RANDOLPH FOOLS
THE SEALS WITH
HIS CURVES.

A few hundred fans shivered on the
bleechers at Idora Park yesterday
while the Seals and the Angels went
through the formalities of the second
game of the series. The Angels won.
The game was not one to warm the
spectators. Randolph held the refugees
safely at all stages except the ninth,
when they came near tying ii up. Will
son made the third out while a promis-
ing rally was under way and Los An
geles was to the good by nose. Will
son tried, put in the box a. busher
named Clark, who developed so strong
tendency to balk in season and out
that he lasted but an inning and half.
Balks are quite the thing at Idora this
summer. but Clark made too many, so
the accommodating Hit finished out
the game for him. The score:

STATE AUTO LAW
THOUGHT TO BE
TOO LAX.

II is evident the next Legislature
will make some changes in the auto
mobile laws Of the State. The present
laws are the best that the owners of
automobiles have enjoyed since the
horseless carriage came 10 the coast,
but there are sections that could be
amended. That part that deals with
the chauffeurs is particularly defective.
At the present time all one has to do
IS 70 send 81 to Secretary Of State Curry

feur's license is needed and stating the
kind of machine TO be handled. The
badge and permit are forthcoming at

automobile to use II on the highways

a speed almost equal TO that OF the
average railroad train over roads that
are in striking contrast TO the smooth
ness Of the roadbed of the latter That
more serious accidents do not happen
is more a matter Of good luck than
good judgment
In San Francisco there is an ordi-
nance that requires that all drivers OF
public automobiles, those which are
rented out, must pass an examination
but il is impossible to reach the driver
OF private vehicles under the present
law 1t is bad enough TO Kill a few
owners and their friends but the safety
Of the general public Is paramount.
The San Francisco call., 1906-08-23

The average experienced chauffeur
never gives cause for complaint. He
never takes a chance. He knows the
power of the machine he is running
and realizes the damage that can be
done by not being careful. He does not
care to jeopardize his own life. This is
proved by the remarks of Barney Old
field on high speeding when he said
1T will get me some day" There Is
but a slight difference between driving
high-power racing car on the track
and running high-power touring car
or the road. One has but to visit the
garages of the city and see the youth
fulness OF the drivers to realize what
chances are being taken with the DOW
erfui automobiles or the present day
cars that can go fasser than a mile a
minute.
The present law should be amended
The Automobile Club of California, the
dealers and the California Association
of Chauffeurs should work together al

more stringent rules governing the Is
