for
Spouse

Nora Earl, the girl arrested in tnls
city July 2, disguised as a man, and
who, since the day following her ar
rest, has been living with Mr. and Mrs
Jinks of the Salvation Army, left FOR
Spokane today.
She recently received a post card
from her husband. saying he was at
Spokane and working at Whites hotel.
He asked if she needed anything and
told her if she did to write to him and
he would send her the money.
She was not wanting any OF the
comforts of life and, through the kind
ness of Mr. and Mrs Jinks was granted
many of the minor luxuries but she
did Ions 2Dr the man who had app1r-
emily deserted her. So, because it was
her wish, she was put on board train
bound for Spokane today. She was
dressed in the Salvation Army uniform.
In addition to buying her ticket and
fitting her out with clothes, her bene
factors gave her money so that she
would not arrive at her destination
penniiess.
Though the girl gave her age to the
police as Is, she told girl with whom
she chummed while here, that she was
but 16 years old. Further than this she
revealed but little of her past history.
1t is the opinion of those with whom
she associated that she ran away from
home with young Earl to escape brutal
treatment at the hands of her father,
who ran a wild west show in Texas
1t was her duty in the show to ride
bucking broncos throw the lasso and
perform other such featS.

POLLS IN CITY ELECTION CLOSED TOO
EARLY UNDER THE new STATE LAW
Statutes Are Mandatory in Opening Election Booths at O'Clock
in the Morning and Closing at O'Clock at Might
Special Election Must Be Held

The question came up through the
and closing of the polls had not pee..
observed.
On page 5S1 of the laws of 1907 the
section providing for the opening and
closing of the polls is found and is
mandatory and says: 'the polls snail
be opened at eight o'clock a. m. and
closed at eight o'clock p. m.'
The polls in the last city election
were opened at o'clock in the morn
ing, but were closed at Z o'clock in
stead of s o'clock in the evening.
A number of able attorneys of the
city, when consultt d this morning, de-
clared their belief that any qualified
elector who took the necessary legal
action could bring about ruling that
the candidates voted upon in that cleo
ton are not legally entitled to their
seats in the council or to offices.
The chief interest centers around the
office of city attorney for which Oscar
Cain was declared elected over H. ).
BlandfOrQ by Inc SInall plurality VI -
votes. There has been much dissatis-
faction over the election of Cain ow-
ing to the general belief an agreement
had been entered into to increase the
salary of city attorney in case he was
elected. 1t is more on this account
that steps will be taken to dispute the
legality of the last election.
AS now planned members and Off
cials, of the democratic central commit
tee will investigate the legal status Of
the matter today and if it is decided
the case has standing in court, they
will at once take the necessary steps
to prevent the candidates chosen from
taking office.
The officers of the democratic COM
mttee to take up the matter are Chair
man Drumheller and Secretary
Wilbur A Toner.

join the clarionet section of the
Eagles band.
Another addition to this depart

son of the leader. He is also a fine
musician and will materially strength
en- the band.
Too much can be said in praise of
the popular musical organization
which has been growing so rapidly
this year.
Leader Herric has been untiring in
his efforts to add to the band and un-
der his direction it is becoming one
of the best in the northwest. The
music dispensed this year is just
what the people want and all are
pleased by the way in which the
band has developed.

be DONE" said Chairman Drumheller
this morning. I'VE are just going
over the matter in order to ascertain
the legal status of the case. A de
cision may be reached later today
Several attorneys consulted on the
matter" said Secretary Toner have
agreed the election is illegal. We aie
now looking into the best methods OF
procedure. 1t is probable we may
bring an action enjOining the city
council from canvassing the vote next
Tuesday night on the ground the cleo
tion was illegal and thus prevent re-
turns being made. Also we may cOun-
sci the officers now in to refuse to
turn over their offices to the recent
candidates in the city ele.tion-or we
may do BOTH
City Attorney Blandford declined to
discuss the question declaring the mat
ter was in the hands of the central
committee and it was for the party
to act first.
Any elector has the right to bring
action TO prevent the council from
canvassing the vote and it is likely
such moves will be made by indivio
ualS.
Other candidates in the last election
refuse to discuss the question until
the attorneys have made up their
opinions.
In case the action proposed to pre-
vent the council from canvassing tho
vote is taken, Chief of oPlice Brown
will continue to hold office instead Of
Mike Davis, just elected. The old
councilmen, Kirkman and Glasford will
remain in office. as will Sexton Bentley
and City Attorney Blandford and AS
SCISSOR Cadman.
In the event the court holds the
election illegal, it will be necessary for
the city to hold a special election, ne
cessitating another campaign for the
candidates.
