University OF Southern California are en-
tering into all branches of athletic en-.
deavor this year with unusual interest

been run off, and challenges have beer
sent to the northern universities and te
the southern colleges for contests 10 be
pulled off early in the spring.
During the interim the players will meet
number of local tennis teams in prac-
tice sets. Manager Keogh of the club has

outing via the white winged yacht to San
Diego, where a secon,- tournament will be
played with the crack club of San Diego
Y. Nj. G. A. Returning to the city the
team will meet the tennis team of the l..
A. high school and it is hoped that one of
the northern teams will see their way to
come south for match affair with the
law players some time during the holi-
days.
While portion of the men are engaged
in tennis a goodly number Of other stu
dents are devoting their attention to bas-
ketball and strong team Is now al
work. The five played a practice game
recently with pickup team from The
liberal arts department, winning the game
by score of 16 to 4. The team is COM
posed of veterans, and an attempt will be
made to enter the five in the Southern
California league and fun schedule will
be arranged with the other southern col
lege teams. Newmjre, formerly captain OF
the San Pedro high school five, is cap
tain of the law team, and is one of the
strongest players on the squad. Folsom

crack ST. Vincent team, ana played a
similar position. Wall and Self, guards.
gained their early knowledge of the game
playing with l.. A. high school and should
have little difficulty In making the team.
Richardson IS a likely contribution from
the east, having formely played with the
Colorado Agricultural college In all
probability a match game will be played
with the team from the dental depart
ment OF the university some time this
week The latter school has but recently
organized a five and are anxious to test
their strength against the lawyers.

SIX PLAYERS TO
ENTER TOURNAMENT
BILLIARD CHAMPIONS WILL BE
IN BIG EVENT
Sweepstake Is Planned, with Plenty
of Money Added to $3.50 a
Corner Required from
Entrants

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-Six of the best
American professional billiard players
will probably take part in a national l4l
ball1 line championship tournament to be
held in New York about the second week
in January. Experts want game that
viii be less tiresome and tedious than
the 1S1 balk line game and more diff
cult that the 1872 game. To accomplish
this the 141 tournament is being ar
ranged.
With the exception of this tournament,
New York will be without tournament
OF note. The entries will include George
sosson Maurice DAILY Jacob Schaefer
George Sutton, Ora Morningstar and A.
H. Cutler 1t is hoped that Willie Hoppe,
who is at present giving exhibitions at
Amsterdam, Holland, will return in time
10 take part in the tournament.
1t is planned to make the champion
ship tournament a sweepstake affair,
with 500 or $3.50 corner, to which will
be added purse and the gate receipts.
1t is expected that by limiting the en-
tries to American players only the pub
lie will show more interest in the games,
as there is no Frenchman of sufficient
prominence to bring over.
Sosson DAILY, Schaefer and Sutton are
well known and apparently about evenly
matched. Morningstar and Cutler are
promising PAYERS and have shown abl-
ity TO hold their own in fast company
With these six entered a good tourna-
ment is assured
IT is expected that the project Will ma
terialize this week and that conditions
to govern the tournament will be APP
proved and accepted within short time.
The payers are all practicing in antioi-
patton of the tourney.

YACHTERS TO
MAKE MERR Y
SOUTH COAST CLUB WILL HOLD
CLOSING FESTIVITIES
Banquet and Awarding Of Trophies
viii Occur at San Pedro Quarters
Saturday-season Was
Successful

Members of the South Coast Yacht
club are busy preparing for the closing
festivities of the year, which will be
held at the San Pedro club house next
Saturday. The annual banquet, which
is the big feature, is promised a good at
tendance, and the usual custom of hand
ing out the trophies won by the differ
ent yachts during the summer will be
followed.
This will be the last event of the year,
and until opening time late next spring
there will be no regular functions in club
circles. An occasional dance may be i'm
dulged in, but for the most part the San
Pedro quarters will be given over to the
steward and the occasional members
who may go down for a weeks end stay.
The season has been most successful
one and the club is remarkably strong,
both in numbers and yachts. About the
only defeat of the year which really
bothered the local sailors was that whicl
occurred when the Nalkyrie lost on San
Francisco bay, but the brilliant per-
formances all summer more than offset
this.
The official notice to members is as
follows:
"The entertainment committee an
nounces that Immediately after the close
of the special meeting on Saturday even
ing, November 23 the closing banquet
for the season of 1907 will be held, AS is
customary on this occasion, the cups
won by the different yachts in the squad
ron will be presented and during the
course of the banquet a resume of the
principal events of the season of 1901
will be given.
1.-THE tickets to this banquet will be
sold at So Der plate and members have
the privilege of bringing one guest not
member of the club. In order for the
committee to provide satisfactorily for
the accommodation OF persons desiring
to attend the banquet it Is earnestly re-
quested that the members will ill out
and return the postal card inclosed here
with, stating their intention of being
present or their inability to attend, as
the case may be-
'In order to accommodate members
desiring to attend the special meeting
and banquet special car will be run,
leaving the Pacific Electric depot, Los
Angeles, at 6:45 on Saturday evening,
November %, returning leaving the club
house about 1880. Persons who desire
to go down on this car are requested not
to purchase the ordinary Pacific Electric
ticket, as it will not be accepted for
passage. Buy your tickets on the car
from the committee in charge. The re-
turn fare will be IS cents, or 4, cents one
way for members who desire to stay
over night at the club house.
''The board OF directors announce that
in accordance with arrangements now
made members can obtain meals at the
Club cafe upon giving the steward rea-
sonable notice, in orcer to enable him 10

