MAY SIGN
WITH SOLOMON
MEN WILL TALK BUSINESS
THIS MORNING
Champion Says the Local Boy Must
Make 122 Pounds Thirty Min
utes Before They Enter
the Ring

Tom McCarey said late last night that
he was certain of matching Abe Attell
and Kid Solomon for a twenty-round
battle at 1872 pounds thirty minutes be-
fore the men entered the ring.
Attell and Solomon met last night at
Greenewald's cigar stand where Solo
mon broached the subject of a future
encounter. Finally Abe agreed that
Solomon was as easy as the rest, and
named this morning as a time to sign
articles. Solomon promised to be on
hand, and unless the boys have changed
their minds since last night there will
be something doing when McCarey
reaches his office today.
Solomons friends are wondering
whether he will be able to stand up
at the weight. 1t is claimed that he
pounded something over 1875 last Friday
night and looked like a starved Cuban,
his ribs showing plainly beneath the
ducky skin.
Attell cannot be blamed for holding
Solomon to 122 pounds, even ringside.
Able Is champion at the recognized
featherweight limit, and there Is no
reason for the knocks which have been
given him relative to fear of Solomon
Already some are jumping to the con-
clusion that Solomon stands a great
chance of knocking out the little He
brew, because of his good left arm.
Solomon's left, however, has thus far
appeared to be his only Furnishing
asset though he has sent many a man
to the floor with it. Attell realizes
what he must avoid, and the chances
are that Solomon will experience some
difficulty in bringing his single weapon
into play.
Attell on the night that Solomon
fought Sheek declared that he would
never agree to meet Solomon unless ne
was guaranteed a stated amount for ais
services, as he did not believe Solomon
would draw. Evidently Abe has changed
his mind.

SMITH JOINS
ANGEL BAND
WILL HOLD DOWN THIRD BASE
FOR BERRY
Eager Reaches Los Angeles-sersphs
and Giants viii Play To-
morrow After
noon

Manager Berry last night added the
name of Jud Smith to his roster of
Angel ball players, and unless the un-
foreseen occurs Smith will hold down
the difficult corner for another year.
Bobby Eager also blew in from the
north last night and will be out in a
suit at Santa Monica this morning.
With Clark and Eager. Berry has a
likely brace of backstops who should
hold their own with all corners during
the season.
If the affair can be arranged there
Will be another game of ball tomorrow
afternoon between the New York Giants
and the Angels at Chutes park. Fri
day has been set as the Giant day for
leaving Los Angeles. San Francisco
enthusiasts have prevailed upon Nc
Graw to take his nine north and in all
probability they will be travelling Fri
day night.
1t seems assured that Los Angeles
will see the Giants back again next
year, as Secretary Knowles states that
McGraw has every intention of re-
turning for another practice season.
The Workers were out again yester-
day morning and after luncheon kept
at 1t until sundown. Bowerman is
working especially hard, as he has not
been here so long as the others and is
anxious to gain every bit of time pos
sible.
Shortstop position on the Angel team
is apparently untitled and haste must
be made. Mcintyre will hardly be re-
tanned, though he may be given an
other chance in the game tomorrow.

TRACK ATHLETES

GREAT MEET SCHEDULED FOR
SATURDAY
Los Angeles High School Will Not Be
Officially Represented, Owing
to the Stanford Con-

Scholastic track athletes of South
ern California are eagerly anticipating
the cinder tournament which is to be
held next Saturday on the oval al
Claremont under the auspices of Po-
mona college.
Harvard military academy of Los
Angeles has one of the largest, repre-
sentations entered and should annex
a goodly number of points. judging
from past performances of the soldier
cinder path men.
Los Angeles high will not be repre-
sented officially owing to the fact that
the local men are to travel to Stanford
next week for the purpose of compet-
ing in the university meet.
Williams and Pillsbury of the high
school, however, have entered of their
own account, the former being out for
the hurdles, while Pillsbury will go at
the mile. High school lads of Los An
geles are indignant over the fact that
charges have been made to the effect
that they feared to enter the Claremont
meet.
Such is not the case, as every effort
must be made and energy saved for
competition with the strong northern
teams which have entered.

WAITRESS SAVES
EMPLOYERS LIFE
SM0THERS FIRE IN HEAVY
BLANKETS
Mans Clothes Catch Fire While He
Is Working over a Cook Stove
and He Is Severely
Burned

Bravery and presence of mind on the
part of Miss Bessie Kohler, a pretty
Waltress, saved the life of G. M.
keeder, proprietor of the lunch counter
at $40 East Sixth street, last night
when he was severely burned bv the
explosion of a gasoline stove.
Reeder was Iat work in his restau-
rant, which was filled with customers
at the time. Miss Kohler was waiting
on the tables, when suddenly flames
burst out and the cook stove at which
Reeder was working was blown from
its stand across the room. Reeder was
enveloped by the flames and fell to the
floor, writhing in agony.
Rushing from the room, Miss Kohler
returned In moment bearing blankets
and wrapped them around the uncon-
scious man. She then ordered the Gus
toners who had recovered from their
fright to bring water and soon the
flames were extinguished
Reeder was taken to the receiving
hospital, where IL was found his arms
and hands had been badly burned and
the hair had been singed from his head,
1t is thought the explosion was
caused by a leak in the pipe connects
ing the stove with the tank containing
the gasoline.

DETECTIVES HAVE
ANOTHER THEORY
BELIEVE TREASURY FUNDS
WERE LOANED
Banker, in Financial Straits, May Have
Tempted Government EmpIoye
to Hand over $4,000
in Cash
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March ia new field in
the investigation of the sub-treasury
robbery is being explored by the federal
authorities. 1t was suggested that
some banking institution of Chicago
needed a large sum to tide over tenn
porary deficiencies and is responsible
for the disappearance of the $4,000.
The secret service operatives, 1t be-
came known yesterday, are working on
the theory that the money that disap-
peared from the cage of Asserting
Teller George w. Fitzgerald on Feb
ruary 20 was borrowed for day or two
at the instance of a tottering instttu-
ton by some employe who now fears TO
restore it.
Chief Wilkie and Capt. Porter would
not be surprised, 1t is asserted on the
highest authority, if the missing money
were to be restored at any day.
Work on New Theory
For the last week the secret service
bureau have been directing nearly all
of it's energy in the direction of fixing
the identity of some Chicago bank or
trust company that was in an unsound
| financial condition, and to preserve lis
commercial life and save its officers
from cells approached some employe OF
the sub-treasury and made this propo-
sition:
1--WE need $4,000 for a day or two
| to tide us over a visit by the banl
examiner. You are in a position to loar
us this money without it's being missed
Let us have the money and we will pay
you bonus of $4,000 or so. You take
no risk. We are responsible people. Il
is easy money"
Money Taken from Cage
The money was taken from the cage
the federal authorities believe, under
some such arrangement. Then before
1t could be restored it was discovered
that there was shortage. The mar
who took it, in the hue and cry that
Immediately followed when every EN-
ploye was watched closely was in nc
position to return it. He fears to do SC
now. The secret service men, however
confidently believe that the money sons
day will be found hidden away in SOME
place in the sub-treasury.
In pursuance of this theory the finan'
cial status of more than one banking
institution in Chicago has been quietly
| investigated.
