COMMISSION CONFIRMED
Members of Council Pleased with
Mayor AIexander's Choices for
Important Board

The appointments of c. D. Silent, Fl.
w. O'Melveny and ]. B. Lippincott to
the park commission were confirmed
by the council yesterday, and 1ndlVld-
uaI members of the council expressed
the belief that the mayor had made
most happy choices for this important
board.
Judge Silent, who is one of the Tore
most lawyers of Los Angeles, is deep
ly interested in the work of the parks.
He has a private park of his own thaC
he is transforming into one OF the
show places of Southern California.
This park is in the San Gabriel valley
near Glendora, and it's fame has al
ready spread throughout the country
Ii. w. O'Melveny an equally prolnl-
nent member of the Los Angeles bar,
is an amateur fioriculturist who has
studied this subject so thoroughly that
there are few professionals who can
give him many pointers.
j. b. Lippincott is an authority on
water and it is expected the parkst
will be provided with owens river wa
ter through his influence. While the
subject of his confirmation was under
discussion Councilman Plant asked if
it was legal for Mr.. Lippincott to
serve on the park commission and as
assistant engineer of the aqueduct at
the same time. Emmet Wilson, chief
deputy city attorney, advised Mr.. Plant
there was no legal objection to 1t.

REALTO GOSSIP
By Jay Davidson

TACK KIPPER received u letter yes
terday from Mrs. James Jeffries,
- who is quite i'll in a Chicago hos
pital, giving the good news that she is
rapidly recovering and will be able to
leave the hospital in a few days She
will return to Los Angeles February l.
Jeff is touring the northwest with his
show, but the big fellow has his ad-
vance man always arrange with the
railroads for a special train and a clear
track into Chicago so that he can
leave on an hours notice should the
condition of Mrs. Jeffries become more
serious. Only under these conditions
would he consent to go on with his
theatrical tour. It is typical Of the big
fellow.
Fred Berry, kid brother to Henry and
Clarence Berry, is visiting his famous
brothers for a few days. He is a
farmer up in the Tehachapi, and pros
pering, which seems to be a family
trait. He is not half as big as his
brothers, but he can beat either of
them playing p-ball.
Fred Schiffman, sportsman and
ranchero out Glendora way, was in the
city yesterday afternoon on business.
Fred and Frank Chance are neighbors
and find each other such congenial
company that neither cares to come to
town until business forces them to do
so. Fred is arranging to entertain a
small colony of ball players from the
Angel and Vernon teams soon. and
those who have enjoyed his hospitali-
ty will envy the ball tossers their good
fortune in being his guests.
Big Chief Myers, one of the star
backstops of the New York Giants,
came up from San Diego yesterday to
see the airships fly. Myers is a River
side boy and one of the famous play
ers sent to the big leagues from this
grand old state, Down in his heart
he would welcome a deal whereby he
could return to one of the Southern
California league teams, but the rules
will not permit.
Ad Wolgast has had his nose.
Strengthened by an operation per-
formed yesterday, and this will prevent
him from going to Wheeler Springs
until the last of the week. AS Hobo
Dougherty also has had his nasal ap-
pendage operated upon and the doctor
has advised both boys to stay in town
for a few days, the Jones' Wolgast
party had to postpone their trip to the
springs. However, all will be there by
Saturday. and quite a number of local
sportsmen are planning to visit them
during their fortnight stay.
Barney Oldfield and wife and Bub
PiclIens, manager of the daredevil auto
racer, leave today for New York,

200-horsepower Benz car that is being
manufactured for him. He will go to

HIGH SCHOOL TRACK
MEN WORK AT U. S. c.
Coach Noble Has Small Squad Out
and Will Increase Number Next
Week-Practce Games to
Be Played

Owing to the fact that the Los Ange-
les high school has no field for track
sports, the school candidates for this
years track team are working out on
the University of Southern California
field. Since commencing the workouts
a few days ago only a few of the can
didates have been working under the
instruction of Coach Noble, but with
the opening of next week the entire
squad will get down to hard work, and
at early dates the team will put through
a series of practice meets with Occi
dental, University of Southern Califor
mia and Pomona. These dates will
come previous to the regular high

Trantum mixed with the champions of
the marine handbaH tournament, Galley
and Nest, in a match series yesterday
at the Los Angeles Athletic club, which
resulted in a win for the champs. The
first game of the series of three played
went to the challengers by the score
of 21 to IS, but the champions came
back strong in the next two games
and won by the scores of 21 to 10 and
21 to 70. The losers have challenged
the CLANS, Henderson and Witt, to
play this afternoon and it is expected
that a good crowd will be present to
witness the contest.

