CONTEST
Soldier King Signs and Other
Noted SprinferS VIII Take
Part i'm Race

As a sequence TO the professionalizing
of Soldier King comes the announce
ment that the long distance runner has
at last put his signature to a contract
with Tim McGrath. The latter is now
the manager of the former for some
time to come.
McGrath has got the Marathon bug.
and will blossom out as promoter Of
long distance running events. He an
nounced that he would pull off an in
door event, the first OF its kind ever
held In the city, February at the COLI
scum. 1t will be the full Marathon
course of 26 miles, 3S5 yards. McGrath
has all the dope for holding such an
event, as he has just received the full
details from Harry Pollock. who han
died the event in New York.
The track at the coliseum will be a
lap longer than that of Madison square
garden. The local course takes nine
laps to the mile, while it required 10 in
New York.
McGrath claims that he will give the
public a run for its money, as he is
not paying any runner a bonus to
appear. The first three TO finish will
get so per cent of the gross gate re-
will mean that they will have to do
some running. A big house will be an
incentive to win.
Among those who have entered in the
contest are: Soldier King, William
Stanley. who walked to Los Angeles in
IL days and took second to Miller in
the race from Los Angeles to Venice
and George 3. Miller. better known as
event. Miller is now in Los Angeles
but Will be in the city soon to finish
up his training for the contest.
The entries will close Saturday night
who wish to enter. McGrath said this
would give Connolly a chance to come in

Governor Prevents Racing
on Suburban Track
[Speeial Dispatch 10 The CaIIl

Especial Dispoich 10 The Call
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 25.-The Sub
urban racetrack failed to operate to-
day and the races were indefinitely
postponed on account of the firm stand
taken by Governor Sanders District
Attorney Marrero Of Jefferson parish,
where the Suburban track is located
was ousted from the prosecution of the
test case by order of Governor Sanders
today, and District Attorney st. Clair
Adams of New Orleans was transferred
to Judge Edrengton's district court.
When Judge Edrengton's court opened
today Adams objected TO going to trial
on the evidence in hand, alleging the
arrest was a subterfuge. He said the
betting on which the racetrack ofncials
sought to test the Locke law was an
innocent game quite different from the
book making practiced for a week by
book makers at the track, and that it
was individual" hence it would be
useless to try the accused on the charge
against them.
Judge Edrengton granted Adams re-
quest for postpOnement over the pro-
tests of the Suburban track owners

1t will be observed that Barney
Schrelbers wonderful horse Jack Atkln
occupies the post of honor. jack At
kin is a nonmudder, and as 1t is a
certainty that the race will be run
over a muddy track, he may as Well be
dismissed from consideration. Resti-
gouche, next on the list in point OF
weight, is also out of the question as
a probable starter, having spread a
foot in the race which he won Tor ). e.
Hildreth at Arcadia Saturday. King
James, another of the Hildreth candi-
dates well up among the top weights,
is supposed to have no special liking
for muddy going, but Hildreth IS cred
tied with having decided TO snip MN
north tomorrow to try for the big stake,
together with Montgomery, which has
been treated only a little more leniently.
DR.. Rowell. trainer for T. II. Williams.
has announced that he has no idea of
starting Big Chief, another of the top
weights, for the reason that the morse
is averse to slippery going.
Firestone, which gets in with ia
pounds, will be the reliance of the
Williams stable. f. A. Forsythe. who
heads the list of winning owners at
Emeryville, nominated nothing for the
race but Dorante, to which the handi-
capper has assigned ia pounds. Horse
men who inspected the weights after
they had been posted at the track yes
terday were inclined to the opinion
treated in view of the fact that he had
easily won the Christmas handicap,
which was at the Burns distance, with
116 pounds up, incidentally beating
Firestone, Montgomery and other Burns
candidates very decfsively. Milford
which ran second in the Christmas
handicap, also gets in very nicely, hav-
ing been asked TO carry only 80 pounds,
which is two more than he carried
Christmas day.
1t looks as if the starters would be
recruited from this list: Colonel Jack,
Arasee, Gowan, Don Enrique, Early
Tide, Dorante, Montgomery, King
James, Milford, Clamor, Red Leaf, Palo
Alto, Animus, Dominus Arvi, Light
Wool, Stanley Fay, Firestone and Malt
