SPORTSMEN MAY
GATHER IN FORCE
LOCAL PROTECTIVE SOCIETY TO
HOLD MEETING
Plans Advanced for Monster Tourna-
ment of Gun and Rod Artists at
General Meeting in
November

President John Schumacher and Secre-
tary Louis Herzog of the Los Angeles
County Game and Fish Protective asso-
citation have issued an important call to
the directors of that organization and
to the various gun clubs affiliated with it
to attend a meeting in the Chamber of
Commerce next Thursday at 80 o'clock.
The assemblage is for the purpose of
planning ar elaborate program of sports
with fish and game and also 20 arrange
for the meeting of the California pro-
tective associations, which meet in Los
Angeles in November.
The gun clubs are asked to send dele
gates to the meeting in order to fully
cooperate with the protective associa-
tions repres entatives in perfecting plans
for the big event. In addition to the
state societies meeting 1t is proposed to
have tournaments in the various branches
of field and stream sports in which the
members are interested and an elaborate
program IS contemplated.
1t has been suggested that the local as
cociation hold a monster series of tour
naments at the same time the meeting
of the California societies Is In session.
Fly casting bait casting and rifle and
b.ue rock tournaments will nold impor-
tant places on the program, and grand
conclave of sportsmen from all over the
state will be held.
At the meeting of the protective So
ceties of California, which will be he'd
here on November s, 9 and TO- important
legislation tending to more fully protect
the game and fish of California will be
outlined, and the members in attendance
will be asked to get after their repre-
sentatives at Sacramento to see that
the laws are enacted. Various steps
tending toward more stringent game
laws than those in force at present will
be taken and everything of protect
i've nature will be discussed and voted on.
Should the plans of the local orgariza-
ton in regard to the monster tourna-
ment be carried at Thursdays meeting
the gathering of sportsmen in Los An
geles at the time of the California as
socations' meeting will be the largest
thing of the kind ever held in the west.
Noted nimrods and trap shooters as well
as experts with rod and reel, will cor
vene here in force, and the events con-
templated will doubtless go down in the
annals of the sporting world as the great
est ever held in this section of the cour-
try.

and hawser was passed aboard Mon
soon. While waiting for the tide to rise
sufficient to warrant pulling on her, Mon
soon received the heaviest pound of the
twenty hours she was on the beach.
Several times the big rollers threw her
over and back again, but 1t did not ap-
pear to damage her much.
Several attempts were necessary be-
fore 1t could be seen that Monsoon was
moved any. Captain Hughes of the 4.e-
dondo was afraid to pull too hard on
the dainty little craft, and handled the
operation as gently as a mother would a
baby.
Several times he set q strain on the
big hawser and Stacked 1t again, allow
ing the weight o. the big rope to grad
ualiy ease the yacht into deeper water.
rinally, at 4:45, he ordered full speed,
and amid the cheers of fully two hundred
yachtsmen Monsoon oLce more returned
to her proper element.
Captain Pugh was the recipient of many
congratulations from his fellow mem
bers, for the Monsoon is well liked in
the club and is saved to compete in many
another race.
Towards evening a nasty swell began
to roll in to the harbor here ard several
of the yachtsmen, rather than risk an
experience like that of Monsoon, sailed
for home. Among those who regard pru-
dence as the better part of valor are
Captain Bradley of Venus, Folsom of
Mischief and Hay of Arrow.
This will by no means curtail the pro-
gram here today, for there are nearly
dozen others here to take part in the
races.

