There was a small kid standing out
side the Grand opera house about 4:l5
O'clock Sunday afternoon, ana around
him was gathered ring Of admiring
acquaintances, who listened with pro-
found respect to his description or the
plav. He may not have been an au-
thority on matters dramatic. but he
had a good memory, and his description
of Secrets of the Police" was inter-
esting and unusual.

LOSE TO
THE CROWN CITY TEAM
Special to The Herald,

PASADENA, Oct. II. Pasadena
came off victorious in rafting good
game of ball this afternoon with the
Tufts-Lyons team of Los Angeles.
winning by the very close score of
S to Z. The result was in doubt from
start to finis.. but superior stick work
told in TIL long run and the winning
run was picked up by the Pasadenans
in the last half of the ninth.
The Tufts-Lyons have proved a hoo
doc to the Pasadena boys heretofore
but the problem was solved and the
locals remain at the top of the ANA
teur learue Of Southern California for
another week or so at least as a result
of the victory today.
The feature of the game was a Won
derful scoop catch by Daily in the
seventh Daily made the catch one
handed With his left nit and the spec
tators could hardly believe their eyes
when the centerfielder held the ball
aloft to show what he had done.
Daily also proved good with the
stick, making a home run while Hart
and Gray each made three hits, two
baggers and two singles. Kohn made
the hit In the last half OF the ninth
which brought in the winning run.
Wilson of the Tufts-Lyons did the
best batting for the visitors. He
knocked a three-bagger over center
and brought in two runs

GAINES AND BEALL
MATCHED FOR PRELlM

A preliminary for the Attell-Baker
battle which will arouse more or less
interest was that arranged saturday
afternoon between Billy Gaines and
Billy Beall. Gaines took a decision over
Godfrey prior to the O'Brien-Cooley-
Tremble AFFAIR, the fight being stopped
before six ~ounds had elapsed.
Beall. IL will be remembered, was
knocked out by "Rube" Jeffries before
that lamented ringster had received his
quetus. Beall claims that he has not
fought since HIS memorable debut but
that he has acquired considerable eX-
perience 49, mixing with live ones.
Gaines. according TO his friends, can
fight when some one makes him angry.
He landed but one blow last Tuesday
evening, but the single wallop was suf-
ficlent to blow Godfrey's lights out
The men have wagered 500 as side
bet In addition to the pL.so offered by
the Pacific Athletic club.

ATTELL P EP'RES
FOR HARRY B',.kER
BOTH FEATHERS ARE WORK
ING HARD
Abe Remembers Battle with frankie
Neil and Will EndeaVor to Attain
His Best Possible
Condition

Harry Baker and Abe Attell will now
come in for their share of the glare
which reflects upon gladiators about
to battle for q worlds championship,
OF all the titles involved that of feath-
erweight has no claimant other than
the Jewish boy, who without the slight
est semblance of a doubt Is king pin in
his class. That is, unless Harry Baker
springs a surprise within few days
1t will not be such surprise after
all-at least so far as some of Bakers
friends are concerned-should he an
mex the belt which Abe now carries
around. Attell will unquestionably en-
ter the ring u pronounced faVorite,
though the odds may not be extreme.
Both men were going 1t at q good
rate in the quarters yesterday, Attel
at Arcadia, and Baker at the East Side
gymnasium. When Attell came west
this last time he was not in the best
of condition and friends were quick in
advising him to get busy on the road
and in the training ring at the subur-
ban place.
Attell has improved vastly since en-
terng upon his work two weeks ago.
and the manner in which he daily spins
over the road is reminiscent of that
period which preceded the battle with
frankie Neil
If ever a man stepped between the
ropes trained to 81 superlative degree,
that man was Able when he shook
hands with frankie before the memor-
able fourth of July struggle. The out
come proved an object lesson to At
tell. Had he lacked an ounce of the
strength which stood him in stead that
day, there would surely have been an
other champion preparing to defend his
title Ever a careful trainer, the ad-
vantage to be gained were more point
edly forced upon Attell during that
battle.
As can readily be imagined Baker
is wasting no time. He realizes the
gigantic task before him and must
need husband all his stamina. With
Eddie Meeney and Eddie Webster,
Harry does big mans work every
day and appears to be rounding in
easy fashion. In fairly good trim be-
fore reaching Los Angeles, he is gaug-
ing his training in order to be perfectly
fresh with the gong.
Adherents of Attell are backing him
because of his superior ring expert
ence. Baker supporters point to the
Neil battle, in which frankie had no
end of past-gained knowledge TO aid
him.
There is something in what Baker
DeOplG CIdlIH Dul Tie ItCl llluSI llOl W.
overlooked that in the coming battle
Baker is going against a man of prac-
tically his own style. Attell does not
claim to be fighter pure and simple,
though his fray with Neil showed that
he can mix with the best of them.
oitted against Baker he may play
a boxing game, and in that event Ba-
ker will surely have a harder time
than with the fighting Neil.
Should they mix, the more expert
enced man may have an advantage.
According u frankie Neil, who surely
must realize how each can hit, Baker
has the harder wallop. Maybe frankie
was handing out the correct persua-
sion.. and then again perhaps the last
defeat appeared more severe, coming
as it did when he least expected it.
AT allevents it should be a great bat
tie while it lasts.

"A CRAZY IDEA" MAY
MERIT ITS NAME, BUT
IT'S A BARREL OF FUN

Ye who have tears (of laughter) to
shed go to the Hotchkiss this week and
shed them by the bucketfull. George

putting up The funniest conglomera tion

in being best friend to an actress and
of course he finds an impecunious men,

him to pay her costume bills, for which
his reward is sight of her In stage
clothes--consisting OF doublet and hose.
One may imagine. with this pre-
amble, that things are doing. They
are-from the overture's end to the
final curtain. A packed house last
night simply went into spasms OF
laughter and merriment, and the grins
resemblad those of so may Cheshire
cats clear till they boarded the c"rs
en- route home. So that, If ye have
AS the rich, still frisky but hen
pecked banker from Kokomo, one who
knows George Howard's work can see
visions of excruciating fun, one who
doesn't will never see him in a role
whereby his acquaintance can re made
any merrier. He is irresistible, and If
he could play THE Man from Mexico"
