TO PLAY GAME
ON U.S.C. FIELD
FOOTBALL MANAGERS AGREE
TO CHANGE
GIVES OCCIDENTAL CHANCE FOR
1909 HOME EVENTS
Contest Expected to Develop Into One
of the Hardest Fought In South.
em California League
This Year
The game ' ween U. S. C. and Oc
cidental, which was scheduled for the
Occidental gridiron next Saturday, has
been changed to the U. S. C. field in
stead. This was agreed to by Man
agers Clay and Goodell, for the reason
that Occidental has all her games on
the home field, according to schedule,
this year, and this would give the
Presbyterians no games on their field
at all next year. This will make the
third year that U. B. C. has missed
playing on the Occidental field, the last
time the Methodists met Occidental at
home being in 1906. _■ '■'* ;
Tho contest probably "ill be the
hardest fought so far in Southern Cali
fornia this year, for both schools have
been figuring on capturing it. Al
though the Presbyterians beat the
Quakers more decisively than did the
Methodists, that will have little bear
ing on the probable result of the game
Saturday, for neither team was worked
up to the heat of battle that will pre
dominate In next Saturday's game.
Much Rivalry Exists
The game will be the biggest con
ference game thus far this season, for
although Whlttler has met Pomona, l*.
S. C. and Occidental, there is not such
a spirit of rivalry existing between the
Quakers and the other schools as there
is between the remainder of the con
ference colleges.
Pomona and Occidental have always
"counted more on their game than any
other game of the year, while L". S. C,
within the last few years, has banked
on the Occidental game more than any
other.
Whlttier being pi new member of the
conference has not as yet found any one
particular college which It can call
its greatest rival, but judging from
the scores of the last two years, when
Occidental only was able to beat them
by ten points in football, Whittier
seems to have taken a particular liking
to walloping the Presbyterians.
No definite arrangements have yet
been made for the referee and umpire.
CLASSY, CAR IS THE
NEW KISSEL SIX
Owner Drives New Roadster to His
Home in Santa Maria—Car Shows
Speed of Sixty.five Miles
Per Hour
' This morning at daylight Dean Mc-
Laughlin left for Santa Maria in the
first six-cylinder Kissel Kar that came
to the coast.
, The car is a very classy roadster
type, done In gray with black fenders
and a huge copper gasoline tank be
hind the seats. The body design was
made according to orders from Mr.
McLaughlin and reflects credit both on
the designer and the factory where
the ideas were carried out.
While In town the owner of the "six"
placed an order for a four-cylinder Kis
sel forty in the touring type, which
will be shipped soon from the fac
tory.
Mr. McLaughlin expects to arrive in
Santa Maria tonight by taking it easy.
The car will do 65 miles an hour
easily where the roads permit, but it
will be impossible to begin to use the
speed on account of the large per
centage of miserable roads between
Los Angeles and Santa Maria, y

WINNER OF DAY AND NIGHT
RACE RETURNS TO FRISCO
Murray Paige, Who Drove the Loco
mobile to Victory, Stayed at Wheel
of Car Twenty.one Out of the
Twenty.four Hours
Murray Paige, who drove such a fine
race with the Locomobile at Ascot
park a few days ago, left for Spin
Francisco last evening on the Owl. He
came down especially to drive for Mr.
Leavltt and the tatter's choice was
proved good by the winning of the
$1000 diamond trophy.
The car was not let out to its great
est speed at any time, and as Paige
was at the wheel for twenty-one out
of the twenty-four hours the credit
of the victory should be given him.
He always regained whatever lead
the other cars obtained while the Lo
comobile was taking on oil and fuel and
then held it with just a safe margin.
By driving so consistently he always
had his car in the prime of condition,
and when the finishing time came
the big roadster was running as nicely
as when it went on the track. The
only stops that were made by Paige
were for fuel, oil or change of tires.

