is none to begrudge him the good sue
cess he is making. He is always try
ing, and has proved himself most
capable trainer. Such men deserve all
the success they attain.
Jockeys have been most fortunate
in this Yuletide season. Conductor
jack McManus presented Archibald
with a beautiful diamond horse stick
pin that is as handsome as it is valu-
able This was in recognition of the
excellent rides Archibald gave Adriuche
on the occasions of both victories of
the classy fllly. DIR. and Mrs. 7. 8.
Childs presented Powers with a dia-
mond horseshoe pin, also very beauti-
full and valuable, for his efforts in
making the old Keene castoff set a new
world record. John Brink presented
Treubel with two crisp and noisy 800
bills for winning yesterday with Joe
Gaitens. Several other valuable and
appropriate gifts have been made to
the riders by horsemen who appreciate
the good work of the boys in the sad
die.
Charlie Gates dropped a portion of his
winnings of Wednesday in two hard
races yesterday. Despite his losses,
however, he responded with 500 bill
to the request for a contribution to The
Herald fund for giving the poor chill
dren a Christmas tree and dinner to-
day. In making his liberal subscription
he said 1t was a worthy cause and one
which he was delighted to aid. This Is
the sentiment expressed by all thor
oughbred sportsmen, whose contribu-
tions have enabled me to add $500 to
the fund already, with about 5000 more
yet to be collected.
Kansas Price boosted the selling
price of Joe Gaitens winner of the last
race yesterday, from $400 to $1005, at
which figure Jimmy Cassidy, acting
for Phil Chinn, retained the good colt.
John e. Madden sustained the loss of
a valuable yearling yesterday when an
unnamed colt ran away with an exer-
else boy and, after unseating the rider,
plunged head first into the fence
around the track, causing concussion
and making it almost absolutely neees-

II ANDICAPPER SMITH outdid all
previous efforts when he ar
- ranged the Christmas racing
card that will entertain the holiday
crowds at Santa Anita this afternoon.
With a stake event, the Santa Anita
handicap, to feature the card, a sec
ondary feature, the Poinsettia handi-
cap, and at least two other events that
bring out excellent class, there is moth
, ing left for the chronic kickers to howl
about. Such classy racers as Jack At
kin, John Carroll, Lens, Pinkola. Tom
McGrath, Glorio, Golden Pearl, Colo
guy, Julia Powell, King James, Meelick,
Vox Populi, Stanley Fay, Gowan,
Magazine, Czar, Husky, c. W. Burt,
Creston, Sir Edward and Seymour
Beutler are docketed for the role of
entertainers during the afternoon. With
continued clear weather and fast
track it need not be surprising if other
new records are established. The spec
tacle of a metropolitan stake winner
attempting to carry the great weight
of 1870 pounds to victory in a sprint will
be furnished when Barney Schreiber's s
great Jack Atkin goes to the post in
the Poinsettia handicap. This is the
greatest impost that any horse ever
carried in a fiat race in the southland,
and despite this heavy impost, the
classy horse will find many supporters
among the throngs that will witness
the races during the afternoon. Atkin
has toted even higher weight to VIC
tory on metropolitan tracks and he
seems to be. at his best form now. 1t
will be an afternoon of fine sport-the
best that local racegoers ever were
so fortunate as to witness.
Billy Mckinney seems in a fair way
to develop another bear in Duke of
Bridgewater that viii equal if not

Won Tromp, the Keene castoff that
nobody else ever could make run WIN
ming and consistent races. Duke has
shown a degree of consistency that
stamps him with good class. In seven
starts he has won three times and
been second an equal number of times.
His only time worse than second was
upon his first start, when he was un-
placed. Billy is good scout, and there

the master of Hamburg place, as his
horses shipped well and were showing
up to expectations in their work since
arriving.
TIE news of the death of Johnny
Dwyer caused general regret in local
sporting circles and few will believe
that 1t was a case of suicide. Johnny
was most popular with all who knew
him, was a clean and upright man with
a record of many years on the turf
without a stain to mar 1t. In other
days Dwyer was one of the leading
Jockeys of the country. He rode for
Sam Hildreth and Jimmy McCormitk k
with great success and only retired
after he became too heavy to make
weight He was q daily visitor at
Santa Anita and it is said that he had
no financial troubles to worry him,
and, so far as anybody in Los Angeles
knows, he had no other cause for sui
eide. His home was in Troy, N. Y, and
his body will be shipped to that city
for burial.
Jockey Yorke also sustained severe
injuries yesterday while exercising one
of Jack Benefits horses at the track.
The horse ran away, throwing Yorke
and causing injuries that probably Will
keep him out Of the saddle for several
days.
Phil Chinn shipped nine horses to
Emeryville yesterday in charge of John
Mccormick They will be raced in the
muddy going at Emeryville. Chinn also
bought back Senator Beckham, which
he sold to Alb Clopton last spring.
Jockey Treubel, the old timer, who
is back on earth again, again carried
away the riding honors of the day. lie
had two bracketed mounts and set
new track record with Joe Gaitens.
He seems to be just as good as in days
of old, when he was classed with the
best riders under license. 1t is gratify-
ing to his friends and the public gener-
ally that he is attacking such deserved
success, and he has won a following
that is not second to that which any
other of the top notch riders can boast.

