LAKE ST JOSEPH HUNTING CLUB.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-01-18
MEN SIGNED
FOR FOURTH
Billy Woods, in Case of Victory Over
Collins, Will Get Chance at
Langford in the Near
Future

Everything has been settled in regard TO
the Bat Nelson-Rudy Unholz match, and
Manager McCarey has decided TO put the
ex-champ and the Boer wonder on at the
Cabin on the 4th of February. This was
finally agreed Upon after McCarey re-
ceived a letter yesterday afternoon stat
ing that Kid Scaler would not be here
to meet Nelson, having decided to fight
frankie Frayne in Frisco instead.
Nelson will go right at work at Arcadia,
and Unholz is already on the job at the
East Side club. Every afternoon the
South African whir.wind gets busy with
Joe Thomas, and his condition is fairly
good right now. Not having to make any
weight except that natural to him helps
Unholz wonderfully and accounts for his
great strength.
Bat will not stay away from the Oak
wood inn. He and Lucky Baldwin are
great pals, and the little fighter prefers
to be around where he can run over TO
see the emperor of Arcadia any time he
wants to. The surroundings suit Bat, and
he is never happier than when running
on the roads of Lucky's big ranch.
Billy Woods will come in for great
deal of attention at Tuesday night s
show. for if he disposes of Arthur Col
Inns without much trouble Woods will be
put on with Sam Langford at an early
date. Once McCarey looked on Billy as a
coming champion, but some way or other
these ideas failed TO be carried out Now
Mack will try ana start his favorite
toward the top again, and is hoping he
will show all his Old time form.
Joe Thomas and Jack Sullivan put in
their usual busy day, and at the end felt
fit and ready for their share of the card.
Thomas, with Ted Wolf to work with,
boxed three fast rounds and then slammed
the punching bag around for half an kour.
While apparently lat looking. Joe is nice
| and hard and lack of condition will have
nothing to do with 1t If the Twin scores
| a victory over him.
| Sully was hard at it all day at the
lakewood, going on the, road in the morn
| ing and performing where the fair sex
| could see him after lunch. If women were
only admitted to fight it's a cinch Jack
would win every one of them, for any
| time he gets a chance to shine he levels.
Aurelia Herrera busted in with a tele'

BCOKKEEPER'S ARM ALMOST
SEVERED BY ODD ACCIDENT

While investigating a midnight noise
which it was thought might have been
made by a burglar or a neighbor's cat,
r. Russell Law. a bookkeeper employed
by the Fruit Dispatch company, was seri-
ously injured In a most peculiar manner
at his home. 1912 Wall street, Thursday
night.
Law was awakened suddenly from his
slumber by a disturbance in the lower
part of the house and hastily crept down.
stairs to learn the cause.
At the foot of the stairway is large,
heavy window through which, after ex-
aiming other parts of the premises,
young Law put his right arm, presum-
ably to lean out. AS he did so the win
dow fell suddenly upon his arm in such
a manner as to crush IT to the bone.
The injury was dressed by Drs. McLain
and Erickson, who state that he will be
deprived of the use of his arm for many
months. The young man is % years old
and unmarried.

ANTI-RACE TIP MEASURE
WINS COUNCILS FAVOR
Mayor, City Attorney and Some Law
Makers Urge Passage Of Meas
ure as Tending to Cut
Betting

Mayor A. c. Harper, several of the
councilmen and City Attorney leslie R.
Hewitt are urging the passage of the bill
to prevent the selling of tips and advance
information on races.
The original bill proposed to prohibit
the printing of selections" even in the
daily newspapers. but this feature will be
eliminated.
Councilman Lyon said yesterday:
There are two sides to the tip propos-
ition, but l believe the daily newspapers
print all the tips that need to be printed.
The newspapers are not hawked about as
sure things and printed by irresponsible
men who stay here for few weeks, take
away our money and move on to new
pastures"
Mayor Harper said yesterday that he
believed the ordinance would do great
deal of good.

