.KETCH SAYS FARM LIFE
WILL PUT HIM IN SHAPE
Assassin Firm in Intention to De-
sert Great White Way
and Train

NEW YORK, Sept. 12. = Stanley
Ketchel has retired, according to re-
ports from Grand Rapids, retired to
the simple life. He has apparently
come to the conclusion that he is a
human pugilist and not a freak ex-
empt from physical laws. Therefore
he announces that he is in poor con-
dition, needs rest, will forsake the
white. lights and joy ride sand later
will come back to beat the world.
The middleweight champion has not
been making his best showing since
he met Johnson. Reports from sec
tions of the country where Ketchel
CHANGED to roam conveyed varied tales
concerning his activities. Stanley, ac-
cording to these reports, was not
troubled with health fads. He failed
to Fletcherize and scorned the gentle
buttermilk route. In other words,
ordinary precautions which keep hui
man being In good physical condition.
The elimination must have come
when he found himself scheduled to
meet Bill Lang in this city and was
pretty will studded with boils. Ketch-
ell is young, "a years old--in fact. He
has a remarkable ring record, good
physique and a punch which has
brought him the sobriquet of "The
Assassin" He should be able to
come back IL he actually realizes that
his strength must be fostered if he
would continue his pugilistic career
with credit. On his farm near Grand
Rapids, Mich, Ketchel has retired for
eight or ten weeks, according to his
own statements. He is quoted with
further remarks to the effect that he
knows he is in bad shape, but that he
believes that he can some back in ten
weeks.
'Tf find that can't come back in
that time. 1 will hand my title to Hugo
Kelly" Reports also credit him with
the following:
IF am ever able to fight again, I
want to show them that can beat
Jack Johnson, Tommy Burns, AL
Kaufman, Sam Langford and the rest
of the big 'ums. Then 1 will be salts
fed to quit for good and not until
then"

JOCKEY CLUB TO
FIGHT FOR LIFE
Stewards Will Assume Aggressive
Attitude to Save Invest
mentS in New York

NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-That the
Jockey club has decided on an aggres-
sive policy in an effort to save horse
racing in this state from the effects
of the drastic anti-betting laws passed
by the last Legislature was the declara-
tion in racing circles here today,
based on the authority of recent inter
views with prominent members of the
Jockey club
The authorities, according to these
announcements, will fight their cause
in the courts and will take advantage
of every possible vantage point to
save the $15,000,000 which they have in
vested in racing machinery in New
York state
In an interview with a member Of
the Jockey club published today, the
situation Is Summed up as folloWs
THE Jockey club intends to fight In
the future. The stewards amiability
has been accepted by their opponents
as a sign of weakness, and as a result
racing has been suppressed. The
stewards have discovered that their
tame submission has been an error.
I'm the past, rather than take full ad-
vantage of the courts decisions per-
tanning to betting, fearful that the en-
emies of the sport might say they
were violating the law-something
the race tracks have never done-the
stewards have merely taken the shad--
ow of the substance allowed them by
the courts.
"It was with a mistaken idea that
they were accomplishing some good
that the race tracks fought the pool
rooms for many years.
1T would have been much better II
the stewards had not made this move.
1t is beyond their province and jur1s-
diction to act as guardians of the
morals of persons outside. the race
tracks. The turf would have been bet
ter If they had stuck to their own
bailiwick.
'It has been the policy Of the Jockey
club heretofore to let matters take
their course, as the club did not think
1t wise to fight the opposing forces.
But now 1t intends to ask the courts
for relief. Suits will be brought at
once with this object in view"

MEL SHEPPARD STRIVING
AFTER DISTANCE MARKS
Former Olympic Team Member
Makes Several Vain At
tempts at Record

NEW YORK, Sept. 12-Mel Sheppard
made a brave try for the half-mile
record on Colonel Ruppert's private
driving track at Poughkeepsie, but he
failed because Of two reasons. First,
Sheppard was not just right" for a
record trial. Shep has been doing SO
many of these record attempts lately
that his racing vitality is not up to
the usual standard. August 20 Peer
less Mel ran a heart-breaking two
thirds mile race in Jersey in which
he set record figures. Now, any run
ner who essays to upset a mark like
Lunghrs 1852 As should be nursed
along for weeks before the attempt,
and not traced to DEATH" as Shep-
pard has been. Second, when Shep-
pard ran at Poughkeepsie, few days
after the Jersey feat he ran his nrst
300 yards a bit too fast. Mel went
out like a 100-yard man for the first
furlongs. He ran SO hard that when
he turned into the homestretch and
faced a young gale that was blow
ing he was too far "gone" to combat
the wind as he should have. Shep-
pard did not finish in Sheppard style.
He labored badly and appeared very
tired.
It must not be said that Sheppard
Is exactly stale. Any man who can
that condition, but Peerless Mel has
raced himself too much. With week
or ten days nursing he would prob
ably have cracked the record.
The track was carefully measured
before the race by Sparrow Robertson,
w. L. Jones and Len Edgren. 1t was
very fast. After the race Sheppard
said that for the first quarter mile the
track felt lightning fast. "Then my
spikes seemed to hold" quoth Shep.
This feeling was probably the result of
the hard races Sheppard has done IN
the last few weeks.
The Olympic champion was timed at
the 8O0-yard point by Paul Pilgrim,
George Underwood and J. Mclaughlin
in 1:43 3-5, a new worlds record. The
timers who caught Sheppard's half
mile at 1854 3-5 were w. L. Jones of
the Timers club, Herman Obertubes-
sing, the chairman of the registration
and Peter Kuhn of Pough-
keepsie, an expert timer of trotting
events.

