HEDGE JUMPERS
CAROEO FOR TODAY
CAzADoR EXPECTED TO TAKE
TIMBER EVENT
Fair Program Outlined for Ascot
Patrons--Fourteen Maiden Three-
Year-olds VIII start In
Second Race y
ny IRVING n. CLEMENT

The probabilities are that the trac,
will he fast today The steeplechase
Will be the drawing card and Cazador
should tin can home in front of this
bunch. The only one that has a chance
to beat him Is Bannell. This mare Is
schooling we'll and has a lot of early
speed, but Is not a safe proposition as
newcomers seldom make good the first
time they race over the obstacles.
Thaddeus ran a good race his last
out and will be close up at the finish
Satchel Jumps fairly we'll and has
lot of early speed. May be third m
dian II. is n safe jumper, and will he
knocking at the door as they finish
Should come Cazador, Bannell, Thad-
deus.
Fourteen maiden 3-year-olds are
carded to start in the second race. This
event Is a very open affair as riders
and racing luck must be considered in
selecting the winner. st. Albans ran
several fair races and IL he has good
break at the barrier will be the one to
beat. Happy Rice has shown good
form in previous efforts and should
about be second today. Likes heavy
track best.
st. Edgar is a dangerous factor in
this race and may upset calculations

ever runs to his work will make the
best at the track race to beat him.
The one that gets away In front will
probably win the third race. This is
generally the case in the baby races.
Early Tide will have Koerner in the
saddle. The colt Is a quick breaker
and Is my choice to win. j. ]. Walsh
has two entered Martha Jane and
Saucy NJ. The latter is speedy in her
trials. Martha Jane was left at the
post in her race. One of these two
may finish second. Kismet Jr. Is fast
trick and with good racing luck should
finish in the money. The most dam
gerous one is Swageslator. This one
can run like a deer in his works and
bears watching in the market.
Azora looks to be in soft spot In
the fourth race and II she runs one of
her good races should lead from bar
rier to wire. Jetsam was palpably short
in his last race when he quit after
showing brilliant speed with such good
ones as Cello, Varieties and Dusty
Miller. If anything takes Azora into
camp this is the most likely one to do
1t. Elizabeth F. will be hard to keep
out of the money. Gentle Harry pre-
fers a heavy track.
Belvoir and Sir Caruthers have the
fifth race to themselves. Belvoir ran
in some fair company in his three outs,
here and he should beat Sir Caruthers.
The latter likes lightweight and runs
better on heavy sloppy track. Avon
tellus should beat out his former stable
mate, Toller. for the short end of the
purse.
If 1.-The combine" bets on Reservation
there is nothing to the sixth race but
this one. Watch his alleged owners

looks next best and should have little
trouble in beating out the light
weighted Freesias for the place. Los
Angeleno will be a dangerous one and
may be close up at the finish.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-01-07

very easy to talk, but as a rule money
players do some thinking before lay
ing their coin. Conservative spectators
declared after the first battle that At
tell earned clean-cut decision, while
on the other hand there were those
who claimed that draw would have
injured Baker. Baker supporters will
have a great opportunity of evidenc-
ing their sporting blood.
Fast Battle Anticipated
question more to the point how
ever, is what will happen after the men
hear the first gong. 1t is realized that
neither Attell and Baker were at their
best when meeting for the first time.
Abe dilly-dallied in his training at
Arcadia, perhaps thinking that he was
in for an easy victory. Baker, under
the training supervision of inexperi-
enced boys, was not in the condition he
should have been.
very different state of affairs may
be expected to attend the forthcoming
battle. Baker has secured Frank Nc
Donald as trainer and so far as
physical condition is concerned, will
enter the ring with every vestige of his
strength primed to a nicely. This will
mean much for Baker, who does not
possess the rugged physique of Attell
Attell himself has started working
and it will be different champion that
steps in the ring if he lives true to his
promises.
Close tab will be kept, hinging upon
the condition of both boys and it is in
tended to publish as nearly as possible
the exact physical trim of the two men
in these columns during their course of
training.
So clever are Attell and Baker that
strength of body will necessarily form
a method of, deduction in making pre-
dictions as to the outcome. Attell is
naturally of sturdier build, but it has
not been determined that he possesses
a harder wallop than Baker. The lat
ter stings in a. manner calculated to
worry the strongest opponent of his
weight.
Judging from present conditions the
affair should be a sizzler. with Attell
requiring his greatest ring craft to win.

LARRY SULLIVAN
IS IN TROUBLE
FIGHT PROMOTER REPORTED
RUINED
Nevada Man Who Brought Nelson and
Cans Together May Not Be
Able to Meet ObIi-
cations

That Nevada fight promoters are not
attaining noted financial success is
evidenced by the alleged failure of the
Sullivan Trust company, at Goldfeld,
to meet several drafts against it.
Larry Sullivan. promoter of the
Gans-Nelson battle, is president of the
concern. 1t will be remembered that
Tex Rickard acted as official manager
of the contest, though Larry Sullivan
was the man behind. Whether or not
the Gans-Nelson affair resulted in
financial loss is not known, though
club reports after the battle indicated
a profit.
Should it develop that the company
is in bad way the fact may have a
depressing effect upon the frenzied
fight finance of Nevada.

strong predictions as to what he will
do next time.
1t is not the fact that Abe merely
considers himself better man. There
are deeper reasons. Attell is nothing
IL not tantalizing and the manner In
which he throws taunts at Baker has
goaded the latter into frame of bit
terness.
1t will be interesting to note what
odds prevail when the men enter ring.
II those-and there are a great num-
ber-who claim that Referee Robinson's
decision was unjust, are really sincere

money should be on deck.
Chances are, however, that 7-10 or

DEAD MERCHANT
HE SOMETIMES DRIVES TRADE
 AWAY FROM THE TOWN.
HINDRANCE TO LIVE MERCHANT
Are as Much to Be Feared as the Competition of the Catalogue Houses-Should Be Awak-
 ened or Buried.

 It Is not the intention of the writer to jot down a pleasant flow of Ian- guage or to produce an interesting bit Of reading matter, but merely 10 state in few simple sentences what lave seen and learned of the competitor be- tween the catalogue houses and the home merchants. In the first place no one community suffers greatly in this competition That makes the problem all the more difficult iH solution. mean by this tlat the majority of bay CTS in no one community purchase by mail The business of the mail order house is scattered over a large terri tory the number of orders coming from any one community compared with the whole is comparatively small 10 the number of orders in the town. There is all exception to this in com munity where the home merchants are dead ones and ask exherbitant prices.
