GETTING READY FOR HARD
RACE TO VENICE
FORM OF THE ENTRANTS DE-
cIDEDLY INDEFINITE
Interest in Event Increased by Lack
of Knowledge as to Who viii Win,
and Many Entertain Ideas of
AnnexIng the Honors

The final arrangements for the Los
Angeles to-Venice long-distance run
ming race, which is to be held under the
auspices of the Los Angeles Athletic
club Saturday afternoon, August 29,
will be made this week. BY next Sat
urday the several officials of the race
will have been chosen and a general
idea may be gained as to who will be
who in the race, as the boys get down
to their hard training. AT present 1t
looks as though it might be anybody S
race, as many of those entered are IN
fairly good condition and nobody seems
to be familiar with the running abili-
ties of the other fellow. 10 doubt
there will be favorites in the race, al
though it is rather early to do any
picking just now. There are several
members of the club who are con-
sidered good runners and who have not
entered the list of those who Will run
to Venice 1t is probable that they are
holding off until the last day, so as to
keep an eye out for possible dark
horses or more probable winners.
Each man entered in the race is in
tent upon winning the beautiful silver
cup which is offered by The Herald as
first prize in the race. The cup VIII
be placed upon exhibition in the show
windows of the Dyas-Cllne sporting
goods house for a few days and those
who desire may see it there. In add1-
ton to The Herald cup, which must
be won three times by a runner before
it becomes his personal property, there
will be a second prize, consisting of
beautiful signet ring set with dla-
monds, which is offered by the Los
Angeles Athletic club. A third prize
is offered by the Dyas-Cline sporting
goods house, and consists of an order
on the w. H. Hoegee sporting goods
house for So worth of athletic goods,
the prize being offered by the w. H.
Hoegee company. The fifth prize is
offered by the Tufts-Lyons company,
and consists of a pearl-handled razor.
Assistant Secretary Henderson of the
club yesterday drew UP a formal entry
sheet and all members who have sig
nifled their intention of entering the
race are requested to sign the blank al
the earliest possible moment. Entries
to the race will close Wednesday aft
ernoon, August &c, to allow the Of
ficials of the race time to prepare
quarters at the annex at Venice for O
certain number of runners and also to
get out some programs showing the
names of the runners and the num-
bers they will wear during the race.
AS no word has been received as ye'
from Capt. Isaacs as to his not beine
able to run in the race, it is believef
among the boys that he will enter. jim
Routzahn will return from Cataline
island today and 1t is expected that he
will start to train for the race to-
morrow. Derby is regarded as one Of
the probable winners Of the race. He
made such a good showing while train
ing for the four-oar crew last year that
many of the boys pick him from among
a large number of the entries as the
one best bet. He is lean and is SAID
to possess a long stride, which he
keeps up well.

The Angels finished the series with
Portland yesterday in the same manner
that they began it last Tuesday-with
victory. Judge Nagle scored his sec
ond victory of the series, batted at 1000
and scored one of the runs. Nagle and
Graney were the opposing slabsters,
and Judge put it all over Graney. He
was so stingy with hits that the Beav-
ers succeeded in getting only two up
to the eighth and made only six dur
ing the game. However, Graney al
lowed only six hits, but he permitted
the Angels to bunch them on him and
make runs without hits.
Oakes is the only Angel charged with
misplay in the game and he, Bernard,
Hogan and Nagle were the only ones
of the champion band that connected
safely with Graney's curves. Five err
rors are charged to the Beavers. Ber-
nard was the second star of the Angel
camp, batting at .667 and scoring two
of the five runs. Cap Dillon scored
once, although he failed to get a hit
in three trys. But, the credit for the
victory goes to Nagle exclusively, not
only for his great twirling but as we'll
for his timely swatting and success in
negotiating the cushions.
This was the final game of the series
and makes the series stand four to two
in favor of the Angels. This proves
that Hen Berry made a good job of it

he took on Mike Kutchos for six lively

shadow boxing for three rounds and
then took on Sam Coulter for six

is in good condition now, sufficient to
guarantee that he will be fit to put up
the best fight that is in him when he
fa ees Young Otto next Friday night.
After the workout he weighed before
the crowd and tipped the beam at 1S1

About $500 fans sat in the amphi-
theater at Venice during the workout
of Kid Webster. He did four three
minute rounds at the punching bag,
skipping the rope and in shadow box

six rounds, Jimmy Austin for three
rounds and ended up with three lively
sessions with Kid Adams. Webster
can be depended upon to train faith

he will be in better condition Friday
night than ever before. He expects to
stop Snailham long before the limit.

series. beginning Tuesday afternoon.
Danny Longs bunch is stronger and
better than ever and is playing good
game although the team is holding
down third place, just where 1T figures
on form of the season. Portland goes
to Oakland, and while the Cellar
champs are in last hole with a dull
thud they seem to have some sort OF
sign on the McCredie outfit and usually
beat that aggregation. The Angels are
in a. nice lead for beginning another
northern trip and should increase that
lead materially during the week. They
will leave on their last northern trip
of the season one week from today ana
will be gone a month, after which they
will return home for the final five
weeks play of the season. At this
time, all things considered, it looks like
a cinch for the Angels to knock the
pennant plum again.

SO fast that he could avoid being
knocked out.
Welsh is a favorite with local fans
and would have some backing to de-
feat the Dane at twenty-five rounds,
but It is doubtful if forty-hve-round1
fight between them would be as good
drawing card as a shorter route.
Nelson always shows best when going
a distance, because he does not fight
to win on points. Every fight he goes
into is a finish affair with him and he
goes in to take all the hard knocks
offered as the price for getting
chance at stopping his opponent. If
Nelson does not retire after his fight
with Cans, he probably will be matched
with Welsh sooner or later Los An

match than would San Francisco, ow-
