The feature of the afternoon wns Ampedo'a great race with 118 pounds on his back. He was away last from the barrier and won easily. Bauble, the favorite nt 2 to 1 in the first race, took the lead and with Kro Pyro fit her saddle skirts all the way held an advantage to the end with both boys driving whip and ppur. Joe Kelly Just did last lon* cnoujrh to save third from Nothing, which was away none too well and finished like a cyclone next to the rail. Joe Kelly was played heavily for »how at 5 and 6 to 1. The second race developed a nose finish between Phil Igoe and Louise FitzKibbon. The latter finished like a whirlwind anil would have won in another Jump. Kin Ahab Just did pet show money by a nose from Blue Bottle. Susannah and 111110 Bottle ran head and head the first half, where the favorite moved up and In a drive Won from FHzglbbon. Susannah stopped badly the final fifty yards. Alex Shields put over a pood thing in the third race when Homelander man aged to win from Desmages and 01- v onni Balerlo. Homelander opened at 6 to 5 and went to as good aa 2 to 1, when commissions came in fast. How- ever his price dropped to 8 to B. It was rumored about the track that the poolrooms all over the country were hit hard by his win. Oivonnl was backed from 4 to 3 to evens at post time and Desmages waa always as pood as 15 to 1. Glvonnl opened a pap of five lengths until the far turn, where the balance of the field began to cut down hi lead to two lengths. Coming Into the stretch Desmages was second and Homelander third on the outside, but the long-stridinp son of Long Island finished fast and won ridden out from Desmages by a neck, With Givonnl a head behind. The others were beaten off. Henry "Waite showed early speed and 1" ara watching in a sprint nice with cheap selling platers. Greeno was made favorite for tin fourth race, with Snn Alviso Becond choice at 3 to 1. Ampedn, after his odds reached 6 to 1, was heavily backed by his owntr till at post time 8% to 1 was the best to be had. Allerlon was always as Rood as 12 to 1. After a short delay Holtman got the field away, with Yaado and Elancer taking the lead during the tirst quar ter. They ran this way to the Btretch, where Ampedo got through next to the rail and won in a gallop. It was a high class performance and if lie holds his present form will be a dangerous factor in the derby. Altftiion, always colse to the leader, got the place hand ily. In a drive San Alviso took the show money. Seasick, after being backed from S to 3 to 1, went to the post favorite for the fifth race. Search Me was backed from 15 to 12 to 1. Lady ChisweU closed at 40 to 1, backed from as high as tiO to 1, and Elfin King held his own at 7 to 1 at all Btac >a of the betting. The start was good and Nun's Veil- Ing set a fast puce, with B !asick sec ond and Mary Glenn third. They turned in this order into the stretch. A black horse was seen coming fast with the boy plying his gad nnd the crowd yelled, "Search Me," as the pink and green colors How onward. In a masterly finish Booker managed to get the Bonsack horse home first by a neck from Lady Chiswell, which ilnlshed like a shot on the outside. Elfin King tired badly the lasl twen ty feet and just did save show Crom Mary Glenn. Seasick quit when the pinch came. Bonnie Reg can do better. The real dump of the dry was the sixth race, where the odds on favorite, Varieties, finished .bsolutely last. The race went to Uncle Henry, :i i; to 1 shot, which just did get up in time to beat Revolt by a l~ ad. The Roustabout made the early pace until the paddock gate, then stopped and was ridden out to stall off Josle Jewel's determined challenge for third. Varieties had no excuse and McDan iels was riding him hard all th« way. rhil Igoe was bid to $M oby J. i:. Dunn and retained by his trainer, it. 1. Miller, after winning the second race. Igoe was in to be sold for $400. Selections for Today An exceptionally ri""lr i ""l card has been provided by Secretary Boden for ihis afternoon with the Ascot Oaks the Btar attraction.

