Several months ago Miss Lillian AL
bertson left that organization to seek
laurelS on the Great White Way. She
knew that she could not hope to re-
ceive the salary in New York that was
paid her here, but the lure of Broadway
outWe1ghed the lure of dollars. She Is
now playing at the Astor theater In
Paid in Full'' and she is sacrificing
exactly $50 week for the privilege of
a New York engagement.
Following her departure the Belasco
tried several leading women, none of
whom, however, was altogether salts
factory. Finally John Blackwood went
east to see IL he could do for himself
what the agents had failed to 90 for
him. He met and talked with num-
ber of woman players who he thought
would prove satisfactory, but the ones
he wanted most refused to listen to a
coast engagement. Salary was no OBJ
ject There was another new leading
woman, but not for long.
Ultimately Miss Alice Treat Hunt
came to the Belasco. Miss Hunt, SEEM
ingly, has escaped the ravages of the
Broadway lure. The other day she
confided to me the statement that she
didn't like New York. Now, outside of
the theatrical profession there are
many persons who will agree with her
in this opinion, but within the profess
sion such an admission is rank heresy
for New York and Broadway appear
ance are the clay idols before whom
the devotees of the modern Thespis
pay their obeisance.
However, all this is beside the ques-
tion. For the first time in four years
Manager Morosco soon will have to
look about him for new leading
woman. Probably he will find it neces-
sary to go east in his search. Few
stock companies the country over pre-
sent plays so widely divergent in
character as does the Burbank. and
consequently Mr.. Morosco's task will
be doubly difficult. His leading woman
must be able, for instance. to play an
emotional role one week and rollick-
ing soubrette the next. She must be

The stage carpenters and scene
painters at the Grand opera house
have been the hardest worked men in
town during the past week. "a Fight
mig Chance" which goes on at The
Grand at the matinene performance to-
day, has no fewer than fourteen
scenes. Moreover much of the scenery
is what is known technically as "prac-
tical." In one scene Florence Barker
and Lule Warrenton make a climb of
something over twenty feet on a lad

with every indication of appreciative

Laughter was almost continuous
throughout the presentation of the

where the actors in the wings laughed
most the house laughed least. How
ever, there were laughs enough to go
round and the production must be ac-
counted a successful experiment.

grown and flourished until it would
have become a serious menace to the

MORE ENTRIES IN
FOR THE MARATHON
Long List of Well Known Runners to
start in Big Athletic Event
of New Years
Day

Although time for the Marathon race
is now only a few days distant, new
entries for the contest continue to
come in.
These are mostly from men who
have contemplated entering for some
time and consequently have been In
training during the last few weeks. -.
Judging by the long list of well
known runners who will compete or
New Years day, it can readily be seer
that the coming event will be a high
class athletic test, and no man who
steps in without a previous course Of
hard training can expect to stand any
chance with the experienced and well
conditioned athletes who will be out
for a coast record at the least.
Walter Stanley, the San Francisco
walking champion, who holds the rec
ord between San Francisco and Los
Angeles, is being backed by many peo-
pie from his native city as having a
sure thing Of the race.

and several other trainers and owners
caught the time from one to two-fifths
of a second faster.
Lady Irma Breaks Record
Lady Irma, unknown to the turf
world on the coast until last week,
gets credit for breaking the other world
record that was shattered yesterday.
She is so sensationally fast that many
took flyers on her chances when the
boolxies made Jane Swift to favor
lite and placed and 5 to L against
Lady. She hoped into the lead i'm
mediately after the start and was half
a length to the good at the quarter
1t was three lengths at the half, five
lengths at the home stretch turn and
seven lengths at the wire, running
easily and capable of doing half a
second faster time. Hazelthorpe out
gained Jane Swift in the last eighth
and placed ahead of Jane by half a
length. About all that Jockey e. Mar
tin had to do was to sit still In the
saddle and hold her head up. She
was not rated, and the 81 pounds on
her back was nothing more than
enough to steady her. Although show
ing a disposition to quit at more than
five furlongs heretofore she could have
gone on and won at six furlongs, and
possibly farther, as she was running
like a, well oiled machine ana SuoWSu
no signs of firing. Everything behind
her was dizzy drunk.
Enfield surprised everybody but Jim
Butte by capturing the first race un-
backed at to 1. He broke in front
and never showed the slightest idea Of
finishing anywhere else Steel, at 20
and 30 to 1. placed, and Anderson
showed. Joe Gaitens, the favorite, and
Roy T., both of which figured to beat
all the others, finished in the ruck.
Mary r. had her usual hard luck In
the second race and quit after going
six furlongs, allowing Pal to pass
her in the last sixteenth and win easily
for Red Walker. Lord of the Forest
showed. Mary and Milpitas killed
themselves off out in front, Milpitas re-
firing to last place, while Mary stuck
long enough to run second.
Lord Stanhope outclassed his field
in the fourth, and after running sec
ond to the last eighth he pulled away
and won going away by three lengths:
Niblick finished half a length ahead or
Skye which showed.
King of the Mist went to the 'front.'
at the start in the fifth race and, con-
trary to expectations, stuck for the
mile and three-sixteenths, winning by
three lengths from First Peep, which
beat Joe Coyne half length for the
place.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-12-29

