third place at the wire. An accident to
the barrier, which refused to work
properly, practically caused Capt. Bur-

left at the post, and they never had a
look in thereafter. Uncle Henry showed
the most early speed and set a fast
pace to the stretch, where financier
passed him. Barney Oldfeld also got
his Snout in front of Uncle Henry at
the stretch turn, but the latter finished
with a second sprint and easily beat
out Barney for the place, while Finan-

nose in first place at the wire. 1t was
most uncomfortable finish for the
hackers of the first two horses.

ANIMUS ANNFXES
SELLING STAKES
JUSTIFIES FORM BY WINNING
THE COVINA
Jockey Eddie Dugan Makes First Ap-
pearance of Season on the Coast
and Finishes Third with
Rapid Water
BY JAY DAVIDSON

Scratches almost ruined an excellent
card yesterday at Santa Anita, but de-
spite the Withdrawals there were plen-
ty Of classy horses in the several events
and good sport and formfuI racing re-
suited The feature of the card was
the Covina selling stakes, at one mile
and five siXteenths, the first race at
this distance ever run at Santa Anita,
and was won by Barney Schneider S
Animus. The Hildreth entry, Wood
craft and Dandelion, was withdrawn
during the forenoon because of a mis-
understanding and an oversight, and
this left field of only four starters.
Merlingo broke in front on the rail
and showed the way to the stretch,
closely attended by A. Muskoday, with
Goldway third and Animus fourth.
Muskoday moved out in front for a
brief flash but already was firing, and
after turning for home in the lead he
gave it up and was passed again by
MerlingO. The Clopton candidate sur
prised his supporters by showing a
second burst of speed after firing of
the pacemaking job, and it seemed for
q time that he might stick out in front.
But Animus had been carefully ridden
and was fresher and stronger at the
finish. 1t was a cakewalk for him
through the final sixteenth, winning by
nearly two lengths, but Merlingo held
way, which had no difficulty in show
ing after Muskoday retired. The time,
PA As. is five seconds slower than the
worlds record, held by Ballot, of
2:09 3-5, but is remarkably good time
considering the track conditions and
the class of horses in the race
There was more and better class in
the Rosemead handicap, third on the
card, although it was not worth a fifth
as much as the selling stakes. Halket,
superior mudder and a high class
Sprinter dashed into an immediate lead
and simply breezed all the way from
barrier to wire, showing much con-
sistency in running to form in such a
classy field and in such poor going. He
went under the wire five lengths in
front of Sir Edward, which ran a most
improved race from a poor beginning
and got the place money from Rapid
Water which again tired and refused
to make a strong finish. Adriuche,
Fern L. and Tom McGrath furnished
the .'also ran" division.
Donau, the crack juvenile that Train
er Butte declined to sell for $4,000 q few
days ago, proved that his previous de-
feat of Kid was no f1uke by running
away from the Thomas candidate after
the latter had beaten the barrier in the
baby race. Donau won by nearly three
lengths, running easily. Sepulveda
showed Only four starters faced the
barrier in this race.
Procla, which won her previous out
in the mud, consistently repeated by
defeating such good ones as Joe Gait

field. Taylor was not only doing the
training and driving, but taking care of
the horse himself, and he was as
vicious in the stall as he was in har-
ness. Altogether he was a horse that
few would want to bother with. yet the
aged man handled him as we'll as any
one could.
He told me then that he first got in
the racing game by riding runners for
the officers in Montreal, soon after the
war of 1872, and had been at it ever
since. In appearance he was a thin
wiry little fellow, round shouldered and
bent over by age, his nose and chin al
most meeting. He had piercing black
eyes, and his eyebrows were as heavy
as an ordinary mustache; but hardly a
gray hair in his head, and he was as
spry as a man only 40 years old and
tough as piece of sole leather. The
papers did not give the cause of his
death, but he must have been run over
by freight train or an automobile;
it certainly was not from old age.
San Francisco, 2:07%, will not come

won third money, $4,000, in the Read

and he was so lame at the time from
cracked heels that it seemed a shame
to start him.

