TAKE NO ACTION
ON SCH0OLH0USES
CITIZENS ARE ONCE MORE DIS
APPOINTED
Merchants Make Vigorous Protest
Against What They Style Gross
Injustice in Submitting
Specifications

The expected election of the new
superintendent of schools, Prof. E.
G. Moore, did not occur at the
meeting of the board of education
last evening 1t was shown that Mr..
Moore had not obtained a legal resi-
dence in this city required for the
formal election. The election will take
place at the next meeting, June II.
Another thing which was anxiously
awaited by many citizens was some
action of the board regarding bids for
school buildings, and they were dis
appointed, as there was nothing done
in that direction.
A strip of land twenty-five feet wide
had been offered the board adjoining
the Vermont avenue school. The build
ing committee was authorized to have
it appraised and if satisfactory the
president and secretary were to sign
warrant for the same.
A vigorous protest was authorized by
the board against the establishment of
a saloon which had been applied for
Within 200 feet of the school house at
Twelfth and Tennessee streets.
Dealers Make Protests
B. f. Hulse of the Machinery and
Electrical company of Los Angeles pre-
sented before the board the facts that
the purchasing committee in its speci-
fications calling for supplies for the
Polytechnic high school barred COM
petitors on most articles specified by
calling for goods of a certain make
which could be procured only from the
manufacturer of that particular make.
In one instance mentioned was the
paragraph calling for forges, blast fan
and exhaust fan of the Buffalo Forge
make.
The Machinery and Electrical COM
pany is agent for the B. f. Sturtevant
company of Boston, who manufacture
a line of forges and exhausters of ex-
actly the same type called for in the
specifications but could not bid, as only
Buffalo forge apparatus were specified.
This firm did not receive a copy of
these specifications until yesterday,
while bids are called for on June 1.
This would not admit of sufficient time
in which to compile the proper bids, as
many of the articles called for would
require estimates from it's eastern fac
tories.
The board took no action on this
question, although the seeming injuS-
tice was forcibly put before the mem
bers from the standpoint of the dealers.
The committee on course of study
recommended that the title of George
L. Leslie, now head of the science de-
partmenC OF the Los Angeles city
schools, be changed to director of
science departments and that his duties
be defined as supervisor of the science
of teaching. nature study and anthropo-
metric work, which was granted

diplomas were also ordered for the

Battle Is the First One Out of Five
Given by Tuxedo Club to Which
Authorities Have Entered Any
Objection

PHILADELPHIA, May 2S.-The Off
GERS of the Tuxedo Athletic club were
surprised when informed that Cover
nor Pennypacker had taken steps to
prevent the Fitzsimmons- Burns fight
at North Essington tomorrow night as
they had no intimation that there was
legal objection to the contest. 1t was
learned tonight that the governor had
ordered the superintendent of the state
constabulary to prevent the fight at
The request of District Attorney Nc
Dade of Delaware county.
Sheriff Mcclure had no official in
formation on the subject and was much
surprised to hear of the governors s
action. The sheriff said the club had
not violated the law through the box
ing bouts heretofore held by the club
and he could not understand why the
governor should interfere in the mat
ter without first communicating with
him as the official peace officer of the
county.
Tom O'Rourke of New York, presi-
dent of the club, was not here tonight,
and other officers of the organization
Gid not know what action the club
would take. Some weeks ago when the
miles from this city, was opened the
principals in twenty-round fight were
arrested on the charge of carrying on
a prize fight but were discharged by
a justice Of the peace because of lack
of evidence. Since then the club has
given three twenty-round bouts.

SKATING RACE INTERRUPTED
Scheduled Match on Wheels Stopped
by Breaking of One Mans
Skates

The scheduled championship race at
the Panorama skating rink last night
was called off, owing to the breaking
of one of the wheels of the skates used
by Tom Doody, who was in the lead at
the time of the accident.
The skaters had made three circuits
of the rink with Tom Doody in the
lead from the beginning. While round
ing one of the corners one of the
wheels of Doody's right skate broke.
The judges Immediately declared the
race off. postponing it indefinitely.
While it is not yet certain when the
race will be run, it will probably fol-
low the team race between the Pano-
rama and Dreamland rink teams,
which is scheduled to take place on
June 4.
For the latter race no rink has as
yet been selected. BY many of the
prominent patrons of the rinks of this
city it is believed that the Panorama
rink will be selected.

