AUTOS To BATTLE
TOWARD BALDY
REQ AND WHITE WILL START
THIS MORNING
Contest Promises to Be the Most
Spectacular Of lts Kind Ever
Attempted In the United
States

Promptly at 4:3O o'clock this morn
Ing the great Mount Baldy race be-
tween Leon T. Shelters REQ and r. c.
Fenner's White will be under way when
the REQ car leaves Eighth and Broad
way for the Fenner mine.
An hour later the White machine
Will start with Captain II. d. Ryus at
the >wheel.
Exactly 100 miles is the distance
which the cars will be called upon to
cover before the race comes to an end.
Neither contestant can figure where
he stands chance to lose and rivalry
is keen.
The decision Of Mr.. Fenner in secur-
ing Captain Ryus as the guardian of
his machine during the race is one
that will greatly add to the chances of
the White. Ryus is one of the most
skilled drivers in the state and every
vestige of speed within the capabilities
of the White will surely be CLEANED
under his direction.
1t was thought for a while that the
recent rains which have fallen on
Mount Badly might interfere to a de-
gree with the speed of the cars entered,
but Mr.. Shelter, who has been over the
road several times. declares that no
material difference should result.

have placed an even $1,000 on the cars
which they represent in Los Angeles.
Actual running time will be the only
consideration in making the award. as
either party may stop for any repairs
which may be required during the run.
Two things accomplished by the tour
of the A. A. A. through New York,
Canada, Maine and New Hampshire
was the demonstration of the practi-
cability of gasoline trucks, by the per-
formance of the Knox baggage wagon
and the thorough vindication of the
SIX cylinder proposition by the Pierce

wonderful. How the truck ever got
over some of the mountains is almost
beyond comprehension.
The six cylinder car was entered as
a tourist to help out the officials. AL

PAYS CALL ON SISTER
AND FIGHT ENSUES
OLIVE STREET LODGING HOUSE
SCENE OF TROUBLE
Detective Discovers That Law Re-
qulring All Guests to Register
Was Vlolated-Test Case viii Be
Made

A fight in the Pellissier lodging house
at sos South olive street last evening
about 10 o'clock brought to light the
fact that during all the month of
August no roomer at that place had
been registered, as the law provides.
The fight occurred between T. ]. Car
son of 1242 East Seventh street and G.
M. Hoffman, proprietor of the place.
Carson alleged that he had gone TO
the Pellissier to see his sister, Miss l..
NJ. Carson, who had engaged room 80,
and was leaving the house after about
an hours stay
When he attempted to go down the
stairs Hoffman is alleged to have told
him that he should not come to the
house again to see any one in room.
Carson stated that he then told Hoff-
man that he had been there to visit
his sister and that Hoffman struck him
with a cane which he had in his hand.
Hoffman stated that Carson had
struck him first. but he had no marks
on his face or body to indicate that the
affair was as he told It, Carson was
severely bruised and cut upon the face
and head, and 1t was necessary to call
a physician to attend him.
Detectives Hosick and Zeigler were
detailed upon the case, and they say
they discovered that only small pro-
portion of the guests in the house had
ever been asked to sign the register.
and that although there were in the
house about fifty persons, only fifteen
names were signed to the register.
Mrs. Hoffman, who seemed to be act
ing as manager of the place, stated tn at
all the guests were asked to register
when they came to the house, but that
many of them refused. This statement
was controverted by the assertions of
many of the guests, who said that they
had never been asked to sign a regis
ter, and that If they had been they
would have done so gladly.
Detectives Hosick and Zeigler will
endeavor to secure a complaint against
Hoffman and his wife on the charge of
violating the city ordinance relating to
the operation of rooming houses.
Carson stated that he would endeavor
to secure a warrant for Hoffman's ar
rest on the charge of assault.

OF BIC BATTLE
Special to The Herald.


