the great tournament in Frisco and
thirteen of them won!"
The Los Angeles Athletic club dis
courages professionalism. 1t tries to
develop the idea of amateur boxing.
The object of boxing in the l.. A. A.
c. is to teach men how to defend them
selfes in times of necessity; how to
live clean, how to contract good habits,
how to build up their bodies.
Van Court says that boxing is as
necessary to the business man, the
man who steops over his desk all day
in an office, as it is to a young fellow.
Fifty members of the club now be-
long to the boxing class, and 1t is
steadily increasing.
On the night of November Van
Court will give an exhibition of box
Ing, including ten different bouts of
about three rounds each.
The following will participate: Gus
Fratello and Walla Wheeler, 12O
pounds; Julian Jacobs and R. Mont
gomery, 1876 pounds; George Dameron
and Ivan Kahn, 145 pounds; Cliff Reu-
man and Jack Watlington, 154 pounds;
W. w. Parker and Harry Barlowe, 165
pounds; Edward Morrison and F. e.
Love- ITS pounds; Samuel Coulter, 135
pounds, and De Witt Van Court 1855
pounds; M. Brooker and "Chuckawalla"
Heizman, 140 pounds.
The fun begins at S:15 o'clock, and is
for members only.

THR0OP MAULS U. S. C.
PREPS TO TUNE OF ITO
LACK OF PRACTICE RESPONSIBLE
FOR METHoDIsTs' DEFEAT
Relche at Quarter Played Fast Game,
While Wallace and Wall Also
Did Good Work for
Holmes Bunch

Throop polytechnic football team de-
feated the prep school aggregation of the
University of Southern California yester-
day afternoon at Pasadena, the final
score being ITO in favor of the Crown
city team. The contest was decidedly
one-sided, for the visiting Methodists
were in no shape to reflect much credit
on their institution, having had no prac-
tice practically for the past two weeks.
Throop, on the other hand, played ex-
cellent football, and displayed vast i'm
provement over her last appearance
against Santa high last. Saturday. The
game was largely in the nature of try
out for the Methodists, it being the in
itention of Coach Holmes to thoroughly
organize a representative prep school
eleven, a number of high school games
with Hollywood, Pasadena, Whittier and
others being already under consideration
Among the newer candidates who showed
up strong against the technical players
were Don Wallace at guard, Reiche at
quarter and Wall at end. Reiche is cas-
lily the fastest, man on the u. S. c. squad,
his greatest handicap to varsity honors
being lack of avoirdupois. Traynor at
center played star ball until disabled in
the second half, while r. Lorentzen
backed up the line in true veteran fash
ion. Williams featured most prominently
for the home team and hit the line in
true locomotive style. Jones and Ell
bridge also played especially strong the
trio being apparently the backbone of
the squad
The visitors braced in the second half
and held the Throop team to one touch
down.
Officials were: Wirsching, referee;
Johnston, umpire.

AN BERpoo
WHAT oFIT, ANYWAY

Is there really a "rich mans con-
spiracy," or is Mr.. Roosevelt suffering
from undue suspicion? According to one
of the newspapers, the mumbling of an
inebriated statesman is the basis for his
certainty that the president is the object
of plot which is medieval in its charac-
ter and bedlamite in its folly. The story
thus comes from a source that cannot
command respect. But 1t is inherently
suspicious. The muttered confession does
not fit in with the facts of current his
tory. Mr.. Roosevelt Is fighting windmills
In the White House the story apparently
was regarded as a malignant plot to f1out
the Lords anointed. But why take on so
about it even If it were true? Why should
not any squad of citizens get together
and contribute money, brains or anything
else they have got to make any man
president who suits them? The race for
the presidency is free-for-all event, and
there is not, and should not be. anything
to hinder any citizen, or group of citizens,
from backing any candidate whose Sue
cess they think will do them good To
expose their plans in a fair game, If
there are really any plans to expose, but
the intimaton of abominable, and even
reasonable, naughtiness in the purpose
of any grouINof citizens, rich or poor, to
get president to their liking is prepos-
terous. 1t isn't a Dit wickeder to try to
elect a conservative president who will
try, between 1909 and 1913, to give the
country whatever the country seems TO
need, than to try to elect one committed
to the development of the so-called
Roosevelt policies. .''-Harper's Weekly.

