Lucky" Baldwin's Famed Santa
Anita Track, Now But a Memory

LOS ANGELES, April IL
Beautiful Santa Anita Park, the
famous Southern California race
track, became a memory, coupled
with the memory of it's equally
famous owner, Lucky" Baldwin.
when the law prohibiting ractarck
gambling passed by the last Cali
fornia legislature went into eff
feet today.
On the spot where for years
frantic thousands have cheered
and pleaded and cursed, while
thoroughbreds raced down the
stretch, within a few months there
will probably be homes spring up.
For hope of further maintaing
the course has been practically
abandoned.
Santa Anita track has been IA
nous for its beauty as we'll as
for the most picturesque charac-
ter of the American turf, e. j.
Lucky" Baldwin, winner of four
American derbies. The course, on
the Baldwin ranch has been con-
coded to be the most beautiful
racetrack in the world. Located
in a little valley at the foot of
the Sierra Madre mountains, 1t
commands a view from the grand
stand of the snow-capped peaks of
the Sierra Madres, and off to
the south the flashing waters of
the Pacific.
The Santa Anita track, with the
magnificent Baldwin stables, rep
resented the naturalization Of
the one great ambition of the own
er, thurman who loved HIS horses
for themselves and not for the
money they brought him. :@t
The passage of the antfracing
law was followed closely by the
death of Baldwin. Now the Bald
win stables have been leased and
all of the famous thoroughbreds
will soon be sold. Ills "a

The baseball season is here.

The baseball season is here.
Out at Athletic park this after
moon the Tigers and the Beavers
are at 1t and thousands of root
ling, loyal, patriotic fans are
shaking the heavens with their
enthusiasm.
The Beavers finished the sea-
son on top last year, and their
nearest contenders for the PEN
|nant were the Tigers. Since then
there has been a great shifting of
players and managers, and now 1t
is a guess which team is the
stronger.
Big Parade
The weatherman promised to
do the right thing by the boys to-
day and great preparations had
been made for the season opening.
The formal parade this afternoon
before the game was the signal for
the fan to drop his business and
get to the park again, after long
vacation since last fall. The
parade included both clubs In su-
tomobiles, the city officials and
squads of firemen and police.
The firemen were necessary be-
cause of the heat of the enthus-
iasm which 1t was feared would
burn up the bleachers and grand
stand.
Every welhregulated ball game
has to have cops, otherwise there
is nothing for the irate bleacher-
tie to throw pop bottles at when

clogged with particles OF dirt and
grit. This greatly impairs the eff
ficiency of the motor. A little
time spent in straining the gaso-
lene will be well worth while.
In replacing spark plugs never
adjust them too tightly in hot
cylinders or difficulty will be ex-
perienced later I'm any attempt to
remove them.
Tire casing should be gone over
frequently and bits of gravel or
metal picked out. The small cuts
left should fie filled In with strong
cement.
Sweet oil and tripoil form an
excellent coating to prevent brass
work from becoming furnished.
Oxapc acid or vinegar and salt are
good to remove stains from the
metal.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1909-04-17

When the portion of the tire
having the cut is in contact with
the ground under the weight of
the car, foreign matter of an
abrasive nature gets into the cut.
When the wheel turns and the
strain is reduced the cut con-
tracts and the dirt forces itself
deeper into the cover. Cuts also
have a tendency to absorb mois-
ture which tends to cause rapid
disintegration.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1909-04-17

Hot potash should never be
used on aluminium parts, as it
causes rapid disintegration. Pot
ash is an efficient agent for use
in removing old enamel from
frames, and forks, and is not in
furious to steel, tin or copper.
