FEATURE EVENT TODAY
WILL BE PURSE AFFAIR

Secretary Boden has arranged good
card for this afternoon with the fourth
race, purse affair AT mile, the feature
event Won TrOmp and w. IL. Carey
come together under the same weight,
ia pounds. Although Carey beat Won
Tromp last time they met, the switch
in weights may turn the tables ON Ca
rey.
San Alviso with 97 pounds ON his
back will run some, as win Edwin T.
Fryer, who has always shown "a liking
for a distance and a heavy track. llle-
walton has done nothing here to give
him a chance.
Star of Runnymcdc looks best I'm the
first race, and if he runs one Of his
good races will probably win. ST. Al
bans and Gold Ledge will he fighting it
out for the place money ana should fin
ish as named. The star danger here is
Vinorsna, as she is working well and is
due to win.
Martha Jane won her last race I'm
such easy fashion on practically the
same kind of n track that she should
repeat. Katie Rains is quick breaker
and fast, and win have to run a better
race than her last to beat the top one.
Turnaway is very fast tilly and may
be the surprise party in this race. The
betting will tell.
The going will suit Sais, ana if he
does not sulk win be hard horse to
beat Is unreliable, as he seldom runs
two races alike. AVontcllus on his last
race looks the contender and may win
if Sais does not run one of his good
ces. Woodthorpe likes the heavy go
ing and should beat out Viona.
Confessor and Judge Denton have the
fifth race II themselves, and IT would
not be surprising TO sec them finish that
way. Mazapan is very fast and likes
the going, but hardly classes with the
top ones. Taylor George has a chance
TO finish among the first three.
Rodolfo, Canopian and Susie Christian
look best of the bunch i'm the sixth race
Rodolfo works well and has not run his
race. Canopiau ran a better race his
last out than the chart shows anC
should about win today from Susie
Christian, which should hold RodolfC
safe. Mary Glenn may upset calcula-
tions by winning, as she is fit an(
ready.

KINGS SMILES TO BE CANNED
Fashians In Handshakes, In Court
Etiquette and other Ceremonies
Handed Down

Special Cable to The Herald.
PARIS, Jan. 6.-Historians, artists
and novelists centuries hence will
know just how the great civic pageants
of the twentieth century in France
looked, for an official clnematograph
will record all government fetes and
ceremonies. The municipal photograph
ers snapshots give excellent represen-
tations of monarchs in regal gold and
purple, visiting chieftains in gala at
tire and unpretentious frock-coated
cabinet ministers as they appear on
solemn OCCASIONS, but no hint of the
formalities etiquette requires-the
regulation bows and handshakes of the
time. These the official cinematograph
will supply.
Through it coming generations will
know just how a king receives prime
minister; 1t will register the smiles
and gestures of royalty complimenting
some famous author or actor; IL will
perpetuate for posterity's enjoyment
the triumphal march of some lord
mayor through gilded reception halls
followed by a retinue of obsequious
liveried footmen
All these official vet private myster-
les, usually hidden from the public,
will yield their secrets to the privileged
cinematograph operator. After he has
exhibited these highly interesting re-
cords before some music hall audience
they will be preserved among the NUM-
cipal archives for the benefit of curl
Gus ages to come.

us. c. ATHLETES
START TRAINING
BASKETBALL TEAM IS NOT YET
PICKED
Manager 5ridwell Says That Univer-
sty of Southern California Is Not
Going to Take Back Seat
in Athletics

In spite of strenuous opposition from
the weather man, the young athletes at
the University of Southern California
have started in with renewed vigor,
since the holidays, to prepare for their
coming contests.
The basketball team has not yet been
picked and rivalry for u place on the
varsity team is keen. The freshman
team leads in the inter-class series and
would not disgrace the varsity by any
means.
Manager Bridwell says U. S. c. is
not going to take n back seat for any
body in this sport. He has arranged
for match games with Occidental on
January 10th and 26th and contests
with Whittier college and Pomona are
arranged for but the date is not defn-
itely settled as yet.
The majority of the Methodist track
and field men can be seen each day ca
vorting around the cinder path or do
ing more strenuous stunts with the
shot and hammer The closest COM
petition is probably among the hurd-
lers. Elliott, Schultz. Lennox, Curl and
Comstock have as yet been unable to
settle the question of local champion
ship, and many an exciting hurdle race
is the result. 1t looks at present like
Elliott LennoX and Comstock would
all crowd the 16 second mark
Parsons is leading all the sprinters,
as is to be expected, but he has as yet
only shown a smattering of his old
time condition and speed. Cooper and
SChute are pressing him closely. Rich
ardson has not come up to his last
years records in any of his events,
but is leading the jumps and weights
by a narrow margin. Burek, Haigler,
Comstock and Custin keep the big man
working. Code, last year with Pomona,
is showing up well in the hammer
throw.
Comstock, who last year defeated
with ease the best the local colleges
could put forth in the pole vault,
excepting Wilhot of st. Nincent's, has
been defeated consistently to date by
both Richardson and Wirschng. The
distance runs seem to be the weakest
spot for the Methodists to patch up.
Many new men are out for the mile
and two mile. but are unknown quail
ties. If Eugene Estopy, a famous
Marathon racer who is attending the
institution, finds time to run he will
help out materially If Kitten, who was
good in the distance two years ago, is
able to round into shape he may be
able to take care of the mile event.
Holmes has scheduled a meet for the
emy and the college. The university
meets Occidental on the 22d of Feb
ruary; meanwhile practice meets will
be arranged with Polytechnic and L.
A. high schools.

