Short Card Bouts Prove Attractive to the Local Ring Fans
PLENTY OF SPORT
AT AMATEUR SHOW
Promoter McCarey's Initial Ven
ture Provides Plenty of Gore
and All-Round Good Card
LAST NIGHT'S WINNERS
-Victor Barsantp defeated Ad Carey,
■ four rounds. "Decision.
Fred Srhnard defeated Kid Fowler,
five rounds. Decision.
Billy Kmricli defeated Jack Hupps,
three rounds. Stopped.
Beryl Hatton defeated Battling Chlco,
six rounds. Decision.
! Gus Anderson defeated George Sliver,
two rounds. Stopped.
Eddie Cerf defeated Fred Barrett, »lx
. round*. Derision. ,
. Tony Hose defeated Jack Walsh, seven
rounds. Decision.
If gore and knockdowns are what thf
fans of this section want for their fis
tic sport, then the amateurs urn here
to stick. Promoter McCarey's opening
venture last night with the short bout
hoys proved highly entertaining, and
every participant on the card contrib
uted his pool of claret to the general
puddle.
The card, taken as a whole, was onp
of the best of its kind every offered
anywhere. With the exception of the
high comedy pulled by Billy Emri<-h
and Jack Hupps, the rest of the boys
seemed to know their business nnd
wiimd through their sessions willingly.
The Beryl Hatton-Battling Chico affair
had a rather "half and half" look, but
aside from that everything tras lovely.
For a windup nothing bitter than the
Tony Rose-Jack Walsh fray could have
been arranged. Both men shaped up
like modern Adonises, the big black
smith having it on his riusky opponent
—in looks. Rose did all the clean hit
ting for the first three rounds, and then
"Walsh began to realize he was there to
do some infighting. Rose hung on. save
when he was forced to break, but al
ways came into his clinch with a clean
punch to some part of his opponent's
head. Walsh came fnst toward the end
and at the conclusion of the sixth
period another round was ordered. In
this Rose went to the front again with
hard smashes to the stomach which
caused his man to drop for the count
and then for eight. Both men were on
their feet at the end, with Tony the
1 better.
SLPOGERS COMB FIRST
The opening bout found Victor Ber
sante and Ad Carey engaged in a nice
slugging match. The former had a bit
the better of it and was awnrded a
verdict at the end of four rounds.
Kid Fowler and Fred Schuard were
forced to go an extra period before a
decision favoring the latter could be
arrived at. Schuard was knocked down
In the second, but proved too strong
and came back to have the little tow
head wobbling at the close.
The Km^rich-Hupps show was very
much to the mustard, the referee stop
ping it in the third, when Hupps
started to reel around the ring.
Beryl Hatton and Battling Chico put
tip the "educated" part of the card
With the exception of the fifth round
Hatton hnd the better of every period
by a slight shade, but the crowd could
not see a decision favoring him and
booed their protest. .
Ous Anderson, a rangy sorrel top,
hnd a fit opponent in George Silver
until the second round. Then the Swede,
found "in opening for a neat right cross,
nnd there was no need to go through
the formality of tolling ten over ' liver.
Eddie Cerf showed a lot of class
against Fred Barrett and won after
having taken but half B dozen punches
In as many rounds. Barrett was there
like Joe Grim and took an awful wal
loping, but apparently was unable to
get in action with his hands and for
the most part noted as punching bag
for the far cleverer Cerf.

will in a few years equal If not exceed
the production of the Imperial

This year about S'XiO acres will bc>

this the Blythe ranch settlers will put
in between 2000 and "000 and the Ran

"Until the Palo Verde \v:ir opened for
settlement by the United States land

Blythe ranch, patent to which had been
issued prior to that time," said Mr.
Hannells yesterday. "Cotton bad not

ing Interest in Sports
Tennis among the housetops is the
latest innovation presented to the fans
of Southern California. The local
Young Men's Christian association has
just laid out a court over the plunge

