Rialto bunch yesterday, and the general
opinion found was that Wolgast was
lucky to get a draw. Barring the nlnth
round he was hopelessly beaten, and in
asmuch as he failed to win decisive
victory with his two punches IN tna'

hackers beyond the fact that no oftlcla

be forgotten that Memsic, in his prime
always could whip Wolgast, and he
showed Friday night that he is close

a decisive victory because Of ms own
carelessness in the last half OF the

Measure the announcement that hay
is going down in price. 1t has been
the rule for d long time to raise the
price en- hay every time a horseman
shows up. At Salt Lake City it jumped
from S17 to $50 ton over night when
the horsemen's special arrived with
racers. 1t was the same all up and

might be said that the price of hay
and oats is regulated there by the ar
rival and departure of horsemen.
Jack Berdie, former city marshal at
Arcadia and boss policeman at the
Arcadia race track, is around town
again in subdued form. He has been
in the hospital for several weeks and
weighs about half as much as formerly,
and instead of presenting the appear

Eddie Eddie Keevin is coming west
with Sam Langford and Jimmy Walsh
in a few days, and it is said that he
will take Frank Picato under his man.
agement. Picato and Roy Page, his
former manager, agreed to dissolve
partnership yesterday and parted in
good friendship. Keevin probably will
take Frank back east for the siX-round
no-decision circuit.
Gus Bauer has returned from the east
after several months absence. He has
been looking after property interests
in Chicago and New York, but will

After several conferences between
Hen Berry and Frank Chance regard

been called off and the crack Angel
backstop must report to the Cubs for
duty in the spring. This will be a dis

Cubs draft claim. Berry says he has
half a dozen good catchers in sight
and the fans need not fear that ths

that the Angeles will cop the bunting
in the fall.
Hen Berry is going north after avia-
tion week to attend trial upon the
charge of refusing to pay a taxicab
fare. Hen has Earl Rogers engaged as
his attorney and they will fight the
case to the court of The Hague before
submitting. A taxicab driver saw Hen

warrant for Hen and tried to bam-
boozle him out of $12 fare for rides Hen
never enjoyed. Hen surprised the taxi

indefinitely, but as Hen has 500 bail or
