FIGHT BY ROUNDS

Round one-Attell refuses to shake
hands. Welsh was first to lead with
a short left jab. Welsh led again and
Attell blocked. Welsh landed light
lefts to stomach and head, Attell dane
ing away. Both men very cautious.
They clinched, both trying uppercuts
to jaw, which were harmless. Attell
fights back with lightning jabs to
stomach, while Welsh pounds kidneys.
Welsh landed left to face and tried his
shift without damage. Welsh warmed
up, landing stiff lefts to stomach and
nose, Attell contenting himself with
short-arm jabs to stomach. Welsh
landed left to nose several times, Abe
returning short jabs to stomach in
clinch that followed. There was no
damage and the round was very tame.
Round two-Welsh tried to feint At
tell out, sending his head back with
left to nose. At close quarters Attell
fought like lightning to body, Attell
covering with elbows. Attell missed
right uppercut, but landed twice with
left to jaw, shaking his man, who watt
ed for clinch. Welsh brought cheers
Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1908-11-26

outs, as she usually does, she will be
the contender. Hasty Agnes cannot
be denied an excellent chance to be in
the money and probably will bring ND
the rear of the money division. The
finish may be Ccloquy, Ida May, Hasty
Agnes.
The second race is at one mile and
brings out a bunch of good platers.
Most OF them need a race to put them
on edge, while it is doubtful If Old
Timer Will go to the post in this event.
John Lyle, with only IS pounds up and
equally good in any going, looks like
the best of the bunch. He has been
working well and is fit and ready. Mike
Jordan is better horse than when he
formerly raced here and is right on
edge now, so he may give Lyle some
trouble. He should be second, anyway.
Merrill also has been running nicely at
Oakland and is fit and ready. Old pop
Willard may be trying to cut a melon
here, and 1t is a ripe one, so Merrill
may be good enough to be third.
Canique also is doing nicely and is
dangerous, while Barney Oldfield is the
outsider who is being touted along the
rialto as sure thing Might watch
the betting with good results Rather
like the order Of finish in this way;
John Lyle, Mike Jordan, Merrill.
Inc Iulru race is a 2-year-oid affair
and some fair ones are named to start.
Roy T, on his sensational workouts AT
Santa Anita, is my suspicion, and he
has been doing so much better in works
than most of the others can do in real
racing that ] shall select him to finish
first. Inclement is right on edge and
is the most dangerous one in the bunch
according to workout form. This one
will be played for a good thing. hut
second is as good as I can give him
Bold should be no worse than third
On her racing form and more recent
workouts she figures to be right there
all the way and should be no worse
than third in any circumstances. End
| held also will bear watching. He looks
| good and has been working great guns
lately. Joe Cations is a good outside
| chance, but he has not been doing un-
usually well in his morning trials The
finish should be Roy 7, Indictment Bold
Sam Hildreth has the real class al
the fourth race, the Pomona handican
but that does not necessarily rnean
that he has the race at his mercy al
though his entry win be made favorfte
Restigouche and Dandelion will carrv
his colors and it is a strong pair r.
draw to. Dandelion has lust rot of
the cars and may not be ready after
the long ride. Restigouche also is a
doubtful quantity in view OF Santa
Anita workouts, but nobody knows
Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1908-11-26

Heretofore local race meetings have
not been featured by the attendance of
the best class of horses, except in occa-
sional and remote instances, but this
year all will be changed. Instead of
the cheap selling platter predmominat-
ing and the bush" owner being in the
majority, many OF the greatest horses
of the day, owned by many of the lead
ing breeders and owners Of the Amert-
can turf, will sport silks and in such
large numbers that the cheap selling
platter will find it an exceedingly diff
cult job to win his oats during the win
ter. Glass, in everything, is to pre-
dominate at this meeting, and the sport
will be on a par with that furnished In
the summer meetings on the metropol-
itan circuit. The stakes to be run for
at this meeting will compare most
favorably in value with those that VIII
be scheduled for the metropolitan meet
ings next summer, if any are held.
The feature of the opening day card
will be the Pomona handicap, at seven
furlongs. AS usual, this will be the
fourth event on the card. The class of
horses that will race at the meeting is
indicated in a degree by the eleven
starters named for this event. Resti-
gouche, one Of the 2-year-old stars of
the James r. Keene stable and winner
of stakes at Saratoga and other New
York courses, will be coupled in the
betting with Dandeiion, one of the
former great horses of the metropoli-
tan circuit The latter will carry top
weight, with the former next high.
Both are owned by Sam Hildreth and
will have the best riders available,
Shilling on Restigouche and Upton on
Dandelion. They undoubtedly will be
made favorite in the opening betting
Stanley Fay, Dominus Arvo, Green
Seal, Old Timer, Lee Rose, Lisaro, Gem
NELL Jack Nunnally, VoX PopuH and
probably one or two added starters will
complete the feld-the classiest field
that ever went to the post In the south
west.
Secretary Smith has started a new
wrinkle in naming the first race OF the
first day. This season 1t viii be the
Introductory handicap a six-furlong
dash, and half a dozen good ones are
named to chase the $500 cash prize
hung up. Hasty Agnes Center Shot,
Ida May, Gold Heart, Rialto and Col
loquy form the field that will go to the
post in this event, and unless rain falls
before they are sent on their way by
Starter Jake Hoffman there will be
sure enough scramble for the honors.
The card for this afternoon is the best
ever framed up for any day of racing
at a local course. There is not NUT
event on the card. The last race is al
most as attractive as the first or the
fourth, and it will bring out horses
that last year were running in stake
races here and at Emeryville. Some of
them have been running in stake races
on the coast this season, notably among
them being Neva Lee, Gemmell, Preten-
sion and Mark Antony II. In fact,
there is no Just cause for complaint in
any regard in so far as the class of
