Nobody connected with the turf en-
joys the situation brought about by the
vote in New York. 1t means that rae
ing on the metropolitan circuit is
doomed as long as Hughes Is in the
executive chair in New York, and that
despite the game intentions of Phil
Dwyer and others connected with the
sport of kings In the east Hughes will
be the boss, and that racing cannot be
conducted in the Empire State with
the privileges that usually attach TO
the sport and which make racing a
sport that attracts crowds by the thou
sands. With the sport reduced to that
plane upon which all races must be
run for the sake of the sport, the gen
eral public will stay away. Men who
have been paying $4,000 and up to
$4,000 for horses like DeMund, Horace
E., Montgomery, Uncle, Colin, Rose
ben and others, will cut out such IN
vestmentS and seek other sources Oh
revenue. Yet, with the situation III
New York as critical as the election
returns indicate, horsemen will con
tinue to hope and will keep on buying
racers at fancy prices because Calitor-
mia is still on the map. This means
only one thing-that California this
minute is the only place in the world
were thoroughbreds are at par value.
All the good horses that now are in
training will be shipped to the coast
for the winter campaign, and none will
be reserved for the spring and summer
metropolitan campaign in New YORK;
as formerly. The result of the election
will mean that racing on the coast next
winter will be of a higher class than
ever before, and that horses will be
seen in action here during the winter
that never would have left winter
quarters had the result of the election
been different. Horses that a year ago
were worth $4,000, today are worth
about $4,000, and this value is based
upon the probabilities of the horse Win
ming one or more stakes on the coast.
In former days the value of horse
was reckoned upon the probabilities of
his winning. stakes down east. If he
was we'll nominated he would bring
decent price-a nearly unheard of price.
Now he is worth what he will be valued
as a buggy horse, plus what he can
win on the coast in stakes during the
winter season. Horses like DeMund,
that cost $4,000, and Horace f., that
cost $4,000, would bring less than 90
per cent of that amount today. because
their sphere of usefulness is limited to
the coast. This means that California
is the only place in the world today
where thoroughbreds can be raced at
their par value, because only in Cali
fornia are stakes offered of sufficient
value to make it worth while to race
valuable horses. For this reason the
best class of racers will be seen on the
coast during the winter. Their value is
reckoned on their earning abilities, and
in figuring this value the owner must
think only of California-not of New
York. California succeeds to the at
Los Angeles herald., 1908-11-05

tractiveness that the metropolitan
tracks formerly held for horsemen, and
the value of horseflesh has deprecated
accordingly. Stakes that in the east
were worth $4,000 and $20600 to the
winner now are worth $4,000 to $4,000,
and the depreciation in value of aorses
has scaled accordingly. Colin is =, orth
$4,000 at least less than when the
Hart-Agnew bill was passed. Horses
that were wintered in luxury a year
ago must get out and earn their oats.
They cannot earn any 100000 oats ON
the coast Hence the depreciation in
value. 1t is a common sense calcula-
ton Yet the 1000 horse of yesterday
will race next winter at Santa Anita In
the cheap stakes that today are the
high value affairs.
Dave Lewis is a, game sport and
good loser. Being one of the boys, ne
always is willing to take a chance, and
he took one and lost. Yet Dave did not
cry. He was as happy last night as
any of them, and he did not bet on a
horse race, either. He lost his money
and stood the financial test just Ike
any other good sport.
Roy Offutt and Early Wright, who
make up the totals of the firm OIL
Wright & Offut, have some tolerably
good ideas regarding the results OF
stake races during the winter at Santa
Anita They are among the most lib
eral nominators for the coming meet
ing, and if Roy does not get back some
of that $4,000 that he dropped at Seat
tie it will be funny indeed. The bunch
will string with Roy if they can figure
him before the race is run.
Jockey Kent is galloping horses at
Santa Anita every morning for whom
1t does not matter. Kent is one of the
good boys who will be seen in the sad
die during the winter meeting, and he
will ride free lance, so the judges will
have plenty of opportunity to look over
his performances. BY the way, with
it is now, the judges will not be the
whole show in the future. There are
others. Any white man has a square
deal coming to him now on the race
track, and the fear of the judges will
not be as great as it once was. The
Judges must be as decent and square
as the Jockeys and owners. 1t will be
no one-sided matter from now on
thank goodness.
Jockeys and horsemen have been
ruled off and penaliZed at local race
meetings like they were a bunch of
white slaves. in the past. The judges
have done about as they pleased. But
with a non-partisan press and most
Indifferent public, the judges will rank
no higher in future than any other
white man. IT is a notorious fact that
Jockeys, owners and trainers have been
subjected to indignities and penalties
on the turf in the past that the sub
tects of Gar Nick would not stand for

