PRINCIPAL HOUSH CALLS
METHODIST GAME OFF

The practice game between the foot
ball second elevens of U. S. G. and L. "A.
high school failed to materialize yester-
day afternoon owing to the refusal of
Principal Housh of the high school to
allow the youngsters to contest. No
reason was given for the cancellation.
Manager Hunt of the university is now
looking for other games to give practice
for his scrubs. The second eleven is
anxious to meet Thorp and prove to the
Pasadena lads the mistake they made
III the recent game between the two
elevens, when Thorp whitewashed the
Methodists by a lop sided score. Holly
wood is also sought for regarding game,
and Santa Monica will be asked for a
contest.
The scrubs have received excellent prac-
tice bucking against the varsity, and
feel confident of showing class with local
prep school teams

PLERP'S CANNES
ARE BOLSTERIOUS
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-According to a re-
port here, J. Pierpont Morgan has de-
cided to give up his Cragston kennels ut
Highland Falls. N. Y, and to part with
bis collection of high bred Collies. This
is said to be due to Mrs. Morgans wish.
Mr.. Morgan, the report has it, having
given his wife the beautiful Highland
Falls estate, she decided to spend most of
the year there. but found the barking of
the dogs and the fiocking to the kennels
of unwelcome sightseers too annoying
1t is further said that the financier
would not sell bis pets, but turned them
all over to Alfred Blewitt, manager of
The kennels for five years. Mr.. Morgan
has collected Collies for eighteen years
and has spent hundreds of thousands of
dollars on the Cragston kennels. The
dogs will not be moved from their quar-
ters. however. until next spring.
There are now at, the kennels some
eighty Collies, among them some notable
champions notably Whishaw Clinkers,
which is said to have cost Mr.. Morgan
$4,000. This Collie has never been beaten
at a bench show in this country and is
the holder of 300 European prizes.
Other champions there are Parbold
Purity and Cragston Blue Prince, the
latter said to be the finest blue merle in
America.

CATHOLIC ELEVEN
ARMY OF CRLPPLES
SAINTS MAY BE HANDICAPPED
AGAINST SHERMAN
Leffert Sent to Hospital and others
Are Out for the Season-Hem-
pei Sees Disaster in
Front

Hempel has sent up wall because of
his army of cripples, and st. Vincent's is
in danger of facing the Sherman Indians
next Saturday at Fiesta park with a
broken eleven.
The best men on the regular team are
on the bum, and the first squad now num-
bers but fifteen active men.
Leffert, right tackle, who is the strong
est college asset next to John Gait, has
been ordered by his physician to remain
ir hospital two weeks longer unless he
wants to go through life with stiff
knee. Leffert played through the Utah
game with water on the knee, and sacri-
feed his chances for the remainder OF
the season thereby.
Rheinschi.d, right guard, has been un-
able to practice since the Utah game be-
cause of badly wrenched neck and shoul-
ders, and 1t is not likely that he will be
able to play for several weeks.
Brinkop, left guard, tore the ligaments
Of his left leg loose in the Utah game
and has been useless ever since.
Holleran, center. Is out of the game
for this year because of his broken shoul-
der. and Keim, right half, is compelled
to hobble around on crutches to save a
eprained ankle.

HOLMES TRIES TO
WORK THE CROSS
REFUTES CONTRACT MADE WITH
SHERMAN MANAGER
U. S. c. Coach in Bad with Fair
Minded Sports and Acts Like
Anything but True
Sportsman

The statement published in an evening
paper last Saturday to the effect that
Coach Kightlinger of the Sherman In
dians said that "the st. Vincent's coach
and football management attempted to
buy off the Sherman-U. S. G. game, but
that he refused to cancel the game for
any money" was a mistake.
Kightlinger Is out with signed state
ment in which he explicitly denies ever
having said any of the things which he
was quoted as saying.
1t is loudly whispered that the report
emanated from Coach Holmes of the Uni
versity of Southern California.
According to the wisenheimers the reas-
on why the Sherman and U. S. c. game
has been called off was as follows: In
the first place Coach Holmes himself
signed a written contract with the Sher-
man Indians in which he agreed to play
them game. Holmes guaranteed Sher-
man $500.
Now Holmes turns around and cancels
the game himself. Holmes wrote to. Riv-
erside and said that Sherman could take
the game or leave It, just as the Indians
liked, but that they couldn't have the
$500, and all they could get would be half
of the gate receipts.
So it appears that st. Vincent's didn't
have anything to do with calling off that
Sherman-U. S. c. game, after all. 1t was
Holmes and no one else who called that
game off.
If Holmes desires to attempt to clear
himself of these charges the contract that
he made with Sherman, his own letter in
which he Cancelled the U. s. c. game
and Kightlinger's open letter in which he
brands the charge that st. Vincent s
bought off" the game as a dirty, con-
temptible lie, will be forthcoming.

