A Word From Curtis Beech.
Dear Friends and Editors: Sunday is
the day for perusing The Democrat,
(for it usually comes at that time), and
today l note with much interest your
editorial Let us be fair" I am much
endeared to my native state and have
noticed and talked considerably what
the university has to offer in its many
branches. I think you have taken the
proper course in publishing bulletins
and literature, and are magnanimous
and unselfsh. The rank Wisconsin has
taken in dairying, stock raising, to-
bacco and corn is largely due to the
university and Institutes, and for one, I
am proud, I commend the action of
your city council in raising salaries,
and believe the city will benefit largely
from the paltry small expenditure.
Yours truly,

ABE HOOKS MOORE FOR
BATTLE At PARAMOUNT
Champion Will Let Quaker City
Kid Come Into Ring at Near
Lightweight POundage

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-Abe Attell,
the featherweight champion, is chuck
ling to himself because he has finally
secured a match with Pal Moore, the
18-year-old Philadelphia boxer, who is
regarded by some critics as the COM
ing lightweight champion of the
world Attell saw Moore box several
times last spring at local clubs and as
the latter was then able to make 1872
pounds ringside. the featherweight
limit, Attell declared that the Qua
ker was his most dangerous challen-
ger for the title in that class. In fact,
Attell was ready to accept a challenge
from Moore at any time.
But in the last six months Moore has
grown like a weed and is no longer
able to make the featherweight limit.
He cannot fight an ounce under 125
pounds and be strong, and within an
other six months will be strictly
lightweight. For this reason Attell
has jumped at q chance to meet Moore
before he takes on any more weights
The bout is sure to interest the men,
bers of the Fairmount Athletic club.
who will see these crack pugilists
cross arms on November %. Attell has
agreed to let Moore weigh 128 pounds
ringside, and will probably be around
124 to 125 himself, so that there will
not be any great difference in bulk
when they begin to box.
Moore has had two battles with
Owen Moran, one Of six and the other
of twelve rounds, with the result in
doubt in each instance. Moran is
rugged, hard hitting, clever light
weight, who has twice fought Attell
to draw, once in twenty-three and
again in twenty-five rounds, so that
the formers showing with Moore un-
doubtedly has hurried Attell into the
coming match Attell has a poor opin-
ion of all lightweights and says they
are afraid of him.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 9.-Stanford
and California will strive for mastery
on the football field next Saturday LOT
the twentieth time since the oval pail
was introduced into the Call1ornla
universities. During this period the
Cardinal has been returned victorious
on ten occasions, the Blue and Gold
has won the laurels five times, and
four of the struggles have been called
after an even battle.
Since the introduction of Rugby four
wears ago the Stanford klckers nave
three victories to their credit, but the
California players are the present
holders of the football championship
belt by virtue of her victory twelve
months ago at Stanford field. Each
wear a larger crowd is attracted to the
intercollegiate struggle and despite the
additional holding capacity of 5O0O TINS
year there is every indication that sew
eral thousand people will be turned
away.
The rival coaches have almost COM

article of Rugby ever witnessed on tne
coast Schaeffer has not been con-
fronted with the herculean effort of de-
veloping an entirely new team, as ne
had more than fifteen veterans to work
upon, and it is quite on the cards that
fourteen of the veteran material will
be found in the lineup.
Coach Presley, on the other hand,
looked into a sea of fresh faces when
the football season opened having
lost nine of last years veterans, and
he deserves high commentator for the
shapely craft he has nodded out of raw
material The material was good, how
ever, and the team that wears the car
dinal next Saturday will not disgrace
the proud record set by its predeces-
sors, whether victory or defeat is its
portion of the battle.
CALIFORNIA'S BEST TEAM
The California varsity team is easily
the best Rugby machine that ever rep
resented the Blue and Gold. The in
dividual has been taught every minute
detail of the game and the referees or
today have to be keyed up to the rules
to keep up with the knowledge of the
players. There is nothing definite IN

An automobilist who has had much

He has a 20-28 horsepower vehicle
Weighing in touring condition and with

top of the admission tube which comes
from the carbureter he has made an
opening one centimeter wide and three
centimeters in circumference, which
opening he can open and close from
his seat When he sees that he is go

dips down on the other side, he closes
his gasoline pipe-from the seat-about
so meters before reaching the top and
relies on the fuel in the carbureter to
take him up.
Now, to descend, he drops to low gear

