Frank Carrillo has a heavyweight on

he stopped one of Jack Johnson's
punches. Sam was going along nicely
and the sports were seriously discuss
ing him as champion possibility.
After johnson polished him up Sam
dropped out of sight, and 1t was left
to Carrillo, the Bakersfield sportsman,
who brought Herrera before the public.
to sing McVeys praises. McVey has
been training at Bakersfield for quite
a while, and Carrillo Is authority for the
statement that the big coon is hun
dred per cent better boxer than when
he fought johnson.
You know that McVey was green
fighter" said Frank recently. Nobody
ever taught him anything, and he de-
pended on his great strength and en-
durance to win his fights. When he
came up to Bakersfield / put him to
boxing, and taught him something.
"Sam has improved more than you
can think, and 1 would now like to
match him with AL Kaufman or Sam
Berger. 1 will give either as large a
side bet as he wants.
Carrillo always makes good on any
betting proposition he stars. He was
game enough to back Herrera when a
novice to the amount of $3500 against

JARROTT AMAZED
At SPEEDSTERS
ENGLISH AUT0IST EXPRESSES
WONDER
Gives Interesting Description Of Mar
veIous Maneuvers in Famous Cor
don Bennett Race-Vlews
Sport as Spectator

Charles Jarrott the well known
English racing man, who won the Cir
cult des Ardennes race in 1902 and was
a member of the British team in the
Irish Gordon Bennett race, has an in
teresting article on automobile racing
in the Motor Year Book, in which he
describes the thrill of racing as fol-
lows:
when Thery gained his place in the
French team for the Gordon Bennett
race saw how his dogged perseverance
carried him home a victor, and never
shall forget the meteoric and brilliant
driving of Wagner in the same race in
his splendid attempt to place his Dar-
racq in front. Lancia's driving in the
Gordon Bennett race, his look of tri-
umph as he passed Thery, and the phil
oSophy of the latter as he started off in
pursuit, 1 would not have missed for
great deal of money, and thanked
fortune for placing me at the particular
place of Thery's stoppage at that par
ticular moment. Later on, in the Cir
cult des Ardennes. Hemery was another
revelation. Consummate' skill with
splendid deviltry secured him a. a.magnifi-
cent victory 1t was worth travelling
long way to witness all this, and how
ShOuiu hiNC icSISNLSu lldu HOI Deell
there. 1t was all so noVel-new impress
sionS and new ideas.
Il saw the game under a different
aspect-as a spectator instead of a.
competitor-and 1 appreciated it as few
other spectators could appreciate it..
And what were my impressions? First
ly, of speed. Have you stood at the
bottom long slope when mass of
metal, streered, controlled and directed
by human hands, has hurtled by at
ninety miles an hour? Has it not ap-
palled you?
did you not wonder how 1t was pos
sible that such struggle between ma
chine and man could go ON for hours
without disaster and with the ultimate
victory of the man over the machine ?
All this l marveled at. 1t seemed in
credible and impossible, and yet know
from my own experience that the man
on the car was coolly noting each vary
ing circumstance of the road and car,
physically feeling but little strain, and
eager to travel faster and faster after
ward the distant finish, not the least
bit appalled,, but enjoying the fight as
only an expert can enjoy it.
1.-The hair-raising skidding at the cor
ners, so horribly dangerous as it looked,
was done deliberately and was ca1cu-
lated to a nicety The appearance of
the car as it dropped down hill, with
the front wheels apparently swaying in
midair was merely usual and all quite
ordinary to the man on the car, but
how horrifying it looked from the spec
tator's position"

is VETERAN OF
MANY SEASONS
GEORGE VAN HALTREN CREDIT
TO GAME
Has Been on the Diamond for Nearly
Twenty Years and Regarded as
One of the Greatest
Players

George Van Haltren, who holds down
center field and at the same time man
ages the Oakland team, is one of the
grand old men of baseball. Van has
been on the diamond nearly twenty
years, and started his career in Cali
fornia, where he is destined to end it,
but not for a long time yet.
1t was away back in 1887 that Van
first broke into the game. 1t was
over at Alameda Point and the team
was known as the Greenhood & Mo-
rams. Van In those days was catcher.
Danny Lang, the well known baseball
man, was the pitcher; big Bill
Brown, the "Only" Nolan, Danny Rich
ardson and Jack Arnold were some of
his team mates.
Van soon tired of doing backstop
work and decided to become pitcher.
He was successful from the start, and
was soon called east. joining the Chi
cago team under Anson. His first game
i'm the big league was one that he says
he will never forget. "Clarkson and
Kelly were the opposing battery. and
was somewhat ratified, and besides
giving twelve bases on balls was hit
for thirteen safeties. AS base on balls
counted as a hit i'm those days, / was
hit pretty hard The next time l faced
Boston beat them to g."
The box had little charm for Van
and he went to the outfield. Later he
Joined Pittsburg and played brilliant
ball for the Pirates until the Brother
hood days, when he jumped to Brook
lyn. After the peace compact he Joined
New York and played there until the
close of the 1908 season, when he Joined
Seattle of the Pacific Coast league.
Last year he played center for Oak
land, and upon the retirement of
"Pete" Lohman was put in charge OF
the team. Van Haltren has been and
is certainly credit to baseball. He
has never been accused of Sinking his
work or indulging in rowdyism. True.
he has been benched and fined, but IT
has been for a cause that he thought
right and because he kicked, thinking
he could gain his point.

