SWIMMERS WILL
HAVE LONG RACE
For Side Bet of $3.50 Long Beach
and San Pedro Men Agree to
Contest in the
Ocean

| Special to The Herald
LONG BEACH, July ga week from
tomorrow Walter L. Cunningham. a
member of the Bath House company's
life saving crew and holder of Car
negie hero medal, and George Burgess
of San Pedro will swim race from
the San Pedro breakwater to the Long
Beach pier, a distance of five miles.
The contest was agreed upon today
and each of the swimmers will put up
side bet of $3.50, the winner to take
all. Burgess will have a handicap of
five minutes.
Cunningham, who has quite record
as a swimmer, but has only recently
come to this coast is "a years old and
weighs 165 pounds. He is 1.-THE and mus
cular. Burgess is several years his
senior and much heavier. Cunningham
says he can average a mile in twenty
six minutes if the ocean is not too
rough, and believes he can outstrip any
swimmer on the coast. He has won
medals in the United States and
abroad.
This will be the first long distance
ocean race held in these waters and
considerable interest is already being
manifested in the match. Several
launches will run alongside the swim

1t all came about because McCarey,
just before he left, told the one in charge
at the Pacific Athletic club, Little Lord
Fauntleroy, to go ahead and frame up a
try-out card for some time this month.
Lord got real busy, and the result is
that when the boss comes into Los An
geles tomorrow he will be greeted by
the following assemblage: Jimmy Aus

CAL EWING WILL
RETAIN DERRICK
President of Coast League Claims
Old Indicator Man Is as Good
as Perrine and Will
Stick

Pop Derrick, whose work with the
indicator has been so rank that every
magnate in the Pacific Coast league
has been forced to register a kick, will
hold down his job for some time yet,
despite the talk which has been going
around lately about his being fired out.
Derrick has one friend in the league
who is more powerful and can do more
to help him that all the rest of the
bunch put together, and this is j. Cal
Ewing, president of the league. Some
way or other Ewing seems to think
the old timer is all to the good, and
no amount of talking on the part of
his fellow directors can change the
presidents idea.
At a recent meeting of the Pacific
Coast league directors, which was at
tended by Senator Pendleton, presi-
dent of the Los Angeles Baseball
club; Manager Long of the Boodlers,
who is also secretary of the league,
and Ewing, nearly came to blows over
Derrick. Long, together with every
other manager in the coast ranks, in
sisted that Derrick should be fired, but
Ewing stuck up for his pet and held
on to him in the face of the opposi-
tion.
"As long as I'm president of this
league Derrick will hold his job" said
Ewing, land nothing you can say will
make me change my mind. He is just
as good as, if not better than, Perrine,
and he is going to stick
Now, isn't that a wise talk for the
president of the league to make? While
old Derrick probably needs the money
and has the best wishes of tie fans
in his unusually incompetent journey
through the daily games, the thought
of his being anywhere near Perrine's
class as an arbiter of the field is
enough to make those who have
watched the two men at work laugh.
Bull gets in wrong often enough, but
Derrick is that way most of the time,
and showers his poor blind judgments
all over the diamond.
There is nothing to be done, how
ever, as Ewing, as president of the
league, has the right to appoint or fire
umpires, and none of the other direc-
tors can interfere. Therefore Derrick
will probably be on the job for some
time but it won't be because his re-
tention is matter of universal agree
ment among the league directors.

Why Wall About Wind !?

About Venus there is not much room
to complain, SO Valkyrie and Merlin are
next in order. Someone recently took
great pains to tell US that the Squires
boat won't have a ghost of show in
the challenge cup races at San Fran
cisco next month. They based their
hypothesis on the fact that Merlin,
which Valkyrie defeated several min
utes in a recent match race, was left
thirty-seven minutes behind by Venus
in the beat up to Vincente and back on
Thursday.
Just like saying, "Why is a lemon"
or attempting to explain a syllogism in
logic by eliminating the major premise
Here we are, several hundred miles
from the course, bewailing the fact that
the home boat can't win because some
craft she once defeated was outsailed
by champion of what should really be
another class.
Valkyrie will be shipped to Frisco in
time to have a whole week to get
ready for the contest, besides which she
will be entirely rerigged after she is
launched into the waters of San Fran
cisco bay. With a crew of real sailors
a week should be ample time to tune
her up in the best of shape, and as for
the mournful wall that it always blows
in those waters, it is too ridiculous for
sober comment.