KELLY REFUSES
TO MEET FLYNN
DEMANDS THAT jim MAKE 1853
POUNDS RlNGSlDE
Manager Mccarey viii Keep Close
Tab on Training Operations Of Abe
Attel and Harry Baker--BroWn-
Cox Go Excites Interest

Hugo Kelly, who has been clamorirg
so much for Il battle before the Pacific
Athletic club, wired Manager McCarey
last night that he would not agree
to meet Jim Flynn unless the latter
made 15S pounds ringside. Hugo Will
receive word this morning that the
affair is off, as Flynn could not pos
sibly make the weight and remain
strong.
Much interest will center about the
Brown-Cox preliminary to the Attell-
Baker battle, which is to occur Jan
uary is. In Cox New Zealand claims
wonder, and if reports are to he
believed, the lengthy ringster can go
a lively pace Absolutely no line is
to be had upon Cox, however, here
abouts, as no one has seen him in
action. For a fighter he possesses a
peculiar build and at first sight one
not calculated to stand a grueling
set to. Upon closer inspection, how
ever it is to be seen that Cox has
a very determined jaw and muscular
pair of arms,
Abe Attell and Harry Baker are
entering upon the hardest stage OF
their training at the present time.
Till now it has been more of an open
ing up process, carried on with view
to preparing their muscles for the
harder work to come.
Molly" Mcdonald is watching Baker
carefully and is nursing his protege's
strength so that the closing days of
work will not send him stale. Wiry
as he is. Baker might possibly lose
interest should his training be thrown
at him in punches. With Mcdonald
to supervise camp proceedings, how
ever, the fast San Francisco boy
stands small chance of wasting his
vitality.
Attell is master of his own camp at
Arcadia, and after his daily run and
light sparring practice Abdul the
much defeated Turk. rubs him down.
Abdul is not much of a shine in the
ring, but as a rubber can take de-
cision over the best of them.
Kid Dalton is the boy who receives
Abe's wallops when the gloves are
donned and no stronger little partner
could be found.
Manager McCarey intends making a
personal inspection of the physical
condition of both boys and will visit
their camps several times between now
and the time of battle. With no in
tention of interfering in training op-
erations, McCarey feels that it won't
effect any harm should he keep close
tab on the boys for whom he is pro-
viding means of earning a livelihood.

SAVED
FROM KNOCKOUT
Cyclone Thompson Has His Opponent
in a Bad Way When Bout Is
Stopped in Fifteenth
Round

OGDEN, Utah, Jan. SIN one of the
most grueling contests ever pulled off
here, Cyclone" Johnnie Thompson of
Chicago defeated Maurice Thompson
OF Butte tonight in the fifteenth round
of what was to have been a twenty
round bout.
To save Maurice from being knocked
out his seconds threw up the sponge.
Excepting the third round the man
from Butte did not have a look in at
any stage of the contest. His ability
to take punishment coupled with the
timely clang of the gong in several of
the rounds saved him from going down
to defeat earlier in the fight.
1t was give and take through the
greater part of the contest. The Cyclone
practically won the fight with left hand
rip blows to the chin, jaw and nose,
Maurice used sort of crouch that
saved him repeatedly, The Chcagoan
showed the greatest skill and in the in
fighting had things all his own way.
The foot work of both men was little
short of marvellous.
The blocking of the Cyclone with the
lodging Of vicious swings by Maurice
were features of the battle. At the time
the seconds threw up the sponge Maui
rice's eyes were both virtually closed so
that he could scarcely see.
Blood flowed in gushes from his nose
and mouth. He took a terrible beating
but he was game to the core. The CHI
cagoan forced the fighting all the time
He never WINGED at the Furnishing he
received and was upon his namesake,
fighting hard every minute. He never
| gave his antagonist chance to recover
| once he got him in a tight place.
Several times Maurice was forced
against the ropes and once he dropped
to the floor on his hands and knees
There was not. however, a clean knock
down registered during the entire flf-

