ARE ALL TOGETHER


Special to The Herald
RIVERSIDE, Feb. 10.-This is polo
week in Riverside, the tournament
which was to have commenced this
afternoon attracting large numbers oil
enthusiasts for the game from Southern
California and other parts of the coun-
try in competition for the Frank j.

event, and each afternoon tea will be
served at the Victoria club, and the

Five teams have entered for the con-
tests, as follows:
Riverside No. Wv. L. Roberts, r

Sullivan Offsets Disadvantage IN

T RACE-5h furlongs; purse

Jim Flynn, wonderfully improved

who saw him fight recently, and Jawn
Twin Sullivan, as crafty as ever, meet
tonight for the fourth time in their ca
reers, and 1t looks as though some
thing decisive were on the boards. The
ending Of the last fight between them
was anything but satisfactory, espe-
cially to the czar of Boston common,
and something approaching a real
sore still rankles in the heart OF each
man.
If the dope is true, Flynn will be
anything but soft for Sully. Those who
watched his fight against Jack john
son say that the Pueblo man has
learned a whole lot about the ring Ill
the last six months, and that he is
now the twins equal at the boxing
game.
This may all be true, but if Flynn
has hte head that is topped by Jawn's
naked roof he is a wonder, and no mis-
take. Sullivan is one of the craftiest
fighters in the business, and the very
fact that he is always leveling makes
him worth the price of admission any
old time he starts.

best of it. but this is more than offset
by Sully's generalship. The fireman
will enter the ring ready to tilt the
Fairbanks at the 170-pound mark,
while Sullivan will have to be fatter
than he was when boxing with Joe
Thomas in order to come within SIX
pounds of this notch.
Both men wound up their training
stunts yesterday, and If they are not
making a phoney talk about it, lack
OF condition can play no part in ex-
cusing a defeat for one or the other.
Flynn spent the day at the East Side
club, while the Twin journeyed over to
the race track and watched (nothine
else) the ponies cavort around the oval.

ranged to precede the main event

to get on here, and if he whips his
opponent. big Boogie Collins, he can
go as far as he likes. Russell Var
Horn and Henry Harris are carded to
open the evening with a six-round

.HANDICAPA
TIGHT FIT
WELL BALANCED FIELD STARTS
IN ALHAM BRA
Gull Holland, Named After Vice Presi-
dent of Association, Makes His
Debut with BuKch in
Baby Race
BY IRVING b. CLEMENT

Quantity and quality is in abundance
on the card for this afternoon at Santa
Anita park, with the Alhambra handi-
cap the feature event. Besides the
handicap there are two purse and three
selling events, all well matched and
close finishes and keen sport will proba-
bly, be the result, as there is not one
that looks to have cake walk.
A fair bunch will start the ball roll
ing by going five and half furlongs
and such good ones as Stray, Merrill,
To-day Hodge, Daisy Frost, Playlit and
several others i'll sport colors.
Sixteen baby racers may face Starter
Hoffman in the three-furlong dash, the
second number on the card, and they
should furnish good sport and the race
should be a holly contested one. Steel
ran a good second last time and will
sport the colors Of her new owner. Fred
Maier has finished bang up on several
occasions to good ones( Bold is nice
looking trick and improvement can be
looked for here. Gull Holland is the
one Barney Schneider sends to the post;
he is named after the vice president or
the Los Angeles Racing association.
II he is as good as his namesake great
things may be looked for.
PIaters in Third
A mixed lot of selling platers are en-
tered In the third race and 1t is a most
open affair Bonnie Prince Charlie is
overdue and will have Blair in the sad
die today again. Pantatoc ran as II
short In his race Saturday, which did
him lot of good. Stoney Lee is a hard
luck horse and maybe he can shake
his hoodos off today. DR.. Crook is very
speedy. but prefers a shorter route.
The handicap is a tight fit between
all entered, as the allotment of weights
show. Light Wool will have Schilling
in the saddle and is a front runner,
which is an advantage In large field.
Col. Jack was ridden all over the track
both of his last two outs. The same
may be said of Mark Anthony in his
last start. Col. White is a good horse
and Miller will have the mount.
Sink Spring Crepps Beckham Fasto-
so, Bird of Passage, Gentle Harry, Ellie
and Banlada will meet in the fifth race
and will put up a good contest once
around the track, and the public Will
be able to see both the start and finish
in front of the grand stand.
An exceptionally good lot of sprinters
will go in the sixth, a selling race at
five and a half furlongs. Marion Rose
will be ridden by Buxton, E. Martin
will ride Halton, Harry pilots Giovanni
Balerio, Creston Boy will have Ross as
baggage, Blair will ride Succeed and
Dugan will probably ride Aunt Polly.
This is an open affair and should re-
suit in a close finish,

