CATAPULT
Los Angeles optician sustains Serious
Injury When Fellow Swimmer,
Thrown by Giant Comber,
CoIIdes with Him

Special to The Herald.
OCEAN PARK, July A.-George Heili-
gers, an optician 81 years of age, who
resides at Gil Palms avenue, Los Angeles,
sustained a broken leg while bathing In
the surf in front of the bath house at D
o'clock this afternoon.
A high sea running made surf bathing
extremely dangerous and only few OF
the thousands who went to the plunge
dared to go into the water beyond a few
feet.
Some hardy swimmers tried to get be-
yond the breakers, but were buffeted by
the giant combers and thrown ashore.
Mr. Heiligers had been swimming in
side the breakers and was thrown far
up on the beach. He arose to his feet,
resisting the strong backwash from the
wave. He braced his feet in the sand
for the next incoming wave. The breaker
burst close in with terrific force. A stall
wart swimmer was hurled with terrible
force headlong against Heiliger's right
leg.
Mr.. Heiligers is a strong man and
stands six feet tall. The mans head
crushed both bones of Heiligers right
leg below the knee.
The injured man fell with a cry of
pain. He was carried out by the next
wash, but almost instantly hurled back
on the sand by a big wave.
A dozen men who saw the accident
rushed to Heiligers' rescue and he was
carried to the bathhouse, where his in
juries were attended by physicians.

Telephone OPERATORS
SUCCUMB TO EPIDEMIC
MORE THAN HALF "HELLO" GIRLS
DON'T FEEL WELL
Give Headache as Excuse for Not Ap-
pearing for Duty, but Heart
Trouble Is Held Chief
ly Responsible

Users of telephones who were absent
from Los Angeles last night have good
cause to congratulate themselves, for had
the weather been unpleasant ana they
been compelled to remain in town instead
of visiting the beach resorts it is possible
there would have been tie"up on the
local lines.
AS it was only a few calls passed over
the boards of the exchanges of the two
companies, and consequently the girls on
duty were able to handle the business.
1t is one of the rules in the local offices
that each girl is entitled to one night
week off.
This night she may select herself, pro-
viding she chooses any but Sunday night
That night is barred, as to allow 1t would
be considered by many girls mark Of
favoritism.
Once every three months each girl is
allowed Sunday night, but many of them
think the time is too long and endeavor to
steal one between times If possible.
There is only one good excuse through
which girl may get an additional Sunday
night, and that is when she pleads sick
ness
The consequence is that if health Of
ficer was notified of the many cases re-
ported to the telephone offices each Sun
day night he would hasten to those places,
Fifteen Girls Sick
In the Home telephone Office in Los An
geles twenty-five girls are supposed to be
on duty Sunday night. Last night there
were ten there.
The remaining fifteen were home sut-
fering headache, toothache, lung trouble,
etc., etc. Their excuses had all arrived at
the office early and they had been ex-
cused.
In the Sunset Office things were nearly
as bad.
More than half the girls supposed to be
on duty had contracted some kind of an
illness and sent her small brother or
some friend with an excuse for her
absence.
In each case they had to be accepted,
| yet strange to relate each of the girls who
laid off will probably show up today,
happy and smiling, completely recovered
| Both telephone companies have been
running short handed for some time, ac-
! cording to the statements of the man.
ayers
For some reason young women seem to
object to working in the telephone offices,
and despite the fact that fair salaries are
paid and short shifts allowed they seem
TO prefer working in the department stores
or offices.
One of the reasons given for this is that
the girls employed by the telephone COM
panies are compelled to attend strictly to
business during the working hours and
! that little time is allowed for visiting.

MOTOR CAR MAKES
SUCCESSFUL TRIP
CLIMBS MT. WILSON WITH FIRST
HEAVY LOAD
Carrying an Eieht-Ton Weight the
Truck Made Slow Progress
on the Soft, New
Trail
Pasadena Agency.
n North Raymond Avenue,
Phones: Sunset 1907, Home 2124.


