ROSE
RosEMEAD IDEAL PLACE FOR
VENTURE OF KIND
Celebrated Jockeys Plan to Make
Ranch Famous as Training
Ground and Home of
Cracks

TN HE dreams of Il. ]. Rose, made long
ago and making Rosemead a place
Il to rival the greatest breeding estab-
lishments in the land, may be brought to
reality If the plans of Hal and Alvin
Booker are carried out The well-known
jockeys and horsemen have taken hold
of the old Rose place on the ID Monte
road and are fast accomplishing some-
thing that approaches a model stock farm.
Rosemead is particularly adapted to the
work the Booxers have in hand. Ninety
acres Of fertile soil allow of adequate
pasture room, ard the three big barns at
the paddock are thoroughly up TO date.
The stud barn is also a model of its
kind and a six-furlong training track is
in fine condition for workouts of the
thoroughbreds. Three wells furnish an
abundance of fresh water and everything
about the place tends to insure first
class establishment for the raising of
horses.
At the start the Brokers plan to keep
horses for owners who wish to leave their
charges here at the end of tho Santa An
tia season and put them in a safe pas
ture. Later they will purchase a few
good sires and brood mares and raise
thoroughbreds which, they hope, will be
hailed stake horses all over the country.
The Booker brothers are particularly
adapted to the work they have under
taken. Both were celebrated jockeys on
the American turf and more than one big
stake enriched their contract employers
because of their skill in the saddle.
Alvin Booker was seen in the saddle at
Ascot last season and was one of the
best jockeys at the local course. In the
Worlds Fair handicap a. st. Louis q
few years ago he piloted Colonial Girl TO
victory in the $4,000 stake, beating the
great Hermis for the biggest purse ever
offered for a race in America.
Both as a jockey and trainer Hal
Booker made a mark that is not easily
rubbed out. Judge Hines, when he won
a big classic at Chicago many years ago,
was piloted by Hal, and when he became
too heavy to ride the young man turned
his attention to training. The numerous
killings made with Gilpin and others Of
his string show how apt Hal is at gettii :
horses ready for he races, and he is fully
abe to direct the work now In hand.
At the end of the present Santa Anita
season the real labors of the Bookers
will begin for they have already been
asked TO take care of numerous racers
which owners plan to leave here during
the summer months. Rosemead will
again be a scene of activity, as in the
days of long ago when L. ]. Rose and his
Sunny Slope ranch were spoken of in the
same breath as Lucky Baldwin and
Santa Anita.
The Booker venture will be watched
with interest by their many friends, who
feel that they have not been kindly
treated by racing officials in this part of
the country.

both hurdlers and jumpers, were on this
team. Prinstein the broad jumper, who
Is still in the harness, was also a com
petitor and so was Baxter, the high
jumper. In Paris he did feet inches
in the high jump. Sheldon and tlana-
gan, the weight men, astonished the for
eigners and won as they pleased In
London at this same time this team
swept the Englishmen off their feet,
winning about everything in sight.
AT the last Olympian games in Greece
a year ago the American team again
demonstrated its superiority and won the
majority of events, most of them with
ridiculous ease.
The records of all these international
competitions show that America is we'll
ahead of the other countrjes when 1t
comes to producing athletes. The team
that will represent the Stars and Stripes
next summer will be UP to the standard
and we may await with complacency the
outcome at London.

The Greatest American Team
In the international games in Paris in
1900 there were twenty-four scratch con-
tests and the American team took eight
cen of them. This was perhaps the
strongest team that ever left the United
states to invade a foreign land. Among
the sprinters were such men as the great
Duffy, Jarvis, Tewsbury and Burroughs.
Then there was Maxey Long. the great

ran a quarter in AZ seconds.

The NEW
CITY HALL

The citizen of Chickasha who thinks
he knows just where the new city
hall will be located has another guess
coming. In fact it is going to take s ~
eral guesses before the actual loca-
ton is spotted. Since the voting of
the bonds for the purpose of building
a city hall, the question OF its location
has been an all absorbing topic.
Yesterday afternoon a meeting was
held Of Kansas avenue property own
ers, to secure, if possible, its location
upon some corner of that thorough
fare. It is said that a cash bonus will
be paid the city, or the lots contributed
in fee simple, in order to secure the
location in that direction.
The city of Chickasha owns a had
some lot 5Ox165 on the corner Of
Fourth and Choctaw, and the location
Of the new city hall on this lot is
strongly advocated No doubt, later
on, other locations VIII develop, with
strong backing, anxious to secure this
highly priced municipal plum.
At the present time the location is
a mere guessing contest and the pub
lie is playing the game.
