old stake ever run at Santa Anita park.
Ihere are purse and five selling races
TO De run in addition to the feature,
and the public will get it's moneys
worth. 1t is a well balanced card and
the finishes should be close, as there
does not appear to be a cakewalk on
the program.
Sixteen sprinters are asked to go five

their last starts in clever style.
Although only four start in the third
race, it should be a tight fit, as the
weight arrangement brings them all
together with an equal chance. Aero

Baby Race Feature
The feature event of the day is the
fourth, the Santa Anita stakes, and the
best 2-year-olds at the track will go.
Achieve won all her races in such easy
fashion there is no telling how good
she really is. Paradise Queen had no
chance in her last race. Chilla is a
good colt. Foreguard and Queen
Grove like the long route.
The long distance event of the day is
the fifth race, and such well known per-
formers as Crepps Beckham, Alma Boy.
Rubinon, Meddling Daisy and Foncasta
will meet, and 1t should be hotly con-
tested race all the way.
The sixth number brings out good
lot of selling platers and 1t is a hard
race. Chalfonte has the speed of the
lot, but has dicky legs, which may give
way on him at any time. Ed Ball Is in
grand form right now. Chippewa ran
a good race Thursday and will go well
today. Mary F is very speedy and can
go a mile. Merlingo and Uncle Henry
will go WELL
A big field will close the days sport
over the five and a half furlong route.
Slippery Creston Boy, Koenigin Luise,
Orelio and Prolific have the speed of the
party, and they, with the others en-
tered, should furnish good sport and a
close finish.

The University of Southern Califor-
mia, from standpoint of points to-
tailed, effectively quelled, at least for
time the ambitions OF the Los An
geles track athletes in the opening meet
of the season between the two schools
on Bovard field yesterday afternoon.
The collegians drew so 1-6 credits out of
the events, while The academies were
able to win but 81 5-6 points.
Considering the merits, however, from
the basis of past performances and al
ready established regulations the preps
made a much better operative showing.
In every event the high school candi-
dates came fully up to the expectations,
While in many cases the MethodistS
failed to accomplish their former rec
ords.
The principal thing which was re-
sponslble for the lack of form on the
part of the collegians was the short
session of practice in preparation for
the meet. Coach Holmes said his men
had trained for practically but one
week and were scarcely In condition to
be judged by their performance yes

every man will put forth his mightiest

ANTI-TIPPING LAW
WORRIES CITY ATTORNEY
Will Ask counciimen Monday to Force
Omissions from Prints of
All Betting Fig
ures

City Attorney Leslie r. Hewitt is
likely to report an amendment to the
city council on Monday making the
anti-tipping law far more drastic.
Copies of Racing" the new daily
sheet, have reached him, which, he
holds, show fragrant violation of the
new ordinance.
The amendment will prohibit the
publication of any information relat-
ing to betting or betting odds.
1t is proposed to exclude from print
the betting figures after a race is rum
even.
The present law deals mainly with
advance information, but the amended
idea will prevent even the printing
afterwards of the betting as it took
place during the races.

cal storm. Lightning struck the
rear of Scott's livery stable,
across the street from the Hasse-
lon Hotel, and in a few minutes
the flames had destroyed the
stables and communicated to
the Streets stables nearby, which
were also soon gone. Several
horses were burned in Scots
stables. AS near as can be told
at this time the property loss
will perhaps not exceed $4,000.
