JOCKEY CLUB TO
TAKE SOME ACTION
WESTERN SYNDICATE SUBJECT
OF INVESTIGATION
Tony Aste's Kick on Race of Gold
Lady May Lead to Refusals
of Licenses to the
Jockeys

NEW YORK, Nov. 13-While the west
ern gambling element has been permitted
to operate here, receiving an incentive
when the Buffalo track was turned over
to 1t, it may be said that, so far as the
public knows, the Jockey club has re-
manned passive The newspapers fire.
quently have called attention to form
somersaults that presumably were in
fiuenced in the betting ring, but on the
surface no action has been taken. But
from what has been learned within the
last few days the Jockey club has become
alive to the situation, as most thor
ough investigation has been instituted.
Bookmakers sheets have been taken up
secretly for inspection, certain jockeys
have been placed under the closest sur
veillance and plain clothes sleuths have
become unusually vigilant In the pad
dock.
The detectives who work at the race
tracks are we'll posted as to the ins and
outs of the game. They know just what
is going on in the betting ring. 1t al
ready has been hinted that when the time
comes to apply for new licenses several
Jockeys and trainers will find their appli-
cations have been laid upon the table,
while a few notorious bookmakers will
receive notice tnat room IOr tHelu cdHHol
be found in the ring. At least that Is
what close students of the situation are
saying, and there is every evidence to
believe they have the proper cue.
The most important inquiry will be
that of the races run this year by A. H..
Aste's mare, Gold Lady. Upon the COM
plant of her owner at Belmont park,
when she was disgracefully beaten with
Knapp in the saddle, the stewards began
an investigation. 1t is asserted when
Gold Lady, with Jack Martin up, was
left at the post in one race western
syndicate, which controlled at least four
books In the big ring, laid against Aste
mare to the extent of $25,0OO The head
of this syndicate quit the game a Few
weeks ago $4,000 to the good, at the same
time taking off all of the books that had
been backed with his bank roll.
Those in touch with the situation say
that If a way can be found to get hold
of the syndicate's sheets on the COLD
Lady race there might be some interest
ing developments But so much time mas
ELAPSED there is every chance now the
sheets have been "doctored" so as to
erase all traces of guilt

CHICAGO. Nov. 1s.-That western coli
lege athletics will take on its old-time
Interesting appearance Just as soon as
the present football season Is over is
now practically certain. Michigan will
resume its activities as a conference
member and will schedule football, base
ball and track dates with tho other mem
bers Of the big nine when the conference
representatives meet here November 30.
Best of all. the Wolverines will take
part in the next conference track meet,
which last year was pretty tame without
the Ann Arbor champions. Prominent
Michigan alumni in Chicago, who stand
close to the throne, are responsible for
the assurances which will make the
western college outlook more pleasing
than 1t has been at any time since the
blow off at the close of the season Of
1905.
Furthermore. there appears every rea-
son to believe that liberal opening up
of the conference rules will take place,
which will give football and other sports
some chance to breathe. From reports
all the colleges are crying enough af-
ter two years of the air-tight policy
which allows only five games of foot
ball In n season.

WATER AUTO
IS SUCCESS
cHueeER PERFORMS ON LAND
AND IN RIVER
Buggy Boat Declared by Experts to
Be All Right, but Commercial
Worth Has to Be
Determined
BY Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-Waterland 1,
the amphibious automobile invented by
Louis Reveillers of Paris, proved it's abil-
ity here yesterday. 1t took it's plunge
in the Hudson at Fort Washington in
the presence of fifty or more automobile
and motor boat experts.
After half hour spent in diving from
the beach to the river and returning and
then cavorting about in the quiet waters
of the Hudson the car ran up the bank
and across the New York Central rail-
road tracks, climbed the steep hill at
Riverside drive and rolled merrily down
the drive amid the plaudits of those who
watched it.
The opinion of the experts who saw it
was that the demonstration was COM
plete success, though in it's present form
it's commercial value is not apparent.
The Waterland L looks like narrow
yawl boat decked over fore and aft, leav-
ing a cockpit for the navigator and q
space behind him for two passengers.
1t is thirty feet long, six feet beam and
about three feet six inches deep amid
ships, tapering to two feet at bow and
stern. 1t draws about twenty-five inches
of water.
The motor can be transferred by a
most ingenious contrivance instantly
from the wheels to the propeller, or ap-
piled to both simultaneously
The four wheels are of wood, thinly
plated with steel. They are chain geared
and have hard rubber tires. The four
bIaded propeller is of brass. It's bearings
are protected from dust by metal hood,
which is lifted as soon as the machine
enters deep water. The maximum speed
of the machine on land is f1fty-five miles
an hour and fifteen knots in water.

