OCCIDENTAL WINS
FROM ATTORNEYS
Continuous Fumhllng Performances
Enabled GarVanzans TO Score AL
most at viii While Their Goal
Never Was Menaced
Occidental % U. S. C. Lawyers o

In an exceedingly one-sided game the
Occidental varsity football team yes
terday afternoon defeated the law
school eleven from the University of
Southern California, on the Occidental
field. Coach Draper's men did not
show up as well in yesterdays game
as they did a week ago. In the former
game the men were angry and played
accordingly, but the showing yesterday
was rather listless and characterized
by many fumbleS.
Coach Gorton's men showed marked
Improvement over last weeks game,
and the fact that they did not run the
score any higher no doubt was due to
the fumbles by her backs.
Fred Thompson was in the game yes
terday for the Occidental boys and
showed up to advantage at left end.
Carus held down the position of left
half to perfection, regardless OF the
fact that his leg still was sore from an
injury sustained in the game with the
Sherman Indians last Saturday.
Occidental made her first touchdown
within the first five minutes of play
by holding the law school team to its
own territory after the kick off, re-
gaining the ball from downs and then
bucking the y. S. c. line with alter
nate right and left formations. The
second touchdown was made with the
aid of several fumbles by the u. S. c.
full back the last one being a failure
on his part to block a punt which
struck on the U. S. c. 5-yard line and
was pushed over for a touchdown by
Occidental Occidental missed the goal
on the kick and the score stood II to
at the end of the first half.
The second half practically was a
repetition of the first, and Occidental,
by the aid of many fumbles on the
part of the u. S. C. boys, was enabled
TO make two more touchdowns, all
though they missed one kick for goal.
AS both coaches regarded the game
simply as a practice affair. no official
lineups were given out. The two eleV-
ems win meet again Thursday in an
other practice game, after which Occi-
dental will go through light signal
drills for the gamo with Whittier,
which is to be played Saturday after
noon at Whittier.

ANOTHER MILWAUKEE
BOYLOOKS PROMISING

With the passing of the veteran
lightweight contenders for the title of
that division comes a new crop of
promising "yearlings" who are expected
to develop into championship possibili-
ties within another year. Most promi-
nent among the newcomers anywhere
is Jimmy Clabbe of Milwaukee, who is
IS years old and has been fighting only
two years.
Clabbe is the rage in Milwaukee and
around Chicago. He is a tall, rangy
boy, and is said to be the cleverest
fighter in his division who has shown
in Milwaukee in the last year He Is
said even to be cleverer than Maurice
Sayers, which is saying heap.
Nearly every fighter and fight man
ager who has come this way from the
east in recent months has been talk
ing enthusiastically about this chap,
and Baron Long has about decided to
give him a chance to show himself at
the Jeffries club in short time. In
his two years of fighting. Clabbe has
lost only three decisions, never has
been knocked out, and all his defeats
were sustained In his early career,
none recently. He has fought 40 times

No surprise was occasioned yester-
day by the receipt of the news from
Lexington, KY, to the effect that the
state racing commission had revoked
the license issued the Latonia Jockey
club for the fall meeting, which began
Monday and was to have run about
thirty days. 1t was the only move that
a self-respeeting commission could
make when the Jockey club proceeded
to carry out it's intimidating threat to
ignore the commission unless book
making was permitted at the Latonia
meeting. This means, of course, that
the jockey club will attempt to run re-
gardless of the action of the commits
sion, and that the nasty snarl will go
also means, in all probability. that the
racing game will go up the fiue in
that state. Douglas Park cleaned up
Sal, 900 at Its recent meeting, where no
bookmaking was permitted Latonia
insists that 1t cannot run without book
making and the revenue derived from
the bookmakers. Col. Milton Young,
one of the foremost breeders in Amer
lea and a man thoroughly conversant
with all the angles of the racing game,
offered to take the meeting off the
hands OF the Latonia Jockey club and
bind himself to run it the full alIvt-
ment of racing days. The offer was
not accepted. The substance of 1t all
Is that the gang which has killed rae
ing everywhere it has had a hand In
the game is about to put its blight
upon the sport In Kentucky. Substitu-
ton of the pari-mutuels for the book
makers Is inevitable, and sooner or
existence or the game will pass them
out of job by being closed up. 1t Is
bound to come in California, and If the
men in charge Of coast racing do not
take time by the forelock and do away
with the bookmakers they cannot ex-
pect anything of a permanent nature
for the sport here.
Matchmaker AL Henze of the San
Pedro Athletic club has almost COM
offer the night Of November Q, and 1t
will be the best offering the club ever
has attempted. Maurice Sayers and
Frank Picato will travel the twenty
round route in the main event. and
Young Dougherty of Milwaukee and
Kid Arcy OF San Pedro will furnish one
of the preliminaries at six rounds. An
other preliminary, over the ten-round
route, will be arranged this week. With
the announcement that the club Will

that no conflicting date be arranged

FRIDAY CARD
IS COMPLETED
THlRTY-Slx ROUNDS PROVIDED
FOR
ALL ME BOYS ARE DOWN TO
HARD TRAINING
Four Bouts, Three of Them at Ten
Sessions and One at Six, Arranged
for the Weekly Shew at Maud
Junction Pavilion

