RIAL TO GOSSIP
BY Jay Davidson

! bv Mai. cyrus S. Radford and DR.. Nj.
| w. Williams of the United states ma
/ rine service.
II. G. Bedwen offered $500 and Tony
Faust to the owner of Frank Ruhstal-
/ ler, the crack 2-year-old son of Bear
catcher that has been winning all sea-
son at Oakland. O. A. Biarchi, who
! owns the colt, refused the offer, and
thinks he has another Bearcatcher IN
the classy youngster.
w. II. Fizer one of the chief pro-
moters of the Tampa Bay race track,
has sold all his stock in the association
and resigned as racing secretary. He
has Boca Grande and another crack s.
year-old that he expects to prove real
bears when the metropolitan season
opens.
Ethon. once one of the crack handi-
cap horses of the country, but most
inconsistent performer in recent
months. is under suspicion at Jack
sonville and his career on the turf
may be terminated by the judiciary
of the Southern Jockey club. People
get tired of the in and out running of
horses that have enough class TO be
expected to perform occasionally with
some regard for form. Ethon never
tOulQ run hlilulH dI " bub ~ NSulNa
develop speed that would make Rose
ben sick when the price happened to
be 8 or to l.
Jimmy Mccormick, the Irish rebel
who is backing the famous Mccormick
team in the Winter baseball league,
has decided to call his team the Sham
rocks. With such big advantage over
every other team, Jimmy should make
his champions show consistent form in
the future by winning nine in ten of
the games they play. It's in them, all
right.
Another day gone and Hen Berry not
back. Probably he has found another
gusher and is waiting to figure out how
many more millions he is worth before
he comes home. BY the way, Hen is
apt to get chesty when he begins to
feel the effects of being a millionaire,
and he might be persuaded to organize
a rival to the major leagues out this
way, just to hold onto his crack players
whom the big leaguers want.
Jimmy Royal and Jimmy Austin have
deposited their side bets of 800 each
in the hands of a reputable stakeholder
and are waiting for an invitation from
Uncle Tom to get busy and fight If
out Better put them on, dear uncle,
and get rid of all this talk they are
inficting on the press and public.
The showing made by Mexican Pete
Everett last night in his alleged fight
with Jim Cameron was so rotten that
he should not be put on again. Any
fighter, or alleged fighter, who is so
rotten that Cameron can even hold him
even in every one of ten rounds is not
good enough attraction for Los An
geles fans. Cameron outfought him, if
their antics could be termed fighting,
but he, too, was so much of a joke that
he is not entitled to decision for his
efforts. Both should be elected honor
ary members of the Scrap Heap asso
citation without delay, and before either
gets another chance to be matched by
any other club.
Rawhide Kelly who brought ICY
clone" Thompson of California the
first time, arrived yesterday from Coal
inga for a few days stay in his old
home city. Rawhide is ono of the
cleverest fight managers and trainers
in the business, and it need not be sur
prising if he picks up another promis-
ing scrapper before he leaves.
Bob Lacy sat at ringside throughout
the four scraps last night and per-
- 30 i iIteIt NoIIsI9teiltly III edch' lie never
picked a winner of anything, not even
a bowling match, in all his life, but
tried to break his record last night
and picked four losers in as many
fights.
Jim Flynn will start training Friday
morning at Doyle's club on the south
side. Frank Picato began training there
Yesterday for his scrap January 2S
with Memsic and tho la++a, ,,.ilI -
work today at Eastside. Langford
probably will get to training Monday,
and it is understood that he will % fo
Arcadia to do his work.
