TodaY's Selections

An ordinary card is provided for this
afternoon with no feature event, as
all the races are selling events.
The first race looks a toss up be-
tween Greene and Renraw. If Greene
runs back to his good race when he
finished behind Zethus and Waterbury
he should be the first one to reach the
wire.
Renraw is very fast and has little to
beat for the place. Ell Cazador should
finish inside the money. Kilter has an
outside chance, as he is working well.
Cotillion, if the track dries out, will
have a cake walk in the second race,
as there is nothing in there to make her
extend herself. Foncosta looks next
best and should beat out Mountebank.
The latter is slow beginner, but there
is not much for him to beat to get
third.
Lord of the Forest is in an easy
spot in the third race and should beat
this kind like breaking sticks. Sly Ben
is the dangerous one here and has only
Succeed to beat for place honors. The
other two will only be in the way.
Uncle Henry has only to perform UP
to his last raceto win the fourth event
on the card today, as he stands out
prominently in this race. Viona can
do better than her last two races and
will be right there fighting 1t out at the
finish.
Bauble should finish in the money
I'm Joe is the dark one, as he has not
shown his true form here.
A very bad lot is asked to go mile
in the fifth race. Form, figures and
work make these three the best: Par
vo, Komombo and Lydia Wrouseman
1t would not be surprising to see them
finish In this order. -
Azora is my choice for the sixth race
This mare is a good one and II Boland
handles her well today she will take q
lot of beating, as she Is game and fast
Revolt can do better than her last two
races and she should place here today
with a chance to win. Confessor and
Miss Martha should fight 1t out foi

IF Andrew Carnegie were in Los An
geles at the present he might be OBJ
served in rush to pin one of his
scarce but celebrated medals on the
manly breast of "Muggsy" McGraw.
"Muggsy has acted the role of a hero
many times during his brilliant dia-
mond career, but just now he is
real street hero who rescues fair women
from the dangers of fear-maddened
horses.
Spectacular in the extreme was the
daring Wednesday evening feat of
mighty "Muggsy" related in yester-
day mornings Herald. After the driver
of a carriage in which McGraw with
his wife and lady friend were riding
to the theater had been knocked from
his seat by an electric car, "Muggsy"
performed one of the nerviest feats that
ever sent a Spring street crowd wild
with excitement.
Realizing that the horses were run
ming away, McGraw without an in
carriage reached the reins and chung
to them with the same pertinacity
which has made him the greatest ball
manager in the games history.
Jerked to the ground from the car
riage step, "Muggsy" was hauled along
by the fast going horses while his wife
and friend gazed from the window
white with fear.
The runaways started vt Fourth and
Spring streets and were not brought
to a standstill until Second street had
been reached. "Muggsy" was in a dan
gerous position as the carriage swayed
and rolled over the sloppy pavement
At times he went to his knees. but the

BERRY ELECTED
CLUB MANAGER
FRANK DILLON WILL ACT AS
CAPTAIN
Ruling of National Association Places
Contract Jumpers In Bad Light.
May Never Re-enter Major
League Ball

Henry Berry was retained as man
ager of the Los Angeles baseball club
at a meeting of the directors yesterday
morning and Frank Dillon was chosen
as team captain. Berry had wished to
resign his position, but was urged to
continue in the capacity until some
other perfectly satisfactory official
might be selected.
A few routine details were transact
ed, though nothing of moment occurred
beyond the election Of manager and
captain. Berry, who intends leaving
for the east today or tomorrow, inti-
mates that he will endeavor to secure
several news players for the Angel
club.
Some discussion has arisen relative
to the $500 which Jim Morley was sup
posed to have forefited when he re-
tired from the game. 1t is rumored
that Morley placed an injunction
against his forfeit being tampered with.
An official of the present club, how
ever, states that each Pacific coast
club was entitled to a sixth of the
$500 and that the Angel organization
received it's share.
At the meeting yesterday Berry was
again given the privilege of securing
an assistant manager but as yet he has
not determined upon subordinate. II
is hardly thought probable that Gil
Meade will act in an official capacity.
General satisfaction was expressed
when 1t became known that Berry had
been retained as manager. Dillon will
probably act during the away from
home periods, as Berry is not in po-
sition to follow the team up with its
trips abroad.
From what could be learned yester-
day afternoon the present club will
be forced to place the usual $500 for
felt. as Morley's money evidently was
divided
1t has not been decided whether such
players as Kitty Brashear and some'o1
the others who jumped last season will
be able to return.
According to a ruling made by the
National association Tuesday all con-
tract breakers playing with the Tri'
state league mus remain in such COM