else than in California, the judges IN
future will look like any other ordlh-
ary citizens. 1t will be case not OF
a survival of the fttest, but case OF
a fair trial and d square deal rom
Williams is not the supreme court OF
California any more, and Judge Ham
ilton may be astounded by having some
of his remarkable rulings appealed
from. The racing game usually is
about as square on the ground as it is
in the judges stand, and since Calitor-
mia is to be the only place in future
where racing can be conducted along
the old-tme lines, it behooves even
such czars (of former days. as Tom
Williams to have some respect for the
property rights and character of those
who race under them. The changed
conditions brought about by the cleo
ton in New York are apt to make
some folks foolish, but the best thing
they can do is to sit still and listen to
the rumble.
VIII Mehaffey, young business man
of promise and a highly respected cfti-
zen of Los Angeles, especially in the
circles where he moved, died Monday
of that dread disease, the white plague,
and was buried yesterday. Mehatfey
was a native of Missouri and a capable
young business man who had the entire
confidence of those with whom he aSso-
ciated He retired to Long Beach a
few months ago and later went to 81
ezra Madre, but no relief was apparent
in these changes, and he slowly wasted
away. 1t was my pleasure to know
him in early boyhood, and since, and
any tribute that might be paid him
would be wholly deserved. A widow
and a son survive him, and the funeral
was conducted from the residence OF
his parents on East TWenty-fourth
street yesterday afternoon
Advices from New York are that
Jack Bennett and wife, Jimmy Nc
Iaughlin, James Villepigue and wife,
Charlie Smith, Ed Cole and wife and
several others who will make up a
praty of New York tourists, mostly
identified with the racing game will
leave the metropolis for Los Angeles
the night of November TO- Jimmy
Rowe, who trains for the James r.
Keene stable, probably will accompany
them, although he has not definitely
decided whether he will winter on the
coast. Meantime many other New
York horsemen will head for the coast
within the next fortnight.
r. L. Madison, the littlest little fell
low in town, proudly answers TO the
call of pap nowadays; Ihe llttll
fellow seems fully capable of bearing
UP under the burden, and probably vii

appears at the pay window of a Foca

He cannot understand why he does moi

WINNER OF DAY AND NIGHT
RACE RETURNS TO FRISCO
Murray Paige, Who Drove the Loco
mobile to Victory, Stayed at Wheel
of Car Twenty-one Out of the
TWenty=four Hours

Murray Paige, who drove such a fine
race with the Locomobile at Ascot
park a few days ago, left for San
Francisco last evening on the Owl. He
came down especially to drive for Mr..
Leavitt and the latter's choice was
proved good by the winning of the
$1,000 diamond trophy.
The car was not let out to its great
est speed at any time, and as Paige
was at the wheel for twenty-one out
of the twenty-four hours the credit
OF the victory should be given him.
He always regained whatever lead
the other cars obtained while the Lo-
comobile was taking on oil and fuel and
then held it with just a safe margin.
By driving so consistently he always
had his car in the prime of condition,
and when the finishing time came
the big roadster was running as nicely
as when it went on the track. The
only stops that were made by Paige
were for fuel, oil or change of tires.

PREPARATIONS MADE
FOR PHOENIX RACE
WHITE STEAMER TO HAVE TWO
CREWS
Latham, Hanshue and Bigelow vii
Send Tobasco Through, While
EImore Will Be Handled by
Smith, Rose and Dake

Cars and crews are in trim for the
long road automobile race that VIII
start for Phoenix Saturday at mid
night, and each team that will COM
pete is confident that victory will be
theirs.
Neither the LocomoOile nor Franklin
would enter. as the twenty -four-hour
race consumed so much time that 1t
was thought inadvIsable at both ageh-
cies to make the Phoenix run.
The Kissel Kar, the White and the
Fillmore will leave Sunday-morning at
intervals of one hour. The lrst car
will leave the Hollenbeck at midnight
and the others in turn as Will be de-
termined later. 49,.
This morning at O'Clock the lhree
men who have entered cars, Leon L.
Shelter, F. c. Fenner and A. j. Smith,
will meet with Jonathan c. Mitchell
at the latters hotel and arrange the
details of the start
Another cup has been offered and Will
go to the car arriving in Phoenix sec
ond. 1t has been given by the Fire
mans Fund Insurance company.
None of the drivers will attempt to
stay at the wheel all of the distance,
and in the case of the White Steamer
there will be two crews. Captain H.
D. Ryus and A. Forbes, who drove a
winning race to North Baldy, will
drive the car to Mecca, where they
will turn it over to f. c. Fenner and
George Adair. On the second team
will fall the strenuous work, as they
will have the desert work to do, and
the long. dreary stretch between
Mecca and Ehrenberg is where the
mettle of the men and the cars VIII
be tried to the utmost. In one place
on the road is a sandy hill where cars
frequently have to be pulled down
grade by team.
Across the desert there are many
sandy washes that the cars will have
to plunge into on one side and labor
iously climb out on the other, doing
all of the work in the low gear. One
hundred miles of the road is over a
territory where there is not human
habitation and no excuse for one. Only
two places in that distance have any
water supply, and all that the cars
and men use between the two places
will have to be carried by them.
A. ]. Smith has selected George
Dake to assist him from Mecca to
Phoenix, while from Los Angeles tc
Mecca, d. 3. Rose will be at the
wheel for a part of the time, at least
Shelters crew will be Bert Latham
and Roy Hanshue to Mecca, where they
will be Joined by G. II. Bigelow, who
will be pilot and general manager un-
til the river is reached at, Ehrenberg
Bigelow has had a great deal of des-
ert experience with a motor car and is
counted on to cover many of the diff
ficulties that usually are found insur-
mountable by the novice in that class
of work.

