HIGH SCHOOL
DEFEATS NORMAL
Game Is Marked by Spirited Play
Rogers Throws Eight Goals
for the VIM
ners

Los Angeles high school added an
other scalp to it's long string of basket
ball victories by beating the normal
high school team on the Los Angeles
high court yesterday afternoon by a
score OF "a to 8. Notwithstanding the
cheers of the fifty or more rooters who
accompanied them, the normal boys
were unable to cope with the academ-
les. and the blue and white upheld the
record 1t has made so far this term of
not losing single game in any line OF
sport
The game was rather rough and
somewhat lacking in skill. Again and
again the players of both teams lay
sprawling on the ground. Occasionally
run of neat team work on the part OF
the normal boys frightened the game
and several long field goals thrown by
Bristol kept the high school rooters
shouting. Rogers at forward shot
eight of the high schools sixteen field
goals and Bristol six. The first halt
closed with the score 3-15 In favor OF
Los Angeles high. Lineup:

lesson that Il will be we'll enough to
/ look more carefully into the dope books
for the records Of past performances
when he comes to allotting weights to
a big field.
Al that the rank and file Of dope
sters are protesting, perhaps unjustly,
at the Handicapped for on the day be-
| fore the race was run morning paper
| I'm San Francisco published the opin-
ions as to the probable, result OF the
big race of forty-elght men, who are
regarded at Oakland as experts In mat
ters pertaining to racing.
Kereheval Overlooked
only one. II. d. Beams. expressed
the opinion that Kercheval would win,
and as for the others, none mentioned
the name of the horse except Ed
Soule, one of the youngest and most
successful bookmakers on the track
and also one of the best handicappers.
Soule figured that Kercheval had a
good chance at the ' eight, but was
influenced by the preponderance OF ad-
verse opinion.
The Kercheval coup was not the first
one that has been put over the plate at
Oakland by horsemen who took the BOO
mile journey from Los Angeles to have
try at a stake or purse. One OF the
most notable ones of recent years was
when CRATER won the Thornton at the
spring meeting Of 1906. This stake Is
the only four-mile race that Is run in
California, and old Horatius, great
long distance racer was looked upon
by the Oakland crowd as a sure thing
winner.
Down here at Los Angeles, however,
was horse named CRATER. He was no
popular idol and had made little turf
history in his time. That made no diff
ference to his owner, however, for he
thought he could fix up the old rogue to
win tidy purse which was well worth
going after. CRATER was quietly slip
ped away from the Los Angeles track
and his going caused no remark, for he
was not of enough importance to at
tract much attention.
CRATER Wins Thornton
Up to a little town half way between
Los Angeles and Oakland the old horse
was taken and he got his preparation
for the four-mile event over a little
half-mile track. The morning Of the
race CRATER arrived at the Oakland
track having been walked several miles
through a drenching rain.
There were only four horses to start
in the Thornton that afternoon, and
CRATER was the despised outsider. His
price was 20 to 1, but there was enough
small change bet on him to knock the
quotation down to IL to at the close OF
betting.
The favorite players who had pinned
their faith to Horatius never were sur
prised more than when they saw the
popular favorite go down to defeat and
the rich stake go to the outsider.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-03-01

THE winning OF the classic Burn'
handicap at its last running at th'
- Oakland track calls to mind some
other coups that have been made WITH
long-shot winners.
In this particular running of the
Burns, which Is still being talked apou'
wherever the dope fends congregate
there is more than a passing Word OF
disapproval of the carelessness or HOT
ace Egbert, official Handicapped Tor the
California Jockey club.
Kercheval, with which this latest Oh
big racing coups was made, is known 10
be some race horse, but because he hau
not been directly under the official eye
of the Handicapped he practically was
overlooked when the weights were al
lotted.
Horses that had been running at the
Erneryville track and had shown good
form in their races were properly handl-
capped. The contenders all got Welgh's
that looked to be fairly equitable SO
long as top-notchers were under conslu- :
GRAFTON. but when it came to those OF
mediocre class there was a careless
slapping on of an impost of 100 pounds
that weight being the lowest allowed
under the present rules of the California
Jockey club handicaps.
1t was only three years ago that the
rules were changed in California bring
ing the scale of weights up to lOO
pounds. Before that some contenders
were entered that drew weights as low
down as the eighties. The rule was
changed for the purpose of preventing
fluke wins. 1t failed to avail In the
recent race.
Bookmakers Hit
A killing was made on KercheVal that
the bookmakers who laid against him
will not forget for a long time. The
horse was prepared at the Los Angeles
track 500 miles away, and when the
owner and trainer of Kercheval saw
the weight that was allotted to their
entry they smiled, for they knew they
had a good thing, because they knew
what their horse could do with only 100
pounds to carry.
Plans were laid accordingly and ar
rangements were made with some mon
eyed men to do the betting. Under
ordinary circumstances the price
against Kercheval would have been as
good as 80 to 40 to l, but a few of tho
wise railbirds on the Los Angeles track
got next to the good thing and word
was sent to their brothers at the Oak
land course. Thus it was that 10 to
l was the average price laid in the
ring against Kercheval instead of a
higher price, which was expected.
While the rank and file of bettors
were wagering money on Nealon,
Proper, Logistilla ana other popular
choices, the Los Angeles crowd quietly
was circulating bets on kerchevaL'

Horace Taylor Decides That Outdoor
SimpI, Life Is the Thing for
Him After Years of
Service

Chief Clerk Horace Tay,or of the city
engineers department has rendered his
resignation and expects to get out of the
city's employ in, a month.
Ill health is the reason given.
II have worked for the city a good
many years" said Mr.. Taylor yesterday,
.'and as much of the labor has been in
doors l feel that am worn out and
must rest.
1.-The past-year with the outfall sewer
work added, has been too much.
II have been troubled because of over
work for two years. and l feel the only
way to do is to quit altogether.
II am taking medicine all the time, and
| can't get well under this grind"
Taylors father is in the shipping busi-
ness In Chefoo, and the well known en-
gineer would like to make a trip to
China to rest. Owing to the fact that
Mrs Taylor's parents here are elderly.
however, she hesitates about making such
a long trip, and he may seek quiet spot
in Southern California instead to regain
his health.
