MANY RACING PHASES
ARE NOT UNDERSTOOD
HANDICAP PER IS
MAN OF HOUR
HORSE OWNERS DEPEND UPON
HIS SKILL
Entries Are Weighted According to
Age and Past Performances.
Features of Turf Life
Described
Perhaps a itnall portion of the Rrent
rnce going public thoroughly under*
stands or even possesses ■ vague no
tion of ih" manner In which horses
nre ■i " ■ ifli .1 for the various events
ln which they are entered. A fnlnt
I lea nlso exists as regards many other
lmportantI Important racing phaios, and for
this reason The Herald has compiled
.i. i list of facts thai no publication cov
ers.
Probably the most Important official
of every jockey club, with possible ex
ception of the presiding Judge, Ii a.
handlcapper, whose duty It is to ar
range the d.illy program; the distances
and weights apportioned to each en
try. The horses are listed by their
owners or agents.
Turf sport embodies four kinds of
races, namely: Handicap, purse, sell-
Ing;I Ing; and selling handicap. A handi
cap event Is one In which owners en
ter their horses in advance. The handl
capper then makes a resume of past
performances and allots the weights,
so that each horse, in his opinion, will
possess an equal chance of winning.
These weights are then posted on a
bulletin board and those owners who
are dissatisfied may declare their prop
erty out of the race a day previous,
while those that remain are carded to
start.
A purse event is a race for which .ill
horses carry weight according to age.
AA A scheduled scale exists that varies
each month and with different dis
tances. For Instance:
Two-year-olds carded to pro a mile in
December carry 100 pounds. Three
year-olds, 118 pounds. Four-year-olds,
five-year-olds, six-year-olds and aged
horses carry 122 pounds. Conditions
under which some of these races are
run may demand that five pounds or
more be taken off, and all horses en
tered are docked correspondingly.
Not every horse is eligible for such
events, as a condition may be placed
calling for non-winners of one race,
and so on. A provision may also be
placed accepting only non-winners
from a certain date. Sex allowance
also enters. A mare is allowed five
pounds off for weight age, while a
gelding Is entitled to three. This rule
is also observed in a selling race or a
Belling handicap.
Bidding Up
I Not a few track devotees are con
fused by the "bidding up" which oc
curs after a selling race. In a selling
race the owners are allowed to name
the weights. The limitations vary as
to winners and non-winners of one race
or more, and winners from a certain
j date, as in a purse affair.
! Methods of ascertaining the selling
■ price and weight are far too numerous
Ito mention In the space allotted. An
lnstance follows, however, in which the
conditions for the sixth race at Ascot
park Friday, January 10, 1907, are
given:
"For three-year-olds and upward.
Belling. Purse $400, of which $50 to sec
ond and $2:"> to third. Three-year-olds
to carry 100 lbs.; four-year-olds and
upward, 11!> libs. The winner to be
sold for $1000. If for less, 2 lbs. allowed
for each $100 down to $400. Winners at
the meeting not to be entered for less
than $700. Seven furlongs."
So soon as a horse wins a selling race
he Is offered at auction to the highest
bidder. Should the associate judge call
three times without response, the own
er retains his horse.
lfI If a horse be entered for $400 and is
bid up to $HOO after winning, the owner
must bid higher or receive only $400
I plus the money for first place. The $500
' bid money is divided equally between
the jockey club and owner of the horse
which ran second.
lfI If the owner whose horse won had
bid $5 above the $900 he would have
retained his property by paying the
$505. When a horse is retainer! such
money Is divided equally between
Jockey club rind owner of the horse
1 running second.
Thus it will be Been thai an owner
retaining his horse, as per Instance
! given, would lose $180 by the rare, as
he lived but $325 for winning. These
i races are run for the benefit of a poor
i i lass of horses.
Naturally a good horse would will
easily, tun an owner of such property
would hardly be expected to enter his
horse for much less than his real value.
Otherwise he would risk tie- eh. nice of
hlg entry or money necessary
to retain.
Selling Handicap
AA A selling handicap is something of
an innovation and is very seldom wit
nessed. It combines both handicap
und selling conditions, the single differ
ence being that all horses are entered
for a certain amount, as set forth In
the program book.
Ascot park management makes no .
charge for an over-night entry in- [
voh mi,' a ! a ■'■ of any description. In ,
stake iiic«>s a charge is made when the J
horso is nominated for the event. An
addition 'i fee is added should the nom
inee start.
The Ascot park stake conditions
make it Imperative that no horse can
bcb be entered after a certain date set by
the secretary. Such date is generally
limited tii oni week before the meet
ing opens.
a question sometimes arises concern
ling the scratching of horses, why and
I how scratching is effected. Trainers
•is a rule do not wish to start their
horses when they believe thai a very
slight chance for winning exists, and
thus scratch them. In all over-night
entries horsemen are, by special per
mission of he judges, allowed to make
scratches so long All eight horses are
left for the field. In many Instances a
horse meets with a mishap or is taken
11 over night. Upon Investigation the
judges allow cancellation of entry.
Certain owners, hose hoi ■ will not
stand training In the morning, enter
merely for the purpose of rounding
them to condition. When 100 to 1, or
some such odds are posted nguinst a
horso It may usually be taken for
granted that the entry Is nut for noth
ing more than a conditioner.
Aside from the furlongs ami mile
events there are a number of other
distances. These are: The Futurity,
ltrnoks course, and Columbia course.
■ The Futurity course is 200 feet short
of six furlongs, and receives its name
from conditions arising at Bheepshead
liay. A straightaway on the famous
track lacked 200 feel of the furlong
mark. Until several years ugo the
LOS ANGELES HERALD: MONDAY MORNING, JANUARY 14. 1907.
classic event wan six furlongs over this |
course, it wn* lengthened, however,
and the futurity Is now raced over
the lx furlongs.
Brook* Course
The Brooks course, nt Ascot, Is 73
yards short of a mile and a quarter,
and the event Is limited to the' local
track. The arrangement was effected,
as the quarter mile, came at the turn
from where It would bo manifestly un
fair to send a large field. The outside
horses would be able to close In on the
rail entries and thereby gain a decided
advantage.

