ATHLETICS
McCAREY COMPLETES HIS CARD OF
FORTY ROUNDS FOR TUESDAY NIGHT
GNlAE12 41g2H 80 ~ oss5PF os's1s56F

This is stake day at Santa Anita
park, and as the clouds were out in
full force last night, it is natural to ex-
pect fair day. The weather condi-
tions in Southern California change so
suddenly and without notice that a
clear sky and bright moonlight at
night is looked upon as a sure indica-
tlon OF rain the next day. Since the
moon was hidden behind the leaden
clouds last night, horsemen confidently
predicted that Old Sol would be on
duty today, unmolested and in su-
preme control. A card of exceptional
merit has been arranged by Secretary
Smith, and the feature event will be
one of the longest races of the season,
the Holland cup race, at two and
quarter miles. This race will be the
first of the big fixtures of the season
and will bring out 40 field fo excep-
tional class. Sa mHildreth has named
King James. the best long distance
horse in merica, and Montgomery as
his entry. Big Bow, winner of the
Norfolk last year; Milford, which ran
third in the Burns; Animus, Car,
Nadzu, Miss Officious and ]. c. Clem
make up the field in the overnight en-
tries; but track conditions today will
determine the size of the field. Seven
races have been arranged, and all are
well filled. In addition to the stake
race, the first and third races look
very attractive. Cotytto, the crcan
racer that has trimmed all the good
sprinters at Emeryville this season, will
start in the first race against Reforma-
tion. Lady Irma, Friend Harry, Sir
Alvescot, Harrigan and a bunch of high
class horses. In the third race. Ad-
riuche, Old Timer, Mar kAntony II.
Rockstone, Green Seal and Tony Bo-
nero are named to start. Rockstone is
an eastern horse of great class and
has been accustomed to running in far
better company. This will be a real
horse race, however, as the distance,
one mile, make sthe task of handicap
ping unusually difficult. The entire
card looks good, and if weather condi-
tions are favorable the biggest crowd
of the season is expected.
Izzy Ham was laying tops on Hasty
Agnes yesterday and taking all the
change handed him. His ground suuir-
rel demonstrated by telling him that all
the wise money was going in on HaSty.
Il don't care" he said. "She may
break a leg or be disqualified" That
may not be gameness, but Hasty did
not run one-two and Izzy kept the
change.
Jim Boden is back from Oakland and
his pockets did not seem to be un-
usually dinel with moss. Jim likes the
long ride and makes the trip regularly

Horsemen were notified yesterday
that entries in future would close at
1O:3O o'clock instead of IL o'clock, as
heretofore. So many races are being
carded each day that the clerks and
Secretary Smith have little time i'll
which to make up the lists for the fol-
lowing day, and the hour Of closing was
changed of necessity.
Voorhies-the man., not the horse
won his first game in the three-cushion
amateur championship billiard tourna-
ment last night when he won from
Davidson, so to 20. The game was one
Of the fastest of the tournament and
a match game, four-handed, followed,
in which Davidson and Clark decisive
ly trimmed Voorhies and Morse. The
tournament is drawing to a close and
has been so hard fought that return
match" all the way round is being dis
cussed and probably will be arranged.
Mike CTwin) Sullivan, who signs his
letters nowadays as the "WelterWeight
champion of the world writes from
Cambridge to inform the fans OF Los
Angeles that he still revels in the
claim of the world championship and
is willing to defend it any old time
anybody wants to dispute it. Mike is
still in the game, but Brother Jack
seems to have been sliding down the
toboggan for long time.
The condition of Lucky Baldwin
was announced as steadily improving
yesterday and word comes that he was
able to sit up for awhile and hold brief
conversation with his visitors, who, by
the way, were limited in number by
order of the physician. Despite the eff
forts of his friends to belittle his all
ment, it generally is understood that
he is in a critical condition yet and
that his death or complete recovery in
the next few hours would occasion no
great surprise among those who are
best informed.

THIRTY MILLION
CHRISTMAS STAMPS

tons throughout the United States,
devoted to the cause, in their hard up
hill fight against tuberculosis, the
Red Cross re-discovered the stamp.
In 1900, the Red Cross Christmas
stamps We're designed by the we'll
known artist, Howard Pyle, and their
sale brought $4,000 This money was
used to employ visiting nurses to aid
the tuberculosis poor; to institute
day camps where persons suffering
from the white plague could live out
Of doors; to carry on the educational
work in crowded, congested, tenement
districts, seeking to better sanitary
conditions and suppress possible con-
tagiOn, and to assist in providing
needy persons suffering from the dread
disease with the proper nourishment.
During the forthcoming Christmas
season it is hoped that $4,000 900
stamps may be sold. Thirty million
have been ordered as a starter.
The 1909 stamp will be printed in
two colors-holly leaves and scroll
work in green, and the crosses and
holly berries, red. 1t will be sold by
branch Red Cross societies through
out the country as well as by the anti
tuberculosis and charitable OrganiZa-
tons
This years design was selected by a
committee of artists from over 1900
drawings submitted in a prize compe
titiOn held by the society last May.
Last year the government granted the
Red Cross the privilege of selling
these stamps in the corridors of the
pOstoffices throughout the country, and
this year the same concession will
probably be given.

1.-THE Climax"

In telling how he discovered "The
by Edward Locke, which was pro-
claimed by the Metropolitan dramatic
critics to be as great, if not greater
success than "The Music Master,
and which will be seen here, Joseph NJ
Weber, the manager recited the case
of a theatrical manager friend of his
who vociferously maintained that the
trouble with the American stage is a
lack of good authors.
Il learned after a short converse
tion,' said Joe Weber, that he not
only had not encouraged any new au-
thors to send him a play to read, but
that when one did perchance manage
to get one into his office, he never took
the trouble to read it."
Il asked him why he was so indif
ferent, and he replied that it was no
use for him to read a play by new
author, because he would never risk
his money on an untried man.
And yet this manager did not seem
to realize that it is men of his type
who are doing more to stamp out fresh
endeavors than anything else.
Il have made it a point" continued
Mr. Weber, Never to miss an opportu-
nifty to read or investigate a new play,
no matter who the author is. And it
brought me at last the reward in THE
Climax" l am so sure of its sue
cess that l wouldn't take $50,00000 for
it today"

"The Third Degree"

A story bearing an unusual charm
and revealing dramatic and literary
adroitness far beyond the average is
told by Charles Klein In THE Third
Degree" his acknowledged master
piece. which comes to the Keylor
Grand in the near future under the
direction of Henry B. Harris.
1.-The Third Degree" is fine human
drama in which love and a womans
devotion serve as a medium for the
introduction and happy treatment of
an evil existing in our modern society
that is nothing short of savage and
brutal-"the police third degree" The
numerous incidents of the play are
gripping in their intensity; the charac-
tesr furnish variety Of personalities
and aspects familiar to playgoers and
newspaper readers, while the dialogue
at times really rises to heights that
thrill.
THE cast which will present this
great and interesting drama here is
composed of such well-known artists
as Paul Everton, Fernando Eliscu, E.
A. Eberle, Malcolm Duncan, Irene
Oshier, Alfred Moore, T. l.. Coleman,
H. H. Forseman, Francis Bonn, Ralph
Ramsey and A. H. Summons.
