Los Angeles herald., 1908-08-23


with the San Diego Rowing club crew
Jim easily led the rest of the boys in
the daily runs. Many of the members
have chosen him as q favorite IN the
race, while others are more conserva-
tive and allow him second or third
place. Nevertheless, the general opin-
ion among the members seems to be
that Jim will give any of the runners
hard race.
Assistant Secretary Billy Henderson
yesterday announced that beginning
Monday, August "a, there will be box
ing and gymnastic classes at the annex
at Venice. Arrangements already nave
been made with Boxing Instructor Van
Court to go to the seaside club. The
classes will be held twice week,
probably on Monday nights and Thurs
day afternoon. 1t is not expected that
there will be many members at the
first few classes, but as II becomes
known that the classes have started,
more than likely the youths of Venice
will stroll around occasionally.
Assistant Secretary Henderson has
at his desk several entry blanks to the
A. A. u, which all members who are
| TO run in the race to Venice are re-
ouired to fill out. The price to I'LL these
| blanks out is "two bits" In return
for the coin each member will receive q
piece of colored cardboard with his
name on it. insignificant as II may
seem, it will entitie you to break YOU
neck on Admission day between Lo;
Angeles and Venice.
The "Angel Child' is following in the
footsteps of the departed Ivan Kahn
He announced yesterday that he was a
slnanager Judging from the way he
announced the secret ID the word man
ager might have been spelled with cap
| ital letters. At any rate, he proved
himself a wise boy in the fact that It
looks as though he had picked the Win
ner Even at that, it is rather tough
on the winner, especially at lunch time.
The winner wanted piece OF pie. AL
right" said the Angel Pie Is brought
in and the Angel suddenly remembers
his duty as a manager. you cannot
eat pie; you are In training. / will eat
it for you" Taking glance at the
! check a little later, 1t was noticed that
the winner had signed it.
If jay WeIton is as slow in the race
| to Venice as he was yesterday after-
noon in comprehending that he was
beaten at his pet game of cards, 1t will
| take him a week to see salt water. In
at least ten hands the baseball magnate
did not score even one point.
There is a possibility that Sam Coul-
! ter will change his mind about going
north for a few months. During an in
terview with Sam yesterday 1t was
found that he had no especial reason
for going to Santa Barbara except that
he wants to see real woods" once
again.
AL Treloar will return from his va
cation tomorrow from the Coronado
tent city, where he has been for the
past ten days with his wife. No doubt.
AL will be glad to get back and help
in the matter of training for the race.
Cliff Reuman will box with AL Kauf-
man at Venice this afternoon. A
number of the boys will go down to
see the performance. Cliff will pass
the early part of the day at Playa del
Rey, where he will continue his rowing
stunts. which is becoming habit with
the clever middleweight.
r. o. Young's name was signed to
the entry blank for the long distance
race to Venice. Young may be able
to sling hats to perfection at Loeder's,
but it is doubtful If he can kid" him
self into a sufficient frenzy to attempt
the strenuous jog to Venice.