More than 200 members of the Los
Angeles Athletic club enjoyed an elab
orate moving picture show Tuesday
night, the picture being thrown upon
a screen which had been placed upon
the building opposite the club on Spring
street. The spacious parlors of the
Athletic club were packed to the doors
with members and the lights were
turned out so that the boys could en-
Joy the pictures. In addition to the lat
est returns of the election which were
given the club from a private telegraph
wire which had been put in, many pic
tures of the best handball players of
the club were shown, among them be
ing W. P. Henderson, John Nest, M.
A. Copps, Pete Horsch and F. J. Witt.
Spring street in front of the club was
packed with thousands of people, who
proved with occasional cheers and
handclapplngs that they thoroughly en
joyed the club's entertainment. One
picture particularly that was thrown
upon the screen caused the members to
cheer vociferously. It showed Hender
son and Nest, two popular men of the
club, stripped tor action. An introduc
tory line which was shown with the
picture Informed the crowd that the
boys were "Bryan and Taft when they
were young."
The dubs' handball tournament la
still unfinished, and the chances are
that it will not be completed until
sometime around Thanksgiving, as
Jack Bradner yesterday left for San
Francisco, where he will remain for tit
least ten days. Witt had the tourna
ment all but won until Bradner tied
him for first place, when he defeated
Witt by the score of 21 to 4. The stand
ing of the players is as follows:
Dubs— Points read. Won Lost. Pot.
Ji hr.nycake Kra.ii, .. 11 2 0 . 1.000
Nightmare Witt 21 2 1 .567
Hippy Nest 21 1 1 .600
Fuzzy Henderson 21 1 - .250
Cheese Welton 15 0 2 ."Oil
It 'is probable that the members of
the club who compose the committee
for the crlbbage tournament will get
together today or tomorrow and set a
definite time, limit for the tournament.
Although the tournament was supposed
to have been completed Saturday night,
many of the members who are entered
in the tournament asserted that they
would be unable to play any games un
til a later date. *
The members of the Marathon asso
ciation of the club are getting up a
circular letter which will be sent
broadcast throughout the state to all
athletes who are likely to participate
in the next Marathon race, which will
be held during the forenoon of New
Year's day.
GOSSIP OF THE DIAMOND
THE seemingly invincible colored
Giants will play the San Bernar
dino ball team n_?xt Sunday after
noon at 2:30 o'clock on the Joy park
diamond. No side bet has been ar
ranged, but in all probability a money
consideration of some nature will be
made.

The Majestic and the Cubs played
out their third series on the Praeger
tract yesterday, the Majesties winning
by the score of 5 to 2. Two of the best
twlrlers that Coach Brewer has on his
staff opposed each other are George
Carlisle and Brooks Tompkins and al
though Tompkins lost the game and at
the same time fell down a notch in the
percentage column, from a perfect per
centage, his club still Is tied with the
Majestic aggregation for first position
with a per cent of .677. Tompkins was
pip, best pitcher of the two and struck
out sixteen men, while Carlisle fanned
seven. The Cubs played a poor game
and many errors were chalked up to
them. The feature of the game was the
playing of Shortstop Terry, who played
in big league form, getting seventeen
chances and accepting all. Plant, third
baseman for the Majesties, made a fine
running catch behind third base, run
over several "chicks" that were
scratching near where he caught the
ball. Harlowe, who played short lor
the winners, got a two-base hit and a
three-bagger out of four times at bat.
Coach Brewer, who umpired the game,
gave his decisions fairly and not one
kick was registered throughout the
entire game. In the pitching depart
ment, counting the three games played,
Ferry leads with thirty-seven strike
outs. Tompkins is second on the list
with thirty-three strikeouts to his
credit, while Shauber has one more to
his credit, and Carlisle is next with
seventeen and Sebastian Is low man
with eleven. _,■•__.«.

