greater in1elder than Hans Wagner,
Frank Chance or any of them. He
saws that Burrill is one of the fastest
sprinters in the world, being able to do
hundred yards in 10 2-5 with ease,
and that he is a patient and reliable
batter. Los Angeles fans sincerely
hope that Pasadena Fan knows what
he is talking about.
Jack Kipper is sporting a diamond
ring that weighs a little less than Il
ton and sparl1les like an automobile
headlight. 1t is the gift of his pal, JEFF
fries, old boy. and Kip would not part
with it for an entire proprietorship in
the Spring street cafe. It represents
about $1,000 in cash value and more
than 81, ,O0O,O 900 in sentimental value.
B. Z. Bensinger. president Of the
Brunswick Bake -Collender company,
is here for a short visit. Fred Simp-
son. manager of the local branch of
that company, is entertaining him and
it may be probable that after Simpson
gets through talking Bensinger will de-
eide to send some of the three-cush-
ion balk line billiardists south during
the spring and summer while they are
touring the west.
Racing at Juarez will come to close
next Sunday afternoon, when the Ju-
arez derby will feature the final card.
1t is reported that the meeting has
turned out to be financial success, far
beyond the dreams of its promoters,
and that racing will be conducted on
a grander scale than ever next win
ter. Fifteen layers are in line now
and money is becoming more plentiful
there, while the ponies are doing their
part toward making the sport popular
by winning in formful fashion.
Buckthorn, for which Mel Lawrence
frequently has refused $1,000, was
claimed out of the race in which he
finished third on st. Valentines day.
The claiming price was $500, which,
with first money added, makes the
price paid about $3.50. He is a very
cheap horse at the price.
Now that the Milwaukee Dutchman
really owns the lightweight title, he
should come right hack home with it
and get George Memsic on for a re-
turn engagement in order to make
his record clear. Memsic is the only
lightweight vino can boast of whip
ping the Wildcat, and there are many
fans who believe the Bohemian can turn
the trick again. The match would be
a good card and would fit in nicely
with McCarey's plans for a Decoration
day battle at Vernon.

"HiIGH FLYING"

On Monday, Jan. 10, Glen Cur tis made the first official flight at Aviation park, five miles north of Long Beach. Since then world records have been smashed to smitherines. On Wednesday, 12, Louis Paulhan ascended to a height of 4165 feet, almost dis appearing from sight, then came down in z minutes as gracefully as hawk could alight, and was carried in the air by enthusiastic crowds.
 There has not been a day that some great flight has not been made; on Thursday Paulin made the trips around the course which is marked by towers, then disap- peared over the hill, sailing over the Long Beach and San Pedro harborS. soaring thousands of sea gullS almost to death, sailing over the Palos Verdis mountains and returning in 34 minutes. Curtis on the following day broke his and all other records, flying 1.6l miles in ? minutes, l2 sec onds on circular track.
 Saturday the Frenchman, ac- companied by his wife, left the field for Santianita Baldwin race track), a distance of 45 miles round trip, and returned in one hour, } minutes, II seconds.
 Monday, 17th, Willard arose from a 20foot square, lighting in the same square.
 Thursday, the last day, was one of the best for spectacular flying. Paulin and Curtis raced around the course for two hours, Curtis gaining two laps of 1.61 miles each. c. K. Hamilton, in Curtis biplane, while 600 feet in the air, broke his shaft and made glide B. of mile to earth with out a jar. The question is often asked as to the danger of the en- gine'S failure to work while fly ing, it was demonstrated beyond doubt that a Curtis or a Farman biplane can be Steared on an an gle of 45 degrees to the ground, then running on their wheels un- til the momentum is broken.
 The sensation while watching heavier than air machine fly through space is great. It's a new feeling, causing the spiders of ice to creep continually.
 Aviating by such experts as those seen here was by far the best show, and the best enter tainment of my life.
 Paulin received fifty thousand dollars for ten days, besides nineteen thousand in prizes. We will have the pleasure of an an nual 10 days of the greatest sport on earth, as Los Angeles county, California, offers more in mid winter climate than any part of the country.
 Again I say it's great" it's wonderful.
 I hope to have some of my friends from Arkansas enjoy it with me next January.
