arranged is featured by the san Gas

stake event the Avalon handicap will

other attractive races have been ar

There are eight starters named in
the overnights for the San Gabriel
stakes, including the classiest Juveniles
of the season. Sureget, which does
not appear in the overnights, will be
an added starter and one or two others
may be added before post time. These
nine youngsters assure that the event
will be the greatest baby stake race

Among the best known fishes fitted

gymnotus family is found off our coast
but this species is not equipped with
as much dynamic force as the southern
fish.
The real, genuine, blown in the bot

extend nearly the whole length of the
body. The current flows from forward
to rear and, strange to say, it passes
through the creatures brain. Some of
them grow to the length of six feet or
more, and are capable of killing a large
animal at one discharge of their bat

The thunder fish. malapterurus, a
specie resembling the catfish, is a ma

batteries. The torpedo or electric ray,
such as was caught at Santa Monica

Rather an ordinary card was run of
yesterday afternoon at Santa Anita
park and good things We're more
plentiful. and slightly less successful,
than usually is the case when selling
platers have their innings. Despite the
poor class of the horses engaged in
six of the seven events. the public
choices kept up their winning average
and the talent had good day in the
guessing contests with the bookies.
The feature of the card was the
fourth race at nine furlongs, which
was won by Norbitt in easy fashion,
just as he figured to do. Old Timer
was made an odds-on favorite solely
on suspicion, and while he had all
tended and Norbitt had no difficulty
whatever in getting the capital prize.
Green Seal set the pace to the back
stretch, when Old Timer and Norbitt
hooked up and fought 1t out to the
paddock entrance. Here Butwell let

breezed away from Old Timer. Green
Seal hung on for the show money.
Immediately after the start, Powers,
on Green Seal, cut across the field
and knocked Tony Bonero down. Gull

and sustained fractures of two or
three ribs and was sent to the Clara

Young McGovern and Kid Cleveland
went on for a six-round bout as the
third number on the program. They
fought a draw in their previous argu-
ment. The black boy had a fair lead
in the first round by clever boxing and
footwork, which enabled him to avoid
McGoVerns rushes and counter with
right and left. which he shot to the
head quickly in each close mixup. The
second round was about an even break,
McGovern warming up enough to mix
it on his own account, and both boys
walloped effectively to head and jaw.
The third was another even round, Nc
Govern trying out his PUSHES, but al
ways finding Cleveland there to counter
effectively anything that McGovern
had to offer. McGovern had a shade
in the fourth round, slamming some
stiff rights to the wind and jaw and
putting enough straight ones to the
face to start blood from the ngro's
mouth. McGovern gave Cleveland
severe beating in the fifth, after Cleve-
land had tried to rough 1t and wrestle.
McGovern slammed several hard rights
to the jaw and again had the negro
bleeding at the mouth. This was the
best round of the fight. McGovern
had a good lead at the end of the sixth
round and won the decision beyond all
question. His rough house tactics took
all the fight out of Cleveland in the
last three rounds.
Hefron Stops Turner
The seni-windup was scheduled as a
ten-round bout between Martin Heron
of New York and Young Turner the
local rough house bantam. Much inter-
est was manifested in this bout owing
to the great fight Young Turner put
up with frankie Sullivan recently ana
the great record of Heron. frankie
Sullivan challenged the winner.
Hebron rushed clear across the ring
and caught Turner before the latter
had left his corner. Throughout the
round Hefron administered severe pun
ishment and in the last minute he
crossed with his right to the jaw,
dropping Turner for the count of five.
HERON showed remarkable cleverness,
punch and a cool head throughout.
The end came in the second round,
after a brief and very furious miXup,
Heron catching Turner with short
arm hook to the jaw and as Turner
was falling he hooked another to the
jaw. Then Hefron turned and walked
to his corner and shook hands with his
manager while Referee Blake was
counting Turner out, knowing that
Turner was unable to get up within
the ten seconds.
without delay the main event scrap
pers, Billy Papke and Jim Flynn, en-
tered the ring. Papke was first in the
ring and was accompanied by Tom
Jones, Ed Papke, Bill Aldridge, Jack
Burns and Charlie White, his seconds.
Flynn was seconded by Danny Web
