Editorial Correspondence
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 23.
meet a Panama-Pacifio boat
the canal. But no one would believe it. The entire sporting
world was moving on L. A. to see the $100,000 Santa Anita
handicap on Washington's birthday, so the country editor from
Oregon was among them, by acclamation. ,
At Fresno a group of horse
tram and from that time until
with race track dope, to which
S. P. veteran of 40 years service liberally contributed. Th
conductor had put $50 on a parley ticket, with Discovery, Time
Supply and Top Row, coming in first, second and third, and he
could think or talk about nothing else. He said they were the
pick of the field, and no one disputed it. He had a pocket full
of the latest racing dope and quoted a score of Santa Anita
dupeslers who picked the ponies to come in, in this exact order.
The porter had a ticket for Discovery on the nose, and he joined
in the conversation. One of the new arrivals was an ex-jockey,
now owner of a horse ranch in the San Joaquin valley (so he
said) it looked to him, like a runaway for Discovery, and he
would give $100 for the conductor's parley, but no cash was put
up. The only dissenter as far as Discovery was concerned was
a shoe salesman from Oakland, who admitted the Vanderbilt
entry was good, tut why put any money on him, a heavy
favorite only trading dollars he was looking for a good long
shot, and liked the looks of Thursday "Thursday" across the
bonrd, THURSDAY would look good on SATURDAY, etc., etc.
Well Thursday did ! The Panama-Pacific, boat was held up by
fog, so we followed the line of least resistance and followed the
crowd to the big race- It was not unlike the "big game."
Everything in the Los Angeles area (which as frequently stated
covers a lot of territory) was moving toward what was once
Lucky Baldwin's potato patch, and is now one of the largest
and finest and most popular race tracks in the country; A
steady stream of motor cars on every highv.-ay, special trains to
the gate, and even airplanes, with a new landing field nearby.
The gates opened at nine o'clock, the first race didn't start
until one and the big race was due at four. . But at 11 a. m.
outside of the club house for members only, and the reserved
scats, everything was jammed. The beer and hot dog stands
were doing a thriving business. So was the manager's office
under the grandstand, guarded by policemen, motor cops' and
a squad of Pinkertons next door. We just happened along.
Seeing the crowd, hearing the noise, observing all the minions
of the law we thought an impromptu fist fight was being staged.
Not far off at that. Actual hostilities had not broken out but a
group of irate customers who could not get seats, were demand
ing satisfaction. Their spokesman was a heavy set gentleman,'
middle aged, hair disheveled,
accent.
"Dcse is getting money under false pree-TENZ" he shouted,
gif us seats or giff us de money back 1"
A window opni'd in the wall like a window in a speakeasy
-and a calm, dignified voice announced:.
"Sorry, but there hasn't been a grandstand seat available
since .Tunnary 1st." The window
'Money under false prec-tenze
shaking his fist while the crowd
me my lawyer!'1
The policeman at the door
"Cume on boys and girls move on, 'you can't get. any seats if
they haven't any. Plenty of places to sit down. You can't stay
around here anymore, and as
and sundry othpr officers of
gently but firmly closing in.
It took some kidding and jostling to get the irate spokesman
to break ground, but the others quickly dispersed, and he finally
followed them still talking about his falso "pree-TENZ".
k,
This was the only untoward incident observed during the
day, outside of one drunk who with legs dangling like a couple
of pieces of creamed spaghetti, was given the bum's rush down
the stairs and to the nearest first aid station, by a couple of
motor cops with broad grins on their faces. But what a mob!
Except for the enclosure across the track reached by an under
ground subway, we!l policed, where one could sit on a settee or
lis on the green rnin-sonked grass, (with no view of the finish
line) it was everywhere the same like trying to get a seat in
a special train, after the Stanford-Cal. game. As for betting
on the big race, all records were broken nearly $500,000 put on
that race alone, but we venture to say, another $50,000 was not
placed because it was too much work to got in the line. Never
saw so much money flying around. men and women with rolls
of paper mouey, 20'g and 50's in their hand and half of them
didn't look as though they had over filled out an income tax
blank. All in all however, it was a great spectacle, the crowd
was good natured, everyone was having a good time and the
weather man certainly did his stuff, holding off on the rain
and turning on a little sunshine now and then, until the $100,000
handicap had been run.
No doubt all movie land was there but we were too busy
trying to see the horses, to look them up. Did run into Doug
Fairbanks and his son Doug Jr., and Kay Krnncis, all looking
very fit we should say tho Papa Doug's top hnir is getting
mighty thin.
There is one advantage in having no money on a hoss race,
you can really enjoy the race, instead of straining to keep your
eye on a certain number We were lucky enough to get a good
spot and did enjoy that heart breaking struggle tremendously.
Half a million dollars is a good deal to pay for a little over two
minutes of thrill, yet those two minutes were certainly packed
with'tense excitement and drama. For some reason which per
haps Dr Freud could explain, our interest and sympathies were
concentrated upon the old horse Azucar, "sweet sugar", winner
last year, and not given a chance this. In fact in the advance
dope he was never even mentioned, and in pushing around the
crowd we never heard him mentioned either. "Oh Azuenr, a
twelve yenr old steeple chaser the hoy was all through!"
But we know better. In fact we will stake our reputation
as a race track dnpesler PAR EXCELLENCE, that had the
Santa Anita handicap been just '.'00 yards farther, Azui-Br not
Top Row would have had that, floral horse shoe put about his
neck, and his handsome head in the news reels. For this is
certain. at the finish he was moving faster than any other
qiiiidruped in the picture, and at that he got his number on
the electric score board, crowding Roseinount who was'headed
only by Time Supply and the winner. Far in the rear at the
start, lmw that old plug did shuflle his hoofs, as the race went
on, and what a fighting heart he has! We couldn't take our
glasses off him. It had till the appeal and stark drama of Jack
Dempsey'a second effort to stage a comeback he came in
fourth, WHAT a fighter I
filad we had no eat It gave us a roaming assignment. Just
bcfi.re the bit; race the utilities were especially interesting. An
old World's Fair pass got us through the lines. We looked
them all over. the greatest horses in the country. And the
precautions taken, every stable guarded by police dogs or
savage locking buPs, automatic fire alarms set, on the trigger,
handlers tip toeing about, tense and taciturn, the horses them
selves, sleek and unconcerned. on looks alone Thursday im
pressed us above all others. Discovery was the most disap
pointing in appearance but we have seen enough of horse races
to know, the last thing races are won on, is appearances. ,
As we tjlej out the lonj delated rain started, and by the

