of the custom all sorts of people have fallen

COACH OF OREGON AeGIEs SAYS
THEY'LL BEAT SAINTS
Northwestern Champc Are Heavy

Vincent's on Speed, Clever
ness and Tricks

Local gridiron fans are now centering
their interest on the great Thanksgiving
game between st. Vincents and the Ore
gon Agricultural college, to be played
next Thursday afternoon at Fiesta park.
The northern rubes are the champions
of the northwest and Coach Norcross is
out with a statement that his Corvallis
heavy weights win take the Saints
scalps back to Oregon.
But as far as dope goes, Hempel's gang
should win November 2S, on speed. clever
tricks and a wonderfully developed for
ward pass John Gait is without an
equal in this new method, and throws the
oval forty-five yards. With Stoney
Keim, Taylor and De Yuberrando in good
condition, the locals will have the crack
lineup of the whole season. 1t is greatly
regretted that Leffert, who proved him
self the fiercest and surest tackler in
west rn football, is in hospital from
water on the knee.
The Aggies include the following play
ers: Cooper, left half; Barber, left
guard; Bennett, left tackle; Dunlap, left
guard; Emmly, left end; Jameson. right
tackle; Pendergrass, captain, right
guard; Kelly, center; Wolff, fullback;
Dobbin, right end; Cox. left half; Rhine

Maps and Yankees to Spend Spring
Months Where the Call of
n the Booze Cannot Be
Heard

At least two of the American league teams
Will get a taste of temperance by the whole
sale in the spring. The two in question are
Cleveland and New York, which Will train
emong the red hills of Georgia, which went
''dry'' at the recent election. After January
Georgia VIII be arid as Sahara and drink
ing emporiums will be scarcer than orange
trees in Greenland.
Not only are persons forbidden from selling
liquor in Georgia.. but it is also crime for
anyone to ask for a drink. In fact, clubs
win not be allowed to have their bufets as in
the past.
These facts should make Georgia better
state than ever in which to train. Not that
the average ball club is given to drinking,
but there always found few who like
to mix training with conviviality and these
few cannot avoid being benefited by the CON
dtions of affairs in Georgia during the train
ing trip.
For several years the Maps have been noted
through the baseball world being team
hich had fewer drinking men than the aver
age team. There are several Maps who never
have touched liquor, but on the other hand
there are some who while not drinking to
excess take enough to keep them from get
ting and keeping In good condition
So 1t will be coca cola and soda water for
tho Maps and Yankees next spring unless somo
method is discovered by the Georgians to Cir

ATHLETIC CLUB TO
HAVE GOOD TEAM
MANY oLD-TIME STARS OUT TO
GAIN POSITION
Local Organization Plans to Play Many
Post-Season Contests with Best
EIevens on Pacific
Coast

There win be something doing in the
line of fast football on post-season games
if the Los Angeles Athletic club puts it's
new star team in the field.
The Athletics say that they intend to
produce an eleven that will not only
clean up the local gridiron aggregations
but bring home the pigskin from the col
lege and athletic teams up the coast and
in the Rocky Mountain region.
Games are being arranged and the
schedule includes a clash with st. Vim
cent on New Years day and contest
against the Olympic club of San Fran
cisco. A game may also be played with
the Reliance club of the Golden Gate
burg, and 1t is possible that Portland or
Seattle may come through.
AS matters now stand it is understood
that the whole proposition hangs on Vice
President Garbutt, but there is little fear
that he will fail to give consent.
There will be no taint of professional
ism in the new organization, and every
player on the team will be a member of
the Los Angeles Athletic club.
Candidates Are Out
Already big bunch of promising candi-
dates have jumped forward for the yari-
Gus positions, and there will be several
hard fights for certain places.
Following are a few of the more promi-
nent players, all of whom are well known
in football circles as hot members: Elwin
Galley, the University of Colorado star;
Stan Mitchell Ben Warrington and Ted
Geisler of the Los Angeles high school
team; Thompson, who was one of Stan
fords whirlwind players; Traeger of
Stanford, who needs no word of explana-
ton; Wallace Robb, captain of Pomona
in 1903; Maccomber, the star University
of Chicago man; Graves, who made a
fine record on Brown university; Earl
Holland of the Los Angeles high 1904
team; Chet Haigler and Shute, both of
whom are among the best players on
u. S. c. this year; Ed Moriarty, the old
st. Vincent star; Whelan, who was a
member of the Los Angeles high state
championship team in 1903; and Elt
Brown, captain of Harvard.
The Los Angeles Athletic club should
certainly get up football team, but no
one. The club should have an eleven that
would make the organization known to
the outside and a favorite here.
For years the Denver Athletic club had
team that was the best in the west and
skinned everything it went up against
from the old Missouri Tigers to the Butte
Miners and the Colorado schools.
Other cities that pretend to be live ones
support good football representation.
If Frisco can boost the Olympic and
Reliance crowds Los Angeles ought to
be able to sustain one athletic club eleven.
The Multnomah team of Oregon is one OF
the best in the northwest and is drawn
from an athletic club.
One of the chief advantages of an ath-
letic club for a football team is that
the men are constantly kept in good con
dition, and If the boozers and Father
Time gang are kept out such an organi-
zation is as fine and fast as any foot
ball fan could desire.

