.WRESTLE FOR
CHAMPIONSHIP
BOWDEN AND ISAACS READY
FOR THEIR BOUT
DATED FOR SATURDAY NIGHT AT
L. A. A. C. ANNEX
Winner Gets Title of Amateur Middle
weight Champion of Southern Cali
fornia--Boxing Bouts Also on
the Schedule

The thousands of people who are ex-
pected to Journey to Venice next Satur-
day to witness the excellent athletic
carnival that is being arranged under
the auspices of the Los Angeles Ath-
letic club may have the rare oppor-
tunity of witnessing the longest Wrest-
ling bout that ever was pulled OH IN
Southern California, as the bout pe-
tween Frank Bowden of the Olympic
club of San Francisco ana George
Isaacs of the Los Angeles Athletic clup
for the title of amateur middIeWelgnt
champion wrestler Of Southern Callfor-
MIA, which the latter now holds, VIII
be restricted by no time limit. Al
though the bout will be pulled off under
the rules of the A. A. u, the decision
will be given on two out of three rams;
The men will be allowed to wrestle all
night, If necessary, providing neither
has scored the decisive fall. This mover
plan will add much more zest TO the
whole affair and tend to lengthen the
bout, in addition to testing the staying
qualities of each contestant.
Charlie Eyton, secretary of the Los
Angeles Athletic club, has consented TO
referee the bout, and In doing SO mas
dispelled any anxiety that may nave
arisen in the minds of the participants
as to the qualifications of the referee.
Isaacs probably will wind up his train
ing today, and is reported to be In the
best of condition. Most of his WORK
has been with Physical Instructor Al
TreIoar. who is an expert wrestler
Rowden has done most of his training
at Sierra Madre, where he has been
working out with many good local men,
and the general report OF those who
have seen him in his workouts is to the
effect that Isaacs has in him a worthy
opponent
The wrestling match will be proceed
ed bv a four-round boxing contest be-
tween John Hugo and Charles Bosche
OF the Los Angeles Athletic club. AL
though Hugo has the reputation of be-
ing the 125-pound amateur champion
of Southern California, Boscho seems
to be the favorite. The latter has been
working hard for the bout and has the
advantage of the superior teaching OF
Boxing Instructor Dewitt c. Van Court
of the Los Angeles Athletic club, and
also has spared almost daily with
Samuel Coulter, amateur lightweight
champion boxer of Southern California,
who also is a member of the club.
Hugo will be seconded on the night
of the bout by his father and Ivan
Kahn, the latter a popular and clever
amateur boxer of Los Angeles. Bosche
| has not vet announced whom his sec
onds will be, but 1t is presumed that
| thew will be chosen from among the
club members or left to Boxing In
structor Van Court.
Many other interesting sporting
events will be arranged by Assistant
Secretary Henderson, who is arrang-
| ing the program, and it is probable
that the crowds will witness at least
a little bit of what the members of the
Los Angeles Athletic club are capable
of producing. Following this excellent
| athletic carnival, which will be pulled
] off in the midway at Venice, the club

to open the meeting at Santa Anita
several days earlier than last season,
probably month or more earlier, anu
as the stake book must be issuei at
once it will be necessary for the direc-
tors to make decision regarding the
number and value OF the stakes Wltu-
out delay.
While only probabilities can be dis
cussed in advance of actual inforina-
ton regarding the changes made 1t
looks reasonably certain that BALDWIN
has won his fight against Col. tialii-
ilton and in all probability Joe murphy
has been selected as his successor.
Murphy is the most prominent can
tdidate for the appointment and Is the
best man available for the position at
this time, unless one of the metropon-
tan race track judges has been pre-
vailed upon to come to the coast Tor
the meeting.
1t hardly is probable that Or. Gard
ner has been superseded in his oftlce
as manager, although Baldwin also mas
been inclined to oppose his reappoint-
ment DR.. Gardner's personal popular
ity with horsemen and racing OFFICIALS
everywhere makes him more valuable
in that position than the average man
available for the appointment as his
successor.
Ed Cole also is expected to be among
those absent next season, but he
friendship of Holland, the man OF
money in the association, may be suf-
ficient to enable Cole to retain his po-
sition, although this influence alone Is
able to turn this trick.
President Tom Williams will control
the appointment of the starters and i
he has decided to continue the arrange
ment whereby Hoffman and Dwyer are
to be retained, as in former seasons,
the local association will accept the
situation and permit the pair to serve.
although Hoffman is decidedly unpop-
| ular with horsemen, and If he should
| be let out there would be little or no
mourning in those ranks.
| The reticence of the directors may
keep the public in ignorance of the
| changes made until after the directors
meeting, but it seems reasonably GER
| tain now that new presiding judge
will be on duty next November and
there is an excellent probability that
a new Judiciary will be appointed all
| the way round 1t also Is most prob
able that the number and value of the
stakes will be increased and rumor y

