IMPROVED CLASS AND LARGE FIELDS
THE RULE AT SANTA ANITA TODAY
e z1gay ozs1PP osz|:sggP

ID ASEBALL cranks rejoice in the
n knowledge that just one week
from today the season will open.
This does not mean that the pennant
race will begin in the Coast league at
that time, but it means that Charlie
Comiskey's White Sox warriors will
start the ball to rolling with the An
gels. both teams getting down to the
preliminary spring practice for the
opening of the pennant ceason. All the
Angel players will report to Cap Dill
lon next Monday, and at the same time
Hap Hogan will have all his Vernon
players on duty for spring practice,
that being reporting day for both clubs.
The White Sox will go to San Diego
next Thursday for one game and re-
turn to Los Angeles for the series with
the local clubs that begins Friday at
the ChuteS. Hen Berry will start the
season a bit earlier, as the big Elks
game between the teams organized by
Cap Dillon and Hap Hogan is to be
played Sunday afternoon, beginning at
130 O'Clock at the ChuteS. Hen will
get out a brass band Sunday if the
weather is favorable to the game and
the strains of music will be notification
to the fans that the big game is to be
played.
Jockey Stanley Page sustained an ac-
cident yesterday morning that probably
will keep him out of the saddle for
couple of months. He was galIoping
Third Rail when that fractions animal
threw him, breaking an arm for the
crack jockey. Jockey Gaugel also sus-
tanned a painful injury when he was
thrown by one of the st. James stable
2-year-olds. The baby racer wheeled
and before Gaugel could arise, stepped
on his hand, breaking three fingers. 1t
Vryrc tod
former Jockey Jimmy Phillips Sus-
tained serious injuries when Fern L
and Orbicular collided the previous day
while working out on a road near Santa
Anita. Phillips sustained a broken nose
and decorations Of his face.
Quite a sensation was created yes
terday between the first and second
races when A. J. Small, owned by p. T.
Chinn, worked the fastest half mile
ever worked by a race horse. Several
horsemen caught the work, and all
agreed that it exceeded the record
made by DeMund when that phony
horse worked so fast around one turn
at this distance that the Rainey boys
paid $45,000 for him. A. J. Small worked
his half around two turns, which makes
the time all the more sensational.
Small will go in the Woodland stakes
Saturday.
R. F. Carman dropped bundle of
money when Red Mimic failed to get
home in front in his race. Carman
thought he could beat all the others
with his speed marvel, but all the
racing luck was against him.
Backers of Progress and Reformation
were at loss to account for the failure
of these cracks to finish in the money
until it developed that Progress had
broken down and Reformation pulled

GOSSIP OF THE DIAMOND

q TRUCK on the wrist by a hard
batted ball which he attempted
~ to catch, Wilford Seay Of the
South Pasadena high school team yes
terday sustained a fracture of the bones
of his right hand which will keep him
out of the national game the rest of
the season. The lad was playing in
a scrub game arranged by the high
school manager against college players.
His team won in a inning con-
test by a score of to z, but at the
probable price Of losing the interschol-
astic championship, the honor they
gained defeating the Pasadena high
school team last Saturday, they seemed
to have a clear road. 1t is doubtful if
another man can be secured for the
position out of the material available
who will replace Seay, although Coach
Van Patton will try out other members
Of the team this week.
Manager Earl Conway of the Modern
Woodman of the World baseball club
has added to his lineup G. De traits,
formerly of the Western league. De
traits has just recovered from a sick
spell, but was out last Sunday and
showed the boys he has the goods. De

the carpet before their various stu
dent bodies if they do not cut it out
while out Of the game. During the past
few weeks several players, including
catchers and inf1elderS, have been sent
notices by their respective coaches. Yes
terday afternoon while strolling down
Broadway one of the baseball coaches
of Los Angeles high school spotted
his backstop with a coffin nail in his
mouth and it is safe to say that this
young man who recently graduated
from a grammar school will be COM
PEELED to do extra work for his folly.