Did Not Try to Press Old-Time Idol Too Hard The passing of Kid L,avlßnc, once the greatest of prize ling idols, was re corded for good and all when a referee stopped the battle between Lavlgne and Young Erne rccontly. An account of the bout written by an eastern sporting writer shows only too forcibly the fate of a man that If down and out. Kid Lavlgne was great once, but the crowd hooted him, and Erne sent him to defeat. Following Is a resume of the flght: It was really a sight to see the once greal Kid Lavlgna a mere toy in tho hands of Erne, one of tho younger boxers of today. Lavlgne waa stopped In the middle of the sixth round. Ten yean ago Lewlgna would have taken Erne and about five, others of his class and trimmed them as fast as they could be tossed Into n ring. To day Lav|gne Is but a shadow of hia former self ll' looked good, he had the light in him, but tho stamina Is gone. During the preliminary hours tho Kid sat In the back with his manager talk- Ing, when a boy brought in a telegram from his old-tlmo manager, Ham Fltz patrlck, "Good luck, Kid. You will win, sure," It read. The manager looked at tho wire and then al the Kid. "That's right," he sal !. "I think it's going to be a Joke." The Kid twinkled his small blue eyes and smiled. "Well, you Just watch me; that's all," said Lavigno as ho started for his dressing room. Lavigne Hopeful 80 the preliminaries were over nnd Kid Lavlgne, the old-time fighter, fol lowed by Willie Fitzgerald and Johnny LoftUS, entered the ring. He had 11 little cap, a black coat and trousers of the same color. He bowed to the cheer that went up. and his determined little face showed a smile. He looked to be tho same old-time fighter as he stood there bowing to old tlmo admirers who sat at the ringside. Erne followed Immediately and walked over to shake hands with the Kid. I.a vigne was much smaller than Erne and looked a featherweight, almost, as com pared with the long, rangy Erne. Uoth stripped and the record book dopesters yelled "Get your record book." Tho bell rang and Lavigne In reality was shaking hands with young Erne. They started, but the fleeting shadows of former days seemed to laugh now at tho feeble attempts of tho once great Lnvigne. He shook with nervousness. He swung widely over the head of the clever Erne. He rushed with his head down, but Erne had a block for every punch. In the gallery, where the bloodthirsty sit, there wore yells to Erne to "knock his bald block off," "Put the old stiff out. Erne," and such. What did thoy care for the old-time fighter? They wanted him killed on the spot. They wanted fight, but that had left tho system of Lavigne years ago. Erne simply played with the kid. Toward tho end of the round he clipped him on the ear and. the kid tottered toward the ropes, tho boll coming to his rescue as he straightened for more. He wanted to fight, ho thought he could, but he was sadly mistaken. Erne hit him when and wherever he pleased, and poor Lavigne, try as he would, was unable to land a clean punch. For three rounds he fought fairly well. Erno took It easy and then La vigne. tirod of his efforts, fell over on hia face as he missed a swing. "Go on. Erne, bat the old stiff on the Jaw," they yelled from upstairs. Erne Considerate Lavigne hoard nothing. He krptVush- Ing, but he could Imrely swing his arms, he was SO weak. Occasionally Erne shot one to the body, but Jack McOulgan, who was seconding him, kept yelling, "Don't hurt him; take your time." Erne was very consldornti?. He stood in the center of the ring and let the poor shadow Of the once groat fighter llng his arms about and try to fight. Lavigne was determined but harmless. Erne teased along in this maViner until the middle of the sixth round, when he clipped the kid on the jaw and sent him reeling to tho ropes. He was so far gone that Referee Crow hurst stopped It and led the reeling Lavigne to tho corner. Tho old-time fighter had run his race. As the manager said before the bat tle, "It was a Joke." Yos, It was a joko, but there was little to laugh at. When one thinks what Lavigno would have done when in hi.s prime the Joke seems to fade.

FOUR CLUBS WILL COMPRISE LEAGUE BASEBALL OUTLOOK APPEARS BRIGHT Manager Berry and Frank Chance Working In Unison for Devel opment of the Angel Team Slowly Init surely the Los Angolos Baseball association Is gaining a strong underfootlng In preparation for tho coming diamond senson. Manng.>r Herry will practically control the club and Is working tooth and nail to effect I substantial basis for what should bo tho most successful period of baseball In Southern Cnltfornln. Hysleilc.il movements which charac terized tin- MTthqtlske tlmo have glvm way in b determination which bodes well for the diamond fiend. I'romlses are made that nothing short of a first class team win be placed upon tho field to represent Los Angeles, and from ail that can be gleaned the remaining clubs will do likewise-. San FranclSCO Is building a $40,ii00 park which will rank with major league grounds in point of beauty and Vantage. That Frank Chance, captain of the Chicago Cubs, was desirous of becom ing connected with the Angel team has been known to his friends for some time, and the great captain-manager is new planning With Herry for Los An gelei baseball success. Chance nnd the Angel manager have been Intimate for years and Los An geles should reap by the connections. Windy City players reserved may find their way westward should necessity become manifest. Herry said last night that he was all but certain that four clubs could con stitute the Pacific Coast league, namely, Portland, San Frnnelsco, Oak land and Los Angeles. Le&gUe directors have been unable to figure where Fresno, Sacramento or San Jose would be useful, and undoubtedly a four-club circuit will be in order. Considerable discussion has arisen re garding the Pacific Coast presidency now that Rert is out. Jud McCreedie, vice president of the league, will prob ably act in the capacity of president for some time to come, and no change is anticipated for the immediate future. Manager Berry is considering the ap plication of W. C. Clark, a catcher from one of the eastern leagues, who is anxious to play In California. Clark is negotiating for his release and may be given a berth if awarded a free lance. Coming of the New York Giants is bound to stimulate enthusiasm "Muggsy" McGraw is much impressed with Southern California as a training place and is anxiously awaiting the time of the Giants arrival.