READYFOR
TONICHT'S GO
JACKSON AND LANGFORD WILL
BE ATTRACTION
Dusky Pugs Should Put Up Rattllne
Battle, with Dope Favorlng
Peter-TWo PrellmI-
narIes on Card

Young Peter Jackson and Sam Lang
ford will meet tonight in what may
terminate twenty-round battles in Los
Angeles. The men are in the best of
shape, according to the dope slipped over
from the training camps, and rattling
good fight should be the result
The dopesters-the few of them who are
noticing the fight at all-pick Jackson to
beat Langford. In the five battles the
men have had Young Peter won but once,
but that time 1t was a Knockout that did
the work and the sports are figuring that
lightning will strike twice in the same
place.
Three of the fights which the men have
way at the end of fifteen rounds on a
decision. The other meeting ended in a
draw, fifteen spasms being the house limit
imposed
While the men are conceded to be about
as likely pair of dusky scrappers as are
now In the business, lack of interest
among those who are strongest for the
game in the ring is apparent. Some way
or other the fact that the men have met
so often before does not help the box
office along a bit and the result is that
practically no betting by the white gam
boilers has been done.
So far as the dope goes the men are
about evenly matched. Peters one VIC
tory over Langford was a clean one, while
Langford was forced to trust to the ref
cree to gain his verdicts over Young
Peter. The weight Is also an open ques-
ton, each man being able to tip the
beam we'll under the 160-pound mark.
Young Terry McGovern and newcom-
er named Dunn will provide the second
preliminary and their little fest alone
ought to be worth the money. A bet OF
hundred bucks has been placed on each
man and the little fellows are bound to
furnish some action when they get to-
gether in their ten-round fest.
A live wire will be uncoiled when Jimmy
Royle goes after Joe Rogers. Jimmy ls
the real thing when it comes to a slam
bang affair, and unless Rogers Is a real
one he is in danger of getting the short
end. The first preliminary will start about
S:15 and the bouts will be run off as rap
idly as possible.

KICK ON VACCINATION
By Associated Press.


CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-Commissioner Of
Health Evans today issued an order that
all members of the football team of Chi
cago university be vaccinated. The mem-
bers of the team declare they will not he
vaccinated, and Commissioner Evans has
asserted that if they refuse to obey his
orders he will cause the arrest of some
tody., The Chicago men have a game
scheduled with Carlisle November %. and
they fear the effects of the vaccination on
the teams condition.
Two students of the university were to-
cay taken to the Isolation hospital suffer-
ing with smallpox, one of them being a
member of the freshmen football team.
The latter said that Hugo Bezdak, as
sistant coach of the team, refused to al
low him to be vaccinated even after he
had been In contact with student who
had the disease.
Commissioner Evans declared later that
this afternoon he will send physicians to
the university to vaccinate the members
of the football team and that If OBJ
jections are made he will stop all foot
ball games for the season. He will not
allow men who have been exposed to

