GRAMMAR SCHOOLS
TAKE TO ATHLETICS
Track Teams VIII Be Formed--5oys
Have Junior and Senior Clubs.
Quintet Games Are
Scheduled

Much interest is taken in grammar
school athletics at the present time and
numbers of students are out daily prac-
ticing for the various events. Some Of
them have developed into fast players.
The boys have been divided into two
classes, seniors and juniors. All stu
dents whose department is good and
who are regular in attendance and
whose height is five feet or more may
play on the senior clubs; those less
than five feet may join the junior
teams.
The next athletic program to be
played will be Soccer football and bas-
ketball. The schedule for the Soccer
games has not been completed. Track
teams are to be formed after classes
have been promoted.
The following basketball schedule
has been adopted for the second divi-

closed with an even fifty nominations,
and if there are ten starters the event
will have a gross value of $4,000. Such
classy juveniles as Friend Harry, Joe
Madden, Fitz Herbert, Gerrymander,
Sir Alvescot, j. H. Reed, ETHEREAL,
Footpad, Schleswig, Homecrest, Palo
Alto, Lee Rose and Fair Annie are
among the probable starters, and If
one-fourth of these go to the post, as
seems assured, it will be one of the
real classy events of the season. These
juveniles also will hook up again in
the Derby in March.
Sam Hildreth is the only owner at
Santa Anita who has an entry in ev
cry stake event of the season. With
such an extensive establishment to eat
up profits he has to win a few of these
stakes to break even, and has made
a good start by annexing one in the
first three that have been run.
Very little noise is being made by
Barry and Kaufman thus far in their
training period, but these top-notch
maulers are down to knitting already
and are getting into condition for what
they realize will be one great big bat
tie. Kaufman is working with Papke
at Venice and when he st arts out upon
his regular routine grind he will be
in fine fettle for hitting up the strenu-
Gus pace that Billy Delaney will put
him through. Barry is working harder
for this scrap than for any other in
his career. He must beat Kaufman
to maintain his prestige as a near
champion and he believes it is in him to
do it. Terry Murphy is working Barry
under almost as strict discipline as is
maintained by the boss of the chain
gang, and his big boy is showing eX-
cellent results therefrom.
Sylvie Ferrett;, manager of Hugo
Kelly, will arrive this morning from
Chicago to take charge of Kelly's af-
fairs until after the fight. Being a
business man, Ferretti cannot accom-
pany his fighter on his long trips and
direct him in training, but never fails
to be at ringside when the big show
is pulled off. Ferretti is a crackerjack
matchmaker and 1t is due largely to
his good matchmaking that Kelly has
stirred up such a big noise in the mid
dleweight division.
The reform wave has struck Texas,
and already plans are announced by
an organization just formed for wiping
out racing in the Lone Star state.
Texas is a tough proposition for the
reform wave to tackle, as they have
some decided ideas down that way.

is % years old, past. Joe Cans is 81
years old, according to records, but it
/ is claimed by supposedly good author

Willie Fairbanks has returned from
San Diego and wants to explain to the
Los Angeles public that he was ac-
quilted of the charges against him that
resulted in his arrest here several
days ago. He was accused of stealing
an oVercoat on a train between San
Diego and Los Angeles, but was able
to prove that he bought 1t for IS, and
was fortunate enough to have witnesses
at his trial who saw him pay for the
coat. Upon this proof he was released,
and wants the public mind disabused
regarding the charges.
The match series of three-cushion
billiard games between Walter john
son and George Kennedy for side
purse of $40 each will begin tonight at
Morleys casino parlorS at 8 O'Clock.
Each game, there being two to be
played, will consist of fifty points, to-
tai points to count for the series. Ow-
ing to the fact that Papke and
Kelly will fight Tuesday night, the sec
ond game will not be played until
Wednesday night and will be played
at Berry's Hoffman parlors. Much in
terest has been aroused in this match
because of the keen rivalry between
this pair of experts, and the devotees
OF the game undoubtedly will turn out
in large numbers.
Play will be resumed tonight in the
three-cushion billiard tournament at
Morley's Casino parlors, but play VIII
not begin until after the finish in the
Kennedy Johnson challenge match.
The boys who are in this tournament
have been playing off their scheduled
games in a prompt manner that at
tests their interest, and the affair
should be wound up in another week
or ten days. All are playing good bill
lizards and some good averages are be-
ing made. Bob Golmer is the target at
which all others are shooting now,
while White is another victim who Is

these players have clean scores, but
have played only two games.
The stake feature of this week at
Santa Anita will be the Garvanza
handicap at one mile. It is for 2-year-
olds only and has $3.50 added money

