which makes the colonel feel like he
really had not lost anything.
James Butte was so dissatisfied with
the effort of Jockey Howard on Brancas
in the fifth race yesterday that he dis
solved partnership with his stable rider
Immediately after he finished in the
race. Blue thought Brancas should win
and bet accordingly. When his aged
gelding failed to show anything that
looked like speed, Butte decided to
change jockeys.
Mary Davis, which won the sixth race
in such a breezing manner, may be
another Colin when it comes to MAX
ing records. 1t was her first race,
and she never left the result in doubt
from the moment the ribbon whizzed.
She never had faced a barrier before
in her life except when being schooled
at It, When she learns something
about running she may be a regular
race horse fool.
Col. Jack Chinn, chairman of the
Kentucky state racing commission, was
visitor at Santa Anita yesterday, the
guest of his son, Phil T. Chinn. He
looks as young as his son and walks
joying excellent health. He said yes
terday that he believes that bookmak-
ing upon the New York plan would
succeed the mutuel machines at the
spring and summer race meetings in
kentucky. He also said that prospects
are most favorable for the greatest
season of racing in that state in the
history of it's turf. He was very much
affected by the death of Jockey Woods,
who was apprenticed to his son, and
said that he would have PREFER ID that
every horse in his barns had died than
that this boy should have met the fate
that befell him. He paid a nice tribute
to the character of the boy and the
family in Kentucky. Col. Chinn is one
of those fiery Kentuckians who love
war and love peace, and anybody who
does not like 1t is permitted to take his
choice of either and always will find
the colonel on duty at either game. He
is an excellent type of the Kentucky
colonel and very fine man. 1t has
been my pleasure to know him for
many years.

in q hospital at Winnipeg and may not
be able to come to the coast this sea-
son. Graham has wired back to see
how serious his condition is.
George Hildebrand has written the
Sacramento club he will be on deck
the latter part of this week. Sacra-
mento fans say he is there with the
goods and that the change from the
Bay city will do him world of good
McCredie says it will be war to the
death if Sacramento persists in declar-
ing ownership to Jimmy Shinn. Shinn
belongs to Portland, says McCredie

last season, and showed up in good
shape.
Catcher Frank Suess, formerly OF
the San Pedro Merchants, will be seen

Combine to Make Up
Schedule

Polytechnic high school athletes will
have busy Saturday. The basketball
five which won the county interschol-
astic championship will visit Glendale
high school to meet the championship
team of the suburban district. Poly
had it's full squad out yesterday after
noon on the Washington street courts
and hard fought game is looked for,
as both teams are said to be evenly
matched.
The first track squad will go over TO
Pasadena Saturday afternoon to meet
the Throop institute track team at
Tournament park.
The second track aggregation is
scheduled to hold a track and field
meet with the second Compton high
school team on the st. Vincent grid
iron.
The first baseball team will try con-
illusions in the afternoon with the
Whittier high school nine on the Qua
ker diamond. This should be a fast
and snappy game, as both institutions
are well up in the percentage column
of the county interscholastic league.
Manager Leroy Strang of the girls

for next Friday afternoon with the
Hollywood high school club, to be
played on the Washington street
courts.
Bibo, one of the foremost athletes
at Polytechnic, has been selected by
Strang to act as official umpire. Biho

Clean Out Oil We'll

The oil we'll in mechanically lubri-
Gated car should be cleaned out about
every 1000 miles, or, say, once a month;
the filter should be attended to, and
all Joints and unions made tight. Then
refill with oil to the overflow mark
and set the engine running. If the
gauge fluctuates or fails to read cor
rectly-the previous pressure will be
a guide-it is probable that an air lock
has formed. and it will be necessary
to force oil into the main lead, so as to
pass the lock away. This can only be
done by an oil syringe and patience,
and will probably require more than
one operation to secure its success. For
this reason, engine manufacturers do
not advise cleaning out with kerosene
unless when actually necessary, or the
engine has been standing unused for
some months. 1t is quite sufficient,
they declare. to drain off the old oil.
pass some thinner oil through the
pump, and. after draining that off, fill
up with the usual lubricant.