BASEBALL STILL

PARK OWNERS WANT BIG SUM
IN RENTALS
Unless Mecsrey Can Arrange for Res-
sonable Terms Of Lease on
Grounds, He viii Not
Finance Team

The expected acknowledgement of the
| coast league baseball situation in so
far as IL relates to Los Angeles was
not forthcoming yesterday, because
Tom McCarey had his hands full, and
then some, in disentangling the fight
inuddle and refunding the change to
l.the gallery gods who lost their seat
checks during the exciting moments
preceding the adjournment of the Mel
son-Herrera fizzle Friday night
The situation may therefore, be said
to remain unchanged. The Angels are
at Portland and presenting bargain
counter appearance against the Giants,
who are administering the unusual
trouncings every afternoon. They
have a home, but are homeless. No
one will claim them and no one seems
to be inordinately fond of playing the
angel" act IN financing TIE Remnants
through the season.
McCarey Is willing soul when it
comes to tackling sporting jobs that
others turn down, but said last night
that he would not be willing to add to
his. troubles by taking the Angelic
host under his financial wing until he
had some assurance that he could get
a park for the home games at terms
within reason.
Says Rentals Are Excessive
The stumbling block just now seems
to be the job of finding such place
for the local games. The management
of the Chutes park diamond is said
to have demanded n rental equivalent
to 20 per cent of the gross receipts,
which is deemed to be excessive and
beyond all bounds of reason, as 1t
would be impossible to pay such "a
rental and pull out even on the season
under the most favorable conditions.
If arrangements can be completed
whereby grounds are secured for the
home games on terms that are con-
sidered reasonable, McCarey will con-
the team. but only under these cir
cumstances will he undertake the job
All negotiations are off at this time
and will not be reopened until these ar
rangements can be perfected. McCarey
believes that by June / he will be in
a position to talk business with the
league representatives, and If his eX-
pectations are realized he will under
take the management of the homeless
tribe for the remainder of the season.
In the meantime the Angels will
continue in the league and play out
the schedule under the management of
the league officials An effort will be
made to strengthen the team so that
it will be placed again in its cham
pionship form and the team may be a
factor i'm the pennant race. 1t would
be folly for anyone to attempt to
make a success with the crippled and
patched-up brigade now playing in
the Angels colors.

respective admirers Of each, and as
six-round bouts never decide anything
unless via the knockout route and be-
cause of the good showing McGovern
made last night against Britt. II ia
believed that Nelson McGoverp scrap
would draw well here If II went on as
a twenty-round argument.
Manager McCarey was asked last
night as to the prospects of such a
match and while giving no definite
opinion thereto, he said that since Me.
Govern had showed so good in his bat
tie with Britt he believed that the
Brooklyn boy would be a better draw
ing card over a route with Nelson and
would not mind staging the show-if
both boys would bring along a pair of
scales.
VIII Begin Negotiations
Negotiations will be opened today
with McGovern's manager and II is
probable that the match will be made
Nelson is yet on the ground and has
no definite plans for the future that
would interfere with the match If sur
fcient financial inducements could be
offered TO hold him here.
The Dane does not believe that anv
lightweight i'm the country lis in his
class, and as he Is in excellent condf-
tion now and ready for anything from
a gentlemanly exhibition with the
gloves to a rough house scramble for
sandwich, ii seems as IL there was
no great barrier to the proposed meet
ing.
Nelson has lost heavily through the
remarkable exhibition Of yellowness of
Herrera and his would-be manager.
and is willing to remain within the
jurisdiction of the Pacific Athletic club
nd tul
with attractiveness sufficient to draw a
paying house.
All Blame Herrera
A twenty-round scrap between these
two little human gamecocks would be
a great drawing card. That they would
play the hammer-and-ton game to a
frazzling finish there can be no doubt,
and the exhibition would crafty every
desire of the fan for whirlwind fight
from the tap of the gong to the moment
for the decision.
The general indignation of the fans
because of the fiasco of Friday night
has cooled off considerablyNapd is main
ly directed at Herrera and his manager
now that all the real facts have been
exploited and which seem to clinch the
charge that all fault lies with the
Mexican and his manager.
This has had the effect of clearing
away the clouds which for time
to enveop the local game
in disrepute for an indefinite period
with possibly the elimination of the
game entirely.
Now that it appears to be a square
deal on all sides, except as refers to
Herrera and his manager, no blame
to Nelson, Nolan or McCarey,
and the general voice of sportsmen
fully eXonerates this trio.
Such being the case, there appears
no obstacle to future exhibitions and
McCarey may conclude to recoup his
losses by offering the fans the Nelson
McGovern fight as his star attraction
of the midsummer months.
