RLALTO GOSSIP
By Jay Davidson

Angeles open at home and close at
Sacramento. This will make Hen Berry
sore, sure as you're alive. 1t looks like
somebody was afraid Of the Angels
making a Garrison finish, if need be,
and wants them to finish on foreign
grounds.
Bowlers are again informed that the
entry list for the preliminary tourna-
ment organized by Jim Morley to select
a five-man team to go to the Western
Bowling congress tournament at San
Francisco in March still is open and
that all who desire may enter before
January 20. All the crack bowlers
should stir up their civic pride a bit
and get into this tournament, as it is
desired that Los Angeles send the
strongest team it can organize.
Martin Beck and Maurice Meyerfeld
owners Of the Orpheum syndicate, ar
rived yesterday from the north and will
remain for few days. They are we'll
known as good sportsmen and met
many friends in their few hours stay.
Bad Bill Aldridge walked up the
Rialto yesterday and being unable to
find an open door to any of the thirst
parlors remarked, after wiping his eyes
as if dazed: rs it customary to have
two Sundays in succession in this
blamed country or have I been asleep
for a week and missed one?" Many
another was a bit surprised at the two
Sundays in succession along about the
thirst hour until they awoke to the fact
that it was election day. Good scheme
to remind some folk that it is time to
go to the polls.
Adolph Becker has returned to Frisco
after an extended visit here. Bill John
son and Frank Becker have changed
off in the management of the two
cafes operated in Los Angeles and now
both are back at their old places again.
Johnson has just returned from a visit
with Doc Arnold at the seaside.
Jockey Stanley Page, formerly a Los
Angeles newsboy and now one of the
best riders in the country, has bought
the remaining. portion of his contract
with Homer Selby and will return to
California to ride until the metropoli-
tan season opens. Stanley will visit
friends and relatives in Los Angeles
before going to Emeryville.
r. L. Thomas, who has not been
active in the management of his string
of horses at Jacksonville. proposes to
cut down his string to half a dozen and
send them to the metropolitan circuit
in charge of Henry Mcdaniel. his
trainer, while he goes back to Ken
lucky to recover his health. He never
has fully recovered from the effect of
the stabs inflicted by Jockey Schilling.
Dates for the four summer meetings
to be held in western Canada next
summer will not be asked for until the
bill before parliament is disposed of.
No adverse legislation is looked for,
however, and it is predicted by those
interested that the four meetings will
be held according to plans made last
fall.
George Rose intends leaving for Eu-
rope in April for an extended stay.
during which he will visit the many
racecourses in England, France and
Germany He will return late in the
summer, in time to prepare for the
winter meeting at Santa Anita park.

man in whom horsemen, racing OFF,
Gals and the public will have absolute
confidence
Just who this man will be is not
known to even the officials who must
appoint him, but two names have been
submitted-Jack Atkin of Los Angeles
and c. B. Blow of Salt Lake City.
Atkin is well known not only in Los
Angeles, but everywhere horses run in
England and America, having been
identified with the turf for more than
score of years. Glow is operating a
pool room at Salt Lake City, in part
nership with Colonel Apologize, and
owns a fair string of horses. Little Is
known of his experience on the turf
further than these connections. He
is a wealthy citizen of Salt Lake City,
however, and owns considerable realty
there. The only objection possible to
be made to his appointment would
come from the fact that he is an owner
and a pool room operator.
Hamilton May Be Judge
Although it is not known whether
Col. A. w Hamilton, former presiding
Judge at Los Angeles race meetings,
would accept the appointment as pre-
siding judge at Salt Lake City, the di-
rectors of the Utah Jockey club could
get no man who would more satisfac-
torily fill the bill He not only is re-
spected by horsemen and the public
for his long and honorable career in
the pagoda. but those horsemen who do
not want to run their horses on the
level absolutely fear him because of
his determined manner of dealing with
them. A suggestion from Salt Lake
City has been made that Martin Ma
thanson, racing secretary and handi-
capper at Emeryville, may be appoint
ed to the same position at Salt Lake
City. This also would be a ten strike
for the Utah Jockey club. Williamson
is known all over America for his long
years of experience in this position,
and probably is the best posted man
upon turf affairs west of New York.
This would be a pair of officials that
would guarantee clean and high class
racing in the Rocky mountain territory
next summer. However, no suggestion
has been heard regarding the successor
to Pomeroy in the judges stand. Local
men should draw the associate and
minor positions. Too many outsiders
were employed for the good of the
sport last year.
The Rocky mountain states are about
all the desirable racing territory that
has escaped legislative restriction in
recent months, and Salt Lake City
and Butte are great racing centers,
with a population that lends surpris-
ing support at the gates. 1t is de-
sirable territory for the jurisdiction of
the Pacific Jockey club, and Mr.. VIII
Iiams is to be commended for his de-
cided stand in favor of clean racing
and his action in the premises is an
exhibition of excellent judgment and
foresight. Now that he has taken the
situation into a firm hand, the patrons
of the sport in that territory may ex-
pect with confidence that the travesties
of last season will be succeeded by a
materially improved class of racing,
conducted along lines that will more
nearly fulfill the expectations of its
DatrOns

nLEASED expressions from those
interested in all things athletic
l. were heard yesterday along the
Rialto in testimony as to the popular
ity of the enterpTising move made by
Charlie Eyton in signing up Henri st.
Yves, the greatest marathon runner in
the world, and his most formidable
rival, John d. Marsh, the Canadian
champion, for a match race at the full
marathon distance, to be run in this
city within the next three weeks. The
popularity of marathon races already
has been proved here, when great
crowds have attended the amateur
events, and there seems no reasonable
doubt that the contest between the
world champion and the Canadian
champion will attract an immense at
tendance. The event probably will
have increased interest by reason of
the entry of two or more famous run
ners, Tom Connolly, the local runner,
probably being one of those ThO will
try his luck with the champions. In