BICYCLE RAGING WILL
HOLD SWAY THIS WEEK
Revival of Sport Is Planned by
AustraIian-Many Old
FavoriteS Coming

Well, what do you think about this:
e. A. Pye, the crack Australian ped
dler, has come to Los Angeles with
the intention Of reviving bicycle rae
ing in all it's old-time glory, and the
fans who in the long ago gloried in
gathering along the rail and cheering
their favorites to victory may again
have chance to do some lung work.
Pye has been riding at the big meet
which recently terminated in SAT-
Lake and has signed a score of the
best sprinters in the world to ride
here. He has selected next Sunday as
the date of his opening venture, and
Fiesta park as the scene Of his ac-
tivities.
Several old favorites, who have been
strangers to Los Angeles for many
moons, will make their reappearance.
Iver Lawson, the Terrible Swede, Is
among those already enrolled for the
local meet. Ray Duer, a native pro-
duct who made good at Salt Lake, :s
also among those present, and Pye VIII
mount his bike on many occasions.
Major Taylor, once the worlds cham
pion; Walker, Keefe, Carslake. Nc
Neil and Berryessa are among the
other stars who will compete, and in
addition many riders who have not
decided on what to do will come on
If the game proves good.

LOW SCORES MADE
IN GOLF TOURNEY
National Amateur Golf Champion.
ship Play Furnishes Many
Surprises for Fans

BROOKLINE, Mass, Sept. 12.-War-
rem K. Wood of Homewood, one of the
coterie of young golfers, was leading
the field when darkness tonight put
stop to the qualifying round of the
national amateur golf championship at
the Country club after 176 cards had
been passed in Complete. Twenty
four other golfers were unable to fin
ish before darkness came and must
pick up their games tomorrow where
they left off. Wood negotiated the
course in 40 and 35 for a 70, one stroke
lower than Walter j. Travis, the Car
den City expert and former American
amateur champion.
Robert A. Gardner of Hinsdale, pres
ent title holder, was among those who
did not finish.
AS the score stood tonight, thirteen
players were tied at eighty-seven for
the last seven places in the qualifying
round, but there probably will be some
changes when the entire field has COM
pleted the round.

STATE PRIMARY CAMPAIGN
CLOSES IN WASHINGTON
Nomination Of Man Opposed to
Cannon Is Predicted

SEATTLE, Sept. 12.-After bitter
and noisy campaign as the state has
ever known, the Republican and Demo-
cratic candidates for United States sem
ators, three congress seats, members or
the state Legislature and county Of
fees will be chosen in primary elec-
ton tomorrow.
The primary is of national interest
because of the contest of Representa-
tives Miles Poindexter, insurgent Re-
publican, for the senatorship, and be-
cause OF the effort of President Taft to
concentrate the regular Republican
vote on one candidate.
At Mr.. Taft's solicitation John l..
Wilson withdrew from the contest ten
days ago. but this left two regular
candidates still in the field, James M.
Ashton of Tacoma, and Thomas Burke
of Seattle. In the Seattle congression-
al district there are two insurgent cam
didates, and William e. Humphrey,
who has pledged himself not to vote
for Cannon. is considered likely to be
renominated.
In the Tacoma district, which is less
affected by insurgency than the other
two. the denomination of Representa-
tive w. w. McCreedie, is looked for.
A new man is to be chosen In the Spo-
kane district, because of the retire.
nent of Poindexter.

CHURCH CHARGES CLERGYMAN
WITH MISUSING ITS FUNDS
Former Pastor Accused of Not
Having Been Ordained

