6 THE HERALD'S SPORTING NEWS PICATO AND MEMSIC RULE EVEN CHOICES IN OPENING BETTING CONSERVATIVE FANS REFUSE TO MAKE EITHER FAVORITE FOR FRIDAY NIGHT BATTLE Many Believe Weight Arrangement Favors Knockout Specialist and Expect Him to Show Improved Form Over Previous Scraps with Bohemian—He Says He Does Not Care to Win by Knockout and Will Be Content to Fight Carefully and Win Decisive Verdict on Points at End of Mill. Both Close to Poundage and in Fit Condition JAY DAVIDSON fcTOTWITHSTANDING tin- great form shown by George Mem l\ sic in his fight a few weeks a^o with Ad Wolgast and the fact i-1 that he has returned to his old-time form, the early betting upon the result of his scrap next Friday night with Frank l'icato .-hows the boys at even-money-take-your-choice. I Ins is the estima tion of the betting fans as to the relative abilities of the two great! lightweight boxer's, and while it is a bit surprising that MemSK does not rule even a slight favorite in the betlmg, one finds the explana tion in the great record made by l'icato in the ring and the arnhige ment of weights, which is to his advantage to.some extent. Ihe ma jority of fans are of the opinion that Memsic will win, but those who back" their judgment with cash are more conservative and have hit upon the no-favorite odds as most fair under present conditions. j Two large bets were made this v> and both were placed with the bet ting commissioners at even money. | Visitors to the training camps are im- , pressed with the condition of both boys and the energetic and earnest manner in which they are training. Picato seems to be a bit larger and probably will be nearer the 135-pound mark at weighing-in time than Mem sii, as he naturally is heavier than the Bohemian, and this fact, consid ered with his famous punch, has won him quite a large fol" Wing among the fans, which accounts for the plentiful supply of Picato money that prevents Memsic being made favorite. Picato entertained quite a large crowd yesterday at Doyle's Southside club, where he is training, ami was SO strong and full of tight in his box ing bouts that his session with Joe Rivers, scheduled at six rounds, was cut short, Picato showing too much speed and viciousness in his Jabbing and punching. After the day's work was finished he stepped on the Si and tipped the beam at 188% pounds. I.ut says that he is a pound lighter, stating that the scales are a pound ■ .hi "f the way. He appears to be In (it condition to go in the ring on short Dbtlce and put up his old-time speedy battle. Picato says that he will fight a care ful battle this time and try to redeem himself for his recent poor showings. He does not talk of a knockout vic tory, but candidly speaks about win ning on points. He says that he has never seen Metnttc put to the mat and does not know whether the Bohemian be put there, but he hopes to out point Memsic for the decision, and do it in a decisive manner. Memsic also had a large crowd of admirers at his camp and gave them | RANGERS DEFEAT RIVERSIDE TEAM EXILES OUTPLAYED AT ALL STAGES LOCALS SHOW BIG IMPROVEMENT IN TEAM WORK Visitors Had Beaten Los Angeles Soc. eer Players at Previous Meet. ing and Form Reversal Was Surprising Contrary to expectations, yesterday's . soccer match at Fiesta park between j the Exiles of. Riverside and the local ] Kangers resulted in a victory for the ! local players. As the visitors viously had defeated the Rangers and the Victorias, they were picked to win yesterday's contest, and the win of 10 to 1 by the locals came in the form of a surprise. From the start the Rangers attacked | and were soon around Williams, the Riverside goalkeeper, and Archie Mitchell put the ball through for a goal in the first ten minutes of play. The Exiles, taking a brace, carried the to the Rangers' end of the field, but the lleds soon carried the play bark Into the visitors' territory, and Mitchell scored the second goal. At this stage of the game Leigh, Hazell and W. Dudley of the ExiW-s were playing a strong gamo, but the team work of the Rangers was irre sistible, and Mitchell waa put through for three more goals before the half rinsed. With tne opening? of the second half the visitors went into the game with more vim and, although outplayed, they made things more interesting. The Rangers scored two more goals, however, which were put through by Welfare and Lincoln. On a fine com bination play, W. Dudley scored the only goal for Riverside. To the al ready overwhelming score of the home team, A. Mitchell added two more i^oals, and Lincoln made It ten goals in all. The teams: Riverside Kxiles—Williams, Leigh, Holmes, Hazell, Barnes, Mills. A. Dudley, Jones, W. Dudley, Leslie and ]]|O. Hungers —Sanderson, Smith, Shnnd, M'-Morrow, C. Burleigh, P. Mpldrum.

