LOS ANGELES, Jan. 4.—The attend- ance at the present race meeting at the new Ascot Park has been far be- low what the promoters of that enter- prise had hoped for and there is a doubt as to whether the meeting will be a financial success.<One causg which the managers say has contrillited to the present conditions is their failure to induce the Beard of Supervisors to issue a liquor license tc the park, and throughout the meeting there has been |no bar in operation there. Only soft | drinks have been sold, and if a patron | needed or wanted stronger drinks he either had to take it there with him or borrow it from somebody who did | g0 tMis armed. It is now proposed to form a sep- arate town of Ascot, to have it regu- | larly incorporated, and thus be enabled | to control such privileges as are usual- GRIEF ASCOT. | Iy under the police control of munici- | pal corporations. The new track is | Just outside the city boundary and it |is proposed to take a section of coun- try including the park and apply for incorporation as a city of the sixth class. Lucky Baldwin recently adopted this plan with his big ranch at Arcadia and now he is the Mayor and owner of | the town of that name. The proposi- | tion will be presented to the Board of Supervisors and if a sufficlent number of signatures appear to the petition | the board will have to grant it. The | plan is to make the new municipality |like Emeryville, so that Los Angeles | city and the county government as weil | will have no control over the new mu- nicipality. If the plan carries the man- agers of the new track hope for better returns from future race meets. B BB — ADVERTISENENTS.

First---Incubator Downs Daisy Green geles yesterday. If clocking counts for anything Prince | Brutus and Henry Ach looked to have the others up their sleeve. Bullman had the mount on Prince Brutus, and the Cameron entry opened favorite. There was such a steady play on Henry Ach, though, that the latter had first call at post time. Once in Jake Holtman's hands, the barrier etiquette of the elev- en youngsters elicited much favorable sent away to a perfect start. Henry | Ach quickly showed in the lead, and while Prince Brutus once headed him opposite the paddock the Schreiber colt appeared to better advantage in the sloppy footing, and under Burns’ strong handling earned the decision by a head | in :36—a remarkably fast run consider- {ing the condition of the track.

Willie See on Steve Judge's horse Bard Burns took the first event, a five and a half furlong scramble, at odds of to 1. The 20 to 1 shot Goddess of Night, with Sammy Greenfield in the saddle, made all the running and was only beaten out a neck. Flyer, a 40 to 1 shot, finished third. Planet ruled fa- vorite at 2% to 1, and Smith’s handling by Milt Jones, ran a | that of a Chinese operatic star endeav- oring to reach high C. Last time Constable started Foley was at the wheel and he docked last of the fleet. Donovan rode the gelding in the third race yesterday and, at odds of 15 to 1, skinned down on the rail, beating out Billy Moore half a length | at the wire. If McKinnon had not bus- ied himself trying to jump out of the saddle Tom Slavin, which finished third, would have scored. Nullah ruled a mild favorite, and at last accounts had not been sighted. Possibly her cargo shift- ed and Captain Larsen may come in on the ebb tide to-day. H An analysis of the mud convinced | the experts that it was just Daisy Green's number, and the Eastern mare was strenuously backed to suppress In- cubator ard the balance of the com- pany starting in the mile and a six- teenth event. She made all the run- ning, but Incubator held her safe from the turn home, Tommy Burns landing the Van Meter entry first by more than a length. Our Bessle cannot run in the mud, finishing fourth, ten lengths be- hind Leader. Albemarle finally struck a track to his liking and registered an easy win- ner of the seven-furlong number, fifth on the card. The gelding had but 99 pounds up and, at odds of § to 1, soon assumed the lead and was never ex- tended. Colonel Van, played from 5 down to 13 to 5 favoritism, ran second and Sugden came on from the rear, se- curing show honors. Walter Jennings' mare Nigrette, a 3 to 5 chance around post time, made short work of her fleld in the closing mile and a furlong selling run. Kunz had the leg up and, taking his mount out in front at the start, won all the way. Position got the place very hand- ily from Rosarie. ey L NOTES OF THE TRACK. Tommy Burns and Kunz each piloted two winners. Pinkerton, which won the two-year- old race at Los Angeles yesterday in the Schreiber colors, is a son of Sain. Los Angeles, from all accounts, is a bit shy on racing material, there being only about 350 horses stabled at the new track. A two-year-old half-sister to Diderot, owned by the colored trainer ‘“‘Mid- night,” jumped the track fence yester- day, breaking a shoulder. She was later destroyed. On Wednesday Jockey Hildebrand will undergo an operation for deafness. Jigrette, winner of the last race, was bid up from $500 to $1000 by J. Weber, trainer of Position. Walter Jennings ROOMS 1, 2 and 3, |- 5428 Hipponax (Lane) bid the usual $5 to retain. The stakes of the New Louisville 1 Jockey Club close on January 16.

