6 OUR AMATEUR ATHLETES KNIGHTS OF THE SPIKED SHOE READY FOR THE FRAY. Some of the Probable Starters in the Hundred Tard Pneumatio-Tired Information About Athletic Sports. The admirers in Loa Angeles of square and well-contested athletic sports have a treat in store for them. The meeting to be held nexfSaturday at Agricultural park under the auspices of that popular organization, the Los Angeles Athletic club, promises to be by long odds the best ever held in Southern California. The best amateurs in this part of the state will battle for supremacy in running, jumping and other athletic events.

Every contest Will be decided entirely ou the merits of the competitors. This is why amateur stand so well with the best people of the land. The average spectator delights to see a genuine and hotly contested race. The majority of the amateur records of Southern California are destined'to take a tumble next week, and it is to be hoped that several of the boys will make creditable records at the different games. The greatest interest is taken in the 100-yard race for the championship of Southern California.

There will be a big tield of starters, and it will be quite a difficult feat to pick the winner. Al Austin, Ward, Phil Percival, T. McAleer, Ed. Germain and E. Chapman will be among those who will uphold the prestige of this city in that event.

Robert Bettner, of Riverside, Dr. Yates, of Fresno, Barney Benjamin, of San Diego, and Prince, of Pasadena, are also reported to be training for the hundred yard dash. At this writing it looks as if fully a dozen will toe the scratch. It will be race from tbe crack of the pistol. The best known of the competitors is probably Robert Bettner, of Riverside.

He holds the club record with a mark of eleven seconds. Yates and Ward are I both speedy and are held to be 10? 4 second men. Very little can be learned about tbe Pasadena entry. He is probably the dark horse in the race. Percival is showing up surprisingly well in his trials, and is reported to have already shown a hundred in seconds.

Barney Benjamin is training hard. His favorite distance is the quarter, but he is a fair sprint runner and should have a fighting chance, especially if the race is not run as fast as 4 seconds. Al Austin is a good, strong runner and will be in fine conditiou next Saturday. He will also be a dangerous factor in the 220-yard race. Very little is known of the sprinting ability of either T.

Mc- Aleer, Ed Germain or Ed Chapman. In addition to the above there are sure to be several dark horses. "Victor E. Schifferstein is the champion hundred runner of California. He ranks with the best in America.

At the championship games of the Pacific Coast Athletic association, "Schiff" has won the hundred four years in succession. At the American Amateur championship games last year, J. Owen, of the Detriot. Athletic club, was credited with running the hundred-yard dash in 9 4-5 seconds, which is the amateur record of America. The best previous record was ten seconds, which has been made by several athletes.

AJglance through the records shows that 10 2-5 has been good enough to win on a great many occasions. In 1884, Ford won the one hundredyard championship at the games of the American Amateur Champion athletes, with a record of 10 4-5 At the English championship games, J. M. Cowie won in 10 3-5, but 10 1-5 and 10 2-5 has been made quite often, while in 1886, Wharton ran in 10 seconds flat. Ten and four-fifths has been good enough to win the Irish championship twice in the past seven years, and time ever made at au Irish championship meeting was 10 2-5 seconds.

The best time ever made at an Intersollegiate meeting was 10 1-5 seconds, while 10 3-5 has been fast enough to win four times in the last eight years. The Canadian records -are very fast for the hundred on an average, but this is due to the fact that the path is a little down grade. The fastest time on record at a meeting of the Pacific Coast Athletic association is 10 2-5 seconds. The event has been won twice, however, in 10 3-5 seconds. The starters in the quarter mile are yet an enigma.

Howard, Austin, Ward, McAleer and Hoppersteau will probably be among the contestants from this city. Pasadena will be represented by Chas. Bell, and several other outside towns will have representatives. This is an especially hard race, requiring both speed and stamina. In order to make fair time the athletes will have to show up in good condition.

Wonderful improvement has been made at this distance in the past five years, and the athlete who cannot show 52 seconds has not much chance to win championship honors at the regular championship meetings held in America, Canada, Ireland or England. The Irish records at this game do not compare with the American records. For instance, the best time ever made at the Irish championship games is 52 2 5 seconds, while in 1889, R. D. Freeman, of the Dublin university, won in 54 seconds.