THE REALITY

of the game. The last named pair
hooked up at the recent tryout session
and Leahy won, and now Walsh is back
again in an endeavor to reverse the
order of things in the next battle. Jake
Arnold, the tough little boy from Whit
tier, will take on a newcomer in the
shape of Harry Rose, and from all re-
ports he will have his hands full.
The entire card has been arranged
and next Friday night will see the boys
get together at Maud junction. Ac-
cording to Lord Fauntleroy they will
perform in the following order:
Jimmy Austin-Jimmy Royal, four
rounds.
Andy Rivers, .n2;ny HanloE, four
rounds.
Harry Rose-Jake Arnold, four rounds.
Harry Fitzgerald Henry Harris, four
rounds.
Tommy Leahv Jack Wal1h, ten
rounds.
Abdul the Turk-Roy Page, ten rounds.
Leonard Lauder-"Kid'' Berry, ten
rounds.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-07-07

Arnold. Harry Fitzgerald and Henry
Harris, Tommy Leahy and Jack Walsh,
Abdul the Abominable and Roy Page,
and Leonard Lauder and Kid Berry.
This is the bunch McHuLh h has ar
ranged in honor of the big chiefs home
coming. The card has been slated for
the 18th of this month, which makes it
next Friday, and forty-six rounds of
fighting have been schedu
At that McHugh's maiden effort as
an almost manager is not so rotten
when you come to look at it little bit.
The Leonard Lauder-Kid Berry ten
round session, which is billed as the
feature of the evening, ought to be
well worth the money, as the boys are
of about the same caliber.
OF course Berry has all the best of it
so far as natural weight is concerned,
for Lauder is in the 125-pound division
and will be stepping ahead six pounds
to meet the Kid. AS the match is
arranged the boys will tip the scales at
1S1 at o'clock Friday and even with
this advantage in front of him Lauder
was willing to make $3.50 ct that he
Los Angeles herald., 1907-07-07

can win. Lord Fauntleroy is authority
for this bet, but as he insists that it is
all real money no one can presume to
doubt.
Jimmy Royal and Jimmy Austin are
slated for four-round even, to open
the evenings hostilities. The Royal
boy was quite favorite with the Nor
mons in Salt Lake a few months ago,
and for a little fellow ir quite lad.
His opponent is not celebrity, but
they say he can go some without a
reputation.
And then Abdul the Abominable will
make his temperance into the local
spotlight. The Turk has been all over
the countr:- since he was last seen
here, and made quite a hit IN both
San Francisco and Philadelphia. In
fact. his hit in the northern city was
quite pronounced, for in a battle with
Joe Summers he hit the mat with force
enough to hold him there for the regu-
lation ten seconds-and ten some.
Of the other boys. Jake Arnold and
Tommy Leahy and Jack Walsh are the
only ones known to the local patrons

MAYBE WE COULD WIN
SOME BETS ON THIS KIND

Joe Joker, king of guideless harness
horses, has been engaged for four per-
formances at the Elm Ridge, near
Kansas City, track during the two
weeks of the Interstate fair and ex-
position. without driver or hobbies,
Joe Joker goes around the mile track
in 2:16%. 1t plays it's part with almost
human intelligence. 1t is the most in
teresting performance ever seen on a
race track. The horse PAGES the mile
without a break. 1t goes around the
track alone and there is not a word
spoken to it from the time it starts
until it has stepped the mile heat.
When the mile is over the horse slows
up and returns to the judges stand the
same as the horse to the sulkey.

IT HOMAS JEFFERSON McCAREY,
leaving San Francisco in his gaso-
line carriage last Friday morning,
had very pleasant dream as a me-
mento of the little occasion when a
rube named Squires donned a pair of
mitts and attracted brief attention. The
local impresario saw visions of pro-
noting a contest which is about the
most desirable now possible in the
ranks of the heavyweight near cham
pions-Tommy Burns and Mike Schreck
and the prospect of putting such a
card before his patrons caused the meal
ticket man to forget to stop when a
San Jose copper hailed him for break
ing the speed ordinance.
All the way down the coast, in
through Santa Margerita, over the
Gaviota pass and through the beautiful
mountains of Santa Barbara county the
dope held out. Yesterda. McCarey
arrived in little village called Santa
Ynez, and with Schrecl- and Burns still

