ALL STARS AND
OXY TO MINGLE
FAST GROUNDS SHOULD INSURE
GOOD CONTEST
White Boys Present Strengthened
Lineup to Oppose Crack Dark
Complexioned Pill
Tossers

Sunshine and wind did wonders to
the wet condition of the baseball
grounds at Chutes park yesterday and
the diamond will be in fast and firm
shape for today's battle between the
Occidental colored champions and the
All Stars, composed of some of the
fastest big leaguers wintering in
Southern California.
Since the last meeting of the two
clubs, in which the Oxys gained a de-
cision by the close margin of to 1,
the Stars have strengthened their
lineup and will present a formidable
array of jugglers of the little round
pill on the diamond today.
Reiger, the local boy who has devel-
oped so fast in the last two years,
will work part of the game on the
mound with Pitcher Gates of the
Washington club. Reiger started in
professional company two years ago
with the Shreveport team in the Texas
league, and last season he made such
a brilliant showing with that nine that
the st. Louis club purchased his re-
lease for $4,000. This winter he has
been pitching for the Salt Lake nine
in the Winter league, and to his good
heaving is due great deal of the
credit of the present high standing of
the club
George Stovall, field captain and
first baseman of the Cleveland Amer
leans, is another celebrity on the line
up. Roy Brashear, recently signed by
the Vernon club. will hold down the
territory adjoining the second cushion,
and Martinke, another Vernon man,
will play in the left garden.
Manager Blacks lineup remains the
same, which is a known quantity, and
it is a certainty that the Star aggre-
CATION will have to travel a fast pace
in order to come out on the long end
of the score.

TOE WILLIS put up a finish to the
old year that was decidedly dis
~ appointing not only to himself,
but to his numerous friends who were
backing him with real money and best
wishes He not only was disappointed
in the result of his fight with Flynn,
but he was humiliated by the knock
out, lost over $500 in money bet on
himself and received less than $400 as
compensation for his misfortunes that
came all in a bunch. Flynn played Old
Man Fox and forced Willis to guaran-
tee him $1,000, regardless of the result.
The receipts We're $2720, of which sum
the club retained S1360. Flynn got
$1,000 and Willis took down $3.50. Willis
still believes that he can whip Flynn
and wants another chance to make
good against the fighting fireman.
Willis is a clean fighter and an effec-
tive one, but he seems to be easily
ratified under fire. He has a life-de-
stroying punch, but made the mistake
last Friday night Of playing almost
exclusively for Flynn's wind. A few
of those killing wallops to the jaw
might have been worth close to S2500
in cash and considerable prestige for
him.
Uncle Tom Carey did not attend the

w HEN the football season of 1909
w went into history with the open
ing Of the new year it closed
the gridiron careers of RAIDER and
Rheinschild at st. Vincent. These two
heroes of many battle on the white
barred field during the past triumphant
season of the Catholic eleven are with
out doubt the two greatest exponents
of the American college game that
have ever represented that institution
in moleskins.
The two play their positions, RAIDER
at full and Rhenschild at right tackle,
in perfect unison. When ever the full
was called upon to plunge through
Rheiny's side of the line that splendid
tackle would not stop at making hole
for his back, but would assist with
pulling and pushing to help advance
the man with the pigslin. In the game
with the University of Southern Cali
fornia's barristers the right tackle
helped RAIDER over half the field to the
most sensational touchdown of the year.
Right Halfback Casey has been chosen
the captain for next seasons eleven,
and his heady work behind the line dur
Ing the year that has just closed makes
his a good choice for that honor. In
Neighbors the Catholics have a great
punter next year. Under the instruc
ton of Coach Rheinschild, Neighbors
developed into the greatest football
surprise on the eleven. His good punt
ing and hard playing at right end won
him a place on the All-Southern Cali
fornia football team in his first year on
the schools eleven.
The coach expects to work under a
greater disadvantage the coming year
in developing a winning team. But as
the followers of the game prophecied
that the Saints would be too light for
a strong team at the opening of last
season it is safe to figure that Rhens-
child will whip together a combination
next fall that will be hard to beat.

RIAL TO GOSSIP
By Jay Davidson

Nevin never fail to pass the winter
at Pasadena.
Friends of Capt. John Hackett,
wealthy horseman, will be pleased to
learn that he has experienced a COM
plete restoration of his health. He is
in the racing game for the pleasure he
gets out of it, but is not a plunger, de-
spite the fact that he has plenty of
money and a stable of good horses. He
owns Yuba, one of the smartest 2-year-
olds in the west last season.
Reports from EmeryVille continue to
glow with stories of increasing at
tendance that suggest strongly that
the oral betting system is proving fully
up to all expectations. Twelve to fif-
teen layers are on duty every day, and
the volume of money handled is grow
ing daily. Racing is a grand sport, but
has been marred and placed in disre-
pute in late years because the book
makers have got control of it and have
subordinated the sport to the gambling
feature. Oral betting will do away with
this offensive condition in a large
measure, and as betting will be more
of an incident than a feature of the
sport in future, there is excellent
ground for believing that the sport of
kings will survive for many years to
come.
Although Jeffries win wind up his
theatrical tour in about three weeks
and come home to start upon his long
period of training, Jack Johnson is fritz
tering away time by signing up for a
15Week tour of the country that will
begin tomorrow and extend until late
in April. Although he will have two
months in which to train for the fight
of his life he will require all that time.
owing to his lazy disposition and the
fact that he will be in no condition at
all for beginning training. Wish he had
signed up for twenty-five weeks in
stead.
Willie Knapp, once regarded as the
greatest jockey on earth, was given his
