ROMANTIC GIRL.
Pleads for Pardon of Convict in
South Dakota Peniten-
tiary.

Pierre, May 26 Miss Mamie Hall,
of Atkinson, Neb., left this city for
her Nebraska home this morning disap-
pointed in the hope that she would
soon be able to wed the man of her
choice, Roscoe Moore. Her hope was
shattered by the refusal of the state
pardon board to do anything toward
shortening the sentence which Moore
is serving in the state pentitentiary on
a larceny charge.
1t appears that Moore is Texan,
who drifted into the north country,
landing at Atkinson, where he stayed
for time and won the affections of
Miss Hall. resulting in their engage
ment. But before the marriage bells
could ring Moore went to Butte county,
where he was accused of larceny of the

Harry Lewis viii Be Taken on If
Wright Is Right, but Wise
Ones Say He Can't
Make Il

Tom McCarey is keeping the wires hot
trying to get Young Donohue lined up FOR
fight with George Memsic, and yester-
day he telegraphed the Boston fighter to
come on at once If he wished to mix with
Memsic. The 18th of next month has
been selected as possible date, and it IS
probable that the men will get together
then If Donohue is willing.
In case the Bostonian does not want any
of Georgiee game Harry Lewis has been
spoken of as candidate to go ZIP against
Memsic. jolly Zeb, who represents Lewis
here, stated yesterday tnat his man would
meet Memsc either at 1873 at 8 o'clock on
the day of the fight or tip the scales ut
1876 ringside.
According to reports, it would take at
least one leg and both arms for Lewis to
get down to the weight he mentions at
o'clock but Zeb says he has a bank roll
to bet that Harry can get down to the
figure mentioned.
Lewis has a good record, and If he can
show McCarey how he stands in regard to
poundage Mac will not hesitate to make
the match. George Memsic is figuring on
plenty of work this winter, and would
willingly take Lewis on If the weights
were right.

MYSTERY OF BALL AND WHEEL
is PUZZLE TO BIG CROWDS

Students of physics have been greatly
Interested recently by the guessing
ball mystery" which has gathered great
crowds in front of the windows at 450
South Spring street.
The mystery is puzzle, consisting
of a revolving wheel, propelled by Il
large hidden motor beneath the plat
form box. A small motor, which is ex-
posed to view on top of the box is a
fake although 1t is connected with the
wheel and ostensibly runs it.
On top of the wheel rolls and bounces
a small red. hollow ball of celluloid.
The mystery lies in the fact that the
ball manages to bounce vigorously on
top of the flying wheel continuously,
and yet is not thrown off by the wheels
momentum.
Thousands of persons have guessed
at what keeps the ball on top of the
wheel, but they all have guess COM
ing, as no one but the inventor knows
the true solution to this peculiar
problem

Gun plays, threats of killing and violent

women who have taken the quarrel into
the courts.
Yesterday morning the three appeared
in Justice Pierces court on the first COM
plant, filed by Juanita McAuley, charg-
ing Mrs. Clara McKinon with exhibiting
a deadly weapon. The plaintiff declares
she has lived for months in fear of her
life and that Mrs McKinon has repeated

Mrs. McKinon> to be crazy and is afraid
she may attack her. Sarah Seamans was
in court as a witness. During the exam

oped that uncomplimentary language
and profane epithets had been exchanged
on several occasions.
Mrs. McKinon was fined $25. She has

BILLIARDS ON NEW
TABLE IN ENGLAND
BRITISH PLAYERS CLAIM IT
HELPS GAME
Invention Now Being Tried by Experts
Across the Pond, Who Predict
Renewed Interest in
Carom Game

