SAN BERDOO RACES
DISAPPOINT CROWD
Automobile Meet Fails to Come Up tc
Expectations in Fast Time, and
Several Hundred Persons
Much 7ispleased

SAN BERNARDINO, Jan. 31.-One Of
the most disappointing events in the
racing line ever held in this city was
the automobile racing meet at Associa-
ton track this afternoon. About 500
persons went away very much disap-
pointed at what they failed to see.
Barney OIdfield failed entirely to make
his exhibition events, claiming that his
Christy machine was out of order. The
fastest mile was done by Gus Seyfried
with his White Flyer in lib. Bruno
Seibel, with the Marmon racer, man
aged to make a mile in 2:05. The
claim was made that the track was
slow, but it was not so slow as to ac-
count for the time made in every event
that was expected to be fast.
A sweepstakes race was run between
Oldfield, in q White, and Seibel, in the
Marmon, Oldfeld winning the three
mile event in 4:44. Seyfried started,
but failed to finish, he also running a
White.
A motorcycle race was won by Pratt

the sport in the south will attend that
afternoon, and horsemen generally
have shown a commendable spirit in
offering their classiest performers to
add to the attractiveness of the card.
Seven races have been arranged, as
follows: Jolly Corks' purse at one
mile, Elks' purse at three and a half
furlongs, Stag purse at six furlongs,
Reunion handicap, $500 purse, at seven
furlongs; John E. Brink purse at one
mile, Our New Home purse at nine
furlongs and the Eleven O'Clock purse
at six and a half furlongs. Elks will
run the meet for the day, the Elks
colors will greet the eye from all direc-
tions, even when looking at the pro-
gram, and everybody who gets inside
the gates that day, employees and ALL
will represent a direct contribution Of
81 to tha entertainment fund that is
being raised to show the visiting Elks
good time next July, when the an
nual reunion Is held here.
The stake feature this week will be
the Holland cup race at two and a
quarter miles, to be run Saturday.
This event marks the beginning of the
season of the big stakes, and from
now until after the middle of March
the big events will follow in regular
succession. One week from Saturday
the California handicap, worth $75OO.
will be run. A week later the Speed
handicap, worth $4,000, will be decided.
A month hence the Derby will be run.
and the intervening days will bring
out the Derby candidates for their pre-
liminary workouts.
The Broadway Physical Culture club
announces another boxing exhibition
hnfUnnY NIL IN, Al
club. The event will be staged
Wednesday night and will consist in
four three-round bouts. Although
these bouts are between pupils at the
club there is that degree of rivalry
between them that makes them hustle
and put UP lively scraps and the
crowds that attend usually are well
entertained. The card is as follows:
E. o. Van Pelt VS.. John Berry at 13S
pounds, Arthur Martin vs. William
Felsman at 126 pounds, Chick McGin-
mis- VS.. Billy Van Horn at 13O pounds
and w. L. Beauchamp VS.. Rodney Hill
at 145 pounds.
The racing folk around Santa Anita,
Arcadia and Monrovia have found a
new line Of amusement lately and have
made it possible for the two boxing
clubs at Arcadia to do good business
with their weekly shows. Several
hundred attend these shows and Billy
Burk of the Briggs Athletic club and
John Harding of the Oakwood Athletic
club have been arranging some good
cards for their entertainment The
crowds always are orderly and no row.

several exciting bouts have been staged

and Pedrotti and Derenia Play
in Big League
Manner

The Colegroves yesterday afternoon
went down to defeat before the hard
hitting Sunbright Babes by the score
of 1 to 0.

ing big league ball. The winners Sc
cured four hits, while Colegrove got
three.
Dellerocco, for the Sunbrights, was
the star Of the afternoon, making the
only run in the game. Pedrotti, for

Il ARGE fields and fair class will
II feature the card this afternoon at
~ Santa Anita and every event will
be a selling affair, but will bring out a
good class Of platers, all of definite
form this season. Secretary Smith has
arranged card that will enable the
cheaper horses to earn their oats,
which is proper and right, and the card
certainly must be pleasing to horse
men, judging from the Hberality of en-
tries in each event. No race is carded
as feature event, but the public prob
ably will be more interested in the third
and fourth events than all others. Such
popular favorites as Snow Ball, Rubric,
J. G. Clem, Lord Stanhope, Black Mate,
Ida May, John Carroll, Varieties, Pick
away, Alma Boy and Critic are named
as starters in the third race, which is a
mile journey, and the fourth race will
bring out another bunch Of platers that
the public has become fairly well ac-
quainted with during the season
Guiding STAR Sink Spring, Toupee,
Airs, Daruma, Niblick, Voorhees,, Prog
ress and Hazelthorpe being among the
many. The juveniles will travel over a
three and a half furlong route and be
put up at auction and subject to claim
afterward. The card is a good one and
if the track continues to improve in
condition good time should be made and
the sport should be up to the standard.
Announcement is made by the San
Pedro Athletic club that a card of
thirty-six rounds of boxing has been ar
ranged for the night of February 5,
and that the club proposes to resume
it's regular shows for the season. A
double bill Of fifteen rounds each has
been arranged, as follows: Jim Mailer
VS.. Martin Benson at $50 pounds and
Jim Davis vs. Young Sharkey at 12S
pounds. A six-round preliminary be-
tween Young Pico and John Livernore
will open the show. Local fans will be
more interested in the Maier-Benson
bout when it is known that Maier ex-
poets soon to get into the professional
ranks and try for the honors of the
middleweight division. He is a clever,
hard-hitting amateur, who has shown
sufficient prowess to encourage his de-
cision to get into professional ranks,
and his sponsors predict that he will
make good Local fans always have
been given a big run for their money
at the San Pedro shows and this one
will not fall below the standard Of
excellence already established. An ex-
cursion is being planned by the fans
here who want to attend and a good
crowd is expected to be at ringside
from Los Angeles.
Jake Hoffman returns to the Santa
Anita barrier this afternoon and will
send the horses away from the post
for the next five weeks. Dwyer opens
his second period of service at Emery
Vile this afternoon, and will finish
out the Santa Anita season, return
ing in five weeks.

for the day. 1t is expected that the

SOUTH COMMERCIAL
STREET PAVEMENT

Enough property owners have
signed the petition for the paving OF
South Commercial street from the
end OF the bltulithic on the north side
OF Mill creek 20 Mission street. There
is not business man on the street
but feels the necessity OF the improve
ment. The Improvement will stimu-
late values, and business men who
are enriched by the building OF many
new houses see the point that street
paving makes demand for better
class Of property. better wood work,
better plumbing, better finishing In
every line. 1ne property owners on
beyond Mission street want the street
improved with a hard surface. but
can do nothing until the street over
the hill IL improved. Indications are
there would be no remonstrancc. as
those who bond have 8 years TO pay
for the Improvement an. use In the
meantime.
