COACH WANTS GAME FOR,
HIGH SCHOOL SECONDS

Coach Sorensen of the Los Angeles
highs has at last awakened to the fact
that he has a second team that woule
like to play few games. With the OBJ
ject of giving them a good time he is
trying to arrange a schedule by which
they will be able to play a few times be-
fore The season ends. One game is now
being arranged to be played the middle
of this week with the second st. Vim
cent team.
The first team was out for practice
last night and seemed in the best of con-
dition. The men are working hard for
the game with Santa Ana that is tc
come off next Saturday. This game was
to have been played at Santa Ana. but
Manager Howard is trying to have
played at Fiesta park, as there is nc
game scheduled for that place on thai
day.
When the coach was asked if he in
tended to play the st. Vincent first team
he said he would probably try to ar
range a game with them for Christmas
day. but as it depends a good deal on
the outcome of the game Thanksgiving
when his team will play the champion
team of the north he could not make
any definite statement as to just what
would happen.

HOLD UP CRAIG'S JOB
FOR ANOTHER WEEK
Council Will Ponder Longer on crea.
tion of Supervisor of Licenses,
Which Position Auditor
Mushet Recommends

Not for a week will James Craig, for
mer police commissioner, take hold of the
office of supervisor of licenses, which
position is about to be created for him by
the city council.
Auditor w. C. Mushet on his return
from the east reported that Los Angeles
would collect more taxes and do so more
cheaply If the license branch were placed
in one mans hand, with police authority
to enforce it's provisions.
The job pays $175 a month.
The delay yesterday was due to the fact
that Councilman Wren argued that Great
ing such supervisor would necessarily
throw out of office three or more men in
Tax Collector e. r. Johnson's office who
now go out collecting license taxes. The
new ordinance makes all license appli-
cants pay their cash at the city hall. Mr.
Wren argued that uniformed policemen
would make the best collectors, merely
arresting those who are delinquent with
their licenses.
AS a result of the differences the coun-
ell laid the whole question over for 8
week.

GOTCH SAYS JOE
ROGERS IS EASY
CHAMPION THINKS O'ROURkE'S
MAN A CINCH
Does Not Sec Where Promoter Has d
Right to Represent America in
Loncon Against Russian
Hack

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Nov. 1S.-Fran1
Gotch, the American champion wrestler,
thinks it is an injustice to American mat
artists and the public to have man like
Joe Rogers of New York represent Amer
lea against George Hackenschmidt, the
worlds champion, in match for the title
in London, England.
What right has Tom O'Rourke of New
York to take a man like Rogers-a man
/ can throw ten times in an hour-to
England to represent this country in a
match for the worlds championship?
said Gotch today. "Why, there are sew
eral wrestlers here who can beat Rogers,
Fred Beell of Marshfeld, Wis, would
make him look like a second-rater.
don't mind the man going over to get the
money, but let him go into his class. and
not pose as champion of America when
he is nowhere near it.
II have tried hard to get match with
Hackenschmidt for the last two years,
but have not succeeded, and the only con-
clusion to be reached is that he is afraid.
The Kansas City convention hall people
offered Hackenschmidt $4,000 cash for five
exhibition matches and a purse of $10, 900
to wrestle me for the title, the same to
be split any way he wished-winner take
all, rs and % or so and 5O-but he declined
all propositions on the pretext of having
theatrical engagements.
''That was two years ago, and he still
claims to be champion, although he re-
fuses to wrestle for the title. He was
offered $4,000 cash to make the trip here,
and he could have had $4,000 if he won.
That is pretty high and more than he
can make in England in the same length
of time. He is faint-nearted, in my opin-
ion, and not good champion

SAVED FOR WET WEATHER

Socks" Seybold, the Athletics big right
fielder, is another one of the Willie Kee-
ler-Fielder Jones-Fred Clarke-Hans Wag-
mercy Young class of ball players, mas
much as he does not have to worry about
his future as ball player, Seybold is in
a fair way to become a rich man before
many years. Capt. Harry Davis of the
Athletics is authority for the statement
that Socks has very bright future
prospects.
A few years ago Socks" and his
father purchased 791 acres of land in
Randolph and Webster counties, West
Virginia. 1t has turned out to be rich
with soft coal and timber. The timber
has been allowed to stand for years, and
consists of the choicest hardwoods and
walnut That alone makes the land very
valuable.
Seybold will sell the property If he gets
his price. He has placed it in the hands
of Harry Davis to secure a buyer, and
Davis has sent several parties to West
Virginia to look over the property.
In the event that they fail to sell the
land Seybold and Davis will organize a
stock company and develop the land
themselves. Davis believes there is
enough coal in the 791 acres to furnish
mining for many years to come, and If
properly worked seybold has big for
tune in front of him.

