THINGS DOING IN FIsTIAMA
Salt Lake City Is Temporarily a
Fighters Mecca These Days

For a city in which. the pugilistic lid
has been nailed down so tight stick
Of dynamite could not move it, Salt
Lake is certainly headquarters for
high class mitt performers these days.
With Battling Nelson, Billy Nolan,
Dick Hyland and Sammy McClintic
walking around and burning up tele-
graph wires, one would think there
champion lightweight of Australia, and
latest arrivals in the colony, with Maui
rice Levi, manager of the Hayes Valley
Athletic club of San Francisco. With
this array of talent there should be
something doing in Salt Lake but the
best that city will get is to hear about
the matches being made for distant
points.
Hook Keyes and his manager stopped
off in Salt Lake on their way home to
Australia. Keyes just comes from the
east, where he has done some good
work in the ring. His best battles were
with Amos McGaney, who was matched
to fight Young Corbett. When Corbett
was defeated by Hyland Keyes took
his place and the fight went twenty
rounds to draw. Later Keyes went
six rounds at Philadelphia with Young
Erne.
Sammy McClintic has received a tel
egram from John Mcintosh of Butte
offering Hyland a match with Maurice
Thompson for Labor day at Butte
Mcintosh wanted the weight 1873
pounds. McClintic wired back that
Hyland would meet Thompson if the
latter made 1870, ringside weight.

RENDER CHAUVENET'S MARCH
Venice Band Concert Had San Franz
cisco Composition as a Feature

The band concert at Venice yester-
day was of usual attendance and en-
thusiasm. The program was one of
great merit.
One of the features was the Mise
rere," from "Trovatore," with solos by
De Lecce and Forcellati. This was
rendered with feeling and emotion and
suggested perfect unison of leader and
players.
A special feature of both afternoon
and evening programs was the san
Francisco Funeral March and Resur-
rection," by the artist Paul de Long
pre-. The Introduction is made very
effective with cymbals, which bespeak
the deathly terror of the once beau
tiful city. The latter part Is the tri-
umphant resurrection hymn, which
thrills with the magic rise of a new
city.
The composition will soon be pub
lished for the piano and voice, Jean
de Chauvenet announces.
The band parts were arranged by
Robert Messenger, who is a resident Of
Los Angeles and was until recently
with Sousa.

The "helter-skelter" is human cata-

mitted to shoot himself out of 3, second
story window along a polished slide,
from which he is elected on the ground

The new amusements proved source
of continuous entertainment and fur
nished much merriment to the crowd,
longer before the timid will consent to
being initiated into the delights which
the fun is said to afford.
At the auditorium Chiffarrelli's band
played to well-filled houses at both the
afternoon and evening concerts.
There was a record attendance at the
skating rink and dancing pavilion
throughout the day.
At Ocean Park the crowd was thick
est in the vicinity of the bath house,
where 1t is estimated that 1900 people
rented suits, while probably half again
that number went into the surf direct
from the cottages along the beach.
Donatelli's band played to big gath
erings at 9th concerts and the skating
rink enjoyed the biggest day since its
opening several weeks ago.
Santa Monica was the choice of sew
eral thousand persons, the majority Of
whom constituted picnic parties or
came down for a swim only.
The day passed without any arrests
or accidents being reported.

PURLoINERs HELD
What VIII Happen Tuesday II De-
fendant Calls for a Jury and
Some of the Cannonballs
Are Brought Into court7

Because Of fondness for juicy, ripe
watermelons, Harry Bronson, said to
be the leader of a gang of bold, bad
watermelon thieves, was arrested by
Patrolman Humphreys. who thinks he
has laid his hands upon deep-dyed
villain.
Bronson told the police court Judge
very emphatically that he was not
guilty of the heinous crime charged
against him, and his case will hold the
attention of the court Tuesday.
1t is said several large, delicious
melons will be brought into court as
Exhibits" and it is supposed the court
officials will be able to partake lib
orally of the melons without any
danger of being called into contempt.
The fondness for melons is not con-
fined to the dark-Skinned sons of the
southland. Few men can truthfully
admit they have outgrown their
"hankering" for melon, and If Bronson
had been wise and asked for a jury,
mayhap even strong evidence would
not lead twelve men. good and true,
to send to durance vile youth who
likes watermelons.
The police assert there was water
melon plot-not a garden spot, hut a
conspiracy to separate owners from the
fruit of their vines.
1t is claimed that young Willie
Bricker, who is now out on probation,
was found guilty of being a water
melon lover and is thought to be pal

ANGELEN0S VISIT VARIOUS
RESORTS
Thousands Journey to Beaches to
Enjoy Surf Bathng-Many
Others Seek Shade of
Canyons

The beaches, the mountains and can
yons became the Meccas for thousands
of Angelenos yesterday.
From early morning until late in the
afternoon Los Angeles kept on the
move to or from the various resorts.
Every car that left the city from
early morning until late in the after
noon was crowded to its capacity.
Pompous men of affairs, with their
families, were glad to find standing
room in the huge coaches that went to
the beaches.
Surf bathing was never more literally
patronized than yesterday. Men, wom-
en- and children who had never before
Ventured in the breakers could not re-
sist the alluring swish Of the water.
Many Go to the Mountains
Not only were the beaches popular,
but hundreds of families secured teams
and journeyed far into the mountain
canyons, where they selected cool,
shady places and spread good, old
fashioned picnic dinners.
Mount Lowe swarmed with tourists
from early morning until late in the
evening. Many remained on it's sum-
init to view Los Angeles during night
time, with its hundreds Of shimmering
electric lights that resembled a huge
mantel studded with gems and spread
from the mountains to the sea.

SAvI0UR'S WORDS ARE
A SHOWER OF STRENGTH
Rev. Mr.. Landis Tells WestIake Pres
byterlans That They Must Lend
Their Lives to the Father or to
Sins Dominion

Pastor w. D. Lands of the Westlake
Presbyterian church preached yester-
day morning on THE Overcoming
Life He said in part:
ITO him that overcometh.' Who has
not read these words of the Master
They are a shower of strength to the
weak
"The Saviour is speaking to the dis
couraged churches of Asia, and closes
his message to each of the seven
churches with the thought that man
can overcome.
"These verses are stars of hope In
the tresses of the night of despair.
Battles are thick about us. There is
one battle royal-it is the battle
against sin for the love of Christ. 1t
is a great struggle.
"Sin becomes so desirouS of full
possession of our lives. Jesus is anX-
ious to sit on the throne But both
cannot dwell in peace in the throne
room.
1--WE must lend our lives either to
sins dominion or to Christ's. When
we really love Christ the battle is on
and will be waged to a finish.
Some come to God to get God to
help them further their plans, others
find in God their all and dedicate
themselves to him.
For Private interests
"Some use their country to further
their private interests. But they are
not to be mentioned with the same
breath as the mother who gave her
five boys who We're slain in the de-
fense of their country.
God will not become your servant
to accomplish your purposes, but you
may dedicate your life to him and
learn his will. His will is that you
win the battle of life.
HE offers the tree Of life to the sue
cessful contestant. He will confirm In
life the victorious one.
Jesus promises here to give a new
name, new position and new power to
those who win the battle. Garments
of purity will clothe them.
THE coming day will bear on his
brow the morning star and this will
be given them.
"They shall have the knowledge and
wisdom of day By the side of his
children the Master stands saying BE
of good cheer; have overcome the
world BY his grace and strength, the
victory shall be ours"
