WRESTLE FOR
CHAMPIONSHIP
BOWDEN AND ISAACS READY
FOR THEIR BOUT
DATED FOR SATURDAY NIGHT AT
L. A. A. c. ANNEX
Winner Gets Title of Amateur Middle
weight Champion of Southern Cali
fornia-Boxing Bouts Also on
the Schedule

The thousands of people who are ex-
pected to Journey to Venice next Satur-
day to witness the excellent athletic
carnival that is being arranged under
the auspices of the Los Angeles Ath-
letic club may have the rare oppor-
tunity of witnessing the longest wrest-
ling bout that ever was pulled OH IN
Southern California, as the bout be-
tween Frank Bowden of the Olympic
club of San Francisco and George
Isaacs of the Los Angeles Athletic CLUB
for the title of amateur middleWe1ght
champion wrestler Of Southern Califor-
MIA, which the latter now holds, Will
be restricted by no time limit. Al
though the bout will be pulled off under
the rules of the A. A. u, the decision
will be given on two out of three falls.
The men will be allowed to wrestle all
night, If necessary, providing neither
has scored the decisive fall. This novel
plan will add much more zest to the
whole affair and tend to lengthen the
bout, in addition to testing the staying
qualities of each contestant.
Charlie Eyton, secretary of the Los
Angeles Athletic club, has consented to
referee the bout, and In doing so has
dispelled any anxiety that may have
arisen in the minds of the participants
as to the qualifications of the referee.
Isaacs probably will wind up ms tram
ing today, and is reported to be in the
best of condition. Most of his work
has been with Physical Instructor AL
Treloar who is an expert wrestler.
Bowden has done most of his training
at Sierra Madre, where he has been
working out with many good local men,
and the general report of those who
have seen him in his workouts is to the
effect that Isaacs has in him worthy
opDOnent.
The wrestling match will be proceed
ed bv a four-round boxing contest be-
tween John Hugo and Charles Bosche
of the Los Angeles Athletic club. AL
though Hugo has the reputation of be-
ing the 125-pound amateur champion
of Southern California, Bosche seems
to be the favorite. The latter has been
working hard for the bout and has the
advantage of the superior teaching of
Boxing Instructor Dewitt c. Van Court
of the Los Angeles Athletic club, and
also has spared almost daily with
Samuel Coulter, amateur lightweight
champion boxer of Southern California,
who also is a member of the club.
Hugo will be seconded on the night
of the bout by his father and Ivan
Kahn, the latter a popular and clever
amateur boxer of Los Angeles Bosche
has not yet announced whom his sec
onds will be, but 1t is presumed that
thew will be chosen from among the
club members or left to Boxing In
structor Van Court.
MANY other interesting sporting
events will be arranged by Assistant
Secretary Henderson, who is arrang-
ing the program, and it is probable
that the crowds will witness at least
a little bit of what the members of the
Los Angeles Athletic club are capable
of producing. Following this excellent
athletic carnival, which will be pulled
off in the midway at Venice, the club

NEW COMET DISCOVERED
AT YERKES OBSERVATORY

LAKE GENEVA, Wis, Sept. 2.-Di-
rector Edwin B. Frost of Yerkes OBJ
servatory tonight announced the dis
covery of a new comet through photo
graphic observations made by Prof. d.
w. Morehouse of Drake university OF
Des Moines. The presence of the comet
was revealed today upon development
of three Photographic plates exposed
in three cameras last night. 1t is
clearly defined and has a tail several
degrees long and was found in the
constellation Camelopardus, remaining
above the horizon throughout the night.
It's position was three hours and
twenty minutes of right ascension and
sixty-six degrees north declination.
The visual brightness, Prof. More
house says, could not be stated until
after further observation had been
made, but it will probably be visible
through an opera glass. The new
comet, he said, had no connection with
Halley's comet. Prof. Morehouse has
been engaged during the summer in
graduate work at Yerkes observatory
in astronomical photography under di-
rection of Prof. Barnard