This general Shakeup comes with III
tie surprise to horsemen and others
who know of conditions that prevailed
at the Salt Lake City meeting last fall,
although it was not anticipated that
Pomeroy would be affected. Pomeroy
was placed in an unfortunate position
and did not have the free hand and au-
thority for action in dealing with the
various cases that came UP during the
two meetings last year, but nobody ever
has questioned his integrity and hon
esty of motive at any time. Skinner
was appointed only for the one sea-
son and his failure of reappointment
does not imply anything of a deroga-
tory nature.
Williams Goes to Bat
It is quite probable that the action
of Mr.. Williams in going to bat for a
reorganization of racing interests in
the Rocky Mountain region means that
the president of the governing turf
body proposes to take an active part
in forcing the elevation of the sport
there to a plane that will minimize as
far as possible all chance of legisla-
tive interference next winter. Had no
action been taken by him or the di-
rectors of the Utah Jockey club in this
regard there would have been grave
cause for alarm at the prospect for fu-
ture racing. The public mind, espe-
cially in Salt Lake City, had been in
huenced against the sport in a most
threatening degree because of happen
ings at the Buena Vista park meeting
and there would have been little chance
for successful opposition to any ad-
verse bills that might be introduced in
the next legislature.
1t is not improbable that Mr. Will
liams will adopt the heroic measure OF
insisting updh the appointment of a
presiding judge and racing secretary
to serve at the Salt Lake City, Butte,
Anaconda and Helena meetings this
year and that a conflicting sched-
uIe of dates for these meetings be
agreed upon as in the past, In this
way he would name the presiding
judge and racing secretary and secure
men of ample experience and other
qualifications to deal with the situation
in a strong and effective manner and
with the sole view of elevating the
sport and making it as nearly satisfac-
tory to the patrons and public of that
territory as 10 possible to be done.
There has been no complaint made re-
gardng the conduct of the ogden meet
ings, so far as is known.

racing. COndron and his associates
will heed the suggestions Of the presi-
dent regarding changes and reforms
calculated to elevate the sport and
make ii popular with the people who
are expected to support it. There was
no hesitancy in accepting the resigna-

Langford occupies the unique posi-
ton of being a popular colored fighter
The prejudice that usually attaches TO
negro fighters does not apply to Lang
ford in the same degree that it at
taches to johnson and other black
gIadiators. Sam always attends to MS
own business and does not go about
the country Dragging about his PROV
ess and issuing challenges to every
fighter in his class. On the contrary,
Sam begs to be allowed to get an oc-
casional match in order to keep in prac-
tice and he has so thoroughly estab-
lished himself as a topnotcher ana a
great drawing card that he is in great
demand and would be fighting more
frequently if he could get opponents.
There is one subject upon when
I4angford is bit touchy. That is Jack
Johnson. Sam thinks he can trim the
negro heavyweight and recently raised
$4,000 and posted it with reputable
stakeholder as a compliance with the
demand of Johnson that ne show some
real money before talking fight with
him, since his elevation from the pork
and-beans class. Woodman said last
night that the $4,000 was posted Tor
a long time without attracting the at
tention of Johnson and that 1t Wopiu
he nosted any old time that johnson
he would be forced to fight Langford'
He also remarked that $4,000 more
could be raised in England to back
Iangford against Johnson and that the
English promoters would offer $780,
900 purse for the fight
Thinks Jeff Will Win
Woodman says that he believes JEFF
fries will whip Johnson and addS CON
W11n
other man in the world but jeff. He
saws that the big boy will not have TO
be half as good as he was when ne
retired to whip Johnson and does not
anticipate that jeff will experience
much difficulty in maintaining his title
as the indicated champion of cham
pions. Nm,
He also says that Salt Lake City will
get the big fight beyond all question.
According to his story, the powers be-
hind the throne in Utah, meaning the
Mormon element in business and other
lines. want the big fight in that city,
or whereabouts, and has raised the $lOl,-
900 in real money to indemnify Tex
Rickard against loss. He is of the
opinion that the only interference thar
NAV be expected will be the arrest OF
the promoter and fighters after the
battle has been fought and the only
be nominal fine.
In a way, his reasoning is logical.
The Mormon element in Utah is in alb
solute control of all the offices, except
inV the city of Salt Lake. Governor
Spry and his entire official staff, in
Guiding the attorney general, sheriffs
and the courts, are members of the
Mormon church and in thorough ac-
cord The business element of the city
is largely Mormon. With this great in
fluence favoring the fight, it is not diff
ficult to figure how Governor Spry
will be unable to decide in advance
whether the exhibition is to be
prize fight, a boxing match or foot
race.
Woodman Is Consistent
Woodman is consistent in his reason
ing. He says that Langford can whip
Johnson and is willing to bet any
amount on the side on the result. He
also says that Jeffries can whip Lang
ford. This should mean that Jeffries
