FOUR RACES
NEXT SEASON
BUSY SESSIONS FOR AMATEUR
SAILORS PLANNED
Germany's Turn to Compete Against
American seamen-canada and
Spain Also Talk of
Getting Busy

NEW YORK, Nov. A.-There is every
| likelihood of three and possibly four
| International yacht races on this side of
the Atlantic next season, and yachtsmen
who are Interested In small boats are
making their plans now to meet the con-
dit!ons of these contests. They will all
! be for small craft but small boat racing
has become so popular on this side Of
| the Atlantic that these races will prove
even more instructive than race for
| the Americas cup.
/ 1t is Germany's turn to visit this side
of the Atlantic and race against Amer

| won at home and the German yachts
men defeated them this year in their
waters and now the German sailors are
| ambitious to defeat the American here.
They learned lot when off Marbleheai
two years ago. so much that they were
able to win in a most decisive manner
when they met the American Sender
boats at Kiel this year. The Span
iards too. are ambitious and it is very
lprobable that races will be arranged to
be sailed ioff Marblehead next summer.
at which both German and Spanish
yachtsmen may compete
Whether the Sender class boats will oe
maintained or whether another class will
be arranged for has not yet been settled.
hut plans are now being made on both
sides of the Atlantic, and when COM
pleted will be announced by the Eastern
Yacht club committee, which mas
brought about these international contests
and carried them through to such sue
cessful finish.
Canadians After Cup
The Canadians are going to try to re-
capture the cup the American dories
won last summer when sailing off Shell
burne. That race was arranged by the
Shelburne Yacht club and the Massa-
chusetts Dory association, and the con-
ditions that governed the first race for
the cup will prevail in the next con-
test Each side will be allowed three
dories and a series of three races will be
sailed.
1t is very probable that the Canadians
will try to win back the Seawanhaka
gold challenge cup for small boats. This
| trophy Is now held by the Manchester
Yacht club. There was some talk of the
Royal st. Lawrence Yacht Club challeng-
| ing for race last winter, but 1t de-
cided toAwait another year in the hope
| that some other club, preferably one
| from the other side, might try to taze
| the cup abroad.
The British international cup for mo-
| tor boats is now held by the Motor Boat
| club of America and it will be defended
ext year, when British boats and pos
sibly some from France and Germany
will come here to try to beat the Amer
lean craft. This trophy is for boats
less than forty feet long and with any
power that they can carry. The races
are run without time allowance.

SHOCK ABSORBERS
SAVE THE TIRES
Motorists Would Profit by Taking
More Care Regarding the Guess
tion of Jar and
Jolt

When more motorists come to realize
that a great part of their tire mainta1-
ance expense is due to the lack of efficient
springs and shock absorbers they will
make haste to equip their machines
properly.
Not only are they anfinvestment that
will more than repay In saving of tires
but they will effect such an increase OF
comfort and eliminate SO many jolts and
Jars that their real value will be ines
timable.
Frequently motorist asks to have a
tire replaced, claiming that it has blown
out on account of defective fabric, when
the real fault is that the tire had to tallo
the entire jar of the heavy machine when
an obstruction was met with 1t fre-
quently happens that a stone bruise is
made in a good tire and a hole results
solely because the springs. of the machine
are so stiff that almost the entire shock
is taken up by the tire.
Tires Sink Down
The heavy weight of the automobile
forces the tire to sink down over the rock
or other object in the road and the fabric
is torn away as it is indented sharply.
Nine times out of ten the torn, irregular
cut through the fabric is due to stone
bruise that would have had no effect if
properly adjusted springs and shock alb
sorbers had been placed on the machine.

NEW YORK, Nov. Exchanges have re-
Gently been made in college rowing affiliations
that now the Naval academy, according to
all appearance. will have difficulty in finding
suitable opponents for the spring campaign.
Columbia. the most steady adversary OF the
sailors for the last few seasons. has decided
to attempt to take a match with Yale
rather than go to Annapolis. and in view Of
the uncertainty of Yale-Navy race on tho
Severn the chances for Yale columbia match
good. Under these circumstances the Navy
is turning to Harvard The Crimson has not
rowed ON the Severn for some years, although
among the early records of rowing at the
Naval academy may be found mention Of q
defeat by crew from Cambridge.
The Navy WIN have Pennsylvania and
Georgetown to meet anyhow. even if Harvard
declines to Harvard has Cornell and
Columbia to meet and Is unlikely to take on
another stiff race such one at Annapolis
would be. There is always the chance, with
things in their undecided state. that George
town will drop out of intercollegiate rowing,
although another idea brought out re-
Gently in the challenge for dual race sent by
Georgetown to Princeton.

OVER STARS
OSCAR JONES TRIES TO START
RALLY IN NINTH
frank Chance Again Disappoints the
Fans by Failing to Show Up
on First for the
Twinklers
Los Angeles 8, All stars 2