TO
MEETHY YNN
NEGOTIATIONS BEING CARRIED
ON FOR MATCH
Bout VIII Be Staged Friday Preceding
Thanksgiving and Should Be
Good-Jackson Going
to Sacramento

Sam Langford's fight against Peter
Jackson Tuesday night is worthy of an
other chance, according to Manager Nc
Carey of the Pacific Athletic club, and
negotiations are already being conducted
which, If successful, will see the clever
black in action against Jim Flynn. If it
goes through the show will be staged on
the night of the 22d OF this month.
Should Langford display the same skill
against the Pueblo mixer as he did
against Jackson, the fight ought to be
productive of something more than the
frost which was dealt out Tuesday night
at Maud Junction. Flynn just went up
against one piece of smoked stun and
received a nice beating for his end OF 1t,
and in all probability he will get a sim
liar dose from Langford.
Jackson will shake the dust of Southern
California from his number twelves to-
day and will go to Sacramento, where
he has an engagement to meet some guy
named Riley on Thanksgiving day. Pete
has several excuses to offer for the miser-
able showing he made with Langford,
but those who saw the battle will take
them all with grain of something
stronger than salt. When a fighter lacks
condition 1t is no ones fault but his own,
so the less Pete says on this score the
better pleased those who bet on him
will be.
Manager McCarey returned to Sierra
Madre yesterday and will stay there
until he is forced to come in to sign up
for the Langford-Flyrn match. All the
advance work will be attended to by
Lord Fauntleroy and the presiding genius
Of the Pacific Athletic club will be able
to take a long rest.

BIG LEAGUE
MEN SIGNED
EASTERN STARS AND ANGELS TO
PLAY SUNDAY
Francks and Hap Hogan VIII b
Opposing Captains and Each
Has a Fast Bunch Of
Diamond Stars

1t looks as though the bush leaguers
who have been planning to pick up the
loose change around Los Angeles this
winter are UP against the real Mccoy.
Hen Berry started something last night
when --e got all the real professional
players in the city together and formed
two teams which will perform at the
Chutes every Sunday and possibly Sat
urdays as we'll.
One look at the lineup is enough to
cause the fans to throw several fits of
happiness In dwelling on what is in store
for them. The two teams will be called
the Angels and the Eastern Stars, the
latter being well able to live up to their
names, so far as the personnel is con-
cerned
Play will start next Sunday at the
Chutes, with Jimmy Toman handling the
indicator. All the men are on the ground
and have not gone stale from their long
session during the past season, so the
class of ball dished up should be of the
best. The Los Angeles lineup, with but
two exceptions, is the same as when the
pennant was copped for Unc Hen, and
the only ones missing are Dillon and
Delmas.
Olu Eagle Eye beCKley mas Deen signed
to play at the initial sack and to take
care of Delmas position in the short
field Danny Shay was secured. Nagle
and Hosp will do the slab work and the
other Angels will be in their usual
naunts. Hap Hogan will captain the
outfit from behind the plate.
Because they are shy a backstop the
Eastern Stars have grabbed Easterly,
and the local busher will alternate with
Cliff Blankenship in receiving the bend
ers. Buck Francks, who was supposed
to be tied UP in the Winter league, will
captain the team and play short, and
McCloskey, Mcintyre and Oscar Jones
are down for slab duty. Courtney is to
hold forth at the initial station. Roy
Brashear, Kits brother, is due for a
berth and he and Raymer will alternate
between second base and left field. Shee-
han will play third and Jack Lawler and
Murdock, old Pacific Coast league per-
formers, are slated for the other gardens.
Just what will happen to the Winter
league with this outfit of real talent per-
forming on Saturdays and Sundays is not
hard to guess. Scotty Aliens new park
will probably grow musty through nom
use, and while San Diego is still profit
able field for the bushers the advent of
the money getters from fast company
will be the cause of much woe for the
near promoters.

FRESHMAN GIRLS
DEFEAT JUNIORS
EVENLY MATCHED TEAMS MAKE
UP FOR sLoWNEss
Pomona Football Warriors Confident
of Winning Their big Game Sat-
urday-TennIs to Hold Sway
Next Week
Special to The Herald.


CLAREMONT, Nov. 13.-The freshie
girls made the big end of an 18 to 10
score in a basketball game with the
juniors last night. The contest was not
characterized by speed, but owing to the
evenly matched teams, the interest of a
large crowd of classmates OF the players
was kept UP throughout the game.
Miss Norman of the freshie team
showed herself to be a crack forward
several times scoring difficult goals from
the field. Miss McFadden of the Junior
aggregation aroused considerable en-
thusiasm by her accuracy in free throws.
The ball was kept travelling from one
goal to another throughout the game,
hut the juniors sacrificed several good
chances of scoring by making wild throws
form the field.
While there is no approach to over
confidence, strong hopes are entertained
by the student body here of winning the
'big game" of Southern California next
| Saturday. While some of the players are
suffering from minor bruises, no one has
| been laid up and there will be no i'm
portant changes in the lineup. Himrod
| will hold down right end, with Frosty"
Halladay at right tackle Taylor is still
scheduled to play right guard and Ran
rey will play center.
| Eames for left guard and Capt Metcalf
at left tackle and Parker at left end
will complete the forward line. Vale,
the speedy little quarter back, will play at
his old position. Baird, Mahoney, Culver
and bob" Spurgeon are good material
for halves, while Will Spurgeon and Lor-
beer are out for full back.
The tennis season will open Monday
with a home tournament for men play
ers. Using this for tryout the best
racquet wielders will be picked out for
the invitation tournament on the follow
| ing Monday. The attention of the women
is taken up with basketball to the ex-
| clusion of other forms of athletics.