"I have a hat, to be sure, but how si.all I ever get it "trimmed in time for the party tomor row?" she moaned. That night Jack planted his. magic .bean at one corner of the hat. and by i morning, such was the growth of the vegetable, the confection was trimmed in the latest style. "Oh, oh!" cried the princess In ecstasy. ,- As for; the wicked giant who had been paying her attentions, he was : practically bowled over. 'Wouldn't that kin you!", lie exclaimed; and from that day forth Jack was known us the giant-killer.— a good time. Jle is so iuu 01 s"«" that he puts a lot of action in his boxing bouts, which sends his friend! away IB an enthusiastic frame of mind. Memsic is as confident of stop-, ping l'icato as that he wtU win the bout, and makes no bonea of saying so. He lias every confidence in his wallop and believe! he is cleverer than | Picato, X) that he does not fear the result In the least. He will go in and try to knock all ambition to become a champion out of Picato in the early rounds, and he says that his wind is so nod now that ho can so ten or twenty rounds at full clip without tak ing a long breath. He assuredly looks ,lust as good as he claims. In fact, he has not ap d to be in such excellent health and condition, nor scf speedy and ef- Ive In punching ability since he began to backslide two years ago. He is a bear for work, but does not overdo I the job, hence his good condition and the ginger he shows in his workouts. He boxed six fast rounds with Chick Duffy, and then went two rough-house round! With Kid Parker, to the delight of tho^e who attended the workout. He is down to 137 pounds, making weight With great ease, and no longer gives any heed to this detail. Jim Flynn also is down to real work now, and went «n a 40-mlnute work out yesterday at Doyle's Hub.

LITTLE MISCHICr WINS TWO RACES TAKES LEAD IN EVENTS FOR DORY BOATS RIVALRY BETWEEN FOLSOM AND WOOD INTENSIFIES Second Series Now Stands Three to One in Favor of Winner and Contest Increase* Materially [Special to Th« Herald.] SAN PEDRO, Jan. 23.— Walter Fol . in Mischief 11, won both of the dory races today, which gives him three in the second series to one for Warren Wood, owner of the Merrily. Wind won the first series over the Poison). The first leg of the course in the first race today promised some good spurt, but in none of the remaining were there any close races. The course was around two (lags, close inside the breakwater, thence around the bell buoy to the starting flag. The Merrily may have been fouled in crossing the line at 1:10 by Mischief 11, but, other wise, tin- start was a good one. On the last tack, with a light breeze from the southward, the Merrily, Mischief T! and Joe Fellows' Chill Pepper were closely bunched, but the Merrily led in rounding the flag at 1:35:32. The Mis chief waa next at 1:35:34. The time of the Chili Pepper was 1:36:24, but the Kitty was so far behind that her time wbm not taken. Both the Chili Pepper and Mischief II lost a little more to the Merrily on the second leg, the time being 1:41:29 for the Merrily, 1:41:50 for the Mischief II and 1:43:15 for the Chili Pepper when the flag was rounded. Here the race ended for a time, for there was not wind enough to more than throw the mainsail around on the turn and, later, a dead calm left the dories drift ing. When the breeze freshened, the Mis chief was ahead and went around the bell bouy at 2:46:12. The Merrily fol lowed at 2:lt:ir, and the Chili Pepper at 2:19:45. In the meantime the Kitty had caught a breeze, while the others were drifting and rounded the bouy at 2:28:20.

