THE HERALD'S SPORTING NEWS
FUTURE OF RACING IN SOUTH IS
DECIDEDLY UNCERTAIN, SAYS ROSE
PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDER IN LOCAL ASSOCIATION GOING TO
FRISCO TO INVESTIGATE CONDITIONS THERE
Asserts There Will Be No Attempt Made to Resume Sport Here
Before Next Winter and Adds That It May Not Be Tried Then
Unless He Finds Oral System Working Satisfactorily at
Emeryville as Regards Public Favor and Attendance.
May Experiment with Thirty-Day Meeting
One Year from Present Time
JAY DAVIDSON
ARRIVAL yesterday of George Rose, principal stockholder in
the Los Angeles Racing association, definitely settled all
doubts regarding any effort at opening Santa Anita park for a
race meeting before next winter, as he declared positively that no
such effort would be made before next Thanksgiving day. There is
no certainty at this time that racing ever will be resumed at Santa
Anita park, according to Rose, as all depends upon the success of
the meeting now in progress at Emeryville and the construction
which the courts may place upon the Walker-Otis bill and the man
ner in which oral betting is regarded by the courts in test cases that
have arisen or may arise later.
Rose says that he hopes the Emery
ville meeting, under the oral betting
system, will prove such a success that
lie and his associates will te justified
in trying the experiment - An
ita park next winter for a period of
probably thirty days. However, lie has
been operating at Juarez a!l winter, !
and is not informed fully regarding the '
(success of the system at Oakland. He |
is en his way to Ban Fran:i»co. and :
■will investigate thoroughly into condl- I
tions and see for himself just how the I
patrons of the sport are regarding the i
new order of things. Then he will be
In a position to make positive an
nouncement as to plans for next winter j
tor a meeting at Santa Anita.
"We hope that the patronage at Em- <
eryville is proving sufficient under Hie
new order of things to Justify us in |
trying tho experiment here next win
ter," lie said last night. "If the season
at Emeryville shows that the attend- j
ance is sufficient to pay the running j
expenses Of the meeting, or even close
to it, we will take a ohani c for thirty :
days next winter at Santa Anita park
to test the system here. The stock
holders are so anxious to keep the sport
going that they would not object to
running a short meeting even at a loss
if in doing so the sport would be re
established here. In making the ex
perimental test we understand thor
oughly that the patrons of the sport in
the past are not acquainted with the
workings of the new system, as a rule,
and that it is impossible to predict ac
i urately just how they will accept the
new order. However, if the attend
ance should prove sufficient to pay the
running expenses, or within $10,000 or
JiO.WJO of it, we would regard the ex
periment as a success and look to the
future with much confidence."
Praises Juarez Management
Rose is profuse in praise of the man
agement of the Juarez meeting, and
expresses little doubt of the ultimate
success of the efforts of Messrs. Winn,
Follansbee, Terrazao and their associ
ates to establish racing upon a. perma
nent basis in Mexico. He says that the
attendance at the races will average
l'rom 1000 to 1500 persons daily, and
that it is increasing in a manner that
indicates better things for the future.
"The plant at Juarez is modern in
every particular, and is one of the
handsomest west of New York. The
management is planning tn spend an

THERE will be an important meet

President Perkins has decided to

Mott Larkey, second baseman of the

the Los Angeles high school team, is
rounding the hilltop players into con
dition for the interacholastlc series
which will open shortly.
Tommy Ybarrando, the fast little St.

The Manchester team has broke its
hoodoo. Last Sunday it defeated tho
railroaders and never gave the Espee
men a free pass.
Treasurer Ash, also manager, of tha
Modern Woodmen team, is thinking of
challenging tho Japanese ball club the
first off Sunday in his schedule.
Roy Myers, pitcher for the University
Merchants, and Ybarrando make two
of the best amateur mound artists in
the City league. These boys have shown
wonderful improvement during the last
few years and will bear watohing.
It is rumored that Manager Phillip
Hartenatein of the Wieland team has

he will finish among the topnotchers
during the present series. Keep the
good work up, Hartenstein.
The Yeomen entertainment and dan<r,
which was given this week for the
benefit of the baseball team, brought in
a large sum which will go to purchas

known as the Southern Pacifies.
There Is some talk already of reor
ganizingl the City League, and in all
probability the. next series will be
played with ten clubs.

Catcher Duncan will take a short va-
enormous amount of money in the next

withstanding the adverse weather con
ditions there this winter, which the na
■ tell me is the most severe winter
i in many years, the management lias
| gone ahead with racing and will run
: out its allotment of days, with a prob
j able exti nslon in March.
Weather Was Unbearable
"The weather was unbearable for a
1 few days last month, and racing was
called off during the most severe peri
-1 od. Snow and ice and cutting winds
! made it unwise to attempt to race, ami
I horsemen were afraid to risk their
! horse? upon the frozen track. All of
' us stayed indoors most of the time, but
I this blizzard lasted only a few days,
j and everything became lovely again
! when it passed. Racing was resumed,
and it has been of improved order
i since. The track also was benefited,
as the improved going and the remark- i
ably fast time made there last week I
proves. It is one of the fastest tracks
on the continent.
"Juarez is ideally located at the gate
way to the southwest, and if weather j
conditions do not interfere next winter
the sport will be much improved over
that of this year. With the sport es
tablished and horsemen imbued with
confidence that the season will be com
pleted as announcel, I expect to see
many more eastern horsemen racing
there next winter than is now the case,
and with them will come horses of the
best class. The men who are backing
the enterprise .with their money are
good game sportsmen, and deserve the
success which I feel assured will be
theirs in the future."
Rose Is accompanied by Mrs. Rose,