The directors of the Suburban league
held an interesting session in the Curry,
bpildlng last night, at which several
matters of of Importance were dis
cussed. The first matter to come be
fore the league was the protest be
tween Rendondo and San Gabriel
. made on the. grounds that San Ga
briel played J. Dear and his brother,
Parker, on his lineup, which was con
trary to the rules of the league. After
' several minutes of discussion, Manager
Roach of the Huntington Park club
made a motion, which was carried, to
allow Verdugo to revise his list. He
so arranged his players' list that, with
the permission of the board, he will be
1 allowed to carry fourteen players.
Huntington Park and Redondo will
play off a postponed game at the end
' of the series, while San Gabriel and
I Redondo also will play off a postponed
game, which will make fourteen weeks
of play Instead of twelve weeks, which
p originally was scheduled. The umpire

for some time, for the third time was
laid upon the table for further action.

Nobody connected with the turf en
joys the situation brought about by the
vote ln New York. It means that rac
ing on the metropolitan circuit is
doomed as long as Hughes Is in the
executive chair ln New York, and that
despite the game intentions of Phil
Dwyer and others connected with the
sport of kings in the east Hughes will
be the boss, and that racing cannot lie
conducted in the Empire State with
the privileges that usually attach to
the sport and which make racing a
sport that attracts crowds by the thou
sands. With tho sport reduced to that
plane upon which all races must he
run for the s.ike of the sport, the gen
eral public will stay away. Men who
have been paying $10,000 and up to
$50,000 for horses like DeMund, Horace
E., Montgomery, Uncle, Colin, Rose
ben and others, will cut out such In
vestments and seek other sources of
revenue. 'Yet, with the situation in
New York as critical as the. election
returns indicate, horsemen will con
tinue to hope and will keep on buying
racers at fancy prices because Califor
nia is still on the map. This means
only one thing— California this
minute is the only place In the world
were thoroughbreds are at par value.
All the good horses that now are in
traininp will be shipped to the coast
for the winter campaign, and none will
be reserved for the spring and summer
metropolitan campaign in New York—
as formerly. The result of the election
will mean that racing on the coast next
winter will be of a higher class than
ever before, and that horses will be
seen in action here during the winter
that never would have left winter
quarters had the result of the election
been different. Horses that a year ago
were worth $50,000, today are worth
about $10,000. and this value Is based
upon the probabilities of the horse win
ning one or more stakes on the coast.
In former days the value of a horse
was reckoned upon the probabilities of
his winning* stakes down east. If he
was well ncJminated he would bring a
decent price—a nearly unheard of price.
Now he Is worth what he will be valued
as a buggy horse, plus what he can
win on the coast In stakes dining the
winter season. Horses like DeMund,
that cost $45,000, and Horace E., that
cost $30,000, would bring less than 60
per cent of that amount today, because
their sphere of usefulness Is limited to
the coast. This means that California
is the only place In the world today
where thoroughbreds can he raced at
their par value, because only In i ill
fornia are stakes offered of sufficient
value to make it worth while to race
valuable horses. For this reason the
best class of racers will be seen on the
coast during the winter. Their value is
reckoned on their earning abilities, and
in figuring this value the owner must
think only of California—not of New-
York. California succeeds to the at-
PREPARATIONS MADE
FOR PHOENIX RACE
WHITE STEAMER TO HAVE TWO
CREWS
•
Latham, Hanshue and Bigelow Will
Send Tobasco 1 Through, While •
Elmore Will Be Handled by
Smith, Rose and Dake
Cars and crews are in trim for the .
long road automobile race that will
start for Phoenix Saturday at mid- !
night, and each team that will com
pete is confident that victory will be
theirs. '
Neither the Locomobile nor Franklin
would enter, as the twenty-four-hour
race consumed so much time that it
was thought Inadvisable at both agen
cies to make the Phoenix run.
The Kissel Kar, the White and the ,
Elmore will leave -morning at
intervals of one hour. The lint car
will leave the Hollenbeck at midnight,
and the others in turn as will be de
termined later.
This morning at 9 o'clock the three
men who have entered cars, Leon I.
Shettler, F. C. Fennel' and A. J. Smith,
will meet with Jonathan C. Mitchell
at the hitter's hotel and arrange the
details of the start.
Another cup has been offered and will
go to the car arriving in Phoenix sec
ond. It has been given by the Fire- i
man's Fund Insurance company.
None of the drivers will attempt to
stay at the wheel all of the distance,
and in the case of the White Steamer
there will be two crews. Captain H.
D Ryus and A. Forbes, who drove a
winning race to North Baldy, will
drive the car to Mecca, where they
1 will turn it over to F. C. Fenner and
George Adair. On the second team
Will fall the strenuous work, as they
will have the desert work to do, and
I the long, dreary stretch between
Mecca and F.hrenberg is where the j
I mettle of tho men and the cars will
be trie,! to the utmost, In one place
on the road is a sandy hill where cars
frequently have to be pulled down
I grade by a team.
Across th,- desert there are many
sandy washes that the cars will have
to plunge Into on one side and labor
iously climb out on the other, doing
all of the work in the low gear. One
hundred miles of the road is over a
territory where there is not a human
habitation a_*3 no excuse for one." Only
two places in that distance have any
water supply, and all that the ears
and men use between the two placea
will have to be carried by them.
A. J. Smith has selected George
Dake to assist him from Mecca to
Phoenix, while from Los Angeles to
Mecca, D. B. Rose will be at the
1 wheel for a part of the time, at least,
1 Shettler's crew will be Bert Latham
I and Roy Hanshue to Mecca, where they
will be joined by C. H. Bigelow, who
will be pilot and general manager un
i til the river Is reached at, Ehrenberg.
' Bigelow has had a great deal of dcs
; crt experience with a motor car and Is
! counted on to cover many of the dlf
! Acuities that usually are' found Insur
mountable by the novice in that class
of work.

