WE BEAT NEW HAVEN.

New Haven, Feb 22,--Hlsglhs ana
Jason. the whirlwind rushers OF Nc
Mahon's Rough Riders, were fast
too fast for the Boneyards, last even
ing, and defeated the New Haven
FIVE with ease by the score of 3 to o,
Schiller and Warner were slow and
Pete Woods was in his poorest con-
dition of the season. The latter's
playing resulted In apparent poor
playing of Mullen. Schiller worked
about in his usually fast form, but
he was not effective. He did not re-
ceive Warmers nor Farrells passes
we'll and handicapped the locals Sc
verely.
Bone relieved him in the latter
part of the second period and for a
while the tide turned about COM
pletely and the local five looked like
victors. Warmers work was far be-
low his standard.
For the Boneyards Farrell and
Mullen were the star performers
The former player for the first two
periods put up phenomenal exhibit
ton. His three goals, one-half oil
New Ravens total, shows his effec-
tive work. Bone played a splendid
game for the short while he was in,
but New Haven was doomed to de-
feat and even brilliant work could
not have held back the hand of fate
for the first period and a half. Null
len stopped nearly everything that
came within the limits of the sacred
cage, but when Woods allowed Hig'
gins to stand directly In front OF the
cage and wait for Jason's passes II
was utterly impossible for the local
goal tender to stop the rubber
Saunders's appearance on the scene
of action helped the cause very lit
tie. In blocking Jason and Higgins
he was effective for a while, throw
ing the Waterbury rushers from
their course nearly every time they
rushed down the rink.
Up to the last period the game was
exciting, but in the final session the
Rough Riders galloped away with
the victory without any objection on
the part of the local five.
A big crowd turned out to cheer
the boys, but were sorely disappoint'
ed when the game started. Water
bury was there at the start and
Jason Gagged the first two goals OF
the evening. Then the first period
closed with a drive into the net by
Farrell which took the crowd by
storm. Higgins opened the second
period with two goals and then ia
son scored another. BY this time II
looked pretty dark for the local
team and the members of the fair
sex were weeping big briny tears
Finally Farrell Gagged the ball again
Then Bone came into the game in
the place OF Schiller and started
right OF by scoring a goal.
The third period was fast, but Wa
terbury had the better of this pc.
Rod by one goal which ended the
game with the score TO 6. Bone
got two goals in the last period and
Farrell one.
Holderness, the cripple. who ap.
peared with his face plastered, was
struck on the arm with a polo stick
but played the game out. He seems
to be always in the way and is one
of the most unluoky players in the
league.
Mullen did good work at the goal
and made some fine stops during the
contest which called for applause
Saunders relieved Woods and Lox.

minutes during the game. The line

horsemen yesterday, shipping from

Eddie Ryan. who is boss man on the
Santa Anita grounds, even when Lower
Tucker is around. says that he intends
arranging with the weather bureau &c
have the fogs held off the grounds each
morning in future until after the horses
have worked out. He probably will
post several husky boys about the
track, in trees and on top of the
stables, with fans to dissipate the fogs

some crackerjacks in the shipment.
George Baldwin and Judge C. y
Henderson visited the horsemen at
the track yesterday and secured 4
large number of stake entries. Nearly
every horseman who was approached
made one or more entries and the pros

The Central studio, 4521a South
Broadway. is showing a handsome large
photograph of all the Angel players
who finished the season with the PEN
nant winning bunch. Each player
shows up in the picture in remarkably
plain effect and easily is recognizable
at a glance, as the photo of each play
er is sufficiently large to permit iden-
LITIGATION without difficulty. The photos
are scattered over a large card and
makes a handsome souvenir of the
Champions club.
Marbles and Christmas, horses with
familiar names in the local pool room,
were bought few days ago from j.
w. May by Miller Henderson and will
be shipped to os Angeles at once.
Horsemen should not overlook the
fact that next Tuesday is the last day
for filing stake entries for the events
to be decided during the Santa Anita
winter meeting. Inasmuch as horsemen
are more liberal in patronizing these
stakes this year than ever before, all
events will be of greatly increased
value.
Irving II. Wheatcroft, the wealthy
British Columbia breeder and horse
man, owner of the st. James stable,
that will be raced at Santa Anita dur
ing the winter was the heaviest buyer
recently at the McGrathiana stud dis

Yorkshire Lad and other great sires,

Abe Attell probably will train at Jack
Doyle's place for his fight Thanksgiv-
ing eve with Freddie Welsh. Abe will
be quite an attra ction at any camp
and always draws good crowds be-
cause he is a pretty boxer and always
puts up an interesting workout. Fred
die probably will train in his old quar-
ters at Venice.
Frank Weir again announces that he
will race the horses owned by Frank
Farrell and Davy Johnson on the coast.
This includes Roseben, and 1.-THE Big
Train undoubtedly will race at Santa
Anita the principal part Of the time.

prime mudder, but a few days ago she
was dsgracefully beaten by States

her owner, is of the opinion that while
she will run in mud she prefers a paste
board track. Santa Anita is her old
home, anyway.

HORSES ARRIVING
IN LARGE NUMBERS

n LILY MCKINNEY, known every
Il where the horses run for purses
~ and stakes, is among the latest
arrivals from the east. Billy brings a
small but good string and expects to
be a factor i'll the settlement of a few
purses during the winter season at
Santa Anita. Billy has Senator Bar
rett and two others in his string. He
lost Golf Ball a short time ago in a
selling race down east. When Billy
showed up at the track and uneoiled
one of his "Oh, you kid laughs, horse
men began to gather from all direc-
lions, recognizing the owner by that
laugh that is so filled with good humor
and happiness that everybody wants to
be his friend, just to be around and
hear him cheer up with the ripples of a
light heart,
Waco Powell also arrived yesterday
with a fine bunch of good ones. His
headliner is John A, the best 2-year-
old shown in Texas this year John A.
is a handsome big colt. by Bobbie
Beach-Prineess Rose, and horsemen
who have seen him are eloquent in
expressions of admiration. The colt
won about all the stakes in which he
started at the San Antonio and Dallas
meetings, and much is expected of him
during the winter. Jockey j. Brooks
accompanied Powell.
Jack Thornby is about to become the
manager of a. fighter. He says he has
140-pounder coming from Chicago
who can whip anything in the world
that walks on two feet and weighs
around that notch. With a fighter and
Stoney Lee on his staff during the
winter, Jack should have enough trou-
bles for one long-suffering nature.
Joe Buscher and Sink Spring got in
from Texas yesterday and Col. Jim
Brooks foIesees lots of fun for the
winter. Brooks never could overlook
Sink Spring.
s. A. Clopton and several other horse
men have gone TO Emeryville to attend
the opening races of the coast winter
season. They will return in few
days.
Fog was unusually heavy yesterday
morning at Santa Anita, and horsemen
were forced to delay the morning work
outs until after 10 o'clock The Oldest
inhabitan was hunted up and consult

them that he never had known of such
heavy fog in all his life.
r. T. Carman has leased a home in

make their residence in the Crown City
during the Santa Anita season. They
probably will be in their new home
today or tomorrow. Carman is at the

his horses are worked out properly and
seems to be learning the business real
speedily.