Chapultepec was to 3 favorite
over King James, being backed to that
odds from 1 to 2, the wise horsemen
and bettors figuring the Brandt colt
as a cinch. At the start Calves showed
his moot in front for brief flash, but
Chapultepec and King James darted
out of the bunch in hurry, and at
the quarter were running, one, two,
Chapultepec being two lengths in
front. This margin of advantage was
maintained all the way to the stretch
and in the run home, Powers taking
a firm hold on the reins after getting
out so far in front and forcing Chapul-
tepec to breeze easily to the wire. At
the imaginary line Chapultepec was
nearly two lengths in front, running
easily, with King James second and
running under the whip. Hasty Agnes
managed to get third money. Chapul-
tepec was ridden by V. Powers and
carried 112 pounds, while King James
was ridden by Schilling and carried
1T pounds
1t is a bit of romance that attaches
to the performance of Chapultepec. He
formerly was owned by Burlew d
O'Neil and always has been considered
q high class colt. In his two years of
racing he has defeated nearly all the
good horses of the day with the ex-
ception of Colin, Uncle and Ballot.
However, despite his good showing
during the summer, his former owners
were planning to take him to France
to send him over the jumps Herman
Brandt, one Of the shrewdest horsemen
in the country, objected and made an
offer of purchase, which was accepted.
He was twice first and as many times
& ird in the B. & o. colors, winning
S1O320 for the stable. Brandt brought
him to the coast and sent him along
easily in his morning trials until he
had him worked out of that nasty tenn
per that so frequently caused him to
lose races by being left at the post.
Brandt was very much impressed with
Chapultepec after he had beaten Jack
Atkin twice in stakes at New Orleans,
and worked him with Jack at Santa
Anita. When ready to do his best
Brandt sent him to the post. That
was last Saturday. He beat Meelick at
five and a half furlongs in 1:05, world
record time, and won so easily that he
impressed horsemen with his good
class. Many horsemen caught the time
! two to three-fifths of a second faster
9tban the official time. This made 1t
I look like a cinch for him to beat King
James yesterday and caused the to 8
odds that was laid against him. When
the official time was hung out there
was no surprise, and Johnny Powers

CONGRATULATIONS are hereby
offered to the board of stewards,

of the Santa Anita meeting upon the
wise, diplomatic, fair and thorough
manner in which they handled the sit
uation, most embarrassing as it was, in
the Carman-Dooley controversy. mdi-
vidual rights and the interests of the
turf were fully indicated and OBJ
served in the ruling that followed the
production of evidence in the case yes
terday afternoon. Carman was fined
5000 for engaging in a fight upon the
grounds and the same punishment was
melted out to his accuser, Mat Dooley'
and to r. Albers, the stable black
smith, who, it is alleged, scored the
most effective blow of the brief bat
tie at the Carman barn a few days
ago. Dick Carman, jr., son Of the New
York sportsman, was fined 5000 for his
angry outburst after Dooley had VIC
lated all turf ethics by running up the
selling price of the horse that had won
for his employer. This effectively

ting into Los Angeles Among those
who laughed the Ioudest was Kansas
Price. But, as he was about to leave
the car at First and Main streets,
George slipped up behind him, pinched
him on the calf of the leg and barlxed
like an angry dog. Kansas jumped
over a seat and kicked at the imagi-
nary dog and then the crowd had it
on him.
Johnny Powers and half a dozen 9TH
er horsemen caught Chapultepecs six
furlongs in 1:10 AS and quickly set at
rest all doubt as to the reliability of
the new world record hung out by the
official timers.
Tom Darmody bet 1900 on Steel to
show at to 1 and pulled down SIS
when that long shot pulled up in sec
ond place. He went right on down the
line and gathered in bundle of dollar
bills when Lord Stanhope won and
cashed again when Lady Irma dis
tanced her field. Tom is about $500
to the good already and does not bet
more than 50 or SO to race.
Louie Calm placed $1,000 on Mary F
at evens and Joe Mason had $500 on
at II to 10. Dick Williams thought
Mary was a moral cinch, too, and was
the worst surprised man on the
grounds when Red Walkers Pal came
along and beat her out.
Vance Gatewood, sporting specialist
for the Oakland Tribune, who enjoys
the doubtful distinction of being the
handsomest newspaper man on the
coast, is passing a semi-vacation pc
riod in the southland and goes out to
Santa Anita nearly every day. He has
acquired the winning habit and seems
unable to lose a bet. Slim was chap
eroning him about the grounds yes
terday.
H. A. Unruh, one of the association
directors, is a fiend for combinations.
Yesterday he played Lord Stanhope,
King of the Mist and Lady Irna to
win, getting $175 to IS, and when Lady
did a loving two-step down the home
stretch. throwing kisses at her distant
field, Unruh bowed his head and smiled
like he thought he ought to be ashamed
of himself for taking the money. He
could not have done better had he par
leyed his money on the three winners.