Rose says that he hopes the Emery
vile meeting, under the oral betting
system, will prove such a success that
he and his associates will be justified
in trying the experiment at Santa An
ita park next winter for a period of
probably thirty days However, he has
been operating at Juarez all winter,
and is not informed fully regarding the
success Of the system at Oakland. He
is en- his way TO san Francisco. and
will investigate thoroughly into condi-
tions and see for himself just how the
patrons of the sport are regarding the
new order of things Then he VIII be
in a position 10 make positive an
nouncement as TO plans for next winter
for meeting at Santa Anita.
I'VE hope that the patronage at En-
eryville is proving sufficient under the
new order of things TO justify US in
trying the experiment here next win
ter" he said last night. If the season
at Emeryville shows that the attend
ance is sufficient to pay the running
expenses of the meeting, or even close
to it, we will take a chance for thirty
days next winter at Santa Anita park
to test the system here. The stock
holders are so anxious to keep the sport
going that they would not object to
running a short meeting even at loss
if in doing so the sport would be re-
established here. In making the eX-
perimental test we understand thor
oughly that the patrons of the sport in
the past are not acquainted with the
workings of the new system, as a rule,
and that it is impossible to predict ac-
curately just how they will accept the
new order. However. if the attend
ance should prove sufficient to pay the
running expenses, or within $4,000 or
$4,000 of it, we would regard the ex-
pertinent as a success and look to the
future with much confidence"
Praises Juarez Management
Rose is profuse in praise of the man
agement of the Juarez meeting. and
expresses little doubt of the ultimate
success OF the efforts of Messrs. Winn,
Follansbee, Terrazas and their associ-
ates to establish racing upon a perma-
nent basis in Mexico. He says that the
attendance at the races will average
from 1000 to 1900 persons daily, and
that it is increasing in manner that
indicates better things for the future
1.-THE plant at Juarez is modern in
every particular, and is one of the
handsomest west of New York. The

NEW SUBDIVISION STREETS
MUST CONFORM WITH OLD
Council Takes Action Looking to
Regular Lines of City Tho
roughfares

The streets and alleys of all new
subdivisions must conform to the
streets and alleys of existing subdi-
visions before they will be accepted by
the council. This policy was adopted
by the council yesterday and 1t means
that there will be no more jogs in
streets. The city attorney was in
structed to prepare an ordinance max
ing this policy Of the council law.
The matter was brought to the atten-
ton of the council when the city en-
gineer presented two maps of subdi-
visions for the council to approve.
Councilman Washburn was under the
impression that there was an ordinance
in effect compelling all new streets to
conform to existing lines and was
much surprised when told by Deputy
Wilson that such was not the case.
]. w. Johnson, assistant city engi-
neer told the council that the engt-
neers department tried to have the
streets conform in every case where
it was possible before the maps were
approved by the engineering depart
ment. but said Mr.. Johnson:
1--WE have found that when We bear
down too hard on tract subdiVlders
they record their own streets as private
rights of way and the council has no
Jurisdiction over the matter at ALL"
Councilman Plant said the city could
force these subdividers to come to time
by refusing to lay water mains, sewers
and other necessary utilities in any
thing but public streets or ALLEYS, and
Deputy Wilson declared this could be
legally done. He was instructed to in
clude this provision in the ordinance.
Mr.. Johnson objected that it was the
man who purchased theslot from the
subdivider who would be the loser, as
he would not know that the street was
not public street.

VICTIM OF PASADENA
CAR NOT IDENTIFIED
Coroner's Efforts to Place Man ln-
stantly Killed Met with no
Success

An unidentified man about % years
old was struck and killed instantly by
a Pasadena Short Line~car at the MIS-
sion road crossing yesterday morning
The body was carried more than nun
dred feet and tossed into ditch near
the tracks.
When the accident was reported TO
the coroner the victim was thought TO
be a member of one, of the training
camps for prize fighters, two OF whlch
are in that neighborhood. An investi-
cation, however, revealed the fact that
none was missing.
The body was taken to the undertake
ing parlors of Pierce Brothers and the
coroner is making an effort to learn
the identity of the dead man. The un-
fortunate person was killed instantly
the head being crushed and the legs,
arms and chest bruised and lacerated.
The date of the inquest will be set
later.

