FEED BILL DAY
ONLY CHEAP PLATERS SENT

RAcEGoERS SEE LITTLE GOOD
SPORT AT SANTA ANITA
Secretary Smith Arranges Card Of
Seven Races, Exclusively for the
Hayburners and Lets Them
Pay Their Board

The poorest card that has been Of
fered this season was run off at Santa
Anita yesterday, but its lack of class
was justified in the fact that there are
a great number Of horses at the course
that could not win a sack of oats un-
less permitted to race in cheap COM
pany, like that which held the boards
throughout yesterday. Every event on
the card was a selling race and the
fact that no runupS or claims were re-
corded attests the utter lack of class in
the races Secretary Smith had been
paying so much attention to class
lately that the platerS were beginning
to cry for the bottle and he gave it
to them.
The best race of the day was the
last one on the card, which was won by
Pills, with Likely Dieudonne and Good
fellow right at her head at the wire.
Goodfellow is the equine streak of
lightning that had been outworking
Maltbie and which was regarded as a
good thing. In some way, he failed
to get closer than third, but he was
nearly as close to the wire at the finish
as was the winner. The trio finished
SO closely together that the talent
breathlessly glued its eyes upon the
electrical annunciatOr to ascertain
which horse won.
There were no serious form fractures
during the afternoon, despite the utter
lack of class and form. In nearly every
event the horses were so beautifully
punched that they looked like a dead
heat to the talent and it was the big
gest task put upon the spectators this
season when they tried to figure out a
possible winner that would look like a
sure thing during the afternoon.

WOMAN REMAINS IN
WATER SEVEN HOURS

LONG BEACH, Feb. Undetermined
not to be outdone by Miss Lilly Will
liams, who yesterday swan for five
hours in the bath house plunge with
out resting, using only the breast
stroke, Miss Marie E. F'ike of Madi-
son, S. D., today established a new rec
ord, swimming seven hours. She en-
tered the water at $3.50 o'clock this
morning and left it at 4:50, or a little
later, this afternoon.
Several weeks ago Miss Fike set
record of three hours. This morning
she said she hoped to double this.
Crowds of friends and tourists who
watched her from the gallery heartily
applauded her plucky feat.
Miss Fike, who, with her sister, Mrs.
I. G. Smith, is a guest at the Monmouth
apartments, came here a year ago,
practically an invalid. She returned
again this winter and took UP her
swimming lessons. This year she has
been in the water twelve times She
seemed little fatigued when she left the
water today. She swims with a regular
stroke She avoided the shallow por-
tions of the plunge, so had no tempta-
tion to rest by touching bottom.

Joe Gallagher, sparring partner to
Battling Nelson, climbed into the ring

Picato scrap next Tuesday night.
Jim Flynn says that he will start
training Friday for his scrap with Billy
Papke which is scheduled for March
16 at McCarey's club. Jim is confident
of winning this scrap as he has con-
fidence in his ability to outslug any
man at his weight, but will train in
his usual thorough and effective man
ner when he gets down to work.
Walter Powers, promoter of the run

Jockey E. Martin, who was indef-

an unsatisfactory effort with Alma
Boy, has applied for reinstatement and
says that if he is restored to good
standing he will accept an offer to ride
for Rome Respess at Hot Springs dur
ing the spring meeting that is proposed
to be held there. Respess writes that q
spring meeting seems assured and
wants Martin to ride for him. The
judges have not taken any action upon
the application.

was perfectly natural, therefore, that
Bat should want to see his old friend
when he returned to Los Angeles, and
he announced last night, when he heard
that Baldwin is quite sick, that he
would visit him today if the physician
will permit him to do so.
There will be another stake event
this week, making two for the period of
six days that will end Saturday night.
The event will be the Woodland stakes,
at four furlongs, and will be the first
baby stake of the Santa Anita season.
1t will be the feature of the card Sat
urday afternoon. The stake closed
with 1876 nominations and has $500
added money, giving the event an esti-
mated gross value of S3260, figuring
upon ten starters. Gilbert Rose, St.
Damius, A. j. Small, Donau, Carroll
and Flying Squirrel are among the ell
igibles, and there will be a great scram-
BILE for this rich prize.
Eddie Dugan ran into another bunch
of trouble up at Oakland yesterday,
when he was suspended for two weeks
for rough riding in the handicap.
The old controversy between r. F.
Carman and Jockey Guy Burns still
seems to interest a lot of people who
are not concerned in the manner in
which Carman conducts his business.
1t seems that if Carman wants to ride
Burns on his horses or prefers to ride
some other jockey it should be his right
and privilege to do so without inter-
ference. Fully dozen persons have
asked to have Carman roasted for
not allowing Burns to ride, and if Car
man will consider himself duly and
properly roasted" hereby, probably he
will be permitted to attend to his own
business in the future.

