vox PoPuLl PROVES HE is MANY
POUNDS BEST
Race Won in Slow Time and Old Son
of Voter Makes Up Much Ground
and Would Have Won in
Another Sixteenth
BY JAY DAVIDSON

The feature of an ordinary card yes
terday at Santa Anita park was the
Playa del Rey handicap at one mile,
and, according to what seems to be
custom at the Arcadia course, an un-
foreseen incident had to mar it's run
ming. When the barrier lifted Dominus
Aroi was on his stride, flying away
from a fiatfooted field, and the event
practically was presented to him from
that moment Although disliking the
route, Dominus, with his extreme speed,
opened a gap of ridiculous length be-
fore the others had started to running,
and, although he was backing up With
nearly the same extreme speed when
nearing the wire, the start enabled him
to win.
AS the race was run Dominus was
best. With an equal chance Vox Pop
uli would have won ina common romp.
Standing f1atfooted when the ribbon
slipped aloft and Dominus Aroi was on
his way, Vox Populi, probably the
most popular horse at the track, had
only the small matter of fifteen lengths
as a handicap to overcome. He was not
equal to the occasion, but had the race
been over a route a sixteenth farther
he would have been an easy winner.
He was overhaulihg Dominus at every
lump. Dominus was eight lengths in
front at the halt and three-quarters,
according to the official form chart,
but anybody who witnessed the race
will bear witness to the fact that he
never was less than dozen lengths
ahead of his nearest competitor until
after turning into the stretch.
Vox was last away from the post and

JOHNSON SAYS HE HAD NO
OFFER TO LAY DOWN TO BURNS

VANCOUVER, B. C., March 1o.-In
an interview today regarding the
Burns fight Jack Johnson, the heavy
weight champion, says he had received
no proposition to lay down to Burns,
but he added:
II know, though. that Referee Nc
Intosh was supposed to be fixed TO
give Burns all he could. They did not
understand my method of training"
said Johnson in explaining the diff
culties he had in getting on with the
Australians.
IT used to get up at o'clock in the
morning, eat an orange or some other
fruit and then go on the road. By
o'clock 1 had done all my work. and
the rest of the time / would spend
driving about in my car. AS the peo-
pie did not see me do my training they
thought I was not doing any. Then,
a couple of days before the fight.
went out with party of friends and
had a glass of wine, and the report
was circulated that I was drunk. Why.
I never drink to excess at any time,
and least of all when training. but 1t
just goes to show how I got in bad.
"I can see nothing TO 1t but that
Johnson will be champion for as many
years as Jeffrfes held the title. at any
rate" said Sam Fitzpatrick this morn
ing. Johnson's former manager bears
the big black man no illfwill, but de-
cares, with shrug of his shoulders.
that 1t was impossible for any man to
handle johnson after he gained the til
tie. Johnson since then has wanted to
be his own boss absolutely, though
Fitzpatrick declared that he under
stood the champions white wife would
assist in arranging matches for him.
Fitzpatrick will leave this evening for
Seattle, en- route to San Francisco, and
from there will go to New York.
'You may take 1t from me-" said he
to the Associated Press this morning,
that Johnson is not afraid to meet
Jeffres. The colored man says that
he will meet any man, and, literally.
that includes Jeffries, and he means it
that way. In their fight at Sidney
Burns never was in it for moment.
He had no chance at all. | believe.
fully that Johnson is the greatest
fighter now in sight, black or white.
He has great courage and is as quick,
agile and hard as big tiger"
FITZPATRICK read in detail the inter-
view given the Associated Press in
New York by Jeffries last night. When
he had finished he suggested that the
big boiler maker was undertaking
Johnson, and said:
''There is only one white man who
has a right in the ring with Johnson,
and that is ,Jeffrles. But l don't think
that even Jeffries could beat the black.
Jeffries is a long way from being in
shape, and even If he could get into
condition / sincerely believe. knowing
both we'll, that the colored man would
have the better of 1t. For Corbett to
fight Johnson would be ridiculous.
Ketchel is altogether too small. It
would be a shame to match them. For
second choice, after Jeffries, / would
select Jim Barry of Chicago, but real
ly he would not have a chance. john
son is destined to hold the champion
ship for some time, to my way of
thinking" -.----

TWELVE MEN COMING
DOWN FROM NORTH
Congregational Dope-mixers, However,
Are Figuring On Some Firsts,
with Especial Emphasis
on 1oo-yard Dash

CLAREMONT, March 1N-Only
twelve men will be brought down by
the University of California on its
southern tour. The northerners, how
ever, are banking on taking thirteen
first places with their delegation. That
a battle royal will result is shown by
the determination of the local Attn
Ietes to take at least six firsts. The
CONGREGATIONAL dope handlers are con-
fident that two places at least, includ-
ing first, can be secured for Pomona in
the 1OO-yard dash, as both Sloane of
the collegians and Wire Of the preps
can do the stunt easily in 10 1-5, and
have been caught in less time on occa-
sion, particularly Wire, who was
caught in 10 fiat by the official watches
at the Redlands high meet. Parker in
this event is doing we'll also.
Sturges, Rau and Lorbeer are count
ed on as good for first places i'll dis
tance runs, while Sloane in the quarter
and broad jump will be good for at
least a strong fight for first place. In
the high Jump Merriam, who has tied
Munger's Southern California inter
collegiate record of feet inches, will
be the strongest entry
The California men, when Pomona
went to Berkeley last year, extended
great hospitality to their visitors. and
every effort is being made TO insure
their comfort. They will be lodged in
Smiley hall, the new male dormitory,
during their stay. The men IN the
south will vacate their rooms tempo
rariIy for the convenience OF the Wis
itorS.