WHITTIER ONCE MORE
BACK IN GOOD FORM
Team Has Redeemed Itself Fully in
Recent Basketball Matches with
Downey and Pasadena
High Schools

The Whittier high school basketball
five is now playing in something like
the form which it hackers and rooters
are accustomed to see and expect.
Coach Rogers has great hopes that his
boys again will capture the pennant
they have held five years.
Already they have redeemed them
selves for their unlucky defeat at the
hands of Downey high the first OF the
season, beating that school in a second
game to the tune of 65 to IA. In the
game last Saturday at South Pasadena
the Crown City hi~'l --hool suffered de-
feat at the hands of the Qusler city
team by a score of 81 to z. The play
ing of Redman and Pemberton as for
wards, as we'll as that of Witherow as
guard, brought much applause from
the rooters and certainly. showed their
class.
There is now only one game which
stands in the way of Whittier winning
the pennant, that of the Polytechnic
hl6h school of Los Angeles. So when
Poly and the Quaker teams clash jan
uary 8 there ought to be something do
ing, for these two teams are evenly
matched.

MANY NAMES SWELL
LIST FOR MARATHON
Over Twenty-Five Men Signed for Big
New Years Contest Wrestling
Matches for Athletic Club
Championship

Great enthusiasm is being aroused
over the great Marathon race of the
Los Angeles Athletic club to be held
on New Years day. New entries are
coming in every day. and there are
many applications for entry blanks
from men who have not yet definitely
decided to come into the race. Many
inquiries regarding the conditions of
the race are being received from ath-
letes outside of Los Angeles who would
like to take part in the contest. AL
ready there are over twenty-five men
In training for the big endurance test.
Two new names We're added to the
list yesterday. One of these was d. B.
Edwards, a resident of Los Angeles,
but not a member of the club. The
other was a club member, Charles
Boscha. The race is open to every one
complying with the rules and condi-
tions, whether they be club members
or outsiders.
Only few members have signed up
so far for the wrestling contest of
January 20, which will be held for the
purpose of determining the club cham
pionship in the various classes. George
Retzer has entered his name in the
lightweight class of 1856 pounds and un-
der. In the middleweights, 1876 to 1853
pounds, G. W. Isaacs is the only man
who has signed up so far. Two as
pirants for the heavyweight tonors
have handed in their names. These are
F. Sentous and e. C. Cochran.
The list was opened only Wednesday,
and many members. have not yet been
notified of the contest. Doubtless there
will be a great many more names on
the list before the end of December.
The wrestling contest has always been
one of the main events of interest in
the annual championship contests of
the club.
L. L. Durkee, a well known club
member who has been travelling in the
Orient for some months, returned yes
terday and spent some time at the club
greeting his many friends and relating
his experiences. Mr.. Durkee will prob
ably leave today for San Francisco to
be gone during the holidays.

condition to fight and that the meeting
with Barry would have to be postponed.
This got Billy Delaney's goat in grand
style and the veteran trainer was en-
phatic in branding all talk of this kind
as the rankest kind Of bunk. "Just go
as far as you like and say for me that
Kaufman is in the best of condition" ="
he said. 81 know lots of trainers and
managers will issue false statements,
but every one in the business knows
that Billy Delaney never peddles any
bull. I mean it when I say that Kauf-
mann will fight Barry, and, feel posi-
tive, whip him.
I'm speaking of Barry I earnestly
wish 1t were Tommy Burns instead. I
consider Barry a much harder nut than
the Canadian and would prefer the lat
ter on which to celebrate New Years.
Kaufman will win from Barry all
right, but 1 know Burns would be
easier. Al boxed with Tommy once and
is sure he can whip him without an
effort"
Kaufman put in a busy period yes
terday afternoon, entertaining a couple
of old friends from New York in Jack
Fogarty and Tom Mcclure, Tammany
politicians. and ardent admirers of the
big Frisco slugger. For their benefit
All went through his full course of
fancy gymnasium stunts and also
boxed three rounds with JACK Red
mond to show the easterners what he
could do with the mitts. Kaufman
"enjoyed" an eight-mile spin in the
morning and was decidedly clipper
after his hard work.
Big Jim Barry turned loose some spe-
cialties that were decidedly entertain
ing for the benefit of the fans assem-
bled at Jack Doyle's place. The Chi
cago man went an extra long way on
the road before lunch, and when it
came time for the afternoon doings he
was ready and willing to go the job.
Frank Mantell. Montana Sullivan,
Clarence English and newcomer from
Denver named Ray Moore took their
turn with the gloves in three-round
bouts, and every one of them was sorry
to be there. Barry's weight was an
nounced as being at the 1861 pound
mark.
Both Barry and Kaufman will put
on extra cards this afternoon for the
benefit of their Christmas day audi
ences. Barry will spar with his regular
attendants, while Kaufman expects
to have plenty of help at Venice.

AUSTRALIAN RUGBY
TEAM COMING HERE

Los Angeles is to receive visit from
the Australian Rugby football fifteen
now touring England soon after the
first of the year.
1t is believed that the local followers
of the game will bestir themselves so
the antipodeans can be induced to place
Los Angeles on their schedule. Later
a game will be arranged with an ALL
California Rugby team.
The Australians are a fine body of
men and play a quality of ball that
will prove valuable as an object les
son to California Rugby players, many
of whom are comparatively new at the
game.

| cannot multiply and do more harm
Just So the European nations act with
regard to ideas that are dangerous to
their order of things, or rather, to the
disorder to which they have grown ac-
customed. Among these are also the
ideas of Henry George. But light
shines even in the darkness, and the
darkness cannot cover it, A truthful,
fruitful idea cannot be destroyed.
However you may try to smother it, it
will still live, it will be more alive than
all the vague, empty, pedantic ideas
and words with which people are try
ing to smother it, and sooner or later
the truth will burn through the veil
that is covering it and it will shine
forth before the whole world Thus it
will be also with Henry Georges idea.
"And it seems to me that just now

are tillers of the SOIL and where, this
theory is merely a conscious express
sion of that which has always been re-
garded as right by the entire Russian
people-in Russia, say, especially dur
