Welsh in fifteen rounds and Is anxious
to get on a match with him in Los
Angeles. This may be true, but Packy
cannot loaf and do it, He loafed
through fifteen rounds Of their last
fight and was lucky to save his un-
beaten record. Next time, in all prob
ability, he will go in and fight from
the beginning. as he did when he met
Brock.
Five new stakes have been added to
the fourteen established last year for
the Santa Anita meeting and the stake
offerings have been materially in
creased. The official announcement of
these stakes will not be made until the
last of next week, when the stake book
viii be issued.
Horses are beginning to arrive at
Santa Anita, several strings getting in
yesterday from the north and east.
Among the arrivals yesterday were the
following: r. L. Thomas coast division
of twelve horses in charge of George
Reed, Early Wright's string of seven,
Red Freeman and three and w. b.
Jennings string of twelve.
w. B. Jennings shipped Rosegal and
Julia Powell in the string that arrived
from the east yesterday and has sew
eral nlghly bred yearlingS in the bunch.
Rosegal will be remembered as the
two-year-old that gave Colonel Bob a
trimming first out last season.
Early Wright shipped direct from
Seattle and did not forget to bring
The Sultan with him. Stanley Page, the
newsboy jockey who was developed at
Santa Anita last winter and became
the star of the Seattle meeting, came
south with the Wright horses. Page
sustained severe injuries several weeks
ago when three horses fell In a race,
including his mount. This forced him
to remain on the ground. and his
standing suffered in consequence. He
will be seen in the saddle at the Santa
Anita meeting.
Gil Summers and his string, headed
by the speedy sprinter Dominus Arvi,
Is preparing to ship from Seattle TO
Santa Anita. He has sent notice that
he will ship a week from Sunday.
Will Mcdaniel, trainer of the ]. ].
Walsh string, which includes Sir Ed
ward, Dredger Lee Rose and Marster,
also has sent word that he will ship at
once from the Meadows to the Arcadia
track. Walsh is expected to arrive In
q few days. The success of this stable
during the summer months was excel
lent, but not near what 1t should have
been with ordinary racing luck.

could not be seen last night to affirm
or deny the rumor. George Rose also
! mysteriously disappeared last evening,
and up to last midnight could not be
located. He is so given to making de-
mails of everything, however, that he
| probably would enter a denial that
Brooks is being considered for the APP
pointment. However, a big stockhold-
er in the racing association Is author
! ity for the statement that Brooks is
| being considered as a compromise ap-
| pointment as between Gardner and I'm
rub.
Fight for Home Men
Another fact that may be used to
support the rumor of Brooks appoint
ment is the strong and undeniable
sentiment among those Angelenos who
| own stock In the racing association and
among business men generally that it
Is poor policy for the association to
send east for all of it's officials Home
men have been overlooked almost en-
tirely in the past by the local racing
associations in these appointments and
1t does not set we'll with the home
stockholders.
Brooks is known far and wide among
horsemen and racing officials as one
of the cleverest handicappers in the
country. He is natural born handi-
eapper, knows horses and horsemen
like a child knows its A B Cs, and
there is not a detail about the man.
agement of race track that he does
not know and know WELL There Is not
horseman of any prominence in
America who does not know Brooks,
and despite that at times his mean
temper has made enemies for him, his
abilities are recognized and not ques-
toned.
Brooks is a popular man in local
sporting circles and his appointment
would give universal satisfaction. With
out any information upon the subject
beyond a general knowledge of the
friendship between Baldwin, Unruh and
Brooks, 1t is safe to say that Brooks
would be as acceptable to the Baldwin
interests as any man, with the possible
exception of Unruh. The latter is a
keen business man, has handled the
affairs of Baldwin most successfully
for many years and is a man above re-
proach. But 1t is probable that his
limited acquaintance with horsemen
and his equally limited experience In
conducting the affairs OF race track
would make the duties of the position
of manager fall rather heavily upon his
shoulders
Rose contends that there will be per-
feet harmony of action in the directors
meeting next Tuesday. This may mean
that both factions are ready to meet
half way and compromise their quar-
rels, and it may mean that Rose Is
talking sentiments that are fathered
by the wish. Baldwin is not man to
quit under fire, but he never has been
accused of being unreasonable in BUSH
ness deals unless forced to that ex-
tremity by the unreasonable demands
of those with whom he is dealing.
These facts encourage the belief that
both factions will get together and
act in harmony Tuesday afternoon for
the best interests of the sport.

