OLD OFFENDER
LANDS IN JAIL
GEORGE LING ARRESTED ON
ACCOUNT OF PAST RECORD
Police Give Fair Warning That sus-
picous Characters Will Be Arr
rested Upon Arriving in
Los Angeles

George Ling, said to be an ex-con-
vict, was arrested at the court house
yesterday afternoon by Detectives
Zeigler and Mccain.
Ling recently served term at San
Quentin and is suspected of being In
Los Angeles on one of his professional
trips.
The police say Ling is a smooth
crook and once served a long term
in Sing Sing.
Booked on Suspicion
He was booked last night on sus-
picion and all the patrolmen were
given a look at the alleged ex-con-
Wet in order that they may know with
whom they are dealing in case he Is
arrested for some offense in the future.
AS he is merely booked on suspicion
he probably will be released today, as
there is no charge pending against
him.
Ling has just finished serving term
on a petty larceny charge, with a prior
conviction behind it.
In view of the coming fiesta, the de-
tectives are arresting all known crooks
and eX-convicts in order to give them
an idea of what will be melted out to
them in the event they commit some
overt act.

Poggenberg.
High run, 127, made by Wright.
Harry Wright of San Francisco, in
defeating Calvin Demarest of Chicago,
made a high record for the tourna-
ment, making a run of 127, The final
score was 300 to 265.
1t took Wright IS innings to run the
game out, and 1879 out of the 300 points
were made in the last two innings. For
the first sixteen innings his stroke was
bad and his judgment on cushion shots
was poor. Demarest also left the balls
in difficult positions.
At the end of the sixteenth inning
Wright's score was 101, and that of his
opponent 260. When Wright opened the
seventeenth inning he seemed to have
almost no chance of winning the game.
His control of the balls seemed to be
perfect until the siXtyfourth point had
been scored, when they became frozen
in the corner. He chose to spot the
balls and then continued until he had
scored 127, the highest run in the tour
nament so far.
In his seventeenth trial Demarest
made five and missed and then Wright
finished the game with a run of 70.
Demarest played a brilliant game, as
his average, Is 1917 indicates, making
run of rs in his eighth inning. Sum-

Plans for the new Cathedral Of st.
Vibiana, to be erected on land pur-
chased by Bishop Conaty and fronting
on Ninth, Green and Whittier streets,
as exclusively announced in The Herald
more than two years ago, now are being
considered by the bishop. Maginnis,
Walsh & Sullivan, architects from Bos-
ton, who have planned the churches
that have been erected in the diocese
since the arrival of the bishop, will
submit the plans without competition.
The new cathedral will stand as a
substantial monument of the work of
the bishop in the diocese, and will be
on the most improved lines of ecclesi-
astical architecture. The recent trip
of Bishop Conaty to Europe gave him
a chance to study the lines of the
famous church structures and it was
partly for that reason that he made the
journey. Especially in Spain did he
study the architecture, as it is well
known that the new cathedral will
carry out the ideas of the land which
first sent the brown robed Franciscans
to civilize and Christianize the south

1t is understood that the new ca
