Project
snecial to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
VENICE, Nov. S.-What appears to be
an altogether unexpected setback to the
plans for establishing race track in
this district is said 20 be confronting the
promoters of the scheme by their inabil-
ity to collect the first payments on stock
taken up by local people.
Assurances from the organizers that
the rs per cent payments to be made on
the delivery of the stock will be placed
In trust in Los Angeles bank evidently
have been viewed in an uncertain light
here. The demand of subscribers that
they be allowed to place their payments
in escrow at a local depository is said to
have been met with in practically every
instance where the stock was presented
A. F. Webster, who has been foremost
of Santa Monica bay citizens to support
the project, has since yesterday been con-
fined to his bed with serious illness and
could not be interviewed today. DR.. ]. M.
White of the Venice chamber of COM
merce, who with Mr.. Webster, I'll. D.
Brown and others who have taken up
subscriptions locally for stock in the
scheme, maintains that the shares signed
for here will be taken up and that the
laying out of the track will be begun
shortly.
OF the stated s5OO,0OO capitalization of
the enterprise, all of which DIR. White
says has been subscribed, $4,000 of the
stock he alleges will be placed in the
hands of Santa Monica bay people.
Opposition Appearing
While the promoters of the project are
apparently obviously forwarding their
plans, antagonism of several kinds
against the race track is developing along
the beach. Decided opposition to the es-
tablishment of the track anywhere in this
section is being fostered by w. 1. Hull
of the executive board Of the Santa
Monica board of trade, who believes that
racing exerts a degenerating influence
and that this section cannot afford to
harbor the class of people that would be
attracted here by it.
Mr.. Hull, who is actively identified in
local prohibition work, is assured of the
entire support of tho no-saloon element
in any movement he advises for the nip
ping of developments toward the track S
establishment.
Petitions against horse racing in the
beach district are now being circulated
by body of good government advocates
and will be put before the county super
vsors shortly. Pastors of the local
churches are unanimously opposed to the
scheme and promise to make the matter
one for pulpit discourse if the actual
construction of the track is begun. Well
Informed business men of the beach be-
lieve that the project will be little heard
of from now on.

RACES TO
BEGIN AT
OAKLAND
PROSPECTS FOR BRILLIANT
SEASON
OPENING HANDICAP FIELD is
FULL OF CLASS
Gard for First Day Nice One, Despite
Cheap Races-Too Early to
Successfully Select
Winners
ny J. q. GRTFFIN

Racing at Oakland begins today and
from the looks of things a most success
full season will be launched when Dick
Dwyer sends the first field Of platers away
from the ribbon at the northern course.
All reports from the scene of action indi-
cate that everything is lovely and that
fast tract is in prospect.
OF course, this bars the rain. which may
fall at any time. The weather report
states that there is a prospect of just such
a happening, but the good turtles are
praying Mr.. Pluvius that he hold off until
Sunday at least.
The card dished up for opening day is a
fairly good one, taken from beginning to
end. OF course there have been better
balanced programs, but the fact that the
drawn out such classy field makes up
ir general average for the cheap selling
races which are to be discovered.
With such horses as Uncle, Montgom-
cry, Veil, Arimo, Acrobat, Jack Nunnally,
Johnny Lyons and Janeta entered to face
the barrier for the big race local record
is in danger on fast track. The Hildreth
trio of which Uncle and Montgomery will
start, and Veil in all probability be left
In the barn for the closing event of the
day, look to be in line for the honors,
with Carman's pair next in fancy. If the
race is truly run the Hildreth colors
should finish one-two, with Carman being
in line for third honors.
1t is rather early in the season to try
and pick winners with any degree of GER
tainty, but the horses at Emeryville have
for the most part been on the ground
long enough to give the northern sharp
shooters a line on their relative merits.
Two events, such as the opening handi-
cap and the race Immediately following,
ought to be easy selecting for blind
man, but at that horses which come from
the east with regulations to equal that of
Uncle or Montgomery, or any of the other
cracks on the card, sometimes fall down
out here and make miserable showngs
against thoroughbreds generally consid-
cred In q different class altogether. Con-
sidering everything. such as the workouts
at Emeryville. as well as the eastern form
of the horsts, fair guess at the outcome
should read as follows:
First race-Fisher Boy, Etapa, Martin
mas.
Second race-Elizabeth f.. Byronerdale.
Lone Wolf.
Third race-Corrigan, Gorgalette, Cele-
res.
Fourth race-Hildreth entry one-two,
Carman entry.
Fifth race-Gene Russell, Magazine, Pa
jorita.
sixth race-yeil, Fireball, Ocean Shore.

