Much Speculation Exists Regarding
Merits Of Contestants Which Are
to Start From San
Pedro

After much preparation, the Merlin
and Venus of the South Coast Yacht
club will get under way this morning
for a scheduled six-mile race off San
Pedro. Walter Folsom of the Mischief
II will direct the maneuvers of the
Merlin, while Skipper Bradley will,
guide the Venus.
Much speculation exists regarding
the comparative merits of the craft,
and although the Venus has beeil
picked to win. the Merlin may spring a
surprise, especially should heavy
weather prevail. Both vessels have
been trimmed to their speediest proper
tions and fast race is anticipated.
Today's course is from a whistling
buoy off Point Firmin, six miles to
leeward and return to a mark which
will be situated off Long Beach. The
contest will commence about II

SANTA CRUZ WINS
FROM STANFORD
FRESHMAN RUGBY TEAM IS
DEFEATED
Score Of 8 to 0 Is Made In First Half
on a Free Play Kick, Given
as Result Of
Penalty

Special to The Herald.
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Sept.
2s.-The Freshmen rugby team was de-
feated this afternoon by a picked team
from Santa Cruz by the score of 8 to 0.
The score was made early in the first
half on a free play kick given as a
result of a penalty. The rest Of the
contest honors were even and while
several brilliant runs we're made by
members of both teams. no further
score resulted.
The freshmen were up against an
experienced lot of English players and
their showing under the circumstances
was good. Davies, who made the drop
kick, was a member of the champion
ship team of England several years
ago.
After the freshmen game two Var
sity teams engaged in practice.
The work of the Varsity Reds was
brilliant and the goal kicking of Ken
ney' Fenton was marvellous.
Rugby is gaining distinct favor among
the students from present indication
and will be well supported throughout
the year.

ACCIDENTALLY SHOOTS
SANTA ANA PARTNER

Angus McCostin of Santa Aan was ac-
cidentally shot last evening at Los An
geles and Commercial streets by his
partner, Mike Keyes, also of Santa Ana.
The pari came to Los Angeles some
days ago to have good time, which
took the form of drunk.
Both men Were intoxicated in resort
when the shooting occurred.
Keyes stated that negro entered the
room and bade all present throw up
their hands. He was so excited by the
appearance of the negro that he drew
his pistol and shot his partner, who
was seated near him.
The bullet took effect in McClostiu's
right leg and unless blood poisoning oc-
ours it is believed that the wound will
not be serious.
DIR. c. w. Cook, assistant police sur
geon, extracted the bullet.
Keyes was arrested, but it is not be-
lieved that McClostin will prefer charges
against him.

PICKS UP WAITS
ON THE STREET

Patrolman Winterton yesterday
picked up two little waits on First street
and took then to the central police sta
tion to hold until inquiries were made
about them.
But no inquiries came, and they told a
tale that caused the police to believe
that they have been cast off by their
father.
They say their father brought them
here with him last Friday afternoon
and left them standing in front of n
lodging house on Market street.
That was the last they saw or heard
Of their father and they were almost
despairing of place to sleep or some
thing to eat, until the officer took them
in charge. Neither of the youngsters
could tell anything about where they
lived in Pasadena, and they have been
sent to the detention home to be cared
for until some information is received
concerning them.

opportunity to frequently see this won
derful pair of exponents of the art OF
skating the coming season. Their
act is so versatile and their change of
costume SO extensive that there will
be a complete change of program every
day. Exhibitions will be given, be-
ginning October L, every afternoon and
evening.
The Grand avenue rink has been
completely overhauled, and many new
attractive features added to this popu-
lar place of amusement A new band
stand has been suspended from the
center Of the rink and original electric
al decorations have been used to ad-
vantage. The north and south walls
have been covered with mirrors, being
probably one of the largest mirror dis
plays in the country. These mirrors
will create wonderful effect, as the
number of skaters will be greatly null
tiplied, and give the impression of
thousands Of people covering the floor.
One of the most notable moves made
by the management was the securing
of w. 7. Arend and MS pand of fifteen
pieces. This large number of musi-
clans, under the excellent personal di-
rection of Prof. Arend, is giving the
skating patrons the best class of music
ever offered by any rink management.
