Blaze at Riverside Spreads Rapidly

Special to The Herald.

opcCldl W Inc Herald,
RIVERSIDE, July Ito satisfy a
long-felt curiosity as to whether green
timber would burn, 14-year-old
schoolboy of Riverside yesterday. after
noon set fire to the brush on the slope
of Mount Rubidoux and only by the
most desperate efforts of the city fire
department and forest rangers was the
fire gotten under control. The flames
swept two clean blocks of the Hunting
ton Park division.
The lad who is accused of starting
the blaze is Harold Shallish and yes
terday afternoon he was sentenced to
serve one week of strict confinement in
his home as penalty for the act.
Driven by the high wind the blaze
started by the youth rapidly spread
from a pile of brush to the heavy foli-
age of the section. Choice trees and
shrubs, tho finest in the southwest, set
out by the Huntington Park associa-
tion, were rapidly destroyed. The foli-
age had just taken hold nicely and
was to have formed a park on the
mountain slope
A party of picnickers climbing the
mountain noticed the smoke and imme-
diately notified the mountain rangers,
who galoped to the blaze. There II
was found that the section could be
reached from the fire hydrants and the
Riverside fire department responded 10
the alarm.
While the rangers cleared out the
brush and dug trenches to head off the
blaze the fire department turned the
full force Of the hose on the shrubbery
and within an hour the fire was under
control.

PASADENA, July 1.-The two latest
acquisitions of the Southern California
league, Myers Pasadena team and the
Jevne team OF Los Angeles, met this
afternoon on the local grounds near
the Hotel Raymond. The final score
stood Pasadena IL, Jevne 4.
The local players insist that the score
should have been II to 1, but are pretty
well satisfied with the result after all.
During the very first inning the visitors
went after the goods briskly and when
the Pasadenans recovered had piled up
four runs to their credit.
Three of these were made on tumble
in right field. Then the local nine set
tied down to business and acquired
runs with commendable regularity A
good crowd was present and Manager
Myers states that the finances will
permit of the construction of bleachers
in time for the next game. If lease
to the grounds can be secured from the
Southern Pacific people an attempt will
be made to erect a grandstand In the
near future. On next Sunday afternoon
comes the Hoegee Flags aggregation.
The schedule as now made up is as
follows: July IS, Tufts-Lyon; July %,
Hamburgers; July 29, Examiners; Au-
gust s, Tufts-Lyon; August ~ Ham
burgers; August 10. Examiners. The
usual line-up of the local team as
played today is as here given Easterly,

base: Stout, second base; Shakey, short

THIEVES ARE AFTER GUM
Crown City Burglars Enter Santa Fe
Station and Rob Penny
Gum Machine

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, July 1.-Thieves broke
into the ladies' waiting room of the
Santa Fe station last night, smashing
a pane of glass in the west door and
drawing a bolt to gain an entrance.
The private Office, with its tickets
the safe were not entered. Whether the
thieves were unable to open the con-
Meeting door or whether it's contents
were not sufficiently alluring it is hard
to say. But the penny gum machine
in the waiting room appealed nightly
to the intruders, for they proceeded to
demolish that and to abstract about
two dollars worth of penny gum slabs
and as much as twenty coppers.
The affair appears to have been the
work of boys who knew of the situation
of things at the station and were not
able to attempt breaking into the office.
Pasadena has more than its share OF
embryo burglars and a majority of the
petty crimes which are going on all the
time, most of them not reported to the
police, are believed to be the work of
these youngsters.
A score or more of these boys have
been up before the local courts again
and again, only to be released on pro-
baton.
These probationers are believed to be
leaders in the numerous gangs about

Favor Joining With Los
Angeles

Special to The Herald.
. PASADENA, July 1.-Union labor is
a bit divided in this city as to the pro-
per method of observing Labor day this
year.
For Two years celebrations have
been held in Tournament park with
brass bands, speeches and a series of
sports.

association was formed with the
avowed intention of continuing the af-
fair.
Now comes proposition to abandon
this celebration in favor of the cor
ner-stone laying of the Labor temple IN

started on :; campaign for the erection
of similar Labor temple and another
faction is strongly in favor of holding
a celebration similar to the one OF

Intention OF raising $1,000 or more foI
the local temple.

day association tomorrow evening when
