the scene of battle, but games have
been scheduled for Pasadena, San Di-

ming, accurate and long distance
throwing together with fungo hitting
and several short dashes will top off

ter league will have an excellent op-
portunity to match their ability with
big leaguers.

"Dollie' Gray win do the twirlins Tor
the leaguers and will be opposed by
the best talent which Manager Colic
of the Santa Ana team can muster

HERALDS SPORTS AND PASTIMES.

Athletics will receive a welcome when
they clash in this city on December II.
Don't seem to be able to get away
from Boggs. This is about three
straight.
Herr Barney Dreyfuss, president OF
the Pittsburg worlds champions, gives
the laugh to the report that he is going
to take his club out of the National
league and place it in the American
league. 1.-THE water is too cold right
now to do any jumping" replied Drey-
fuss to a Pittsburg interviewer who
asked him what truth there was in the
rumor. Were too high UP to make a
leap" was Secretary Locke's comment.
Hughie Mcmahon, who trained Bat
Ting Nelson for his fight with McGoy-
ern three years ago, and who has since
met Mike SchreCk. Hugo Kelley and
other boxers of note, is now in Denver,
which he expects to make his home.
Stanley Robson of the st. Louis
Cardinals seems to be the man who
stall cast the vote which is to decide
whether John Heydler or John M, Ward
shall be president of the National
league next year. Both factions claim
him, but Robson is saving wood and
Saying uoLuiHS.
Al Rogers, whose last appearance at
Maud terminated in such quick time' ls
after a ten-round bout with some first
class boy. Charlie Palmer, who is man
aging Rogers, believes that If his boy is
given q chance he will be near the top
of the heap In short order.
Looks as If Madeline Musgrave might
have a chance with Bubbling Water
tomorrow in the San Mateo handicap.
With muddy going some unlocked for
results may be the order of the day.
As nothing has been heard from
George Memsic in the past few days,
and no transportation has been for
warded him by the Pacific Athletic
club, 1t is not likely that this boy will
be seen at Maud Junction in the imme-
date future. At any rate. If Memsic
should put in an appearance he would
be a better drawing card than Cyclone
Thompson.
Larney Lichtenstein has taken a long
flight of fancy in asking for a cyclone
Thompson-Ad Wolgast fight. 'I do not
think it at all likely that a fighter who
put up such a poor exhibition as did
Thompson in his last local appearance
will be matched to fight Wolgast or any
other boy by this club" said Secretary
Hancock yesterday.
Play straight, place and show-Ad
Wolgast to stay ten rounds with Frank
Picato.

ATTELL AWARDED
CLOSE DECISION
"Foxy" Abe Is Extended to Win from
Charlie White-Decision of
Referee Barry is
Hooted

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Dec. 6.--Abe At
tell, champion featherwelght of the
world, was forced to extend himself to
the limit to get a decision over Charlie
White of Chicago in an eight-round
contest tonight.
The decision was unpopular.
At long range White had all the bet
ter of the fighting, landing right and
left almost at will to the champion S
head and body, but his blows seemed 20
lack steam, and only once did he stag
ger Attell. Attell forced the fighting
throughout in the cilnches and punished
White severely with short arm 1abs to
wind and head.
White proved himself a worthy OPP
ponent OF the champion, dancing away
from his rushes and taking little
punishment. Attell was the first to
show blood, vicious right uppercut
landing flush on his mouth. Not until
the last round did he draw blood from
Whites nose and mouth.
The eighth round was the fastest,
both men fighting head to head. 1t
was on AttelPs superior inflghting that
Referee Barry based his decision, which
was hooted by many in the rooms

Conley has been doing some work at
Venice and will continue to train at

day morning in preparation for his

IT ENRY BERRY again displayed
the good sense which reposes
below that blue sky-piece when
he yesterday refused a tempting offer
for Pitcher Thorsen. How do you
suppose we're going to grab that pen
nant next year without old 'Bul
Thorsen.' said the president of tht
Los Angeles ball club. Nothing doing
at all on this Thorsen proposition
And in this he is backed up by every
Los Angeles fan who wants to see
the pennant of 1910 where the flag OF
1909 should have been.
Whatever impression Ad Wolgast
may have made upon Pacific coast fans
by his decisive defeat of Powell, our
eastern contemporaries still think that
the Milwaukee whirlwind would stand
little chance with Battling Nelson. The
following from a prominent middle
west daily is a good example Of the
way Wolgast now is rated throughout
the east and middle west:
"Wolgast is a fairly tough customer,
but not in Nelson's class when it comes
to taking punishment, and Powell did
not even succeed in Furnishing him to
any extent. Nelson, unless he has gone
back at a startling rate, is a faster
man than Wolgast, and q more scien-
tifc fighter: that is, If scientific fight
ing is taken TO mean infiicting the
greater amount of punishment on an
opponent without taking more in re-
turn than can be assimilated safely.
Nelson is a past master at getting in
on his opponents body and beating
him into submission while taking the
latters punches where they will do
little harm outside of cutting and
bruising. In other words, it Is case
of reaching a vital spot himself and
allowing the other fellow to waste his
energy on one that is not. Judging
from the battle with Wolgast, Powell
might make the Battler's face look
like a map of any kind of country you
care to name, but in the meantime
Nelson would be making the young
ster's food digesting department go
on n strike. Youngsters sometimes
develop a punch after gaining expert
ence. and this is no small measure true
of Nelson: but, until Powell does de-
velop one that registers more Loot
hounds than any he showed against
Wolgast, he had better Keep away
from the Battler. Otherwise he Will
have his championship aspirations
nipped in the bud before they have
even a chance TO bloom"
No racing. no baseball and only a
prize fight about every two weeks 70
remind one that the Angel city is al
legged to be the sporting center OF the
south. Even If we have seen a. good
deal of baseball the All-Nationals ana

Yield to Uric-O Treatment


from the System
You are crippled with Rheumatism
and suffer excruciating pain both day
and night. You know that your blood
is poisoned with Uric and Rheumatic
Acid, and that unless this poison is
driven from your system you will ex-
perience no relief. Do you know what
a Uric-O Treatment will do in your
case? 1t will cure you as it has cured
thousands of others who have used the
remedy as recommended. Uric-O is
an internal blood treatment for Rheu-
matism >only. and by it's direct action
on the blood. muscles and kidneys, it
neutralizes the Uric acid poison, expel-
ling it from the system. Physicians
will tell you it is the only way that
this dreaded disease can be cured. It
sounds reasonable, and if you will COM
mence a Uric-O treatment at once you
will be convinced. Your local drug
gist will supply you with Uric-O at Toe
and $1.00 the bottle. you can procure
a liberal sample by sending your
name and address to the Smith Drug