I so situated that n view may be had of
sea and mountain while the play
ers chase the bounding rubber about
the floor.
The court formerly wns used for
basket ball, but It has been changed
into a tennis court in response tn
numerous demands for the racket
game. Next to handball, which has
boen encouraged by the addition of
two new handball courts, the game
of tennis seems to appeal the most to
business and professional men.
Another frature of the physical work
which has been put on by reason of
considerable request, is the opening

appeals to business men who desire

EIGHT TERMS KEPT IN
RACE BY STIMULANTS
Weary Riders in Six-Day Grind
Are Far Behind World
Record
NEW YORK, Dec. 3.—Far behind the
record, eight weary teams were still
grinding around Mndison Square gar
den tonight in the six-day bicycle race.
The end will come at 10 o'clock to
morrow night.
At midnight, the 120 th hour, the
teams stood:
Moran-Root, Fogler-Hill, Hahrir-Gou
let, 2195.C; Mitten-Thomas, Collins-
Brobach, 195.5; Cameron-Halstead,
West-Demara, 2195.4; Rutt-Clarke,
2195.3. The record is 2232, made by
Rutt and Stol in 1908.
The record for the USth hour is
2155.5, made by Demara and Hill in
1908.
Every rider is beginning to show
eftects of the strain, and only constant
urging by trainers and a substantial
supply of stimulants keep the men on
their wheels.
Ever since Wednesday the riders
have dropped behind the world's record.
Clarke and Rutt are in better condi

tonight to sprint.

NEW YORK, Dee. -The new football

the Hotel Astor on December 29. Thirty«eight
universities and colleges are included in tie
association membership. Most or The better

when it is stated that the yield was at
the rate of two bales to the acre.
"Of course, no one expects to main
tain that average, but the result was
so satisfactory that the settlers of the
valley became convinced that cotton
could be successfully grown in the val
1. y at a very good profit.
"Settlers are so confident that the
state claim to the land under the over
flow act will be thrown out by tha
United States surveyor general's "U\< ■
that they have gone ahead with the
development of the land.
"Arrangements have been made with
the palo Verde Mutual Water company
to bring water down to Bannells from
Blythe.
"Palo Verde, unlike the Imperial val
ley, will be strictly a long-staple dis
trict from the beginning. The Allen
Improved long-staple cotton from Ten
in Mi c will be grown, and experts will
go to the district! free from the boll
weevil to obtain seeds. As the price
of the long staple is from 7 to 15 cents
better on the pound than that of the
short staple, the liuliry of this course
will be seen. Growers in the Palo Ver
de expect to get $100 cotton the coming
year, and if they set a bale to the acre
they will be highly pleased.
"The soil of the Palo Verde valley is
alluvial, and the entire valley i.s cov
ered by from six to eight inches of de
composed vegetable matter. This .
a richer s.>il than is found in the Im

In the Knglish game with the Inter

local youngsters, ready to make the
greatest battle of their lives to land the
state championship for the Angeleno
school, have been living football during
the past week, and are slated to maku
It warm for the northern Jitle holders.
In close play the Los Angeles high
school team nas decidedly the advan

to their Palo Alto rivals, they expect
to make their longest gains from drib
bling from scrum and following in from
touch. On the other hand is arrayed
the speedy backs of the Cardinal ba

and the fast backfield on the heavy side
of the balance.

SHAUGHNESSY A WITNESS
IN RACING BRIB E PROBE
Former New York Senate Secre
tary Tells of Employment
by Jockey Club
NEW YORK, Dec. 9. — Edward
Shaughnessy, a former state senate
stenographer, who now describes him-
BClf an ".spiritual and p'riilosophiynl ad
! vlser" to the politically unemployed,
was before the joint investigating com
mittee today. He expres-ed surprise
that there should be any doubt as to
how he earned $1000 from the Jockey
club for legislative work.
Testimony connected his name with
such work, but It was not brought out
Who lie was. At this Shaushnes-y
profesperi indignation, and in a letter
to tho committee he claims a leading
part in the Republican nomination in
1904 of M. Lynn Bruce for lieutenant
governor, and he quoted letters from
Mr. -liriue to show their acquaintance
ship.
His employment by the Jockey elul>,
he says, came about through Joseph
E, Auwbach of counsel fur the club,
ami he stipulated that he would "look
after the Caisldy-Lanslng bill," on
condition thnt no other person should
be sent to Albany and that not a dol
lar should be spent for votes or any
other sinister purpose.
the chamber of commerce of Yucatan,
southernmost of the states of Mexico,
was highly gratifying to the Panama-
California exposition officials, inas
much as it is expected that from this
country will come exhibits of the
relics of the first civilization on the
American continents." Here in the in
teresting spot the Mayas lived and
thrived before the Aztecs and the Tol
tecs, and the population of that coun
try today la largely made up of de
scendants orthis ancient people.
The natural products of Yucatan
are rubber, coffee, hemp, spices and
hardwoods such as mahogany and
"rosewood. The natives are deft work
ers in metals, the filigree work in gold
and silver and their hand-wrought
articles of brass and copper being
notable in all the markets of the
world. Doubtless the exhibit at San
Diego made by Yucatan will be one
hf the most interesting of the expo
sition.
M. Sainte-Crojjc de la Koneiere,
president of the chamber of com
merce of Guadeloupe, in the French
West Indies, and councilor of the-for
eign commerce or France, has written
Director General Collier that be has
been designated by the chambers of
commerce to solicit articles for an ex
hibit at the Ban Diego exposition from
Guadeloupe and the Lower Antilles
and also to be the representative of
that French colony at the exposition.
This should be no less interesting
than that of Yucatan.
It Is now planned by the building
and grounds committee of the expo
sition to "break ground for the first
building early in the coming spring.
This will be the art museum, one of
the permanent buildings of Balboa
park in San Diego, where the expo
sition Is to be held. • It will be com
pleted at least two years before the
opening of the exposition on January
1, 1913, and the art exhibit will be
Installed immediately upon its com
pletion.
Plans for the ceremonies to attend
thfl breaking of ground for the expo
sition next spring am already under
way, and it is expected that thousands
of people from nil parrs of the country

