New York, Jan. 14.-The governing
board of the Army Canteen associa-
ton, an association of men who hope
to induce congress to repeal the law
which prohibits the sale of beer and
light wines at army posts and soldiers
homes, is taking active steps to or
ganize branches of the association in
every state in the Union that a united
pressure may be brought to bear on
congress to restore the canteen, as
recommended by practically every Off

Anas Is 2, Seals 1


Nagle deserved to score shstout
victory over the Seals yesterday. and
would have done so had not Howard
made two bobbles at second In the
third inning. At that he had TO score
the run that tied the score In the
ninth, being the first run tailed by
the champions and which saved him
from defeat, despite that he had al
lowed the visitors only four hits all the
way. 1t would have been a pretty ex-
hibition of "bush" ball for Nagle To
have lost the game. He was In great
though not unusual-form, and was as
stingy. with safeties as miser is with
his gold The one run scored by the
Seals came in the third, after Howard
had two chances to shut 1t off and had
failed both times.
In the third Berry fouled to Smith
Bodie singled to center and Willis
lammed one down to short. Delmas
made a pretty stop and throw to How
ard to start a double play, but Howard
muffed 1t, and both hands were safe,
Bodie going to third on the play.
Mohler poked one down to Howard. but
again the second baseman bobbled and
Bodie scored. Zeider hit to Nagle, who
threw to the plate in time to catch
Willis. Melchoir forced zeider at sec
ond, Delmas to Howard.
The Champs did not get run until
the ninth inning. At that time the
score stood one to nothing against
them. Nagle was first up and did not
propose to lose four-hit game, SO he
smashed the ball on the nose and
landed safely on first. Oakes sacrificed
him to second and Ellis flew. Dillon
singled and Nagle crossed the pan with
the tieing run. Dillon went to third
on Brashear's single and might have
ended the game had he been more
careful, but he was caught off third.
In their half of the tenth the Seals
went out In one-two-three order How
ard, first man up for the Angels,
popped to Mohler. Smith doubled to
center and scored when Delmas singled
to left, breaking up the game and pull
ing victory out of defeat. 1t was a de-
served victory for the locals, as they
outplayed and outbatted the Seals all
the way.
Following is the official score and

the Champs have the sign on Jonesey
Sutor McArdle and Berger also were
left behind, as none of the bunch is
going at good form now.
Winter not only brings the thorough
Nbreds to Los Angeles, but 1t also drives
the big league stars this way. In an
other fortnight there will be many
names on local hotel registers that
now grace the box scores of the two
sizzling pennant chases down east.
Nearly all the baseball notables OF the
year will be here this fall.
Jim Stewart, the New York heavy
weight, is coming to the coast for
matches with the big boys during the
winter He recently defeated Bonner
and was supposed to be matched with
Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, but the lat
ter declined the match after Stewart
gave Bonner such a beating that he
appeared to be a real tough customer.
Jimmy Walsh, the bantam cham
pion, had a close call the other night
when he was lucky enough to get a
draw with Joe Wagner at New York.
Wagner forced the lighting and Walsh
had to be on the lookout and bring all
his cleverness into play to stall off de-
feat.
Johnny Bullman, the grandpa jockey
and most popular with racegoers. is
due in Los Angeles today. He will
be in the employ of ]. ]. Walsh again
during the Arcadia meeting.
frankie Neil and frankie Moore
tackle the six-round no-decision busi-
ness tonight in Philadelphia. Leach
Cross and Willie Fitzgerald also travel
the same route in New York.
Tom Shaw, the bookmaker, probably
is the heaviest operator in the met
ropolitan ring" yet he is nothing on
the spectacular or sensational order.
In disposition he Is retiring and modest
and this is brought out distinctly in
his turf operations. He is one man
who ran nothing into a large fortune,
and he has done 1t in the last two
or three years. Since attaining great
success on the turf he has purchased
a beautiful home in New Orleans, but
seldom is seen in the Crescent city,
except during the winter meetings. He
will come to Los Angeles next winter
and will have strong string of horses
with which to begin his career as

