Thirty trained sinewey athletes gath
cred from every part of the country,
every man of them ready to make the
effort of his life, will line up in front
Of the Los Angeles Athletic club at $3.50
O'Clock this morning, when Robert A.
Rowan fires the gun to start them Oh
the long run to Venice.
The contests in line will represent
the finest long distance racing material
ever gathered together for a Marathon
contest in the west. Most of the run
ners have records behind them, and the
pace which they will take and main
tain throughout the race will be a
heart breaker. Not only are the men
experienced runners but they know
every foot of the course of today's race
and have gone over it time and again,
planning their campaign and timing
themselves for the distance until each
man knows just what he can do and
what time he can make.
Records made during the past few
weeks Of training have been jealousy
guarded by most Of the contestants,
but many of them do not hesitate in
saying they will negotiate the course
in 1:45, or fifteen minutes under that
made last race.
Many persons who have watched the
men during months of hard consistent
training are not backward in asserting
that they believe a record will be made
today for the whole United States. Ed
DIETRICH covered the distance of fifteen
and one-half miles in September in
2:01:30 and was first winner of The
Herald cup which is to be awarded to
the winner of three consecutive races.
Stanley Confident
William Stanley of San francisco
claims to have made the run in 1:5z
without exerting himself Stanley holds
the record for long distance walk San
Francisco to Los Angeles. If confidence
can help a man to win Stanley will be
in first at the finish.
Ed DIETRICH, winner of the last Mara
thon, is still the favorite of many. He
certainly demonstrated that he has
great abilities as a runner and he says
he is in better condition now than last
September.
H. L. Becker of Coronado, who has
been training for two months on the
beach at San Diego, feels that he will
have no trouble in winning todays con-
test. He has taken part in many Mar

CHAMPION WRESTLERS
WILL Defend TITLES.
LOS ANGELES ATHLETIC CLUB
TO HOLD CONTEST
Former Victors VIII Meet New As
pirants in January-Many Men
Now in Training for
Event

Amateur wrestling champions of
Southern California in the lightweight.
middle and welterweight and heavy
weight classes will defend their titles
against many aspirants at the Los An
geles Athletic club prize championship
wrestling contest to be held January 20
in the gymnasium of the club at 534
South Spring street.
The coming event will be one of the
best and most important wrestling con-
tests ever held in Southern California.
Entries are coming in slowly, but many
wrestlers have signif1ed their intention
of taking part in the contest, and the
nearly twenty aspirants for amateur
honors are working daily under the SUI
pervisiOn of Al Treloar in the gym
nasium of the club.
The men who are in training will not
know with whom they are to be
matched until the night of the bouts,
when they will draw lots. Any COM
petitor is likely to draw any other man
in his class.
One match will settle things for some
of the wrestlers, while others may have
to down several competitors before
wedding the contestants down to the
champions.
In the lightweight class, 1876 pounds
and under, George Refer, the Southern
California lightweight champion, will
defend his title against D. F. Harris
and S. N. Loew and possibly others
who may enter. Refer has the reputa-
ton of being the cleverest little wrest-
Ter in the club, but the men watched
against him are showing splendid form
and one Of them may be successful ir
carrying away the championship
honors.
Middle and welterweights will be
grouped, and this class will contain the
largest number of entries. Harvey
Hicks is the Southern California well
terWeight champion and George W.
Isaacs holds the Southern California
championship in the middIeweight class.
Anyone weighing from 135 to 15S pounds
can find place in this class.
Isaacs and Hicks will have no walk
over, judging from the men who are
to be matched against them. Arthur
Howard is the dark horse in this class
He weighs the limit. 158 pounds. and
has a wonderfully strong grip. While
not SO experienced as the champions,
he is not an unlikely winner. He is
sure to give his adversaries a hard
tussle.
Allen Davenport and E. c. Price are
showing excellent form and progress
and are made of championship material.
"A number Of well known and power
full wrestlers are entered in the heavy
weight class, and there is the widest
speculation as to the probable winner.
A. G. Jorgstroff is the present Southern
California champion in the amateur
class. He weighs 206 pounds and is in
excellent condition. Last year he de-
feated all competitors with the excep-
ton of Ernest Cochrane, who had just
won two contests, and being worn out
he did not enter a third match with
Jorgstroff.
Ernest Cochrane has been keeping
up his training while at Berkeley and
is in good form, as was demonstrated
Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1909-01-01

on the 18th, when he and Dick Retzer
gave an exhibition at the New Years
eve jinks. Retzer and Cochrane are
very evenly matched. Unfortunately
their recent match was brought to a
sudden end by both men falling off the
platform before either had gained any
decided advantage. Either one will
give Jorgstroff a hard rub for the
championship.
Sweet May Enter
Jim Sweet, who IS being trained by
Prof. Dewitt G. Van Court to box with
Jorgstroff, may also enter the wrest-
ling contest as a competitor for the
heavy championship. He weighs 200
even and is a giant Of strength and
muscle.
Frank Sentous is the veteran wrestler
of the club. Although past 80 years of
age he is strong and well muscled and
will be a likely candidate for the heavy
weight honors.
A. K. Aymer was last years winner
of the Southern California light-heaVy-
weight championship. He is reported
to be in better form than ever
w z. Parker is a new man in the
heavyweight class. He weighs It's
pounds and is said by Mr.. Treloar to
be the strongest wrestler in the club.
With a little science drilled into him
between now and the date of the con-
test he will make a good showing
against the more experienced wrestlers.

