ANNUAL NEW YEARS DOG RACE
 BROKE ALL LOCAL RECORDS
(By Wireless 10 The Ploneel

With weather of the finest, with good list of entries and the attention of the reople of the entrle district concentrated oon it, the fourth annual New Years day lsndjcsp of the Iditarod Kennel Club was staged on the afternoon of the first day of the year There may have been races in former years in which more money was at stake, and larger crowds may have watched the canine contestants struggling for the coveted prize, but it is safe to say that n.ye1 ln the history of the sport in this district was 8 race pulled of in which the interest was 50 we'll sustained from start to finish From the time that the Shubert entry left the starting point at ldltarod until the last team cantered home, excitement was 4t high pitch, and the thrilling fight for second place between DeHouse, Shubert and Boardmsn was the signal for enthusas. tic cheering from the crowd that awaited the finale The best time that made by the Glantz team, establishes record, and the fact that all six teams that finished came in within l2 minutes speaks much tor the fairness of the handicap made by the officials of the club.
 Before the race bets were freely offered of 10 10 on the Maynard and Glantz entries against the field with DO takers. There was very little betting done, but this in no wisa detracted from the interest
 The teams got away to good start, and maintained their respective positions until Flat City was reached when slight changes were noticeable in the running. On the re- turn to Flat from Discovery the Kay team took the lead and maints sned 1t throughout, and crossed the finish line in the very good time of l :57 80.
 For second money DeHouse nosed out Shubert, and Boardman came in but few seconds behind him This was probably as pretty a contest as was ever witnessed ln an event of this nature.
 The record made by the Glantz team, 50, is 6 remarkably good one, especially n view of the fact that the leader had to be unharnessed and led home It was a disappointment to many that this team did not carry of the prize, and doubtless had it not met with misfortune it would have won The following table shows the relative positions of the different teams from start to finish:

FELIX DIAZ INDICTED
 AND HEARING COMMENCES
Trouble Among Mexican Patriots" Seems to Have Been Mixed-Up Affair
 Two Different Versions

Havana. Nov 9-Felix Diaz and his companions who were arrested after the stabbing affray here recently, were indicted yesterday and are being held by the Cuban officials until the matter can be thoroughly investigated.
 All reports agree that as Disz was walk ing along the Malecon promenade he was attacked by some other Mexicans and was stabbed several times about the head, from which injuries he IS now in the hospital. During the encounter Pedro Guerrero, one of the attacking party, was shot twice.
 The Mexicans hold that Diaz made a re mark derogatory to Carranza as he WAS passing them and they resented it. The Mexicans are believed to be agents of Huerta who were sent here to put Diaz out of the way.
 Although all of the participants in the Friday evening encounter have been arrest ed, no action has yet been taken against the other Mexicans.
 Guerrero Started the Trouble
 A policeman who witnessed the encoun- ter between the Mexicans on Malecon prom enade last week at the preliminary hearing testfed that Guerrero started the trouble and was shot by Diaz.
 The Mexican is not seriously injured, ss was at first believed, and he will be able to be about within short time. The wounds of Felix Diaz will keep him in the hospital but a few days.

With Old Enemy.
BOTH ARE WELL USED UP

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Jam AID
Wolgast, of Cadillac, Mich, former
lightweight champion, had the better
of Joe Rivers, of Los Angeles, Cal.
in a fast ten-round bout here last
night. From the tap of the first gong
to the end of the bout the men fought
each other all over the ring, with the
Michigan boxer doing most of the
leading. 1t was this continual boring
in and clever inflghting which gave
Wolgast his second victory over the
Californian.
wolgast gained a clear lead early,
it, although he fought at top speed.
Ad had the better of the second,
third, ninth and tenth rounds. while
Rivers gained shades in the fourth
and eighth. The other rounds were
even, but each man had to keep busy
at all times to hold his own.
Rivers bled profusely throughout
the match. Ad split his opponents
nose and mouth in the second round,
and kept peppering away at the cuts
during the bout.
twice during the HSnI WolgdS
went to the floor by missing swings,
and each time Joe fell on top of him.
Once they wrestled with Referee
Stout in the middle of the ring, and
Wolgast almost went through the
ropes.
Wolgasts ability to block and then
use both hands when at close range
was excellent. Rivers showed to an
advantage at long range, but he
could not land enough to defeat the
Michigan boy.

Plans Are on Foot to Bring

National Open Golf Champion Fran
els Ouimet arrived yesterday morning
at Pinehurst, n. C, in company with
his friend and clubmate, Paul Tewks-
bury, of the Woodland Golf Club,
and j. III. Sullivan, jr., of Boston, in
terscholastic champion in 1872. The
party reached Pinehurst at 10 o'clock
and an hour later were on the golf
links, where they spent most of the
day. A Woodland club foursome,
with c. L. Becker and T. A. Ashley
as the partners of Ouimet and Tewks-
bury, arranged for the afternoon, was
postponed.
Considerable interest is aroused by
the possibility of the much-talked-of
match between Ouimet and Chick
Evans during the formers visit.
There is probability that Evans will
be at Atlanta in the immediate future
and If he does there surely will be
strenuous efforts to bring the pair
together here. Robert Hunter, of
Noroton, is prominently associated in
the movement to arrange match
which, If consummated, would be in
ternational in it's character.
A new tournament for the profess
sional golfers probably will be held
during the coming season. The Spring
Lake Golf and Country Club is plan
ming to hold an open tournament.
probably during August when the
season at the New Jersey coast resort
is at it's height. The need of more
open tournaments in which the pro-
fessionals can get the training that
comes only with competition, and the
Spring Lake club is the first to plan
to fill the need. The club hitherto
has not figured in the tournament
field. but 1t has a course about $500
yards in length which will furnish a
good test of the skill OF the profess
SIGNALS. With practically all of the
leading professionals stationed in the
