ARGE fields and a fair class Of
horses will feature the racing
events at Santa Anita this after
noon and as tomorrow will be stake
day, there will be no handicap this
afternoon, the day being given over to
the selling platers. In the absence of
handicap feature, the fourth race
probably will prove the most attractive
event Of the afternoon, as it brings
out an unusually large field for an
overland journey at one and a quarter
miles. Fourteen horses are named to
start and few, if any, scratches will be
made. The third race, at seven fur
longs, has a crack bunch of sprinters
and should furnish a great race. Friend
Harry, one of the best Of the new
crop of 3-year-olds on the coast, will
be among those that will go to the
post and will be opposed by Maid of
Gotham, Joe Gaitens, Donatus, Fair
Annie and Enfield. The fifth race, If
aspect, will be the knottieSt problem
the handicappers have yet tackled, as
there is so much speed and it is so
evenly matched that it will be a real
horse race all the way. With La
Gloria, Fleming, Tollgatherer, Number
One, Pal, Canardo, Lord Nelson, Am
pedo, Entire Nous, Duke of Bridge
water and Lord of the Forest hooking
up there will be some swift work done
in the six furlongs they will travel.
There is excellent class in all the fields.
from the selling platter standard of
measurement and the sport should
be in accordance. In the event of rain,
scratches will be more numerous than
otherwise.
Eddie Keevin, manager of a stable"
of scrappers almost as extensive and
quite as classy as that over which
Teddy Murphy presides, is anxious
that the sporting public accept the
claims Of Jimmy Walsh as the bantam
champion Of the world and ignore the
claims Of several other near-champs.
Eddie pulls records as proof Of his
contention that Jimmy is the only ban
tam in the world who has the right to
claim the abandoned honors and says:
'I see no reason why Jimmy should
agree to make lis pounds for anybody,
despite the demand of Johnny Coulon.
The bantanweight championship limit
is 116 pounds and always has been at
that figure as long as I can remember,
which is as far back as the days of

FIVE CAPITALISTS
TO BACK NEW CLUB
President Herman of Outlaws States
That Los Angeles Men Have Un-
dertaken to Finance Team
Here for Next Season

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 7.-Presi-
dent Frank Herman Of the State Base
ball league returned from a trip to Los
Angeles today with the announcement
that State league team would be or
gained in the southern city at once.
Herman said that five Los Angeles cap
italists, whose names he refused to di-
vulge, had undertaken to finance the
club, and that three ground sites had
been considered
Herman said further that the Harri-
son street grounds in this city had
been procured by the State league and
work on the grandstands would be
started at once. He said that the team
which fought under the Stockton col
ors last year would be transferred to
San Francisco and a new team re-
cruited for Stockton Immediately.
There will be no change in the man
agement of the Stockton club.
Regarding the organization of the
Los Angeles team, Herman would say
nothing further than that the club
would be placed under a player per-
haps Frank Chance. This, he said, had
rot been decided.

For pitchers there are four promising
men IN the persons of Chic Wachob,

Wachoo is brother to Peter Wa

under contract to twirI for the Pasa-

PACKY RESTS
FOR ONE DAY
HyIand Holding Himself at Three
Pounds Over and Is Working for
Condition, as He Finds 1t Very
Easy to Make the Weight

Packy Mcfarland took day off yes
terd&y and cut out the exercising stunts
in the gymnasium. The tramp on the
road in the early forenoon was all that
he did in the way of work. After the
rest of yesterday he will go into his
training with renewed vigor today and
will do eight or ten rounds with the
mits every day until next Wednesday.
Mcfarland is supremely confident OF
upholding his great record in the ring
when he meets Fighting Dick Hyland
at McCarey's pavilion next Friday
evening for a ten-round scrap. The
weight of 1873 at o'clock the afternoon
of the fight will be easy for him 10
make, and in fact, it would not be
such a difficult task for Packy to do
the figure ringside, but with the easy
money floating around at the better
figures, Gilmore does not believe in
taxing his protege too severely. Let
Battling Nelson come forward, however,
with any proposition embodying the
ringside stipulation and Packy will
jump at the opportunity of closing the
match at once.
In the Hyland camp confidence also
prevails, and the methods of Jack Per-
kins, Hyland's manager, are showing
good effects on the boy in training, for
he appears strong and active at his
present weight-136 pounds, at which
figure Perkins will try to keep him
until the approach of the date for the
battle with Mcfarland. Perkins fig
ures that Packy will gain several
pounds after weighing in, and he hopes
to have Dick in such condition that he
will just tip the beam at the agreed
mark and that he also will benefit by
the early scaling.
Hyland did plenty of work in the
afternoon at his Eastside training quar-
tiers, after an early run on the Pasa-
dena highway. He boxed two sessions
with Walter Little, three with Danny
Los Angeles herald., 1909-01-08