There is a probability of great rev.
olution in the game of English billiards
by the innovation of an oval table, owing
in a great measure to the fact that the
English professionals have been studying
the game of the American and French
experts and have attained degree OF
skill in nursing the balls for series OF
delicate caromS which is boring to spec
tators and thus tends to decrease popular
interest in the game. A further reason
for the change is the development of the
anchor stroke, which has enabled players
to make such ridiculously large scores
that all interest in professional contests
is practically eliminated.
The English game is played on a large
table with six pockets, and for many
years all matches have been spot barred,
but recent developments have proved that
this restriction Is not sufficient, and IL
is now necessary to follow either the
American lead by creating prohibltive
territories or else to alter the whole
theory and practice of the game by
changing the form of the table.
This second alternative is now being
tried in London by John Roberts, the
veteran champion, and Weiss. the Aus
tralan champion, who have recently been
playing experimentally on an oval, or,
to be more exact, an arc-oval table.
This table is bounded by four arcs OF
a circle, two large and two small, form
ing the long and the short Sides respec-
lively. The distance from the top pocket
on one side to the center pocket on the
other is thus invariably the same and
the angles of rebound can be calculated
with a knowledge of the position of the
centers of the smaller circles, as they
depend on the angle between the direc-
tion given to the ball and the tangent
at the point where it strikes the cushion.
The geometry of the angles, although
more difficult than in the case of rec
tangular table, is easily conquered by a
player understanding the properties OF
circles, and is not so nearly complex as
would be the case with an elliptical table.
This oval table proves to eliminate, as
far as present experience can testify.
top-of-table play, nursery caroms and
the anchor stroke, so that it accomplishes
it's purpose. An onlooker at the match
between Roberts and Weiss says that a
break of 100 by the former contained far
more interest to the spectator than 500
on the ordinary table. The inventor
claims that the arc-oval table is to the
old table as bridge is to whist, but only
further experiences can determine the
accuracy of this boast. 1t is more than
likely that on further experimenting 1t
will be found better 10 do away with
the pockets entirely and play the Amer
lean carom game on the new table.

WHIT TIER BOYS TO
MEET OCCIDENTAL
FIRST INTERCOLLEGIATE GAME
COMES TODAY
Only Three Institutions Left in Race
for Pennant, and Contest on
Quaker Field Means
Much

Occidental and Whittier will start the
intercollegiate football season with a game
on the Quaker field this afternoon. The
result of the contest will credit to the
winners chances for the intercollegiate
championship awarded in December.
At present the only schools who are
eligible for competition in the pennant
race are Occidental Whittier and Pomona.
A complete schedule has been arranged
between these institutions, and each col
lege is confident of success.
st. Vincent's and the University nf
Southern California are no longer in the
race for collegiate honors. ST. Vincent's
voluntarily withdrew from southern So
ciety a few weeks ago in order to branch
out into interstate circles, and at present
has no dates with California schools. The
U. S. C. is contenting itself with practice
games with the high schools until 1t can
come to agreements with college teams.
Coach Holmes made his team very, un-
popular during the preliminary contro-
versies, and consequently the Methodists
have received no offers from other camps.
There is some talk of temporary disband-
ment If the university does not fill is
datebook shortly.
Occidental will go into the game To-
day with her full force of players
back in the game and ready for battle.
Johnson, who was laid out for several
days with a badly sprained ankle, has
been worked back into shape and will
probably do some of the tackling today.
George Conrad has overcome parental
prejudice and has joyfully appeared to
take up the center station where he ex-
celled last year. A big freshman named
Porter enlisted last week barely in time
for football participation, and Coach
Goheen says his 200 pounds can be used
somewhere in the line. The rookie will
be worked in the freshman team until
some of the varnish can be rubbed off for
varsity scrimmage.
The players have all elevated their class
room standing and escaped BOBBY posi-
tions on the delinquent roll for non-at-
tendance to text books. This is one CT
the bugbears which confronts a college
team during the first six weeks, but
Coach Goheen has kept it always before
his charges that studiousness is next to
gridron industry, and as a result has his
whole squad free from embarrassing con-
ditions.

CASTAWAYS WILL
PLAY SAN BERDOO
RUGBY TEAMS TO MEET ON
BoVARD FIELD
Second Contest Promises Excitement,
as Visitors Have Strengthened
Line-up Since Defeat
Last Week

The Castaways will play San Bernar-
dino for the second time today Fiesta
park not being available, the game VIII
take place at Bovard Field. The whistle
will blow for the kickoff promptly at
o'cfock and there should be a very fast
and interesting game
Last Saturday the local team went to
San Bernardino and defeated the home
team by a score of to o. The Castaways
did not take their best team with them,
as many of the players could not get
away early enough to catch the train.
For this reason they hope to put better
team in the field today and give the val
ley lads a good drubbing
Unfortunately, three of their best play
ers will be absent as they have been
asked TO referee other games. Galley VIII
act in the Denver-St yincents game.
Mitchell will go to Redlands and decide
for Polytechnic and Redlands and Ross
Holmes has consented to referee the
game between Pomona and Long Beach.
Ward, Tompkins and Densham, who
did not play last time, will be in the line
up and the presence of these men Will
counteract the absence of the other three
to a great extent. On the other hand,
the Castaways had the services of two of
the best Polytechnic forwards last Sat
urday, Manning and Hinrichson. These
two will be playing with their school
team and will not be available for the
home game.
Taking everything into consideration,
the Castaways will have no easy time
of it. The San Bernardino lads put up
a fine game last week and have made up
their minds to reverse the victory.
II. B. Crouch will referee and should
give general satisfaction as he knows the
game well and is a clean sportsman.
