has his work already cut out for him.
With his splendid new intield on the
job he should make things decidedly
interesting for the visitors, at any rate.
Although there had been little ad-
vertising done, owing to the late date
at which it became known that the
White Sox would get here in time to
play yesterday afternoon, the bleachers
were filled and the grandstand held a
large crowd. The attendance is est-
mated at more than 3000 With en-
thusiasm bubbling over. it looks good
for attendance records during the play
ing season.
Delmas is going at mid-season clip
both in fielding and batting and it
looks like this might be the best year

There is absolutely ne foundation for
the rumor that has been going the
rounds that the Los Angeles Racing
association intends cutting away from
the Pacific Jockey club and running
independently next winter. 1t is un-
derstood between all interested par

longer next winter, and as the rela-
tions between the local racing associa-
ton and the governing turf body are or

pered by any misunderstanding or
disagreement of any sort, there is no
necessity for breaking off relations.
Although the fighters, with one or
two exceptions, who will be featured
on the newsboys' card that Will be
staged at Maud Junction next Friday
night are unknown to the fans. there
should be no doubt as TO the fun ana
excitement the show will furnish. These
boys box and wrestle daily at their
gymnasium and this show is being
given to raise money for further out
fitting it, These paper peddlers are en-
titled to expect a full house and as
tho cause is most worthy one the
fans will be doing a good turn and at
the same time getting value received
for their money. A battle royal between
negro fighters will be a feature of the
show and this alone, even wlthout the
five boxing bouts, will be worth all
that is paid for admission. This affair
comes in handily, because 1t fills
long dry spell between the last and
the next fight.
