GOOD DORY RACE
PROMISED JAN. 2
FIRST TWO EVENTS OF SECOND
SERIES TO BE HELD
capt. Wood Awarded Honors for First
Series-Haines Reed Enters La
concha for Coming
Event

What should prove to be the best
dory race sailed at San Pedro for some
time will be held Sunday afternoon
January 2, under the auspices of the
South Coast Yacht club, when the first
and second events Of the second series
are sailed.
Warren Woods fast little dory, the
"Merrily" won the first series, win
ming the first six straight races. AL
though there are ten races to each
series, it was decided by the race COM
mittee that Wood be awarded the
SERIES by reason Of none Of tine other
boats being able to obtain the neces-
sary percentage to put them ahead Of
Wood.
one of the new boats to be entered
in the races is the La Concna,'
owned by Halnes Reed. This boat was
entered in last seasons races and il
expected to prove to be one of the
hardest contenders for the second ser
les of this season. During the next
two weeks the boat is to be over
hauled and put in commission and
will be in fine shape for the races. 1t
is not known who sail her
The Doris" is 10 be Overhauled and
have new suit of sails for the
coming events, and with \ick stewart
at the stick, should be wonders. In
the last races Wick Stewart handled
the Doris, and was greatly handi-
capped by reason of not being able to
get the boat in shape soon enough.
Algy Best has slgnificd his intention
of entering the KITTY" If the boat
shows up as good as she did at the
last race, Wood will have 10 keep
busy to put his boat across the finish
line first.
1t has been rumored that Walter
Folsom will enter his two dories,
Blue Fin" and Little Mischief"
Both OF the boats are fast and stand
a good chance of winning.
Joe Fellows has contracted the
dory fever and is going to sail .he
Chill Pepper again. The boat did
not do well as expected at the last
race but is looked upon as one Of the
probable winners of the next races.
Fellows declares that he will race the
boat until he has beaten the "Merrily.'
The races will be held in the outer
harbor at San Pedro and the prepara-
tory gun will be fired at 1855 and the
starting gun at l o'clock.

BIG PRICE PAID TO
GOOD HOCKEY PLAYER
Cracks Get from $1,000 to $1,000 for
Season of Nine Weeks, or More
Than Big League Stars

NEW YORK, Dec. 1S--The profess
sional in every sport, whether 1t be
baseball, hockey or what not, is al
ways listening for the same sound and
he can detect 1t far off. He has
trained his ears to catch the first
sound of the crumpling OF tho long
greer. TO the person who is content
to gaze on the surface of things only
and does not care TO delve of the in
ner workings It undoubtedly appears
that baseball-the great national pas
time--ls the most remunerative form
of athletic competition. But this is
not true.
There is another branch of athletics
which is just beginning to claim its
own in the United States, that pays
even greater sums for its eXperets
that does baseball The season or
hockey in the Dominion Is of necessity
NOT nearly so long as that of baseball,
but while il lasts the men demand ana
get amounts of mintage that sounds
more like legendary dreams than
truthful statements And yet they
are part of the history OF the game
as II is played in our northern neigh
boris backyard.
Ten dollars per minute for one
hockey player would, If one dld not
know the inside, have to be swallowed
with more than one pinch or SAT- but
This isn't the mere production OF some
ones fertile brain. A glance in the
annals of the sport across the line
stamns II as authentic and so down
hero we gasp at ii and begin to think
that all this high-strung business oV9r
which Jeff and Johnson are making
such a fuss is not the result or one
bIg iump. but has found its stepping
stones i'm other sports.
Ten Dollars Minute
Art Ross. who played with the Co
halt team against Haileybury IN a
hockey game last winter, was paid S6Oo
for the contest, which lasted sixty
minutes. two halves of thirty minutes
each This would make his stipend
amount TO SO minute. -.
Furthermore all the other members
of the two teams received Dig money
for playing in that game Inc con-
fest was staged in Cobalt, the heaFt
Of the silver mining district, and
those miners are willing to make a
big outlay I'm order to get two good
teams together, and then they wager
heavily on the outcome OF the Inatcn'
Thousands OF dollars change hands
on the results of one of these games,
since II is one of the few big amuse-
ments which the miners nave 10 III
vert their minds from constant sap
ping of the ore from the earth.
The average salary paid the profess
sional hockey player I'm the Dominion
for about nine weeks play is probably
$1,000, but there are several luminaries
at puck chasing who are compensated
for their services in much larSep
checks. Some draw as high as S2Ooo
for the season. ~.
II is generally conceded that the
average baseball player receives a
stipend of about $4,000 a season for
nearly seven months daily work
Hockey is too strenuous a game TO
request a man to play it every night
and when all this time is taken into
constellation it will be found that the
salaries paid hockey players toucn a
higher mark than those given the pali
tOsSers.

BIG MILL DOPE IS
FIGHTnOM'S SUBJECT
Gives johnson a Little the Best OF
IL. but Wants to See jeff Win
the Fourth of July
Scrap

NEW YORK, Dec 1S.-Although
rather early to begin talking about the
result of the fight that is scheduled to
take place on the Fourth of July be-
tween Jeffries and Johnson. the subject
crops up in pugilistic circles every hour
or so. Bill Muldoon, who probably
knows as much about fighters and their
ability as any one man this side OF
Egypt, was very talkative on the
merits of the principals a day or so ago.
He has fitted many a good man in
his day for the ring, and had much 10
do with the last bare knucSle fight be-
tween Sullivan and Kilrain at Rich
burg, Miss, nearly nineteen years ago.
This was the last bare knuckle fight,
London prize ring rules, in TINS coun-
try.
In speaking of Jeffries and Johnson,
Muldoon leans slightly in favor OF
Johnson, not that he would like to see
Jeffries win, but when he expresses
himself neither creed nor color enters
the argument--it is a question of man
and man, physique against physique,
and ability against ability. His first
opposition to Jeffries is the fact that
he has been out of training for num-
Der of years, and as he puts it: An
athlete cannot absent himself from the
ring for so long a period and then come
back as good as he was when he lett
it, especially if he has led an indolent
life or a life that has not had health
full attachment to it,"
He argues that although there is
little difference between the ages OF
the men, the colored man has the ad-
vantage, and what is more in his favor,
he has been in continuous action for
the past six years, while Jeffries has
done nothing in the pugilistlc line dur
ing that time,
II should not be at all surprised" F"
said Muldoon, ''to see the outcome OF
the fight very similar to that which
occurred in New Orleans when Cor
bett wearied Sullivan into defeat by
his youth and staying ability. When
men get on in years they wear down
in any contests, especially so when
they have been out of the game for
some time. 1t is one hundred to one
that Jeffries will never be able TO
punch the bag as long and as hard
as he could six years ago and that Is
the best indication that he is not as
good as he was. I look for Johnson to
win. but there is one thing he will
have to be mindful of, and that is that
in the early stages of the game he must
not let Jeffries get zone in on him
or there will be some counting, and
If he should happen to get two Jolts
close together there will be chance
of a johnson funeral in the neighbor-
hood, for Jeffries has a iolt that is
damaging.
