Jack Ripper, who has been sick and
overturned for some time, took an au-
tomobile, the same one he smashed up
in a street car collision recently, and
left town Sunday morning. He and
Mrs. Ripper are taking in the beautiful
rural scenes between Los Angeles and
San Diego, via Murietta springs, and
will put in a week on the trip. This is
the only way Jack could get away from
business entirely and forget about how
badly he is needed at 1926 South Spring.
He tried it once before, but came back
the same day. Since he has been gone
two days, it is safe to expect him to
put in the full week on the trip.

ness. They are constantly buying
blankets, coolers, bits, boots, halters,
liniments, salves and other medical sup
plies. There hardly is a store they
don't patronize for something necessary
for their outfit, but a circus carries
everything with it, and whatever money
they get they take with them and that
town sees it no more.
A canvass of the business men of
Dover, N. H., was made by the eastern
representative of Clark's Horse Review
this spring to see if they were in favor
of resuming the meetings Eat Granite
park, and they were a unit in declar-
ing themselves for 1t. They figured
that the four meetings a year that
formerly were given left at least $780,
600 in the town, and, remember, Dover
is a little place of perhaps 10000 and
did not attract very high class horses,
the purses hardly ever being over $500.
The result is that they are enjoying
racing and prosperity this year once
more. What holds good in the east is
equally true of the west and meetings
in the towns named in the circuit most
certainly would bring money IN and
benefit nearly every kind of business.
Horsemen and race followers as a gen.
eral thing are liberal spenders, and
trotting stable is constantly in need of
articles that they must have at once,
and those things have to be bought, re-
CARELESS of price, in the town they are
racing in, as there is no time to send
home or to distant point.

Yesterday, not for the first time now
ever: and as both admire the game IN
which the other is famous, they got
into an argument. Berry insisted that
Thursday be known as Actors day at
the Chutes. when Kolb and his partner,
Dill, and about twenty-five other loot-
light favorites will occupy the boxes,
and Kolb refused to be outdone, SO ne
has designated that might as Baseball
night at the Los Angeles theater, when
Berry and the Angels and Beavers
teams will be guests of the Kolb and
Dill confederacy. This may be what is
known as professional courtesy" but
what followed after these felicitating
invitationous remarks were made is
best told in the following paragraph,
being another story.
Kolb once made a mark of ten" at
100 yards, so he says. Berry says ne IS
crazy (xolb, not Berry,. Then kolb
offered to bet the Los Angeles theater
against the Los Angeles franchise IN
the Coast league that he can beat any
Angel player around the four bags at
the Chutes, time considered. The bet
was made and articles of agreement
were signed. The race around the
cushions is to be the feature of the
afternoon when the actors are to at
tend the Angel-Beaver game. Berry
may select Bernard or cakes, but he re-
fuses to say which one, if either, will
run for his interests. Anyway, an An
gel player will start from the home
base and try to encircle the infield at
better rate of speed than Kolb will be
bile to do. Title to the property (may)

by a Judge who will be holding a stop

winning that he will prepare to dis
solve partnership with Dill and get
ready to retire from the stage In favor
of the diamond. as he expects to be-
come a baseball magnate after winning
the franchise which Is (noO at stake.
The novel race will be run few min
utes previous to the hour for calling
the Angels Beavers game, which is
o'clock, and the unusual feature, coup
led with the fact that Berry and Kolo
probably are as popular in Los Angeles
as either candidate for the presidency
will he sufficient to break
all previous attendance records.
While talking baseball, it is not amiss
to mention the fact that the Angels and
Beavers begin a six-game series this
afternoon at the Chutes. All past rec
ords indicate that the Beavers have
the Angel goat in some manner, as
they always have been able to mop up
with the pennant leaders, and Judge
McCredie is sending his team south
this time in the expectation that he will
be able to grab first place again during
the series. This Is where he is wrong,
according to Berry. This is one time
that the Angels will have their war
paint on, and they are going after those
beavers with eVer-- confidence in the
world that they will be able to show

transact it with the team in Los Ange-
les this week, but 1t generally is be-
| lieved that he has gone to Seattle and
Tacoma to arrange for the entry of
these cities into the Coast league next
season, and fans in league cities on the
coast will be much disappointed If a
| favorable announcement is not forth
coming when he returns. Seattle is
known to be weary of the Dugdale arti-
Gle or ball and is anxious to get back

Another evidence of the HARMONY,

FIGHT IN LIGHT
HEAVY DIVISION
KETCHELL MEETS THOMAS AT
CATCHWElGHTS
ABANDONED CLASS AND TITLE
MAY BE REVIVED
Native Son and Michigan Boy Scrap
Friday Night at Far Beyond
Championship Limit as
Regards Weight

There is a chance that two extraor-
be added to the list now in the game
when Stanley Ketchell and Joe Thomas
finish their scrap Friday night at
Frisco. BY the terms Of the articles
of agreement between them they are
to meet at catchweights and, accord
ing to their own statements. Thomas
will go into the ring at IT'S pounds,
while Ketchell will weigh five pounds
less.
Thomas never has been able to whip
Ketchell, although they have fought
three times. In every instance
Thomas has excused his defeat by
saying he has outgrown the middle
weight division and the task of making
the middleweight limit so weakened
him that he was unable to put up his
best fight. This time, however, he will
have no such excuse to offer, as he can
weigh a ton if he so desires, and
neither fighter will have anything to
look out for except general condition.
In the event that the battle ends
in draw or with honors so nearly
even that neither can claim decisive
victory, both will be listed as light
heavyweights, and they will be top
notchers in that division. Ketchell al
ready has signified his intention of
quitting the middle division after his
fights with Thomas and Papke. He is
growing like a bay tree and it has not
been so many months since he was
fighting as a welter. Now he is too
heavy to make the middleweight limit
without taking big chances of defeat.
1t will be good news to the fans If
both boys prove that they are top
notch light heavyweights. For years
ever since Jeffries retired, the two
heavy divisions have been shy Of good
material in that abundance that really
makes many championship battles pos
sible. Tommy Burns is growing at a
fast rate, too, and for long time will
outweigh Thomas and Ketchell. So ii
seems that there is a possibility of the
reorganization of the light heavyweight
division and that the championship
title again will be revived. In this di-
vision are such as Ketchell, Thomas,
O'Brien, Jack (Twin) Sullivan, Terry
Mustain and half a dozen others of
slightly less prominence.

coveries in that camp give promise of
eelipsing the remarkable showings

eomplishing astonishing results from
their block of ground, which is stu

they are employing the most primitive
of methods in extracting the gold.
The Rawhide Consolidated Gold
Placer Mining company is sinking a
shaft on company ground which adjoins
the Dead Mule and, although not down
to bed rock as yet, are getting s25 per
yard dirt. Judging from the depth of
their other shafts to bed rock, they
have still to sink ten feet before the
richest part of the pay streak, which
runs about four feet above bed rock,
is encountered.
The company, which might be called
the parent of Rawhide placers, has
