MOLFSFY TAKES
OVERLAND RACE
COMES BACK AND REPEATS
PREVIOUS EFFORT
SELLING PLATERs OBSERVE
FORM IN ALL EVENTS
Santa Anita Card, Devoid of Extra
ordinary Feature, Results in Good
Sport and Ponies Perform in
Consistent Manner
RY JAY DAVIDSON

Selling platers held the boards yes
terday at Santa AnIIa, but this does
not mean that the sport was of low
degree or that form was wholly thrown
at the winds. The platers ran with
good regard for form and got down in
front, according to expectation IN most
instances. There was no feature event,
all the races standing on par, and
good sport and fair time was the net
result.
Moesey ran right back to his pre-
vious performance and copped the long
distance race with greatest ease from
King of the Mist and Oberon, and, not
Withstanding his previous performance,
he was held at long odds and the
talent cleaned up when he won. 1t was
no horse race after the start, as NC
Gee carefully rated Molesey, and Wnen
the field turned for home the son Oh
Kingston breezed by his field and won
in a romp.
Aunt Polly, 13 years old, was so
much the best of her field in the open
ing race that she had no great dlin-
Guilty in sticking for a greater distance
than she really likes to travel, winning
at six and half furlongs in 1:2l, beat
ing Agnes Virginia, another aged mare,
by a nose. Strange to say, both these
mares have sons and daughters racing
now who have failed to have as much
success as their old mothers had Ill
this race. Humero, a write-your-own
ticket chance, was third, Wnlle olr
Agnes. the false favorite, was fourth.
Mike Molett gave Medallion, the
favorite. a hard drubbing in the Ju-
venile race, winning all the way In fast
time, Medallion was second from the
moment the barrier arose, but never
was fast enough to get up. The Wolf,
which was generally played to show,
cot that position and probably more
money went into the public pocket on
this score than for any other finish in
the race. -.
Whip Top, a high-class horse tnat
figured like a 1 to 40 shot, won the
fourth race at a mile in jog time,
merely taking ber time all the way
and breezing on her class alone. LII
berto made a good stretch run and
secured the place, while The Thorn,
heavily played to show, landed in that
position.
Guy Fisher and Donald Macdonald
had their Derby race all over again,
although over a shorter distance, and
Guy Fisher, the favorite, won easily.
He stepped the distance in 1924 2-5, re-
markably fast time, but really was
not extended to turn the trick. Don
aid Macdonald easily was second best
and landed in that position.

MESS BOY BELIEVED TO

SAN FRANCISCO. March 11.-Jo-
ham BONNER, the messboy who was
arrested at the ST. Francis hotel last

valuable purse belonging to guest.

WILL DISMISS
TOBACCO USERS
HIGH SCHOOL THREATENS
DRASTIC ACTION
Captains Are Notified That Boys Un.
der Their Care Must Lead Ex-
emplary Lives or
Quit

A surprise was sprung on the Los
Angeles high school athletes yesterday
afternoon, when an official communi-
cation was handed to all captains of
athletics, notifying them that If any
student under their jurisdiction was
caught in the act of smoking or chew
ing, or using profanity, either in or on
their way from school to their homes,
the students would be summariiy ex-
PEELED from the school.
This is the first time in the history
of Southern California athletics that
such drastic actions have been threat
ened by any faculty. 1t is stated on
good authority that the reason for this
ruling is that the students, mostly
from the grammar grades, entering
school this last semester have ac-
quirod these bad habits, and in order
to do away with 1t effectually the au-
thorities have clapped the lid on hard.
The faculty of Occidental college
has been finding the same fault among
some of the younger students, who
mix with the high school lads on the
athletic field. 1t Is understood that
all the schools In Southern California.
including st. Vincent's, u. S. c. and
the Polytechnic high school, will stand
together In this important step and
attempt to foster clean athletics from
the very foundation by hitting hard
at these undermining qualities.

Best of Feeling Prevails

Not since the present organization of
miners became active in the anthracite
regions of Pennsylvania had the work.
men and employers entered upon nego-
tiations with better feeling and with
better prospects of reaching a settle
ment without resorting to radical
action.
The demands of the anthracite
plete recognition of the union mine
workers of America as party Of ne
gotiations in wage contracts; an s.
hour day with no reduction in wages:
that all employees paid $1.50 or less per
day shall receive a 10 per cent ad-
vance and all employees paid more than
$3.50 and less than 81 per day shall
receive per cent advance; that the
contract shall be made for period of
one year.
When the demands became known to
the operators several months ago they
made public a statement that the de-
mands would not be granted and
strongly intimated that they would ask
that the present three years agree
ment be renewed.
The present agreement is the same
as the working arrangement made by
the anthracite coal strike commission
in 1908.
The Reading company had arranged
a luncheon for the mine workers, who
numbered about thirty-five, but most
of them refused to accept the hospi-
tality. One of them said:
II don't want their grub; I can buy
my own"

uation-Best of Feeling

PHILADELPHIA, March 11.-The
anthracite coal operators refused all
the demands of the United Mine Work
that the present agreement be con-
tinued for another three years. The
conference adjourned until tomorrow
afternoon.
The mine workers officials expected
the decision. Thomas Lewis, president
of the United Mine Workers of Amer
jca, declined, however, to comment on
the outcome beyond stating that ne
and the committeeman would discuss
it before taking action.
The miners and operators will meet
again tomorrow.
A statement for the public, agreed
on by both sides, says: 1.-THE operators
declined to accede to the demands.
The chief reason offered for the rejec-
ton was that AN increase in the cost
of production would necessitate an al
vance in the price of coal and that
such an advance was impracticable.
The operators said that wages in the
anthracite mining industry were al
ready at a high level and could not be
increased"
The conference adjourned at noon
after the miners had submitted their
demands and after g. subcommittee
consisting Of seven members from each
side were appointed to take up the
negotiations. President Lewis of the
miners and President Baer of the oper-
ators head the respective sub-commit-
tees. The committees met in joint ses-
sion later in the day.