Coroner Kyser took:| charge of the body and a jury has rendered a verdict of accdental drown- ing. Christiansen went on deck to see that a passing vessel did not in- Jjure his schooner, but lost his balance and fell overboard. He was a native of Denmark; aged 27 years. To-day ‘| the remains were shipped to San Francisco for interment, as it is there that Christiansen’s relatives live. ATTELL DRAWS WITH FORBES Ten Round Contest Almost Brings Defeat to the Lit- tle Fighter From California INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Jan. 4 —Harry Forbes and Abe Attell sparred ten rounds to a draw here to-night. The men fought fiercely in the last five rounds, but the seven-ounce gloves used prevented much damage. Forbes was the aggressor in the first few rounds, and after the sixth added strength and punching power to his skill at defense. He made such a vigor- ous showing against Attell in the tenth round that many thought Forbes should have had the decision. —_——— DEL NORTE-BUHNE CASE UNDER !NVES’!’IGATION Captain Dannevig of the Schooner Swears That the Steamer’s Of- ficers Were Negligent. United States Local Inspectors Bolles and Bulger began an investiga- tion yesterday into the sinking of the schooner Mary Buhne on December 18, near Humboldt Bar, after being run into by the steamer Del Norte. A. Falk, a member of the crew of the steamer, was drowned while one of the lifeboats was being lowered. Captain Frederick Nordberg, master of the Del Norte, testified that he was in charge of the watch at the time of the wreck and had an extra man on the lookout, as the night was dark and no stars visible. He said further that the port light of the schooner was not burning brightly and that, in fact, the light was not visible until the ship could be seen. M. Dannevig, master of the Buhne, swore on the other hand that the schooner’s lights were burning and properly placed. TIn addition he dis- played a flare light when he observed the lights of the steamer zt midnight, forty minutes’ before the collision oc- curred. The night, though dark, was clear and he saw the steamer eight miles ahead. He asserted that the collision was due to the negligence of the master and grew of the Del Norte.

The session was mostly devoted to the dis- cussion of minor incidents of the league and nothing of importance was done. By a unanimous vote the man- agers decided to adopt the playing rules of the American League of 1902. A strict ruling was made against | 2ny captain or manager that attempts to take his team off the field during the coming season while a game of buaseball is in progress. For such an | offense the captain or manager thus | offending will be immediately fined by | the president of the league. The fine | will be at least $300 and may be more, ‘ according to the nature of the offense committed. No umpires have as yet been se- lected for the coming season. By a vote ‘of the executive committee it was decided to allow the president of the league to select the handlers of | the indicators. These men will proba- bly be named within the next few days and in all probability Jack | O’Connell, Jim McDonald and Rube | Levy will be awarded the places, though there may be a surprise in/| store for some one. All teams of the league must wear white uniforms while playing on the home grounds during. the season of 1904. It is left to the managers of the various clubs to select any color of uniform they please while their team is on the road. The schedule committee was in- structed to start work on a skeleton schedule at once and report to the board of managers regarding the fix- ing of playing dates during the ap- proaching season., The committee will prepare a report and make known its contents within the next few days. —_———— MORE POLICEMEN NEEDED OUT NEAR THE PRESIDIO | Attack on Mrs. Carney by Negro Sol- dier the Natural Result of Pre- * vailing Conditions. The attack on Mrs. Joha M. Carney near the Presigio Sunday night, when she was slashed with a razor by negro soldier, has aroused the resi- dents of that section of the city. More adequate police protection is demand- ed, as the few patrolmen on duty in that neighborhood are declared to be | wholly inadequate to afford protection. | A well-known citizen voiced the | prevailing sentiment in that locality | last night when he declared that the tolerance of the scenes that are night- ly enacted on the cars running out to the Presidio is an outrage on decency. Respectable women who are forced to patronize the cars aftet 9 o'clock at night are insulted. with impunity by drunken and insolent soldiers, who re- spect neither age nor sex. Conductors and gripmen are powerless and police- men are never to be found. Mrs. Carney was severely but for- tunately not fatally cut. Her assailant is a member of Company L, Ninth Cavalry. He is still at large, although Major Bigelow Jr. and the police are making every effort to apprehend him. —_————— Opposes Farnham’s Accounts. Fred M.
