WORK IMPREsslVELY
Announces Himself In Perfect condi-
ton, and Appearances Bear Out
His Statement-confident
of Winning

The largest crowd Of fight fans that
has attended a workout since Ketchell
trained there was out at Jack Doyle's
club yesterday to see Terry Mustain
go through his stunts So much has
been said about his impressive show
ings in training that the fans wanted
TO see what this fellow looks like and
upon what he bases his hopes Of beat
ing the native son wonder, Al Kauf-
mann, in their twenty -five-round scrap
Tuesday night. Mustain probably con-
vinced all the ringside spectators that
he has at least fighting chance, as he
was given hearty applause during the
workout.
He is a hard worker and usually
puts in an hour in the outdoor gym.
Yesterday he did all the usual stunts
with the pulleys, weights, punching
bag, handball and at shadow boxing,
and then went on for three rounds of
the real stuff with Lee Flanders and
ended up with a like session with
Young Al Kaufman. Flanders ex-
changed wallops with Mustain in a
manner that gave the fans an idea
of the punching ability of the Omaha
scrapper. although, Of course. Terry
did not attempt to punish his regular
sparring partner unnecessarily. The
name probably got Young AL in trou-
BILE, as Mustain did not spare him in
the same degree that he let Flanders
get away in their bout. At the end
Young Al was about ready to take the
count and a good stiff breeze might
have waited him over the fence. 1t

DEFEAT STIRS
UP OCCIDENTAL
COACH AND PLAYERS MUCH
DISAPPOINTED
Double-Header Saturday at Fiesta
Park Probably VIII Attract Great
est Crowd That Ever Attended
Football Games In South

Occidental played a game Saturday
that might discourage many gridiron
coach, to say nothing of the team it
self. Not so, however, with the Pres
byterians. Every man on the team is
fighting mad, a condition which has
not prevailed at the Garvanza institu-
tion previous to Saturday night. It
is a condition also that should make
the Los Angeles high school boys care
full when they meet the Occidental
eleven next Saturday afternoon at
Fiesta park. A general shakeup In the
team has been promised by Coach
Gorton. Every Occidental man Is
aware of the fact thai Gorton's men
did not play as good a game Saturday
as they did with the Sherman Indians
several weeks ago. This fact may be
due to the team having been too finely
drawn early in the season, coupled
with the fact that they were playing
on foreign grounds last Saturday.
The double header at Fiesta park
next Saturday afternoon should at
tract the biggest crowd of football en-
thusiasts that ever has witnessed a
contest in Southern California. The
Utah Aggies, an unknown quantity in
football circles this year. will meet the
ST. Vincent eleven in the main contest
of the day. sThe Utah team should
give Hempels huskies a hard battle
as they succeeded in scoring a touch
down in their first game of the sea-
son with the Colorado school of mines
team, while Hempel's team was unable
to score on the Colorado cracks. A
three days rest and about ten days of
practice by the Saints must be taken
into consideration, however, with the
fact that the Utah team will be play
ing away from home and with team
that practically is new, with only three
of last years varsity men on the team.
The Los Angeles high school and
Occidental contest will not be as one
sided an affair as many of the high
school followers seem to believe. High
school viii be up against an eleven
that will make the fight of the year
i'm an attempt to wipe out the fancied
disgrace of having been defeated by
u. S. c. AS was proven last Friday,
when the law school succeeded in scor-
ing on the high school boys, the latter
are overconfident and are likely to
leave some loophole which may cost
them the game.
Manager Clay of the University of
Southern California varsity team is
anxious to secure another game with
the Los Angeles high school. He is of
the opinion that the orange and gold
husl1ies would reverse the score of their
first game with the high school. If
arrangements can be made it is prob
able that a return game will be played
on Bovard field.