Many new and novel plans of interior
decoration and arrangement are being
introduced by Dyas & Cline in the fur
nIshing of their new store at 214 West
Third street. B. H. Dyas, president
and general manager of the company,
is spending most of his time at the
new location personally experimenting
the work.
On the main floor there will be three
times the floor space of the old estab-
lishment at 116 West Third street,
while the large basement has almost
four times the space of the present
location. In addition to this there is

storing stock and there will be nearly
twenty glass show cases. The offices
will be placed in the rear of the build
ing and the gun shop, presided over by
Joe" Singer, the well known gunsmith
will be housed in an adjoining building
A miniature lake will be constructed
in one Of the show windows and game
birds and the various varieties of Cali
fOrnia trout will be on exhibition all
the time. Permission has been OBJ
tanned from state authorities for the
trapping of fish and game for the pur-
pose of exhibiting them in the windows
Special attention has been given to
the electrical equipment, not only for
the show windows, but for the purpose
of display throughout the entire store
Over $4,000 worth of new goods will
be added to the already large stock on
hand and more than $4,000 will be spent
on the interior fittings of the store.
The new building will be open for
business on the first of February. A
special feature will be the palm garden
lounging room, fitted in the rear Of the
store as place where sportsmen can
gather and talk over topics of sporting
interest and tell hunting stories

Baseball Coach Brewer Of Polytech-
mic high school pitted the Washington
Street club against the fast School
masters team in their first practice
game yesterday, and as a result went
down to defeat at Chutes park dia-
mond by a score of Z to 4. 1t was
more of a tryout than match game,
and the students showed up well
against their older opponents.
Tom Pierce, who played left garden
for Poly, was in the game at all stages
and sent the sphere out to the score
board for two tWo-base hits. Pierce
has improved considerably and has the
making of a first-class ball player.
Monk Pierce at shortstop was at
times slow in recovering the ball and
made a few wild throws to first base,
which were of a costly nature. Pierce
redeemed himself later in the game by
stealing twice. In the third inning
Tom Pierce ran to the scoreboard, cap
tured c. Reinhard's grounder and
throwing the ball to third retired the
truant officer at that sack.
Sebastian of last years second team
for the losers, sent the ball to short
field fence, advancing Catcher Malone
to home plate, he himself scoring on
the play.
Hannah pitcher, was sent to the
mound in place of Carlisle in the first
of the fifth inning and he held the box
down the remainder of the game.
George Carlisle, who twirled the first
four innings, has a remarkable record
for a youngster. In the sixty-eight
games in which he has taken part he
has made forty-five runs and has
sixty-nine stolen bases to his credit.
He also has walked eighty eight times

cerned, who formerly pitched for the

Yesterday he was laughing half the
time, and at other times he went
through all kinds of actions as if in
pain.
A double steal was pulled off in the
first part of the sixth inning by the
school teachers, w. White going to
third. while Grelck purloined second.
White then scored, Grelck advancing
to third. Grelck scored on Abbots ny
to center field.
Capt. Pierce is a demon in stealing
bases. capturing a total of three from
Pitcher Reinhard.
In the last of the seventh inning
Tom Pierce hit to deep left field for a
two-base hit, scoring Hannah, thereby
tieing the score at 3. Bibo hit to Grelck,
who fumbled the ball, Bibo steal
ing second and Sebastian advancing to
third.

stated that the little city of Cash

the trees in that city had been under

more pests in the corporation than
Their were outside of it. He asks
that this city do likewise and that
the spraying of the trees in this city
be done by competent persons and
with power sprayer. In the past,
inasmuch as so many people have a
few trees on their lots and have
neither the experience nor the time
to look after the spraying. the pests
have been allowed to breed and be-
come a menace to the orchards of

to the park committee with power
to act.
