Search Me Wins the Fifth Race
at Long Odds — Other
Events
Favorites and outsiders divided tn
card at Ascot yesterday nfternoon and
a large crowd was present to WllllMa
exciting sport, us in five of the race*
the finishes were very close.
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.

ant! 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.

ATHLETICS DO NOT
ASSURE LONG LIFE
Relaxation frqm Exercise Harmful.
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/
