One of the features of the evening s
entertainment was the appearance of
Cliff Reuman, champion middleweight
boxer of the coast, as an opponent for
Bill Desmond during the prize fight

the second round, felled by a blow
which passed far above his head. The
champion could be seen indulging in a
hearty laugh as he lay stretched out
in a supposed unconscious state.
Many members of the Los Angeles

drawn there by the presentation Of the
prizes and to see their idol, Cliff Reu-
man. in his latest role.

A lonesome and badly scared jack
rabbit created much merriment just as
the horses were going to the post for
the first race yesterday. He became
disturbed while out in the centerfeld,
eating barley or something else. and
away he flew. He went for home by
leaps and bounds, but jumped in the
ditch that extends around the track
and then started on the back trail. The
crowds cheered him at every jump
until he disappeared in the tall grass.
He ran over near the starting post
where the ponies were lined up for the
start, and just as they broke he seemed
to be leaving the barrier on even terms,
only on the infield instead of the track.
Until he disappeared he outfooted the
ponies with greatest ease. He did his
final quarter in twenty seconds.
Frank Chance is about to purchase an
orange grove near Los Angeles, and
this gives rise again to the rumor that
the great baseball general will settle
down in California when he is through
with baseball. Frank and his wife are
very much enamored of Southern Cali
fornia and do not hesitate in praising
it at every opportunity. At present,
however, Frank is considering only the
investment feature in seeking to make
the purchase.
Tom Darmody has been missed for
several days by the friends with whom
he associates when at the races, and
it was learned yesterday that he is
quite sick at Arrowhead Springs He
has been there for several days and
probably will remain week or two
longer.
The first bad spill of the meeting
occurred in the baby race yesterday,
when German Silver and Charles J.
Harvey fell after turning for home.
Jockey e. Martin sustained a severe
cut on the scalp when Charles J. Har-
vey fell with him, and German Silver
fell over the Scorpion colt, unseating
Jockey Yorke and Earring him consid-
erably, although not causing any seri-
Gus injury. Martin had to submit to
the needle to close the scalp wound
and may not ride for several days.
Charles J. Harvey fell first, and Ger
man Silver fell over him. The slippery
track caused the accident.
Enoch Wishard, trainer and manager
for the Adolph Spreckels stable, has
increased his request for stalls by ap
plying for an even dozen. The horses
will arrive today from Emeryville and
will be raced at Santa Anita through
out the season. They include Voorhees,,
Cotytto, Torbellino and several two
year-olds that are eligible to the Juve-
nile stakes of the local season. Wish
ard is coming south with the horses.

WHITTIER FOOTBALL STAR

Renneker, the former Whittier col
lege football sar and a heavyweight
wrestler who, it is said, can hold his
own with any of the amateur wrestlers
in Southern California, is trying to Sc
cure an opponent from Los Angeles
for an exhibition wrestling bout. Will
liam Purdy of the Whittier Y. M. G. A.
has been comforting with Al Treloar of
the Los Angeles Athletic club in re-
gard to a match bout, and it is posi-
BILE that one of the heavyweight mat
artists of the club will go against Rem
neker. The latter weighs close to 200
pounds and is compactly built.

Manager McCarey, who established
nent basis in the south, extends to the
jockeys who ride winners today, to-
morrow and Friday at Santa Anita a
free ticket to the McFarland-Hyland
scrap Friday night, and these breads
may be had by calling upon him at
any time after brackets are placed
around the numbers of their mounts
during these three days. Mac formerly
made book at local race meetings, and
always has had a kindly feeling for
the boys who pilot the nags around
the oval. His offer is made out Of his
own good will as he never sees the
boys except when they are in the sad
die, and the offer undoubtedly will be
seized upon by those who qualify by
winning at least one race in the three
days named.
Little Lord Faunleroy is plastering
the billboards, windows and entrances
to public buildings with the posters
announcing the big benefit boxing show
for the purpose of raising money to
aid the sufferers in the earthquake in
Italy, and the energy which the
little old baldhead is putting into the
plans speaks louder than words his
sufferers. The big show will be staged
one week from tonight in the Jeffries
arena at Vernon, and nearly all the
professional ScrapperS now in the
southland have volunteered their SER
vices. Paclxy Mcfarland, Dick Hyland,