|. A. p. C. WILL INDULGE
IN WATER POLO

The prospects for water polo at the Los
Angeles Athletic club are growing more
hopeful every day, and IL the plans OF the
promoters of the sport in the organiza-
tion can be realized there will be four
team league in full swing under the aus
pieces of the club within short time.
After a practice game at the Bimini
baths last night the old players were en-
thusiastic over the proposition of renew
ing the game in this city, and several
recruits were attracted to volunteer after
witnessing the interest of the contest
At present there are about twenty
poloists in the Atahletic club who have
had several years experience at the
game, and about the same number of
other members are eager to learn. The
veterans are Stan Mitchell, Gordo Wha-
len. Jake Warrington, William Loomis,
Chester Moore, Eft Brown, Ben Waiting
ton, Bert Hubbard and Edwin Galley.
Each of the three teams to be organized
in the club will have some of the old
timers in its lineup and the rest VIII be
chosen from the volunteers.
Manager Hanna of the Venice Swim
ming association was in conference with
the local promoters yesterday and re-
ported that the paddlers of the beach
town were anxious to form team to en-
ter the league. The offer is being con-
sidered favorably, as the Venice swim
mers can furnish excellent natatoriums
and other facilities for the sport. 1t Is
also very desirable for the league to
have out of town games. The volunteer
life savers will probably contest from
Venice and among them are some of the
best swimmers In the state.
Manager Les Henry of the Los Angeles
Athletic club teams expects to negotiate
with the Olympic club of San francisco
and the University of California in ar
attempt to arrange games with the
northern polo players.
The management of the Bimini baths
has already consented to the use Of tbs
baths natatorium for meets here, ant
the teams will practice there until tbs
! league is formed. The schedule wheI
arranged will call for one game a week

MANY RICH TOURISTS NOW
FL0CkING TO LOS ANGELES
Hotels Crowded with Eastern Arrivals,
and ProprIetors Smile Broadly
as Season Reaches Height
of Prosperity

For the first time this season the faces
of the proprietors OF the big down town
hotels were wreathed in smiles-that is,
they smiled when they had time, for
thew were a busy lot of men yesterday.
"The guests are coming in so fast we
haven't had time to count Them" said a
clerk In one of the big hotels.
1t was undoubtedly the biggest day so
far this year. The type of traveller who
arrived yesterday was the kind who
brings his whole family-and perhaps a.
couple of maids and chauffeur as we'll
and stays a long time and spends money
freely. The hotel register doesn't tell the
whole story by any means. Sometimes
only a line or two is used to register the
whole party, but it means the occupation
of several rooms or suites. and mine
host" is correspondingly jovial.
The large number of arrivals yesterday
is proof positive that the rush Is on In
earnest. and the cn.y thing to worry the
local hotel men is what to do with the
money.

the finish, DIR. Simrall, used as favorite,
winding up in third place. Suzerain was
also treated as a good thing, receiving
play that knocked her opening price
of 40 into several pieces, finally settling
at 10 to 1.
The start was not exactly perfect, and
Bon Ton received all the best of it.
Suzerain, DR.. Simrall and Sir Angus
were also well up when the stretch was

MERGED, Jan lit was reported heiS'
today that on last Sunday a Scotland
Yard detective arrested in this city two
men who are accused of having COM
mitted a 100000 jewelry robbery in Lon
don nearly five years ago.
The accused men, it is said. waived eX-
tradition and expressed a willingness to
return to London at once.
1t is further reported that the detective
and his prisoners left for New York Sum
day night on the Santa Fe overland.
The story did not become public until
today. The city officials claim that two
men were arrested and taken away, but
they are unable to give any names or
furnish any further INFORMATION, and as
a result a verihcation of the story cannot
be obtained
According to the story told, four years
ago last April the home Of wealthy resi-
dent of London was robbed of a large
amount of jewelry valued at 100000
simultaneously with the burglary the
groom and the butler employed in the
house disappeared. The Scotland Yard
detectives traced the men around the
world.
Sunday morning two men walked into a
saloon on Main street and were about to
take drink when q third man entered
and invited the others to drink with him
The newcomer called one of them by
name and the fellow replied
well, guess the game is up
The third man remarked something to
the effect that 1.-THE law follows a man
to the ends Of the earth"
The stranger was a Scotland Yard de-
tective and the others were the supposed
burglars. The two men had come to
MERGED on the midnight Santa Fe train
Satr" day night from San Francisco. The
detective had followed them around the
W rid, finally tracing them to San Fran
cisco, where he learned Saturday that
they had just purchased tickets to Mer-
ced. He came on to MERGED on the next
train, reaching here a couple of hours
after they did.
