ATHLETICS
E21AAg at o s'slgR

" ESTERDAY was platers' day at
Santa Anita, with five in six races
n made up exclusively for them, but
the card Will get back to its usual classy
nature today, when horses of good class
will be perform. The feature event Will
be the fourth race, at one mile, in Whlch
Montgomery, Gowan, Glorio, Magazine,
Center Shot Ethon and Hasty Agnes
will measure strides for a $500 purse.
Since Montgomery has shown that he
has regained his best form of last year,
he becomes a bear at any old distance,
but Glorio has beaten all classes of
horses and at all distances, so they
should put up a pretty race. Good
class also is found in the second race,
a seven-furlong affair, in which Friend
Harry, DR.. Holzberg, Gerrymander and
Fair Annie will hook up. Such con-
sistent performers as ST. Elmwood,
Proper, Mary F, DR.. Mathews, Har-
court, Pal, Honest and Lord Stanhope
will meet in the third. These three
events will furnish the best sport of
the afternoon and owing to the good
horses named to start there should be
some exciting times along about the
moment the fields APPROACH the wire.
Harry Smith, who was reinstated by
the stewards Of the Pacific Jockey club
a few days ago, has entered into con-
tract with Lawrence & Comstock to do
their riding the remainder of the win
ter season.. 1t was while riding Esca-
lante, owned by w. J. Spiers, formerly
trainer for Lawrence & Comstock, that
Smith got into trouble and the fact
that he has been re-engaged by his
former employers seems to indicate
that they do not hold him responsible
for the defeat of the good Splinter.
Mel Lawrence was very much delighted
last night when he announced that he
had secured Smiths contract. Smith
was as good as any of them when he
was set down and should be quite
valuable to the stable.
Several good games were played last
night in the three cushion billiard
tournament at Morley's Casino parlors
and the schedule will be brought down
to date in a couple of more nights.
The leaders are getting their bumps
and it looks like the outfit would be
punched for the home stretch before
the end of the week. Half a dozen
games are scheduled for tonight. Play
begins at o'clock.
The splendid car service to the race
track is fully appreciated, but 1t could
be improved immensely if the three
car trains were run back to the city
frequently after the last race until
$50 o'clock. With two more such
trains there would be no necessity of
crowding and the entire crowd would
be on it's way home by $50 o'clock.

GOOD BALL OUTLOOK
AT SOUTH PASADENA
SEVERAL OLD PLAYERS RE-
TURN TO HIGH SCHOOL
Diamond Season VIII Open February
10 and viii Be Preceded by
Series of Practice
Games

The outlook for an excellent baseball
team at the South Pasadena high
school is considered good, as many of
last years men will return; and, with
the admission of several new players
to the school, a first class aggregation
is assured.
The boys believe they have a swell
chance to secure the championship of
the Los Angeles County Interscholastic
league, as many of the other schools
have lost their star players, while the
Crown city school has been fortunate
in that respect and has lost but two
through graduation.
The baseball season will be begun
February 10, when the Pasadena boys
will try conclusions with the Whittier
high school team The game is sched-
uled to be played at the South Pasa-
dena diamond. Five games will be
played at the Crown city diamond. and
four away from home.
The regular season will be preceded
by a series of practice games with
nearby schools. These will be begun
about January Is, and in all probable
ity will be played with the Pasadena
high school, Throop and Occidental.

YALE AND PRINCETON
WIN IN FIRST ROUND

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-Yale and
Princeton won over Harvard and Co
umbia in the first round of the seven
teenth annual intercollegiate chess
tournament which began here today.
In each instance the winning scores
were two and half games to one and
half.
The defeat of H. Blumberg Of Co
ltmbia, who had a record of eight wins
out of nine games played in three tour
naments, at the hands of L. w. Ste
phens of Princeton was the sensation
of the day. The victory at the top of
the board decided the issue in favor
of Princeton. Three remaining games
of this match were all drawn.
In the match between Yale and Har-
ward G. Burgess of Yale won his game
at the sixth table and his brother made
draw at the fifth. j. r. Chandler also
won for Yale at the last board and
w. w. Parshley scored Harvard's only