The prospect for successful fight by
the outlaws is so poor that it really is
the occasion for surprise that even the
outlaw magnates can make themselves
believe they have a chance to win In
an open warfare between the Coast and
State leagues there can be only one
result-defeat and financial failure for
the outlaws. There is no room in Los
Angeles for three league clubs, and
since the Coast league is going ahead
with its plans for putting in another
club here and thereby furnish a con-
tinuous schedule in the south. it is
easier for the fans to remain loyal to
the Coast league, Hen Berry and the
Angels than 1t is to create a new line
Of loyalty to the would-be invaders,
based upon dislOyalty to the old friends
and a desire to help out the enemies of
organized baseball and the bunch in
Los Angeles that has given the city
pennants by the Wholesale.
Hen Berry has received telegram
from Cal Ewing, who IS in Chicago, in
which the Coast league president no.
titles Berry that the other club is as
sured for Los Angeles or one of its
suburbs. This means that the Coast
league will be enlarged to a six-club
circuit by the addition of Sacramento
and another club in the south. 1t also
ahead with its plans for leaving no
vacant playing dates here and in San
Francisco and Oakland. With con-
tinuous Coast league ball here and at
Frisco and practically Oakland and a
Coast league club in Sacramento, the
Calf mia field is nicely occupied by
the league. And since organized base
ball, which means all the important
baseball leagues in the country, will
furnish the financial sinews of war for
the Coast league, while the outlaws
must depend upon a passing-the-hat
method Of raising its war fund it does
not require the services of a prophet
to forecast the resultant this is not
in violation Of the tipping ordi-
nance either. Local capitalists and
good sportsmen will finance the new
southern club, and Barry says that he
Will guarantee that it will be a con-
tender for the rag all through the
race-one worthy of the name of Los
Angeles, Venice or whatever citv If
may represent in the league. Every
Coast league club is strengthening its
lineup for next season, and the classy
ball furnished in the season Just ended
will be greatly improved upon.

champion. Terry McGovern and Ped
lar Palmer fought at 116 pounds for the
world title, as did Frankie Neil and
Harry Forbes. Later, Neil defaulted
the title to Walsh by admitting his in
ability to scale the notch, even in the
face of a $4,000 purse that was offered
for them to fight for before the Tono-
pah Athletic club Of Nevada. Jimmy
has defeated all the bantams recog-
nized in the near-championship class
on both sides Of the pond, including
Digger Stanley, who whipped Owen
Moran, and while we are anxious to
defend the title against any claims of
CoulOn, we insist upon the champion
ship limit Of 116 pounds. Coulon has
abandoned his claim to the 105-pound
championship and now wants to be
recognized as the bantam CHAMPION
but he must whip Walsh before his
claim will be worth very much" Eddie
knows what he is talking about and
there Is no serious objection to Walsh
posing as the champion and in sporting
circles he is recognized as such. And
by the way, he will hold that title for
long time to come unless some new
conner shows up better than the pres
ent crop of near-champs who dispute
his claim.
The outlaw State league promoters
are resorting to fairy tales in their
efforts at attracting attention to and
advertising their opposition to organ
lied baseball in general and the Coast
league in particular. The tale that
Frank Chance had been offered the
management of one Of the State league
clubs at a salary equal to a kings ran
som might be true in substance, as it
costs nothing to make an offer of that
kind, because a man like Chance nat
urally would turn it down without
considering it. It is too ridiculous to
require serious consideration. It is
difficult to figure out where Chance,
now drawing one Of the biggest sums
ever paid to a baseball player and
owner Of about $4,000 worth of stock
in the Chicago National League club,
could better his condition any by leav-
ing the Cubs for the "bush' league
organization that is starting a losing
fight upon the Coast league. The an
nouncement that the Coast league will
put another club in or near to Los
Angeles and give southern fans con-
tinuous baseball ends whatever hope
the outlaws might have entertained for
success with a club here, and condi-
tons are about as gloomy at Frisco.

WRESTLERS WILL
DEFEND TITLES
AMATEUR CONTEST WILL BE
HELD JANUARY 20
CHAMPIONS IN THREE CLASSES
TO MEET ASPIRANTS
Event Promises to Be of Special In
terest from Quantity and Quality
of Men Who Have
Entered

Amateur wrestling champions Of
Southern California VII meet January
20 at the Los Angeles Athletic club II
what it is expected, will be the finest
exhibition ever presented in Southern
California. The contestants are all
members of the Los Angeles Athletic
club and pupils of Al Treloar, who is
regarded as the best wrestling instruc-
tor on the coast.
Since taking charge of the gymnasi-
UNI work In the Los Angeles Athletic
club Mr.. Treloar has turned out many
amateur champions in the three classes
OF wrestlers, and his pupils have been
successful in defeating their opponents
IN every contest in which they have
been entered.
Once a year the club holds A contest
in which the champions in the three
classes are called on to defend their
titles against aspirants for honors.
This years event will be more than
usually interesting because Of the
known ability of many of the men who
will go up against the champions 1t
is more than likely that the champion
ship in at least two of the classes will
change hands.
The men are traing every day for the
coming event and Mr.. Treloar is kept
puSy IISlI ucIIiS the various aSp1rantS.
He is giving specially careful atten-
ton to new material which has de-
Veloped in the past year.
The following Will contest in the vari-
Gus classes: Lightweight and feather
weights, 1875 pounds and under, George
Retzer, D. F. Harris, S. N. Loew and
I. o. Woodruff and r. H. MaurieI:
middle and welter weights, 1876 to 15S
pounds, Harvey Hicks, George W.

port and E. G. Price; heavyweights.
over 158 pounds, A. c. Jorgstroff, Ernest
Cochrane, Dick Refer, Jim Sweet
Frank Sentous, A K. Aymer and w
z. Parker In addition to the above
there probably will be a number of
other entries before the date of the