HERRERA FEARS
PREJUDICE HERE
ASKS TRANSFER OF FORFEIT
MONEY LITIGATION
Mexican Fighters Attorneys Tell
Judge York That Client Can't
Get Fair Trial In Los
Angeles

The aftermath of the recent hasco at
MdCarey's fight pavilion when Aurella
Herrera became afflicted with yellow
taundice and failed to fight little Bat
Nelson, made its appearance in the su-
perior court yesterday when attorneys
representing Herrera asked Judge
York to transfer the suit for $4,000
brought against Aurelia to some other
county.
The suit against the Mexican has
been brought by the shareholders of
the forfeit money placed by Herrera
just before the fight with Nelson.
At that time in accordance with the
agreements, Herrera and Nelson posted
forfeits with a certain stakeholder. It
was agreed between them that should
either fail to weigh 1873 pounds at a
certain time the guilty one would for
felt thousand. An extra thousand
was posted as forfeit for the appear
ance of the men.
Stake Holders Order Forfeit
When Herrera refused to weigh and
therefore did not appear in fighting
condition, the shareholders decided
that the money was forfeited and that
the $1,000 posted by the Mexican should
go to Bat Nelson and his manager,
William Nolan.
But the Mexican was shrewd and
had given a check for $4,000 on the
Bank of Kern. When the check was
presented for payment by the stakes
holders payment was refused and since
that time the stockholders in an effort
to collect the money have filed suit for
that amount in the superior court.
Yesterday Herrera's attorneys ap-
peared before Judge York in depart
ment three of the superior court and
asked that the case be sent to some
other district for trial, as they did not
think Aurelia could receive a fair trial
in the local courts.
The case was taken under considera-
ton by Judge York. but it is doubtful
whether the change of venue will be
granted, since the case will be settled
by superior judge alone and his
opinion, it Is held, would hardly be
prejudiced by the action of any prize
fighters.

BOXERS PREPARE
FOR CARNIVAL
LIVELY SCENES OCCUR DAILY
AT PAVILION
The Terrible Turk Encounters Bad
Lightweight and Suffers Damage
to Facial Expresslon-Ama-
teurs Work Hard

There was a. merry time down at the
Maud Junction pavilion yesterday after
noon. where McCarey's aggregation Of
aspiring pugilists are daily hammer
ing each other in preparation for next
Tuesday evenings performance.
Considerable trouble resulted when
the ever present Kid Solomon butted in
and hooked up with Abdul, the Turkish
wonder, who is to be let loose for his
first public appearance next week.
Abdul is an energetic sort of a young
man, who believes in motion from the
tap of the gong. Unlike the more ad-
vanced type of ringster he does not
stand around waiting for something to
break. Abdul goes In to break or be
broke. Yesterday he endeavored to
trounce Kid Solomon.
The Kid became much aggrieved, and
after allowing Abdul to expend a large
amount of surplus energy, receiving
several vigorous slaps on the arm in
the meantime, he tore loose and did
various things to the subject of the
sultan which were not all to the lat
ter's credit.
SO far as local interest is concerned,
the bout between Harry Baker and Kid
Dalton will attract almost as much
attention as n championship battle, for
IL ID BeueTdl1y aBTeeu among puB1l1StlC
experts that either of these men may
prove q legitimate candidate for cham
pionshp honors after they acquire more
experience.
Leonard Lauder, who makes his first
bow as 81 professional Tuesday, is a
son of ex-Councilman Ben Lauder, and
the paternal instructions are that
Lenny administer the sleep potion to
his opponent long before the ter1nina-
tion of the six rounds. Lauder made a
good showing against Kid Lamar at
San Pedro. but this in no way alarms
Billy Locke, who is to face him. The
latter is training assiduousfy for the
encounter.
All the boys who are to go on the
evening of June 10 are getting into form,
and as most of them are working out at
the big amphitheater at Maud junction,
a good line is being obtained by the
aggregation of sports who assemble
there every day.

PLAYERS READY
FOR THE FINALS
,HANDBALL TOURNAMENT WILL
SOON BE DECIDED
Results of Contests SO Far Have Mar
rowed Cup Possibilities to Marrow
Margin and Interest Arises as
to Ultimate Result

No championship games were con-
tested yesterday in the handball tourn-
ament, the players taking things easy
in anticipation of the finals which are
to commence shortly For while it
was thought that the deciding games
might begin this afternoon, but at a
of the schedule committee last
night it was decided to delay the final
contests until the beginning of the
week.
The results of the games thus far
have placed Welcome, Loomis, Whalen
and Hall as players likely to be in at
the finish, with the three latter Sc
lected to form trio from which the
champion will eventually win out.
Welcome has thus far not lost a
single game out of twelve played.
though he has yet several hard con-
tests before him. Whether or not he
will be able to withstand the strong
game of Loomis, Hall and Whalen re-
mains to be seen, though it would ap-
pear probable that one of the three will
get the better of him in the end.
Hall looms up as formidable and
trained to the dot, appears incapable
of weakening under the most gruelling
struggle.
Loomis lost his only game to Whalen
while Hall also went down before the
crack little Irshman. A disappointing
though unavoidable feature of the
tournament was the withdrawal of Joe
Amestov because of an injured hand
Joe started out with a vengeance and
without a doubt would have been well
along in games won.
Interest in the court game has in
creased a hundredfold with the staging
of the tournament, and when cham
pionship contests are not in order the
alleys present scene of constant ac-
tivity with ambitious novices training
for tournaments to come.
