AUTOMOBILE DEALERS
SHOW KEEN INTEREST
Rivalry Reaches Highest Point on the
Pacific Coast-Fight for Business
FIercer Than Ever This
Season

Rivalry is at its highest point among
the dealers on the Pacific coast. Each
dealer believes his car to be the best con-
structed and fastest car on the market
An incident that has recently occurred in
San Francisco demonstrates the fact that
the fight for business this next season
will be fiercer than even. Max Rosenfeld
the owner of large garage in San Fran
cisco, has sent challenge to one of his
friends who happens to handle a com
petitive line of high grade cars. These
two men have been friends for a Iona
time, but the talk concerning race be-
tween rival machines has brought forth
the challenge for a race. The challenge
follows:
f. G. Miner, Esq:
Dear Sir-I have your letter of recent
date and in reply wish to state that
Mr.. Hawkins challenged me one year
ago to race my Peerless against his
large touring car, and he made me
bet of $1,000. The challenge was ac-
cepted and the race was to have come
off at the next meet at Del Monte that
we could both attend. This bet was
made after had won the Del Monte
cup in 1906 against yourself. l then
drove a 30-hourse power Peerless.
Your challenge to Mr.. Hawkins I
have nothing to do with except that 1
am perfectly willing to have my car
made one of the three. This year I
had 45-horse power Peerless, while
you also had higher horse power car
than last year.
Since this time / have sold every car
that 1 will get for the season. retain
ing none for my own use and having
no demonstrator. At any time that
we have car on hand l shall be glad
to finish up my bet with Mr.. Hawkins,
a drive against your own good self.
Having won the Del Monte cup twice
in succession with 1906 Peerless I
have quit the racing game at the
urgent request of my family and
friends. have no objection to putting
another driver on and taking on your
match in addition to fulfilling my bet
with Mr.. Hawkins. The original race
conditions will not be changed, as 1t
was an individual match race. have
beaten you twice in succession, and IL
you want to race me again l think you
can be accommodated at any time that
might prove convenient to myself.
Having won the cup twice think 1t
is up to me-
MAX L. ROSENFELD.
Mr.. Rosenfeld Is expecting his new 100
Peerless car which has been shippe'
from the Peerless factory at Cleveland
and should race be arranged at som
time this winter great interest Is sure t
be displayed.

ST. VINCENTS AND
SHERMAN TO MEET
TEAMS ARE TO CLASH IN LOS
ANGELES
Indians VIII Try for Local Boys
ScaIps November 161-Utah
Game VIII Be Ex-
citing

Coach Walter Hempel of st. Vincent'f
last night signed a contract for game
with the Sherman Indians, to take place
in Los Angeles November 16.
St. vincent's will be kept busy with the
three big games of the season, the Uni
versity of Utah game week from next
Saturday, the Sherman indians, and after
that the University of Oregon, all to be
played in Los Angeles.
The Indians at the beginning of this
school year decided to abandon football
for this season, but later many of the
old crack players came back and now the
redskins are determined to go after the
paleface scalps.
Among the old men who will play again
for the Indians are Scholder, tackle and
end, who also coaches; Lubo and Lugo,
the two great tackles; the Coleman BROTH
ers, center and guard; Boles. end; Will
lets, also end, and Magee.
Manager E. e. Kightlinger of Sherman
and Coach Hampel for st. Vincent's
have finished all the necessary papers and
there appears to be no obstacle in the
way of the game for November 16.
The Utah boys, according to their own
figures. weigh 175 pounds on the average.
This is the University of Utah line
up. as given by Coach Maddox: An
derson, left end; Holmes, left tackle;
Seeley, left guard; Peterson, center;
Palm, right guard; Bryant, right tackle;
Snow, right end; Moore quarter; Ruffell,
captain, left half; Richardson, right half;
Conville, fullback.
Conville is the star of the aggregation.
He is responsible for several trick plays
which the Saints promise to use against
st. Vlncent's.
Conville will also employ forward
pass which he helped Coach Maddox to
perfect, and it is expected that this for
ward pass will make good gains for Utah.
Seeley is 250-pounder, but carries his
weight well. He is former Stanford
star.
Utah has played four games this sea-
son. The scores were: u. U. 10, Ogden
High O: U. U. 80, Salt Lake High 0; u. U.
"a, Denver University A; u. U. II. All
Stars
The All-Stars team is made up Of six
old football players who have played in
recent years on the best university elev-
ems in the country, besides five football
coaches, including Coach Maddox of the
Utah team Maddox was one of Michi-
gan's most famous players and was chos-
en by Yost and Casper Whitney as ALL
American and All-Western tackle.