FRANKIE NEIL OFFERED
MATCH WITH WALSH

Tom McCarey wired frankie Neil
yesterday afternoon offering him a
match with Jimmy Walsh at the ban
tam weight limit, 116 pounds. The
terms provide liberal financial di-
vision and a belt for the champion
ship.
Neil has not been heard from rela-
Give to the affair and an answer is ex-
pected some time today. Now that Abe
Attell has declined to meet Neil the
latter is looking for some one else
to don the gloves. At the bantamweight
limit Walsh would probably give Neil
as good a battle as any of the other
boys of his class.
Neils terrific argument with Abe At
tell would necessarily make him a
favorite, despite the weight which he
must take off in the event of articles
being signed.

MINlMU UNI
Great American League TwirIer Pos
sesses Almost Absolute Control
of Ball and Throws Like
Flash

mick Altrock is one of the hardest
pitchers in the world to beat, because
he doesn't give base runners a chance
to steal on him." said Frank Selee, the
former manager of the Cubs, during a
flaming bee at the Western league
meeting recently.
Mr.. Selee, who has always been one
of the closest observers in baseball and
one of the most interesting takers on
the national game, pointed out in con-
else manner the big advantage Altrock
has over an opposing team.
In the first place." said the veteran
manager, "Altrock has almost perfect
control. That means you have got to
hit the ball to get to first Secondly,
you can't steal. on him, because he
watches first like hawk and has a
wonderful snap throw to the base
which does not permit a runner to get
more than two steps away from the
base without great danger of getting
caught.
Few Bases Stolen
"There are several pitchers in the
game who have more speed and better
curves than Altrock, but who don't
win as many games. Nick more than
makes up for his lack of speed and
curves by his great fielding, his ac-
curate control and his attention to men
on the bases.
"It has been the same for years.
Good left-handers who kept the run
ners close to first were always win
ners.
Against that kind Of pitching a team
is at a horrible disadvantage. You
can't steal bases and the hit-and-run
play is easily broken up. When the
runners are kept hugging first force
plays at second base occur with greater
frequency and the inhelders are given
more time to pull off double plays.
"When a team can't steal bases ii
isn't going to win very often, and there
second on Altrock Doc White OF the
Sox is almost as good in watching the
bases, although his throw to first is not
as good as 'Nick's.'
where White shines is his deceptive
delivery. He delivers the ball to the
bat very often in such a puzzling man.
ner that the runner on first is fooled
into going back to that base, expecting
throw there from the pitcher.
mot enough pitchers cultivate that
short throw to first. There are several
good left-handers who watch first as
closely as Altrock, but they don't catch
the runners off there because 1t takes
them too long to throw the ball. II
they would shorten up their throw
base runners wouldn't dare take any
bigger lead off them than they do OFF

of last season, and according to the
ruling looks to be in a bad fix.
The National association stole a
clever march upon the contract break
ers by making a truce with the outlaw
organization, in which major leagues
will not be subject to the pirate tao
tics in the future. AS a reward for
showing white flag the outlaws have
been given every man now playing with
them. The victory was a notable one
for each faction.
There is a possibility that because
of uncertain conditions in California
following the earthquake the western
players who jumped may be shown
some leniency.
Jud Smith will probably be seen in
an Angel uniform next season. The
dentist is anxious to get in the game,
but refuses to play elsewhere than in
Los Angeles. Manager Berry said yes
terday that he would submit contract
to the former Seraph.