Orlando *. Fitzsimmons of ill-fame in
connection with the notorious Cumulative
Credit company which operated from
palatial offices in Los Angeles and San

Judge Olin Wellborn, in the United

remittitur following the refusal of the
United States circuit court of appeals to
sustain Fitzsimmons appeal and the sen-
tence went into immediate effect. The

and his offices in the Mason building
looked like the headquarters of big cor
poration. But l.: Il. Valentine, who was
United States district attorney at the
time, finally accumulated enough evidence
to obtain his indictment before the grand
jury, and he was convicted October O.
1905. Ever since that time Fitzsimmuns
has put up hard legal fight for freedom
but his attorneys, Walter e. Bacon and
Burrel ID. Neighbours, were unable to
clear him.
The Cumulative Credit scheme was
worked on the idea of each subscriber
putting in about S1OO per month, and then
drawings were held whereby the lucky
subscriber got $3.50. The company de-
pended on the delinquency of the poorer
subscribers and the catching of fresh
dupes in large numbers to keep the farce
up. Many people of small means suffered
when the inevitable break came.

DETROIT, Mich, Nov. 1S-Now that
Dan Kelly, the Oregon sHRinter, has
matriculated at the University of Michi-

a fine chance to show his many critics
that he is the great sprinter, that the A.
A. u. has cracked him up to be.
Even though Kelly cannot compete in
the 1908 intercollegiate (on account of the
eligibility rules), he can start in the
scratch hundred at the University of
Pennsylvania relay games in April, where
he will measure strides with the cream
of the college dashers. If he can get

THINKS HIS SON
WAS KIDNAPPED
REDLANDS MINISTER ASKS AID
OF OUR POLICE
His Young Boy Gone, Clergyman Was
Told the Child Had Been Seen
Here in Company with a
Strange Man

'T am confident my boy has been kid
naped. To my mind everything points
that way"
With these words Rev. G. A. Lerma of
2SS Webster avenue, Redlands, told of the
disappearance three days ago of his Z
year-old son and enlisted the local police
in the search, for the lost child.
Paul Lerma, the boy, was last seen
by his relatives at the depot in Red
lands Friday. At the time he was stand
ing on one side. watching several lads
at play. When he did not return home
for dinner that day inquiries were set
on foot but no trace of the lad could be
found.
For two days Mr.. Lerma carried on the
search in Redlands, assisted by the police
of that city. Despite all their efforts they
failed to find any clue to the boys
whereabouts until yesterday morning,
when friends of the family who had been
visiting in Los Angeles returned and told
the grief stricken father that his son had
been seen in this city in company with
a man.
Wasted No Time
Mr.. Lerma wasted no time, but came
without delay to Los Angeles. Last night
he called at the office of the captain of
detectives and requested aid in his
search. He was told the local department
would do all possible to help find the
child and word was sent without delay
to all patrolmen in the city.
Mr.. Lerma is pastor of the Methodist
Episcopal church in Redlands and Is one
of the most prominent men there.
"I cannot understand why any person
would wish to kidnap my son." he said

'T have no idea where to look for Paul,
but I am sure the police and detectives

1.-THE boy would never leave Redlands
by himself, for, although fond of playing
about the depot he feared the trains
and would not board one of them unless
some older person was with him.

STAHL WILL PLAY
IF CHASE QUITS
YANKEES SIGN OLD TIMER FOR
COMING SEASON
ROLL According to Secretary
Nahon-Secured in
Trade

NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-It was an
nounced at the office of the Greater New
York Baseball club in the Flatiron build
ing that Jake Stahl. former manager and
first baseman of the Washington team,
has signed a contract to play with the
Yankees next season. If Hal Chase fails
to report next spring Stah will be as
signed to first base; otherwise he will be
tried in an outtield position.
Secretary Nahon, who announced the
Stahl deal, also took occasion to deny
the widespread report that Pitcher Fred
Glade of st. Louis had been transferred
to the New York club This rumor en-
anated from Boston, where it was said
that the American league club of that
city had traded Second Baseman Ferris
to New York for Frank Laporte. Ferris,
1t was said, had been passed along to the
st. Louis club in exchange for Glade.
1t now appears that Stahl was secured
in three-cornered deal between the Bos-
ton, New York and Chicago clubs sew
eral weeks ago. Stahl was on Chicago S
reserve list, but refused to play there.
He alleged that he was unfairly deprived
of his rights, and prepared to sue the
national commission. Chicago wanted
Infielder Parent of the Boston club and
traded Stahl for him. Manager Mcclure
wanted a second baseman, so he passed
Stahl along to the New York club for
Laporte.
The deal was made just after the season
closed, but Stahl Immediately announced
he would not play in New York or in
any other city unless he received a part
of the purchase money, claiming that he
was a free agent" Clark Griffith ar
rived in Chicago last week on his way to
Montana. He met Stahl and proposed
terms that satisfied the player. Griffith
then produced a contract. and the deed
was done. This move indicates that the
New York club is preparing to fill Chase's
place in case the young Californian re-
peats his tactics of last spring.
