ATHLETES WILL
BOOM MARATHON
ATHLETIC CLUB MEMBERS
TURN TO BIG RACE
LOCAL COLLEGE RUNNERS MAY
WIN TROPHY
Rush of Entries Expected During the
Latter Part of the Month, as
Many Are Training for
Contest

Regardless of the fact that elaborate
arrangements are being made by many
members of the Los Angeles Athletic
club for a stupendous minstrel show,
which is to be pulled off during the
month Of February under the auspices
of the club, it is evident that the ma
jority of members are turning their
attention toward the Marathon race
which will be run New Years day to
Venice.
From present indications it is prob
able that each local college will be
represented in the race by one or
more runners. and undoubtedly one Of
these will annex the first prize, as only
three Los Angeles Athletic club mem
bers have entered the race. Many or
the members are training, but will wait
until the last week before formally en-
tering the contest.
Undoubtedly the entry list for the
New Years race will far exceed that
of the September race, when there
were but ten runners. Paul ReinWald'
the mountain climber, looks to have
the best chance for the first place, as
he is training daily for the event, and
according to spectators is showing up
well. G.. Pgliana of the Los Angeles
Athletic club sent in his entry yester-
day. Pgliana weighs about 118 pounds
and has done considerable running in
the east in addition to much short dis
lance running in Los Angeles He
shows up well in his training stunts
and undoubtedly will be favorite in
the contest.
Entries will be received by Secretary
Henderson at the Los Angeles Athletic
club by Leslie Henry at the Dyas-Cline
sporting goods house or by Chester
Lawrence at The Herald office until
December 25. The entrance of 81 Will
be used to defray the expenses of the
Southern California Marathon associa-
ton in hiring conveyances for the run
ners who become fatigued during the
run, and other necessary expenses, IN
GLIDING the purchase of prizes.

game with the Santa Barbara team
before going home to the Channel city.
Now that the game won by Dodge
vile from Rivera will have to be
played over again the difference be-
tween the two teams in the percentage
column is considerably lessened. The
standings are: Dolgeville .6S7, Rivera
.647, and have an excellent chance to
win the pennant. The ThiStles lost
their last chance by losing to the Pioo
Heights last Sunday, and now we VIII
all hold our breath and watch the fight
to a finish for the 'glad rag" There
is a movement on foot for a reorgani-
zation of the league next spring, and
all the teams now composed in the
present circuit are expected to continue
with a few more additions. The Pico
Heights and the Dolgeville protested
game will be played off at the end OF
the season and instead the two teams
will play the colored Giants at Joy
park The Pioneer Stars will play OIL
the second game of the afternoon.
At the last meeting of the league
directors Capt, Edward Stewart seemed
to be the "fall guy for the rest of the
directors Manager Pete Hansen has
recovered his smile now that he is out
of the race for the pennant, but has
one person in this world that will help
him in his endeavors to win the pen
nant
BY the way, Gardena has troubles
of her own in keeping pitchers, and
lust as the race was getting interest
ing she was thrown out of her class.
Bresino, who went to San Diego to
play the All-Star team, will be seen
in the lineup of the Dyas-Cline club
tomorrow afternoon.
Rutland of the Dolgeville team has
pitched more shut out games than
any other pitcher in the league; up
to date he has six to his credit
Slack. first baseman, and John Metz,
shortstop of the Felt Workers CLUB,
are on the hospital list, suffering from
minor injuries. Slack broke his finger
on his right hand, while Metz sustained
fractured left arm.
The Franta baseball team is out with
a def to play any club Sunday. Ring
up Boyle 7S1 and ask for Jim Lane
Johnnie Hasemier of the Ascot Ath-
letic baseball team is requested to call
me up on important business.
Jack Doyle, the Big Chief of Vernon
made the announcement last night that
Sunday would be his thirty-third year
on this green earth, and that he would
feed about twenty of his friends to a
chicken dinner at his ranch on the out
skirts of Vernon. He wants every one
to be present so that they can have
wish bone. Baron Long and Jake Grit
fin please take notice.
The Salt Lakes and the Hoegees will
play on the South Side athletic park
tomorrow. Doyle says that if the
Maiers win from the San Diego team
Sunday he will buy each member of
the club new hat. Go to 1t, boys,
and win, for Jack Doyle is a man of
his word "and never -four fiushes" on
what he says.
The grand stand at South Side Ath-
letic club has been shifted around in
the same position as the grandstand at
Chutes park, so as to give the fans