LII llS ydCHllHS SEASON well
Wv under way, and four of the
most important races now mat
ters of history in the log of the South
Coast Yacht club one is almost justi-
fled in selecting certain favorites in the
respective classes. In this respect it
is inevitable that some ones pet theo-
r1es will be exploded, while others will
lind fault with the separate points of
sailing, or the way certain sails set and
so on.
Taking the San Pedro fleet in the
order of their size, the first to come
under the ban of discomfort are De-
troit and Yankee. The former is still
an unknown quantity, and it was a
sore disappointment that she was un-
able to enter in the Fourth of July
race. AS last years winner of that
trophy, she should, by all of the un-
written rules Of good sportsmanship,
have defended the cup. Granting that
her inability to do so was purely ac-
cidental. Skipper Dodge has the SYM
pathy of all liberal minded sailors But
with all his vast experience it seems
that something was lacking in the man
agement of her that would attempt to
start in race without at least a
weeks preliminary trial.
OF course, in the case of Detroit, a
weeks tryout was impossible, owing
to the fact that her new sails were late
in arriving from the east, and the mis-
hap to the old suit is so we'll known as
to preclude repetition here. There is
not so much excuse in the matter of the
newly fitted fin keel, but it goes with
out saying that the trouble could not
have been discovered before her sails
were bent. Here's hoping Dodge will
get her in shape in plenty of time for
the trip to Venice.
And Yankee. same kind of a hard
luck story, only it comes in several
chapters. In the first race when she
went over the course to determine her
good points, Densham had the mis-
fortune to carry away his balloon jib
On the Long Beach course there was
some misunderstanding as TO the time
of the starting gun, besides which it
was not really intended to put her
against the class B boats that day.
On Thursday the parting of her bob
stay was entirely unforeseen, and while
Jack is big enough to have tied a
square knot in it and kept on, but he
didn't want to get his feet wet. The
Lake Michigan freak will have to be-
have much better in the future, or she
will be relegated to the has-been class.
Is Light Weather Boat
Columbine, the freak flatboat that
Fulton built for Capt. Mitchell, is the
real problem of the fleet. Had there
been a race for the Upton cup this
year she would have fulfilled her own
ers purpose by winning it. But the
decision of the board of directors to
go to Santa Barbara instead of San
Diego, has put all chance of that race
off for another year. and with the dis
placement rule that will go into effect
in time for next years sailing, Colum-
bine will be outclassed.
In the first race, which started in
fair breeze and finished a drifting
match, Columbine's victory over Mis-
chief II was entirely matter of luck.
On the Long Beach course she did bet
ter work than at any other time, but
even then she had hard work to get to
Los Angeles herald., 1907-07-07

W1ndWard of the whistler, because OF
the heavy sea outside of the break
water. Columbine is a good sailor in a
light breeze and smooth sea. Her i'm
mense sail area gives her great ad-
vantage in this class of work, but on
the other hand, she more than pays for
it in anything like breeze such as last
Thursdays race was sailed in.
OF course Fritz Whitney is largely to
blame for her poor showing when close
hauled, for he won't keep his feet out
of the water but on the trip up to
Vicente he would have had to stand
on his head to accomplish such a feat.
Just because he is on the water
wagon, Fritz must not think it neces-
sary to keep Columbine water logged.
Crew Should Learn to Whistle
Capt. Mitchell still has confidence in
his skimming dish, and after her hard
work in the Fourth of July race, de-
cided to have her fitted with a new
suit of sails.
With Mischief II, the reason for her
losing so often this season seems to
have been more in the management
than in any reject in her construction
Folsom always manages to get good
start, but on three occasions he was un-
able to get lCok in at the finish. In
the first race Mischief was defeated by
a tickle breeze-Folsom's fault, he
member how easily Columbine drifted
over the finish line four minutes
ahead?)
Then on the Long Beach run, just
when he needed them most, Walter let
his throat halyards carry away, and
had to be towed home. On the run
around Catalina, same story of first
rate start and second finish. But she
found her old stride in the wind jam
ming contest of Thursday, though not
without buckling her spreader or car
rying away a backstay just to show
that she could, and now one cannot get
within seven miles of the Orpheum for
the warm fog emanating from the satis-
fed tars.
To Accommodate Amateur Tars
AS soon as possible after the Panama
canal is finished the S. c. Y. c. ought
to petition congress to have a canal
cut in the middle of the San Pedro
breakwater for the exclusive use of
Monsoon and Skidoo, so that they can
make the whistling buoy off Point
Firmin the same day race is sched-
uled to start. Monsoon, on several oc-
casions of her racing career has had
trouble in crossing the finish line with
the others, and with perfectly good
reasons, too. But why she should have
been so late in making the whistler on
Thursday is difficult to understand. 1t
has been said that she was short
handed, but if so, she should have been
higher out of the water and made bet
ter time.
AS it was, she gave Columbine good
chase, and had some provision been
made for allowing her the time lost in
starting, Skipper Pugh might have been
persuaded to finish the race instead OF
going home from the end of the break
water. On all sides it was conceded
that the heavy weather was just to
Monsoons liking, and she did like it
while it lasted.
1t is to be hoped that some day we
shall see Monsoon sail a good race in
a stiff breeze with Columbine and Mis-
chief II. There is enough difference in