PLAY TODAY

ON eRlDlRoN
Coach Goheen to Give Entire Squad a
Chance with Leather, and VIII
Choose Team to Meet
Pomona

Goheen's gridiron gladiators from Occi-
Dental college have one more ingredient
to mix in their football formula before
the big game" with Pomona, which
closes the open season for pigskins at the
Presbyterian hunting grounds.
The Highlanders will mingle with the
sawdust sailors from the Y. NJ. c. A. of
San Diego this afternoon on the occi-
dental field. The land battle with the
middies will enable the Presbyterians to
get line on themselves, besides giving
the statisticians chance to compute the
Southern California championship con-
test in advance. While the wharf rats
have never met either Pomona or Occi-
dental in football way, they are rated
on equal standing with either of the edu-
cational institutions, and If General Co
heen can muster the strength necessary
TO exhibit the prov of the southern train
ing ship at his athletic, acropolis he may
lay claim to confidence during the jour
ney TO Claremont.
The Presbyterians will have no COM
retitors loaded with scholastic restric-
tons to meet when they go against the
Young Men from the harbor town this
dIIeruOOH. Inc sailors are all ola play
ers and are familiar with all branches of
the feet game. They are likewise limited
by no conference rules which state their
eligibility in amateur circles. This fact
alone emphasizes the Importance of vigi-
lance from the Presbyterian lookout
tower.
The Highlanders will be considerably
disabled by the absence of speedy Rush,
their quarter back, who will be out of the
game on account of a dislocated leg.
Brewer has been worked in the fast ones
harness, however, for the last week, and
has showed up well in practice Aside
from the vacancy in the quarter station
the Occidental team will be able to assem-
BILE formidable array of oval orators.
Coach Goheen has strengthened the line
OF his proteges and the appearance is
even more offensive than the view the
Indians got of the Occidental defense last
week.
Goheen has not decided on the exact
arrangement OF his players as yet, but
will probably interrupt the lineup during
the game to give al aspirants a chance.
Those who show best will be given the
preference in choosing the person mel
against Pomona.
Morgan and Owen Bird will direct the
rooters' chorus today and they have con-
cocted a program OF the ira la la noises
which will rival the efforts of those in the
moleskins toward winning the game.
Wouldn't it kind of tackle you if you
were a football player and had to exhibit
under orchestral odds like these:
Come on Diego
We've gotfit you.
We've got you going.
Yes, going somel
It's not the first time
Nor yet the last time
ThQf aira pnin fn t6a caf on he

This is an extract from one of the joy
medleys by Morgan, and if the others are
no better he will probably be Oslerized,

WHITTIER TEAM TO
BATTLE WITH U. S. c.

The University of Southern California
and Whittier college will meet on the
gridiron at Bovard field this afternoon at
2:aO o'clock in what promises to prove
fast exhibition of sport. The Quakers
will come to the Methodist camp today
determined to make strong showing,
and with plenty of hard practice, inter-
spersed with number of lively practice
games, the visitors should score on the
Methodists.
Hard luck has followed the university
as regards their schedule this year. The
regulars have not had really hard con-
test since the game with high school
early in October and are in poor shape
However, the past week of steady scrim-
mage work should do much in giving the
colIegians good start today, and if the
locals play ball from the blow Of the
whistle they should roll up good score
on the Quakers.
