The shipment comprised over 100
horses and is the last big shipment TO
go out from Santa Anita. The train
will be rushed through with all pos

next Thursday. Among the lot are
some of the best horses campaigned at

Thursday she will be crowded with
horsemen and racegoers bound for the
summer campaign on the Victoria and
Vancouver tracks. All of the state

and many will have to remain over a
week owing to lack OF accommodations

of the thousand horses quartered at the
track during the meeting. These few
will be shipped east just as soon as
cars can be secured.
The track and stables have been or
dered closed May 8 and any owners
having horses on the grounds on that
date will be compelled to seek stabling
room elsewhere. The track and grounds,
however, will not be neglected during
the summer months. Ed Ryan, the
track superintendent, will be on the
ground all summer and will keep things
in ship shape order.

YESTERDAY SAILS EASTWARD
Program Includes Kite Contest, Air.

and Daily Balloon AS
tensions

Military signal work will be one Of
the big items on the card at the big
Aero show which is to open at Fiesta
park this afternoon under the aus
pices of the Aero club of Califor-j
MIA. The signal corps Of the SEVENTY
regiment, N. G. c., under command 81
Private W. A. Hall, an experienced
aviator, will give an exhibition of the.
manner in which modern aeronauticar
equipment is used for signaling by the
United States army.
The signal corps has taken up aero
nautics as part of it's regular work
since the enlistment Of Private Hall,
who has been a member of the Aero
club, and the soldier boys have pro-
crossed in the use of the new science
to such an extent that they are now in
position to give a good account of
themselves with kites and balloons as
a means of signaling in the field to
points SO distant that they could not
be reached otherwise.
The first of a series of pilot balloons
that are to be sent up at noon daily
until the opening of the show was
liberated yesterday. The balloon,
made by Mr.. Rilliet of such size as to
contain 700 cubic feet of gas, was
equipped with small basket, and, at
the height of 200 feet, as 1t sailed be-
fore a. brisk wind, might have been
mistaken for one of the larger ball
looms which have attracted so much
attention in Los Angeles and Pasa-
dena. When 1t disappeared from
view the pilot was scudding at lively
gait toward San Pedro. 1t will be-
come the property of whosoever finds
it, together with a season pass to the
show. The other pilot balloons have
been finished and partly inflated and
are resting on the platform that sur
rounds the SAUCER track at Fiesta park.
One of them will be sent up at noon
today.
The program for the show finally has
been arranged. The card, among other
features, includes kite contests and at
tempts to carry man on kite, airship
trials, glider contests and balloon
ascensions all afternoon.

T N giving the Pasadena fans an OPP
portunity to see the Coast league
n teams on their own grounds Henry
Berry has taken q step which VIII meet
with the approval of every fan VINO mas
the interest of the game at heart Tor
the southland. For months Pasadena
has been asking for recognition. They
have made a persistent campaign and
have assured Berry of their support
The game Wednesday will be the test
and if the support promised becomes
reality the Crown city will see the team
several times this season. Los Angeles
will not suffer any material loss py
this action, for with continuous pan
the local fans can afford to grant their
neighbors one day in a fortnight, for
instance Another important item that
should not be overlooked in consider
ing the Pasadena ball question is the
very possible fact that Pasadena may
be a Coast league town next season.
Hap Hogan's Nernonites are not
berthed properly, as Is evidenced from
the small crowds that turn out at YER
non. and the talk of a transfer to the
foothill town may crystalline into. Al
assured fact If the Pasadena fans
should evince a generous spirit OF sup
port of the league games.
Word has been received here from
Nationals, speaking in cheering terms
of his chances of obtaining a perma-
uent berth as regular outtelder for the
big leaguers. RUDE wrote to franz
Hosp. the Angel pitcher, and former
chum of the fast little fielder, telllIg
him of mis- work with st. Louis, ana
saying that he has been notified that
he will be given steady posltlon, as
a result of his sensational fielding and
hard hitting. Since Ellis left for the
east his former comrades on the Los
Angeles Coast league team have
watched his career with great inter-
est. The St. Louis baseball scribes
have taken kindly to the little light
ming streak, whose good nature and
class as a ball player nave mace MN
a favorite. RUDE is modest in telling
of good work, but the clippings speak
in a hard-pedal strain. Numbers OF
his admirers will hear of his success
with unalloyed pleasure.
Pitcher Maggie, one of Berry's most
reliable slabsters, will be on the bench
for a week at least and may be absent
from the lineup for a longer period.
Maggie has not been feeling well for a
week, and yesterday Dillon sent him
TO a physician. An examination
brought out that he is>suffering from
broken rib. Nagle was hit by a
pitcher While practlclng IN PORTLAND
and while he did not realize it then,
the ball struck him with such force
that one of his chest protectors was
fractured. With Dillon limping around
suffering from a badly lacerated foot,
Delmas somewhat off color due to in
iuries and Jud Smith crippled by
badly injured wrist, when he was
struck by pitched ball yesterday, the
Angels may we'll be named the Grip

ATHLETICS

real struggle in the southland comes
next week, when Charlie Graham S
former outlaw aggregation arrives Ior
a weeks play with the champions.
The Sacramento team was made up
from the best men in the former state
league nine and was strengthened by
PLAYERS whom the Coasters aided era
ham in obtaining, and in the negotla-
lions for whom he was backed by the
eastern leagues. They have been
whipped into fighting trim, possess a
speedy infield, accurate and reliable
outfield and a line of hard sluggers
who are terrors to many pitcher
drawing salary under the banner OF
the Pacific slope organized ball or
ganization. Dillon is endeavoring to
cure up everyone of his invalids and
send a compact bunch onto the dia-
mond. He will need everything for
the Senators, and the games should
prove as exciting as any on the sea-
sons schedule.
That Freddie Welsh has more than
made good with eastern fight critisc is
evidenced by the following introduce
ton to a Mandatory article, with the
clever little Englishman as the sub
ject. Freddie has written asking TO be
remembered to all the boys, and says
he is anxious to return to the coast,
but finds the game good for him in the
east. He takes a crack at Bat Nelson
and incidentally accuses the Batt1er
of sidestepping a match. The eIlogy
follows:
Freddie Welsh, who was born March
5, 1886, at Bontypridd, Wales, and
christened Frederick Hall Thomas, is
probably the most promising candidate
for Battling Nelson's lightweight title.
He is without doubt the best man of
his pounds who has come from the
British isles since the days of Jem
Carney. Although just past 20 years
of age, Welsh has fought more than
100 battles, having begun his public
boxing career in this city when he was
10 years old. Prior to coming to Amer
lea he took little or no part in profess
sional bouts, combining himself to the
amateurs. After spending two years
in this country and taking part in
twenty-six contests, twenty-four of
which were in this city, and in conse-
quence no decisions being given, Welsh
returned home.
His experience in his Philadelphia
contests served him a good purpose, as
when he reached London matches came
thick and fast. 1t was a succession of
victories, as in seven months he won
thirteen contests, ten of them by the
knockout route. Having cleaned up all
the men OF his weight in Great Britain,
he returned to America in November,
1907, fought six contests here in the
east and then started for the Pacific
coast, where he has made notable
record. He is a pet of the Los An
geles sports, as they consider him
great credit to the game and are will
ing to back him heavily against Nell
son. Welsh, who has saved most of
the money he has earned in the ring,
is eager to try out the Dane, and has
agreed to back himself for $4,000 if the
Battler will only consent to a match.
Thus far the pride of Hegewich has
studiously avoided meeting with the
clever little Welshman.