Thirty-six rounds of boxing is the
card which the Pacific Athletic club mas
provided for the patrons of the sport
at McCareys pavilion Friday evening.
The program was completed yester-
day by the addition of six-round bout
between Mike Dalton and Eddie White.
to the three ten-round contests al
ready announced. White is an Austral-
ian, and fights at 126 pounds, which is
Just the weight of Dalton. The full
program is as follows:
Maurice Sayers(vs. Dick Cullen, ten
rounds.
Walter Fisher VS.. Kid Snyder, ten
rounds.
Willie O'Neill VS.. Danny Webster, ten
rounds.
Mike Dalton VS.. Eddie White, six
rounds.
This will be Dick Cullens first ap-
pearance in Los Angeles. He comes
with good record of victories. having
cleaned up all the boys in the middle
west and at Frisco Just under the
lightweight class. Cullen is working
hard at the East Side Athletic club,
with Willie O'Neill, who also appears
next Friday night in his second bat
tie with Danny Webster.
O'Neill gained the decision over the
Los Angeles boy when the two met
before in Frisco, but Webster de-
clares that he will take up a different
line of action Friday night, and he
hopes to show the fans that he Is
back to his oldtime form once more.
For the first time, Walter Fisher
has agreed to make weight for one OF
the feathers and will do 122 pounds at
8 o'clock Friday afternoon for Kid
Snyder. Fisher Is training with the
Cullen-O'Neill outfit at Fred Wards
camp and has the Turk as an assistant.
Kid Snyder Is working daily at the
pavilion on Chavez street, and Roy
Page hopes to get him in shape so the
fight fans will see a hot contest when
he hooks up with young Fisher. Snyder
beat Eddie Russell so decisively and
easily last Friday evening that there
are many patrons of the sport who be-
lieve that he will have a good chance
against the tow-headed youngster from
San Bernardino. Charlie O'Connor, who
handled George Memsic during his Los
Angeles career. has taken Fisher under
his care and will see that he Is not
advanced too rapidly, on account OF
his immature age.
The program for Friday evening Is
one that will please the fans. and there
seems little doubt that the pavilion
will be filled at the popular prices
which will prevail, as usual.
The Battling Johnson-Arthur Collins
match finally was declared off yester-
day by Manager McCarey, the Russian
having demanded a much larger
amount for his end of the purse than
originally was agreed by Jim Gaines,
his manager.
Jim Flynn will start training this
afternoon at the East Side club for his
ten-round contest with Jim Barry at
McCarey's pavilion November 6. Flynn
seems to be heavier and in better shape
than ever before. and his declaration
that he will beat Barry at this meet
ing is borne out by his appearance.
Barry is working hard at Vernon, for
he realizes that he has no easy snap in
the fireman.

kOESTNER WINS
Ills OWN GAME
TWIRLS BEAUTIFULLY ALL
THE WAY
Sutor Shows to Poor Advantage In
Duel with Former Three-Eye
League PItcher-Angels
Score to I Victory
Angels 8, Seals I

Koestner put it all over the great
Sutor yesterday in the opening game of
the final series of the season between
the Angels and the Seals and with ex-
cellent support in the field and with
the willow he won out by the score of
8 to l. 1t was nothing approaching a
pitchers battle, as Sutor seemed to
lack everything and possess nothing.
The visitors started off in the lead
in the first inning, scoring once on a
double by Mohler, q high throw to CEN
ter by Easterly, rough house eXhibl-
tion at third and a single. Koestner
settled down then and won his own
game by refusing the Seals anything
that looked like run, while he scored
a couple himself.
The Angels scored their first runs in
the third inning, and had the game
been ended without further scoring the
Angels would have won, as a brace Of
tallies were scored. In this inning
Delmas went the Mohler- Williams
route. Easterly hit a bounder which
got away from zeider, and then koest-
ner scored him with a triple, which
should have been held to single.
Koestner then beat out a throw to the
plate, scoring while Sutor is throwing
to the plate on Cakes bunt.
In the fourth another Angel crossed
the pan. Howard got to his base on
single and scored a moment later when
Smith doubled. Five runs, none of
which was needed, were tailed in the
'1ucky seventh" After Smith was put
out Delmas doubled to left and Easter
ly singled to the same spot. Koestner
smashes one to McArdle, who caught
Delmas at the plate, making two hands
down with no runs. Oakes singled to
center and Easterly romped home. Ellis
- n
allowing Koestner and Oakes to score.
Dillon doubled to right, scoring Ellis,
and he went home with the fifth run
when Brashear singled to center
