Clouds of gasoline smoke rolled ma
jestically through the ozone near First

o'clock. 1t wasn't common gasoline
smoke, but the deadly exhaust of an
auto motor.
Shortly afterward came the sound of

On the southwest corner stood a lunch
wagon crowded to it's capacity. AS the
fumes fioated in, the ham sandwiches
turned over on the shelves. Coffee cups
moved uneasily, three big Spanish ta-
males were so fear-stricken that the
chile pepper pod froze in the wrappers
and three dozen storage eggs scrambled
into a sherry flip for safety.
Slowly the atmosphere severed and

newsboy was hurled against the brick
wall, the lunch wagon was barely
missed and SS1, with it's chauffeur, was
on the walk. 1t was half overturned,
and two women who had occupied the
rear seat jumped to save themselves.
In a moment all was confusion and a
mob gathered about the machine
Curses filled the air. The newsboy
limped away unheeded while the angry
crowd gathered closer about the ma

was righted and the occupants regained
their seats. Two policemen made way
for the speed maniac.
Twas merely an automobile running
wild, for once undirected with malicious
design against the careers of the
pedestrian.

Belts ADMITS IDENTITY
MorIey's mysterious Mr.. Brown" is
Known in st. Louis as "Hand-
some Harold"

All doubt as to the identity of Nor
ley's latest find in the twirling line
-Brown-was dispelled yesterday by
the receipt by The Herald of a tele~
gram from Harold M. Belts at San
Francisco in which he says: TITS me
all right, No publicity until receipt
my letter"
Belts, alias Handsome Harold" and
not Brown, therefore, Is his name and
baseball fans may be able to dope"
the value OF Morley's acquisition as a
pitcher and baseball player.
AS stated in The Herald yesterday,
Belts is barely out of his teens" but
has had much experience on the slab
in professional ranks, having been in
"tolerably' fast company for the past
three years.
Should Morley be able to keep Belts
in curb at critical stages of the game,
spike his head on his shoulders and
break his erratic habits, he has an ex-
cellent man. Otherwise, the expert
ment will prove a failure.
When going at his best, Belts pos
sesses a world of speed exhibits good
judgment and plays the game. He Is
subject to erratic fits, however, at
which times he is unable to throw a
ball nearer to the plate than third base
and goes on an aerial voyage from
whence he seldom returns until after
the score Is in tabulated form.
He is above the average pitcher in
batting, and in this regard will prove
satisfactory.

Avoid a Fine of SIS, Which He
Promises to Pay

w. A. Peck, a youth connected with
an automobile house, was arrested yes
terday afternoon by Officer Varey for
driving about without a number on his
machine. When captured he was go
ing down Main street at a lively clip,
attracting attention by his peculiar at
titudes, half seated in the rear and half
leaning out of it. Policeman Varey
noticed that the number was missing.
When questioned Peck explained that
he had just taken the car out of the
repair shop and was trying it out.
"That sounds very well, but can you
account to me for the absence of a
number on your machine; don't you
know that you are guilty of violating
the automobile ordinance? asked Officer
Varey.

You thought it was, did you?" asked
Patrolman Varey, Il guess I'll just
take little jaunt down to the station
with you. Just imagine that this is
the municipal omnibus; let her go, Mr..
Chauffeur"
When arraigned before Police Judge
Austin, Peck said that he truly be-
lieved" that the number was on the
machine when he left the garage.

asked Judge Austin.
Yes, sir; and what's more, showed

He did that, did he ofticer?" said the

yes, he showed me an eye-ring,"
said the officer.
"Well, I'll let you off easy this time,
Peck. I'll fine you S. and warn you
to be a little careful in the future"
Peck went all through his pockets,

BILLY BELL is TWICE SORE
Wrestler-PugIist Is Still Wearing the
Green Over His Lamp, but De-
nies Report of Defeat

Billy Bell is toting a gem in the form
OF sadly demolished eye, and this is
his trophy of the little affair between
him and RUDE Jeffries Tuesday night.
Bell was sore in two places yester-
day, one of which was the optical pain
and the other was in the region of his
heart. Billy says that he was far
from being whipped when the fight was
terminated to save him from further
punishment He remarks that he was
merely stalling to gain time for the
recovery of his vision, RUDE having
rudely extinguished his light with that
unheard of jolt from the right beam.
Accomplishing his plan of battle, he
says, he would have hurried through
Rubes career in rag time and carried
away the palms of victory. He insin-
yates that he is Rube's superior and
would ask for another fight with him,
but fears the public would have a
wrong impression of his ability and yell
derisively at any efforts he might make
towards terminating the husky JEFF
fries pugilistic fame.
Billy asserts that he was dazed by
the thunderbolt upon his left optic,
but if he had been permitted to stall
out the round he would have been as
fresh as a daisy and would have won
the fight.
While this statement was issuing to
the astounded spectators, ris!bilities
were suppressed with Indifferent sue
cess, but Billy continued:
"I am sore and 1 don't make no
bones of it. If l had been let alone
what I'd a done to RUDE would have
been a dirty outrage. 1 wasn't whipped
and I am here to declare that when
ever a knockout is coming to me l
want it without any interference. L
like RUDE, but can lick him"
From opinions expressed by students
of the game yesterday, it will be sew
eral hours before Billy will be accomo-
dated with a return match with the
Rube

months. Manager McCarey is develop
ing plans for bringing several Of the
topnotchers together and the grand
finale of the series is expected to be a
battle for the worlds heavyweight
championship, to be held in the early
spring.
Manager McCarey is considering an
alteration of present plans that he may
carry out the program which he now
has under consideration. This change
is considered because of the desire of
Tommy Ryan to get on with the Win
ner of the Sullivan Burns fight.
The program now is to match Ryan
with the winner Of this fight and If
he is successful, match him with Jack
O'Brien. Regardless of who wins in
the fight with Ryan, O'Brien will be
matched against the victor.