be raised to a uniform scale of $500

NEWS AND NOTES OF THE DIAMOND

Seals on account of an injured arm.
Manager George M. Ward of the
Edison team stated yesterday that
Harry Lelande had consented to act
as president of the newly organized
California Winter league and that Red
Perkins would be selected as recording
secretary of the league. Ward also
stated that Lawrence Fernandez, at
the last meeting Of the league officials,
was appointed regular indicator man
Of the California Summer league in
the place OF Boyle, who has been UNI
piring most of the games at Athletic
park.
The Dyas-Clines baseball team has
accepted the challenge of the San
Pedro club for a game at Foint Firmin
on Labor day.
The members of the City and Valley
leagues are requested to be more
prompt in sending in their 1ineups for
publication in the Friday and Sunday
Herald.
Although a little late, the manager
of the Woodill and Hulse ball team
kicks in with his score of last Sunday
in the Valley league to the effect that
his club defeated the Pastimes by the
score Of to 5.
Because he jumped through mirror
while having a rarebit dream Eddie
Shortall, former second baseman of the
Scranton team, who now is holding
down the same position for the Syra-
cuse Stars of the New York State
league, is apt to be out of the game
the rest of the season. Shortall, while

and with the score a tie his run was
needed to win the game, and he
bumped into the mirror.
Jimmy Whalen is pitching great ball

oped a curve ball. OF urse I am

| league, and when right can not be
beat in bending 'em over.
| There is talk of the State league en-
| tering organized ball next year. If

consent of the Pacific Coast league di-
rectors, which claims most Of the terri
| tory now claimed by the former. 1t
will be recalled that cities like Sacra-
mento, Stockton and San Jose were
awarded to the senior organization a
year or so ago. and that the Northern
| league now is holding them in out
lawry. 1t was stated in Los Angeles
yesterday that the Pacific Coast league
! would offer no objection to the league
being admitted as class G or D, al
though allowing it to retain it's pres
ent territory, even Sacramento. 1t
would be possible that the directors
would so arrange the schedule that it
would not be in conflict with the Pa
ciflc Coast league games. If the
Northern league is made regular, ="
1t would mean that the salary list
would be reduced considerably.

RACING BOARD
MAKES CHANGES
DIRECTORS MEET INFORMALLY y
IN NEW YORK
CALL MEETING IN LOS ANGELES
FOR SEPTEMBER IA
Or. J. S. Gardner TeIegraphs from
East That Action of Stockholders
VIII Not Be Made Public
Until That Time
by JAY DAVIDSON

Responding to a telegraphic query
regarding the results of the meeting
in New York of four of the directors of
the Los Angeles Racing. association,
held Tuesday DIR. ]. S. Gardner, man
ager of the Santa Anita race track,
says that a meeting of the direct 'rs
will be held in Los Angeles one week
\ from next Monday in all probability,
and that at that meeting the directors
will confirm officially the changes
agreed upon in the official lineup at
the winter meeting at the Arcadia
track.
This telegram can be construed only
in one way, in the absence of absolute
evidence to the contrary, and that Is
to the effect that changes will be maio
in the, official family for next season.
Information to the effect that Barney
Echreiber, George Rose, j. l.. Holland
and DR.. Gardner had held an informal
and unofficial meeting Tuesday at the
Astor house in New York to discuss
probable chances, increase in stake Of
ferings and other matters to be acted
upon at the directors meeting TO be
held in Los Angeles at later date,
came in a roundabout way and Dr.
Gardner was asked by telegraph IL
supply whatever Information that
could be given out.
His reply indicates that changes were
to make public the effect of these
changes or supply the pames of those
affected until their action is given the
stamp of official approval, which can
not be had until the directors meet
here September IA. However, Pose
Schneider, Holland and Gardner con-
troll the majority stock of the corpor-
alton and whatever they have agreed
upon in the matter of changes and ap-
pointments really is official ana viii
be made so when the directors meet
thus making the directors meeting z
mere formality In officially decla.;1l
vacancies and approving appointments
of successors to the officials removed
or who have resigned.
This action was forecast in these
columns last June, when the news
leaked out that Col. A. w. Hamilton
would not be reappointed as presiding
Judge. Rose came to Los Angeles K
consult with Lucky Baldwin ana i'm
mediately went east. saying that ~
would meet Schneider, Holland ant
Gardner in New York later in the sea
son and they would talk over probable
changes. "a
1t has been evident for long tim,
that Col. Hamilton would not be re
appointed as presiding judge, but wher
asked about this matter Rose said uha
he could make no positive Statement
until he had consulted With the )tne,
directors, but added that in the even
Col. Hamilton was not reappointed h,
would be given some other official DO
sition, probably that of steward.
The telegram from DR.. Gardner In
dicates that he and the other Director
will come to Los Angeles in q few
days. as the meeting to be held Septem
ber IA was not expected to be hel,
until In October. However, 1t probabi.
is true that the directors have decides