LOS ANGELES HERALD: MONDAY MORNING, JANUARY 24, 1910. R IALTO GOSSIP CHARLIE ETTON appears in tho new role of promoter and adds to , his popularity by bringing the world's great marathon runners to Los Angeles. Marathon races had quite a long run down east for nearly a year before it subsided, and now the scene of these long-distance contests has moved to the other side of the' conti nent. in bringing the world champion and his most formidable rival to Los Angeles, Eyton has not overtißured the financial affairs of the enterprise, as the desire to see the great Frenchman and his rival in action assure that he will lose nothing by the venture. Marathon ravins is one of the clean, high-class types of sport, and the fact that it hits not been overdone In the west makes it probable that it will have an extended and profitable sea son here. Eyton will have St. Yves. Dorando, Hayes, .Marsh. Connolly and all the famous runners here before the middle of the good old summer time, and his enterprise is worthy of sub stantial reward in the nature of S. R. O. attendance. May it be so. This is the day when his majesty. Battling Kelson, must make definite reply to the proposal nf Uncle Ton Yu i arey to cone lure and make 112. --808 by defending hi* titl" against the claims of Ad Wolgaat. Unless he comes through with a final yes before night fall, this particular scrap will be dis carded in favor of the Webster-Attell championship fight. Nelson is at Hot Springs and has been nsked to lick another dub or two before starting for the foast. If he makes no further matches he will start for Los Angeles today on his way to 'Frisco. Announcement is made that the Cal ifornia derby will be run Washington's birthday at Emeryville. The crop of 3-year-olds available for this event this y^ar is not as large nor as classy by a whole lot as that Which has fur nished the field In the past, but with I'oppertown. Miles, Napa Nick and half a dozen others of about equal class there should be a good race. This is one of the Emeryville fixtures that was not permitted to lapse and the enterprise of Tom Williams in keeping it alive is commendable. Coast league magnates will meet in Frisco today to settle the preliminaries of arranging the playing schedule for next season and transact a lot of other business of Importance. The local clubs will be represented by a full del egation and while it looks like Hen Berry had run into a frameup against his plans for ousting Danny Long from the league secretaryship, no one need be surprised If the little dimpled darling pulls off a coup and wins where it looks like defeat. At any rate he has thrown a scare into Long that will be of some benefit. The sched ule will not be made public for sev eral weeks yet, but Los Angeles fans are not so much Interested as former ly, before the days of continuous base ball. Walter Folsom will wear his old time happy smile today since win ning both dory- races yesterday with his Little Mischief. He now leads In the race for the honors of the second series, and as the rivalry between him self and Capt. Wood, owner of the Merrily, is very keen, he is doubly happy and contented.

One thing absolutely sure is the fact that tho fight will not be held there if Governor Spry stands pat on his recent declaration, which ha undoubtedly will do. The attendance at the big fight will suffer materially unless those interested get together and settle the squabble over the lo cation In a hurry. Jeffries shows at Ogden tonight and leaves Immediately afterwards \yjth his party for Seattle and other north western points. The big fellow at tracted as much attention and created as much excitement in the Mormon capital as a circus might be expected to do. The difference between his re ception and that accorded Johnson when the negro recently visited that slty Is most noticeable.

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.—Jack Johnson, the negro champion pugilist, delivered a lecture on manliness at the colored men's branch of the Y. M. C. A. today. Sobriety, application and again sobri ety, he said, are cardinal requisites for success In life, with devotion 'to one's aged mother a close fourth. Johnson told of his early struggles and obscurity. Then he launched into the pith of his discourse. .*"To approach Intelligently _ the psy chology of pugilism," he said, "it is M sential to grasp the distinction be tween the venal side and that side that makes for the upbuilding of man liness.

