of Freddie Maier will be

I RIENDS of Freddie Maier will be
II pleased to know that he is show
\ ing much improvement and that
he will be out of bed and back at his
business tomorrow. Quite a number of
the boys visited him yesterday and
found him resting easily and much inn
proved in condition, with all dangerous
symptoms lacking. He has had tough
time of it for the last six weeks but
now that the danger point is past he is
feeling as clipper as a swallow in fly
time and would be sitting up if the
physician and family would permit the
rash act. Pneumonia is a serious pro-
position with big fellow like Freddie,
but a stout heart and a rugged consti-
tuition have pulled him through, and he
now is beyond the danger line.
R. F. Carman, millionaire, society
man and one of the leading turfmen of
the day, was along the Rialto yester
day greeting old friends of other sea-
sons He and his family will occupy
home in Pasadena during the winter,
where it will be more convenient to en-
terrain than would be the case were
they to live at hotel. Carman brought
tWenty-one horses TO Los Angeles for
the winter campaign and has not one
yearling in the bunch. He has Rifle
man, Mare Antony II and Acrobat, as
a prosperous season.
Gregory Mitchell, manager of Terry
Mustain, brought his big fighter to Los
Angeles yesterday and will put him at
work at Arcadia without delay. Mus
tain and Al Kaufman will be "at
home" to the fans at the Jeffries club
the night of November 10. Mustain
looks like a middleweight, but he
weighs 1875 pounds and says he will go
into the ring about ten pounds lighter.
He is a smuggling scrapper, and the
manner in which he disposed of Jack
CTwin) Sullivan and Joe Willis makes
native son quite an argument over the
long route.
Charlie OK, the veteran turfman
who developed the peerless Roseben
for Davy Johnsan, is an all-round
sportsman and can talk fight just as
entertainingly and authoritatively as
he can discuss turf affairs. He saw
John l.. Sullivan in action the first time
the big Boston champion ever stepped
in ring. 1t was on a boat bound from
Lowell to New York. and Sullivan was
to make his ring debut against Flood.
He says that the way Sullivan beat up
Flood would cause police interference
nowadays. He thinks, however, that
John Morrissey, gambler and politician
and boss of Tammany in other days.
was the greatest fighter the world ever
knew. He says that Morrissey could
whip all the men who could be crowded
in front of him, and finish as fresh as
a blooming daisy ok says the way
Morrissey became boss of Tammany
was by whipping every member of the
great political organization, after which
they submitted to his will for fear OF a
rpDPtitiOn of the 6iSCiOliDR.
Tom Mcdowell probably will not ship
to California for the winter season.
Henry Mcdaniel says that Mcdowell is
uncertain now whether he will race
during the winter months and probably
will decide to stay at home. This will
be unpleasant news to racegoers, as
Mcdowell owns many crack racers.
among them being Kings Daughter
and Berwick, and he was expected to
furnish some good racing with his
string during the Santa Anita season.
r. l.. Thomas is expected to arrive
in Los Angeles within another week.
He wrote Henry Mcdaniel that he
would go to Washington and come
direct to Los Angeles from there, init
mating that his stay in the national
capital would be brief Thomas will
not have such a bad string next winter
as many others, and Mcdaniel is of the
opinion that the Thomas horses will
win their share of the purses and
stakes, despite the improved class of
horses that will race here.
Tom Jones, manager of Billy Papke.
is of the opinion that the fight game
will not be kept closed down longer
than a month, predicting that it will
open up after election. Holding fights

scheduled in Milwaukee and Racine