DECISION
All Diamond Men Not Sold, Drafted
or Released by Written Con-
tract Revert to Pacific
Coast League
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
NEW YORK, Jan. 1O.-The National
association of baseball leagues has de-
cided that all players in the Pacific
Coast league prior to the San Francisco
earthquake last spring unless they have
been sold, drafted or released in writ
ing shall revert to the Pacific Coast
league.
Under the stress of the earthquake
difficulties many Of the players left the
coast and have not returned.
With a view to regulating salaries
and making them uniform in each
league, at least to the extent Of putting
a limit on them, an amendment of
article thirteen of the constitution was
adopted.
This amendment provides for maxi
mum monthly salary limit for each
club of the several leagues below class
A, the classification governed by popu-
latlon requirements, and to be fixed by
the respective leagues.
A statement of the maximum limit
shall be filed with the secretary of
the board Of arbitration Immediately
after the opening of the championship
season in each of the leagues affected,
and it shall be the duty of the national
board to referee it.

Sensational Scene
Highly sensational was the scene
when horses, man, carriage and its
fair burden came to a stop. Mr.. Nc
Graw wore what at one time would
have been called dress suit. His face
was a mass of mud and his linen was
similarly decorated.
Thousands witnessed the spectacular
event and the crowd which gathered at
the finish was agog to learn who the
man in the dress suit might be.
"Muggsy," however, after assisting
the frightened women from the cab,
called another carriage and dashing to
his hotel made hasty change of
clothes. A few moments later
"Muggsy" was enjoying the theater
Despite congratulations Mr.. McGraw
takes his honors very modestly.
McGraw is in Los Angeles for the
purpose of making arrangements with
the Chutes park people in regard to
Giant practice here during the spring.
The trip will be long one and ex-
pensive and it is hoped that satisfac-
| tory terms may be made with the
Chutes management.
Los Angeles will not only receive
national advertisement but an impetus
without doubt will result so far as
baseball is concerned. 1t will be re-
membered that the most successful
season experienced in the history of
Los Angeles baseball occurred after
Frank Selee brought his Chicago Cubs
to Los Angeles for winter pratcice sew

The cheetah has reputation as one
of the most gentlemanly of beasts. A
story from Ootacamund shows what
fine manners the animal has. Three
Calcutta visitors to the hill station
were out on q tramp when they were
overtaken by a thunderstorm, accom-
panied by sheets of rain. They spied q
cave In the side Of the hill, and into 1t
they rushed. When the rain stopped
they came out and, to their surprise.
found cheetah sitting licking the
heavy wet OF his waistcoat and his
paws. 1t was his cave, but rather than
deprive his visitors Of their shelter the
polite creature had sat outside In the
driving tempest. With a friendly NEW
and gracefully wagging his tail, the
cheetah bade adieu to his guests and
walked with dignity into his house.

DRINK MORE, EAT LESS.
Advice For Those with Rheumatism
Gout, Eczema and Neuralgia.


Advice For Those with Rheumatism,
Gout, Ecxema and Neuralgia.
II people would take less nutrition
and drink more water, there would be
less rheumatism, gout, eczema and
neuralgia In the world. The most fire.
Quent cause of these arrangements is
an excess of nutrltive materials. The
blood Is surcharged with salts that
are not needed in the system.
The doctors are trying to remedy
these diseases by giving something to
eliminate the salts. such as purgatlves,
diuretics and solvents Of various
kinds. The rational way, however, to
cure such affections Is to stop the
cause. Drink more waterY eat less
meat and concentrated foods. This
shuts off the supply Of urates in the
blood.
Those who take active exercise In
the open air every day require great
er amount of nutrition. Not only do
they use up the nutrltlve materials in
muscular exercise, but the amount of
oxygen inhaled because of their activ-
tiles thoroughly oxidizes the urates and
changes them In urea. II the blood is
loaded with urates they are very like
iy to crystalline, especially in those
portions Of the body where the clrcula-
tlon is the least and the temperature
is the lowest, such as the elbows, an
kles, the toes and fingers.
Drink more water; eat less food.
This is prescription that is worth
more to such people than all the drugs
In the world. Shut Off the source of
urate poisoning and the effects of
urate poisoning will disappear.-Ex-
change.