PASADENA. July 21.--After two days
of climbing at sanirs pace, the big au-
tomobile truck of the Carnegie color OBJ
servatory, carrying a combined weight
with load and truck of eight tons, arrived
at the top of Wilson'S Peak at /: 80 o'clock
this afternoon.
Notwithstanding the slow progress the
trip was successfully made. Much of the
trail is made of earth, and this being
new and not having yet fully settled, it
would not support the great weight of the
truck and much delay was occasioned
by the wheels miring several times from
six to eight inches in the soft, dry road
bed When this occurred there was moth
ing to do but jack up the machine and
put under 1t a solid foundation.
Barring minor accidents the truck
reached the top sound and in good con-
dition. 1t will make the return trip to-
morrow morning.
Last night the machine was stalled at
Martins camp, one mile below the top
of the peak, and while all the morning
and till 1870 o'clock in the afternoon was
required in going from there to the
summit on account of delays at soft
places, the actual running time for this
distance was only one hour. Turns around
the short bends in the trail were made
with ease. Only once or twice did a
switchback have to be made in getting
around a bend.
There are many tons of structuaral
material to be taken to the peak for
building the dome and foundation for the
new 60-inch rejecting telescope This is
now ready at the shops here in Pasadena
and will be taken up the trail as fast as
practicable. By the time it is all moved
up work will probably be done on the
big reflector, and from the success of
the auto truck on its first trip there will
be no difficulty in hauling up the lens
This auto truck Is a triumph of skill in
construction in the local shops on Santa
Barbara street. When first purchased it
was tried on the trail and found wholly
inadequate to the work required. 1t was
then taken to the shops here and entire
ly remodeled under the direction of Prof.
Ritchey and the observatory machinists.
with the result that it has been success
full on the first trip AS soon as the weak
places in the road are repaired the trip
to the peak can probably be made in a
day. But for the time lost in remodeling
the truck work would have commenced
on taking up the structural materials two
months ago.
Prof George M. Hale, director of the
solar observatory, is at present abroad.
While there he will look after the cast
ing of the 100-inch disc for the biggest of
all the telescopes. This disc is being made
by French manufacturers.

WILSON WINS GAME
WITH TIMELY HIT
CLOUTS BALL IN LAST ROUND
WITH BAGS FULL
Del Reys Stay in Lead from First Act
to Final Spasm, but Pasa=
dena Finishes
Fast

Loose fielding and the inability of Pitcher
Raleigh to stop the opposing batteries from
getting to his delivery at the right time caused
the Del Reys to lose a close game to Pasa-
dena at Pasadena yesterday but at that 1t
wasn't until the ninth inning that the game
was definitely decided
All the way through to the last act the Del
Reys led their opponents pretty much as they
pleased. Four runs scored in the opening
round following by two more in the second
gave the beach combers what was apparently
winning lead, but which went back on them
in the end.
The Pasadenans made one tally in the first
spasm another in the third and then came
through with brace of them in the fifth. In
the ninth, and with the bases full, Wilson
came through with a most timely hit and
scored the winning runs.
In the first inning Allen, the Del Reys mana
ger and right fielder. walloped out a pretty
three Dagger, and Rodner made what was in
reality a home run, but which went for but
two bags because of ground rules. The score:

TOM MccAREY MATCHES MEN FOR
AUGUST DATE
CHAMPION TO RECEIVE $4,000 AS
HIS SHARE
Ben seIig, Negro's Manager, vii
Come to City at Once and
Sign Articles for
Battle

Manager McCarey Of the Pacific Athletic club
announced yesterday that he had practically
closed negotiations for a fight between Joe
Cans and Jimmy Burns, with the probable
date of the encounter set at the 18th of next
was wired late yesterday afternoon, and he
will leave San Francisco at once in order To
come here and sign articles.
Cans share of the $4,000 purse offered by
McCarey will be SS000-win, y lose or draw.
Burns will get the remainder of the big sum,
and 1t is expected that the house will go at
least $4,000. thus leaving the Pacific Athletic
club good profit.
1t was only after much persuasion directed
against Jimmy Burns and his manager, mo
lam Tommy Burns, that McCarey could get
them to agree to the arrangement. Burns
held out for either winner take all PROPOSE
tion, or else a 40 per cent cut regardless of
the outcome
Harry Leap, who was conducting negotia-
tions on the other end had easy time of 1t
in getting Cans to agree to the proposition.
The negro champion. although he looks on II
as a gift was out for all he could get, and
when eight thousand was shown as the final
figure he and Solig accepted.
While Cans is not expected to come down
with Seig today. he will undoubtedly train
IN the vicinity of Los Angeles and will drift
in many days tefore the battle With the
present mill in sight Selig will be forced to
let a match with the Britt-Nelson winner
go for few days, but as Cans expects to have
a comparatively easy time with Burns he VIII
look for a little something when the fight up
north is concluded
There was no hitch about the weight ques-
tion, and the men will be asked to step on
the scales at o'clock on the day of the battle
and tip the beam at the 1873 pound mark.
When the weight question was brought up
Yesterday Burns agreed to leave 1t to Cans
and fight at whatever weight the champion
desired
Cans was about as agreeable and said 1t
didn't matter what time or at what figure
he must weigh in Finally it was decided
to leave 1t to McCarey, and he set the time
at o'clock.
Mac showed his wisdom in doing this, for
in the past he has been stung on the weight
because fighters who were in line
for ringside balance came around with sew
eral pounds of surplus flesh on their frames.
This naturally brought forth a holler and
for the fans.
Burns will have the chance of his life in
fighting Cans, and if he is what his admirers
claim-of championship ability-Jimmy might
possibly get the negro No one knows how
much damage the fight with Nelson did to
the premier lightweight. and II it hurt him
to any considerable extent Burns will have
plenty of opportunity to sneak real one over
But Cans is apparently confident and along
with majority OF the sports does not rate
Jimmy Burns anywhere near so high as GER
tain Of the latter's friends.