The boys will weigh in this afternoon
at 3:45 o'clock and must be at or un-
der 128 pounds. This poundage will be
easy for Little to make, although 13O
pounds would be more favorable to
his chances, while WoIgast probably
will be within a couple of pounds of
that weight. Little will take on weight
after weighing in, while WolgaSt prob
ably will be as heavy at the hour of
weighing in as he will be at ringside.
This means that Little will have it on
him to some extent at least.
Little has shown in his workouts that
he is fighter of the same type of
Wolgast, a mixing, bruising, hustling
Walloper, and he will go in to make
short work of the Milwaukee boy at
the first tap of the gong. This rough
house style of fighting exactly suits
Wolgast, however, and as he has a
punch that is most discouraging to the
ones who stop it, he will be ready and
willing to go it hammer and -tongs as
soon as Little wants to start the ball
to rolling. All this sounds good to the
fans and probably means a whirlwind
walloping fight all the way, with a
great prospect for a knockout victory
for the winner
This will be the second battle in
three days for Wolgast. He signed tIp
with Danny (Kid) Webster for ten
rounds a couple of weeks ago and when
Baron Long wanted a card for his
club reopening, Wolgast rendered his
services. Long accepted the offer and
matched Wolgast with Little Ad con-
sidered his scrap with Webster as a
sort of workout and while not caring
for a knockout victory and not being
willing to take any chances of breaking
a hand, carefully reserved himself for
the tougher battle with Little. He feels
confident that he is so nearly a cham
pion that he safely can engage in two
scraps in a week and get away with
the capital prize in each and, therefore,

up so lame he hardly could be led off
the track. 1t is believed that Progress
is severely injured, but Reformation
may be able to get back to the races
again before the end Of the season, with
good luck.
Strange how one or two long shots
can start a panic among the pikers!
When the good thing goes over once or
twice in an afternoon all the ace and
deuce boys get busy at figuring out
long shot to beat all the other favorites
that day, and everybody, nearly, loses.
1t seems to stampede them and cause
them to overlook real form when a
slipup or two occurs.
Billy Porter was having his troubles
getting right yesterday, but finally
pulled UP nicely by hairs breadth.
Billy seldom gets in wrong in his guess

round. One preliminary was stopped
by Referee Yank Hamilton because
the boys would not fight, and Young
Miller knocked out his opponent in
the first round.
The card for this afternoon at Santa
Anita is quite an improvement over
the last two days. Large fields and
an improved class of horses will be
the rule. There is no extraordinary
event to feature the card, but the
third, fourth and fifth races will di-
vide the honors of being the real at
traction. The third race is at six fur
longs and has a wonderful assemblage
of speed emarVels The fourth is at nine
furIongs and has a small field of good
ones that have been so unfortunate as
to not win a race this season. The
fifth race is at mile and has the
best class of the three events Maltbie,
Old Timer, Animus, Rockstone, Sir Ed

and other good ones will start. With
a fast track the winners should step

has no fears regarding the result to-
night.
The semi-windup will be nearly as
good a fight as the main event, and
probably will prove just as attractive.
Walter Fisher, the towheaded chap
from San Berdoo who always has been
great hit since he first fought here,
will take on frankie Sullivan, the Ar
cadia whirlwind, for fifteen rounds. and
as neither boy ever wastes any time in
trying to box, depending entirely upon
his gameness and Slugging ability, the
fans are due for another exciting time
when this pair mixes it. They will
make 122 pounds at 8 o'clock this after
noon and the weight is fair to both.
Fisher wants to regain what prestige
he may have lost in his only local
defeat, when he fought Webster, and if
he can trim Sullivan, which none of
them have been able to do yet, he sure
ly will be reinstated in the hearts of
the fans.
A ten-round curtain raiser will be
staged, but Baron Long had not closed

FOR THE CARTER MEDICINE

STATES COURT.

The United States Circuit Court for
the Southern District of New York
sitting in New York City-has just
awarded to the Carter Medicine Com
pany decree which again sustains
the company's exclusive right to use
the red package for liver pills.
BY the terms of the decree, it is,
among other things:
Adjudged that the Carter Medicine
Company is the owner OF the sole and
exclusive right to the use OF red col
ored wrappers and labels upon said
small, round packages of liver pills of
the style described in the bill of CON-
plant; said right having been ac-
quired by the prior adoption of said
style and color of package for liver
pills by the complainant predecessors
more than thirty years ago, and es-
tablished by the continuous and ex-
elusive use of the same in constantly
increasing quantities by said prede-
cessors and by the complainant, the
Carter Medicine Company. itself. from
the time of their said adoption until
the present day.
The decision just announced is per
haps the most important and far-reach-

of the tribunal which rendered it. Nc