to open the meeting at Santa Anita
several days earlier than last season,
probably month or more earlier, anu
as the stake book must be issued at
once 1t will be necessary for the dfrec-
tors to make decision regarding the
number and value of the stakes with
out delay. .
While only probabilities can be dis
cussed in advance of actual inforina-
ton regarding the changes made 1t
looks reasonably certain that Baldwin
has won his fight against Col Ham,
ilton and in all probability Joe Murphy
has been selected as his successor.
Murphy is the most prominent can
.didate for the appointment and Is the
best man available for the position at
this time, unless one of the metropoli-
tan race track judges has been pre-
vailed upon to come to the coast for
the meeting.
1t hardly is probable that DR.. Gard
ner has been superseded in his office
as manager, although Baldwin also mas
been inclined to oppose his reappo.nt-
ment. DR.. Gardner's personal popular
ity with horsemen and racing officials
everywhere makes him more valuable
in that position than the average man
available for the appointment as his
successor.
Ed Cole also is expected to be among
InOSe absent next StdoDll, Ool
friendship of Holland, the man OF
money in the association, may be suf-
ffcient to enable Cole to retain his po-
sition, although this influence alone Is
able to turn this trick.
President Tom Williams will control
the appointment of the starters and Il
he has decided to continue the arrange
ment whereby Hoffman and Dwyer are
to be retained, as in former seasons,
the local association will accept the
situation and permit the pair to serve.
although Hoffman is decidedly unpop-
ular with horsemen, and if he should
be let out there would be little or no
mourning in those ranks.
The reticence of the directors may
keep the public in ignorance of the
changes made until after the directors
meeting, but it seems reasonably GER
tain now that a new presiding judge
will be on duty next November and
there is an excellent probability that
a new Judiciary will be appointed all
the way round. 1t also is most prob
able that the number and value of the
stakes will be increased and rumor hts
1t that the overnight purses also will
be raised to a uniform scale of 5000
each.

RACING BOARD
MAKES CHANGES
DIRECTORS MEET INFORMALLY Y
IN NEW YORK
CALL MEETING IN LOS ANGELES
FOR SEPTEMBER IA
Or. J. S. Gardner TeIegraphs from
East That Action of Stockholders
viii Not Be Made Public
Until That Time
BY JAY DAVIDSON

Responding to a telegraphic query
regarding the results of the meeting
in New York of four of the directors of
the Los Angeles Racing association,
held Tuesday, DIR. j. S. Gardner, man
ager of the Santa Anita race track,
says that a meeting of the direct 'rs
will be held in Los Angeles one week
Nfrom next Monday, in all probability,
and that at that meeting the directors
will confirm officially the changes
agreed upon in the official lineup at
the winter meeting at the Arcadia
track.
This telegram can be construed only
in one way, in the absence of absolute
evidence to the contrary, and that ls
to the effect that changes will be nado
in the, official family for next season.
Information to the effect that Barney
Schreiber, George Rose, j. l.. Holland
and DR.. Gardner had held an informal
and unofficial meeting Tuesday at the
Astor house in New York to discuss
probable chances, increase in stake Of
ferings and other matters to be acted
upon at the directors meeting To be
held in Los Angeles at later date,
came in roundabout way and DR..
Gardner was asked by telegraph 10
supply whatever information that
could be given out.
His reply indicates that changes were
agreed upon, but that they do not care
to make public the effect of these
changes or supply the names of those
affected until their action is given the
stamp of official approval which cam
not be had until the directors meet
here September IA However, Pose,
Schreiber Holland and Gardner con-
troll the majority stock of the corpor-
alton and whatever they have agreed
upon in the matter of changes and APP
pointments really is official and will
be made SO when the directors meet,
thus making the directors meeting a
mere formality in officially declari1g
vacancies and approving appointments
of successors to the officials removed
or who have resigned.
This action was forecast in these
columns last June, when the news
leaked out that Col. A. w. Hamilton
would not be reappointed as presiding
judge. Rose came to Los Angeles 70
consult with Lucky Baldwin ana im-
mediately went east, saying that Ne
would meet Schneider, Holland and
Gardner in New York later in the sea-
son and they would talk over probable
changes.
1t has been evident for a, long time
that Col. Hamilton would not be re-
appointed as presiding judge. but when
asked about this matter Rose said that
he could make no positive statement
until he had consulted With the 1trer
directors, but added that in the event
Col. Hamilton was not reappointed he
would be given some other official DO
sition, probably that OF steward.
The telegram from DR.. Gardner in
dicates that he and the other directors
will come to Los Angeles in q few
days, as the meeting to be held Septem-
ber IA was not expected to be held
until in October. However, it probably
Is true that the directors have decided

