all the outlaw magnates are favorable
to the plans, with only their Stubborn
ness standing in the way of an agree
ment.
johnson was expected to leave San
Francisco for the east Tuesday night,
but dispatches from Frisco give the
information that he still is in the north
ern city and is comforting with Charlie
Graham and other State league mag
mates. Pulliam considers this a most
favorable indication of an early and
satisfactory agreement. Johnson was
in a big hurry to get back home for the
holidays, and Pulliam regards 1t as
most pressing and important piece OF
baseball business that has delayed MS
departure.
Pulllam says that the State league
magnates are good men, but too stub
born for their own good. They made
demands that could not be granted and
efforts at securing a compromise agree
ment failed, but it is his opinion that
these outlaw leaders will come around
when they have had sufficient time to
seriously and calmly consider the stu
alton. He wound up his talk on this
subject by saying: at predict with
much confidence that the outlaws will
be playing in organized baseball next
season, despite that the outlook at this
moment is not as encouraging as l
had hoped to find It,"
Hen Berry did not come home with
Pulliam, but telegraphed last night to
the effect that he would arrive today.
Pulliam will return to his home in the
east tonight in all probability.

"There is no controversy in this re-
gard. A mistaken impression seems to
have obtained on the coast that the
American association and eastern
league representatives are talking of
secession as a sort of bluff to force
the national baseball commission to
create a special classification for those
leagues that would place them ahead
of the Coast league In rank. The
American association and eastern
league representatives recognize the
agreement of the commission with the
Coast league and are not asking that
their organization be advanced over
the Coast league. 1t would be VIOLA
ton OF an obligation upon the commits
sion and no member would think OF
such a thing.
1.-THE Coast league never will be re-
duced in rank, and no other league
will be advanced over 1t. realize that
the Coast league is equal to any other
class A league, and it is one OF the
strongest class A organizations under
the national agreement. 1t would be
unfair and a breach Of faith to reduce
the rank or advance any other league
over It,"
Pulliam also gives it as his opinion
that the outlaw State league will be
playing in organized baseball next sea-
son as a class B organization. He and
Ban Johnson, president of the Ameri-
can league, have been in conference
with the state league magnates for sew
eral days. and while no agreement was
reached Pulliam says that practically

The feature event is the Estrella hand

with thirty one big stores in open

ly doings in the ring during the betting
on this event. Large fields will be the
rule in all events except the handicap,
and with six starters named for that

large nor too small. Some real good
ones are engaged in the first, second,

Jockey Treubel continues to be the
riding sensation of the season. This
crackerjack pilot is experiencing his
second time on earth. having ridden
his first mount in two years only a
few days ago, and 1t is so seldom that
former great riders ever come back and
show their once great form that Treu-
bel is looked upon as something of a
marvel. He is as alert as Schilling at
the barrier, gets his horse away from
the post in a good position every time
out, is an excellent judge Of pace and
can put up a finish with any of them.
In fact, horsemen regard him as the
equal of any jockey now riding. Treu-
bel is showing all his old-time form,
and the fact that he always rides to
win, and usually is successful, makes
him favor4te with that element which
plays the Jockey rather than the horse.
Detective Fogarty Of New York, who
came to Los Angeles to get Kid Regain.
captured by Chief Flammer several
days ago, visited the track Tuesday to
call upon his old friend, Seymour Beut-
Ter. They have been friends for many
years, and enjoyed the brief visit i'm

Six horses, the property of John E.

The record number of books went on
at the cutin yesterday, thirty-one
drawing in. Among the new books in
line were Tom Shaw, Johnny Cahill,

Ed Levy, A. Klugman and j. Adler.
This breaks the local record of twenty
six books in line at one time and is
thirteen more than were in line at the
eighth cutin last season. II also equals
the big ring at Emeryville, and in the
number are a dozen of the biggest
layers of the metropolitan season. Tom
Shaw became weary of losing from the
ground and hoped on the block to
recoup several thousands dollars loss
in his short visit to the coast.
Charlie Gates experienced another
big day at the races yesterday, a trial
balance after the last race was run
showing a net profit Of S6250 for his
operations. He was entertaining one
of his New York friends, Johnny
Hobbs, wealthy mining man, who Is
interested with Gates in Nevada prop
critics, and made the cleanup just to
prove that he is no amateur at picking
the winners. He had chunk down
on Proper and dropped a big bundle
when Rialto was beaten, but this did
not prevent him from winning enough
to show his friend a good time. After
the races he, Hobbs and Seymour
Beutler quietly celebrated the days
success and then drove Gates auto into
Los Angeles. Charlie Is an expert at
the wheel and Is far from being speed
mad, although he would hit it up
when on long stretch of smooth road,
yet always being unusually careful in
taking no chances of an accident.
Nearly every employee of Lawrence &
Comstock nursed shiny souvenirs of
yellow metal last night and partici-
pated in the Gates success to the ex-
tent of liberal dividends. He is only
a great. big, happy boy, enjoys life
and is immensely popular with all who
know him.
Schilling has struck a slump in his
riding and has failed to land a winner
in the last seventeen races at Santa
Anita. He is getting away from the
post in good shape, but seems to have
hit streak of hard luck for good and
fair. Those who have been playing
the Schilling system are away off to
the bad. He is too good a boy to stay
in the rut very much longer, however,
and is apt to get back on his stride and
make up for his poor record this week
with vengeance.
Jeems Morley is arranging to enter
tain record crowds at the Ship hotel
during the holidays and make the visit
of his friends a most pleasant epoch
in their lives. He has engaged several
additional entertainers, selecting them
from local vaudeville shows and will
have five or more entertainers on duty
all the time. A real Christmas tree,
bearing souvenirs of the season, will
ornament the big room. Racing folk
find the Ship a most pleasant and con-
venient resort after the exciting hours
at the track and the place has become
quite popular with this element, as well

Everything is fine shooting at the

was to investigate the truth in the re-
