7 OVERS of the thoroughbred will find the
Santa Anita card for this afternoon
1 1 most attractive. The Tropico handicap,
- at one mile, will be the feature event and
high class stake field is named in the
overnights. Horses like Dandelion, Mont
gomery, Dominus Aroi, Mark Antony IL,
Magazine Stanley Fay, Green Seal, Molesey,
Ida May, Ethel Day and Cloyne are good
enough for any stake event and Will go IN
ones as Riheman, Veil, Maltbie and Roalta
engaged The fifth race has Montgomery,
Lotus Eater Dominus Aroi, Magazine, Beau
clere and Molesey as its field. La Gloria,
Botanist San Nicholas, Light Comedy, Water

the probable starters in the final event or
the day. Only two selling races are on the
card. The outlook is for great sport and II
the track is fast there should be a few new
records. With large fields, and twenty-five
big stores in competition, good prices should
feature every event.

OAKLAND, Dec. 14.-Roseben met
his first defeat since coming to Cali

race at Emeryville today. After his
easy victories the big Splinter was a

Firestone was overlooked in the bet

to run as well in the somewhat hold

passed him easily, winning as he
pleased.

NEW GAME LAWS
MAY BE PASSED
Date for Quail Proposed to Be Thrown
Forward Two Weeks-Alteration
in Deer Restrictions APP
pears Probable

Although a number of the hunters
imagine that some of the game laws
at present in force are not to their
taste, it is more likely that at the COM
ing session of the legislature changes
will be made in the laws that will be
distasteful to a few However, the
amendments that are now talked OF
doubtless will meet with the approval
of the majority of sportsmen.
The open season for doves, which
now begins July 1, may be changed to
a later date because in July many of
the birds are nesting, and when they
are shot the young die in the nest.
At present the open season for ducks
begins October 1, and for quail Octo-
Der Is, and already a proposition has
been made to make it October l for
both and to include doves. While this
would throw the dove season back
three months, it would bring the quail
season forward two weeks, and 1t is
not believed that the ordinary sports
man would object very strenuously,
for doves are not considered as great
a delicacy as quail.
There have been rumors of posi- bic
change in the deer law, making the
legal limit one buck.
Although trout have been very scarce
in a number of Southern California
streams this year, the general Scnene
of restocking will be followed rather
than that of shortening the open sea-
son or closing it for several years on
any particular fish.
Several hunters who ''hiked'' out to-
ward Whittier Sunday In quest OF
quail came home empty handed. One,
speaking of the quail among the Whit
tier hills, said they were few and far
apart.
Louis Breer, Dave Mansfield and Joe
Brown returned the other day from a
trip through Saugus and came home
with several fat quail for their trouble.
Breer and party went out by automo-
bile and report that the birds are
plentiful during the early hours of the
morning, but go to the woods about
noon.
On account of the bad weather in the
north the state fish car has been held
over at the Sisson hatchery, and in the
course of a few days will make a trip
to San Francisco with a carload of
striped bass which will be placed in
the creeks of Oakland and other north
ern rivers.

SAINTS BEGIN THEIR
BASEBALL PRACTICE
First Squad Plays Game with Scrub
Team and Walks All Over 1t
Without Any Diff
Guilty

The first practice of the season was
INDUCED in by the candidates for the
st. Vincent's college baseball team yes
terday afternoon. Twelve men re-
ported for practice, and under the
guidance of Coach Moores engaged in
batting and light field work.
Gridle was behind the bat and showed
his old-time headwork and classy base
throwing, while Foster Couts, in the
box, and Shute on second, showed good
form for so early in the season.
After the regular practice was over
a scrub team was organized and played
five snappy innings with the first
squad, although they never had look
in with the older players as far as the
score was concerned.

of training that he has undergone while
under the direction of the boss trainer,
Molly Mcdonald.
That Kelly is a serious contender for
the title was proved when he fought
Ketchel, despite that he, like all other
opponents of the pugilistic wizard,
stepped into one of those money-win-
ming punches unexpectedly and went to
sleep. Up to the very moment that he
was knocked out he was winning easily
from Ketchel, clearly outboxing him
and taking a big lead in each round.
Had he not become careless, like all
other rivals of Ketchel, he might have
gone on and won the championship.
Papke has had only a week in which
to get into condition, but he appears
to be in perfect trim, and says that
such is the case. Sam Berger, AL
Kaufman, Jack Gleason and Yank
Campbell have been whipping him
into condition, and Berger said last
night that Pake could not be better
fitted for a fight in such a
short time If Papke loses there
dition. Both have made the weight
with ease and will have no worries re-
garding their poundage when they
meet at o'clock this evening to weigh
in at Jeffries' cafe.
Public interest in this battle is best
proved in the remarkably large ad-
vance sale Of tickets in the few days
they have been on the market. Baron
Long is figuring on a crowded gallery
and the lower sections are in unusual
demand, which makes the financial out
look unusually good. The first prelim-
mary will be called promptly at 8:15
o'clock and the entire card will be run
off without delay. Interest abroad in
the fight is as keen as it is in Los An
geles, and quite a large number of Wis
iting fight experts and press repre-
sentatives are here to witness the
near-championship struggle.

The second and final game Of the match,
which involves a S2O0 side bet, will be played
Wednesday night at Hen Berry's Hoffman par
lors, beginning at $50 o'clock. Kennedy must
beat Johnson so to 3S to win and each of the
rival cue experts has a large army of admirers
who will argue all day and all night in af
frming or denying Kennedy's chances of win
ming out against his big handicap.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-12-15

The scrap is of greater importance,
probably, to Papke than to Kelly. The
Kewanee kid won his championship
honors at Vernon last Labor day in a
fight that will go down in history as
one of the greatest exhibitions ever put
up in any ring. A few weeks later he
lost it back to the deposed champion in
a battle that showed Papke in a decided
form reversal. He says that he was
unable to fight at all that afternoon,
and is unable to explain his poor show
ing in any other way. He, and all who
witnessed that and other battles of the
Kewanee boy, says that he put up the
poorest excuse for fight that he ever
exhibited in his career.
This fight tonight, therefore, will give
Papke a chance to prove whether he
fought below his real form when he
lost the title back to Ketchel or
whether he is going back so fast that
he is out Of the contention for the
future. For these reasons Papke will
fight as desperately as he ever battled
in his life, and all the elements in his
pugnacious makeup that forced him tC
the top of the heap will be brought into
play tonight to enable him to regain
his lost laurels If he whips Kelly In
a decisive manner he will be in a posi-
tion to claim a return match with
Ketchel as Kelly assuredly is regarded
as one of the two greatest rivals of the
champion.
Kelly is as game as they make them
and is the cleverest middleweight in
the business. He has undoubted class
and has whipped all the near-cham-
pions in his division with the exception
of Papke. Kelly is a coolheaded ring
general, has a fierce wallop that will
put an opponent to sleep any time 1t
lands, and he is in the best condition of
his career. He will go into the ring to-
night with better prospects Of winning
than ordinarily is the case, owing to
the long, careful and systematic course