side If it is a peaceable settlement OF
this old question you want I'll come to
YOU and perhaps we can adjust the whole
difficulty"
McCarey and Councilman Wallace shook
hands then, apparently 1t being their hrst
meeting.
Dean Wilkins Debut
Dean Wilkins of St. Paurs pro-cathe-
dral then took the floor saying that Tor
the first time he felt called upon to speak
on the council floor for public measure.
He said the legislation of today was and
should be based largely on Christian
ideals. He urged that the phrase OF the
prayer Lead us not into temptation, ="
could well apply to this fighting business.
The reverend speaker dwelt on the
glamor that surrounded the ring, the Vlr-
ility and strength that in young men
fancy were conjured up in behalf of the
fighters.
Then he digressed to condemn. football,
saying that he wished that too could be
knocked out.
But there is little analogous between
these two sports" he continued. 1.-THE
football games are witnessed and con-
Quoted by men of high moral character,
by faculties of schools and the goal is
not the amount of punishment that can
be inflicted and endured.
''Prize fighting is essentially immoral
1t is not even immoral he concluded.
Mrs. Blanchard Talks
Mrs Blanchard of the w. G. I. U.
spoke next. She said the boxing exhibi-
tions in Los Angeles interfered with the
good training of young men. People from
all over the country coming here to live
found a great obstackle to their coming
Aere to stay in that prize fighting was
countenanced and licenses.
Senator Del Vale made an eloquent ap-
peal for the other side, saying that the
state law had been drafted by represen-
tatives of all of the people of the whole
state. Mr.. Newby proposed a measure
which reduced the rounds and minim1zed
different features of the present law. If
fighting were immoral why did not the
church federation insist on complete pro-
hibition of sparring exhibitions?
1.-THE truth is there is a conflict of opin-
ion among the best people who honestly
disagree on where regulation shall stop"
said he. 1.-THE final tribunal should be
the people and the decision will ultimate
ly go to the people"
Councilman Wallace reviewed the pre-
vious arguments and explained that the
church delegation suggested an amended
law merely because they recognized, that
the legislature had in a way tolerated
certain kinds of fistic displays.
The vote was then taken which routed
the sports.

UNANIMOUS VOTE CARRIES
ORDINANCE IN COUNCIL

The city council put crimp in the fight
game in Los Angeles by passing the COM
promise measure limiting the rounds to
ten and providing that there must be no
decision by the referee in contests with
fists
The old rules governing six-ounce gloves
and the betting laws are counted on by
those opposing sparring exhibitions to
keep out the other undesirable elements.
The vote was unanimous and was re-
garded as a foregone conclusion after
caucusing had been done by the non-par-
tisan members, aided by Councilman
Blanchard, whose ward, the Ninth, has
come out against the 1istic business.
In the lobby of the council chamber were
a score of prominent clergymen, while
many women of the w. G. T. U. were
seated in the v4-itors' gallery
Friends of the Maud junction affairs
were also on hand, but far in the minor
ity.
Withdraw Federation Bill
The church federation people had an
ordinance ready for presentation which
was more drastic than the city's pro-
posed ordinance, containing strict anti
betting clause and providing that no prize,
trophy or consideration of any kind should
be offered in any contest.
This was finally voted down.
Councilman Wallace tried to have the
glove limit put at eight instead Of six
ounces, but this also was defeated.
Then, after two hours debate, the COM
promise ordinance was put on its passage
and carried, after many parliamentary
moves had been made to induce some
amendments.
After the vote was announced Council
man Wallace warned Manager McCarey
that the doom of prize fighting had been
sounded and the fight impresario con-
fided to Councilman Hea1y of the Eighth
ward, later, that he believed there was no
more profit in the game, though he hoped
to try 1t as long as possible.

CANCER CONTAGIOUS DISEASE.
Evidence That Germs Remain in Walls
for Many Years.

Paris, Oct. Are certain houses in
fected with cancer2 Are rooms inhab-
tied by cancer patients liable to convey
the disease years after the patient is
dead? According to the researches OF
some doctors, the results of which have
just been published, these questions
must be answered in the affirmative.
The strange coincidence had often been
observed and pointed out by practition-
ers, even 80 far back as 20 and 80 years
ago. A patient would die of cancer in
a certain house. A year afterwards, or
even longer, other persons come to live
in the same house, and suddenly some
member Of the family is afflicted with
the terrible disease. For years and
years the same phenomenon recurs.
One family removes after one or more
Of it's members has succumbed to the
illness, others succeed them, and be-
come in turn victims Of the same fatal
affection. The observations have been
so frequent that the sanitary authori-
ties in Paris have decided to study the
matter thoroughly. A census has been
taken of all the houses where cancer
patients died during the last six months
of the year 1906. and a careful watch
will be kept over these houses. The
list comprises 1852 cases, and out OF
these it has already been observed that
in - houses two successive cases &C.
CURED. not counting five old age asy-
lums, where 26 deaths occurred from
the same disease.
