BENEFIT SOCCER AT
FIESTA PARK SUNDAY
RANGERS AND THISTLES WILL
HELP NEEDY PLAYER
Much Interest Being Taken in Asso-
citation Game and Enthusiasts
Predict a Good
Season

The Thistle and Ranger soccer foot
ball teams will meet at Fiesta park
Sunday afternoon in a benefit game
for a needy sportsman among their
number.
The attraction will be a double header
and the second elevens of the two clubs
will mingle in the preliminary contest.
Enthusiasm for the association style of
football is increasing with every game
and each Sunday sees a larger crowd
at the Fiesta field, where the socoerites
play weekly.
The Rangers defeated a picked team
last Sunday in a fast game and ex-
pect to get the best of the Thistles
this week. The Ranger team, although
but recently organized, Is making a
good showing against the older and
more experienced clubs, and before the
season is ended the Rangers expect to
lead the list of teams In the league.
The Los Angeles eleven will reorgan-
ize this week and new equipment for
the players will be purchased. Fiesta
park has been overhauled and put in
splendid shape for the sport, and when
the regular schedule commences the
four teams will put up stiff fight for
the local championship.
A soccer club lately organized at
Santa Barbara has asked admittance
to the league, and if the arrangements
can be made intercity games win be
played

MUDLARKS TO
HAVE INNING
FIVE SELLING RACES CARDED
FOR TODAY
More Class to First Race Than Any on
Program, Botanist Being Among
Those Entered 10
Start
BY IRVING b. CLEMENT

Dig Down deep into your dope books
and pick out the mudlarks, as the
track will be heavy today, and Sec
retar.' Smith has arranged a fair card,
which consists OF five selling races and
a purse affair. There are plenty Of
mudders entered, but the anti-up Or
dinance prohibits me from picking
them out for you, SO l will not call the
turn Are you jerry?
The first race is the only one Of the
day that has any class to 1t ana Such
good ones as Botanist. Stray, Illusion
Kirkdeld Belle and Renshaw will start
They should furnish good keen sport
and there should be close finish
The second race is a three -furlong
dash and it is to be hoped that they
all get a good start, as it is a pretty
sight to see large field of two-year-
oIds come pattering through the
stretch. J. j. Walsh starts his good
flly Queen Grove. J. S. Rothert VIII
send Calera to the post, the Pasadena
Stables candidate is Bertha and
among the others that go are Annie
Wells and Miniature. which should
make it a pretty race.
A mixed lot is carded to start IN the
third race and it is a poor bunch, as
none has ever earned brackets at santa
Anita, although several came close to
it on different occasions. The weights
assigned are very light and it should
be a genuine old "hoss race all the
way, as such good selling platers as
Master Lester, Commida, Arragon and
Lady Kitty NAV face the barrier
Bad Bunch in Fourth
A bad bunch is in the fourth race
and make up such a poor lot that more
pleasure may be had by sitting IN the
stand TO watch them sling mud at each
other. Head Dance Azora, Gentle
Harry Josie S. and pretty nearly
every one in the race is fed with
pail of mud each day. as they are all
nuts"
Another mile race is on for the fifth
and it has the limit number of horses
entered. but as they will start out of
the chute a good break may be looked
for and it will probably be nice
contest, where both speed and stamina
will tell. Those possessing these quail
tiles are Alma Boy. Escamado, Don
Hart. BAIL, Alice Carey and others too
numerous to mention.
Three -year-oldS are asked to go SIX
and a half furlongs in the sixth num-
ber on the card and some of them
will be looking for a feather bed in
the stretch. so as to lie odwn from
fatigue. Others can run all day long
and Harvel L. c. Widrig, Whidden,
Chief Desmond and Grindstone are
never tired at the end of their journeys.

CITY WILL PUT IDLE
MEN TO WORK RAPIDLY
OFFICIALS GIVE PREFERENCE TO
HEADS OF FAMILIES
Street, Park and Water Departments
Dividing Their Funds to Make
Them Do the Most
Good

Mayor Harper and several of the
councilmen are considering further
plans for putting unemployed men at
work in the streets and parks by a sys-
tenn of alternating on halliday jobs at
81 a half day.
Councilman Lyon yesterday visited
the city officials to push along such
plan.
Superintendent William Mulholland of
the water department yesterday issued
an order to hi; foremen on this subject
so that men with families should get
the greatest benefits. This order reads:
In view Of the fact that many
worthy men, residents of Los An
geles and with homes and families
here, are seeking employment,
would suggest that care be taken
i'm the selection of your forces with
the object III giving such men the
preference on our work, provided
always of course, that they are
.able-bodied and competent to per-
form efficiently the labor required
of them.
l request that you investigate
carefully the forces now under your
charge in order to eliminate. so far
as possible, The men whose domestic
circumstances do not prevent them
from seeking employment elsewhere,
and to replace them by others who
have greater right to employment
in the city's service.

Billowy and Balolee had the honor of
making the running in the closing num-

folded her tent and crawled back to
the third hole, Brawney Lad sneaking

was one of the good things, having his
top price of 80 to 1 cut in half at the

PARK COMMISSIONERS
SOLVE LOT TROUBLES

Forty-ninth Street Property Owners
VIII. Get Better Frontage as
Result of Adjust
ment

Park commissioners escorted Mayor
Harper to the South park neighborhood
yesterday to note the conditions that
have grown out of the failure of the
city years ago to acquire a tract along
side the park.
The park line is separated from pri-
vate holdings by ten-foot granitoid
sidewalk.
Several houses have been built in
this narrow strip, with frontage to-
wards the park. This leaves the rear
sheds facing or extending to Forty
ninth street
Owners on Forty-ninth street object
to facing the sheds naturally, and re-
lief is now asked for
The strip is 1874 feet deep and about
four city blocks in length along the
park, and some years ago could have
been had for sic, 900. 1t is worth nearer
100000 now
Commissioner William Humphreys
suggested that all strip lot and house
owners agree to take down their sheds
about three are built-make their rear
yards as ornate as their front yards
and thus acquire a double frontage or
the park and on Forty-ninth street.
This seemed to be a popular solution
With all concerned
Councilman Yonkin urged that the
ten-foot sidewalk be torn up and a
fence be erected to mark the park
boundary, but the commissioners iob-
iected to this.
The board of public works will be
asked to approve the Humphrey sug-
gestion as being the wish of the prop
erty owners.