ISCUSSION among horsemen and
racegoers regarding the proba-
bility that Jack Atkin would
have won the Speed handicap last
Monday had he got away from the post
on even terms with his field, has be-
come so great that Secretary Smith has
arranged special race for next
Wednesday. March 8. in which Jack
Atkin, King James and Roseben will
meet at the same distance and at very
light weights. 1t will be known as
the Speed Special handicap and will be
In the nature of a match race, although
not so in fact, as such races are ta-
booed by the jockey clubs of the coun-
try. When he conceived the idea of
bringing this trio together again he
went to the owners of these great
spr1nters and asked them to nominate
their horses and they did so. The race
filled Immediately and entries closed
yesterday, so only this trio will go to
the post. According to the conditions
Of the event, no other horses are
eligible and the race will be declared
off unless a fast track prevails Jack
Atkin is assigned 109 pounds, King
James will carry los and Roseben is
given LOG pounds. One object in view
in arranging this race is to set a new
world record for the distance, six fur
longs, and Smith believes that the win
ner will reduce the present record of
Ill, held by Chapultepec and made at
Santa Anita a few weeks ago. A purse
of $500 is offered and the winner will
get the entire purse, there being no
second or third money. Undoubtedly,
this race will prove as attractive as the
Speed handicap and since the unsatis-
factory result in the Speed, because
Jack Atkin was practically left at the
post, interest will be so great that it is
expected that another record crowd will
attend to witness it's running.

four-rOund bout between the TattOoed
Kid and Johnny White. There was
nothing to the bout but Tattooed Kid,
who won in every round, and while I'M
able to put White away, he sent him
to the mat frequently with wallops to
the jaw and head. White seems af-
f1icted with glass jaw and was un-
able to stand any sort of a tap in that
vicinity. However, he was remarka bly,
game and always got up without wait
ing for the count. Tattooed Kid won
by wide margin.
The second four-round prelim was
between Kid Martin and Charley But
Ter. Butler is a negro. The first round
was very even, with the white boy
jabbing his left to the face and TAX
ing WallOpS to the head in return.
This round was rather tame. Butler
thought he had an easy mark and went
after Martin confidently in the second,
but Martin got busy in the last half
of the round and had the negro going
when the bell rang. 1t was Martin S
round easily. Butler had shade the
better of the milling in the third out
boxing the white boy, but did little real
damage. The fourth round was the
best of the four and the white boy put
up a strong finish outSlugging the ne
gro and fairly winning the decision.
The negro got in some face wallops
that looked bad for the white boy in
the early part of the round, but Mar
tin never gave ground and continued to
force the fighting. Martin won with
a fair margin.
The final four-found bout was be-
tween Young Turner and Johnny Hugo.
Turner is the youngster who won both
his previous outs at McCarey's pa
vilion and was looked upon as a sure
winner by those who follow fight
dope" Hugo almost fooled them, how
ever, as he fought so energetically and
effectively that he put Turner down for
eight before the round was half over
Turner rallied, however, and fought
like a wounded tiger and slammed a
hard right swing to the point of the
chin that put Hugo down for the full
count.

Redmond Stops Hoosier Kid

The first of the two six-round bouts
of the evening was between Jack Red
mond of Milwaukee and the Hoosier
Kid. The latter is the scrapper who
stopped Montana Kid in two rounds a
few months ago and has shown to good
advantage in other bouts. Redmond
started out vigorously and tried to
score Knockout in the first round, but
was met with as good as he sent
Before the round was half over both
! boys were covered with blood the
HooSier Kid bleeding from the nose
and Redmond bleeding from a cut 'un-
der the left eye. Redmond almost fin
ished the Kid in the second round and
just as the gong rang he landed a left
to the chin that knocked the Kid into
the ropes and so daZed him that he
would have been knocked out with an
other blow. After half a minute of
fighting in the third the Kids seconds
tossed a sponge in the ring and saved
the Kid from a knockout, Referee
Blake stopping the fight. Redmond
had the Kid in bad way and would
have knocked him out during the
round
The semi-windup event was scheduled
as a six-round bout between Frank
Nelson and Dick Given. The fight
ended in the first round, when Given
put Nelson down twice with rights to
| the jaw. Nelson put Given down earlier
in the round and seemed to be winning
easily until Given put over his first
swing to the jaw. Nelson got up
dazed before the count was half over
| and was knocked down again with a
right swing to the chin. Referee Blake
then stopped the bout.
There was so much dissatisfaction
among the fans because the fight was
stopped that Manager McCarey
matched them over and they were put
on again for four rounds, the fans
cheering enthusiastically at the an
nouncement. Battling Nelson was pre-
vailed upon to referee the bout
J Both boys spared cautiously for a
few seconds and then Given put Nelson
down with a right swing to the jaw
| Nelson seemed afraid and made little
effort to fight except when Given
forced matters. The second round was
very tame, neither seeming to want to
do anything in the fighting line. The
third round was slightly better than
the preceding one, but Given had the
shade at the gong, although even he
did nothing that counted for anything.
The fourth round was all Nelson's, but
he was up against a long lead that he
could not overcome. Given cut Nelson's
left eye with a hard right swing and
| Nelson fought under a big handicap
! throughout the remainder of the round
Given earned the decision.