FRANK CHANCE is A
HUMAN MONEY BAG

CHICAGO, Oct. 26.-Nobody knows what
Frank Chance draws down as manager Of
the Cubs, but President Murphy has stat
ed for publication that he gets more
money than any other player ever did in
the big leagues, and that means in the
country
His salary as a player is large, for he
is enc of the stars of the game. Added
to that is his salary as manager of the
club, and besides this are the dividends
he receives for the 100 shares of stock he
holds ir the club, presented to him by
Charles P. Taft when the club was orig
inaliy purchased from James A. Hart.
frank Chance doesn't have to work
during the winter for living. His parents
were wealthy, his father having been
a barker at Fresno and at his death left
Frank something over $4,000 to begin life
with Chance is liberal spirited, but never
Is wasteful and foolish with his money,
ana the result is that today he is one
of tEe wealthiest ball players in the coun-
try. He is a stockholder in a number of

ers in College
.ovember 8

The junior class of Occidental college has
come out with a sweeping challenge to the rest
of the school for tennis tournament which
has created great deal of interest in the
game at the Presbyterian institution.
Although the instigators of the tournament
the juniors do not have much chance of win
ming even a single set. The third years of the
academy have the best players in their class
and besides representing the college in inter-
collegiate events this year would be sure of
tn bulk of the glory in class affairs. Miss
Merrill, the woman scholastic champion of the
south ,and Mace who the interscholastic
championship cup for Southern California,
have cards of membership in the third class.
The fourth years next in line with Low
ry, Gordon and Dane. Lowry is in harness
with Mace as the team to represent the Pres
byterians in intercollegiate tournaments in the
spring They place their confidence in Gray
Merrill, Mcdowell, Miss Gardner and Miss
Clark The talent Of the seniors runs mostly
to scholarly pursuits and the show they will
make in the tennis game will undoubtedly be
small. Burt is the only one of their number
who is known the courts.
The games of the interclass tournament will
be played class by class. Sets will include
mems single, mems doubles, ladies' singles,
ladies' doubles and mixed doubles

WILL HOLD BIG
MOTORCYCLE RACES
LosANGELEs PoP-MAcHINE CLUB
TO HAVE FAST MEET
Try to Lease Ascot Park, Believing
That Two-Wheeled Motor Can
Make a Mile There In
So Seconds

The Los Angeles Motorcycle club is
planning a big race meet to take place
soon after Thanksgiving. Encouraged
by their maiden attempt in that line
they have in mind series of races that
will far eclipse the card they gave the
public few weeks ago on Admission
day.
President Collins of the club hopes to
be able to secure Agricultural park TOT
a Sunday date. AS the park manage
ment refuse to allow an ADMISSION
charge to be made on Sunday, the PROB
lem that confronts the club In carrying
out their plan is to provide the FUNDS
necessary for renting the park so that
the public may be, entertained with
good card of races free of charge The
local motorcycle dealers seem unable TO
get together on the proposition, and the
club does not hope to have them finance
the entertainment. Another plan that
the club hopes to materialize Will, If
accomplished, do more to boost the
racing game in Southern Cailfornia
than anything else.
Lease Ascot Park
They are working to obtain a lease
on Ascot park and put the track in
shape to permit very fast time.
If the track were resurrected and
banked at the turns it would be ideal
for the purpose. Automobiles would
benefit from such a plan as well. 1t
is believed that it would be compare
tively easy to send the two-wheeled
motor for the mile at a rate of fifty
five seconds.