tractiveness that the metropolitan
tracks formerly held for horsemen, and
the value of horseflesh has depreciated
accordingly. Stakes that in the east
were worth $15,000 and $20,800 to the
winner now are worth $11000 to $5000,
and the depreciation in value of horses
has scaled accordingly. Colin Is -..orth
$50,000 at least less than when the
Hart-Agnew bill was passed. Horses
that were wintered In luxury a year
ago must get out and earn their oats,
They cannot earn any $100,000 oats on
the coast. Hence the depreciation in
value. It is pi common sense calcula
tion. Yet the $50,000 horse of yesterday
will race next winter at Santa Anita In
the cheap stakes that today are the
high value affairs.
Dave Lewis Is a game sport and a
good loser. Being one of the boys, he
always is willing to take a chance, and
he took one and lost. Yet Dave did not
cry. He was as happy last night as
any of them, and he did not bet on a
horse race, either. He lost his money
and stood the financial test just like
any other good sport.
Roy Offutt and Early Wright, who
make up the totals of the firm of
Wright & Offut, have some tolerably
good Ideas regarding the results of
stake races during the winter at Santa
Anita. They are among the most lib
eral nominators for the coining meet
ing. and if Roy does not get back some
of that $50,000 that he dropped at Seat
tle it will be funny indeed. The bunch
will string with Roy If they can figure,
him before the race is run.
Jockey Kent is galloping horses at
Santa Anita every morning— for whom
It does not matter. Kent is one of the
good boys who will be seen in the sad
dle during the winter meeting, and he
will ride free lance, so the judges will
have plenty of opportunity to look over
his performances. By the way, with
the sport In such fearful condition as
it is now, the Judges will not be the
whole show in the future. There are

no one-sided matter from now on

Jockeys and horsemen have been

have done about as they pleased. But
with a non-partisan press and a most
Indifferent public, the judges will rank