Hen Berry will carry out his promise to
give the fans winter baseball when the
Angels and All Stars meet at Chutes
park this afternoon, and record-break-
ing crowd is expected to turn out to
show how appreciative the horsehide
flends can be when they like a diamond

for boosting. and some OF the greatest
players IN tne country are among the

MeCloskey's work with Philadelphia
and Baltimore has made him famous
wherever the fans fan. Courtney OF the
Phillles IS remembered as a former An
gel Brashear, brother of our own Kitty,
delivers warm article when it comes
tor the national game. Shehan, the old
Pittsburg star is still shining in the
same old sky Raymer, beloved by the
old-timers as Il former Los Angeles cap
tain, made good with vengeance on the
Boston team. Then there is Buck
Francks, who has been managing the
Omaha Western leaguers, and all the
frenzies recall his daring deeds on the
coast as an Oakland pirate In days
gone by.
The lineup of the Angels will be the
same, with two exceptions. Berry has
nailed Dan Sheay for short and Jake
Beckley will cover Dillon's bag. Beckley
is an old National Lacquer with great
reputation ms slugger, and is known
to the multitude as Eagle Eye"

and McCloskey, pitchers; Courtney, first;
Roy Brashear, second; Buck Francks,

BROWNS BASEBALL
PROSPECTS GLOOMY
SEVEN VARSITY MEN WILL NOT
RETURN TO COLLEGE
Entering Glass May Save Season, as
Several Clever Players Are
Expected to Enroll as
Freshmen

PROVIDENCE, r. l., Nov. 16-Brown
has lost seven men of last years varsity
baseball squad, and the chances for u
good team next spring do not, therefore,
appear to be particularly good. The best
thing to be said is that Raymond and
Nourse will be back, and Nourse was ac-
counted among the best oe the college
pitchers. Raymond led the team in bat
ting He was the receiving end of the
battery.
Buss. who pitched three games last
year, and Bliss of the 1910 class team are
available IS pitchers. Minnerly, who
was on the varsity squad a year ago and
who has played on his class team for
two years, is expected to play first base.
Regneer, sophomore is liked for second
base McGurdy is likely to be short stop,
and Budlong probably will play third
base. Dennis, for two years at center
field, has every chance of being there
again. Hennessey and Pryor, new men,
are likely to get the other outfield places.
The entering class us said to include
some brilliant basebau men, and good
freshman team is looked for. Staff of
Brockton high, Heman of Medford high
and Clark of Morris academy are all
pitchers who have made excellent prep
school records. Numan, catcher from
Morris academy, has played with Clark,
and they will probably make an effective
battery. Giles, from Springfield, comes
with n good record. Sadopsky, a short
stop from Washintogn Irving school and
Church of Phillips Brooks school of
Philadelphia, also are known to be reli-
abIe men. Winslow, who played on the
Dean team last year, Swint of East Bos-
TON high. and MacDougal OF Goodhlll
high also are promising candidates.

