TENDANCE records We're broken
n at Santa Anita yesterday when
- $1,000 persons witnessed the run
ming of the New Year events, and this
record crowd was more enthusiastic
than usual and more liberal in applause,
indicating that the sport Of kings is
anything else but unpopular in this
part of the world. 1t was a representa-
tive crowd of Los Angeles citizens and
their wives, and nearly every walk in
life was represented in the vast throng.
Millionaires, merchants, lawyers, doc
tors, politicians, mining magnates and
business men generally were there. 1t
also was an orderly crowd, there being
no rowdyiSm, drunkenness or unseemly
conduct to mar the occasion in any re-
gard. DR.. J. S. Gardner, manager of
the meeting, and himself a thorough
business man and sportsman, was in
great spirits during the afternoon, and
wore a continual smile as he read the
definition Of popularity as applied to
racing as expressed in the attendance
and faces of those who were on the
grounds. The horses ran formfully, too,
and no charge of crookedness could be
lodged against the horsemen for the
performances of their horses. It was a
good days sport, and racing lost moth
ing at all by the results.
Hereafter the form chart of Santa
Anita races, minus the index numbers
and betting odds, will be printed in The
Herald. This much has been found to
be legal under the ordinances, and for
that reason and because there has been
such a howl for publication of the
chart since it was discontinued, it will
be printed as heretofore, minus the
changes already mentioned. The en-
tries, arranged alphabetically and mi
nus the index numbers, also will be
run.
The Sunny Slope handicap, at seven
furlongs, will be the feature Of an ex-
ceptionally good card at Santa Anita
this afternoon. Owing to the fact that
yesterday was New Years day and the
weekly stake feature was advanced a
day to make the card as classy and
complete as possible, there will be no
stake event to feature the card today.
But the Sunny Slope will be everything
that is required or expected Of a stake
event, MINIS the value Of the money
offered, and a field that is far above
that which raced for the rich prize
Offered yesterday in the Rose selling
stakes, from the viewpoint of pure
class, will go to the post to contest for
the honors and money offered. This
event will have, a gross value of $500.
The third race also is a more valuable
event than the average race at Santa
Anita, being a $500 condition race for
three-year-olds and upward at one and
one-eighth miles. Another baby race
also will be one of the features, and it
will bring out a new crop of juveniles,
being three-furlong scramble for fill
lies and geldings.
There is an excellent prospect for
another new coast record in the Sunny
Slope handicap today, although 1t
seems like it always will be impossible to
set a new world record for the distance,
seven furlongs. Roseben made the
present record Of 1922 when at his best

M. L. Abbott, who formerly owned
a racing stable that was campaigned
on the coast for two or three years,
writes from Seattle to the effect that
fight club is being organized in that
city to hold boxing contests over the
ten-round route without decisions. Abb
bott is interested in the movement and
has a bunch of wealthy sportsmen as
ISOLATED with him.
Jack Redmond, whose name out of
the ring is Henry Hoppe, wants to
get into a scrap with some of the idle
light Fights hereabouts and bars none
of them. He is a most willing fighter
and usually wins, so it is difficult to
understand why he is permitted to re-
main idle. His successes locally in re-
cent months have made him good
drawing card and the fans want to see
him IN action again soon.
Red Walker got even with the Maine
stable yesterday for taking Pal away
from him via the selling race route a
few days ago. When Pal won the
third race, Walker stepped out and
boosted the selling price from $500 to
$500, forcing his new owners to give up
practically all of the purse to keep
their winner. Walker and Marklein
in a selling race war would make
things lively around the track and
it seems that this is what it will lead
to.
Famous sons of famous men, Charlie
Gates and w. "A. Clark, jr., were Wis
itors at the track yesterday. These
young multi-millionaireS are thorough
bred sportsmen, as well as keen bust
ness men, and the excitement of the
chase Uhoroughbred) appeals to them
as an excellent pastime. Clark prob
ably is more famous on the harness
circuit than with the runners, but he
is no stranger at the running tracks.
Frank Hayes, expert Handicapped
and big bettor, is among the late ar
rivals from the east. He likes the
looks of the Santa Anita game and
viii experiment with it for awhile, at
least. Now that the holidays are over
many other eastern sportsmen will
hike fer Los Angeles and the colony
should be materially increased in the

shoot at for long time to come. King
James and Meelick will carry the Hill
dreth colors and hopes in this event,
and viii be opposed by another classy
pair, Prince Ahmed and Pinkola from
the Alvey barn. Mary Antony II,
Glorio, Gemmell and Critic also are
named to start. This aggregation of
speed marvels should force a new rec
ord over a fast track. More class is
represented in this overnight handicap
than ever was seen in any stake race
hereabouts in other years.
Captain Frank King, one of the
world famous long distance oarsmen,
is anxious to arrange a match rowing
race with Prof. AL Treloar Of the Los
Angeles Athletic club, to be rowed at
an early day. He suggests that the
race be rowed over a. course extending
from Venice pier to the Long wharf,
Port Los Angeles, and return, a dis
lance Of six miles each way. Pure
craftsmanship would be involved, only,
as the captain is willing to race for
the glory and a trophy that would
serve as souvenir for the winner It
certainly would be an event that would
excite great interest, owing to the
prominence of both men and the long
course over which the race would be
rowed, and it is hoped that the match
can be arranged.
Forbearance has ceased to be a vir-
tue with the racegoing public and
since the Pacific Electric, which has
enjoyed a practical monopoly Of the
business from Los Angeles to the
races and return, shows no DISPOSE
ton to improve its service for the ac-
commodation of its patrons, an or
ganized effort will be made at once
to induce the Southern Pacific to put
on additional trains and arrange a
schedule that will be more satisfactory
to the public than that which is in
effect on the Pacific Electric lines. The
plans generally discussed by the inter
eSted public are to ask tn Southern
Pacific to run trains from the Arcade
station at II, II, 1890 and 1 O'clock
and, returning, leave the track at AIS,
4:30, 4:45 and o'clock This service
will furnish seats for all and permit
a large number of those who are
forced to remain at the track until
5 o'clock an opportunity to ride home
without having to stand up and hold
onto straps or their neighbours cloth
ing during the long run to the city. If
the Southern Pacific grants the re-
quest it's rival will lose about two
thirds of its present patronage and a
longs suffering public will be much
obliged.
The policy of the racing association
to furnish owners of handicap horses
with plenty of opportunities for rae
ing their high-class bread-winners will
be continued throughout next week,

Six runs were made in the first four

entire game, refusing to leave the box
allowing one of the f1elders to pitch.
