Fire Department Helpless on Account
Of Improper Water Pipe System
and Chemical Engine
Battles In Vain
Pasadena Agency
u North Raymond Avenue,
PhoneE: Sunset 1907. Home 2124.

PASADENA, June 1o.-Fire at an
early hour this evening destroyed all
the worldly possessions OF w. T.. Aust,
globe trotter living at 1881 Lincoln
avenue. The house, a California bum
galow, belonging to Mrs. r. G. Lemon
OF Los Angeles, was completely de-
stroyed, and Mr.. Aust's household
goods, including all his treasures of
travel, were burned. Mr.. Aust had
about $500 insurance on the goods in
the house.
A gasoline stove in the rear of the
house was left burning while Mr.. and
Mrs. Aust went across the street, and
when they returned the kitchen was a
roaring mass Of flames. The new fire
department has not been installed in
this district, although the house for
the apparatus is built. A call was sent
into town and the Villa street depart
ment sent out chemical engine. The
rest of the department did not report,
because there Is no water main within
half a mile Of the house.
When the chemical engine arrived
the house was so far gone that the two
tanks were exhausted with no effect.
For some time larger. mains have
been advocated by. people in this dis
trict, but the water company has not
seen fit to install them. According to
the sentiment of the people after the
fire tonight the company will have to
put in the pipes or severe measures will
be taken.

METHODIST MINISTERS
IN INTERESTING SESSION

when I went to get on to street
car he-, I thought of brickbats flying
in the air. until 1 looked around and
saw I was in Los Angeles" said Rev.
Freeman Bovard of San Francisco at
the Methodist ministers meeting yes
terday.
Rev. Bovard is the editor of the Chris
tian Advocate and has seen hard times
from the result Of the great earthquake
and fire in San Francisco. and yet his
courage is firm. He says that he Is
among many others who have great
faith in the ultimate success Of the
northern city.
In the course of his remarks Rev.
Bovard expressed himself in the favor
of the Owens river water plan.
Rev. Ireland, the converted actor,
sent in a resolution to abolish theaters
on Sundays which was presented by
DR.. Mcintyre and which was favora-
bly, acted upon by the ministers.
Rev. J. B. Green, presiding elder OF
the Fresno district, read paper on
ministerial Support" which was one
of the most interesting and instructive
papers ever read before that body. 1t

CINCINNATI, O., June 1O.-Leading
from start to finish under raps most of
the journey, The Abbot, a big brown
colt by The Friar Goody Good, owned by
w. j. Young of Lexington, KY, cap
tured the Latonia Derby this afternoon
in easy fashion.
Ridden by Jockey J. Lee in faultless
manner and, judging from the pace
throughout, the little colored boy did
not have any trouble in letting his
mount show the way. There was really
no contest to it, for after Lee assumed
the lead he held his mount away off in
front and won by five lengths.
Red Gauntlet finished second, five
lengths in front of Beau Brummel,
third.
When the horses went to the post for
the Derby the track was sea of mud.
Results:
First race, six furlongs-Plant Land
won, River second, Stoner Hill third

Second race, four furlongs-Rebel
Queen won, Brown Mary second, Many

CROKER GIVES
RE|FF $4,000
AMERICAN JOCKEYS VICTORY
NETS FORTUNE
Former Tammany Boss Unable to
Conceal His Delight When orby
Wins Great English
Derby

Many tales are told of liberal horse
owners who in the flush of victory
have presented their jockeys with sub
Stantial purses.
When Richard Croker won the Eng
lish derby last week the former Tam
many boss was fairly overcome by his
good fortune and rusLed from the
stand to the paddock, where he COM
plimented Jockey Reiff before receiv-
ing the congratulations of his friends.
Croker is a man who Is not easily
excited, and though more than usually
affected in the present instance did
not forget little Jonny Reiff, the
American jockey who rode Orby to
victory. On the morning after the
race he presented him with a check
for 5000.
He could we'll afford this, for outside
the stake, $32,50O, Mr.. Croker undoubt-
edly won personally fully $25O,OOO, and
the friends who shared his confidence
in Orby must have taken many times
that amount from the bookmakers.
The lowest price laid against the colt
was 10 to 1.
Mr.. Croker smiled grimly when he
saw the great colt win, and when he
descended from the grandstand to lead
the victorious Orby into the paddock
the gigantic crowd cheered. AS soon
DIS MI. ATOheI lelL lle pduuOCh lie
hurried off to send this telegram to
his housekeeper at Glencairn:
"Orby won. Hoist the Irish and
American flags over the house imme-
diately"
Mr.. Croker for once in his life has
not attempted to conceal his joy over
the victory. His once famous taci-
turnity has departed and he could not
have looked happier If he had won all
the gold in the bank of England. Mr..
Croker said:
"It is an American and irish victory,
too. Naturally, 1 am enthusiastic over
the winning of the derby, but don't
forget. either, that the lad who rode
Orby to victory is an American and
Orby is Irish bred and Irish trained.
1 am glad on my own account Orby
won, because it has always been a
matter of pride for me to succeed in
anything 1 unde- lake. But I am glad
also for Orby's sake, for Orby is as
sensitive as a human being. 1 believe
if he had not won he would have felt
miserable himself"
"What will you do now that you
have won the greatest prize on the
English turf? VIII you enlarge your
stables and go into the game on a
larger scale?"
Croker answered: "Well, I am not
a prophet and don't tempt fate. Be
sides, maybe / have a little Irish su-
perstition, anyway Now, l can't say
what I will do in the future. Certain
ly will not -et Orby end his career
with winning the derby"