aglimmering Bennett began to pick
up yearlings at the sales and decided

rovia before he lost Ed Ball, but
dropped negotiations. Since metropol-
itan racing seems doomed 1t is not
improbable that Bennett will resurrect
his desire to make his future home in
California, and he win be a desirable
acquisition to society in the southwest.
Quite a large number of horses ar
rived yesterday at Santa Anita from
New York. Following is list of the
arriving, stables: Jack Bennett with
twelve, Walter House with six. Frank
Lawler with two, o. J. Decker with
one, Robert A. Smith-hooray-with
two.
Walter House will have the best
stable of horses at Santa Anita that
he ever brought over the big hills.
Lawton Virgins, one of the really
good two-year olds of the eastern
summer season, and Homecrest, an
other 2-year-old that was developed
late in the season, are among his good
ones While he landed here yesterday
in person with only six horses he has
three others coming this week in an
other car and will have large and
classy string.
Frank Lawler will be valuable ac-
duisition to the owners colony at
Santa Anita, being one of the promi-
nent horsemen of the east. He has
two horses now at Santa Anita and
fhic in
another car. He will arrive in a few
days.
0. ]. Decker, who brought Gala
want and Alteration to Los Angeles
last winter and sold Gallavant before
going back east brings only one horse
with him this trip. 1t is Alteration.
This one is sound and much i'm
proved racer over her last season form.
Bob Smith sent two in the shipment
that arrived yesterday, but has three
others coming in another shipment,
which will arrive some time this week.
Smith is the horseman who introduced
Jockey Harty to coast fans, but he
has not raced here since the last sea-
son at Ascot, owing to several argu-
ments with Judge Hamilton. Smith
win arrive Thursday and his five rae
ers will about win their share of the
purses and stakes, as he carries no
deadwood on his boarding list,

was a thorough training stunt, and
those who attended were well enter
tanned.
Mustain is taking no chances regard
ing his condition and when he starts in
to swap wallops with Kaufman to-
morrow night he will be in trim to show
at his best form. He does not loaf in
his work or rest hours, and the results
of his training period, which practical
ly is finished now, testify to the thor
oughness of his work. A trip on the
road in the morning begins the days
work. A long session on the handball
courts starts the afternoon work, which
includes all forms of gymnasium work
incident to the life of a fighter in train
ing, ending up with several hard rounds
of boxing and wrestling with his train
ing partners. After the outdoor ring
work is finished, he usually batters a
sand bag around for several minutes
lust to keep himself in practice and to
develop his punch.
Kaufman also is in excellent trim
for the battle and neither he nor Billy
Delaney, under whose watchful eye AL
is working, have the slightest fear as
TO the result. All tales regarding the
lack of condition OF the big fellow can
be discounted in<absolute safety, as
Delaney is on the job and never was
known to send fighter into the ring
In any but the best condition.

is no common spectacle at any hour OF
the day for one to see from two to
two dozen persons sitting in the grand
stand, drinking in the pure air and ad-
miring the scenery as they contem-
plate the excellent sport that Is in store
for them within three weeks. The re-
cent arrival of several high class turf
stars has been another attraction for
that portion of the public that likes to
see an equine hero, Just as the general
public wants to get a glimpse of a
political boss or a successful politician
Horses are arriving every day and
the stables are filling rapidly. With
the close of Pimlico and the near ap-
proach of closing days at Latonia, the
final stragglers from the east, quite
numerous at that, will keep the daily
average of arrivals beyond that of the
last two weeks, and from about No

horsemen who now are at Emeryville,
but who intend to race at Santa Anita'
during the winter, will increase the
average. All stalls have been reserved,
which means that at least 1100 horses

larity that it seems probable that fully
1900 horses win be shipped to Los An

Demand for stable room has been so
great that several horsemen have been
forced 10 get stalls at Ascot, and the
association is encouraging owners to
send their yearlings to the local track
until the turn in the year to make
room for horses in training at Santa
Anita. The association has made no
plans for increasing the number of
stables at the track, but with the
close of racing in New York for at
least two years and the probability that
both coast meetings will run far be-
yond the original allotment of dates.
the association may be forced to bull
additional stables to accommodate the
horsemen who will flock to the coast
from all directions.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-11-09