SPORTING GOSSIP

Contrary to the gloomy forebodngs with
which the fans have been worrying them

there seems to be a little sunshine in the

ceivable combination, especially in the
back field, and the California coach
keeps his own counsel.
Coach Presley has infused some
freshman material into the varsity
squad, especially in the back field. and
none of the babies are below the usual
standard set by veteran varsity play
ers. Some of the veterans are in grave
danger of losing cut in the rush for
varsity honors this year. though the
fight is still on and not a single player
has been assured of his position. Floyd
Brown, the peer CT all the fullbacks
on the coast, by virtue of his excel
lence in defense and attack, is in grand
condition physically and will be one of
the bright lights of the struggle next
Saturday.
NO RIVAL FOR GEISSLER
Freshman Gelssler of Los Angeles
has come on with rapid strides, and
since Sundell was transferred to wing
forward has had no rival for the other
wing position. The greatest fight is
being waged for the honor of holding
down the center three-quarter back po-
sition, and at least two clever players
will be compelled to watch the game
from the side lines who are trying out
for this berth Thoburn, Sanborn and
Reeves are all in the running for the
laurels, and it now looks as If the Los
Angeles freshman will secure the nee
essary shade over his rivals. Thoburn
is one of the best opportunists on the
side, and is good III defense, but is not
as clever a fielder as Reeves. Sanborn
did not show up well in the earlier
games, but has come on with a rush.
Stan Mitchell has been bothered with
minor injuries of late, and Presley has
decided to take no chances of a repe-
tition of last years breakdown, and
has accordingly kept him out of the
strenuous games, but he will be in the
best of fettle for the big fray. Harri-
gan, the Los Angeles freshman, is play
ing a whirlwind of a game at inside
five, which position he has apparently
cinched.
Benny Erb is a clever halfback. but
he does not have much more than q
shade over Louis Cass, his rival for
the honor, and the latter is much more
expert in passing accurately to the in
side five. 1t is quite on the cards that
both men will get into the game, ac-
cording to how fortune fares with the
side.

SPEEDY RIDERS MATCHED
FOR MOTORCYCLE RACES

Manager Pye Of the Coliseum mo-
torcycle track succeeded in signing
Jake De Roster, Charles Fearless"
Bake and Raymond Seymour to ride
in the motorcycle races next Sunday
afternoon.
For the main feature of Sundays
race meet De Roster will be matched
against T. M. Samuelson, who was the
sensation of last Sundays race meet
ing. He won the professional free-for-
all race by tapping the field and at
the same time riding the fastest lap
that was ever ridden on the Coliseum
track in II AS seconds.
Samuelson has improved considera-
BILE in his riding from last year. With
two such riders as De Roster and
Samuelson in the match race the fans
will be guaranteed some thrills.
Raymond Seymour, the one-mile
National trade rider and Charles

trade rider ever seen on motorcycle
track, will also meet in a match heat
race.
Graves and Ward will also be seen
as usual in the trade rider events and

GOLF OFFERS AN EQUAL
CHANCE FOR BOTH SEXES
Match Between Miss LeitCh and
Hilton Proves Expert Theory

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-Golf enthusi-
asts who have argued that the differ
ence between a man and woman
champion in match play was a stroke
on every other hole had the point
proved pretty well in the recent match
between Miss Cecil Leitch and fIarald
Hilton, two of the leading British
golfers of their sexes. Although Meth
er of the contestants played in the best
form the match was very close, and
the woman won only after q great up
hill struggle by and l.
Where the chief error Of the critics
lay in their forecast of the play was
that they practically all thought the
woman would fail under the strain of
the long 72-hole contest She showed
remarkable grit, however, and when
she looked like a sure loser, being 4
down at the start Of the last Is holes,
she surprised the gallery by the re-
markable uphill work that eventually
eVened matters and then Won for her.
Miss Leitch was not outdriven to
any great extent by her opponent, and
many Of her brassie shots were Is good
as MIR. Hiltons. Her worst fault was
her poor conception of how to get out
of hazard. It was said by experts
who watched the play that had the
match been on less difficult courses
than Walton heath and Sunningdale
Miss Leitch would have won easily.
Golfing, a magazine devoted to the
"ancient and royal' game, says that
Miss Grant-Suttie, Miss Dorothy
Campbell and Mrs. Ross Miss May
Hezlet) are finer golfers than Miss
Leitch, and that further matches will
be necessary TO decide the relative
strength of high-class men and women
players.

NOTED CHARACTER
QUITS TURF CAME

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9.--The rae
ing firm of Burns & WaterhOuse has
dissolved partnership. Hereafter Wa
terhouse will race the string of horses
formerly owned by the firm. The sew
enteen head of horses were yesterday
purchased by Waterhouse. The stable
will sport the same colors as in the
past, with the exception that black
cap instead of green will be worn by
the jockeys astride the horses.
For twenty years Col. Dan Burns
and Clarence Waterhouse have been
prominent figures in western turf af
fairs. They have saddled many high
class horses and quite number of
stake events were captured by their
thoroughbreds.
The dissolution of partnership is not
due to any i'll feeling-simply a busi-
ness proposition. Burns still is inter
ested in the stock farm and the mines
owned jointly by the two turfmen.
The colonel does not desire to devote
his time to looking after big stable
of horses. He also is of the opinion
that Warehouses; days of usefulness
as a hOrseman are over He was heard
to ioshingly remark the other day,
"Why, Clarence is getting too slow to
bother with a big stable. If he wants
to stick in the game I'll sell him my
interest" This sums up the whole
thing.
In the retirement of Burns the rae
ing world will lose one of its most fa-
nous characters. 1t was to his intiu-
entail aid to Thomas II. Williams that
California has occupied such a prom
inent place in turfdom. The Burns
handicap was named in his honor AL
though Burns will not campaign any
horses this winter he will continue to
take just as much interest In the sport
of kings as in the past.
