6 RACING ATHLETICS BOXING SURPRISES ARE ORDER OF DAY GOOD THINGS CONTINUE TO GET THE COIN Horsemen, Imbued with Idea That This Is Getaway Season in California, Taking Desperate Chances with Judges JAY DAVIDSON Surprises were the order of the day yesterday at Santa Anita park. Favorites had rough sledding because the sleepers had to cash, and while there were only six opportunities for the aforesaid sleepers, half a dozen of them got away with the kale. The cactus nominees went through without a wobble and indications to the effect that this is a getaway meeting were corroborated in every race. Horsemen are bolder now than formerly, because the prospect that racing will be killed in California is so good that the faint-hearted have no heart at all, makes it easier for them to uncover their good things and get away with it, because the judges are afraid to make a move at this time. In other, words, horsemen are saying to the.

judges, "What are you going to do about it?" Interference with the sport has wrecked it, and those have horses are going after the money with the recklessne: that brooks no dispute, i Horses arc winning now that never! hri a chance, and while the outlook is gloomy, the weak-kneed promoters will have nobody to blame but themselves if the game is closed because of the cheating operations that are conducted in the scare caused by the fearj that the anti-racing bill will have the) same fate in the senate that it had in the house. Now is the time to make history, but everybody seems afraid. 'he manner in which a few owners are getting away with some rough stuff out at Santa Anita is sufficient argument against the game. Those charged with the protection of the sport seem powerless or weak-spined and the foes of racing are getting fresh arguments every day against the sport because the acute situation permits such stuff to be pulled off. There was no feature of the card yesterday, as it was Friday and the; day preceding stake day.

The selling; platers had it all to themselves and the brackets were handed around where they would do the most good. che, which never had shown the slightest disposition to beat the kind that! she won from yesterday, won the fourth race to the eternal surprise ot all who witnessed the affair, doing the seven furlongs in 1:26 1-6, beating Dennis Stafford, John Carroll, Centre Shot and Fleming, all of which outclassed her any time there was any leveling done. This much is on the level. The cowards in the game and the crooks are lining up together and are doing things that the integrity of the sport will not stand for and only because those "in authority are unwilling to take any chances now of stirring up I scandal by forcing horses to run to form or quit running at all is the state of affairs at Santa Anita getting so bold that the ordinary porch-climber be an amateur in comparison some of the operations pulled oft in the last week or ten days. The judges should be more particular now than at any other time and if they were more particular a lot of good things fail to cash and the public would get a better run for its money.

A few things have been pulled off in the last week that would be sufficient argument against the game forever and it is high time that it was the game will be stopped. There is some talk around the track that Red Walker will ship his entire string to Emeryville in few days. The patrons of the sport who have attended the-meeting this winter will hear this news with considerable pleasure. This is one stable that has done more to turn the general public against racing than all others combined, as the form reversals which Walker has got away with this season are so numerous and so glaring that he would be lucky if he got away in time to ship to Emeryville if the situation was not so acute. If there is one horse in his barn, exceptmg Stanley Fay, that has run a formful race this season the longsuffering public that lost on races in which he has had an entry will be highly delighted to know it.

Walker is not the only one who has been guilty of these transactions which have skinned the general, patronizing public. There are others who are as deep in the mire as himself, and that is saying a heap. But they have got away with it, and because the legislature is in session and a few horsemen have taken the desperate chance of putting over their sleepers in the belief that everything would be overlooked. The Henry stable, R. L.

Thomas, T. H. Stevens and the Texas bunch have been getting away with a lot of stuff that would have directed attention to their operations in any other season than that In which the legislature is in session. Many jokes have been perpetrated upon the public at Santa Anita this winter, and it is a shame upon the official staff that the horsemen have been able to do things under the stress of excitement and fear caused by the action of the house in voting upon the anit-racing bill has caused. Only a glance over the form chart of the last month is necessary to convince the best friend that racing can own in this section of the state that the privilege is being abused and that the officials in control of the sport are lacking in that firmness and discipline which is necessary to make a good argument In favor of the sport.

Those who want to see the sport of kings perpetuated in California blush nearly every time a number is hung out on the board to indicate the one-two-three horses in the races this season and it is high time that those who are in authority and are paid salaries for holding their jobs are looking ahead of themselves and elevating the sport by inflicting that discipline which is necessary to to run to form and nullify the arguments of the opponents of racing by reason of the formful races that are run during this meeting. How many favorites have won in the last month? It is time for somebody to wake up, cast aside the petty quarrels between owners and force the sport to be on the square all the time that it exists. If this is not done there will be few, except the salary grabbers, who will be disappointed at the action of the legislature in puttine the sport on the ban. With every official at the track a foreigner, so far as California is concerned, all the money going in a common stream to the foreign pocket and plain grand larceny being committed on the track every day in the results of races, it looks like it was high time for somebody to wake up end take a chance on doing: right.

CAN'T BE CHRISTLIKE IF A STENOGRAPHER Emffloyers Might Be, but Not Employes, Says Miss Selma Me- Govern After Two Weeks' Trial CLEVELAND, 0., Jan.

29. "You can't live as Jesus would and be an employe of a large Cleveland business house," says Mis? Selma McGovern, aged 21, who attempted to begin living two weeks as she thinks Christ would. Two days of the experiment convinced her of its impossibility in Cleveland business life. "It can't be done by an employe," she said. "The employer himself might carry the morality of Jesus into his business if he chose.