BORCHARD CLUB MEN SUE
OWNER OF PRESERVE
Seven Members of Defunct orsanlza-
tIon Ask Damages for Alleged
Breaking of contract-Say
Land Was Not Improved

Difficulties which recently resulted in
the breaking up of the Borchard Gun
club were taken into the Superior court
yesterday in a suit brought by the seven
members of the club against Caspar Bor-
chard, alleging failure to comply with
his contract.
1t is alleged that the defendant agreed
to furnish thirty-five acres of land in
Orange county and to perfect it as a
duck preserve.
The club members were to pay .Borchard
$500 year up to 1910. and from then until
1915 5000 year.
The members allege the defendant has
in no way carried out his part Of the
agreement. and they have not been able
to hunt on the preserve on account of a
total absence of game, due to lack of
water.
The plaintiffs assert they have spent
$1S63.72 on club houses and have suffered
additional damage to the amount of
S226372.

RARE FISH

25 TONS OF YELLoWTAlL ARE
CAUGHT AT REDoNDo
Greatest School Ever Seen on Coast
BIackens Waters Around Wharf
No. 1 to Eat Juicy
Squid

The greatest run of fish in the history
of Redondo. according to old timers, oc-
Cured yesterday when an immense school
of yellowtail took possession of the waters
around wharf No. l.
The whole town of Redondo turned out
for the sport Real estate men closed
their offices, drug stores, groceries, butch
er shops and small retail stores were
closed. and the proprietors and clerks
Joined the crowds fishing on the wharf.
William Dolan of the Redondo Villa
Tract company was one of the lucky An
gelenos who shared in the fun and he
brought seventeen big fellows back to the
city.
''The scene was indescribable," he said,
"and never saw such sensational hsh-
ing day. The wharf was jammed with
fishermen and 1t was impossible for this
reason to use a rod and reel. 1t appears
that the yellowtail followed in huge
school of squid, or baby devil fish, whose
iellylike flesh is particularly dainty from
a yellowtail's point of view. The squid
sought the seclusion of the quiet water
under the wharf, where they were appar-
emily safe, as yellowtail stay in deep
water.
1.-THE yellowtail were so thick that they
actually turned the water brown. And
that isn't a fish story either" says Mr..
Dolan.
Everybody in Redondo fished yester-
day, and everybody that fished caught
from twenty to eight hundred fish. At
one time there were over 1900 yellowtail
on the wharf.
ut looked like a world of yellowtails.
There was plenty of the quid for bait,
and as fast as you threw out your line
yellowtail would grab 1t. saw one man
catch five yellowtail on one line
"One man told me when night came
that he had been at the sport since early
morning, when 1t was known the school
had come into Redondo, and that he had
counted all the fish he caught. He said
that he had captured 1927. Other men
told me that they mad succeeded in get
ting from 100 to 300."
Most of the yellowtail measured from
two and a half to three and half feet
in length.
Many tons of yellowtail were caught by
Japanese fisherman in nets.

HELENA, Mont, Oct. 22.-Financial
conditions in Montana never were better.
Record prices obtain for wool and sheep,
while cattle have commanded a material
advance over last year. Up to two
months ago copper sold at unusually high
prices, so that on the whole the present
year has been the most prosperous In
the history of the state. All crops are
of the bumper order and last reports to
the examiner show the state banks have
unprecedented deposits, surplus and re-

speculation in stocks in Montana aside
from outright purchases and the owners
