BIG YACHT RACE
IS NOW ASSURED
TRANSPACIFIC EVENT STARTS
JULY 4
Celebration at San Pedro Is Planned
for That Date, When Catalina
Contest Is sched-
uled

The forthcoming transpacific yacht
race. In which the big Hawaiian Yacht
Hawaii Is entered, was the only tonic
of Importance discussed at the i'm
promptu smoker held under the aus
pieces OF the South Coast Yacht club at
San Pedro last night. Every member
of the organization Is firmly convinced
that the race is foregone conclusion.
Undoubtedly the Fourth of July is
the date on which this race will be
sailed" said Lloyd Childs agent of the
Hawaiian promotion committee at Los
Angeles, speaking of the transpacific
yacht race yesterday.
I'VE are going to try to get San
Pedro to have regular Fourth of July
celebration that day and night, with
fireworks and other attractions" he
continued.
mot only does this transpaciflc race
start then, but the Catalina race of the
local yacht club is run that day as
we'll. So with two such good events
we should make a great day of it on the
national holiday,
Another Yacht Entered
Fred Dorr, owner of that beautiful
yacht Yankee Girl, had intended put
ting her on the ways at San Francisco
preparatory to taking long cruise.
But when he learned that two such
large yachts as Sinciair's Lurline ana
Garbutts Skidbladner were to be en-
tered in this transpacific race he con-
cluded not to prepare his boat for the
cruise, and will enter her In the race
also, in all probability.
H. p. Wood, secretary of the Ha-
waiian promotion committee, who Is
stationed at Honolulu, writes me that
it would have been a most bitter dis
appointment to those people If the race
had been postponed.
And l see by their newspapers which
have arrived that they read In great
headlines. Can 1t be possible that the
race will be called OFF,
You see there, in a small community,
unlike this. thing like the yacht race
is of interest to everybody. Each man
is interested in his neighbours welfare.
And they all speak of the yacht Hawaii
as our yacht. They take a personal
interest in her.
1T seems now as though the race
were well assured.
George Stewart, president of the
Los Angeles chamber of commerce, is
most enthusiastic supporter of the
enterprise, and Is going to augment the
yacht race committee of the chamber.

BIG GAMBLERSOF

PHIL PLAYED DOPE; RILEY
PLAYED LUNCHES
coPPERlNG PITTSRuRG'S ~BETS
HELPED GRAMMAR
Plunger Who Died at Rawhlde Re-
Recently Backed Henry of Ma
varre Against the Great
Domino

II can't understand why so many of
the biographers of the late Riley Gran
nan couple him with Pittsburg Phil,
said a turfman who was on close terms
with the plunger, who died at Rawhide,
New, the other day. THE two men
were alike in only one thing, and that
was their GOODNESS.
"Pittsburg Phil was the student and
scholar of the thoroughbred game.
Every bet that he made was based up
on something that he knew. Again, he
was the great master of the technique
of the game.
HE knew what the horse could do.
He knew what the jockey could do. And
he always found out in advance what
the horse and jockey were meant to do.
He regarded the random player of the
horses as q crazy man.
He paid big money for his knowl-
edge. There were times when 1T seemed
as if l.alf the owners and trainers on
the tracks were on PhiPs staff, They
made Phil their confidant and got their
reward for it.
IAN owner, for example, would stick
a horse into spot that looked good to
him. Then he'd go to Phil
"I think Pm going to win with that
one, Phil he would say, and PM
would ask him what made him think
like that.
They'd get together on the problem.
If Phil agreed with his owner friend
idea that that horse would get 1t, ne
would send in the big money, and
considerable amount of the bet would
go down In the owners interest.
Bet for Fun of Thing
"Toward the windup of his career,
when Phil was tired and sick and knew
that his days we're numbered, he virtu-
ally gave up his old-time close atten-
ton to the details of the betting bust
ness and lust spread his money around
in parcels that were considered small
for him for the fun of the thing.
"'Are you in right about this"
friend would ask him.
mo, I'm just gambling now,' would
be the reply.
"'Well, didn't you always gambler
the friend would ask.
81 should say not Phil would re-
ply. Me gamble? Do you think am
crazy?
"'Well, what were you doing when
you were pulling down those bundles
day in and day out?'
"'Well, l wasn't gambling, and you
can take that from me- Phil would
reply, and that would be the end of
the colloquy.
Riley Grammar was an utterly diff
ferent sort of man. He was gambler
pure and simple and he never con-
cerned himself with a close study or
analysis of the game.
Early in his betting career he took
a hack at all of the systems and he
ended by declaring them all futile and
foolish. He was strictly a bunch play
err, and he arrived at an opinion by
a mental process that was almost
feminine.
He was a sort of clairvoyant gam
bier. His intuition was marvellous. 1t
used to seem to me that he could close
his eyes and have mental picture of
the winning horse ambling down the
stretch on the tape.
ut was idle to ask him why he con-
sidered that that horse stood out. He'd
merely fan the fellows who asked him
the reason why. But when Riley was
at the top of his career and before
home troubles tapped his nerve and be-