Baseball managers are laying wires
every day for eastern leaguers, and
already several managers have on the
string some of the best twirlers and
backstops in both the eastern circuits
and California leagues. l.. A. Mu-
sante, formerl' of the Dyas-Clines and
now with the Hamburger club, is
thinking of entering one of the fastest
clubs in the California Winter league,
which holds it's meeting at the Hoegee
sporting goods store Friday afternoon.
Among the eastern cracks that Mu-
sante will have is Pitcher Arellanes of
the Boston Americans; Danny Shay or
the outlaw league, Pat Phillips of the
Los Angeles club, Bernard, center field
er of the same team; Rowell, first base
man of the old Aihambra club and
Bill Lane, pitcher and catcher, former
Iy of st, Vincent's. Manager Musante
stated last night that all of his players
would be employed In the Hamburger
department store during the winter
months arI play ball every Sunday.
Secretary George M. Ward of the
California Simmer league stated yes
terday that he had received several
anpIications from different out of town
managers in regard to joining the new
california Winter league, which begins
playing the first of October Ward is
pleased with the outlook for winter
league with several of the classiest
teams in the south.
The Giants, who have been defeating
some of the best teams in the semi
professional ranks of this city, accept
the challenge to play a so-called pro-
fessional club October 4 for a side bet
Of 500. The manager of the Giants
wants 1t understood that they will not
have any ''ringers" on their lineup and
that the game must be played onethe
Jov mark diamond, or there will be
nothing doing. The money of the Gil
ants win be placed in the hands of the
baseball editor Of The Herald five days
in advance, as a guarantee of good
faith.

Manager George M. Ward of the
Edison team stated yesterday that
Harry Lelande had consented to act
as president of the newly organized
California Winter league and that Red
Perkins would be selected as recording
secretary of the league. Ward also
stated that Lawrence Fernandez, at
the last meeting of the league officials,
was appointed regular indicator man
of the California Summer league in
the place OF Boyle, who has been UNI

The Dyas-Clines baseball team has

The members of the City and Valley
leagues are requested to be more
prompt in sending in their lineups for
publication in the Friday and Sunday
Herald.

There is talk OF the State league en-
tering organized ball next year. If
this occurs 1t will have to be with the
consent of the Pacific Coast league di-
rectors, which claims most of the terri
tory now claimed by the former. 1t
will be recalled that cities like Sacra-
mento, Stockton and San Jose were
awarded to the senior organization
year or so ago and that the Northern
league now is holding them in out
lawry. 1t was stated in Los Angeles
yesterday that the Pacific Coast league
would offer no objection to the league
being admitted as class G or D, al
though allowing it to retain it's pres
ent territory, even Sacramento. 1t
would be possible that the directors
would so arrange the schedule that it
would not be in conflict with the Pa
cific Coast league games. If the
Northern league is made a regular"
it would mean that the salary list
would be reduced considerably.

in this city last night at 524 South
Spring street, with the following clubs:
Hollywood, San Gabriel, Huntington
Park and Redondo. 1t was decided to
play out series of sixteen weeks.
Donald of the Hollywood club was
chosen secretary and treasurer. The
entry fee was placed at $15, first club
to receive $50, second club 500 and the
third club $40.
There will be another meeting at the
same place to complete arrangements
in drafting a schedule and bylaws. The
White City club made application to
1oin, as did the Belvidere team, but as
the Belvidere team had mostly semi
professionals on their lineup it was de-
cided to drop them out. and the White
CITY club was dropped for the sole rea-
son that the other club managers did
not feel like making the long jump to
Santa Anita.
