Los Angeles herald., 1909-07-22

last round when he had Walsh whipped
to frazzle and practically out, is art
er a return match. Gene wants to fight
Walsh before McCarey's club or is
willing to go before a beach audience
| and fight twenty rounds at San Pedro.
He also adds by way of emphasis that
he will fight Walsh on a basis of WIN
ner take all, which is the utmost that
could be demanded of any fighter to
prove his earnestness.
From far-off Vancouver, where the
racing game is being conducted in n
clean manner and is we'll patronized,
comes Eddie Ryan, known to all local
followers of the game. He brings
glowing report of conditions on the
northern track. The Vancouver track,
located at The Willows is conducted
BETTER than any half mile track he
ever saw, and Ryan has taken in about
all of them. Square racing is being Of
fered and the conduct of the game is
above reproach The plant is high
class in every particular and the sport
is excellent Among the bookmakers
on the firing line are Hughey Jones,
who left a few days ago; Billy Eng
strom, who stands $1,000 to the bad for
the season; "One-Two- Three" Martin
and Joe Harlan. All the ticket men
have been losers up to the present
time. The officials of the meeting are
Robert f. Leighton, general manager
and associate judge; Frank Skinner
presiding judge; Jack Dinue, paddock
judge and official timer and Dick
DWyer and Joe Weber, alternate start
ers. The latter says Eddie is one of
the best half-mile starters in the busi-
ness and has made an enViable record
for clean getaways from the post this
season. The st. James stable is the
leading winning owner at present, and
its French Cook took the Victoria feat
ure, the Derby, valued at $1,000. Archi-
bald is leading the joclties in the num-
Der of winning mounts, with r. Brooks,
who was stable boy at Santa Anita,
but has improved fully 100 per cent,
standing second. Vosper, who rode III
the south under the colors of w. T.
Anderson, and is now going free lance,
is the sensation of the season in getting
away fast from the barrier, being re-
garded as the best post boy at the
meeting. Roalta is the best horse up
TO a mile on the track, and Day Star
which has beaten Edwin T. Fryer, Fam
tastic and other speedy ones, is the
pest at distances over a mile. He won
the Dominion handicap two weeks ago. |
The track will close August IA and |
racing will open at Lulu park, Van |
couYer, August 21, continuing until the
latter part of September, thus giving |
the Canadians all sumWer racing. One |
OK the most significant features of the |
canadian racing is the fact that the |
Jockeys are never fined for rough rid |
ing. When they transgress the rules Of |
square racing the boys are deported |
from canada and are never thereafter
permitted to appear on a British track |
SO strict are the officials in enforcing
ms rule that it has practically put an
end to crooked riding
One noteworthy declaration brought
back by Ryan is that every racing fol-
lower, owner, jockey or official seems
TO be looking forward to racing next
winter in California.
Monte Attell being matched with
Jimmy Reagan for August 10, he could
not take on Danny Webster for August
at McCareys pavilion, but he may
meet the Los Angeles boy in the fail.
Webster and Mike Kutchos may come
% terms for a ten-round bout at Nc
Carey's for August 10, Kutchos being
Wiling to meet Webster on a winner
ake-all basis with side bet If Webster
will make 116 at 6 o'clock. This will be
staged as a semi-windup to the Barry
Burns contest If it is arranged.
1t is probable that there will be no
contests at MCCarey's pavilion August
, as the Pacific Athletic club was un-
lble to come to terms with Phil Brock,
md the opening event will be on August
o.. No word has been received from
lack. Burns regarding a meeting with
lin Barry for the initial date, but
3arry is ready to go on with the
salinas boy as a starter for the fall
on the coast.
Jim Barry will not train at Doyles
or any contests he may have in Los
Angeles Yesterday he moved his ef-
ects to East Side, where he will get in

ut at the pavilion yesterday and
howed good form in his trial rounds.

or a siX-round go so as to give the !
