In the Senate the Harper resolution
which was considered a reflection on the
professional men in the Legislature,
though the more conservative members
of the Senate give their distinguished
associate for failing to perceive and APP
p~reciate the point, after being carefully
considered in executive session, was dis
posed of by a motion to indefinitely
postpone.
The Senate also defeated, as the
House had done, the bill which attempt
ed to cut off the surplus school funds
from such of the larger counties as have
a surplus and convert it into the treas
ury. The bill failed to pass by a vote

Besides, the people Of the whole state,
through their legislature, determine
what acts are so harmful as to be pro.

this power, in some instances, may be
delegated to a county, such delegated
authority can, at any time, be rightfully
revoked and the prohibition made equal
ly applicable everywhere. In principle,
nothing can be said in favor Of leaving
to the different counties the liquor ques'
tions, that cannot be said with equal
force in behalf Of gambling, pistol car
rying and other o~ffenses. On the con-
trary, the evil effects OF liquor selling ex'
tend beyond county lines even more in
juriously than other crimes.
While it can be said that prohibitory
laws do not absolutely prevent viola

Billy Delaney, undoubtedly the peer
or all managers of fighters, left on the
Owl last evening for home. There are
few good sportsmen left in the Frisco
fight game and Billy heads the list
this without a contradicting voice
While he has made two of the greatest
champions the world ever knew-Cor-
bett and Jeffries-he has also made the
greateset fight manager the world ever
knew-Billy Delaney. Billy is one man
Of the few connected with the fight
game who never has had to deny any
thing crooked. He never has been
mixed up In anything of the sort, and
not only has the entire confidence and
respect Of the sporting world. but he
has a conscience that does not trouble
him at night. Even the crooks in the
game take their hats off to him, be-
cause they know they can do no busi-
ness with him, and they never try it
in these late days, owing to past expe-
riences.
Delaney and Jeffries sat for several
hours yesterday at Jeff's place and
talked over old times. JEFF thinks as
much of Billy as Billy thinks of JEFF,
and that is saying a heap. It was De-
laney who outgeneraled the crooks who
might have put the kibosh on the great
est fighter the world ever knew had 1t
not been for Delaney. Tom Sharkey
can verify few of the tales Billy told
yesterday, and Sharkey is one of the
fellows who was sorely disappointed
that he did not win a championship
that he did not earn and was not en-
titled to. jeff paid a sincere tribute to
Delaney when the latter ran out Of the
loge to catch his train. jeff said:
There is one fellow in the fight game
who is not only on the square, but is
respected by every sportsman in the
world. He certainly did pull me out of
many a tight hole by his good gener-
alship when the other fellows thought
they had me in a trap
Jeems Morley was host last night TO
a bunch of the press boys who write
sports. The big feed and merry doings
came off at the Ship hotel. Jeems
thought Kaufman was such a cinch
to beat Mustain that he bet the dinners,
with wine attachments, that Al would
stop Mustain inside of ten rounds,
After the first round Jeems cut out
the bet and said that 1t was such a
cinch he would bet the aforesaid sup
per against windy" as he thought he
might be accused of being a porch
climber If he insisted on the press boys
sticking to the bet. Discounted, but
only one declined the invitation to par
take-that instance being enforced
through the pressure of business.
Baron Long cleaned up enough on the
Kaufman Mustain fight to get another
new roof. He had to take the five-spot
out of his share Of the receipts to get
the lid, however; which proves that he
is a good sport since he buys his own
clothes. The club cleaned up enough
on the fight to pay for the other new
roof-the biggest improvement made by
the club since it started. The total alb
sence of the chilly dampness that was
an uncomfortable feature of other night
fights at Vernon was notable in a most
pleasing manner. Fear that 1t would
not be completed probably kept many
fans away, but the receipts far ex-
ceeded all SUPPLEMENTARY $1,000.

REQ BIRD MAKES
RECORD SPEED
FRANKLIN SETS NEW MARK
FOR STOCK CARS
BANQUET GIVEN LOS ANGELES
PHOENIX RACING CREWS
Yesterdays Event Was First Automo-
bile Event Ever Held in Arizona
and Was Productive of
Intense Enthusiasm
TBy Associated Press.l


