OAVANNAH, in the good old state
~ of Georgia, is the latest city to
~ get on the turf map, it having
been announced that sixty-day race
meeting will be held in that city, be-
ginning Christmas day. Already sew
eral prominent horsemen of the east,
who had intended racing at New Or
leans, have shipped their stables to
Savannah and the horses that will per-
form at the meeting will be of good
class. Savannah is rather too light in
population to make the meeting any
great financial success If large purses
and good stakes are offered, but It's
accessibility and agreeable winter cli-
mate will prove attractive to horse
men of the east and assure a success
full meeting from q purely sporting
viewpoint.
Dandelion certainly seems to be on
the ragged edge of his racing career
For a horse that has won a Suburban
handicap, a Saratoga handicap,
Travers stakes and nearly a dozen
other fixtures of metropolitan seasons
it is quite a drop to be running for
$25 third money in purse race, yet
that is what happened to him Satur-
day, while he also got third to Dom
mus Aroi and Colloquy in the MI
Lowe nanulcap on ms urSI Slel I,
which paid him $50. He probably will
do much better when Hildreth decides
to send him over a long route.
Grover Baker has yet to be con-
WINGED that Joe Madden is a better
or classier colt than his Friend Harry
despite the victory of the Hildreth
colt Saturday in world record time
Baker thinks Friend Harry is the
greatest race horse he ever saw and 1t
will require lot of beating to change
his opinion.
This Is the final day for filing nomin'
atoms to the various 2-year-old stake
events of the Emeryville season, and
those horsemen at Santa Anita who
have procrastinated should see that
their nominations are mailed today, so
that the postmark will show that the
letter was mailed before the closing
hour, which is midnight. Otherwise,
the nomination will be refused.

PASADENA HIGH GETS
BUSY WITH BASEBALL
Only Three Old Students Have Re-
ported for Practice, but Plenty Of
Superior New Material
ls In Sight

Baseball practice has been started
at Pasadena high school. Horace Hea-
ton has been elected captain, and Rob
ert Mather manager of the team. A
large bunch of candidates has reported
for regular practice and the prospects
look good for a first-class team, de-
spite the fact that only three old stu
dents have reported.
Heaton will bear the brunt of the
backstop work. He has shown him
self to be a good catcher and ought
to make good on the receiving end.
Last season he played fine game at
third base.
High school has four twirlers in
"Cinch" Wachob, the big fullback of
the football team; "Hen" Shafer, for
merly of the Columbia school team;
Don Slater and Kent of the same in
stitution.
All these men have had two or three
years of experience, and have speed
and control to burn. Wachob espe-
cially is a find" He is the brother
of Pete Wachob, who was one of the
best athletes that ever attended the
Crown City high school.
Students out for the initial sack are
Hayes, formerly of the Wilson team,
and George Boynton. who alternated
with Lockwood on the mound last year,
but will not do any twirling this year
If Heaton can go on first base or Bar
ker to catch.
Kent, Newell and Glass are trying
for school base honors. Both these
men are fast on their feet and are
showing up we'll in practice.
Mendenhall and McLain are the lead
ing candidates for third base. They
have had grammar school experience
and show great promise of developing
into first class players.
Several students are trying for the
autfield Among those who report reg
ularly are Forbes, Congdon, Elton, Nc
Donald, H. Shafer and Rich. All these
men have attracted the attention OF
Coach Wilson by their ability to field
and bat.