IN, Conn, Oct. 2s.-With a
section of his windpIpe missing, J..
.iger's $50, 900 trotter, Nutbearer, 209%,
sging and speeding ten miles daily over
+, roads around New Haven by way of pre-
| grand circuit next season.
Old time horsemen used to think that trot-
ters trachea was an essential part of his ana
tony, but that was before the days of ad-
vanced veterinary surgery supplemented by
the mechanical genius of the Connecticut
Yankee Dr. Frank G. Atwood, who travels
in the 2:10 class both as a veterinarian and
as inventor, has lately taught the horse
world that this is all mistake and that d
little exposed plumbing in a harness racer is
sometimes just as desirable as it is in a Har
lem fiat.
Nutbearers case is attracting much attention
in veterinary medical circles and among horse
men as well, because it represents pioneer
work in preserving the life and usefulness of
a horse that had been condemned to be de-
stroyed, and because in this case 1t happened
to be a grand circuit trotter that is distin-
guished the winner of the fastest eight-hest
race on record.
Soon after his last campaign Nutbearer was
in a railroad accident, and the exposure to
which he subjected brought on pneumonia,
which affected his breathing apparatus ami
left him a roarer, worthless for racing pur-
poses. Mr.. Hubinger, who a millionaire
prospects were higher than those of any living
trotter, decided to have the new operation for
roaring performed his favorite horse, in
hopes that it would at least make him SER
viceable to drive on the road If not to CAM
paign. This operation consists in opening the
larynx and removing the vocal cords.
1t is asserted that the operation was bung-
ingly performed, literally cutting the crack
trotter's throat. Four rings Of the trachea
were divided, it is said and so much liquid
ohloroform ran down the windpipe that the
tissues were destroyed and blood poisoning set
In It was then that the veterinarians ad-
Vised Mr.. Hubinger to have the horse shos.
When DIR. Atwood attempted his novel ope-
ration Nutbearer's windpipe had collapsed and
the horse was on the verge Of suffocating. The
resourceful veterinarian inserted an artificial
trachea in the form of a silver tube twelve
inches long and an inch and half in dia-
meter to bridge over the destroyed section, the
tube having an opening to the air through an
incision in the neck of the horse, and through
this opening Nutbearer now oreathes coughs
and even sneezes, so New Haven horsemen
say The wound having healed, he seems as
sound as ever, and can once more step past
any trotter in town.
The insertion of a short silver tube into a
horses windppe to enable him to breathe
without inhalng the air through his nostrils
is nothing new in veterinary surgery, but such
a device as an artificial trachea has heretofore
been unknown.

BILLY DELANEY THINKS
AL. KAUFMAN is A CONFER

NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-Billy Delaney
declares that within year he will
make his protege, Al Kaufman, con-
tender for the heavyweight champion
ship, as represented at present by
Tommy Burns. While Delaney is not
making an effort to force Burns into a
contest. knowing that his attempt
would be useless, he insists that his
man will show so well within a year
that Burns will have to meet him. In
the meantime he is hot on the trail of
the other heavyweights.
His first fight in the east will be that
with Dave Barry of Chicago at Phila-
delphia. 1t will go six rounds before
the Industrial Athletic club, just or
ganized by Bob Deadly. Delaney be-
lieves that by the time Burns shall have
returned sfrom his trip to England,
Kaufman will have reached such
heights that a match between the two
will be inevitable.

POLY PLAYERS WIN
FROM SAN BERDOO
EMPTY BLEACHERS TESTIFY TO
POPULARITY OF SPORT
Despite Score of 8 to o, Local Fifteen
Has Hard Time Defeating Visit
ors, Who Were Out of
Condition

In fast, exciting contest, replete with
sensational plays, the Rugby football fif-
teen of Polytechnic high school defeated
the visiting leather artists from San Ber-
nardino high yesterday afternon at Bo-
ward field. The score was to 0.
Again the bleacher contingent demon
strated that the English sport can never
hope to vie with the American game as
regards popularity, a large number of
Poly rooters, 1t is said, preferring to watcn
Los Angeles high and Occidental struggle
than witness their own team in action.
The score does not begin to tell the hard
time the local players had. Judging from
the current reports to the effect that the
San Berdoo players had not practiced all
week, the Poly men figured on an easy
victory, but were surprised to find the
Gate city aggregation unexpectedly strong
in the serum, and the splendid efforts of
the Poly backs alone offset the sure heel
ing of the visiting forwards.
Two trys and the same number of con-
verts elucidates the tally, but the clever
lodging and dribbling performance of the
local backfield players was the feature of
the game Time and again the technical
players would tear loose and in a success
sion of pretty passes work the spheroid
far down into their opponents territory,
only to be repulsed by the superior work
of the Berdoo forwards in the serum.
The playing of Rickershauser, Goodwin
and Rowell was of the limelight order for
the locals, their steady aggressiveness do
ing much to insure victory for the home
team. For the visitors Captain Atwood
and Easton at three-quarters, and Pace
at fullback, played the most consistent
game, while Sloan, Harrison and Banks
formed tower of strength for the line of
defense.
Poly by her victory yesterday classes
herself among the high ones. as San Ber-
nardino was looked upon as the most
probable stumbling block for the locals.
However, the visitors were slightly off
color yesterday, the omission Of a week s
practice telling in the playing of the men
not only in team work, but also in the
physical condition of the men themselves.
Poly was especially strong at the finish,
her practice of nightly cross country runs
no doubt being largely responsible for the
endurance of the players.

With his faithful wife clinging to him,

The scene of his examination was

Several times he directed his untimely