SAN FRANCISCO, June 10.-The
Britt-Nelson fight continues to be a
very much 'up-in-the-air" proposition.
Not only has Jimmy Britt failed to
make his $2500 deposit that was pre-
sumably forthcoming the early part of
the week. but the name of the promoter
Is blank. and at least one of the
agents in the negotiations admit that
he does not know who the man will be
to handle the fight
When Nolan and Willis Britt made
the statement on the night they signed
articles, that they would be able to an
nounce the promoter by Saturday night,
it was with an understanding, so it ap-
pears, that the police committee would
act oil that day.
But the police committee could not
get together and left the affair open
for the Doard of supervisors, which may
or may not reach conclusion tomor-
row at the regular meeting.
1t appears that several parties are
looking for permit and there is more
than possibility that a dispute as to
being issued at the present time. A
special to the Chronicle from Chicago
states that Nelson left last night for
San Francisco to go into training.
One is at loss to figure out Britt's
stand in the matter. If he is as anxious
for the match as he has stated he would
doubtless rush forward to put up his
money. To the contrary, he is taking
his time. Willis Britt said last night
that Jimmy was in San Francisco Sat-
urday and that he supposed the forfeit
was up. Inquiry from the stakeholder
brought the information that nothing
had been seen of Britt's money

Sporting Comment

Jockey Miller bids fair to meet a
rival in Eddie Dugan, the little can
fornia lad who is under contract 10 U
H. Durnell for two years. The BOY mas
been on New York tracks about 1ou1
weeks but is already creating very
favorable impression because or ms
getaway proclivities and determine
ton.
Umpire Jack Sheridan of the Ameri-
can league got in badly with New
York crowd the other day under cir
cumstances which have very rarely
arisen. The Yankees were playing
Cleveland and Captain Lajoie became
suspicious concerning the Whereabouts
of a ball that had disappeared in the
fifth inning, complaining to Sheridan.
The latter ran into left field and
searched Conroy. When Conroy gave
him the laugh Jack walked over to
Danny Hoffman in center. Nothing do
ing and as Sheridan ambled back to the
diamond 5000 spectators accorded MIN
an unmerciful burst of sarcasm.
Before Hen Berry's Angels invaded
the north nothing was said or the san
Francisco right field fence. Seraph
swatters, however, began lining out
home runs with such regularity that
Cal Ewing has finally ordered a wire
screen be swung across the limits.
Abe Attell and frankie Neil appear
unable to talk business. Probably no
two persons in the country nurse such
cordial hate for each other as do Jim
Neil and Abe Attell. There has been
bad blood existing between them for
years and when Abe beat frankie at
Maud Junction last July the bitterness
waxed StrOnged.
Emil Herr, the we'll known horseman,
turned a clever coup at New York last
week when he purchased Montgomery
from Fred Forsythe for s25,000. Herr
bought the horse a few minutes before
one event which netted his new owner
just $4,000 Herr carefully laid the
coin and won $4,000 more before the
days sport was over.
Catcher Eastwood, formerly of the
Pacific Coast league, and more re-
Gently of Des Moines. has been secured

One Of the Diamonds Most
Powerful Mag
nets

Is Rube Waddell a great pitcher? ASK
any of the older ball players who have
been against him year in and year out
To man they'll tell you he isn't.
They'll tell you Plank is great; Joss is
great; Mullin is great; Doc White is
great. All of the leading pitchers will
be classed as great, but when it comes
to the Rube they'll pass him up as
a dub.
The ball player is a man who seldom
knocks. He usually has praise for
every one In the profession. And when
they say the Rube isn't great they
honestly mean it.
But" you argue, "he wins. He's
usually effective"
"Oh, yes" they'll respond, hes ef-
fective. He wins his games, but he isn't
a clever pitcher"
II honestly don't believe Rube Wad-
dell knows one batter from the other"
said one of the Tiger clan who has for
years watched the erratic one, and who
for obvious reasons did not want his
name used