Flynn, George Memsic Sam Langford,

attractive card already is assured. An
other battle royal, which Monk is ar
ranging, will be one of the novelty fea-
lures that will prove very attractive.
An amateur wrestling match also is
being arranged.
Mudlarks by the dozen will be out to-
day at Santa Anita, and owing to the
unsatisfactory track conditions the
handicap feature was called off, which
makes the offering another selling
platter card. Notwithstanding this fact,
some good horses will go to the post,
and the chief fields of other days will
not prevail exclusively today. Since
the rains have turned the track into a
sea Of mud, horseme nand the patroniz-
ing public are hoping that it will con-
tinue in that condition for a few days,
as it will furnish established form of
many horses that otherwise would be
lacking next time a heavy track pre-
walls. Large fields will prevail in all
events except the second and fifth. The
short stretch Of road that leads from
San Marino to the track is in such
poor conditions that the rains have
made automobiling a difficult and I'M
pleasant undertaking, and very few
buzz wagons have been driven from
Los Angeles to trackside in the last
two or thre days. Barney Oldfeld,
who would climb telephone pole or
a tree just as quickly as he would drive
along a fine boulevard, does not mind
the condition of the roads, but nearly

and each is a walking gazetteer OF all
things pertaining to the turf.
Jockey Treubel yesterday completed
the formaIities of becoming restored TO
full fellowship on the turf by paying
the fine of $500 that was assessed
against him a fortnight ago. This big
sum makes quite large hole in his
bank roll, but he had no alternative eX-
cept to pay or remain under the ban.
The crack riders, Powers, Schilling
and Archibald, had to take a back seat
yesterday. MCGEE, who never has been
credited with being a sensation of any
kind, rode half of the winners, Howard
piloted a pair, and Schilling finally
managed to squeeze in with one.
Another three-cushion billiard tour
nament is to be started next Monday
night at Hen Berry's Hoffman parlors,
and while only six entries have been
received up to the hour set for closing
the entry list, there is good class in
volved, and it will be one of the most
interesting billiard events held in Los
Angeles in many a day. Berry offers
a $50 suit of clothes to the winner Of
the first prize, the Brunswick-Balke-
Collender company offers $50 cue
as second prize, and other prizes have
ish, high run and high average. The
first game will be played Monday
night, beginning at 8 o'clock, and will
be at fifty points. 1t will be round
robin affair and will require thirty-six
nights Of play, as only one game will
be played each night and a regular
schedule is being arranged for the
event.
According to a telegram which Hen
Berry received last week from Cal
Ewing, the Coast league president is
due to arrive in Los Angeles before
the end of the week, when plans for
enlarging the Coast league to a six
club circuit will be discussed and the
details of organizing the other south
ern club will be arranged. Continuous
baseball is assured already for the Los
Angeles cranks for the season of 1909,
and as it will be in the nature of an
experiment and the future of contin-
uouS baseball here will be hanging in
the balance, it will be up to the fans
to get up ginger and show that en-
thusiastic support which continuous
baseball demands to be a success. The
Coast league magnates seem inclined
to do the right thing by Berry and Los
Angeles and undoubtedly will find the
fans ready to second, the motion any
time they want to start anything
The neat and thorough manner in
which Ralph Galloway disposed of Bat
Ting Johnson at San Diego last Mon
day night has caused many fight bugs
to become suspicious. They profess to
believe that Sam Langford was the
Galloway at issue, and that he fought
the big Russian under an assumed
name. Inasmuch as Sam is in Frisco
and Galloway has been training in San
Diego for fortnight there is no
chance for such thing to be pulled
off. About the next thing in order is
to match Langford and Galloway for
a mauling match at one Of the local
clubs. and it will be moneymaker for
the lucky promoter who lands the
match. This Galloway brand of maui
ing is what the fans long for, and
Langford is about the prescription for

The University Fall
Term Opened

Students from all parts of Nevada
and also from California and eastern
states are coming into Reno to attend
the University of Nevada. Today the
new students are taking examinations
and displaying their credentials and to-
morrow registration will commence.
The secretary of the president
states tnat last year when the college
closed there were about 2S0 students
registered and that from all indica
tons there will be more thatn 800 stu
dents in attendance at the college this
year. This will be quite an increase
in the number of students but it Is
possible that the number will even
De more than 800.
zines OF the Mackay SchooI of Mines
have accomplished much and it is be-
Iieved that there will be a number of
students come to Reno to take
a mining course. The Mackay School
of Mines is without doubt one Of the
best in the United States.
All the professors are now in the
city and are ready to begin their duties
of instructing young men and women
in the difficult branches of a college
education, and will be in their class
rooms on Thursday morning. This
year there will be number of new
professors and the standard of the col
lege will be somewhat increased.
The Mackay athletic feld and train
ing quarters are now completed and
ready for occupancy and as soon as the
college opens the athletes will begin
training for football.-Gazette.

Sunday ever ing two Mexican sec

in a saloon on the outskirts of Inlay
Nlich resulted in a serious stabbing al
fray. Becoming angered at remark
made by his companion, Aniset Munel
drew a knife ard plunged it into the
body of Jose Paz, inflicting a danger

and Officer Moore were communicated
with and left on No. for Inlay
Upon their arrival DR.. Samuels attend

would-be murderer, but early the next
morning he was found secreted on an
easthound freight, when he was taken
INTO custody by the train crew and
turned over to Officer Lewis upon the
arrival of the train at this station.
Yesterday Munel was taken to the
hospital where he was positively iden