SCRAPPING N0TABLES ARE
EXPECTED TO COME TODAY
MIKE SULLIVAN AND HERRERA
ARE DUE
Training Quarters at Pacific Athletic
Club Pavilion and North Beach,
Santa Monica, Looking for Lively
Times When Fighters Get In

Things pugilistic will begin ripping
at a lively rate today, when Mike
Twin" Sullivan of Boston, Aurelio
Herrera and other fight notables are
expected to arrive for indefinite stays
in the Angel City.
Brother Mike is coming across the
continent to assist Brother Jack in pre-
pairing for his scrimmage with Tom
my Burns, October II.
This is his primary object in coming,
but 1t is said that he considers him
self the best man In the world and
whispers this information so audibly
that he is liable to be called before he
returns to the city of baked beans.
Mike is so incensed that the "au-
thentic" records show him to have sus-
tanned the short end of the purse on
five different and distinct OCCASIONS
that he mutters about il in his sleep.
He asserts that he is the only, real,
genuine. name blowed-in-the-b ac-
cept-no-substitute fighter in the bust
ness and offers a substantial reward
to any person who can disprove his
statement that he has never been
licked"
Herrera is expected to arrive today
to begin training for his fight with Ed
die Hanlon November 3, Herrera will
train at the pavilion with Sullivan.
Hanlon is also expected to get in
within the next few days and will be-
gin training at the North Beach bath
house. Santa Monica, with Burns.
Next week will see Burns, Hanlon
and Zubrick in active training at Santa
Monica, and Sullivan, Herrera, Broth
err Mike, Jack Johnson and Al Kauff-
man loafing or training at the pavilion.
Sullivan is expecting to have the as
sistance of Jack Johnson in his train
ing, because OF the dusky champion
cleverness and lightning speed. 1t is
probable that Jack Arthur will assist
in preparing Sullivan after today.

Reception to Gen. Brewer
Court Quotations on Kisses

A Virginia police justice has placed
the price of stolen kisses at $40, In
Missouri the last court quotation is $685.
In New York a recent kisser was fined
$40. What constitutes an unwilling
kiss? The kisses which the girl at
least pretends to resist are many. In
the Virginia case the girl was kissed
in the presence of her married sister.
If the fine was imposed for the con-
duct of the young man in kissing be-
fore a witness it could be justified, but
the mere fact that the girl protests is
not always strong evidence that the
kiss is unwelcome.

zUBRICK TO MEET "THE RUBE'
SuIIlvan-Burns Preliminary Attraction
May Be Arranged Between
These Serappers

If McCarey's plans do not miscarry
Warren Zubrick and RUDE Jeffries will
be one of the preliminary attractions
for the Sullivan Burns battle.
Zubrick has been hankering for some
excitement to repay him for his trip
across the continent to aid Burns in
his preparations, and it is said that the
Jeffries stock scared out of sight after
the short and successful encounter with
Wrestler BELLS aspirations Tuesday
night.
Both will be accommodated, and they
will probably enter the ring at about
1876 pounds, although Jeffries is hold
ing out the hope that he may be per-
tnitted to elevate the beam somewhere
in the neighborhood of 100 or 165.

The contest will give the first oppor-

watched by the followers of the various
teams.
u. S. C. had no trouble in rolling up
2S points against the soldiers Wednes-

tice than Holmes men.
Occidental will present the best team
that has represented the school in some
years, the line especially being very
strong.
From tackle to tackle the men will
average about 175, and are remark
ably fast for their weight. The back
field will average 1855.
Petty, the big guard, will be out of
the game on account of injuries. Burt,
an old standby, will take care of Pet

Behind the line Northcross will make
his first appearance in an Occidental
suit, and is expected to live up to his
reputation as one of the best players
in Southern California.
Marshall, the Arizona man, will play
at half. In practice he has shown all
the earmarks of a football star and
tomorrow will have a chance to show
what he can do in a game.
Coach Merrill kept his men on the

pressed himself as well pleased with

off the Chicago American League base
ball team and drive the final spike in
the latter's aspirations for the 1905
pennant when the coveted piece of
bunting was almost within it's grasp,
and to give Philadelphia a clear title
to the American league championship.
Almost as remarkable as the now his
tcric burst of speed displayed by Chi
cago on it's last eastern trip was the
reversal of form of the locals when
they drove DR.. White, manager Jones'
premier pitcher from the box in the
third inning and showed the visiting
team under an avalanche of hits and
runs. practically clinching the game
which they finally won by a score of
6 to 2. With two runs already counted
in the fatal third, Manager Jones start
ed to substitute Walsh for White. There
was a hurried consultation and Jones
gave White another opportunity. The
next two st. Louis men to face the
Chicago pitcher hit safely, Tom Jones
for a double and Koehler for a home
run. Walsh was then sent in and held
the locals safely the remainder of the
game, but the damage was done. At
