Wilhelm Deserved Victory.

Atlanta made her runs in the second inning, gathering a couple off of one hit. Dyer walked, and Fox doubled, sending him to third. Then Paskert flied out to left, and both men advanced on the throw in, Dyer scoring, Fox landing on third Castro flied out to left and Fox scored
 Atlanta had few other good chances to score as Wilhelm was invincible, and with any kind of bunch hitting behind him would have won his game. The pitchers battle pleased the large crowd present.
 The hitters of the day were Alcock and Winters who drew three hits each, and Sid Smith, C. Smith, Walters and Meek with a couple each. Meek has made a splendid impression on the local fans through his hitting prowess all pitchers looking alike to him. The fans are rath- CT surprised that so good hitter should have been kept on the bench so long.

MANY ENTRIES FOR
VENICE DOG SHOW
WELL-BRED CANNES WILL BE
EXHIBITED AT BEACH
Dave katz Is in Charge of Ed Maier's
Dictator and Expects to Win
with the Champion
Pointer

Many entries from unexpected quarters
have been pouring IN to swell the already
large list of dogs that will adorn the
benches at the Venice of America kennel
show, which will be held at the end OF
this month. The exhibition promises to
be the best ever attempted in this part of
the state.
Already the official list contains en-
tries of over two hundred dogs, which
will make the big Venice auditorium echo
with their yelps during August 20, 30 and
81
Prizes and cups to the value of over
500 will be awarded to the owners of Win
ners This is the largest value ever dis
tributed at any dog show in this section
of the country.
Besides the many entries which Will be
made from this part of the state many
northern owners have decided to bring
the flower of their kennels to try for q
share of the premium list.
Huron Rock of Santa Barbara has noti-
fled the officials that he will bring his
English settlers to the Venetian benches.
w. K. Peasley's champion Wandee
Knight will lead the list of his fox
terriers
Col. ]. w. Brooks will be on hand with
his celebrated Boston terriers among
which is numbered champion Bayside
Chauncey. Paul Pipers Irish setter
champion, Shandon Ben, will be one of
the features of the show.
Besides these Miss Jennie Crocker of
San Francisco may bring a part of her
kennel south. Arthur Let's is almost sure
to be on hand with his champion collie,
Squire of Homby.
AS usual local kennels will contribute
largely to the success of the show. Los
Angeles and Pasadena will be largely rep
resented, while Santa Monica, Alhambra,
Ocean Park, NSan Bernardlno, Redlands.
Inglewood and Glendale will contribute
a liberal quota.
Ed. Maier's celebrated champion Die
tator will be handled by Dave Katz, who
will have a chance to demonstrate his
skill as dog trainer in presenting the
famous pointer. Katz is working on Die
tator all the time, and the well known
trainer is sure to put Maier's dog on the
bench in first class condition.

BATTLESHIP LIKE AUTO
is BUILT IN ST. LOUIS

A queer looking freak of an automobile,
built for a queer, eccentric man, is excit-
ing the curiosity of the people of st.
Louis, Mo-, where the machine is being
built.
The owner, Charles Mantzener, whose
history is unknown in st. Louis. refuses
to state for what use he intends his queer
looking car. The machine has bullet
proof covering with steel latticed win
dows and resembles a miniature battle
ship.
The interior of the car is hollow and
will hold about twenty men. 1t weighs a
ton and develops 45-horse power.
Mantzener, who claims to be a farmer.
paid cash to have the machine built, and
then asked to be employed by the factory
so that he could work upon it. The ma
chine cost $3.50, and he gets $3.50 per
week while it is being built.
The owner furnished the plans and spec
ifcations. The car is II feet long, 6 feet
high and feet wide. In a trial trip the
machine carried twenty-five men and
boys over the steepest hills around ST.
Louis.
The owner, who appears to be a for
eigner, refuses to say where he expects to
take the machine or to what use he i'll
tends to put it.

SAN DIEGO, Cal, Aug. 10-Rufe
Turner, the chocolate wonder, and Jack
Clifford, two of the best lightweights
in the game on the coast today have
signed articles for "a twenty-round
fight at 1873 pounds on the night of
August IA at the San Diego Athletic
club.
Local betting appears to favor Tur-
ner at 10 to T. but Clifford's supporters
are taking everything in sight at these
odds.
The men have shown considerable
animosity since they began training,
and local fans are taking sides to an
interesting extent. A mutual hatred
exists between Rufe and. Jack, and it
appears that they will take advantage
of next Tuesday nights bout to settle
old scores against each other.
1t is anticipated that the coming
scrap will be one of the hardest and
bitterest fights ever seen in this city,
and the largest crowd in the history of
local fistiana is expected.

cHRlSTMAN CAR BUILT
TO OPERATE ON DESERT

The long nsolved problem of build
ing an automobile which will meet con-
ditions of climate and use upon the
desert is about to be solved by local
builder and in local factory.
For years the miners of Nevada and
Arizona have been searching for a car
which would stand up to the strenuous
use that a car must necessarily under
go upon the desert and around mines.
The arid wastes of Death Valley and
the roads between Goldfeld, Tonopah,
Rhyolite and other Nevada mining
camps are strewn with the warped,
cracked and broken remains of nearly
every make of car known in the Amer
lean automobile vocabulary while
punctured tires. smashed tenders and
mangled tops festoon the sagebrush
along the various routes of travel.
About year ago a man from Tono-
pah by the name of Christman secured
the backing of local capitalists and
made model for a desert car This
car was placed on exhibition in the
local automobile show of last April.
1t was an experiment; the hackers of
the scheme got cold feet and the pro-
ject was abandoned.
But Christman himself never aban-
doned his original plans. Since the ex-
hibit he has driven his big black four
cylinder, nine pass enger machine over
all the rough roads that he could dis
cover in this part of the country.
Went Seventeen Thousand Miles
His roadometer registered 1900 of
the hardest miles that machine ever
ploughed over. From Los Angeles to
Ell Paso and return, another trip to
the Owens valley, through all the min
ing camps of Arizona and Nevada he
has driven his sturdy car.
So successful have his demonstra-
tions been that the Titus Iron works
at the corner of Central avenue and
Thirtieth street, have decided to enter
the venture and back Chris tman in the
manufacture of desert cars.
The new machine to be turned out
will be known as the "Christman" and
will be made in the Titus Iron works
The engine, the bearings, radiator
axles and few of the castings will be
brought from the east but most of
the parts, including the body of the
car, will be made in Los Angeles
Christman is now engaged in build
ing a desert runabout which he will use
for demonstration purposes. The
frame of this car will be of wood
Christman claims that steel frames
warp and crack on the desert. The
wooden frames will be reinforced by