in March.
Orvie Overall and wife have ar
rived for an extended visit with Frank
Chance and wife at their Glendora
ranch home. overall is one of the star
twirlers for Chances cubs and the
pair are better friends than the aver
age ball player and his manager.
Jack Kipper is as white as a ghost
sheet these days, fearing that he is
about to be seized with pleuro- -pneu-
monia. The packing and armor plate
he has about his chest makes him ap-
pear as large as Jeff, almost, and he
is dieting himself on boiling hot water
and ginger snaps to keep up circula-
tion. He gets as weak as a kitten when
one remarks as to his sickly look.
Kitty Prashear has arrived from I'm
perial valley in search of a pair of
bali tossers for the Ell Centre club in
the Imperial league with which Kit is
playing. He says the Imperial league
clubs are playing classy ball and have
several high-class players in the game.
Kitten is some class himself.
Hap Hogan has received signed con-
tracts from Walter Carlisle, Roy Bra
shear and Martinke in the day or two
and is expecting all his players to re-
turn their signed contracts within a
week He wired Connie Mack yester-
day for a third baseman to take the
place made vacant by the resignation
of Brick DevereauX, who goes TO the
Bakersfield Independent club. Hogan
will not have any interest in the san
Jose club in the State league, but may
loan the club a few players from time
to time.
Arcadia is apt to get on the map
as a training point for scrappers who
have local engagements. Jim Flynn
will train at Doyle's club and Sam
Langford must hunt for another spot,
so Arcadia probably will draw the
attraction. There is no more ideal
spot on earth for a training camp.
Archibald got back into the saddle
yesterday at Juarez after serving his
term of suspension for rough riding.
His friends hope he will behave him
self in future, as he is one of the
premier riders of the day and should
give the patronizing public the benefit
of his excellent services. Archibald
should be riding at the top of the heap
down east next summer
Nat Goodwin will put in several days
at Wheeler Springs during the stay of
the Wolgast-Jones party. He is a
great admirer of Wolgast and believes
in him as a future champion.
Ellis Cohn has returned from an eX-
tended business and pleasure trip to
Boodletown. He did not take in the
races, he says, but met many old
friends in the world of sport and busi-
ness.

beautfying the plant. They are game
lot of sportsmen, and are enthused at
the prospects for future success. Not
withstanding the adverse weather con-
ditions there this winter WHICH the ma
tiyes tell me is the most severe winter
in many years, the management has
gone ahead with racing and will run
out its allotment of days, with prob
able extension in March.
Weather Was Unbearable
1.-THE weather was unbearable for
few days last month, and racing was
called off during the most severe peri
cd. Snow and ice and cutting winds
made it unwise to attempt to race, ana
horsemen were afraid to risk their
horses upon the frozen track. All of
us stayed indoors most Of the time, but
this blizzard lasted only a few days,
and everything became lovely again
when il passed Racing was resumed,
and it has been of improved order
since The track also was benefited,
as the improved going and the remark
ably fast time made there last week
proves. 1t is one of the fastest tracks
on the continent
"Juarez is ideally located at the gate
way to the southwest, and If weather
GOIulllOIlS
the sport will be much improved over
that of this year. With the sport es-
tablished and hOrsemen imbued with
confidence that the season will be COM
pleted as announced, 1 expect to see
many more eastern horsemen racing
there next winter than is now the case,
and with them will come horses of the
best class. The men who are backing
the enterprise with their money are
good game sportsmen, and deserve the
success which l feel assured will be
theirs in the future
Rose is accompanied by Mrs. Rose,
and they will visit here for several
days, leaving Saturday evening for san
Francisco. He does not know yet
whether he will get into the oral bet
ting game up there, but will do so If II
looks good to him. His principal mis-
sion will be to investigate conditions
there and decide therefrom whether 1t
will be safe to try to run an expert
mental season here next winter. He is
of the opinion that Los Angeles will
support it if San Francisco can do it.
His opinion will govern, Of course, as
he is the controlling stockholder, and
he will act as President Tom Williams

ARREST HUSBAND FOR
ASSAULT WITH KNIFE
Screams of Woman Draw Officers to
House Where Family Row is
in Progress

Screams emitted by Mrs. Mabel Scott,
27 years old, of 44S South Figueroa
street, attracted the attention yester-
day of Sergt. White and Patrolmen
Baines and Elsinor, who rushed into
fhe house and found her suffering from
a laceration of her upper lip. She told
the policemen that she .awoke and saw
her husband bending over her and
pressing a knife close to her face. She
said she jumped up, and the knife cut
her lip.
Her husband, C. W. Scott, was ar
rested and locked up in the city Jail on
was taken to the receiving hospital.
No charges have been issued against
Scott, but it is probable he will be ar
raigned in police court this morning
on a charge of battery.