The Pacific coast records made at championship games are not what they might be. The winners of this event are as follows: 1885, J. O'Kane, seconds; 1888, W. A. Magee, 54 4 1889.

W. A. Magee, 54 seconds, and in 1890 S. V. Cassidy, 52 4-5 seconds.

The writer confidently expects that the winner of this race next Saturday will make a record that will compare favorably with the records made by Beveral of the holders of coast records at this distance. The track will militate against the Los Angeles boys making especially fast time, but the quarter should be run in 55 seconds, which would be equivalent to 54 seconds on a fast track. This event has been won, however, in the following times at different championship meetings in the past seven years: American championship games, 55 4-5 seconds; English championship games, 52 2-5 seconds; Irish championship games, 54 seconds; American intercollegiate championship lames, 54 2-5 seconds, and Canadian championship games, 58 seconds. As the best athletes in the country try conclusions in these games, it will therefore be observed that our boys are doing pretty well if they beat 57 seconds, especially after they have competed in several other events. The one mile appears to be a very opin event.

Very little can be ascertamed in regard to trials. Among those who are likely to strip might be mentioned Sam Peterson, Hppperstead, Ed. Germain, McAleer. Walter Tyler, Chas. Bell and H.

Heffner. There are doubtless several others who will compete. Five minutes and ten seconds will about land this race, unless some unusually good man comes to the front. The majority of the nailers will also contest in the half mile which should be run in about two minutes and fifteen seconds. However, conjecture is idle at this time owing to the eemcv maintained about the private trials made during the past week.

The high jump will bring together at least half a dozen athletes. George Eeebe, Ed. Chapman, Paul Flaminer, Hopperstead and Germain will try for the gold medal at this game. There is every reason to believe that the club record held by J. W.

Winston of 5 feet inches will be beaten. It will not be beaten very much, however, and the man who can clear the bar at 5 feet 3 inches will doubtless win. No man who can jump 6 feet should stay out of the competition. The same men and several of the sprinters will contest in the running broad jump, and hop, step and jump. This latter event could well have been left out of the programme.

The cycling events promise to he interesting, as it is reported that a competitor from is to ride a pneumatic-tired machine. This piece of news has created some consternation in local wheeling circles. As far as known this is the only pneumatic-tired machine in the west. The pneumatic was recently introduced by an English firm, and has caused a revolution in racing circles. It is fully ten seconds faster.

This is apparent when it is stated that the best English professional record for a mile made on an ordinary racing machine is 2:31 1-5 seconds, while the record last year for the pneumatic was 2:20 3-5, and a trial of 2:13 is reported. This record has not been accepted, however. The above is given to show why the local riders are a little scared to run against a pneumatictired machine. The safety race will have at least six entries. Will Tufts.

D. L. Burke, Bob Wood worth, and McGarvin are in training, and it promises to be a very close arid exciting race, and if the track is in fair condition anew coast record will be established. The 2 mile will bring together a good field. It looks to be a very open event with Buch flyers as Allen, Burke, Shrode, Bundy, and the mysterious pneumatic tired man competing.

Will Allen will ride a Columbia racer; D. L. Burke will be mounted on a Victor racer; Monrovia cyclone, will ride a Star racer, and Bundy will be mounted on a light Champion. There will be several other competitors not enumerated above, and'the chances are favorable for red-hot contests. The mile bicycle will be contested by the same men who ride in the mile.

Entries for all the events to be decided next Saturday at the Agricultural park close with Secretary Thayer next Wednesday, May 27th. As soon as the entry list is published a much better estimate oi the chances of the different athletes can be given. Quite a number of the events are open to all amateur athletes. May the best men win. Dagwobth.

POMONA. Interesting Items from a Busy Com- munity. the Pomona Strawberries are so cheap now that some people do not find it profitable to even pick them. There are many ranchmen in the foothill regions who have invested in new coyote traps, and will extra attention to the capture of the beasts, now that a bounty of $5 per coyote scalp is paid by the county. Charles Powell has got nine scalps already.

The San Dimas hotel and forty acres of surrounding land (including ten acres of 2-year-old orange orchard) were sold last week for $26,000, A large amount of acreage property has been sold at San Dimas this season, and many new orchards will be started there next spring. Lemons are gaining in favor each year with the fruit growers of this section. C. E. Sumner has just planted eight acres to lemons near the Santa Fe road.