North Pole Discovery
Leadvillc Chronicle

Leadvillc Chronicle
Another problem is off the mind
of the people. The north pole has
been discovered. The geographi-
cal mystery that has baffled adven-
turous spirits for a century or more
is mystery M longer. And it is
a matter of patriotic pride that the
conquest of the unknown was made
by an American, quiet unob-
trusiye scientist whose name has
probably never figured in news
paper headlines before. His ex-
pedition was fitted out and depart
ed without any blare of trumpets,
farewell speeches or ceremony of
any kind. Dr. Cook has been
making a study of conditions in
the far north for many years and
as surgeon Of one of the Peary
expeditions be had an opportunity
of ginning his knowledge at FIRST
hand.
While the news of the success
of his expedition has all the ear
marks of authenticity it will Ee
several days before the world will
learn the details. and in-the mean
time there will be ample opportun-
ity afforded for speculation as to
lust what was found in this DESC
late region of ice and snow.
The truth is that the discovery
of the north pole. that little point
on the earth where the only direc-
ton is south, is largelya sentimen-
tai problem. Ii the north pole
were rs readily accessible rs the
summit of Mount Massive it woulc
probably be valuable place fol
the making of scientific observa
tions. But as DR., Cook will pro
badly inform rs it is undesirabl,
from residential point of view
and to remain there is impossible

The Greatest OF PROFESSIONS
The Advance

The Advance
Millions of little human beings
are again faced toward the school
house, Ii is the greatest of all
American professions. in interest.
in importance and in possibilities.
The paragraphers of the daily
press poke fun at the boys who re.
luctantly turn their back upon the
freedom and sports of vacation and
drag their unwilling feet toward
the school room. But i. must be
admitted that when the state lays
its hand upon the children OF the
land and shuts them up to the rou-
tine of the class room five hours a
day. it is taking npon itself an al
most immeasurable responsibility.
A congress in session is matter
of mild Importance compared with
the school year.
The authorities, therefore, eau
not too often or too diligently con
slider the system of education which
it fastens upon the daily life OF
these millions of Young people
And one of the first questions re-
garding the system is its relation
to their health. A child has body
as well as n mind and it is moi
well to sacrifice health, sight and
all physical vigor at the door ol
the schools. What some children
need is more body even nt the ex
pense of less education. Wher
there are headaches, infiamed eyes

That which has caused men to
lose their fortunes and their lives
in the search for the pole has been
+, the lure of achievement. 1t is the
idea of accomplishing something
that has never been accomplished
before, something that will crown
a mans life with fame and place
lis name in the list of the imper-
ishables.
In this age of the world when /,
would seem IA if nothing counted
for much unless i. could be meas
ured in money. Achievement for
its own sake is looked uprn rs con
siderable of back number. 1t is
quite certain that so far as the
pole itself is concerned its dis-ov-
cry is valueless. What this intfe-
pid explorer saw WAS either an ex.
pause OF water or field of ice.
and there certainly is neither va!ne
nor mystery to that. But it was
i'll tn. achievement itself that the
glory lies, in being the first man to
place foot on the spot. to plant the
old dag there, 10 carry the trail
Just few miles further into the
hidden north.
And to those who value achieve
ment for what it will bring it may
be said that DR.. Cook does not
stand to lose anything. After
Henry NJ Stanley made his great
j,urney into Central Africa in
search of Livingstone the lines of
his lifa were cast in pleasant places
As writer and lecturer his ser
vices were in constant demand. He
died wealthy and honored.
DR.. Cook will have story TO
tell. And he will he paid well for
telling il. So the achievement will
not be without profit. The world
100 will rejoice that it was the mod
eat hero that won. In these latter
days there have been so many
would be and alleged explorers,
men who felt called on to do so
much talking and whose achieve
ments have been nil, that it is
doubly satisfactory to know ihat
the quiet and unobtrusive man has
won.
This is no reflection. particularly
on Peary, That explorer has ac-
complished great things. But he
must be content TO take serond
place rs the man WHO almost
reached the pole.
And at least one Walter Well
man is eliminated. He must rank
us the man who never started.