1 else than In California, the judges In
future will 100ß like any other ordin
ary citizens. it will hp; a case not of
pp. survival of the fittest, but a case of
a fair trial and a square deal. Tom
Williams is not the supreme court of
California any more, and Judge Ham
ilton may be astounded by bavins some
of his " remarkable rulings appealed
from. Tho racing game usually is
about pis square on the ground as it is
in the judges' stand, and since Califor
nia Is to be the only place In future
where racing can be conducted along
the old-time lines. It behooves 1 even
such czars (of former days) as Tom
Williams to have some respect for the
property rights and character of those
who race under them. The changed
conditions brought about by the elec
tion In New York are apt to mako
some folks foolish, but the best thing
they can do is to ait still and listen to
the rumble.
Will Mehaffey, a young business man
of promise and a highly respected citi
zen of Los Angeles, especially In the
circles where he moved, died Monday
of that dread disease, the white plague,
and was burled ,yesterday. Mehaffey
was a native of Missouri and pi capable
young business man who,had the entire
confidence of those with whom he asso
ciated, He retired to Long Beach pi
jew months pig" and later went to Si
erra Madre, but no relief was apparent
In these changes,*and he slowly wasted
away. It was my pleasure to know
him in early boyhood, and since, and
any tribute that might bo paid him
would be wholly deserved. A widow
and pi son survive him, and the funeral
was conducted from the residence of
his parents on East Twenty-fourth
street yesterday afternoon.
Advices from New York are that
Jack Bennett and wife, Jimmy Mc-
Laughlin, James Villepigue and wife,
Charlie Smith,' Ed Cole and wife and
several others who will make up a
praty of New York tourists, mostly
identified with the racing game, will
leave the metropolis for Los Angeles
the night of November 10. Jimmy
Rowe, 'who trains for the James R.
Keene stable, probably will accompany
them, although he has not definitely
decided whether he.will winter on the
coast. Meantime many other New
York horsemen will head for the coast
within the next fortnight.

BATTLER HANDS
PACKEY A ROAST
SAYS M'FARLAND WANTS TO
FIGHT HIM
i
Encounter Takes Place in Office of J
New York Paper and Nelson
Gives Would.Be Oppo
nent His Views
NEW YORK, Nov. 4.—Battling Nel
son tonight, in an Interview for Los
Angeles Herald, said:
"This evening while at the Journal
office being Interviewed by Tad, Packey
McFarland happened in and made th,
big noise about willing to fight me, of
fering to do this, that, etc.
"I told him he was just looking for
free advertising, and, anyway, I was
too busy to talk fight, and that I was
paying Willis Britt to look after my
fighting business and to talk to him,
but for him to go and lick some one
first, for instance, Joe Gans, or Cyclone
Thompson, and show where he was
qualified to meet me as he hasn't got
a live one in his entire record.
"He then started to compare Galli
gan, Kid Goodman, Maurice Bayers
and Charlie Neary, and every nip,
wetn the limit.
"The only men he knocked out are
Benny Yanger, and Jimmy Britt, In
anger, was buried for about three
years, pugilistieally speaking, and poor
Jimmy never did anything after the
battings i gave him.
"Kid Herman he fought flteen rounds
to a no-declslon contest.
"Then he started to go over my rec
ord and find some dead ones, but only
a glance was necessary, us ajl my vic
tims were rather live.ones pit the time
I beat them, but failed to do any good
after.
"I will just mention a few of the men
I beat, and I didn't win decisions by
going the limit, but knocked them out
like pi real champion should.
"Here are a few of my knockout vic
tories: Art Simms, three rounds; Spi
der Welsh, sixteen rounds; Martin ,
Canon, eighteen rounds; Eddie Han
lon, nineteen; Young Corbett, twice, ten |
and nine rounds, respectively; Jimmy
Britt, eighteen; Jack Clifford, five, and j
Joe thins twice, seventeen and twenty
one rounds, respectively, winning the I
championship.
"Show me one single fighter In the
lot I had to go to the cemetery and din !
up hi-fore beating, can you? No, nut
yet, well, tire argument got rather
heated, as l showed McFarland that
when, he tried to compare records there
was no comparison at all.
"Pockey then offered to fight rue
any time or place for $5000, winner take
all, yes, and to go into a back room,
or in the Journal office right In the
building at once and I called his bluff,
and-ho quit cold and refused to carry
lt out pis I flashed my roll In under his
nose.
"Later we met at Bob Edgren's office
at the Evening World and hadi tho
same thing all over again. Finish,
almost midnight, McFarland groggy
sparring for wind—looking for a soft
spot, somewhat sorry he met me."

