younp Turner for a ten-round semi
windup argument for March 10, the
night that Jim Flynn and Billy Papke
hook I'M. This should be nearly as IN
teresting and exciting battle as the
main event. and the showing that
Young Turner has been making IN an
his local engagements, in Wnich ne
has lost only twice. makes hlm look
like a tough nut for the New YORK
kid to crack.
Leonard Lauder has accepted terms
for n scrap with Kid Harrison at Bak-
ersfield the night of March 20, ana
while regretting that he must go
away from home to get ring engage
ments, he feels that he cannot over
look any easy money. This Lauder
kid is about due to get into the near
championship class, and the only thing
that seems to be held against him is
the fact that he is a Los Angeles boy
and therefore, ineligible to cham
pionship unless he can butt into 1t.

for several days, consulting with the
powers that be in coast turf affalrs.
will return home this morning and be
on duty again this afternoon.
News came unofficially yesterday to
the effect that Jockey Treubel, VINO
was suspended recently, had been re-
stored to good standing and that ne
will ride again as soon as the formali-
ties of issuing his license can be COM
piled with. This is real good news TO
racegoers, as Treubel was r1dlng IN
remarkably great form when ne got
into trouble and assuredly good boys
are a necessity at Santa Anita these
days.
No news came yesterday regarding
the status of Jockey Schilling, but
some way or other the ones who hope
that he will be reinstated soon, ana
they are about all those who go 10
the races, seemed very hopeful that
early action to this effect would be
taken. If Schilling has done anything
to merit indefinite suspension the
patronizing public already has for
given him and forgotten whatever it
may have been. There is not one in
thousand among racegoers who is not
hoping for the reinstatement of this
topnotch rider. He may have his
faults, just like other humans, but ne
is needed in the saddle now, and II the
stewards will only overlook anything
they may have against him and give
him another chance, the patronizlng
public will sit up and give three cheers
and a tiger for the aforementioned
stewards.
Jack Atkin was withdrawn from the
handicap yesterday because he
pulled UP lame in a workout. Trainer
Brandt says this is the first time the
great sprinter has developed lameness
in three years. The way the race was
run it would have been a cakewalk for
him.
Jim Blute has decided to ship Donau
and Sureget to Emeryville this morn
ing to start in the Undine stakes, to be
run Saturday. Neither horse has shown
enough to justify the belief that he can
win, but Blute is not paying expressage
on them for fun. He is about the
wisest trainer on the coast, and these
colts will give a good account of them
selves, at least.
Sam Hildreth said yesterday that all
his horses are back in form and ready
for racing again. This includes Resti-
gouche and Fitz Herbert, and classier
pair would be hard to find. With the
announcement of $1,000 added money to
the weekly offering after this week, the
return to form of these horses is bit
of good fortune for both Hildreth and
the racegoing public, not to mention
the association that will profit in the
increased attendance
Reports regarding the condition of
the injured jockeys are of a favorable
nature. Mccarthy, who is suffering
with a broken leg, is improving fast,
and although he will not be able to ride
again this season he will be able to re-
turn to his home in Toronto in a few
days. Rapley also suffering with
broken leg, is improving so fast that he
will be able to ride in a fortnight or
three weeks. Schlessinger is able to
be outdoors, but hardly can do much
strolling yet. He will be all right In a
few days. Mccarthy and Rapley are at
the Clara Barton hospital and Schles-
singer is being attended at the grounds,
Phil Chi1n, his contract employer, giv-
ing the boy his personal attention.