FRIENDS GIVE DIAMOND
TO MELLODY'S CONQUEROR

ST. LOUIS. Nov. 2S.-The friends of Frank
Mintell to the number of about twenty-five
gathered at the East Side hotel on Broadway
for the purpose of giving him little reception
in honor of his recent victory over Honey Mel
lody. Thomas McArdle. his manager, had ar
ranged for the affair and a very pleasant all
though entirely informal program carried
out.
Shortly after the party had gathered in the
parors of the hotel McArdle stepped forward
and in few brief words presented to the
guest of honor handsome diamond horse
shoe pin, this being the gift of his Pawtucket
friends. The gift was very much of a surprise,
hut Mintell managed to express his thanks.
A little later the entire party sat down to a
supper which had been prepared by Caterer
Mulvey, and after the good things had been
thoroughly enjoyed hashight photograph
was made of the group.
During the evening there or two
songs and Messrs. Riley. Buckley and Nc
Gurk enlivened the party with stories of
personal experience which kept everyone in
good humor

HOLLYWOOD LOSES GAME
TO HARVARD PLAYERS

The football flag stlll waves proudly
over the Harvard school, for it defeated
the Hollywood boys yesterday afternoon
by a score of IS to 0.
The game was a fast one from start
TO finish, both teams being light and
speedy The Hollywood boys played a
good game throughout, but the soldiers
seemed to be a little too much for them
The Harvard team appeared in the best
of condition, the trip up north having
done them gooc.
Both teams used end plays and did not
depend on bucks, as they We're too light
TO make any showing that way The
ball was kept near the center of the field
during mos of the time but it was
taken into Hollywood territory when it
did move from the middle chalk The
Hollywood players were unable to make
any score, although the ball was near
the Harvard goal two or three times
The soldiers made their points on three
downs, two of which were not converted.
Their star aver was Brown, who did
all of the punting. Knowles and Taylor
were the star players for Hollywood.
The lineup was as follows:

hardened theatergoers sit up and gasp.
DR.. Clark enters a sixteen-foot latticed
globe and travelling at thirty-five miles
an hour circles round and round, being

fashion with the everyday utility of the

maintenance.
If the specifications of Mr.. Loder are
followed the county will have the best
roads obtainable, and the eastern motor
ist will have all the more inducement to
bring his machine to California when
he comes out here for the winter.
In a number of instances the new

NINE PosT-sEAsoN GAMES

CHICAGO, Nov 2S. President Murphy has
been quoted erroneously as favorpg an ex-
tension OF the world baseball series to six
out OF eleven games. on the contrary Mr..
Murphy, while earnestly advocating in his
letter to the national commission an increase
of the series from four out of seven to seven
out OF nine. declared he did not believe in a
further increase than nine.
& The successful official OF the worlds cham
pions is anxious that he be put right in this
matter. because the advocacy of what he pro-

lead naturally to the charge OF sordid motives

ENGINEERS ARE AT WORK ON
SEVERAL ROADS

Undergoing, Government
Test

c. d. Daggett, one of the members of
the Los Angeles county highway COM
mission, reports that there has been a
great deal of work already accomplished
by that body. The principal roads Of
the county have been inspected and two
corps of engineers are in the field gath
ering data upon which the commissioners
will base their recommendations.
The engineers are at work at present
on the roads to the north leading toward
Santa Barbara and Ventura. There are
three routes that can be utilized and it
may be that two of them Will be rec
commended If the Newhall road is used
there is a strong probability that the hill
will be tunneled about 800 feet west of
the present cut which would allow the
road to come out on the other side in
another canyon, from which it would
be no trouble to get back by an easy
grade to the road now in use.
The tunnel would obviate good part
of the climb that is now made necessary
to get to the cut in the top of the hill
and the gradient would be less. The
geological formation of the hill at the
proposed point of tunneling is such that
it would be comparatively easy to pene-
trate and the cost of maintenance would
be very slight, according TO the opinion
200 feet or less of soil above the tunnel,
and this, in the opinion of Mr.. Loder,
would not be likely to occasion any diff
ficulty The formation is composed OF
sandstone to a certain degree and the
slant of the formation is toward the
Southern Pacific tunnel so that there
would be little if any trouble from mols-
ture. A grade of or per cent in the
tunnel itself would take care of all
drainage
Santa Susanna Grade Favored
The Santa Susanna grade or Chats
worth. as it is better known, is favored
to a certain degree, but until the esti-
mated cost of the roads is completed
there is no way of predicting what the
final choice of the commissioners will be.
A large number of samples of road
making material have been gathered by
the commissioners and sent to Wash
ington to be tested by the government.

is acting with the commissioners, ad-
vises macadam road that IS well