six-round go with Charlie Anslinger.
Stone, however, developed Charley

bad that re was obliged to call Off the
bout with Anslinger. It Is probable
that Frank Picato will take his place,
the swarthy boy having recovered from

was to go on with Anslinger before,
and he has been training for the past
week, so he will be In condition to

next Tuesday night. His name. of
course, is Charles Boscha, and just the
fact that he beat as good q man as
Retzer is doing a whole lot. Boscha
has been in splendid physical condi-
ton, as he previously had been training
for his fight with Hugo, whom he de-
feated, thus winning the 125-pound
amateur championship title of South
ern California. He had not been reck-
oned with very seriously before the
ten-mile mark had been reached, and
after that he had not ceased to be reck-
oned with.
Although George Refer might have
been ignorant of the fact, he was rum
ming the race under a handicap. If
he had shown the least signs of fatigue
during the run Al Treloar was ready to
take him out of the race. THAT young
ster has the grit of monarch. and /
know he will insist upon running, even
though it is with his dying breath"
said the big referee Tuesday after
noon, "but as referee of the race 1t
will be my privilege to stop any man
from running that I wish" AL had
good grounds for such a statement,
for the popular little runner had been
suffering for about ten days with sharp
pains in his side and stomach, and
how he ever ran the race In this con-
dition was nothing short Of marvellous.
Under normal conditions George al
most certainly would have made better
time If not a better position.
Do not forget club night at the Au-
ditorium next Tuesday night.

RIVAL AUTO BOARDS

NEW YORK, Sept. 11.-Adjustment

bile Club of America and the American

Stranger things have happened than
that James w. Brooks may become
manager of the Santa Anita winter
meeting, and while this announcement
may be a surprise to those who know
the unconcealed friction that has ex-
listed between Brooks and President
Tom williams of the Pacific Jockey
club in the last two or three years,
good men of high standing in the coun-
ellis of the Los Angeles Racing associa-
tion and whose word always goes un-
questioned have said that Brooks Is
slated for the appointment, and that.
too, with the consent and approval OF
Williams.
1t is no secret that there is q war on
between Lucky Baldwin on one side
and George Rose, Barney Schneider
and J. L. Holland on the other. This
war is not one Of personal enmity,
but is a difference of opinion regarding
the changes proposed in the Official
family at Santa Anita for the winter
meeting. Baldwin is firmly opposed to
the reappointment of Col. A. w. Ham
ilton as presiding judge and DR.. ]. s.
Gardner as manager. That he has won
out In securing the removal of Col.
Hamilton practically is admitted by
Rose and his associates. But there is
to be a lively scrap over the appoint
ment of a manager.
1t begins to look very much like both
factions are up against the proposition
of a compromise agreement and maxi
ing mutual concessions If harmony is
to prevail at the meeting next Tuesday
afternoon and in the conduct of the
winter meeting. That the Rose-Schrei-
ber-Holland faction Is willing to COM
promise with Baldwin and concede the
appointment of Murphy to succeed Col.
Hamilton appears probable on the sur
face, but 1t does not appear yet just
what this faction will get in return.
May Compromise on Brooks
1t is known that Baldwin's grudge
against DR.. Gardner is a personal one,
and for that reason mention Of the
name of Brooks in connection with the
management is taken to mean that the
-Schrieber- Holland faction is
equally as strong in opposing the ap-
pointment of H. A. Unruh, business
agent of Baldwin, as manager, and
that a compromise is being talked that
will end in the appointment of Brooks.
This. however, is pure guesswork, as
none of the interested parties will
affirm or deny the rumor.
Only last spring Williams told me
that Brooks could not have any hand
in the Santa Anita pie at any time. 1t
is, or was, a personal matter between
them. This made the story of Brooks
probable appointment look a bit unre-
liable at first glance, but 1t was said
that Brooks and Williams had buried
the Ratchet and that the boss of coast
racing had withdrawn all opposition to
Brooks. This made the story take on
some reasonable form, and If 1t Is true
that Williams has withdrawn his oppo-
sition to- the former Ascot manager
there Is little doubt that he will be APP
pointed to the Santa Anita job.
Brooks is at home, qnite sick, and

his statement to the writer a few

would be his last as he has extensive
business interests that require per-
sonal attention, and since he has at
tanned the ambition of his life in ris-

in the ring, and his business interests
will produce more and easier money

he could get in the ring, he probably

Press dlSpatcneS from memphis,

surned in that state next spring and
that Montgomery park at Memphis
and Cumberland park at Nashville
again will be entertaining the thou
sands of lovers of the thoroughbred
that once made the sport in that state
on a par with racing anywhere. The
hope expressed in the dispatches is
accounted for in the nomination of
Malcolm r. Patterson for governor on
the Democratic ticket. This is equiv
alent to election and Patterson is a
member of the Memphis Jockey club,
which conducted racing at Montgom-
cry park and his influence is conceded
to be in favor of the revival of the
sport. The new legislature will con-

racing will be renewed and predictions
are made by politicians in that state
that the anti boolmaking statute will
be repealed.