The case is not hopeless. But the least, my And it is suicidal for the employe to attempt it. "Christ's morality and business tact clash. An employe insisting upon rigid honesty would be discharged instantly. I don't mean to say my firm is dishonest.

Along broad lines it isn't. But the department managers resort to many evasions of the truth in order to escape unpleasant consequences. "For Instance, a retail store is writing or wiring in for an explanation of why a certain order has not been sent. The reply is that it is the fault of the manufacturer. 'We have punched them up several times already.

We will do so again at once, and no doubt the order will soon be So the letter runs. "Perhaps the manufacturer has been punched up. That may all be true after writing the letter, the department head may or may not make good his word. Most always he doesn't. "No doubt it is necessary in business to tell that kind of lies.

But Jesus wouldn't. And when I type the letter I must tell the lie, too. Jesus wouldn't be implicated in the lie. He would refuse to write it. If I did that I would lose my position." Norris Rowe Circus Sold SANTA CRUZ, Jan.

FOREST WEALTH OF COUNTRY IS LARGE TIMBER OF UNITED STATES MUST BE PROTECTED By Reasonable Thrift Supply of Lumber Needed for All Can Be Produced in America WASHINGTON, Jan. people have anything like a clear idea of the amount of forest wealth left in this country.

Those who think at all about this natural resource which has assisted in material development since the landing of the first settlers are usually too much influenced by condition of that particular state or section in which they are most familiar. If they live in a much deforested or a treeless region the people usually imagine that the country's timber supply is even more limited than is actually the fact; on the other hand, with those whose homes are located in a section where a pinch in timber has not been experienced, the feeling is likely to be altogether the other way and some become so indifferent at times as to think that there is really not much reason to worry about a timber problem. Both can profit by a reading of the actual facts. The forests of the United States now cover about 550,000,000 acres, or about one-fourth of the land of the whole country. The original forests covere.l not less than acres, or nearly one-half.

The forests owned by the government cover one-fourth of the total forest area, and contain one-fifth of all timber standing. Forests privately cover three-fourths of the area and contain four-fifths of the standing timber. Besides having three times the area and four times the forests, the timber land privately owned is generally more valuable. Practices Conservative Lumbering Forestry, or conservative lumbering, is practiced on 70 per cent of the forests publicly owned and on less than 1 per cent of the forests privately owned. This covers the conutry's forest resources as they stand today.

Senator Smoot, chairman of the section of forests of the national conservation commission, in outlining the future, has said: "By reasonable thrift we can produce a constant timber supply beyond our present need, and with it conserve the usefulness of our streams for irrigation, water supply, navigation and power. "Under right management our forests will yield over four times as much as now. We tan reduce waste in the woods and in the mill at least on-third, with present as well as future profit. We can perpetuate the naval stores industry. Preservative treatment will reduce by one-fifth the quantity of timber used in the water or in the ground.

We can practically stop forest fires at a total yearly cost of one-fifth the value of the standing timber burned each year, not counting young growth. "We shall suffer for timber to niefc our needs until our forests have had time to grow again. But if we act. vigorously and at once we shall escape permanent timber scarcity." NEW YORK SURGEONS OPERATE ON BIG RHINO Mogul Given Anesthetic While White Coated Physicians Remove Cataract to Prevent Blindness NEW YORK, Jan. white-coated physicians and all the usual appurtenances of a modern hospital were employed in the operation for cataract upon Mogul, the big Indian rhinoceros, in the new elephant house of the Bronx zoological gardens.

For eighteen, minutes the huge animal lay unconscious under the anaesthetic: while the attempt to relieve him of blindness was being made. When it was all over he proved himself a lively and keen-sighted patient by tearing the back out of a keeper's coat ith an accurate thrust of his horn. Mogul's trouble was the result of an injury (received while he was being captured in an Indian jungle two years ago. He was operated upon last year, but only partially recovered. Dr.

George B. Van Mater of 682 Greene avenue, Brooklyn, was in charge of the case, and was assisted by Dr. F. C. Grensidt-, president of the Veterinary Medical society, and Dr.

D. J. Mangan. Students from the veterinary department of New York university were present. The patient was carefully scrubbe-1 and was then hobbled.

Bags of fresh hay were laid on the floor and eight men tugged at the hobbles until Mogul sank over on his side. Chloroform was applied, but it was eight minutes before Mogul lapsed into unconsciousness. In his final struggles the rhinoceros was able to reach Dick Richards, one of the keepers, injuring his knee. After cocaine had been dropped in both eyes Dr. Van Mater punctured tho envelope of the cataract in two places and drained the wound in eighteen minutes.

Mogul's eyes and head were then washed and the hobbles removed. Two minutes afterward Mogul blinked a few times and struggled to his feet. Walter Thuman, one of the keepers, entered the cage with a prod, thinking to test the big fellow's eyesight. Mogul charged. Thuman made a flying leap for the bars and reached them just as the rhinoceros hooked his horn under the tail of the keeper's coat.

Dr. Blair said that he considered the attempt to remove the cataract entirely successful so far as can be judged at this time. He said that it will be a month before the final result can be observed.