Golden Pearl are owned by him and
will be trained by Herman Brandt, who
is also chief trainer for Barney
Schrieber.
Frank Dillon is king OF them all on
the managerial bench. He not only is
appreciated and beloved in Los An
geles because he is the classiest and
brainiest captain in the league. but he
gets more complimentary press notices
In other league cities than do all the
others. Bert Lowry, baseball editor of
the Frisco Globe, winds up an eulogy
on Dillon with a real preroration, as
follows: Looking back to the mid
season OF the league race there was a
time when every club in the outfit
was a pennant possibility. Three of
them were tied at one time and the
next club was but g. few points away.
Then Dillon began to show his class,
the Oaks fell down, our highly touted
pitchers blew up and the Beavers got
listless and now the fans see the re-
suit"
Freddie Welsh has changed his plans
for training for his scrap with Kid

ternoon and big card next Sunday
Arcadia is one of the most accessible
points hereabouts and the. fans will
find 1t convenient to attend Freddies
workouts.
Jimmie Toman is to 90 to San Fran
cisco next week to double up as UNI
pire with O'Connell and 1t is probable
that Jim Flynn will come south to
work double with Perrine. Berry says
that Toman is one of the best umpires
he ever saw in action, and 1t Is moro
than probable that he will get a per-
manent berth with the Coast league.
Uncle. the $4,000 colt owned by Sam
Hildreth, which has been on the shelf
for a year, has rounded to at last and
Trainer John Lowe says he will be the
king of 3-year-olds this fall. Lowe has
arrived at Emeryville with the western
division of Hildreth's string, including
Uncle, Meelick, Rapid Water, Tony
Faust, Achieve, Steel, Force, Vatican
and Vibrate. They will be shipped
south when the season opens.

In the last few days Coach Frank
Boren of Harvard school has fixed up
a full schedule for the soldier boys
The first game is to be with Hollywood
high school at Hollywood on October
10. One week later the future generals
will meet the Russ high school team
of San Diego on the Harvard gridlron,
while Throop will send an eleven here
to fight for league honors Saturday.
A return game will be played Octo-
Der 81 with San Diego high school at
San Diego Boren's men will go to
Pasadena to meet the high school elev-
en- of that city November IA. Coach
Boren has two open dates that he is
desirous of filing. He wants q game
with Long Beach high school on Mo-
vember and expects to arrange a
match with Santa Ana high. Santa
Ana holds out for a Thanksgiving
match, but as several members of the
Harvard team desire to go home for
that date November 2 likely will be
selected.
No scrimmage has been indulged in
as yet at the military academy, and at
present 1t Is impossible to get a. line on
the prospective members of the eleven,
but Boren expects to have his squad
picked within week. All are showing
up well in practice, and 1t looks like
the soldiers should be second only on
the gridiron to Los Angeles high
school ttftftt
AS a result of their showing Monday in the
Irtshman-S sophomore game at Occidental,
Coach Gorton has picked the men who are to
represent their class and college in the Po-
mona-occidental freshie game to be played at
highland Park one week from Saturday.

Barry thinks Johnson is easy money
for him and has placed several bets on
the result. He says:
"I am anxious to meet all the heavy
weights in my road to Kaufman and
will beat Johnson just as quickly as 1t
can be done. I never was in better
condition or more confident Of winning
than now, and although I have worked
harder for this battle than for any
other in my career I have kept up
around the 190-pound mark, and my
blows will carry the necessary steam
behind them to win the fight. I do not
predict a knockout victory as a rule,
but l realize that If I am to be able
to force Kaufman to fight me I must
stop Johnson quicker than he did, and
that shall be my determination when
I put on the gloves with him."
Fans Are Interested
Just because the fans have learned
to expect a real fight any time john
son puts up his dukes" and because
the battle has an important bearing
upon the heavyweight situation as an
elimination contest, the fans are man
ifesting an unusual degree of interest
In the result, and indications are favor
able to the best house that McCarey
has had at any of his popular price
shows. The advance sale has been un-
usually great, and 1t will be one Of the
old time crowds down at Maud juno
ton when Fat Al sends them on their
way tonight.
Two preliminaries are on the card,
Eddie Russell and Kid Murray being
scheduled for six rounds in the cur
tain raiser and AL Weinig and Ar
thur Collins going on for a ten-round
prelim windup Both battles will be at
catchweights, but the ten-round bouts
will be heavyweight affairs, while the
curtain raiser will be a featherweight
engagement.
The Weinig-Collins affair is a main
event card itself, and should result
in an interesting bout. Weinig Is the
old timer who has been doing main
event stunts down east for several
years, with a good record to show for
his efforts, while Collins is a husky
black boxer who has fought many
good battles on the coast. Charlie
Eyton will referee the main event and
George Blake will handle the prelim-
inaries.