OLDFIELD GOING
AFTER RECORDS
King of Auto Dare Devils and Six
Other Pilots to Meet at
Ascot Park
AN OUTLAW RACE MEETING
Other Well Known Drivers and
Cars Are Entered in Vari
ous Class Events
A now red letter chapter will bo
added to the auto racing history of
the Pacific coast this afternoon and
tomorrow when Barney Oldfleld, the
world's speed king, and a half dozen
other pilots will meet in competition
and record trials at Ascot park.
■Never were conditions more ideal
for a great dirt track meet. The
gasoline following has had a feast of
both road racing and motordrome
contests, and now the bugs want a
slice of hair-raising, blood-tingling
dirt track competition where Barney
Oldfleld, the peer of all chanco takers,
will be given an opportunity to turn
himself loose as he has done in the
past. '.-.'■ . - . ' . ■
Last winter Ascot park was the pop
ular track for auto racing, and until
the motordrome opened In the spring
nil the meets were run there. Such a
thing as a poor attendance was never
known and such a thing as an unin
teresting program was unheard of.
And when Barney Oldfield showed it
meant new records for the dope artist.
At the meet today and Sunday Bar
ney will be on hand with more frills
and sensations than ever before, be
cause he is better equipped than on
any previous trip to the roast.. He
has a quartet of speed machines that
arekexcelled nowhere In the world, and
some idea of what they can do was
shown at the motordrome a couple of
weeks ago when Joe Nikrent drove
King Barney's Knox stock car to vic
tory In every event In- which It was
entered and finished first in six out of
the ten events on two days, also
breaking two world's records.
TO TRY OUT ALL CABS
What Is to be expected of his other
machines, If the Knox has no trouble
in winning over all competitors? And
Barney is going after the dirt track
marks with all of his cars.
After trying out his Prince Henry
Benz yesterday Oldfleld felt very en
thusiastic and declared that he would
be able to surpass all previous sensa
tional stunts when his turn came to
I perform at the meet this afternoon
and Sunday.
No more wonderful sight is known
to the speed world than Oldfleld's 200
--horse power car, and it has never
been seen on a dirt track In Los An
geles. Last year on the motordrome
the machine eclipsed the best previous
mark of a racing creation on a speed
way and established a . new world's
record, but since then Barney has been
campaigning" through the east,
But - the Benz will have anything
but a cinch in its onslaught on Father
Time as Ben Kerscher Is . also back
on the coast and will drive his 100
--horse power Darracq machine In the
speed* flights. Kerscher and his car
now hold four world's records and the
Flying Dutchman, as he Is known,
Is "out to add a couple more laurels
to his wreath. , . -,- ■
The Darracq machine when last seen
at Ascot park was capable of doing
miles in record time, and it forced
King Barney to extend himself as he
never was extended before. This year
the machine Is equipped with new
wheels and is much faster.
LOCAL MACHINES ENTERED
Of the local machines entered there
are three cars that can be depended
upon to show class and finish among
the winners—the Cutting 30. Which
has made an enviable reputation since
its arrival on the coast; the Parry,
which was among the biggest winners
In the eastern track meets this year,
and the Stayer-Chicago. The latter
machine .s of I stock design and will
be driven by its owner, who has en
tered it in every race in which It is
eligible.
In the novelty road race there will
be seen in action two Knox cars, p.
Petrel, two Fords 'and a Cutting.
Another novelty feature will be a
match race between two trucks—a