CLAIM BATTLE
WAS A FAKE
BURNS AND 0'BRIEN ACCUSED
OF TRICKERY
Heavyweights Rehearsed Ring Affair
During the Night, but Tommy
Oouble-Crossed Jack and
Hit Too Hard

What a difference does a few years
make.
Tommy Burns, but two months
ago the butt of eastern sporting col
umns because of his temerity in daring
to match with ]. O'Brien, is now en-
joying the chagrin manifested by those
who devoted much space to telling
what would happen when he locked
gloves with the shifty Quaker
AS he passed through the middle
west reporters We're detailed to meet
him at the train and size up the new
conner who had set all calculations at
naught. AS rule Tommy has met
with pleasing receptions along the
route, and it is too bad that some one
discovered a fake battle between HIM
self and Jack O'Brien
"Greatest fake of the century" is a
head liner which greets the eye upon
perusal of a certain evening edition of
the far east.
Following the startling announcement
is a recital of how O'Brien, in order to
rematch himself with Burns, allowed
the latter to remain twenty rounds.
The story causes a witness of the fray
to blink his eyes.
OBrien has been accused of clever
ness several times during his career,
but scarce an individual may be found
! who will give him credit for getting
away with anything like the recent
affair on other than a realistic basis
! Any one who saw the battle will laugh
heartily at such an idea. How could
'Brien tell whether full body swing
on the nose from Burns glove would
leave him in possession of his feet and
! senses.
OF course it may have been a fake at
that.
Perhaps Tommy and Jack went out
behind a barn some dark night where
cdly on Jacks nose in order to see just
how far they could go in safety
So far as can be learned however,
! OBren was not i'm consultation with
distinguished members of the medical
fraternity regarding his nasal append
age before the fray. 1t will be remcm-
bered, however, that such was the case
several hours after the battle.
Some may claim that Tommy double
crossed Jack and tapped him on the
nose a little harder than had been
planned. This is to be regretted II
Door Jack labored under an impression
that he was secure from rough usage,
They fell down badly here.
In all probability Jack gave Tommy
sprinting lessons during their noctur-
nal rehearsals in order that the foot
work display would appear marvellous.
Tommy must have fallen over a water
barrel and injured his ankle because
he showed no class with O'Brien as a
sprinter. and verbally denounced Jack
as a runaway of the rankest water.
A series of such fakes would cram
Maud junction six times week.

ANOTHER REBUFF
FOR STANDARD OIL

Chicago, Dec Judge Lands Of
the United States circuit court yes
terday refused to allow the attorneys
for the Standard Oil to insert in the
bill of exceptions to his judgment OF
S29,240,000 against the company, d
statement that the penalty was as
sessed as lump sum. Attorney
Miller for the company, argued that
the fine had not been imposed in the
regular form, in that the counts on
which it was based were not specified
and that, therefore, was an additional
ground for appeal. He relied upon
the temporary minute book OF the
court clerk to prove this assertion.
but Judge lands held that this book
was not properly a part of the re-
cords and Lnat the regular records
showed that the fine was $4,000 on
each of the 1,462 counts.

UNION MINERS
PREPARE TO
MEET TROOPS

Goldfeld. New, Dec. Word
reached here yesterday that two
trains of regulars left San Francisco
for Goldfeld. Miners and business.
men here generally were no more
prepared for this announcement than
they were for the first statement
that troops had been requested, as
there is nowhere the least semblance
of a disturbance in the camp or
town.
Members of the miners union in
large numbers surround the union
headquarters and meetings are in
constant session, but are always
guarded with the utmost secrecy.
Despite the suppressed excitement
among the miners they are keeping
the peace in every way. They seem
to be disconnected and dazed with
the rapidly with which the operators
are moving and appear to be totally
unprepared for the latest coup.

ADVICE BY GROVER CLEVELAND
TO LIFE INSURANCE
COMPANIES.

New York, Dec. 7.-Grover Cleve-
land presided at the annual meeting
of the association of life insurance
presidents yesterday. Several state
commissioners of insurance attended
the meeting, including Commissioner
Beedle of Wisconsin. Speaker Ekern
of the Wisconsin house also attended.
Guilty. alton of a closer aud more
intimate relationship between life in
surance companies and their policy
holders was advocated by Mr.. Cleve-
land in an address. President Ide Of
the Home Life Insurance company
criticised some legislation which fol-
lowed the recent investigations. He
declared that as result of the many
laws passed since that time, life in
surance today is quite automatic. In
presenting paper on Recent Wiscon-
sin Legislation, by Frederick Freling-
huysen, president of the Mutual Ben.
eft Life Insurance company, Mr..
Rhoades Of that company announced
that the Mutual Benefit will withdraw
from business in Wisconsin at the
end of the present year.
