Both Heavyweights Satisfied with un-
even Split of Money Necessi-
tated by Dispute Over
Forfeit

Jim Flynn and Battling Johnson
have finished their preparation for
their ten-round boxing contest at the
Pacific Athletic club pavilion tonight,
and both of the men declare them
selves to be in prime shape for the
battle.
Johnson did little work yesterday,
but was satisfied with a short whiri

all the remainder of the day. lie

and will practically be at this figure
when he enters the ring to meet the
fireman.
Flynn took to the highway in the
morning and later in the day he did
his shadow boxing stunt and worked
for some time with the pulleys. He
will do nothing more i'm the way of
training and will go into the ring In
perfect condition, according to his own
statement.
Manager Gaines, who is bringing the
Ri ssian heavyweight out, is out with
a statement in regard to the side bet
which was to have been put up by the
two boxers. He says that when the
matter first was broached Ii was
Fiynn's suggestion that the bet hinge
on a knockout and this was agreed to
by Johnson and Gaines. Johnson's
manager always had his money ready
to place on this proposition, but he
declares that Flynn did not come
through as agreed. There seemed to
be a misunderstanding regarding the
$500 which was to have been put up

the purse, rs per cent to the winner
and 25 to the loser. Both of the fight
ers are satisfied with this, so sure is
each one that he will win the battle.

COUNCIL PASSES
ANTETIP MEASURE
Unanimous Action Follows Reform
Talk by Assistant City Attorney
Works-No Emergency
Clause Attached

The city council yesterday passed
the amende anti-racing tip ordinance.
Assistant City Attorney Lewis Works
appeared as champion, telling the
council that the measure was the same
as the earlier ones, except that refer
encc to other contests was left out,
making it exclusively an anti-horse
race measure.
Il don't like the preference given to
eastern newspapers" said Councilman
Henry Lyon.
"A discretionary power exists re-
garding enforcing the ordinance" said
Attorney Works.
paper which has tips and reaches here
before the next days races cannot be
sold, but an eastern newspaper arriv-
ing after the races contains only stale
news, l take it,
"The ordinance is in line with the
spirit of the times. Governor Hughes
in New York is now trying to have a
law passed making horse racing un-
popular.
''In California the last legislature
refused to pass such law, and 1t is
now up to the cities to make race
gambling unpopular.
"These racing sheets ought to be
legally suppressed because their tone
is vile.
This ordinance does not eliminate
all the objections that Mayor Harper
found, but some of them were not valid
objections.
Il don't think our local newspapers
should be dictated to-" said Council
man e. A. Clampitt.
Would you encourage the local
newspapers to print results of roulette
games? Horse racing betting is held
to be gambling game by all courts,
and in some states it is stopped
The city council then voted unani-
mously to pass the amended tip or
dinance. No emergency clause is at
tached. hence the measure does not
go into effect until thirty days after
it is published.

LA SENDA HANDICAP
IS FEATURE ON CARD
GOOD HORSES TO SPORT CoLoRS
IN EVENTS
A Handicap, Two Purse and Three
Selling Races Make Up the
Program for This
Afternoon
BY IRVING II. CLEMENT

The La Senda handicap is the feature
event of a good program to be run at
Santa Anita park this afternoon.
The second and third races are purse
affairs and bring forth a good lot. The
balance of the card is for selling platers
and they are an evenly matched lot.
A five furlong sprint will start the
ball rolling, and it is a very open af-
fair. A rapid breaker with good alert
boy astride will have the advantage in
such a field.
Rosemary D is a fast breaker, so is
Blue Bottle although the latter prefers
a muddy track. Hazel Thorpe is about
due and is the one to watch.
A large field of baby racers, non-win-
ners are carded to go in the second
race, and some fair performers are
among them. Last time Ace of Dia-
monds and Fred Maier hooked up the
latter beat him, but today is another
day. Harry Stanhope is a grand look
ing colt that has not run to his works.
Sir Barry ran an impressive race his
only start. Little Flush is a well bred
youngster that shows well in his morn
ing trials.
John c. Rice, Machias and Montclair
will furnish a battle royal over the
seven furlong route in the third race.
John c. Rice has beaten better ones
than he meets today. Macias will have
Boland up and is a consistent perform
er Montclair will probably show i'm
provement today, as he goes real we'll
in his morning workouts.
The allotment of weights for the ham
dicap makes it a very tough PROPOSE
ton Pretension will have top weight
to tote and Musgrave will pilot this
good gelding.
Botanist Likes Distance
Botanist with his impost will set a
very fast pace and the distance is to his
liking. Mary f is dropped in nicely
with her poundage and will go some, as
she is in good form now.
Ampedo is rounding to form and Lis
arc is unreliable, as he is a sulker. May
come to life any time.
The fifth race brings out about the
best distance runners of the selling
platter division. County Clerk will have
Schilling as pilot. Martin will ride
Sainrida. Merlingo had hard luck in
his last race, as Associate fell just as
Schilling started TO make his run and
this spoiled his chances.
Rubinon will go well at this distance,
and Summer Cloud is in with only a
feather on her back and has lot Of