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
PHILADELPHIA, July 20. - German
rowing clubs will send several entries to
the national regatta to be held on the
Schuylkil river Philadelphia, August 0
and 10. Waldeman land of the Hellas
Rowing club, Berlin, announced that four
crews would represent German rowing
clubs, the members of which will sail
from Bremen or Hamburg about July 25.
The entries are: Adolph Muller Viking
Boat club senior and championship sculls;
Carl Ernst and A. Won GAIA, Viking Boat
club, senior double sculls; and r. Moeller,
G. Goldhammer, G. Hoffman and r.
Boerger, Hellas Rowing club, senior and
international fours. In addition to these
Weldemar Sand will represent the Hellas
Rowing club in the senior single SOULS
at Philadelphia. These oarsmen are
among the best in Germany and were
successful in the recent German national
regatta.
The Hellas four hold the championship
of Germany, having won the Kaiser s
cup for four-oared shells in 1906 and
1907 and also the cup presented by the
German Rowing association. Carl Ernst
and A. Won GAIA won the senior double
sculls championship at the Hamburg re-
gatta on Lake Alster
Waldemar Sand, who is at present in
New York will at once begin training at
the gymnasium of the New York Athletic
club and next week will start rowing at
Travers island in preparation for the
National Association of Amateur Oars
mems annual meet.
While the entries have not been actual
ly received by Secretary Fred Fortmeyer
of the National association, there is no
doubt about the crews coming over, as
Herr Sand was authorized to make the
official announcement.

COLUMBlNC SAVED FOR
MANY ANOTHER RACE

When the racing fleet of the South
Coast Yacht club arrived at Venice yes
terday morning, and found the shapely
Monsoon wallowirg on the beach at the
mercy of the breakers, the members at
once discussed ways and means to float
her.
Nothing could be done until o'clock
in the afternoon, at high water and
Captain Pugh had already chartered the
tug Redondo to pull Monsoon off at that
hour.
She lay on her beams end, pounding 6
but slightly in the heavy surf, and was
practically undamaged except for the
tiller clamp becoming broken in the
night Pugh stated that she was not
making any water and he was sure she
would be none the worse for her strand
ing.
All day crowds of people stood about,
speculating as to whether the handsome
thirty footer would be saved, or if she
would be totally wrecked. Mary sugges-
tions were made as to the best means to
save the craft, but the only thing done
was to reave q bride around her keel in
readiness for the big tugs coming at
high water
Captain Pugh said frankly that he
was satisfied that the wreck was not
caused by the negligence of any mem
ber or MS crew. MoHsooH ndu peen
moored with six parts of heavy cable, all
of which had been chafed through in the
heavy sea. Besides the moorirg the
Yachts anchor was dropped and thirty
fathoms of cable paid out, but when the
mooring parted the anchor was too light
to hold her against the mountainous
rollers.
Satisfied that Joe was sailor enough to
effect the salvage of his boat, the rest
of the members of the club went on with
the preparations for the cup race, and
the only difference the strandirg of Mon
soon made was that there weie only two
entries instead of three.
Monsoon is the only other boat besides
Mischief and Columblne eligible for this
race, so there was no way out of 1t but
to race without her.
Long before high water the tug Re-
dondo anchored off the break water,

Gypsy WOMAN A THIEF
So Alleges II. c. Dean, Who Declares
Woman snatched Money From Purse
and Ran - Sheriff in Hot Pur-

II. c. Dean, a tailor who conducts a
small establishment on Summit street.
Just west of the soldiers home, filed
an information in Justice Millard's
court this afternoon charging an I'M
known gypsy woman with larceny.
Dean first told the sheriff's officers of
the escapade, and Sheriff Hutson start
ed In pursuit of the band Of gipsies Of
which the woman is supposed to be a
member.
Dean says that the woman came in
mis- shop to make some purchases, and
as she was about to depart asked him
to give her nickel for luck. Dean
said he took out his purse, which the
woman snatched from his hand, emp
tying all the silver out, and throwing
the pocketbook, the other side of which
contained bills, at him. She jumped
into wagon and those with her hur-
ried the horses west.
Deputy Sheriff Cause, on the te1e-
phone, located the direction of the par
ty as the sheriff was getting ready to
start. The last seen of the gypsy wag-
on was when it passed the Sam Nc
Grew farm, southwest of town.
The woman was arrested late this
afternoon two miles south Of LaMoille.

Dear Sir: A gallon saved is "a or

A gallon saved saves the painting

we have known it five in ten; but that