PHOENIX, Ariz., Nov. 11.-This was
automobile day. the biggest day at the
territorial fair, and the innovation was
hugely enjoyed by throng of about
10000
1t was the first real automobile con-
test ever held on an Arizona track. In
cidentally the track was in superb
shape and upon it two worlds records
were smashed during the afternoon. One
was done by Leon T. Shelters middle
weight racing car, REQ Bird in an ex-
hibition run, doing three miles in 1852,
and later IN a fve-mile run equaling
the record by doing mile in 80 fiat.
Twice q mile was done in 81. The car
is owned by Shelter of Los Angeles
and was driven by Harris Hanshue.
This is the same car that ran second
in last seasons races on the Ormond,
Fla, track.
The great race was to have been a
ten-mile-free for-all, with entries of all
four cars in the Los Angeles-PhoeniX
race and of the standardization car
owned by s. T. futile. But the only
starters were Hamlin with his Franklin
Greyhound, Latham with Tobasco /,
Shelters Kisselkar and Hanshue with
the REQ Bird. It is probable that the
latter was started to fill in, for 1t
stalled early in the race.
The Greyhound made magnificent
run and won the race, and is claimed
to have broken the one mile worlds
track record for stock cars, doing the
ten miles in 1874 and a single mile In
one minute fiat Other miles were made
within 1903. Fenner and Smith said
they had failed to receive repairs that
would have been essential to fast run
ming.
Fenner is now trying to work up a
desert race to Tucson, 40 miles from
Phoenix.
The flve-mile tandem motorcycle
race was won by F. A. Carr on Read
motorcycle race was won by Victor
Rodewill on Thor in 14:25A. The best
mile was done In 1881.
The ten-mile light automobile race
for cars costing from $3.50 to $4,000 was
won by Billiards. Tourist, driven by
Fremeau in 1882 beating H. P. Greer's
Mitchell car, which was beaten over
mile.
Tonight at a banquet extended by the
Maricopa Automobile association were
presented the prize cups of the victors
of the Los Angeles-P Phoenix race.
In behalf of the Arizona Republican
and the Firemen's 1'und Insurance com
pany the clubs president, George r.
Bullard, presented the two silver cups
won in the Los ADVERTISEMENTS race,
the first to Fenner of the White
Steamer and the other to Smith of the
Gilmore.
on account of the automobile contests
of the territorial fair today horse racing
was cut down to two events. The five
eighths of a mile dash was won by John

seventy-three races, winning seventy
two of them. Summary:

In the big leagues. has decided to turn
to bookmaking as a winter pastime and
will open his big store at Emeryville
in few days. He is away on hunt
ing trip now, but says that he will
start for Frisco in few days and will
put on a book. He may change his
plans and come to Los Angeles, owing
to the fact that all his baseball associ-
ates will be here, but he intends to cut
in at Emeryville for the starter
Monte Attell. brother of Abe, arrived
yesterday on the Owl and will help Able
train for his scrap with Freddie Welsh,
which will be pulled off Thanksgiving
eve at Vernon. and will get himself into
condition for his own scrap that night,
a preliminary with Mike Kutchos. 1t
will be a 15-round affair and a benefit
performance for the less famous MEM
Der of the Attell aggregation of foxy
fighters. Abe went hunting yesterday
with Harry Burt. and, consequently,
did not train any. He killed one duck,
and Harry got another, and both re-
turned to Los Angeles with the story
that they had killed the limit. They
forgot to mention the further fact that
one apiece is more than the average
limit for them. According to those who
enjoyed the sport as spectators. neither
could hit a duck with stick If the
duck was tied to post.
The latest pugilistic sensation comes
in the form of a dispatch from the east
to the effect that Willis Britt, the hu
man smokestack, has taken Marvin
Hart under his managerial wing. If
this is true, Marvellous will get a few
matches that otherwise would not be
coming his way, as Willie is past
master in the art of CAB and can talk

Hart can whip tWo-thirds of the false
alarms travelling around In heavy cloth
ing when they should be fighting light
weights.
Sammy Korper has blossomed forth
as the real thing in the line Of a betting
commissioner, but the story that he and
Jeffries have formed a combination is
erroneous. Korper is going it alone,
and is amply able to take care of his
business without being associated with
anybody Sammy says that the pre-
vailing odds on the Attell-Welsh scrap
are at even money and that there is
considerable betting on both sides.
Sammy will be doing business at Santa
Anita after Thanksgiving day.
Illusion has been shipped from Rose
mead ranch to Emeryville for a few
days of racing before Santa Anita

and Frank Flittner and will ship both
racers back to the sunny south when
the season opens.
Dolly Hayman, entry clerk at local
race meetings for several years, takes
up his official position at Santa Anita
next Monday morning. He will not be
receiving entries for a few days. but
the work of getting ready for opening
day makes it necessary for him to get
busy now. Dolly yields to no racing
official in popularity with horsemen,
and the public and nobody regrets that
he is to be back in his regular position.
The contrary is true.

to Los Angeles in a few days with his
