HIGHTY-THREE horses are named
H to start in the seven races at
- Santa Anita this afternoon, max
ing almost an average of twelve to the
race. Only an ordinary card is the
offering, but the fact that nearly all
the starters named are horses of es-
tablished form makes the prospect for
formful performances very good. In
these days of hard times on the turf,
Secretary Smith is giving all classes or
horsemen a chance to win a purse,
and is being highly commended on ali
sides for his thoughtfulness. The
babv race has sixteen starters named
in the overnights the fourth race has
fifteen, and the third and fifth races
have fourteen starters each. rms
means big fields, despite the usual
scratches, and lively speculation.
Manager w. W. Finn of the Utah
Racing association, which Will hold
forty-day meeting at Salt Lake CITY,
beginning May %, will go to Frisco
tomorrow night on business connected
with the meeting. Finn has arranged
to have the conditions of the three
stake events to be run at the meeting
published and distributed among
horsemen this week, and entries VIII
omen in a few days and close May l0.
Responses from horsemen are so nu-
merous that it already is assured that
fully 500 horses will race at the meet
ing. and among them will be many OF
the handicap horses now running at
santa Anita. Finn sticks by his orig
inal statement that he will furnish the
people of Salt Lake City with meet
ing of high class in every respect and,
now that he has almost completed ms
list Of officials who will be in charge OF
the meeting, and horsemen have APP
proved the selections, it looks like 1t
will be only a question of how many
horses can be accommodated at the
track.
Freddie Maier was able to be out
Yesterday and attend the game at the
Chutes. His improvement is the source
of much satisfaction to his big army
of friends in Los Angeles, who had
begun to fear that he was in a bad
way. Freddie says You can't kill a
good man."
Jim Blute said last night that he had
designs upon the Colin stakes, the
2-year-old event that will be the maj
stake feature of the Santa Anita meet
ing. and will be run Saturday. Butte

there will be nearly a dozen other
starters. the race will be a real horse
race from barrier to wire, and will pc
the cIassiest 2-year-old event ever raced
in the west. Track conditions will gov
ern the number of starters. OF course,
but with fast track. racegoers Will

Gold Heart, formerly owned by r.
r. Carman, was claimed out of the
sixth race yesterday by Parker & Nc
Donald for $725. Gold Heart is no.
toriously bad breaker being so unruly
that he has to be led to the post and
then becomes almost unmanageable. so
Carman really is not grieving any, al
though his Golden Garter gelding Is
possessed of a rare turn of speed.

Andy Blaketey shipped his stable

string of horses has been given many
rides up and down the coast this sea-

purses. He will be among the first to
hit the train for the big town in few
weeks.
News that George Memsic and Frank
Picato will meet in a return engage
ment at ten ROUNDS came as pleasant
surprise for the vans yesterday. Their
previous bout was so unsatisfactory to
all concerned that a return engage
ment seems necessary to settle the
question of their individual suprem-
acy. McCarey will stage the bout
within the next three or four weeks.
Baseball fans should take especial
notice of the fact that the attendance
yesterday at the Angel-Beaver game
was not up to expectations, nor within
a big percentage of what it should have
been. Continuous baseball in future
depends upon the support extended the
clubs, and the fans should crafty
their enthusiasm by tickling the

PERFECT PLANS FOR
ANTl-ClGARETTE MEET
Promoters Limit to Three Number OF
Events Any Boy Can Enter,
and Add Baseball
Throw

Final plans have been made for the
Pasadena Y. NJ. c. A. grammar school
anti-cigarette track and field meet
May l is selected for the day OF the
meet Several changes We're adopted
in the schedule of events and new
events were added. Some of the most
strenuous were cut out.
The quarter-mile has been dropped
entirely and the half-mile restricted
to boys over 16s The most important
step was the decision of the athletic
committee to limit To three the num-
Der of events that any boy should en-
ter. not more than two track events
and one field event.
The reason for this is that 1T is not
considered safe by the best authorities
to allow boys of the grammar school
age to enter in too many events. The
effect of the ruling will be to increase
the number of entries thus giving all
the schools a more equal opportunity.
The new events are for both the
Younger and older boys. baseball
throw has been introduced this year
and a special relay race added. 1t
was decided that any athlete entering
in the relay race will not be able to
participate in any other event.

Manufacturers Contest Association
WthhoIds Support Because It
Will Encourage Violations
of Speed Laws

NEW YORK, March 31.-At a meet
ing here yesterday the Manufacturers
Contest association adopted resolutions
in which 1t was decided not to lend the
support of the automobile managers to
the New YorkSeattle race, which is to
be held in connection with the Alaska
Yukon-Pacific exposition in Seattle.
The objection raised by the manufac-
turers Is based on the fact that the
entry blanks characterized the contest
as a "race," thereby encouraging the
violation of the various speed restric-
lions and ordinances in force in the
great majority of states to be trav-
ersed by the contestants.
There is no doubt, however. that the
transcontinental event will be held.

Stroud Beats
David Harum
Man Who Skinned Maybray Gang Buys
Auto for $50 and Trades for
Kansas Farm.

For trading, T. F. Stroud of r. r. Stroud
e. Co, has David Harum backed off the
board.
His latest trade is that of an automobile
for a farm in Kansas. Stroud did not see
the farm before the trade nor did the
farmer see the automobile.
Stroud, be II remembered, is the man
who not only eluded the clutches of the
Maybray swindlers. but actually bumped
them at their own game.
Stroud was In Chicago last fall walking
down Michigan avenue when a novice came
webblirg along with his automobile, and
Just as he was in front of Stroud the ma
cline got away from him, hit the curb
and went to pieces.
"I'd like to get $50 for that machine.
said the owner in anger.
You're on said Stroud, and handed
over the $50.
Stroud had the machine taken to a
garage and fixed up, the whole thing cost
ms him about $3.50,
While at the Merchants hotel the other
Gay a man was heerd to remark, Il would
like TO trade my farm in Kansas for an
automobile"
You're on said Stroud, who was stand.
ing in the group,
The trade was made. The only question
asked was one by Stroud as to whether
tho man had a title TO the farm. and one
by the man, would the run.