FINDS
HOTELS CLOSED
TURNED DOWN SIX TIMES AT
VANCOUVER
NARROWLY ESCAPES SITTING UP
ALL NIGHT
Black Champion and White Wife Fin-
ally SECURE Room After Night
Nearly Passes--Does Not
Want Jeff's. Game

VANCOUVER, B. c., March TO-
Vancouver hotel proprietors drew the
color line very strictly last night when
Jack Johnson, the black heavyweight
champion, attempted to put UP for the
night. Coming up from the steamer,
the colored man, with his white wife
and friends, went to the st. Francis
hotel. johnson was politely told that
the hotel was filled to overilowing.
The clerk WAS very sorry, but really,
Mr.. Johnson. 1t could not be helped.
They did not have any room, and that
was all there was to it. The fighter
took the turn-down with good grace
the first time, but when 1t was repeat
ed in five other hotels, especially $2-a-
day houses, he was abusive. Mrs.
Johnson said very little, but was plain
ly very much disgusted at the turn of
affairs. Late in the evening they OBJ
tanned accommodations at the Domin.
ion, a downtown house. Johnson spent
part of the night at the home of George
Paris, a boxing instructor. This morn
ing Johnson could not be found any
where. An army of telegraph messen-
ger DOyS were out iOOhlIlS lot MN,
and long distance telephone calls from
Seattle and other places remained neg
lected. Even George Paris failed to
pick up his chum of the night before.
Sporting men are inclined to COM
ment on Johnson's lack of definiteness
in making possible arrangements for
fight with Jeffries. When the newspa-
per men last night asked him IL he
would fight Jeffries, he invariably re-
piled: "Oh, yes; will take on any
body"
But when it came to pinning down
the black man to details that brought
in mind vision of himself in the
squared circle with the boilermaker,
Johnson side-stepped across the Paci-
fic to some more or less irrelevant story
of his treatment in Australia. Time
and again he refused to talk about
Jeffries. Plainly, he does not intend
to meet the white champion for year
or two, anyway. The sport "dopesters'
here figured 1t out that Jack learned
so many lessons in chasing and being
chased when he went after Burns that
it will be long and merry hunt that
Jeffries will have to get him in the
ring. Some even think that Jack is a
little afraid of the big white man, but
Sam Fitzpatrick comes to the black
mans rescue on that score.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-03-11

Before entering into details as to
how the game was won by the Vernons
it is appropriate to show how the White
Sox scored their fiuky runs. Zeider
scored the first run for the Sox in the
third as direct result of ''muff" of
his fly to right field. Subsequent plays
permitted him to negotiate the entire
distance, by degrees, when he should
have been an easy out. The second run
was scored in the fifth. as the direct
result OF another rank error by Graham
at second. Graham juggled Payne's
grounder and landed safely on first.
Afterward Payne stole second and went
to third on a sacrifice and scored when
Egan juggled BealPS grounder, the run
requiring a pair of errors to make 1t
possible. The third and last run was
scored in the ninth, as the direct re-
suit again of an error. Two hands were
down at the time, and Welday should
have been an easy out at first, but,
with Olmstead on third and Beall on
second, Graham juggled Welday's poke
and Olmstead got home. With these
rank contributions, the Vernon boys
settled down to win the game, and
actually did SO.
They outhit the White Sox, outgen-
eraled them on bases and outplayed
them at all stages. Coy and Shafe"
twirled in great form and laWays held
the visitors safe, and with the eX-
ceptions noted the fielders gave their
pitchers good support. 1t was unfor-
tunate that every error made by the
Vernons had to count against them, and
the lack of team work probably con-
tributed also to the success of the Sox
jim avoiding a shutout humiliation. But
the one grand result of this game was
TO prove that Happy Hogan has aggre-
gated a bunch of classy ball players
who will give a good account of them
selves throughout the Coast league
season.
The showing of the undefeated Yer
mons was particularly gratifying to
Hogan and Freddie Maier, but it also
was bit delightful to the fans who
witnessed it, and slowly had the knowl-
edge beat into them that the Vernon
team is to be among the leaders, not
tailender, in the pennant race. The
same teams will line up this afternoon
at Chutes park and Hogan is figuring
upon taking another game, and predicts
that he will make the shutout a cinch
this time. In view of the excellent
showing of the new Los Angeles MEM
ber of the Coast league it is expected
that the fans will turn out and en-
courage them by a large attendance.

AND HIS SHOW WILL CONTINUE

NEW YORK March 10.-Jmes j.
Jeffries today received an invitation
from Jack Johnson to meet him in the
office of Johnson's attorney in this city
to arrange a fight. The invitation was
handed to Jeffries by an attorney for
johnson as Jeffries appeared In

charge of violating the penal code by
sparring three exhibition rounds in a
theatrical performance last night. The
note read as follows:
John H. Johnson, the worlds heavy
weight champion, desires me to inform
YOU that he will be glad to meet you
at my office to complete arrangements
for a contest between the champion
and yourself"
Jeffries would not comment on the
note.
The charge of violating the penal

RUGBY SEEMS TO BE
ON WANE ON COAS
American Football Association De-
cides to Import Coach from East
to Teach Revised Game
in California

SAN FRANCISCO, March 1O.--At the
second meeting of the American Foot
ball association last night plans were
made to import a coach from one of
the big four colleges in the east to
teach the high schools of this state the
revised American game of football.
This will be the most important step
in the campaign which is now being
waged under the leadership of Will
liam Reid, former head coach at Har-
ward, to prevent the introduction of
Rugby football into the secondary
schools of this coast.
The University of California and
Stanford university have been playing
the English game for the past three
years, and an effort is now being made
to substitute it for the revised inter-
collegiate game in the high schools.
