Bill Aldridge, the irrepressible kid
announces that the Venice Athletic
club will open for business again next

Sailor Sullivan are scheduled to FUR
nish a f1fteen-round main event. They
will meet at catch weights and a great
scrap is assured. Preliminaries over

O'Clock and will be ended in time for
all to catch the regular cars for Los
Angeles Bill is entitled to some con-
sideration by the fans and his show
should be well patronfzed. lie mas
good card and at the popular prices
which will prevail the fans will get
run for their money.
R. L. Thomas got back into the SELL
ing war game yesterday when he be-
came so impressed with the running
of w. 4. Overton that he claimed him
for $1025. This may mean selling
feud between Thomas and Applegate,
hut Thomas feels like saying let 'er go.
He can stand it If anybody can.
Animus and Montgomery were shipped
to Emeryville yesterday, and 1t is I'M
derstood that both will start in the
Waterhouse stakes. Walter jennings
will ship his entire stable to Emery
Vile next Saturday, as is his usual
practice each year The Emeryville
division of Lucky Baldwin's stable
arrived yesterday in charge of Trainer
Tom Cooke. and includes Lisaro, Del
Cruzador and others.
In the absence today of George OK
nard, official pticemaker, JACK Ben
nett may try his hand at arranging the
odds. He will be 23 years old next sat
urday afternoon, and never told lie
unless it was going two ways, ana
thinks he will be employed permanently
after the exhibit of today Jack is a
fine fellow, a good sportsman ana a
plunger when he thinks he is right,
but he has not been right in two years,
when it comes to placing his specula-
tive investments. BY the way, Ben
nett will celebrate his natal day next
Saturday afternoon Immediately after
the last race, and those who follow in
! his footsteps will profit, as he Will try
to win out the price of the banquet,
and he knows how to copper the ace
and get his aces and deuces down right.
With more of his type in the game
there would be no anti-racing legisla-
ton. Bennett is notorious for the fact
that his horses always run for the
money, and he never has sent horse
! to the post for a workout. He has been
/ on the turf since he was 10 years old
and never has been questioned by a
| judge regarding the running of his
| horses. There are many more like him.
but the few who are unlike him are
! the ones who are killing the game.
Jockey Mccarthy, who was one of the
injured jockeys in the juvenile race
Monday, is reported as improving, but
! the doctors say he will not ride again
this season. His left leg is broken just
above the ankle and it will require at
least two months for the injury, to heal
| sufficiently to permit him to ride. He
! is at Clara Barton hospital
At various times the query has floated
into this office regarding the disposi-
ton Of the money that the racing asso-
citation collects from Jockeys in fines
and yesterday I made an investigation
There are jockeys and other employees
at the track who have been injured al
this meeting. and who are in the hos
pitfalls of Los Angeles, and the weekly
bills that are paid by the association
| amount to quite a sum. Only yester-
| day / found that this fund was being
! put to a great service in caring for the
| sick and injured. and if the inqutring
ones could look over the books of the
association and see what the eXpendi-
lures amount to in excess Of the money
collected in fines, and realize the great
work that is being done by the associa-
ton in caring for the sick and injured
who are employed by 1t and who ride
horses and train them for living, the
query never would be repeated. All the
fines that have been levied this season
by the judges and the starter will not
make up for the sums paid out in seeing
that the sick and injured at the track
are properly provided for in the Los
Angeles hospitals. 1t is one Of the I'M
covered voluntary charities Of the as
ISOLATION in turning this fund into a
common account for the benefit of those
who offend against the jockey club