Man

NEW YORK. Nov. 16.-Friday the cur
season of 1907, and this year will be one
TO stand out In the annals of the turf
in more respects than one. The greatest
achievement Of the year was the showing
OF the Keene horses. Their winnings
amounting TO S402691 make James r.
eene the largest Individual winner in n
single season in the history of the turf
Mr.. Keene had the good fortune of hay-
Ing the greatest 2-year-old winner of the
year, as we'll as the two best 3-year-olds
and had not Peter Pan gone wrong last
July Mr.. Keene's winnings would have
greatly exceeded 100000 the mark he is
greatly exceed 100000 the mark he has
been striving for.
Colin, the champion 2-year-old is one
of the greatest horses that has ever been
bred in this country. He retired unbeat-
en-, winning a dozen races despite the
fact that there was an unusually good
crop of 2-year-olds out this season. Colin
Is a grandson of the dead Domino, who
also went through his 2-year-old career
without defeat. Domino won $l80,0S5 In
nine starts
James r. Keene, who has achieved this
wonderful success on the turf this year
has had Il most romantic life. He WAS
horn in London in 1888, his father being
a merchant. The family emgrated to
California in 1859. and Keene started life
on ranch at the age of l6- In three
months he saved sufficient money to buy
mining outfit and he spent several
years prospecting. freightihg. mining and
stock raising. After period as editor of
western paper he became connected
with Senator FELTON, and managed his
business on the San Francisco stock ex-
change for two years. fIe ultimately
bought Feton's seat and became in
course of time president of the exchange
lie made over $5O00.O0O by buying and
selling the famous Comstock lode, and
he lost sl2, 900 600 in wheat in 1SSO-1sS1
but regained the money in other speeu-
lations 1t is about twenty-five years
since he began stock operating in New
York.
Mr. Keene has many hobbies, the turf
seeming to be his favorite. He reckons
that he has spent about 100000 year
for fifteen years on his breeding farm
in Kentucky. He has raced more or less
Extensively in England and made tre-
mendous hit and heaps of money with
the celebrated FoXhall in the "Ameri-
can year of 1881, when he won both the
Cesarewtch and Cambridgeshire stakes.
But 1907 will always be known as Mr..
Keenes most successful season on the

NEW YORK. Nov 16,-In future the

trolled by the intercollegiate association.
This action was taken at a joint meet
Ing of the executive and advisory COM
u.itteeS of the. association he'd at the

Only one of the seven records estab-
lshed at the last championships was de-
cided-that of John Garrels Michigan's S
hurdler. Garrels did the high hurdles in
IL 10 seconds, but the committee decid-
ed that the time was made with a strong
favoring wind and therefore the time was
unacceptable. The records passed favor
ably upon were: Guy Haskins CPennsyl-

TWIN WILL
COME TODAY
WIRED THAT HE WOULD LEAVE
ON OWL TRAIN
ToupeeIess Wonder Probably viii
Train at Arcadia, and Kid Farmer
Has East Side Club in
Sight

Mike Twin Sullivan will be in Los An
geles this morning, If the telegram the
thrifty one sent Tom McCarey yesterday
is to be believed Michael stated that he
would be IN on the Owl and that he was
all ready to sign up for the match with
Farmer Monday morning.
The Kid ia already on the ground and
talk of locating training camps is al
ready in the air. In all probability
Farmer will stay with the East Side Ath-
letic club and Sullivan has been asked
to return to his old quarters at the Oak
wood inn, Arcadia.
Sully is one of the most popular men
who ever held forth at the Baldwin :
ranch resort. and together with Brother
Jawn was the star attractions at Jack
Doyles house for some time. The larger
member of the Sullivan trust must stay
In Frisco to prepare for his fight with
AL Kaufman, and cannot be here to
help Mike i'm his training for Farmer.
Manager McCarey will endeavor to get
in ut least two battles before the ten
round phase of the new boxing ordinance
becomes effective. 1t does not look much
like Flynn and Lansford now, as the
Pueblo man has not announced himself
for some days. The rumor is that he
has been promised Thanksgiving date
up north, and if the dope is correct the
local promoter has no chance to land
him away from the Frisco aggregation.
Mikes Fine System
AS usual Mike Twin will conduct his
own training. and with his usual regard
for the condition of the money market
will not be burdened with too many
trainers. A~couple of boys to box with
and rub him down is all the Twin re-
quires, and these can be picked up from
among the local pork and beaners Dusty
Miller, who has hopes of getting on with
Joe Smith as preliminary to the match,
will try to land a berth at the Arcadia
camp, and should make good use of the
work Mike win hand him
Able Attell, who brought Farmer out
here. viii be in charge of the East Side
camp, and Will endeavor to impart some
of his cleverness to the Kid. Farmer
has been out of the game for some time,
with the exception of his recent battle
with the Turk, and this should prove a
point in his favor, for he will be more
apt to pick up the new ideas Able has
to spring.
Manager McCarey of the Pacific Ath-
letic club is still in the mountains at
Sierra Madre, and from all reports the
climate is doing him world of good
Mac telephoned in yesterday and stated
his willingness to meet any 1S5-poundeI
in the business, give or take five pounds
so there must be something in the at
mosphere out there that is certainly a
help.
None of the ten-round shows have been
figured on, as up to last night there was
a slight chance that the mayor would
not sign the ordinance presented to him
and would refer it back to the council
This was only hope expressed by a
stockholder in the Pacific Athletic club
and was not entertained by the majority
Those who follow city hall doings were
certain that the mayor would sign up
all right. and since he is reported &c
have done so, within the next five weeks
bouts Of over ten rounds will be barred
in the city.
