BERRY TRADES CARMES

FINDS VAN HALTREN READY TO
MAKE CHANGE

for New MAN.
ayers

Henry Berry has effected a trade with
Oakland whereby Red Randolph, who
has been trying to quit the Athenians for
some time, is made an Angel. Pitcher
Carnes was handed over for the rusty
headed one, and the change will probably
be beneficial to all parties
Randolph has made all kinds of efforts
lately to get out of wearing the Oakland
uniform and his release was recently
reported. Then it was said that he had
signed up with Alameda in the. State
league but this apparently was bum dope,
as Berry claims to have him on the local
pay roll
Carnes, who was traded for Randolph,
has been all to the sandpaper in his last
few efforts on the slab, and was of little
use to Berry. In early season games the
Fresno boy was much to the good on the
firing line, but of late the team had no
confidence in and fell down miserably
every time he was on duty. The result
was that Carnes lost most of the games
he pitched, and he had the whole bunch
sore at him.
The new addition to the Angel band
twirled few games here after the Frisco
fire last year, and his brief appearance in
local uniform was the signal for gener-
Gus approval on the part of the fans,
Randy has not been satisfied with his
berth under Van Hatren, and will
doubtless do better after a change
| In all probability Berry will not be
granted additional dates for the Chutes
grounds, as nothing has been heard from
the shiny headed one since he went away.
! If he had a chance to get what he
wanted Berry would surely have sent
along the glad news, but his silence can
be taken as a report that the league
magnates have decided to keep on with
the present schedule.

Touching Stories of Occurrences Taxi

Sank Beneath the
Waves
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 24.-Four wo-
men and six men, survivors of the steam
er Columbia, who were landed at Shelter
Cove Sunday morning from boat No. l.,
in charge of Quartermaster Paul Hin
ner, arrived here tonight, coming over
land by the Northern Pacific. The four
women were Miss Ruby Cooper of
Fayette, Mo-. Miss Blanche w. Musser,

Allen of Larkspur, Cal; e. G. Thompson,
North Yakima, Wash; w. S. Williams,
Oakland, and three members of the crew,
Quarterma ster Paul Hinner, Fireman
David Easton and Seaman Emile Mann.
The party was unanimous in it's praise
of the heroism of Quartermaster Hinner,
who was in charge of their boat. H. S..
Allen, a merchant of Larkspur, related
how Miss Blanche Musser of Salt Lake
sang "Suwanee River and my Old
Kentucky Home" as they chung to the
ropes on the life raft. Mrs. Winklebleck
Dunn was torn from the arms of her
husband as the Columbia sank and be-
lieved him lost, but found him safe at
Eureka upon her arrival there.
H. S. Allen told a pathetic story of
finding a little child on the deck of the
sinking steamer and jumping overheard
with it just as the vessel sank, only to
have it torn from his grasp. He never
saw it again.

PROPOSED MAJORITY OF THE
MEASURES
Other Powers Agree to the Most
Vital of Suggestions Offered by
Representatives of This
Government
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press
THE HAGUE, July A.-Thus far the
United States has contributed more than
any other country to the peace confer
ence
AS was expected, the American pro-
posal for the collection of contractual
debts will be adopted almost unanimously
on July q, only few countries making
reservations, while the proposition re-
garding the permanency of the arbitra-
ton court, the most important step of
the conference, will be accepted with
amendments, to which, however, the
American delegates will offer no objec-
lions.
Another American proposition, that re-
lating to general arbitration, is already
meeting some opposition, which is offered
as not against principle but because of
the difficulty of carrying out the plans as
proposed.
The British delegation, however. has
received instructions to support both the
permanent court and the general arbitra-
ton propositions.
Still another American proposition. that
relating to permanent periodical confer
ence will not be presented until the end
of the conference in order to avoid in
reference with the work already under
discussion.

