ALBANY, n. Y, March 12-Another
substantial step toward the statute
books was taken today by the legisla-
ture to abolish gambling at race tracks
in this state, as recommended by Gov
ernor Hughes in his annual message to
the Legislature.
After protracted meeting the assem-
bly, committee on codes reported with
out amendment the bills embodying the
governors recommendations.
The committee, by a vote of 10 to .,
refused to accept the amendment mado
yesterday by the codes committee Of
the senate which would defer the talk
ing effect of the legislation until Sep
tember l and thus exempt most of this
years racing schedules.
1t is the general opinion here tonight
that while there may be a stirring de-
bate in the senate over the measures
they are practically as good as passed
in the form desired by the governor.
Senator Raines, majority leader of
the senate, said: There will be no
deadlock between the two branches of
the Legislature. ] shall personally vote
to restore the senate bill to it's original

Special to The Herald.
SANTA BARBARA, March 12-The
Yannigans of the Chicago Cubs were
handed jolt by the Portland team this
afternoon which is only a forerunner, OF
what can be expected when the second
team of the White Sox go up against
the pennant winner in Los Angeles to-
morrow.
Portland commenced her display OF
fireworks in the fourth inning Cooney
bunted along the first base line and
beat the ball out. Malloy's sacrifice
put Cooney safely on third and john
sons long drive to left accomplished
the first run. Bassey's hit to right
aided Johnson peg. Danzig, Me-
Mercedes new first Dagger, flew out
to left field. McCredie's long drive to
center scored Johnson and when things
had quieted down Portland had a man
each on third and second. Walsh's long
drive TO left scored Bassey and Nc
Credie, but Portlands left fielder was
caught mapping at second. Bloomfield
flew out to Chicago's short field.
In the fifth Portland had the bags
filled before any outs were recorded.
Casey, the first man up, scored clean
single. Cooney got to first on pitchers
dead ball. Malloy's bunt helped the
play and Olmstead's tumble helped
Malloy to reach the initial bag and filled
the bases.
Johnson, after three unsuccessful at
tempts to land on Olmstead's speedy
balls, famed; Bassey's long drive to
right put Casey and Cooney over the
rubber and landed Mailoy high and dry
on the third position. Bassey's attempt
to steal second disconnected the White
Sox. for while he played hide and seek
Malloy slid home and Bassey was safe
on first on Anderson's tumble. Danzig
went out on a grounder to second ani
McCredie flew out to center
Bloomfield's two-bagger In the sixth
and Cooneys long drive to center let
Portland's pitcher score the eighth and
last run.
The White Sox never had u man
further than second, and only at two
periods of the game were they lucky in
doing that much.

AT CABIN
Both Lads Down to Weight and In
Best of Shape-Two PreIlms
Shoulds BE Worth
Seeing

Two of the smallest boys who ever
escaped the clutches of the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Children
Will mingle together at the Cabin to-
night. and when Young Terry Me-
Govern and Johnny Coulon are
through with their fight, whether 1t
goes the limit of ten rounds or Is
stopped sooner by a knockout, one or
the other will hail himself as the 105-
pound champion of the world.
This is new title, but 1t is about
all the youngsters can claim. Both are
too small to stack up with the larger
bantams, and although advertised as
fighters of this class 1t is all bull so far
as real facts are concerned.
But whether they are near-bantam
champs or not. McGovern and Couion
should be able to provide a merry en-
tertainment for those who care to see
the little fellows in action. Both have
trained faithfully in hopes of winning
the larger end of the $1,000 purse offered
by Manager McCarey, and each is con-
fident he win be able TO take the
others measure.
Coulon comes here from Chicago with
a nice record, and none of the lads
within five pounds of his weight has
ever been able to whip him. The
Windy city bunch are backing him
with lots of talk and little money,
and Papa Coulon has visions of going
home next week with McGovern's scalp
attached to his sons belt.
Young Terry expects to have little
to say about this part of the show. He
has never been up against boy who
could turn the trick. and is full of con-
fidence and belief in his lown ability.
His punch Is known to be hard enough
to make some of the larger fighters
take the count. and right here In his
home stown Terry believes himself in
vincible.

weeks training for the bout and re-
ports last night stated that both would
weigh under the 105-pound mark when

WAGE SCALE SUBJECT OF I'M
PoRTANT MEETING
indianapolis Body Discusses Course OF
Action to Be Pursued in Bitun-
inous Fieds-John Mitchell
Defers Action
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS, March 12.-The ma
tional convention of the United Mine
Workers of America met today In Tom,
linson hall to agree on course OF
action because of the failure Of the
operators and miners of the central
competitive field to agree upon JOINT
wage conference to fix scale in place
of the present one. which expires
April /.
The wage scales for the various btu
minous fields of this country and
Canada are based on the scale hxed IN
the central competitive field, consisting
of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Western
Pennsylvania.
Failure to agree upon a. joint meet
ing to fix a scale in this field has caused
President John Mitchell to call ma
tional meeting OF the miners to take
decisive action. Indications are that
four propositions VIII pe CONSIDERED py
the convention.
The first will be to adopt wage de-
mands and then issue a call for joint
wage conference, opening the door TO all
operators who may wish to come III,
sign the scale and keep their mines in
operation,
The second will be to adopt the scale
and issue call for joint wage con-
to refuse to make any scale except by
competitive districts which would mean
that the western Pennsylvania, Ohio.
Indiana and Illinois operators ana
miners would be held to be one unit, as
would those of Missouri, Kansas, Okla
homa, Arkansas and Texas-the south
western competitive field.
The fourth proposition will be the
extreme pace measure, provision that
the present contract be continued in
effect a month longer, and the mines
be kept in operation during that period.
At the opening of the convention Mr..
Mitchell reported the details of the un-,
successful conferences between the
operators and miners of the central
competitive field, and announced, mas
much as he waste retire from the head
of the organization April l, that he did
not feel justified in making any recon-
mendation as to the future policy OF
the miners. He suggested that all mat.
tiers of policy and future course OF
action be referred to the scale COM
mittee.
Vice President Lewis moved that TINS
action be taken and the motion pre-
Vailed. Adjourned until tomorrow.

RAWHIDE, New, March 12.-The

A contract has been placed to build
a ad-gauge railroad from Schurz to
this point. a distance of twenty-siX
miles. The work is to start immedi-
ately and will be finished in 100 days.
Preparations are under way to fur

be in operation in sixty days.