Youth Who~Work« Hard at School Endangers Health by Seden tary Habits Sprclnl tO Tho Herald. NKW TOUK, Feb. I.— The suhject of loiiKevlty aiming athletes and other college students has been Invent lgatt'd seriously by William (1. Anderson, di rector of the Yale gymnasium, and he has come to tho conclusion that the ad vnntnge Is with the athletes. Hut whether this Is due to the man's orl- Kinnl strength or to his development as an athlete, he says, there is nothing to prove. Discussing the subject In the Yale Alumni Weekly, he writes: "Is the college athlete a sounder man In after years and a man of longer life thnn his nonathlotlc brother? Statis tics prove beyond a doubt that t^ie man in college or out of it is better for con sistent exercise of some sort. Rut It is not so certain that the man whose en thusiasm for and proficiency In some sport brings him to the highest recog nition in his college is correspondingly benefited. "A great many people claim that the highly developed athlete has more mus cle and more lung power than he can use when he graduates and takes up his long apprenticeship in some se dentry occupation. If he Is not careful the very power of lung and heart which made him a force in the long four-mile pull, If he be a crew man, becomes a. danger, because there Is no call In his every day life for the abnormal devel opment he acquired in college. If he does not keep up some pretty vigorous exercise outside of office hours the lung tissue developed in his college life falls Into disuse and may be tho indirect cause of consumption, or the heart, forced to do overwork In the strain of the competition in the big sports and overdeveloped, may retaliate In after life by refusing to do Its work In some great stress, like pneumonia, for in stance. Conclusions Valueless "So claim the opponents of high ath letics. But frequently conclusions of this sort are drawn from individual cases and are of no value. "Records prove that the highly de veloped athlete, in spite of tho many notable exceptions which may be quot ed, lives longer than his nonathletic college mate. "The figures on longevity of V m?n for the last fifty-live years are highly Interesting and are a pointer to the value of specialized athletics. The rec ord covers the loves of 807 athletes in tho four major sports, beginning with the crew in 1555, and taking up football, track and baseball as those games came to have a place in the college calendar of outdoor sports. "The attention is at once arrested by the fact that among the 807 athletes who won the distinction of a V, only fifty-eight deaths have occurred In the last half century. When the average Of years in the life of the sport is struck it is found that the mortality was greater among football men. Crew men were second, track men were third and baseball men fourth, with .111 extremely low average. Yale athletes show remarkable longevity compared with the select mortality tables of the actuarial society. "Judging from the investigations, it is reasonable to say that there is no un due strain put on the athletes while they are In training, and their later his tory seems to show they were benefited rather than harmed. Less Tuberculosis "Consumption was responsible fo> twelve of the fifty-eight deaths, but in thi! case of athletes the percentage of men dying from this cause was not greater thnn the expected deaths among nonathletes from a similar cause. Arthur Hunter of New York, a high actuary authority, says that a comparison of the causes of death among athletes and 'mutucils' insured before 45 years of age does not develop any irregularities in the. distribution of deaths. Tho proportion of deaths among athletes from tuberculosis was found to be 22 per cent to the thousand, and 'mutuals,' Insured below 45 years, 24 per cent. "Deaths from heart disease In the Yale list Of tifty-t'ight men were four at the ages Of 35, 57, 6S and 70. The average is very low. Pneumonia car ried off six, typhoid five and typhoid pneumonia two. Those who wish to push their argument that high athle tic* are hud for the lungs and heart might find .some ground for that argu ment in the fact that twenty-four of the fifty-eight deaths were caused liy lung trouble of various kinds and heart failure, The table of deaths further shows that nine of the fifty-eight ath letes mot violent deaths of which two were suicides. One die, l of dissipation, which was not traceable, to participa tion In athletics. "The inevitable conclusion from the figures gathered is that the Yale man who conies to high honors in the ma jority of sports In the last half century has more than the Ordinary man's share of long life. Hut whether this is due to nis hIVh development M an athlete or to the original strength of the man himself is still unproven and seems likely to remain .so unless some more perfect means of comparison can be found/ THIS I vi iltllM.