J. A. Owen is planting this week on his twenty acre piece four acres of lemons and four of oranges. He now has it all set to oranges, lemons and prunes. It is noticeable that in some of the prune orchards in this section the fruit is dropping to a considerable extent, though it is thought not enough to endanger a good crop.

Much of the young fruit drops off each year, and often more has to be pulled off, to prevent the trees from breaking down under their burdens. A Pomona man has a letter from the editor of Harper's Weekly, asking for photographs of the great sugar factory at Chino, and a descriptive article about that institution as soon as it gets in running order. The Chino factory is attracting attention among sugar makers everywhere. It is to be the largest on this continent. If the plans of M.

L. Wicks of Los Angeles, and other owners of large tracts of land in the vicinity of San Dimas, are carried into execution, the largest adobe reservoir ever known in these parts will be built in a year or two, so that the water from San Dimas canon can be stored. Mr. Wicks has had men at work on the project for weeks. The directors of the board of trade held a meeting Monday evening.

Among other business, the best means of following up the work begun at the Chicago carnival and giving full and desired information regarding Pomona to the many inquirers in the east, was discussed. The board are fully awake to the matter of improving the present opportunities, and propose to take steps at once to circulate, so far as possible, complete and reliable information regarding Pomona and the valley. A GANG PLOW BELLE. The Way Pretty Ventura Girls Pass Their Time. A recentwisitorto Ventura county relates a rather novel sight which he witnessed near New Jerusalem.

It was that of eight horses attached to gang plows under the tender management of a young and handsome lady, the daughter of John Borchard, a wealthy rancher of that locality. Mr. Borchard has two daughters who work on the farm con-' stantly, doing all manner of ranch labor, both at seed time and harvest; and, what is more, their father says he cannot hire any man who does his work as well as his own daughters.

THE LOS ANGELES HERALD. SUNDAY MORNING, MAY 24, 1891 A POMONA WAITER A BIG TIP. Waiters Who Keep Their Thumbs Out of Soup Plates and Refrain From Swearing at People Should a.n.4 Ude This Story, Among the giieSts at the Hotel Palmares in this place, three years ago last winter, was Oscar Phelps, of Portsmouth, N. says the Pomona Progress. He was an old gentleman, very eccentric and notional.

He suffered severely with asthma and slightly with rheumatism, and was naturally not the pleasanteet and most jovial guest in the house. The old gentleman was particularly fussy about his meals and thecareof his room. He' spent two months at the Palomares. At the same time there was among the hotel waiters, George Peckman, a poor but agreeable young man, who had had many of the hard knocks of life in trying to get a living. He had wandered all over the country, and was not worth a dollar.

Mr. Phelps was given a seat at the dining table upon which Peckman waited, and for a time the waiter was scolded most soundly by the old gentleman because the food did not taste right. Peckman never lost his temper, but he rather humored the guest, got I him the very best the hotel afforded, always treated him with utmost.kindness and good cheer. A friendship soon grew between Mr. Phelps and the waiter, and they often went out for little walks together and Peckman spent hours in the old gentleman's room.

The sequel has come this week. It eeems that after Mr. Phelps went back jto his eastern home he got an $1800 position for Peckman in the Pullman Car company offices in Boston, and the I young man has been promoted five times in two years. Last month Mr. Phelps died, and a clause in his will was devoted to Peckinanjft The latter was bequeathed $3600, and the will said that the bequest "was made with the hope that the news of it might go abroad and bejthe cause of inspiring some of the thousands of ill-bred and uncouth employees about hotels to be polite and considerate of old and enfeebled guests." How Tin Cure Rheumatism in l'ennsylTania.

Mr. J. F. Meighan, a Pittsburgh cigar dealer, awoke one morning with an attack of rheumatism in his right arm. Working around the store during the forenoon made it worse.

By noon the pain was so severe that he could not raise his hand to his head and had to carry hia arm in a sling. One of his customers, on learning the facts, went across the street to F. £. Heck's drug store, and at his own expense procured a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm and persuaded the cigar dealer to try it. It eased the pain and reduced the swelling so that by ttve next morning he could use his arm, and by the second morning was entirely well.

This is only one of the many severe cases of rheumatism that have been cured by this valuable remedy. 50 cent bottles for sale by C. F. Heinzeman, druggist, 222 N. Main street.