HISTORIC COURSE
FOR YACHT RACE
By Associated Press.


BOSTON, Feb. 10.-An international
ocean yacht race on a historic course,
from Palos, Spain, to the Canary ISL
ands, over which Christopher Column
bus sailed on the first stage of his voy-
age to the New World, has been ar
ranged for next summer by the yachts
men of Spain, according to advices
received here by the members Of the
Eastern Yacht club.
1t is planned to send the contestants
away on August next, the four hum
bred and sixteenth anniversary of tho
sailing of Columbus, and to have that
start as near the point as possible
from which the Santa Maria, Pinta
and Nina weighed anchor.
The finish will be at Santa Cruz,
island of Tenerlffe, distance of about
600 miles, which Columbus covered in
six days.
All the yacht clubs of North and
South America will be invited to join
the Spaniards, and it is possible that
European clubs may also be asked to
participate, but at present it is the
intention to confine the race to those
countries directly benefited by the dis
coveries of Columbus.

MENNY FAILS TO
PRODUCE HIS COIN

1t looks as though the Nothing Doing
sign would have a place over the card
framed up for a Kelly Menny engage
ment. Yesterday the Buffalo fighter,
acting on the advice of frankie Dwyer,
his hacker, declined to go on with the
match unless Menny produced the side
bet he had been talking about, and
when Eddie failed to kick in Kelly
stated that he would not fight.
When the match was first preached
Menny claimed. to have all kinds of
backing and Kelly was figuring on a
$500 bet. The purse offered was only
SIPS, but with nothing else in sight
the Buffalo boy did not think it worth
while to train for this sum.
Taken all around Kelly is right. He
comes here we'll boosted, and would
have to knock Menny out in order to
make good. Eddie is anything but an
easy boy to hand a sleep powder to and
with only the purse to battle for Kelly
decided to withdraw.

.Janoes Edward Fails to Wire In Time
and District Attorney Langdon
Is Appealed To-Jlmmy
Due

Poor Willis Britt. The king of the
seat all day yesterday, and all be-
cause James Edward, sent north to at
tend to an important matter, failed to
notify brother Willie of what was
coming off.
To be frank about the matter, VII j.
lus was due to either appear in san
Francisco court this morning or else
be declared fugitive from justice
and burn up 5000 of other persons
money. They think enough of Willus
in Frisco to make him liable for that
amount, and sooner than give up 50
many ell ropos he decided to be there.
But the climate and some lingerie
dangling along Broadway appealed TO
Willus, and he sent James Edward
north to have the case set over few
days. Jimmie was to have notified the
senior member Of the Britt firm of the
outcome, but up to half an hour before
the owl was due to blow no word
came.
Willus was desperate. "Whatn
do?" he moaned. IT'S either that
forty-five thousand bucks or missing
a good time, and one is worth just
as much as the other"
Some one suggested using the long
distance phone and having a confab
with District Attorney Langdon. Will
lus offered several million dollars in
tips and central rushed the connection
through.
please, mister" said Willus to
Langdon, cant / stay down here and
have my case continued until after the
Britt-Nelson fight?"
"Well, don't know, Willus," replied
IIangdon. "But IL you'll waive your
rights and promise to win the fight I'll
let you stay and continue the case"
Willus didn't know what rights he
was waving. but he let it go at that
and stuck And as the different counts