MIDDLETOWN, Conn, Sept. 12.--
Chester H. Sweet, up to six months ago
pastor of the Congregational church of
Durham, five miles from here, was
brought there from New Haven today
under arrest. He is charged with mis-
appropriation of church funds.
Mr.. Sweet left Durham suddenly last
February, saying he was going to Bos-
ton for an operation on his throat. At
ter his departure the alleged misuse of
church money and the alleged fact that
he was not a regularly ordained min
lister were discovered.
When Mr.. Sweet was led through
Durham streets this afternoon he was
jeered and hooted by the townsfolk He
spent the afternoon and a greater part
of the night trying to find some one
to furnish $400, but at a late hour had
failed.
The church officials say that the sum
Sweet is accused Of having misappro-
printed is not large, but that letter
presented by him and purporting to
give him formal dismissal from the
Union church in Boston, Mass, has
been repudiated by the Boston church,
which never heard of Sweet. After
leaving Durham Sweet wrote to the
church saying his throat trouble would
prevent his preaching for six months.
They were surprised to learn two Sun
days later that he was supplying a.
church in Brownsfield, Me. After leav-
ing Maine he went to Everett, Mass,
where he kept books in a factory, and
thence to New Haven, where he was
arrested.
Mr.. Sweet is about 80 years old. He
has wife and one child, who are in
New Haven. He refused to discuss his
arrest. Since his departure from Dur
ham the church people have settled a
number of bills which he contracted.
He was at one time a preacher in a
Christian Brotherhood church at New
Bedford, Mass.

TEN EYCK'S RETIREMENT
BOOST FOR WISCONSIN
Excellent SingIe-ScuIIer Was Pro-
nounced Failure as Coach

MADISON, wis, Sept. 12.-Wiscon-
sin is to be congratulated on the pass
ing of the younger Ten Eyck as crew
coach. Young Ten Eyck was a fine
single sculler, but as coach he was
an unqualified failure. The art of
sweep rowing was a closed book to
him, apparently, and he sent poor
crews to the east, despite the wealth
of material from which to build them.
It will be a difficult matter to find a
successor, for coaches of eight-oared
crews are scarce.
1t does not necessarily follow, how
ever, that Wisconsin will cease send
ing crews to the Hudson regatta.
Probably an attempt will be made to
institute a system of graduate coaching,
although it is doubtful if this could
last. The graduate coach is not an
expert at rigging a shell, and a poorly
taught oarsman is hardly likely to
make a capable coach. 1t would seem
that the Badgers might do well to en-
gage some pupil of Jim Wray, If one
is available, and start their rowing
system all over again. A thorough
housecleaning is needed.

The football squad OF the University
of Southern California will make a
tour of the west IL they are successful
in the preliminary gridiron work this
month. A game with the University
of Arizona, to be played at Tucson on
Thanksgiving day, has already been
arranged, and If the ability of the
schedule games with the st. Louis uni
versity and several of the teams in
the Rocky mountain region.
1t is rumored that Los Angeles will
witness a post-season game between
the University of Denver and the local
u. S. C. team. Arrangements are
being made to take the Denver squad
on long trip, and If they come here
the local football world will have a
chance to see a team in action that
eXcels in the open style Of play. BY
winning the undisputed championship
of the Rocky mountains in 1908 Den
yer was the sensation of the football
world. After years of comparative in
activity in athletics 1t won the cham
pionship again last year, and with a
large and experienced squad will prob
ably repeat the performance this year.
Koehler, who played at Chicago under
Stagg, is the coach.
Up to date training methods will be
in vogue from the start of the football
season at the Methodist camp. Man
ager Bovard has arranged for a train
ing table where the men can be kept
together through the season.
The u. S. G. "freshies". will substi-
tute for Pomona in the annual baby
game between that school and Occi-
dental. Pomona does not open until
the 2Sth of the month and any time
devoted to the freshman team would
interfere with varsity practice, as the
other colleges will already have had q
two weeks handicap in gridiron prac-
tice.
Stan Burek, who will be assistant
coach at the university this fall, is due
in town this week. BurelS coached the
preparatory team through a successful
season last season and is slated for the
same task this year. The U. S. G.
preps and Oxy academy seem to be the
only city high school squads who will
play the American game.
The preparatory back field will re-
turn to school intact. ''Dike" Stabler,
captain of last years team, a good
handler of the forward pass and an
all-around player will be back to play
his old position. Hunter and Wallace,
with Todd Wright, who was one of the
best quarterbacks in Southern Cali
fornia last year, are the remaining
men of the back field who will return
to form a winning team.
Hummel, left end last year. has grad
uated and will try his hand at inter-
collegiate football, but Bobby Huston,
the other end, who made the All-South-
ern California high school team last
year, will be back to hold down his
side of the line.
Clement the 220-pound guard. is the
only line man to return so far, but
there are several second team men
who will probably make good. II
Burel1's successful coaching of last
year is repeated the preps should turn
out another winning squad.

JAPANESE HITS WAITER,
FACES BATTERY CHARGE

SANTA MONICA, Sept. III. ETC.
a Japanese kitchen helper at local
cafe, will be tried before Judge Car
rillo tomorrow morning for battery
The charge was filed against him by
Lee r. Roe, waiter at the same
cafe.
The difficulty between the two men
arose over a request made by Roe OF
the Japanese for piece Of old meat
fo- the dog of one of the evening din
ers. A dozen other Japanese in the
kitchen gathered around when Ito and
Roe clashed and a miniature race war
appeared to be imminent when the ar
rival of a policeman prevented further
trouble. Ten stitches were required
to mend the cut in Roe's head where
he received a blow from a large board
