lengths behind in the three and half
furlongs dash. All the way from bar
rier to wire they nosed along at their
best efforts, aided by the best jockey
ship of which Schilling and Powers are
capable, and yet at the wire there was
only a whisker to separate them. The
crowd stood UP and cheered heartily
for both boys and their game little
racers
AL Blute has added Star Thistle
to his string, and the son of Blues
grabbed off second money for him yes
terday in the race with DR.. Holzberg.
Blute is one of the youngest trainers
under license, but he is rapidly gath
ering a good string of horses and is
having good luck with them. He has
a very capable instructor in his father,
who ranks with the best in the busi-
ness.
John Harding and Billy Porter are
entitled to great credit for the success
of the benefit given for former Jockey
Joe Scherrer last night at Arcadia.
These boys organized the affair and
saw it through to successful finish.
Col. Bob Northam was at Santa
Anita yesterday, the first time in three
weeks, and was so well pleased with
the sport that he began to wonder how
he had remained away so long. He
is figuring upon moving from his pala-
tial home at Arcadia back to Los An
geleS and is entertaining the idea of
presenting the expensive property to
some charitable organization. These
plans have not matured but he has
this disposition of the property under
consideration and probably will an
nounce his definite plans in a short
time.
Jockeys had a stormy day of it with
the officials, three of them getting
soaked with fines for violations of
racing rules. Rice was charged $50
for indulging in some rough work on
the back stretch when Light Comedy
took a few pOkes at rival racers. Peak
also drew down an assessment Of $25
for disobedience at the post.
Mel Lawrence has not returned from
a business trip to his ranch in Placer
county, although he had planned to be
back early in the week. Rains and
washouts have delayed his arrival.
Dal Hawkins, once one of the great
est lightweight scrappers in the world.
is a daily visitor at Santa Anita, and
is having good success in outguessing
the pricemakerS. Hawkins won one
of the shortest fights in history when
he knocked out Martin FIaherty at
Carson City in four seconds in 1897.
He also is one of the very few fighters
who whipped Joe Cans when the latter
was in his prime.

plunge bet. There is little or no temp
tation for an owner to juggle with his
horse for a price.
Veteran horsemen in Kentucky are
upholding the machines against the
books and have kept the game going
there, where it has been attacked in
the legislature while in other states,
where it was a plain case of the people
against the bookmaker, the sport has
been outlawed. The bookmakers say
that the machines will cause failure
of the sport, but the public prefers the
machines and after the change is
made, when all hands become accus-
toned to the new order of things, the
attendance each day will grow, instead
of falling off. 1t will not be a gambling
game, but a sport, where men may
wager small sums and if they win, pull
down as much asSthey could win now
adays by plunging. The substitution of
the mutual system for the present-day
bookmaking system will popularize the
sport, remove the weighty arguments
of the opposition and restore the sport
as a sport. instead of making it a GAM
bling device.
Bookmaking cannot survive popular
sentiment, as the success of the op-
ponents of that system in every state
where a fight has been made clearly
proves, And just as long as racing is
inseparably attached to the bookmak-
ing system, just that long will it be
in constant jeopardy and be assured of
no uncertain fate. Now is the time for
the supporters of racing to become con-
vinced and get busy with plans for
reviving the game upon lines which
will remove this Objectionable feature
the bookmaking business-and SUBJ
stitute the machines. Had this been
done last fall at both California tracks
there is little doubt that there would
have been no anti-racing legislation.
Racing associations will get the 5
per cent Stockholders fee on all money
wagered on the races and this will pay
the association handsomely and in
greater volume than the money derived
from the fees exacted of bookmakers
now The boolzmakers at Santa Anita
average about twenty-five each day.
They pay $120 a day for six races.
This is $4,000 a day, which pays for the
purses offered by the association and
aids in paying some of the operating
expenses. There is not less than $780,
600 wagered each day at the track.
The per cent fee on this conservative
ly estimated sum would be $4,000, or
nearly double that which the book
makers pay to the association. This
would permit the association to give its
high value stakes and occasional hand
leaps and yet make bigger profit each
season than is derived from the book
makers now.
Bookmaking and racing must be di-
vorced and the bookmaker and the rae
ing association must be separated.
Their interests are incompatible. Rae
ing is one of the most popular pastimes
known to man, but the burden of book
making is putting it into disrepute and
outlawing it and a change is long past
due already. Racing. will be perpet-
uated in America because popular sem
timent favors lit. Bookmaking is
doomed because popular sentiment is
against it. Now is the time to begin
turning over the new leaf and start a
new epoch in the history of the great
outdoor sport.
