the state league into organized base
ball, and Hen expresses the opinion
that the details will be arranged easily
and to the entire satisfaction of all
concerned. Berry and Ewing have
been delegated with fun powers of
treaty, and whatever agreement they
make with the outlaws will be APP
proved by the commission. If the plans
go through class 3 team will be
placed In Los Angeles, and the fans
will have the pleasure of supporting
two pennant-chasing clubs In as many
leagues.
Figures have just been made public
as to the results of the guessing con-
tests opening day at Santa Anita. Ac-
cording to the authority upon which
the figures are based, Nelson Jones Is
the only one of the twenty-three book
makers in line that day who broke
even. George Rose gambled away $4,000
Of his bank roll, Sam Shaen frittered
away $500, Sammy Klein made $1,000
worth Of bad investments, Paul Hoff-
man guessed so amateurish that he
quit $500 to the bad, Hughey Jones
chased sure things long enough to drop
5000, and the Arcadia club had $500
worth of bad luck. These figures are
reliable.
p. G. Van Colt, wealthy sportsman
of New York, has arrived to test the
winter climate of Los Angeles during
| the Santa Anita season. He formerly
was a turfman and owned Right and
True, but now finds it easier to loso
his money by playing the game from
the spectators gallery.
| Frank bureau, owner of the SauSalito
pool rooms, is a daily visitor at Santa
Anita during his brief vacation In the
south. He won nice bank roll on
| Centre Shot opening day, and gave ii
and little bit more back to the needy
bookmakers when Miss Officious failed
| to justify form.
Roy Ofrut Is reported to have lost
$1,000 on The Sultan when the favorite
! failed to get his snoot In front yester-
day. Roy also was unlucky enough ia
have only 5000 to show when his long
shot, John Lyle, romped home opening
day at IL and IS to l.
Cricket Kelly, one Of the star riders
of a few seasons ago at Ascot. indeed
Is in hard luck. Several owners. who

q PORTSMEN hereabouts are hereby
notified that The Herald is pro-
noting plans for a Christmas Gin
ner, with Christmas tree attachment,
and each department of the editorial
staff has been invited to aid in the
worthy cause. Naturally, / shall be
disappointed, discouraged disheartened
and. probably, dismissed, if the sport
ing department does not lay all others
in the shade when It comes to publish
ing the various lists. Therefore, / am
hustling and have dozen long sheets,
sufficient to hold names that represent
contributions of several thousand dol
lars, and about 500 individual slips for
the "plungers'' who want to aid with
large contributions. These sheets will
be placed in the various sporting re-
sorts and sportsmen generally are in
vited to affiX their names ant pungle
up the amounts set opposite thereto,
and at the same time it is especially
desired that there be as little procras-
tination as possible in this matter.
There are hundreds of children among
the poor of Los Angeles who will not
know that Christmas has arrived I'M
less this plan is made a success. A
Christmas tree will be one of the lux
uries that these children will not know
unless the charitably inclined public
assists with its contributions, and it
is for the purpose of making an or
ganized effort at obtaining sufficient
funds to guarantee the success of the
plans that The Herald has undertaken
this work. The Joy and happiness thai
a Christmas dinner and a real Christ
mas tree will bring into the lives Of
the little ones will be more than ample
reward for those who help by con-
tributing. The cause is so worthy in
nature that argument is not only un-
necessary, but II Is a reflection upon
the people to whom il is made, and
shall not attempt or hazard It. How
ever, / hope that all my friends in
the sporting wolrd of Los Angeles will
lend their aid TO these plans by maxi
ing early and liberal contributions. My
list must be the biggest in amount
that is turned in.
Hen Berry is going back to Frisco

According to the terms Of the match
Flynn will get $1,000, win, lose or draw.
FOR his share of the purse that Berger
will hang up. This $4,000 must be de-
posted with the stakeholder, to be
chosen later, two days before the date
Of the fight. Berger did not reveal the
nature of his offer to Langford, but as
the classy negro is finding it so diff
cult to get on a good match Berger
probably was not held up by him.
Langford twice has knocked out Jim
Barry, and the latter came along and
defeated Flynn in ten rounds. This
dope makes it look rather stormy for
Flynn, but the fireman has all conf
dence in his ability to take punishment
and successfully slug with Langford.
Flynn figures that he fights along such
different lines to those used by Barry
that he will have a better chance to
cop the negro, and he will train hard
to get into condition to put up his
greatest battle.
About all that Langford will get out
of the scrap, regardless of the result,
is the money that his share will amount
to- He will not add much to his pres

turned the trick, but If Flynn defeats
him 1t is a cinch that Samuel is elm
mated from the dmelight So any old
way the fight goes Langford must be
content to view the prospect that
means that the best he can get is the
worst of it, except in financial affairs.
t'lynn will meet a scrapper for once
who will weigh close to the poundage
that he usually makes when in his best
fighting trim. He will not be giving
away great hunks of weight, as he has
done in all his other battles In recent
months, and there is no denying that
the fireman Is a bit too good for the
average middleweight, and slightly too
light to be a heavyweight contender.
Langford has 1t on him in cleverness
and generalship. and also has a wallop
that has frightened all the big boys
into cover. Yet Flynn stayed eleven
rounds with Jack Johnson, who weighs
from thirty to fifty pounds more than
Langford, and who is materially clev-
erer than Langford. So the fireman
may surprise everybody by sticking
the limit.
Danny Webster always has hankered
after the scalp of Jimmy Walsh, and
believes he has it on the Beantown
kid good and strong. Danny will stack

u. u. DeArnan was among the Wis
itors yesterday at Santa Anita He
has sold his entire stable of horses
and retired from the turf, at least
temporarily. DeArman contends that
he is not guilty of the offense for which
his entries were refused last season
and hopes to be able to present con-
vincing proof and arguments to the
powers that be to enable him to clear
his turf record. DeArman is one of
the most popular horsemen in the
business and the general racegoing
public Is laboring under the impress
sion that he has been rather harshly
handled. Hereafter, whose unsatisfac-
tory race last spring was made the
occasion for refusing mis- entries and
thereby made it compulsory upon him
to sell his valuable stable of winners
at a big financial sacrifice, has been
running in exceedingly poor form ever
since that day, and this indicates that
DeArman may be correct in his con-
tentions.

TEACHERS INSTITUTE
IS NOW IN SESSION
VIII Continue in Session Here
For Two Weeks.
The Attendance of Teachers From
All Over the County is Large
and Interest Lively.

The annual Grant county teach
ers' institute opened Monday with
the very gratifying enrolment Of
$50 the first day. On the second
day of the institute this was increas-
ed to 156 and no doubt will go
beyond the 200 mark before the end
of the two weeks. The 1908 insti-
tute will very likely break all
records in regard to attendance.
The interest shown the first two
days was far more. gratifying to
Superintendent Brockert and the
able crops of conductors than the
attendance. Nearly every teacher
or prospective teacher present SEEM
ed to have come with the intention
of adding much knowledge of the
best and most approved methods in
teaching.
This Year the institute, besides
giving professional training gives an
opportunity to teachers who have
already secured third grade certi-
ficate to review the second grade
branches and obtain a second grade
certificate without writing again on
third grade subjects. Those attend
ing the institute and holding a
second grade certificate may secure
one of the first grade without writ
ing or the branches required for the
two lower grades.
The main work of the institute is
as usual, based on the last edition
of the Manual The following SUBJ
jects are being reviewed: Reading,
arithmetic, geography, agriculture,
school management, library reed&