The Angels put it over on the Twink
lers again in their game at Chutes before
fair crowd yesterday afternoon, the
result hanging in the doubtful column
throughout the contest and Oscar Jones
went far on his way toward starting an
effective batting rally to save the game
in the last inning, but fate nipped him
in the buG.
Frank Chance again failed to show up.
The locals got two of their three runs
in the secon,. and the visitors made
their lone score in the same act.
Householder singled to left and went
to second on Raymer's out at first, taxi
ing third when Happy Hogan made a
bum throw to catch him off second, and
going across the plate on Easterly's single
to left
In the Angels half, Cravath walked
and stole second, scoring on Brashears
double to right. Kitty went to third on
Ellis out at first, and stole home clev-
erly while McCloskey had the ball In
his hand
The Stars got two hits in the fifth to no
purpose. Lawler hit safe 1nfield Shee-
han hit to center. Roy Brashear went
out to Bernard. Courtney went out to
Carlisle, who threw Lawler out at the
plate on long throw.
Cravath Makes Home Run
In the last half, Carlisle went out, r.
Brashear % Courtney. Jake Beckley
went out on McCloskey's good stop
Cravath smashed a home run to right
field, the ball bouncing and going clear
over the fence after striking the ground
half dozen times Kitty Brashear flew
to Lawler.
The Stars did their best to even up,
but couldn't land until the ninth inning.
F'rancks went out, Hosp to Beck
Eastery went out, Shay to Beck. Then
Oscar Jones drew up his red flannels
apd slugged safe over short. The crowd
stopped on it's way out, thinking that
the Stars would even the score. Lawler
followed Oscar with a safety over sec
ond, and Sheehan knocked a two-bagger
to right scoring Jones. Roy Brashear
spoiled the visitors look-in by flying to
Lawler, with two men on bases.

Activity of Wisconsin

While on the subject OF rowing It is well to
mention the activity Of the Wisconsin oars
men. Coach Ten Eyck has had the freshmen
actually in barges. They Will thus get a taste
OF actual rowing before they have settled
down to the machines What will be the
quality of the freshmen after such preliminary
work. compared with the slight training the
1910 class crew at Wisconsin had. it is hard
to say. That was an excellent freshman
eight. not merely because It won the race
bu. because 1t showed careful training and
coaching
Ten Eyck had that crew only in the spring
1t is hard to say what he will be able to do
with he has in hand right from their
entrance into college. Incidentally, If the
freshmen too good they are going to spoil
the chances for St. Johns academy crew for
trip east The Delafeld school boys are
having fall rowing too and they have made up
their minds that x they min their animal race
from the Wisconsin freshmen the crow Will
be sent to compete in the interscholastic race
in the American Henley. Ten Eyck's men
may be so good that they won't have anything
like chance to make the trip.

CROSSED DUCKS DO
WORK AS DECOYS
lNTERBRED BIRDS HANDY FOR
THE HUNTERS
VIII EntIcc the Wild Birds
with Their Calls and
Answers

The wles of the hunter to deceive the
innocent duck are becoming more ad-
vanced as the sport of duck hunting
against the wisdom of the feathered
tribe and each day must the webfeet
learn of new dangers that besege him.
Years ago hunters merely took to the
and wait for the ducks to pass Then
some initiative genius started to making
ducks of wood to entice the flying birds
to settle in range of the gun. Boats
were constructed to resemble, to almost
an exactness. a floating bunch of tule,
and in this way many of the tribe were
deceived into death, for the drifting imi-
tation with a hunter concealed within
could play havoc in a flock of feeding
ducks. The hunted ones, however, be-
came wise to this deception and now are
not beguiled as before, and the hunter
must devise other means of deception.
Cross the Tame with the Wild
The latest Of these means is the inter-
breeding or crossing of tame and wild
ducks. Tame ducks were and are yet
used as decoys, but their call is not al
ways sufficient to lure the wild duck to
the water from his lofty fight. AS tam
ing a wild duck for a decoy was out of
the question the next practical thing was
done, and that is to cross a wild and
tame fowl. A hunter once found a
wounded wild mallard drake and taking
ii home bred it with some tame mall
lards. He found that as decoy the
crossed bird is hard to beat. His sue
cess led to other hunters taking it up,
and now many sportsmen use live decoys
of crossed birds and say they give good
results.
A drake and two hens are generally
taken out for the hunt and are placed
apart from each other on different sides
of a patch of tule. When the drake
looks up and sees a bunch of wild ducks
flying over, he, in his lonesomeness, calls
out to them. The decoy hens, hearing
the drake call, then give their answer
and as a result of the long distarce con-
versation the wild ducks circle around
and then join those on the water. The
hunter does the rest.

Following is the lineup
Ereshies Beat sophs

In one of the, fastest games of bas-
ketball ever seen in the local gym the
Freshmen last night defeated the Soph-
omore boys to the tune of 16 to IL. The
contest throughout was one of extreme
doubt, the final score not being made
until late in the game. The Freshmen
showed themselves very strong in Of
fensive team work. Neuls and Richards
being the stars of their aggregation.
Hayes, Soph forward, played fast and
consistent game, making ten of the
Sophs twelve points by his goals. The
Sophs at first held the lead. the score
at one point being to in their favor
Toward the end of the first half the
Freshmen gathered for harder play and
before the half whistle sounded the
score was all.
The Iine-up was:
Los Angeles herald., 1907-11-25

FRESHMEN. SOPHS.
Richards. .......f....,........... Hayes
Neuls. Williamson
Gore. blrusali
Lorbeer. .,....S................. Jones
Parker. Wingaru
The boys games place the Freshies
we'll in the lead in basketball. Yester-
day the Freshman girls played the Sem
iors losing in a 2S to 13 score. This is
the largest score made on the '0S team
this year, and the first year students
are hoping that7the girls may best the
upper class men, when the basketball
supremacy of the class will have been
established beyond question.
1t is possible that a Freshman game
of basketball between Pomona and Oc-
cidental may be arranged At Occi-
dental, it Is stated, there is q strong
spirit in favor of the contest, and the
Freshmen here are anxious to arrange
the game. If it were arranged the To-
cal team would expect to play 1t on the
Occidental courts, as the Occidental
football team was brought here.
Tennis will be the principal form of
athletics in the college world from now
on No intercollegiate basketball
games have been arranged, and it is
far too early to plan definitely for
either track or baseball. Monday the
annual invitation tournament will be
played here. There will be nine local
entries, and a score or so at least from
outside schools. The tournament will
occupy both the morning and the after
noon on the local courts.
