LEONARD LAUDER EASILY DEFEATS
JACK REDMOND IN TEN FAST ROUNDS

and Will McDaniels, formerly his train
er, had a business disagreement yester-
day and parted company. Walsh prob
ably will re-employ Johnny Walker,
the Canadian horSeman, who is one of
the most capable trainers in the coun-
try. Mcdaniel succeeded Walker last
spring.
Two race horses, Credit Account and
Soudan, both of which have run at
Santa Anita, have been attacked with
the vaudeville fever and have quit rae
bought by the management of the Mas
ter Power company, which is at the
Mason this week, and they will do a
footlight stunt in future.
Willard Grass, formerly a turf editor
in the east and now connected with the
Thomas Jefferson company. which is
showing at the Majestic this week, was
at Santa Anita yesterday, renewing ac-
quaintances and gratifying the desire
to again see real race horses in action.
George Reed, who had charge of the
horses that r. l.. Thomas campaigned
this season at Emeryville, has arrived
and probably will remain in the sunny
southland until the close of the season.
George is popular with horsemen and
also is a most capable trainer.
Joe Jones, bookmaker and horseman,
was stung by the victory of Bellsnicker
yesterday in the first race and tried to
get even by bidding up the winner,
boosting the selling price from $500 tc
$SO5, at which figure Fred Kraft re-
tanned his old gelding.
Pete Williams is producing results
with the Oakwood stock ranch horses,
and this stable will bear watching by
the careful spectators in future The
stable owns some good ones, and they
are just beginning to run in the money.
BuckthOrn last Monday and Dora
Payne are recent instances. Pete is a
thorough horseman and certainly knows
his business.
Clarence English earned the decision
over Indian Joe Gregg at San Berdoc
last night and has proved his right to
more serious consideration locally than
he has had in the past. A bout be-
tween English and Howard Baker at
catchWeights would be a Jim dandy
drawing card and would furnish the
fans with plenty Of excitement and fun.
The news that the San Bernardino
city council had passed an ordinance
that will prohibit boxing contests in
that city, if the ordinance is approved
by the mayor, came as no surprise in
local fight circles. 1t had been pre-
dicted that the ordinance would pass
But it is understood that the mayor
will veto it and then it must be passed
over his veto or fail to become effective.
Private advices are, to the effect that
the bill will not become a law
Once more it is suggested that the
boxing clubs outside Of Los Angeles
make it a rule to sidestep Tuesday and
Friday nights when figuring upon their
dates. So frequently of late have these
outside clubs clashed in dates with
local clubs that the fans in this city
could not patronize them that some
agreement or understanding between
the various clubs looks to be about due.
Los Angeles clubs always have staged
their shows, except holiday entertain
ments, on these nights and are en-
titled to occupy them with their shows
Yet, local fans would be pleased to have
the opportunity of patronizing the out
side shows if they had no local at
traction to patronize.
Jack Bennett says that he did not
have a nickel bet on Uncle Jim when
this good sprinter won for him Mon
day Uncle Jim was not overlooked by
the sharpshooters, however, as the fact
that he had beaten Sir Martin, Select
man, Voodoo and other good ones, and
had run Fitz Herbert to a tight fit at
the wire at equal weights, made him
figure good enough to romp away from
the cheap bunch he had to beat Mon
day 1t was the first time this season
that he had run in such cheap com
pany and upon a fast track. At other
starts he was as good as 80 to l. but
no such price was laid against him
Monday.