1t is gratifying both to the owners
and the public to know that the several
hundreds of horses now at Santa Anita
are showing good works in preparation
for the opening of the season, a little
more than two weeks in the future.
Several old favorites have been show
ing almost sensational form in their
workouts and will be among the early
arrivals at the post. One Of these Is
Old Timer, owned by the Pasadena
stables, who went wrong last winter
and thereby spoiled a most promising
3-year-old career. Old Timer. 1t will
be recalled, picked up high weight and
did a mile in 1881 As and was con-
sidered the dark horse of the derby last
season until he went wrong. Dick VIII
1iams acquired him and has given him
a long rest and much attention, as he
has every confidence in the class and
racing qualities of the handsome brown
colt When the bugle calls the opening
day fields to the post Old Timer prob
ably will be among the starters in one
of the feature events and should not
disappoint his owner and friends.
Mary + is another of the Pasadena
stable good ones that is causing Will
liams much sound sleep and restful
moments. This good sprinting mare,
when at her best form, is a serious con-
tender in any company, and although
she, too, has been "off" for sometime
she is rounding to form nicely, and
Williams is of the opinion that she Will
gather in her share of the rich stakes
and purses in which she is starter
Mary also is one of the popular favor
ties from last season. and the fact that
she will be fit and ready for early rae
ing viii be good news to local race
patrons.

MARYF

GEORGE MEMSIC did not whip
In Jack Blackburn in their six-round
VI bout at Philadelphia last Satur-
day night, but the press reports are
to the effect that after the first three
rounds he was going. much faster and
doing more effective work than the
welter negro and he probably would
have won decisively in ten rounds.
This is encouraging. 1t shows that
Mensic is getting back in that re-
markable form which made him loom
up two years ago as the real contender
for the lightweight championship ana
he probably will prove in the next few
weeks that he still holds rank--with
the best lightweights in the business.
He had no difficulty in making the
lightweight limit for Blackburn and
fought like a winner in the last half
of the fight. Blackburn only recently
made Jack O'Brien step lively to get
the verdict over him, so Memsic really
was going out of his class in tackling
the negro. Memsic wants to come to
the coast and fight during the winter
and undoubtedly will be given a good
match with some of the near champs
of his division as a "feeler," to see If
he really is back in form. in which
event he and PaclSy Mcfarland may
be brought together before the winter
is very old.
Excitement is the food upon which
all red -blooded individuals live. 1t
may be horse racing, auto racing or
the excitement of the chase, but ex-
citement is sport. This was illustrated
Saturday night when Spring street
was jammed from the doorways to the
center of the street, from both sides,
with a throng that wanted to expert
he fhof with
auto racing. The starters in the Los
Angeles Phoenix auto race had an
nounced that the official start would
be made from in front of the Hollen-
beck hotel at midnight. An hour be-
fore this sleepy time. rolled around the
street was jammed SO that street cars
had great difficulty in getting through
the jam, even with the aid of squad
of police The crowds stayed, almost
to man, until after the second car
had gone on it's way at l o'clock, and
every starte was greeted with wild,
roaring round of cheers and applause
that must have delighted the inter-
ested ones. In all the crowd, perhaps,
nobody enjoyed the proceedings any
more enthusiastically than Dick Fer
ris, whose large car was overf1owing,
as usual. Dick sent all the cars away
with good cheer and when Cap Ryus
was called to the starting line Ferris
started his whistle going and kept it
up. like a runaway switch engine,
until Ryus and his car had disappeared
around the turn of the street. Every
body cheered and everybody was or
derly, as is usual when a big sporting
event is being held.
Jack Bennett did not arrive with his
horses. although he left New York last
Wednesday and is coming direct to
Los Angeles. He probably will get in
today or tonight. In his bunch are
practically all the good ones he had
last season, with six yearlings added.
When Bennett lost Ed Ball last win,
ter in a selling race he began to weed

and one of the stiffest punchers in the
business, while he has height, weight

teens and when he faced the cleVerest