Went After Flynn Without a Seconds

That He Completely outs

RACING

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 21.-Sam
Langford, the colored midleweight,
making his first appearance in local
ring, made good tonight with a ven
geance and incidentally made short
shrift of Jim Flynn of Pueblo. Colo.
Langford Knocked out his man in the
first round, after two minutes of fight
ing.
From the outset it was plainly APP
parent that Flynn did not have a
chance. Langford lost no time in get
ting into actlon. No sooner had the
men shaken hands than the dusSy Bos-
tonian went after the Pueblo fireman
hammer and tongS. He swung a nara
right to the body and moment later
scored with his left to tsle lace. he
gave Flynn no chance. Flynn rusned
to close quarters, but found no shelter.
Langford followed his lead by sending
his right and left to the body with
great force. After two minutes OF
fighting Langford tented with his
right. Like a flash he brought MS lett
flush to the fireman's jaw with an
impact that was heard all over the
house.
Flynn dropped as if hit by an ak, his
face turned purple and he rolled on
his back until the pain from the blow
caused him to turn. The count OF ten
was tolled off, but Flynn was too Iar
gone to even hear the count. He re-
NAMED helpless on the floor OF the
ring, with his seconds working over
him for fully two minutes. he was
then carried to his corner and 1t was
five minutes before his senses returned.
aWhat hit me?" he murmuIed
when speech returned to him. The de-
feated pugilist was led to his dressing
room with difficulty.
Langford was a 3-to-1 favorite in the
betting. His quick victory over MS
heavier opponent placed him in great
favor with the local followers of the
fighting game, who aver that he is the
only man that can wrest the middle
weight championship from Stanley

Jimmy Walsh of Boston and Monte
Atteu of San Francisco, bantam
weights, fought fifteen rounds to a
draw in a preliminary to the Langford-
Flvnn contest Up to the eleventh
round AtteIl appeared to hold safe
lead. He landed oftener and harder
in very spirited exhibition.
The tables were turned, however, IN
the twelfth period. In this round
Walsh battered his man with rights
and lefts to the body and head and
Attell was much disturbed when he
went to his corner Attell fought back
vigorously, however, in the three
final rounds, but Walsh clearly out
fought him. At the end of the fif-
tenth round Referee King promptly
called it a drawn battle Attells face
was badly dishgured, while the Boston
fighter presented practically an un-
broken front.

MiIpitas Tickies Pikers
The pikers' colony was delighted
when Milpitas rolled home on the
bitsky in the fifth race, lasting long
enough to nose out Prince of CASTLE
at the winning post. Milpitas, for
some unknown reason, was held at s
to 1. He hoped out into the lead at
the start and went on his way, while
the others were waiting for him to
back up. He began to backwater too
late, however, and lasted to the wire,
although Prince of CASTLE was press
ing him hard for the capital prize and
was within a head of the goal at the
end. Vivant hung on long enough to
show. Progress did nothing unusual,
quitting all the way and showing lit
tie of his old-time speed.
Father Stafford added to the r. L.

over the finishing line nearly two
lengths ahead of Furnace and Louis

went to the post for this event, all be-
ing maidens and the talent was all at
sea to figure out the lucky one. Some
did and the majority did not.
Dainty Belle ran formful1y in the
second and had four lengths to spare
to Amigo at the finish. Amigo set the
pace for f1ve-eighths, as usual, but
quit as usual, and was lucky to be Sec

morrow in the paddock at santa

BILE, Roy Jr., Fighting Chance, sly
Ben and others will be put under the
hammer by Smith & Creveling, auc-
tioneers. AS the terms of sale will be
for cash, the horses should be bought
in at bargain prices. Roy Jr is the
most promising of the bunch, but
Fighting Chance, which is a full
brother to Frank Lord, undoubtedly
will cause some lively bidding.
The next fight of importance in
which the fans are interested will be

reports should be received here by Fri

the difference in time will enable
Americans to hear of the result be-

fans If Burns fails to keep up his
winning streak.

friends at a celebration dinner. He
acquired the winning habit at that
time and has shown little disposition
to break that habit since. From the
ranks of obscurity he has climbed fast

did not. help him In voting. For. a

of the Marshall press was devoted
to bitter attacks upon the aStal-

Senator Hansbrough, who took up
the matter of the christening of the
North Dakota with water instead of
wine with the, secretary of the navy,
has received word from the navy de-
partment that the details Of the
christening are entirely in the hands
Of the shipbuilding company, and
the sponsor and her chaperone have
been notified by the company that
wine will be used in the christen-
ing. 1t seems that among sailor folk
and those who have to do with the
ships there is a prejudice against the
use of anything but wine, and for
that reason is used except under ex-
traordinary circumstances. Many sail
ors are so superstitious that they will
not sail upon q vessel that has not
been christened in the conventional
way. We have taken the ground be-
fore that while there may with per-
feet right exist a sentiment against
the use of wine in connection with
any public ceremony, the matter is
not so important that. hairs need to
be split over it, and inasmuch as
the nation is building the ship and
the people of North Dakota are the
guests of the shipbuilding company
at the launching, it would seem to
be the part Of courteous guests not
to interfere with the arrangements
made especially when those arrange
ments are the same as are made
generally in connection with the
launching Of battleships. The wine,
we take it, will be broken, and will
run down into the sea, and there
will be that much. less of the curs-
ed stuff to corrupt either good man
ners or good morals. ...-