tor's part In this treatment Is by no

Is the Idea, It Is scarcely worth while.
The doctor should keep watch on the

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FHANK JENKINS
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT, departing
from precedent and writing per
sonally to the heads of Latln-Amerl
can republics (Instead of taking the
matter up deviously through dlplo
matlo channels) urges them to meet
sround a council table, at Buenos
Aires or elsewhere, and "erect a peace
machine that will outlaw war . for
ever."
A GAINST much that President
Roosevelt has done which Is
BAD (either Intentionally' or not),
set up this effort to keep the peace
In the Americas, which Is TREMEN
DOUSLY GOOD in Intent.
If war can be kept out of the
Western Hemisphere, the future can
not help but be bright. ' ;
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. In effect,
proposes an American league of
nations whose purpose will be to
keep the peace in American coun
tries. '
It might work. North and South
America are not yet steeped In the
hatreds that make Europe a cockpit.
The American countries, north and
south, have opportunities enough of
their own. without having to go out
and TAKE THEM away from their
neighbors.
It might be possible for them to
get' together and agree sincerely and
honestly not to fight among them
selves. H
FIRST, of course. It will be neces
sary to convince the Latin-Ameri
can countries that the United States
la sincere in Its peace talk and has
no thought, now or ever, of grabbing
any more territory.
In the past, that has been doubt
ful, for we HAVE grabbed territory
here and there Texas, for example,
and California, and then the Philip
pines. And we haven't been at all
sure ourselves that we wouldn't want
to grab more.
But by this time we're pretty well
convinced that we've got all the ter
ritory we can posslblye manage and
wouldn't know what to do with any
more.
If we can convince the Latin
American countries that we really
feel that way about It, we won't have
a great deal of trouble getting along
with them.
IP THE United States Is enticed Into
a EUROPEAN league of nations, It
will be used to pull European chest
nuts out of every fire that Is lighted.
But a league of nations of our own,
here ' In the Western Hemisphere,
might not be a bad Idea.
HERE Is a dlrectquotation from a
Callfornlan who left his state
to visit his wife's mother In Wash
ington and then tried to get back
home. He tried three times, but each
time waa turned back at the border
by the Loa Angeles foreign legion
What happened the third time, he de
scribes In these words:
"They stopped me again. They
beat my ribs with police clubs and
knocked my teeth out as they
chased me Into Oregon."
Thla man says he haa lived In Cali
fornia 30 years, is a licensed construc
tion engineer, an ex-service man and
owns property In Riverside and Los
Angeles counties.

IP YOU think you can beat that In
the way of something weird, you'd
better go ahead and try.
For 40 years, or thereabouts. South
ern California has reached out and
grabbed 'em wherever she could find
'em. Now she belabors their ribs with
police clubs and knocks their teeCb
out aa she chases 'em over the border
to get rid of 'cm.
After thst. can ANYTHING ever
surprise us again?

Nevertheless. It has stirred up far
more than a local commotion Inside
conftre.M and WPA headquarters. No
definite cheek has been made, but
there are supposed to be half a

country who are candidates for state
offices Trom Rovernor down. They
are said to be administering rellet

poses. The WPA crowd here wishes Holt

Therefore, as a practical matter, In
their own Interests, they have begun
looking around for a second choice
tn whom they have confidence.
A trustworthy po"eal historian

the bosses never lose In an Ohio

The most Interesting story behind
the McMullen courtmartlal never
came out. ; It was burled In briefs
which defense counsel bsd on the

get Into the record. Consequently,
no one Is mentioning the matter
publicly. Just yet, although you may
hear about It soon.
The story centers sround the or
ganization of a company In 1832
to obtain a contract from the war
department for the purchase of sur
plus goods, and Its subsequent ef
forts to get the contract amended.

To the Editor:
You can preach from the housetops
until doomsday, safe and' sane driv
ing of sn automobile, and that Is
all the good It will do. Just as long
as you are furnishing the ammuni
tion for the reckless driver to kill
and destroy with.
Tou give him a high-powered car.
and then load him up with etate
owned whiskey and start him on the
road to destruction. When he does
have an accident, what Is done? A
lot more of your safe and sane talk
Is spread out to make the people
believe there are great things being
done to enforce the law,
I am not blaming the officers who
patrol the highways. They have lots
of highways to patrol and cannot be
everywhere at once. It la a very dan
gerous Job for an officer to stop a
cat and go up to It in the dark, as
he never knows what will happen
when he does. And after he does,
and takes his prisoner Into court,
I don't need to tell you what hap
pens In a great many cases. There
should be a law (yes, one more law
would not hurt anything) that any
driver caught under the influence of
liquor should be given a six months'
Jail sentence and deprived of his
driver's license for one year, and to
pay all damage he might do.
All cars should be equipped with
governors so that they could not be
run so fast.
Any Judge showing partiality should
be debarred from his office.
