up the stoop.

He was right. So she would have

SAN FRANCISCO. December 1s.-Start-

fore Superior Judge Dunno. in which Mayor
Eugene E. Schmitz and Abraham Ruef are
seeking to set aside the five indictments
found against each of them for felony ex-

his examination that Abraham Ruef had
called on him at the time of the big munic-

testimony on the stand, that this could be
easily arranged for he would have gen.

roads and tie up the different lines. With

Stage explained his whirlwind move
by declaring Chicago had been accused
of violating the ruling of the confer
ence professors of not starting prac-
tice before school formally opens. He
said he did not wish to have the least
suspicion cast on his men, and rather
than take any chances he ordered his
men to seek other pastures for their
usual days work. Il

have been infringing upon the confer,

pose Of the rule, I feel sure no one
could accuse us of violating any rule

ticing is done it will not take place on

WOMEN MAY DRIVE
IN AUTO RACES

For several days the committees in
charge of the auto race meet at Ham
line Saturday, have been casting about
for man to beat Ralph Wilcox The
latter is willing to enter his 45-horse-
power Royal Tourist against any ma
chine driven by it's owner. Up to the
present time the only owner who has
signifed a desire to spoil Mr. Wilcox s
reputation as a fast one, has. been sue
cessfully discouraged by an irate faith
CT. So the committee has been COM
PEELED to look elsewhere.
Phil Brooks, with his red-hued Odds
mobile, is looked upon as candidate.
Mr.. Brooks declined to enter when the
meet was scheduled for last Saturday
because other engagements would keep
him away and he did not care to put
his machine in another drivers hands.
There is nothing, but his faith in the
machine and his skill, to keep him from
entering against Wilcox for next Satur-
day, however. ~ .': ~
It is rumored that the committee has
a top card up it's sleeve in the matter
of entries. So far in the auto-racing
game, the feminine sex has been con
tented with the spectators point of
view. There are at least three drivers
of the gentler sex in Minneapolis, how
ever, who have all the requisite skill
and nerve to drive a machine against
time and any possible rival for speed
honors. And it is limited that there
will be at least one race on the sched-
ule for next Saturday in which the par

TALK OF PROTESTING
THE THOMAS CAR
Journal Special Service.

journal Special Service.
New York, Sept 25.-Rumors to the
effect that the French Vanderbilt cup
team would protest the Thomas car
in the elimination race on Saturday on
the ground that it contains parts not
made in America; criticism on the
lax way in which many of the fagmen
guarded the course for the preliminary
event and the decided announcement
On the part Of the Haynes company
that their car which finished third, in
the elimination, would certainly start
in the cup race, were topics Of intense
ly interesting conversation along the
Nassau circuit today.
The objection made to the Thomas
car were that the Eissman magnetic and
the combination 60-gallon gasolene
tank and seats used on the car were
manufactured in France, a circum-
stance in direct opposition to the rule
requiring every part of the machine to
be made in the country which it is to
represent.
Chairman Thompson of the cup COM
mission stated today that he had re-
ceived no protest against the Thomas
car. George M. Davis, speaking for
the Thomas company, said that affida-
Wits could be produced to the effect
that every part of the three Thomas
machines had been made in this coun-
try.
In discussing the possible grounds for
such a. protest Chairman Thompson
said that even if allegations were made
that the Thomas creation contained
parts made on the other side, it was al.
ways in such cases extremely hard to
substantiate any such contention

Chicago, Sept. 25.-Boston was easy
for the sox yesterday and Comiskey's
men partially atoned for the whole
sale beating given them by New York.
Nick Altrock, who certainly has we'll
established buffalo upon Boston, held
the ex-champions with ease, and would
have BANKED them but for a passed
ball. Tannehill essayed to twirl for
Boston. Jesse is, as rule, extremely
effective against the sox, but they
rammed and slammed him until he
found one inning an ample suffciency.
Glaze, who succeeded him, did very
neat work. and got on quite well. Bos-
tom s fielding was clever and the new
second baseman, Chadbourne, pleased
the crowd. The populace made little
noise during the game, but went viz
when news came Of the crash at De-
troit.
The sox started to transact business
early. After Hahn had famed in the
first round, Jones, Davis and Robe sim
gled in sharp succession and the first
two made the circuit. Tannehill re-
tired after that and Glaze BANKED the
sox in pretty fashion for three innings,
thanks largely to a fine double play en-
glneered by Morgan. In the fifth
Dougherty poked out hit, stole Sec
