THE MORXIXG OREGOXIAX. TUESDAY. OCTOBER 16, 1917. 15 SAMMY CAN'T SEE RAGES AT TIA JUANA 35,000 Enlisted Men Near San Diego Not Allowed to Cross Line. MEET BEGINS NOVEMBER 29 Corfrotli Promises More Racing Days Than Last Year, More Horses, More Purses, and Says This Will Be Best Meet. BT HARRY -M. GRAYSON'. SAX DIEGO, Cal.. Oct. 15. (Special.) James Wood Coffroth is -worried. Kow don't get it into your head that "Sunshine Jim has lost his cheery disposition. The president of the Low er California Jockey Club merely hates to see in the neighborhood of 35.000 enlisted men in San Diego .and none of them allowed to journey 15 miles south to Tia Juana when the 100 or more days' racing commences Thanksgiving Day. Thursday, November 29. "It's a big wonder you wouldn't in vite me down to the track and allow me to give the new decorations the double-O," I yelped at Jim the other day while he blew the smoke of a ciga rette ceilingward in his office in the Spreckels Theater building. A lot of fancy trimmings have been put on the Tia Juana speedway. The most successful boxing promoter In the West gazed at my khaki field uniform. Finally he burst forth: Soldiers Forbid to Cross Line. "It it had rained cats and dogs the day of any of my big fights in and around San Francisco I couldn't have been in as bad a fix as I am going to be this season at Tia Juana." he re plied. "Why. if I took you across the line to Mexico you'd be picking daisies on .nare iiana lor a spew, aii or tne boys will get the same dose if they come down, so it looks as if they will have to go without racing this season." Picking daisies is a Marine term for x police work. Prisoners are usually employed thusly. Coffroth realizes there isn't-a chance to make arrangements whereby en listed men will be allowed to cross the border. The War Department forbid this when war was declared. Within a few days there will be So, 000 or more enlisted men in the im mediate vicinity of this beautiful city. Camp Kearney, 15 miles north, is a cantonment where 30.000 National Guardsmen from Southwestern states will soon be located. The big aviation school is Just across San Diego Bay on North Island. Approximately 2500 sailors are training at the Naval Re cruit Depot In Balboa Park, the Fair Grounds, where 500 Marines also have their tents pitched. The California Coast Artillery is doing guard duty on North Island and at other points around San Diego while a company of cavalry is located at Imperial Beach. And not one of them can enjoy Jim my Coffroth's great running races. No wonder he cusses. Coffroth Rxperta Big Tear. Another issue James W. grows peev ish over is the fact that a good many Kan Diego young fellows, Angelenos ann otner Eoiiinern taJiioriuans nave been called to Camp Iewis, American I.ake. in the National Army. Of course many more have arrived in "these here digein s." but they are clad in Pershing scenery, which won't blend very well with the colorful wonder citv situated at the jointure of the two Californias. The smooth-tongued Coffroth lias a Kick coining. Don t you think so? Despite the "enlisted man setback Coffroth expects his greatest year at Tia Juana. Tourists who hnve former Jy spent their dough-ray-me abroad will come to San Diego. Coronado and Tia Juana this Winter to play the Pari Mutucl system and visit the pictur esque towns on the American Itiviera. rrl Monte Meet He-gins O. tolier 27. Promoter Coffroth has already out lined 10 big events with purses total ing $22,900. Other .stakes will be opened later on, T . c rp w ill ! o six or more races each day. There v.a.s $.10", in purses and Flakes distributed at Tia Jiina d urine: the season of 1U6 1917. This was the largest amount paid b any track in the world. There were 1-j davb of racing. Jimmy Coff roth says there'll be more monev dis tributed. more, days of racing aiul more horses started thi season titan last. And Coffroth'fcs word, is as good as liberty bond. The Irish magnate leaves hero on Thtirsdav for San Francisco. From the seal Kocks city lie will hike to Tel -Monte to supervise tho benefit meet therfr commencing October '11. The proceeds of t !i is meet will jro to the Christmas fund for the Sammies al ready in Franco. MAILS ROILS !'GI1E0IE JUICE DECLARES THAT FORMEH BEAVER IS FALSIFIEn, Ex-Portland flayer Cornea Forth In Seattle With Story of M hy He Qnlt Beater Crew. Judge William "Wallace McCredie takes exception to a recent interview given to h Seattle newspaper man by Walter Mails, former erratic southpaw of the Portland Heavers, who deserted the Portland team just when it needed ins services most. Mails is quoted as giving out the fol lowing story: "An Oakland paper re cently repoi ted me as going to join the Heavers and aid them in their final Ftruggle for a Coast League pennant Positively false. Absolutely wrong. I wouldn't join the Portland club if it were the last club on earth and I wa faced with a choice uf baseball or working lor a living. "Judge McOredle and I argued over n contract for a month. He wanted to pay me tor tending bats, not pitch ing. Finally I jumped the club and he tent his nephew, Hugh, after me. 1 gave in and aid I'd j-in the club, and For Sc you get a real 1 0-center Try one HART CIGAR CO, Distributors. lortland. then I'll be jiggered if be didn't want me to pay my own fare to Los Anpeles. Can you beat that for being: a tightwad? "And can you imasrine me helping out a jruy like that? No, sir. I'm goin;? to stay rierht here in Seattle until uncle Sam needs me, and then I'll hike for France." When advised of the interview, Judge McCredie waxed hot under the collar and said he didn't expect anything else irora Mails. "Mails is a liar when he says we asked him to pay his way to Los An- preles to join the club," said Judgre Mc Credie. "The entire story is false. w rtiii nrn inr numr I HinLtitd ant: tiUui BOXING AND MUESTLIXO CLASSES OPEX FOR WINTER. Ad A.