YVES, CONQUEROR OF DORANDO, LONGBOAT AND HAVES, TO RACE MARSH NEXT MONTH Charlie Eyton Signs Up Great Frenchman and Canadian Champ for Match to Be Run in Los Angeles First or Second Week in Feb ruary—Runners Coming South This Week to Begin Training—Other Cracks Now in Frisco May Be Entered in Next Few Days—This Event Is Only a Forerunner of Others JAY DAVIDSON LOS ANGELES is to have an opportunity of witnessing the first professional marathon race ever held in the southwest in which champions and near-champions at the long distance will compete. Charles J". J'yton, referee and all-round sportsman, has arranged iiis plans for promoting the big event and has signed up Henri St. Yves, world champion at the full course, and John Jj. Majsli, Canadian champion, whom St. Yves recently J>eat by the narrow margin of one mile in a fifteen-mile race. John S. Karnes, manager for St. Yves, is in the city and closed the contract yester day. The big race will he run either February 6or a week later, the exact date not being decided upon as yet, beyond the fact that it will he run on Sunday, as Evton desires to get two or more fa mous runners in the event. Owing to the fact that linnunlo, the great Italian runner, and John II winner of the Olympic Marathon at London, are to MMet next Sunday in a match race at San Francisco, which event will be followed later by another match between the winner and St. Yves, interest in the long distance sport has been kindlel to a high pitch oil tho coast and several of the most noted runners in the world are on their way to 'Frisco to get matches. This maftet it easy for Eyton to secure these star performers for the edification of those Los Angeles patrons of athletics who desire to ste the great runners in act ual contest. Barnea will leavg today fnr San Fran cisco to arrange for bringing St. Yves ami Marsh t<i l«s Anfeles and will aastlt Kyton in getting other runners to enter the event. He is of the opin ion that the summer climatic' conditions in the southland will make it easier for the runners to train here and will en able them to get into their best form than If thpy should train in the colder climate at Bon Francisco. Therefore be will send St. Yves here at once to go into training. Marsh will probably come at the same time, although Barnes would not attempt to speak uu thoritatively for him. Kyton has not decided upon tho place Where the liig race will bo run. but has several swfal le locations in sight.

Errors Beat Racycles The San Pedro baseball team defeat ed the racyclea on the Harbor city diamond yesterday by the score of 6 to 4 The feature of the game was the fielding of Siegel of the Racycles, who threw out Whaling at first base twice on apparently clean hits to the right garden.

The race will ba run in considerably loss than three, hours, as botii runners hold records i lose to two and a half hours. SI. Yves' record, made when he defeated Dorando, Hayes, Longboat and all tho other cracks for the world's Champion ship, is 2:32:39 I,s, but ho afterward came close to being beaten by Marsh in a 16-mile Marathon. Marsh holds the Canadian record of 2:3»:47 ami Is Improving at a rate that makes "him the most formidable contender fur *he Ht. Yves honors as world champion. .Marsh is not us well known in tho Eport as St. Yjcs, yet he has beaten Johnny Hayes Jlnd other great rtiuiiiiH in recent matches and is loofeed upon as the most formidable contender the Frenchman will have when he again is trying for the championship. Botli-. are speedy runners, being able to go out in front and sprint for many miles and then make a winning finish after all opposition is killed off. This event will probably be only th 9 forerunner of others and it is also prob able that before the summer is over all the great Marathon runners of the day will be seen in action here. It Is almost a certainty that St. Yves, Do raado, Johnny Hayes and Marsh will hook up before long in this city. Tom Connolly, the local Marathon runner, who is in Frisco after matches with the more famous runners, probably will be one of the starters in the St. Yv»s- Bttarah contest, which will give addi tional interest locally in the race.

The Hell of It The newcomer had just encountered a glaring billboard, "Classic Drama at the Plutonian Tonight! I William Shakespeare in His Great Creation of 'Hamlet!' Booth and Barrett as Rosen crantz and Guiidenstern! Wagner and Mozart Orchestra!. Seats Free! Every body Welcome!" ■' ■''* "Surely this can't bo Hades, with this great dramatic feast free to all?" he suggested hopefully to a bystander. "Oh, it's hell, all right," groaned. the bystander. "You see, they use a drop curtain depicting sunrise in the Alps surrounded by the names of fourteen kinds of whisky and. sixteen varieties of chewing gum; the local smart set enters during the progress of the sec ond act: the performance is preceded by moving pictures showing a chase after criminals In ' automobiles: flio man behind you has already witnessed the show four times;, the ushers sell the complete words and music of; the production at 10 cents a copy, and I In: audience invariably demands 'Casey at tho Bat.'