GOVERNMENTS CASE TO BE
EXPEDITED; ACT SUSTAINED

BOSTON, Dec. 4.-The certificate of
Attorney General Bonaparte, request
ing that the governments case to COM
pei the New Haven railroad company
to relinquish its holdings of stock of
the Boston e. Maine railroad be expe-
dited, was granted today by the three
Judges Of the United States circuit
court, and the contention of the at
torneys for the railroad, that the ex-
pediting act is unconstitutional, was
overruled.
The objections of the respondents in
the case were heard November II by
Judges Colt. Putnam and Lowell, the
attorney general being represented by
his assistants, Wade Ellis of Ohio and
District Attorney French, while Col. j.
H. Benton appeared for the New
Haven road.
Neither in the petition nor at the
hearing were the merits of the case
referred to, but, as counsel for the New
Haven company intimated that this
phase of the suit would be fought
through the court of last resort, it
was expected that an appeal would
be taken on the question involved.

EVANGELISM AND HOME
MISSIONS ARE DISCUSSED

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. ALONE
missions and evangelism were the
principal subjects discussed at the
morning session today of the federal
council of the Churches of Christ in
America, which is meeting in Wither-
spoon hail., in this city.
The latest report Of the secretary of
the council shows that thirty-three of
the Christian bodies in the United
States holding to historical and evan
ical Christianity are now represent
in the council, the object of which
is to bring the churches into the United
service for Christianity.
In a paper on state declarations, Rev.
DIR. o. P. Clifford of Boston, president
of the Massachusetts, Federation of
Churches, said the state federation is
the keynote Of the massive arch of
Christian cooperation now in the pro-
cess of erection. Such organizations
are both practical and necessary, he
said.
Bishop Hendrix of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, who was
elected president of the council yes
terday, presented the report of the COM
mittee on development.
The bishop said the worldwide fed
Grafton movement among Protestant
churches must be the notable keynote
of the century and of its Christian
progress.
He outlined the plan of organization
for federation and presented the fol-
lowing recommendations, which were
formulated by the committee:
That the federal council approve the
formation and development of plans
that will secure effective office and
field service in advancing the work
of the church unity.
That in addition to the equipment of
the central Office in the city of New
York the executive committee be au-
thorized to provide for district super
intendents in at least four strategic
centers of population representing diff
ferent sections of the country.

Joe Mason cleaned up $1,000 on the
victory of Brush Up, which he was
lucky enough to catch at tops. Joe is
an awfully unlucky fellow. He seldom
is able to win more than $500 day, but
1t is infrequent that he fails to win
quite a bank roll. If he was lucky he
would be rich in a short time.
Jockey Sweet, under contract to
President Tom Williams of the Pacific
Jockey club, was fined $50 by the
Judges yesterday for rough riding in
win a race for his boss with Col
White. He bumped Alma Boy and cut
him off at the first turn, and the judges
soaked him as a warning to other
would-be rough-house pilots. The fact
that he was riding for the turf boss did
not save him.
Col. Bob Northam visited Santa Ami
ia yesterday afternoon for the first
time this season and was surprised tc
find so many friends of last season
there. When he and Jack Bennett met
they joined in singing their favoritc
ditty, "And the smoke goes up the
chimney just the same" which they
rehearsed several times last season
when guests of Col. Joe Thomas.
Nose Raphael got a So gold piece In
his strong box yesterday that is raTe
coin. 1t is one of the "mintage" OF
1907 and is minus the "In God We
Trust emblem. Only a few of these
coins were turned out, and when Mosf
found it he imagined his luck hac
turned down the right lane at last.

SHOW HOW SHIPPERS MAY
SAVE BY WATER ROUTES

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-During the
course of the discussions before the
waters section of the conservative
commission today it was shown that
an, enormous saving could be made in
freight expenditures each year If the
navigable streams were properly de-
veloped
In the year 1906 the railroads carried
217, 600 coo, 900 ton miles of freight at an
average cost of n cents. II one-fifth
of the freight shipped each year be
transported by water it would result
in a saving to the producer and ship
per of about $3.50, 100000.
The main topic in connection with
waters discussed today was water sup
ply and subsidiary to this navigation
In the east and irrigation in the west
were talked OF at length.
Theoretical strength of the water
power of the country was estimated to
be about 3O,000.000 horsepower as
against 5,230.000 horsepower now in

pREP FOOTBALL GAME GEE

The game scheduled to be played this
morning between the Santa Monica
high school football team and the ST..
Vincent's preparatory eleven was called
off yesterday afternoon by the beach
boys. The reason given by the Santa
Monica lads for their action was that
on account of an injury to one of
their players the team had disbanded
for the season.
The local players were much disap-
pointed over the canceling of the game,
as they had praeticed hard for the
struggle with the team with which they
played a tie on Thanksgiving day.