Three new promising prospects have shown
up on the Los Angeles High school football
horizon and Coach Noble is in more opti-
mistic frame Of mind. The new men are Pat
terson, a former halfback at Belmont military
academy. who comes to fill Stan" MITCHELL 8
place; and WINNER and Short. linemen from
Salt Lake City, who played on the High school
team there at guard and tackle respectively,
and are familiar with each others playing
These three finds will mean great deal TO
the high school eleven after their recent losses
Slight scrimmage is being indulged In, the
main stunt being to tackle the backs coming
IN on punts. Plenty of linemen are on the
field and Noble is using two sets Of guards and
tackles. Mcclure. OF several years football
experience about town, has supplanted Brant
at end, but Geissler continues to hold down
for center and continues to play there with
h,s usual aggressiyeness and accuracy in pass
ing Wingett is at full and Decius is playing
IN half IN good shape, with Cass holding
monopoly on quarter.
If Manager GoodelTs plans do not miscarry,
Occidental will buck UP against the Whittier
state school football team for practice game
Saturday on the Presbyterian campus.
Gorton is working his men hard every after
rocn, but with little scrimmage. favorite
clay of the eastern man is the onside quarter
hack kick. In this play the quarterback drops
back, with the other backs lined up diagonally,

dodges around his man and falls on the ball
with a gain of from ten to twenty yards.

n ARNEY SCHREIBER, one Of the
II greatest breeders of thorough
- breds in the world. has sustained
another heavy loss in the death of his
great stud Balgowan, which died
Wednesday at the famous Woodlands
stud, near St. Louis. He was II years
old and leaves not only a remarkable
record as a racer, but became famous
as the sire of many great horses of the
last decade. Schreiber lost his great
English racer, Hercules. last winter by
fire at the stud. Hercules sent his
first get to the races last spring and
the Missouri baron had hopes that
Hercules would become as great sire
as Sain, Bannockburn and Balgowan.
Digger Stanley, the English feather
weight, is coming to America to get a
few scraps and easy money that may
not be SO easy as 1t looks from his
viewpoint across the pond. He will try
to get on with Moran or Attell, but
probably will be given Wolgast or Dris-
coll first, if there Is to be any first
DR.. B. f. Roller. the near-champion
wrestler of Seattle, announces that he
will open a physical culture school in
that city at an early day and will have
Bob Fitzsimmons as boxing instructor.
Professor Fitzsimmons will be quite
an advertisement for the new institu-
ton, and probably can give his pupils
some valuable advice occasionally. DR..
Roller also is considering the idea of
quitting the mat for the ring and may
become a promoter of pugilistic events
Owing to his high standing as busi-
ness man and sportsman and his clean
record, his connection with the game
will be quite an advantage to the sport
and may result in opening up the game
in Seattle.
On account of the excellent showing
behind the bat by Frambes, Portland
recruit, McCredie has released Whal-
ing, the Los Angeles boy, and he will
return home. Whaling also made good,
but McCredie does not need him in the
final games of the season.

the weights, probably two pounds, and
Barry will be favored in this slight
advantage. He probably will weigh
100 pounds in the ring, while Johnson
hardly will weigh more than 1S8
pounds. Both men are as hard as steel
and in perfect health and condition.
Teddy Murphy, manager of Barry, says
that he never saw his principal in such
good condition and SO confident in all
his career. Gaines, manager of the
Russian, says that since Johnson had
recovered from an operation upon his
nose. which restored his breathing ap-
paratus to it's normal use, and had
fully recovered his health and strength,
he had shown such great Improvement
that he believes Johnson will win in
sort order by te knockout route.
Johnson has had Arthur Collins, the
clever big black heavyweight, as his
sparring partner for several weeks,
and Gaines Says that Johnson, who
could not box at all until recently, has
so much improved that he now can
outlook Collins and would easily out
point the negro in a boxing bout. If
true, this means that Johnson, with
the combination of improved boxing
ability, his gameness and punch, as