M'CAREY CARD
IS ATTRACTIVE
GOOD CLASS INVOLVED IN
MAIN EVENT
Native Son and Spaghetti Champion
Training Faithfully and Both Will
Be in Perfect Trim for
GrueIIng Battle

BY changing the bout between FREQ
Corbett and Jap Oyama from six to ten
rounds, the card at McCarey's pavilion
for next Friday night has been ma
terially strengthened, and the fans will
see thirty-six sessions of the best fight
ing of the year, barring, perhaps, the
spirited battles of last Friday night.
The card as completed is as follows:
Dick Hyland VS.. Kid Dalton, ten
rounds.
Frankie Sullivan VS.. Dave Rennie, ten
rounds.
Fred Corbett VS.. Jap Oyama, ten
rounds.
Young Solomon VS.. Jack Woods, six
rounds.
Jack Woods is a brother of Billy
Woods, the dusky heavyweight, but he
has not been seen in the ring for the
past year. He will hook up with a
tough mauler when he meets Solomon,
for, although this will be the white
boys first professional appearance, he
has shown well in the practice bouts in
which he has engaged, and while act
ing as sparring partner for the big
fighters at Doyle's camp short time
ago he demonstrated that 1t will take
a big punch to put him to the floor for
the count.
Fred Corbett likes ten rounds better
than the shorter route, and as this was
satisfactory to Eddie Robinson, who is
handling the Jap, the change was soon
made and the two tough near-light-
weights will have plenty of time in
which to show their superiority.
Dick Hyland continued his training
at East Side yesterday and appeared be-
fore a good-sized crowd of sports. He
boxed four hot rounds with Corbett and
two sessions with Kid Cannonball, who
made his debut in the East Side ring
and showed that he was brave in the
face of the punishment which Hyland
handed out to him. Hyland looked the
picture of a perfect athlete, and al
though he expects to whip Dalton
within the ten rounds he will not take
chances of being caught short of work,
but will enter the ring in the best shape
possible.
Dalton feels confident that he can
more than hold his own with the
chunky lad from the east. Dalton says
he fought in hard luck when he met
Cyclone Thompson, as the match was
made at catchweights and he suffered
to the extent of ten ponds by the ar
rangement, and then he could have
stayed the limit If he had not tried to
mix it with the Cyclone which re-
suited in disaster in the sixteenth
round. Dalton is working at his
brothers training quarters and will get
in shape so as to offset the defeat he
sustained at the hands of Thompson,
his tour of the north previous to this
bout being a succession of knockout
victories.

triCt.

The House. after favorable action by
the Senate. has renewed the franchise
of~the Baltimore and Washington Tran
sit Company of Maryland, 20 extend its
tracks into the District The bill pro
vides that, unless the road is construct
cd in two years it shall forfeit 81, 900.
and it's charter shall become void.
It's route into the District is described
as follows: Beginning where Third
street northwest intersects the present
line Of the railway Of said transit COM
pany; thence south on Third street 10
Madison street; thence west on Madison
street 20 Colorado avenue: thence south
westwardIy along Colorado avenue TO
the intersection Of Fourteenth street
northwest.
Mr. Campbell of Kansas was the only
member TO oppose the bill. Ho was
against II, ne Faid, because ne was con-
WINGED that the company could not build
the road, did not have the capital TO do
Il, and did not represent more than
$4,000. Mr.. Mcmillan OF New York, who
had called up the bill, resented these
statements. and said:
There is no reason for US TO refuse
10 grant this charter simply because
some other street railway company here
NAV want TO build along this route at
its own sweet will
Mr.. Olcott Of New York and Mr.. Sims
Of Tennessee also spoke for the bill.

ments that go with salt water, such as