CHANGES WORRY
YACHTING MEN
MEASUREMENT RULES PROVE
AWKWARD PROBLEM
Members of South Coast Dory Asso-
citation Much Exercised Over An
nouncement That Uniformity
Is Compulsory

! Members of the South Coast Yacht
club are much concerned over the pro-
posed changes in the rules of measure
ment presented by the eastern confer
ence last October. The South Coast
Yacht club is practically the only one
on the Pacific coast which sails &C
cording to the rules adopted by the
eastern conference
! The main change in the measure
ment proposed is in the method of
proposed plan it will be taken from
the water line
Members of the club who have con-
templated building new boats are
waiting until the discussion is definite
ly settled before deciding their plans.
They naturally desire to build their
boats so as to secure the utmost adj
vantage under the rules.
In case the proposed new rules are
adopted Walter Folsom probably will
not build his new sixty-foot racer,
which he has been planning for some
time His Mischief III will answer all
requirements under the new rules and
he will be given handicaps which will
insure him a fair advantage in races
with larger boats.
Several launches for business pur-
poses are being built by the Fulton
Marine Construction company and will
be turned out completed in the next
few weeks. Joe Fellows is also busy
constructing and remodeling several
work boats.
Members of the South Coast Dory
association are at daggers' points over
the decision of the committee in charge
to enforce rigidly the rule requiring
the boats to be uniform in every par
ticular. There are many points of
contention which arise from any effort
at making a uniform rule for a class
of sailing boats
In the first race of the winter season
several Of the boats had their masts
raked aft, which seemed to give them
an advantage over the rest. Sail meas
of discussion. Some Of the sails have
some boats have a larger sail area by
several feet than others. These slight
differences will make a difference Of
few minutes over a long course of
several miles and may lose the race.
Then certain owners have been
greasing their boats to overcome the
resistance of the water. This I'M
doubtedly makes a difference of a few
seconds in each mile sailed. These are
only a few of the technical and diff
cult points which the regatta COM
mittee is trying to settle in a manner
satisfactory to all owners.
Joe Fellows has sent east for a new
sail outfit. He is also having his boat
sandpapered and repainted, in order to
make the hull smoother. Tt is likely
that other owners will follow his ex-
ample.

athon contests with famous racers and
knows what he can do.
Henry w. Wheeler, veteran walker OF
many years experience, regards him
self as sure winner. Although 81
years of age, Wheeler is in the pink OF
physical condition and will make the
youngsters hustle. He took part in the
Mount Wilson hill climb in 1907.
Another veteran Of the Mount Wilson
event and a man who has won places
in several long distance contests in this
country and on the continent is Pau
Reinwald.

Charles Boscha is a general favorite
with members of the Los Angeles Ath-
letic club who have watched him train
He took second place in the last Mar
athon to Venice: He is in splendid
condition and will be able to make bet

Joseph K. Korinek comes from Chi

good time records in many eastern
Marathon contests. He will represent
the Monticello Athletic club of his ma
tive city.

Roseberv on War.

Addressing the representatives of
the British press, Lord Rosebery has
expressed the opinion that present con-
dItions were ominous in portent of
wars. Lord Rosebery's wide experience
makes his view more than usually sig
nificant. He has been premier of Great
Britain and head of the Foreign office
and until the split in the liberal party
was one Of the most conspicuous fig
ures in British political life.
But as there are no differences be-
tween nations which might not easily
yield to diplomatic treatment 1t is ex-
cessive armament, which has led the
nations more nearly up to an equality
than ever before, that is the disquiet-
ing feature. Great havies have been
created, and armies drilled and equip
ped with the latest destructive appli-
ances. A little rashness might easily
lead some country to a desire to try
out the forces thus created, the i'm
pulse being the same which induces
a boy to experiment with a new
Ratchet, Consciousness of strength is
q temptation to settle by force, differ
ences which could otherwise be solved
peaceably.
The most potent reason for ancient
wars is, paradoxical As it may APP
pear. the one which in modern days
operates as a brake on warlike tenden-
cies-nAmely, the financial reason.
Practically every nation has a legacy of
debt from past wars and these are a
heavy tax upon the people. Modern in
vention has made war not only more
deadly, but more expensive and few
national treasure chests are equal to
the strain. The burden of war prepar-
alton is scarcely less heavy than that
of war itself. How long will the Ma
tons OF Europe keep 1t up?
Omaha daily bee., 1909-06-07
Lobby Law a Farce.

The disclosure hat the time limit
for hling expense accounts required by
Nebraska's lobby law has expired with
only nine out Of ninety-two registered
lobbyists complying with this provision
Of the law simply emphasizes the farce
that has been made of the whole
thing.
Everybody knows that from the be-
ginning TO the end OF the late legisla-
tive session the state capital was in
tested with a horde of shrewd and un-
principled lobbyists representing all
sorts Of interests, and that the corpor-
alton lobby got in its work effectively
on most Of the so-called undesirable
legislation" The lobby law enacted
at the preceding session was intended
to make the lobbyists come out into
the open and stop the insidious work
which is always performed in dark
corners and behind closed doors. But
TO make such q law operative would
require the cordial cooperation of the
lawmakers themselves.
The majority members Of our recent
democratic legislature, with few excep-
lions, were entirely out OF accord with
that law. Instead of discouraging the
lobby invasion they encouraged it and
helped the lobbyists to circumvent the
lobby law.
The requirement that sworn expense
accounts be filed by the lobbyists
within sixty days after adjournment
goes on the theory, presumably, that 1t
would tend to prevent disbursements
for questionable purposes, when, OF
course, no one who hired himself out
as a lobbyist and used none corruptly
would hesitate to juggle his expense
accounts to vel II up.
It is no wonder, however, that those
who registered under the misappre-
hension that the law was to be strictly
enforced, finding that the provisions
of the law were generally ignored,
should neglect TO make a public &C
counting and disregard all the require
fnents that it did not suit them to
comply with.
