Jeff HURT POOR OLD
SOUIRES WITH HIS TALK

1t happened some weeks before Bill Squires
chose the Fourth Of July as a convenient date
for a two-minute, daytime nap in the first
round of fight In fact, 1t was Just after the
Australian had started training for the Burns
go"
The champion of the Antpodes had just
come in from his morning run and had been
rubbed down. when no less q visitor was an
nounced than Jim Jeffries. He had come to
look the stranger over, exchange ideas on
slumber-pats, and in other friendly fashion to
make the newcomer welcome to California. The
two chatted pleasantly for while, the talk
running on the strangers ideas of America,
his home country experiences, etc.
But at last 1t occurred to Jeff that Squires
was praising his cwn land somewhat unduly,
and laying too little stress on the gories of
the Golden West. He demonstrated:
'Australia's all right, l guess, but the little
u. S. is good enough for me-
"That's because you've never Aus

SILK LIKES HIS
POWER ON FIELD

Umpire SILK O'Loughlin is of the opinion
that the wisest piece of baseball legisla-
ton ever put through by the National
and American leagues is that giving the
umpire arbitrary rights on the field
Some years ago. says O'Loughlin.
1.-The umpire was only a figurehead-a
sort of football to be bounced around the
diamond by the players, to the disgust
of the sport loving followers of the game,
and to the detriment of the best qualities
OF the game.
"Rowdyism was rampant and it fire.
quently resulted in personal encounters.
The final 'rake-off was that teams were
weakened by having their best players,
who frequently were their best kickers,
put out of commission for three days, a
week or longer, for their actions on the
field And all because the rules were not
sufficiently stringent for the umpires to
hold the players.
GAN that is changed now. The umpire
is the boss when the teams are on the
field Everything he says goes, and it is
a matter of record that players go less
under these new conditions than they for
merIy did"

NEW COUNTRY CLUB TO
START BUILDING SOON
HOLLYWOOD MEMBERS MEET IN
GREAT NUMBERS
Plans for Organization Make It Unique
Among Out-of- Town Clubs.
Many Have Already
Joined

More than a score of enthusiastic
members of the newly formed Holly
wood Country club met last night in
Wilcox hall, Hollywood, to perfect plans
for the latest addition to the ranks or
out OF town organizations. The by
laws, drawn up in rough form, were
presented and declared right, and many
things of general interest both to pres
ent and prospective members were dis
cussed.
According to the present plans the
club will be all that the members eX-
pect-in many respects the most ideal
on the coast It's location. which is
screened from the entire surrounding
country by beautiful hills, Will make
it unique among out of town organiza-
lions, and the entrance itself VIII be
artistic in the extreme.
The grounds themselves will be s1tu-
ated in Clausen canyon, and in order to
reach it entrance will be made through
a long tunnel from Sepulveda canyon.
This tunnel will connect at the lower
end with the car line, thus combining
the advantages of close traffic connec-
lions with the desirability of eXclu-
siveness.
While country club is almost al
ways essentially for outdoor athletlcs,
such as golf and tennis, the Hollywood
the social side of things, and in the
plans for the clubhouse much space has
been devoted to reception rooms ana
dancing floors. 1t is planned to give
informal dances at frequent intervals
and teas by the women auxiliary MEM
bers will be regular features
The club membership will be for the
men alone, but the bylaws which were
approved last night allow for the mem
bers of a members family enjoying all
the privileges of the clubhouse ana
grounds. This also includes minors OF
either SEX and provision has been made
for visitors as WELL
At first the limit to membership Will
be placed at 200, but it is expected that
this limit will be removed when the
popularity of the club becomes such
that insistent demands will be made for
admission. The number of charter
members will be 1875, and most of these
have already placed their names on the
secretaryS roster.
1t is expected that work on the new
clubhouse, as we'll as grading and con-
structing the entrance tunnel from
Sepulveda canyon, where the car VIII
end, into Clausen canyon, in which the
club grounds will be located, will be
commenced at an early date. The
present members of the club are all
anxious to see their plans take actual
shape and with the funds on hand will
proceed with the first step, and clear off
the land for the spacious golf links
which are projected.
After the initial work is performed
the clubhouse, golf links and tennis
courts will be built and a formal house
warming given in honor of the oc-
casion.

NOT IN
DAVIS CUP FIGHT
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press
LONDON, July 13.-The first contest in
the preliminary rounds for the purpose
of determining who shall challenge the
holdersN for the possession of the Davis
cup, emblem of the tennis championship,
was decided at Wimbledon this afternoon.
Norman E. Brooks of Australia, winner
of the al-English championship a week
ago, defeated Beals c. Wright of Amer
lea in three straight games. The Ameri-
can failed to produce the form he eX-
hibited in 1905, when he defeated Brooks,
and the large crowd present was disap-
pointed in not witnessing the fight eX-
pected.
The second round of the singles between
Karl H. Behr, American, and a. G. Wild
ing, New Zealand, furnished by far the
better and more exciting tennis, five sets
having to be played, of which Wilding
took three to Behr's two. In the second
set the better play of the New Zealander
gradually told. Behr won the third by
brilliant play, but he was tired out by
the steadiness of Wildnig, who was thus
enabled to take the final sets and the
match.
The defeat of Wright and Behr makes
the prospect of America regaining the
cup very remote, for to do so they must
win the doubles July 10 and the singles
July 16.
