Santa Anita yesterday afternoon, and
r6cegoers will see his colors in action
on the coast for the first time during
the winter season. Arthur is one of the
big men of the middle west turf and
has some high class horses.
Wayne Joplin, who brought Jockey
Koerner to the coast two seasons ago,
arrived yesterday from Latonia with
Orena, which he developed as a year
ling and which has porved to be a racer
of good class last summer
W. H. Baker brother to Grover
Cleveland Baker, was among the arriv-
ais from Latonia yesterday, bringing
three good ones. Among his bunch is
Hannibal Bey, which has attracted
good play at the local pool room many
times during the summer.
Barney Schneider added twelve year
lings to his Santa Anita division yes
terday. These yearlings were shipped
q few days ago from woodlands stud,
and Schneider has said that they make
up the best bunch of good prospects he
ever sent to the races. If he develops
another Horace E., Jack Atkin or Nea-
lon out of the bunch he will have no
regrets, and that is just what he is
going to do or be awfully disappointed.
The horses that Jim Arthur has
brought to Los Angeles for the winter
racing season form quite classy
bunch. In the string are Bucket Bril-
gade, Quadrille, The Thorn, Senior and
Bookbinder. Kay Spence's good one,
Director, also is in the shipment.
Charley Henshall has four good ones
in the shipment that reached Santa
Anita yesterday. Among the best are
Fore and Lady Anne. Henshall once
owned the great French racer Ginette,
and is getting another good stable to-
gether He owns property in Los An
geles and Long Beach and is proud that
he can be known as an adopted son of
the golden west.
w. H. Ready and a big bunch of San
Behnardino sports are coming to town
this afternoon to attend the big fight at
Vernon tonight. These San Berdoo
sports always come to the big scraps
and only get small bunch in return
when they pull off a big scrap up there.
There is talk of g. Howard Baker, Fred
Ward match being made for the next
San Berdoo Offering, and if such n
classy card is arranged the local fans
should return the favor by attending
sports are thoroughbreds and good fell
lows-all of them-and they deserve
some consideration from their Los An
geles brethren.
Tim McGrath, who came to Los An
geles solely to second his pal, Flynn,
in his fight last night, will return home
on the Owl this afternoon to attend the
Papke-Ketchell argument tomorrow
afternoon. Tim lost $500 on Flynn, al
though the latter won, as he bet Man
ager Gaines 5000 against $500 that Flynn
would stop the Russian.

fought like a whirlwind throughout the
round and gave Mantell a sound drub-
bling. At the gong O'Keefe was pound
ing Mantell numerically, and when
the round was ended he had lead that
was unquestionable.
Webster Stops Fisher
The semi-windup was scheduled
ten-round bout between Danny Web
ster and Walter Fisher. The boys met
at catchweights and Fisher seemed to
have a slight advantage in weights.
Both boys were given enthusiastic re-
ceptions as they entered the ring.
The first round was a dizzy rough
house, with Webster showing at his
best form. In the early moments of
the round he overwhelmed Fisher with
his overland swings, but Fisher came
out of his cover and succeeded in land
ing a few effective ones on his own
account. Webster had the shade.
Fisher had all the better of the mill
ing in the second. He more than met
Webster half way and before the round
was a minute old he had slammed
Danny three terrific right swings that
surprised, but rallied, and they fought
evenly for the remainder of the round.
1t was Fishers round.
Webster went on the aggressive in
the third and had a good lead at the
end to show for his trouble. Fisher
permitted him to set himself all the
time and only blocked the fierce leads.
Webster had q shade.
Webster administered severe punish
ment in the fourth and Fisher went
to the mat twice, once on half shove
and a punch to the wind and the Sec
ond time from the effect of awallop to
the Jaw. Both times he stalled around
ON the floor until his seconds yelled at
him, when he hoped to his feet like
a flea and went at it with great energy.
He was hurt, but not even dazed.
After Fisher had gone to the mat
twice in the fifth round Capt. Broad
head of the police department ordered
it stopped before Referee Blake could
finish the count over the second down.
Webster gave Fisher a severe beating
in this round, drawing blood from the
mouth and hammering Fisher severely
about the head and body. He put
Fisher down the first time with a right
to the ribs and on Nthe advice of his
seconds Fisher stayed down for the
count of seven. The second knock
down was from the effect of a right
uppercut to the jaw.
Big Boys Enter Ring
The main event boys entered the ring
a few seconds after the end of the
Webster-Fisher affair and the fans
gave them a CHEEKY greeting. Johnson
was accompanied by Joe Cabral, Fred
Ward and Howard Baker, his seconds,
and Manager Gaines. Flynn was ac-
companied by Tim McGrath Jack
O'Keefe, Abdul and Eddie Webster.
After various introductions, including
Fred Corbett of Denver, Frank Syko or
something else, viii Campbell and
Rirdslegs Collins, a telegram was read
from Terry Mustain at Frisco, in
which Terry challenged the winner.
Then the fighters were introduced, and
after instructions the battle was on.

Because of tide being at the full at

There will be a single gig event for

will row are A. K. Clymer A. p. Laz-
