BASKETBALL POPULAR
AT HOLLYWOOD HIGH
Storm Prevents Games, Which Are
Postponed to Next Week-Track
Practice Will BEGIN
Soon

Basketball at Hollywood high school
is now the most popular branch Of
sport.
Yesterday the foothill five was to
have played the, fast Whittier quintet
at the Quaker city, but the storm pre-
vented the game. Accordingly the
contest will be played sometime next
week. Today the five expected to play
the Long Beach team, but the muddy
courts made it necessary to postpone
the game.
The league schedule will be finished
next week, after which the manage
ment will arrange for a number of
practice games.
Track practice will be started as soon
as the weather permits. Captain Nc
Laughlin has interested a large bunch
of athletes, who will strive for posi-
tionS on. the Hollywood team. Last
year in the county meet, Hollywood
made brilliant day of it by taking the
pole vault and some of the sprints.
There will be about twenty-five out for
the team this season and the prospects
for a winning team are favorable.
Baseball practice will be continued as
soon as the grounds are in fair con-
dition. Great interest is being shown
in the baseball line at the present
time and Captain Spencer hopes to put
out strong nine.

COFFROTH HAS FEAR
OF ANTI-FIGHT BILLS
Talks Frankly of Dangers to Sport
After Hobnobbing with Legis-,
Iators at Sacramento for
Several Days
Especial to The Herald.l ]

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 22.-"The
fight situation does not look any too
good, from the standpoint of the legis-
tonight after he had returned from a
trip to Sacramento that lasted three
days.
Coffroth has been looking over the
situation as to the Introduction OF
anti-fight bills and while no such legis-
lation has been introduced, he feels
that there is considerable danger and
that the future of the fight game is
threatened.
There probably are ten men in each
body of the legislature continued
Coffroth, ''who have anti-fight bills OF
different kinds in their pockets, but
they are all waiting for the result OF
the anti-racing measure before they
present them. Some want to stop tine
game altogether and others simply are
in favor of limiting the number OF
rounds. l have not seen the text OF
any of these bills, but know there are
a lot of senators and assemblymen
who are sore at the game, and un-
less they can be argued out of it, will
be in favor of such legislation"
1t appears that a majority of the
men who are "sore'' kick because, they
say, they were not treated right by the
promoters in San Francisco when it
came to handing out passes. The legis-
Iators expected consideration, but in
a majority of cases were told that they
could pay their money just as the or
dinary fellow would have to do. Now
it is their turn and they are in a po-
sition to kick up considerable of a
rumpuS.
Coffroth had had no opportunity to
talk fight with Willis Britt, as he was
late in arriving, being obliged to make
the trip from Sacramento in river
steamer, as other lines Of travel were
cut off.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-01-23

Horace Egbert, which was received al
the track late in the afternoon, caused
general regret among horsemen and
the racegoing public, and expressions
o. sympathy for the family were heard
on all sides Egbert had been identi-
fed with turf affairs on the coast for
a decade and formerly was one of the
leading sporting writer's of the coast
He had officiated in various positions
at race meetings at Emeryville, Tan
foran, Ingleside, Seattle and other
points and was recognized as an ex-
pert handicapper and racing secretary
He came south last winter to escape
the extreme cold and damp weather of
the season, going to Arrowhead
Springs, where he remained for several
weeks. When he returned home he was
reported to be in a materially improved
condition, but gradually failed and his
death occasioned no great surprise.
Jockeys got in bad yesterday with
the starter and judges in several races
Clark and Brooks were fined SO each
for disobedience at the post in the
first race, Powers was fined $25 for re-
peatedly breaking through the barrier
and MCGEE drew a $40 penalty for the
same offense.
If Barney Oldfeld, the horsm does
not quit winning soon, Barney Ofdfield
the man, will be a millionaire. He
never has missed placing a bet on his
namesake and in the four starts this
season he has cleaned up about $150i
net He had 5000 on Barney, the horse
straight on the nose yesterday, and
cashed enough to buy a cottage, if he
was so inclined.
Shortly after the last race was run
and while the Jockeys were dressing
in their large room if~the paddock, one
of them tossed a lighted cigarette, be-
hind the long row of lockers that ex-
tend around the room and a fire was
started that threatened to destroy the
paddock. It was discovered before If
had made much progress and Boots
Bellairs and Willie Davis formed the
fire department that soon extinguished
the flames, with the aid of one of the
patent machines kept on hand for such
emergencies. All the crowd had
boarded the trains for Los Angeles and
nobody knew anything about the fire
except those who happened to be in the
paddock or beneath the grand stand at
the time. Only slight damage was
done, but had the fire started thirty
minutes later, the paddock would have
been destroyed and the grand stand
would have been endangered.