whether he will get into the oral bet
ting game up there, but will do so if it
looks good to him. His principal mis

there and decide therefrom whether it

Texas (ity. White, speaking of the fu- i
ture plans of the team last evening;,
said: "We will claim the western col

against all coiners. The Occidentals
have no claim to this title because, '
when they defeated the Los Angel* c
Giants and claimed the honor, they
were playing three white men in their
lineup.'' Here is an opportunity for a

NEW SUBDIVISION STREETS
MUST CONFORM WITH OLD
Council Takes Action Looking to
Regular Lines of City Tho.
roughfares
The streets end alley* of all new
subdivisions must conform to the
streets and alleys of existing subdi
visions before they will be accepted by
the council. This policy was adopted
by the council yesterday and it means
tliat there, will be no more jogs in
streets. The city attorney was in
structed to prepare an ordinance mak
ing tiiis policy of the council a law. •
The matter was brought to the atten
tion of the council when the city en
gineer presented two maps Of subdi
visions for the council to approve.
Councilman Washburn was under the
impression that there was an ordinance
in effect compelling all new streets to
conform to existing lines and was
much surprised when told by Deputy
Wilson that such was not the case.
.1. \V. Johnson, assistant city engi
neer, told the council that the engi
neer's department tried 'to have the
streets conform in every case where
4t was possible before the maps were
approved by the engineering depart
ment, but said Mr. Johnson:
"We have found that when we bear
down too hard on tract subdividers
they record their own streets as private
rights of way and the council has no
Jurisdiction over the matter at all."
Councilman Plant said the city could
force these subdividers to come to time
by refusing to lay water mains, sewers
aiid other necessary utilities in any
thing but public streets or "alleys, and
Deputy Wilson declared this could be
legally done. He was instructed to in
clude this provision in the ordinance.
Mr. Johnson objected that it was the
man who purchased the. lot from the
subdivide!- who would be the loser, as
he would not know that the street was
not a public street.
"It's his business to know," said
President Works, sternly. "This coun

the benefit of private property owners.

UTILITIES ORDINANCE
HAS SLIGHT DEFECT
Commission Suggests that Council
Remedy Trouble in Regard to
Time for Making Report
The practical working of the public
utilities ordinance adopted by the peo
ple at the last general election is prov
ing the ordinance deficient in the time
limit fixed foi- reports of the public
utilities commission, but this can easily
be remedied if the council adopts the
suggestion the utilities commission
made yesterday.
The ordinance gives the commission
ten days in which to report on appli
cation! for franchise*, or such further
time as may be granted by the council.
The commission suggests that in fu
ture, when franchises are referred for
consideration, the council then allow
thirty days' time for the commission
to make its investigation.
Because of this limited time the com
mission had to ask time extensions -yes
terday on several franchises that have
been referred to it. It declared that it
considered the policy of selling fran
chises for *100, irrespective of their
value, that had been followed by pre
vious councils, as ill advised, and the
council thought so tod.
This commission was given more
work to do and thirty days in which to
do it when the ordinance granting rail
way franchises on Alpine, between
Buena Vista and San Fernando, and on
Melrosc, from Heliotrope drive to Nor
mandie avenue, which had been vel 1
by the mayor, were referred to it for
further investigation.

APPOINTMENTS TO PARK
COMMISSION CONFIRMED
Members of Council Pleased with
Mayor Alexander's Choices for
Important Board
Ths appointments of C. D. Silent, H.
W. O'Melveny and J. B. Lippincott to
the park eommtoßion were confirmed
by the council yesterday, and individ
ual members of the council expreiied
the belief that thu mayor had made
most happy choices for this important
board.
Judge Silent, who is one of the fore
lnont lawyers of Los Angeles, is deep
ly interested in the work of the parks.
He has a private park of his own that
he is transforming- into one of the
■how places of Southern California.
This park is in the San Gabriel valley
near Qlendora, and its fame has al
ready spread throughout the country.
ll.'w. O'Melveny, an equally promi
nent member of the Los Angeles bar,
is an amateur floriculturist who has
studied this subject so thoroughly that
there are few professionals who can
give him many pointers.
J. B. Lippincott is an authority on
water, and it is expected the parks*
will be provided with Owens river wa
ter through his intiuence. While the
subject of his confirmation was under
idiscussion Councilman Plant asked if
it was legal lor Mr. Lippincott to
serve on the park commission and as
assistant engineer of the aqueduct at
the same time. Emmet Wilson, chief
deputy city attorney, advised Mr. Plant
there was no legal objection to it.