NEW YORK. Aug. 24.-Battling Mel
sons chances of defeating Joe Cans
are very slim, if the opinion of many
prominent pugilists count for anything.
The prevailing sentiment Is that the
colored wonder will win in a gallop.
Here is what they have to sty:
Terry McGovern-Gans for mine. He
is marvel of the prize ring.
Young Corbett-Nelson is a great
fighter but Cans is the class. He is
the daddy of us all.
Jimmy Britt fought them both
and Cans is rs per cent the better man.
Willie Lewis-Nothing to it but
smoke. He has sleep potion in both
hands and is the greatest general in
the ring.
Willie Fltzgerald-It will be curtains
for the "Battler" long before the fif-
teenth round.
Sailor Burke-The man with the
punch is the best bet, and that's Cans.
Tom Sharkey-The Dane will think
he ran against man-of-war when Joe
hits him, and 1 don't think he can
miss
Abe Attell-I pick Cans to win an
the bit. He is too clever.

INDIANS BREAK
LOSING STREAK
SEATTLE DEFEATS FRESNO
CLUB
Winners Hold RsIsln Plckers Down
Until Ninth Inning, When Mlque
Fishers Aggregation Brings
In Three Runs
Seattle 4, Fresno 3

The losing streak Of the Seattle In
dians was broken yesterday when they
defeated Mique Fishers bunch of Rasin
Eaters by the score Of to 3.
Rusty Hall was on deck for the
Fresno band, with Jones of the win
ners to oppose him. Hall started In
well, and for the first three innings did
not allow a man to advance far enough
to make things look dangerous for the
Fisher aggregation
In the fourth Kane singled to left
and was forced at second, when Van
Buren, was hit by a pitched ball; stole
third and scored on Householder's sac
rifce.
Things continued very quiet, and 1t
began to look as though the Seattle
team was going to shut the Fresnoltes
out, until the eighth, when the team
from Washington scored three runs
and made the score still worse for the
native team.
In the ninth inning Fresno stock took
a raise and the Raisin Picking bunch
scored three runs. This saved them
from a shut-out and also increased the
hopes Of one Mique Fisher.
Adams was the first man to the bat
in the eighth and bunted to right and
made first safely. Pitcher Jones was
ue4L anu dlSO lIlS0 Tire buhtlh5
game and was safe, but was forced at
second by Kane.
Van Buren, came to the bat and
clouted the ball far out in right field.
Adams came in on the hit of the center
fielder. Delmas, in trying to make a
grandstand play and double, threw far
over first baseman's head, which let In
Van Buren, and one more run.
Right fielder Householder stepped to
the plate and singled to center field
and let in Blankenship. This made the
score to 0 at the end of the eighth
inning.
Seattle did nothing in the ninth, but
when Fresno came to the bat after a
little strong talk with Manager Fisher
the Raistn Pickers nerved themselves
and endeavored to score.
Casey was up first and much to his
disappointment the little Irish player
walked to first base Egan walked to
the plate and the first ball thrown he
smashed 1t far out against the left field
fence and let Casey around to third
base.
Mclaughlin and Delmas made outs
and when Dashwood walked up to the
plate with smile on his face he
swatted the sphere to second, where
Croll fumbled the ball and allowed
Casey to bring in another score.
Cartwright was next up and singled
to left and scored Egan and Eastwood,
making the score 4 to 3, with the
Seattle team in the lead. Score:

HARVARD CREW MAKES GOOD
SHOW AGAINST CAMBRIDGE
BY Associated Press.

LONDON. Aug. 24.-The unexpected
ly good performance yesterday of the
Harvard university at Putney appears
to have shaken the confidence of the
hackers of the Cambridge crew. Some
of the morning papers today admit thar
Cambridge is likely to have a hard
nut to crack, while the Sportsman
comments on the fact that all the Har-
ward oarsmen set In the boat at pre-
cisely the same height, their shoulders
being perfectly level, with the result
that all the blades dip at the same an
gle, the whole producing a machine
like motion, whereas different heights
would produce. different angles and pro-
duce loss of power. The Sportsman
concludes for this reason the Harvards
are an ideal crew and not unlikely to
win.

on journey.

mistress.
ITO Courtland," he confessed, some
what reluctantly, looking down at the
peaked toe of his tanned leather rid

And what takes you to Courtland?'
said Joan; you are in danger there.
Besides. would you leave my service
and engage with some other?"
Nay. my lady" he burst out; that