CLASSY CAR IS THE
NEW KISSEL SIX
Owner Drives New Roadster to His
Home in Santa Maria-car Shows
Speed of sixty-fiVe Miles
Per Hour

This morning at daylight Dean Nc
Laughlin left for Santa Maria in the
first six-cylinder Kissel Kar that came
to the coast.
The car is a very classy roadster
type, done in gray with black tenders
and a huge copper gasoline tank be-
hind the seats. The body design was
made according to orders from Mr.
Mclaughlin and reflects credit both on
the designer and the factory where
the ideas were carried out.
While in town the owner of the six
placed an order for a four-cylinder Kis-
sci forty in the touring type, which
will be shipped soon from the fac
tory.
Mr.. Mclaughlin expects to arrive in
Santa Maria tonight by taking 1t easy.
The car will do IS miles an hour
easily where the roads permit, but it
will be impossible to begin to use the
speed on account of the large per-
centage of miserable roads between
Los Angeles and Santa Maria.

POLY JUNIOR LEAGUE

The Majestic and the Cubs played
out their third series on the Praeger
tract yesterday, the Ma1estlcs winning
nv the score of 5 to 2. Two OF the pest
tTvirlers that Coach Brewer has on his
staff opposed each other are George
Carlisle and Brooks Tompkins and al
though Tompkins lost the game ana at

the best pitcher of the two and struck
ol1t sixteen men, while Carlisle famed
seven. The Cubs played a poor game
and many errors were chalked up to
them. The feature of the game was the
playing of Shortstop Terry, who played
in big league form, getting seventeen
chances and accepting all. Plant, third
baseman for the Majestics made line
running catch behind third base, run
over several "chicks" that were
scratching near where he caught the
bali. Harlowe, who played short for
the winners, got a two-base hit and
ee-bagger out of four times at bat.
Coach Brewer who umpired the game
gave his decisions fairly and not one
kick was registered throughout the
entire game. In the pitching depart
ment. counting the three games played,
Ferry leads with thirty-seven strike
outs. Tompkins is second on the list
with thirty-three strikeouts to his
credit, while ShaubeL has one more to
his credit, and Carlisle is. next with
seventeen and Sebastian is low man

More than 200 members of the Los
Angeles Athletic club enjoyed an elab-
crate moving picture show Tuesday
night, the picture being thrown upon
a screen which had been placed upon
the building opposite the club on Spring
street. The spacious parlors of the
Athletic club were packed to the doors
with members and the lights were
turned out so that the boys could en-
joy the pictures. In addition to the lat
est returns of the election which were
given the club from a private telegraph
wire which had been put in, many pic
lures of the best handball players of
the club were shown, among them be-
ing w. f. Henderson, John Nest, M.
A. Copps, Pete Horsch and T. J. Witt.
Spring street in front of the club was
packed with thousands of people, who
proved with occasional cheers and
handclappings that they thoroughly en-
joyed the clubs entertainment one
picture particularly that was thrown
upon the screen caused the members to
cheer Yociferously. 1t showed Hender-
son and Nest, two popular men of the
club, stripped for action. An introduc-
tory line which was shown with the
picture informed the crowd that the
boys were Bryan and Taft when they
were young"

still unfinished, and the chances are
that it will not be completed until
sometime around Thanksgiving, as
Jack Bradner yesterday left for San

The directors of the Suburban league
held an interesting session in the Curry
building last night, at which several
matters of of Importance were dis
cussed. The first matter to come be-
fore the league was the protest be-
tween Rendondo and San Gabriel

briel played J. Dear and his brother,
Parker on his lineup, which was con-
trary to the rules of the league. After
several minutes of discussion, Manager

made a motion, which was carried, to
allow Verdugo to revise his list. He
so arranged his players list that, with
the permission of the board, he will be
allowed to carry fourteen players