BARRY'S FORM
IS UNCERTAIN
FANS DO NOT KNOW WHERE
TO FIGURE HIM ji.',:
s _
BETTING 13 SLIGHT AS RESULT
OF THIS CONDITION
Fireman Has Established Reputation
for Gameness and for Putting Up
Speedy Scrap, bo Wagering
Is Slight Along Rialto
There is little betting along the
Rialto on the result of the ten-round
scrap tomorrow night between the two
Jims—Barry and Flynn. This Is not'
because the funs do not regard the
scrap pis one of Importance It Is be
cause they cannot figure out which of
ihe two big huskies has the better
chance In this scrap. They fought a
ten-round draw- In Colorado a few
weeks ago and each Is authority for
the statement that tin sheriff made it
Impossible for them to arrive at a
,i, Unite conclusion, Flynn is more
popular in Los Angeles than Barry,
but the big eastern kiddo lias pi better
reputation—despite that Sam Langford
has put him down for the full count a
collide of times.
However, Langford Is apt to put any
of them down any old time he hooks up
with them, and a fighter gets no more
discredit for losing to him , than a
featheweight is. discredited for losing
to Abe Attell. Langford Is some light
er and he usually puts them all out.
Bo his bout.i do mil count in form.
Any fighter who can whip Sam is a
wonder, but any fighter who cannot
whip him has a most reasonable ex
cuse. Nobody has been found yet who
can turn the trick.
Barry and Flynn are In prime condi
tion and while Barry will have a big
advantage In weight, he is accused of
being a bit shy on courage and Flynn
is long on this score. If there Is a
yellow streak in Barry, his opponent
will find it Friday night and Flynn.
evidently believes there is something
of the canary in the makeup of Barry,
as In- Is talking most confidently of
putting him away.
There' is just one happy thought in
connection with the match—it will bo
pi fight. If Barry is as clever and pis
speedy as he Is credited, he will whip
Flynn decisively within the ten-round
limit, as Flynn long since has ceased
to be a serious contender for the heavy
weight championship. But every fan
knows that Flynn will fan into Barry
like a setting hen and unless Barry has
the necessary courage in- will be up
against it good and strong. Several
fellows have whipped Flynn recently,
but in- is found fighting always to the
last notch.
There is olio certainty in figuring
out this scrap. Flynn will light from
tin- tap of the gong and Can take pun
ishment and keep on coming after
\ more until lie is put down and out.
Barry never has been forced to show
this courage here, but the fact that
Langford has put tin- big boy flown
for the count a couple of times and ill
ragtime at that, makes the supporters
of Flynn hope. Barry has pi . punch
like Buttling Johnson and he is clever
and speedier, so he should find a way
to put over the wallop that will win
.the coin—if In- has tip,- courage to
stand up and lake a chance.
It is because the fans are not sure
regarding tlie courage of Barry that
they are holding back their coin. If
Barry was as green aS Flynn there
would he nothing to It ami the fans
would flock to his support so strongly
thai betting would be out of the ques
tion. Both boys are in fine condition
ami they will fight. Flynn Is going to
set the pace and leave little time for
figuring just what he is going to do.
