SULLY WORKING
WITH VENGEANCE
HERGET WILL PROBABLY act
AS REFEREE
erwin" ReaIizes That He Must Win
Corning Battle or Fall Back a
Step on Pugillstic
Ladder

Twin" Sullivan is APPARENTLY in
position where he must accept Gus
Herget as referee for the battle with
Jim Flynn or go down into his pockets
and find the price necessary to secure
some reputable official.
Tom McCarey says that Twin" has
no right to "holler" over the referee
and should be glad of any old chance
to work in for a second meet with the
fireman.
Molly Mcdonald, who is doing the
talking for Flynn, realizes that he has
Sullivan in tight place and will hold
him there if possible. McCarey is
favorable 10 Herget and it looks as
though Gus will be the third man.
The Pacific Athletic club officials are
evidently impressed with Herget $
ability and are not willing to stand
the expense of securing Jeffries or
some one else who might demand
fancy price for calling a decision or
counting ten.
Whatever the final decision regarding
referee doings, the fact remains that
Flynn and Sullivan will fight to
packed house Tuesday evening, as
both men are favorites with those who
care for a rousing. smashing battle
calculated to end in a knockout unless
the gruelling mixups.
AS in the Attell-Baker bout, condi-
ton will undoubtedly tell So evenly
were the men matched last time that
both were strong on their feet appar-
emily when the final gong sounded. II
either man had shade credit it must
be given Sullivan. That the 1rishman
is working hard goes without saying.
He realizes that there is much at
stake and that lost prestige must be
regained if he is to remain the card
of days past.
Rough and ready, as is Flynn, he
hardly possesses the stamina of Sulli-
van, judging from actions In the ring
as the battle progressed.
Sullivan is one of the O'Brien kind,
who shrewdly skips over certain things
calculated to make a man more or less
of an easy mark when he toes up with
strong opponent. Dissipation has not
entered into Sullivan's life and conse-
uuently he may not be expected to
blow up when the critical moment ar
rives Against such a husky fellow as
Flynn he will need all of the staying
powers.
Mcdonald, who is training Flynn,
apears confident that his man is
primed for battle. AS weight will not
be a question, Mcdonald has no avoir-
dupois problem to solve, which circum-
stance should make the going more
easy than the Baker preparation.

Interolsss Games Give Way to sehed-
ued Battles Between the
Various Instltu-
tons ...

The Southern California track season
will be formally opened next Saturday
afternoon on Bovard field when the
u. S. c. cinder team and the Los An
geles high school athletes meet.
Coach Holmes has chosen an aca-
demic foe order to thoroughly test
the material he has under develop
ment, believing that his men will win
at any event.
The high school boys, however, have
n fast little team and may give the
more experienced men something of a
rub for first honors. IL is not known as
yet whether Charlie Parsons will COM
pete.
Some Inconvenience was experienced
by spectators at the University of
Southern California interclass meet
held recently, when outsiders were per-
mitted to swarm along the side lines,
thereby obstructing-yiew.
The management has taken special
precautions to prevent a recurrence
and no one will be allowed to appear
on the field with exception of officials.

Today's Probabilities

Picking winners for the six races
this afternoon will not be an easy
task and those lucky enough to select
them should be amply compensated, as
in each event the faVorite will be at
even money or better.
The handicap at one mile will be the
feature event and brings out a good
field Of 3-year-olds. Molesey is my
choice, as he has been showing good
form with the aged handicap horses,
but he will have no cinCh, as Kilter
will be right there at the finish.
His last race with Arimo and AM
pedo was an excellent one and he may
beat Molesey. Lord Stanhope and
j. r. Laughrey will probably fight it
out for third honors. Edwin T. Fryer
has an outside chance to be in the
money.
A large field is cardcd to start in the
first race. Piquet. Josie's Jewell and
Susie Christian figure the hest and II
would not be surprising TO see them
finish in this order.
The baby race should go to the Grif-
fin entry, as Creston is one Of the best
colts at the track and with an even
break at the barrier will take a lot OF
beating. Kismet, Jr., figures next best
and will be hard to beat for place hon,
ors, Carman entry will about be third
Orilene showed herself TO be in fin,
fettle when she won her last race auC
weighted as she is today should com,
back and win again. Mandarin is {
good horse right now and if we'll rid
den will be a dangerous factor.
Standover will be bang up at th
finish, but can hardly beat the top two
If Ormonde's Right does not sui
again today he will have a GOO
chance, as he Is going along well II
his morning trials.
The fifth race should go to Norfolk
He beat this bunch before, but vii
have to run TO his best form to hea'
them again. Phil Igoe and Kirkfiell
Belle should be the dangerous factor
and may finish in the order named. DI
Crook will be a contender all the wa
and If anything beats the top one
this will be the most likely one.
La Gloria and Canopian have IN
sixth race between them and shoul
catch the judges eye in this order
Critic looks next best and has onl
Linda Rose to beat for third. Rubino

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.--A wild. hilar--
ious orgy, participated in by nearly all
the f,ftv children of Henrietta school, a

Eleventh avenue, last Friday afternoon,
vas called to the attention of the dis
trict attorney today by Miss M. E. Van

nie bottles of whisky from a boy who

hood and became disgracefully drunk.
Two of them were painfully injured

of their debauch.

against distillery firm which has been

In the city asking the recipient to affix
a one-cent stamp to the attached re-
turn portion and send for sample bot
tie, which will be delivered free of
charge. The sample bottles contain
one-fourth of pint and are delivered
by boys.