CRACK SWIMMER is
DUE THIS MORNING
BROMLEY COMING TO COMPETE
IN CHAMPIONSHIPS
Local Enthusiasts Anxious to See
Webster Clubs Representative In
Action-Pat Higgins viii
Not Race

George Bromley the crack young
swimmer who is coming to represent the
webster Athletic club of San Franciso,
will aiight from the Owl this morning in
all kinds of choice company, but despite
the eagernees of the sports to catch a
glimpse of the manager of Joe Cans the
amateur athlete will not be entirely
overlooked.
Local swimmers are all anxious to see
Bromley in actionin the water, as he is
looked upon as the most formidable can
didate for high honors at the state swim
ming championships which will be held
at Naples next Sunday. The Webster
clubs representative is the present holder
of the coast interscholastic record, and Is
credited with being able to swim the
hundred yards in less than los.
Bromley will in all probability be the
only contestant who does not make
Southern California his home, and if he
manages to take the championship medal
back north with him it will be sad blow
10 the amateurs in this section who wish
the trophy left here. Kyle, Holborow
and several other cracks are all in fine
fettle. and If they do not beat the north
ern wonder it will be because the race
will be too fast for the present record.

holds the Southern California champion

to contest in the juvenile events. Around
San Diego they consider the champion
brother a conner, and he will have plenty
Of chance OF show his worth when COM
peting with the local youngsters.
Secretary Henry of the Southern Cali
fornia Swimming association is in daily
receipt of entries from the various beach
resorts in this section. and from the looks
of things at present the championships
will be successful all the way. The four
events to be contested In the medal class
will undoubtedly be keenly fought and
covered in record time, and everything
considered the first championships of the
kind ever held here will be well enough
received to call for a repetition.
1t is not probable that Pat Higgins
who entered several of the championship
events. will be in the line when the start
ing gun Is fired. Higgins has not been IN
training for over eight months, and feels
that he cannot do himself justice against
the clever swimmers who will compete.

Korean Cabinet Is Held Under Japan

vaders Are Officially
Enunciated

SEOUL, July 4.-It is understood tina
the proposals of Japan with which Wis
count Hayashi was charged were pre-
scented by Marquis Ito to the Korean
cabinet which met at 10 o'clock this

brief is believed to be evidence of the

CASSIDY WILL USE
WESTERN METHOD
OBTAINS PERMISSION TO TRY
OTHER STYLE
Struggling Starts on Metropolitan
Tracks Responsible for Many
Kicks and Change Is
In Prospect

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, July 24.-Following trial
by Starter Mars Cassidy of the "walk-up"
system of sending the fields away on the
eastern tracks, the Jockey club has de-
cided to make this the official method for
next year The decision followed Cas-
sidy's protest of two weeks ago and the
permission given him to follow his own
methods.
Dissatisfaction over the many struggling
starts at the eastern tracks especially at
Sheepshead Bay, had led to the stewards
of the latter course holding a meeting to
discuss the point. They finally sum-
moned Cassidy and notified him that there
must be a change for the better, and at
once or a change would be made in the
starter.
Starter Makes Protest
Cassidy Immediately retorted that his
hands were tied by the methods forced
upon him. He said that to start the
horses standing was simply to give an ad-
vantage to a quick breaker and to leave
the horses which were not "set' in posi-
ton hopelessly out Of the competition He
said that the gate was useless under the
circumstances and that the only proper
method was to walk the fields slowly up
to the barrier, swapping the gate when
all were aligned and well in motion.
The stewards told him to follow his plan
for a fortnight. The result has been
satisfactory. The start in the Brighton
was wellnigh perfect, and if the system
employed is now the same as that fol-
lowed on the Los Angeles, San Francisco
and st. Louis tracks for several years.
Recognition for System
Official recognition will be given to the
system next season at the Bennings meet
ing. 1t would be ordered for this year but
it is thought that some of the racing as
sociations may prefer to retain the stand
ing start system for the balance of the
year. owing to so many 2-year-olds being
trained to this style.
Peter Pans showing in the Brighton
handicap has clearly indicated that the
colt is possessed of gameness of the high
est order-a point on which some question
was raised in his 2-year-old form, after
he had seemed to falter under punish
ment in the Futurity, while Pope JOAN
his stable companion, ran steady under
the whip and under Electioneer's winning
challenge
Peter Pan added S19,950 to his owner s
bank account by winning the Brighton.
This brought his total winnings for the
year to $685. $40 to date. He is still engaged
in many valuable stakes, and many think
that had he been started in the Realiza-
ton stake of a few days ago he would
have added first money of more than $16.-
900 to his credit. Few credit Dinna Ken,
the winner with being anywhere near as
good a colt as the Keene 3-year-old.
