Physical Culture club is busy at ar
ranging a boxing card among his stu
dents for next Wednesday evening.
Quite a large number of young bust
ness men are taking boxing lessons at
the club and enjoy the experience of
boxing in regular bouts for prizes. All
are amateurs and will preserve their
amateur standing by refusing to get
out of that classification, yet they al
ways put up interesting bouts, and the
club members attend in large numbers.
Rumors were current at Santa Anita
yesterday to the effect that U. q. DE
Amman would be restored to good
standing in a short time, and despite
that the story could not be officially
confirmed, horsemen and the pubic
generally were pleased to hear that
there Is an excellent prospect for MN

ruled Off the turf, but shortly after the
judges ordered that his entries be re-
fused last winter he disposed OF all ms
horses and temporarily retired from
the activities of the turf. That decree
amounts to an indefinite suspension,
and can be raised any time the judges
so order The offense for which his en-
tries were refused was the charge OF

upon which the judges based their de-
cree, DeArman bet heavily upon his
sprinter. and failure of his horse to win
practically "broke' him. The decree,
therefore, fell unusually severe upon
him. He has been out of the business
for year, nearly, and since there is
good room for doubt as to the culpa-
bility of DeArman and as he has such
excellent evidence to offer to substan-
tiate his contention that the horse
failed to win through no fault of his, 1t
seems reasonable to presume that ne
has been punished a-good and plenty
for an offense that amounted to nothing
as compared with several others more
glaring in nature this season that have
escaped notice in official sources. Be
ing in possession of all the facts in the
case, I do not hesitate in saying that
it would be only common justice to De
Amman to restore him to good standing
or rule off a large number of greater
Offenders for inconsistencies this sea-
son.
Yesterday was cutin day at Santa
Anita, and the ring was increased by a
net gain of one big store, making the
total number of big books in line reach
twenty-six. J. W. Mcconnell cut out
for one DRAWN, but will go on again
Wednesday. Jack Humbrecht and 10.
J. Callahan were the additions TO the
ring. This is the greatest number in
line this season, and equals the best
day of last season.
Henry Mcdaniel walked too near to
the heels of Lee Rose after the run
ming Of the Garvanza handicap and be-
came aware of the fact after Lee
slammed q pair OF heels against his
shins Henry hoped out of harms

Jockey Howard was fined SEQ for
rough riding on Waterbury in the
Quickstep handicap. Waterbury was
running in front near the rail, and
Gemmell tried to pass him on the rail,
when he was pinched. The judges dis
qualified Waterbury, which finished
second, and assessed the fine against
Howard. This is the set charge for
rough riding, and it will tend to dis
courage the practice.