eight pitchers who appeared lnst season
In the games of the American lenßtte
but one, I,aroy of New York, won all
the panics In which he appeared. This
achievement, however, Is not so credit
able as it pounds for the reason that he
appeared In only two games.
Next to Laroy in games won Is Plank
of Philadelphia, who won nineteen
games and lost six. White of Chicago
was third with eighteen games won. six

showing for Cleveland with twelve

ACADEMICS FAVOR
RUGBY FOOTBALL
BERKELEY TAKES CENSUS OF
OPINION
Southern California High Schools Are
Questioned Regarding Success
of the Game During
Past Season
BERKELEY, Cal., Jan. 13.— Mr. P.
W. Kauffman, principal of the Pomona ,;
high school, has forwarded to the unl-
veraity some exceedingly interesting a
items based online experience of his j
own and other schools in playing the f
Rugby game of football. The Orange t
Belt league, consisting of the Redlands,
Riverside, San Bernardino, Colton, On- t
tarlo and Pomona high schools took up t
Rugby for the league games this year, t
Four of these schools were able to put <
out Rugby teams and played at a regu- i
lar series in addition to several games i
with teams outside the league. ;
At the close of the season Principal '
Kauffman sent questions to all of the
schools In his part of the state which I
had played Rugby, and gives the fol
lowing as a summary of the answers
received, the replies being from six
schools: Los Angeles Polytechnic,
Long Beach, Compton, Riverside, Red
lands and Pomona.
Which furnishes the better athletic
training for those taking part In the
game. Five answer Rugby and one in
doubt. Which furnishes the better op
portunity for the development of skill?
Six answer Rug-by. Which has the
greater element of danger to life and
limb? Six answer intercollegiate.
Which better promotes the feelings of
true sportsmanship in the players?
after an exciting game? Two answer
Six answer Rug-by. Which leaves the
better spirit among the pupils of the
contesting schools after an exciting
game? Two answer Rugby, one doubt
ful and the others unanswered. Which
has the greater tendency to the de
velopment of professionalism? Two
answer intercollegiate; others no re
