COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL
BALL SEASON OPENS
FIRST GAMES IN LEAGUE TO BE
PLAYED TODAY
Prediction Is Made That Pennant Will
Go to Some Suburban Aggreea-
ton Because Of Better
Players

The first series Of games Of the Los Angeles
county high school baseball league will open
this afternoon at the various diamonds in
Southern California. Owing to the muddy
condition of the grounds at Hollywood the
game between the Los Angeles high school
and Hollywood has been postponed until i
later date.
The South Pasadena high school club will
play Whittier college at the South Pasadena
diamond.
The Throop institute of Pasadena will try
conclusions with the Pasadena high school
club at the Crown City diamond. This game
will be called at 2:S0 o'clock.
Polytechnic high schools baseball squad
the Seaside team. This game should develop
into a strongly contested battle, as both
schools have shown some fast material in
practice work.
At the Santa Monica high school diamond
the Harvard military team of Los Angeles
will try conclusions in their first league game
of the season.
The amateur dopesters predict that some
out-of-town high school team viii carry away
first honors in the league this year. as much
of the Los Angeles high school material has
been weak in pitching, while the suburban
teams have strengthened their Lineup with
second-year students
: Delhi, pitcher for the Santa Monica high
school, and Lincoln, for the Hollywood aggre-
cation, are about the fastest twirlers in the
league this year. 1t is said that Delhi has
been approached by Happy Hogan of the
Vernon team in the Pacific Coast league team
to pitch for that club.

GREAT CLASS IN
RICH HANDICAP
VALUABLE SOUTHERN STAKES
TO BE RUN TODAY
HAS NET VALUE OF 5000 TO
WINNING STABLE
Dorante and King James Due to Have
Their Burns Struggle Over Again.
Sun May Make Track Only
Slow for Big Event

The richest turf prize that ever was raced
for in Southern California will be the pre-
mier attraction this afternoon at Santa
Anita, when field of highest class will try
for the $500 guaranteed purse offered in
the California handicap. This handicap
rapks second only to the Burns in value and
VIII attract classier field than that which
went after the big classic at EmeryviIle this
season.
Dorante, which ran King James to a head
finish in the Burns has been shipped to
Santa Anita to start in this event and
probably will be held at odds of favoritism
the Hildreth entry. Dorante was due
to arrive yesterday morning, but a washout
upstate delayed his arrival and he will be
handicapped by the short time that he will
be off the previous to going to the post
He is expected to get in this morning and
has been named in the overnights as a
starter.
Only nine starters were declared in yes
terday, but it was announced last night that
in all probability Big Chief and Car will
be added today. Hildreth has King James
and Montgomery as his candidates and one.
and probably both, will go to the post. Far
West Maltbie, Old Timer, Miss Sain and
Light Wool complete the list of starters
named over night.
This event is at a mile and quarter and
has a guaranteed value of $780, of which
sum the winner Will receive $4,000 This
great net value to the winner is sufficient
to induce the owners of horses that have a
chance to win to sSnd them to the post.
over a pasteboard track 1t was predicted
that new world record would be set for the
distance, but the heavy and almost continu-
rains recently have made the going so
Heavy that even under the most favorable
conditions the track will not be better than
slow this afternoon. The rains have packed
the track so that the sun can dry it out
considerably, but not enough to make. it
fast. The record crowd of any local racing
season is anticipated in the event of favor
able weather conditions.

TUESDAY CARD
IS ATTRACTIVE
M'CAREY COMPLETES PRO-
GRAH FOR NEXT WEEK
SEVEN BOUTS AND FORTY
ROUNDS ARE ARRANGED
Leonard Lauder and Jack Redmond
Billed in Windup, and Kid Solo
mon and Fred Corhett Meet
in Semi-FinaIs

One of the best popular price boxing cards
the Pacific Athletic club has arranged this sea-
sen was completed yesterday for next Tuesday
evening and the fans are assured of plenty Of
action during the forty rounds Of boxing which
are scheduled The full card is as follows
Leonard Lauder VS.. Jack Redmond, 10 rounds.
Kid Solomon VS.. Fred Corbett, rounds.
Dwight Van VS.. Young Kaufman, rounds.
Martin Hefron VS.. Young Turner rounds.
Jap Oyama VS.. Dan Cullen, 4 rounds.
Ed Higuar vs. Johnny Dunn, rounds.
Mike Fusco vs. Johnny Herrera, rounds.
Much discussion has been aroused already re-
garding the respective merits of the principals
Of the two ten-round bouts Lauder has fought
creditaby in Los Angeles and San Pedro and
his showing with Frank Picato stamped hlm
as one of the best second grade Hghtwelghts.
Redmond has fought splendid battles IN
this city, his bout with Fred Corbett giving
the fans a good line on his abilities. II ne
should beat Lauder decisively he would be in
the same class as Picato and Memsie and he
will be able to get match with some OF the
best boys in the division.
Kid Solomon is training in real earnest for
his scrap with Fred Corbett, and although he
will be giving away several pounds he hopes
to be back in his oldtime form in order TO give
the fans a touch Of his scientific DASH HIS
career after his re-entry into the ring VIII be
watched with interest and If he makes good
he will have all kinds of opportunities thrust
at him. Wolgast has promised to meet the win
five or six pounds.
In the four-round bouts the matchmaker has
brought out some of the toughest boys in the
various divisions and a repetition Of the Whirl-
wind contests Of last week is assured for Tues
day evening. Martin Hefron is a boy of con-
siderable class and he has consented to go on
for four rounds with Turner to convince the
fans that he is there with the goods and that
his knockout of Eddie Menney was no fiul1e.
In Turner he has a tough featherweight op-
ponent who has been anxious to meet boys of
the better class, and he welcomes the advent
of Hefron The contest should be one of the
fastest battles which the short session affairs
have given the sports.
Dwight Van and Young Kaufman have de-
cided to go at it again and settle once and for
all the question OF superiority between them.
The last time the two met Kaufman scored
a knockout in the early rounds, but Van
claimed that the blow was chance wallop and
that Kaufman could not do the act again. AS
the lads weigh 165 pounds apiece, there will be
a lively time when they meet.
Jap Oyama makes his bow after a rest of two
months and he will meet Dan Cullen, who
made such a good showing against Chester
Moss last week. Cullen viii be several pounds
lighter than the JAP but he is willing to
shoulder this handicap in order to convince the
fans that he is possessed of class.
