TOM WILLIAMS PAYS $4,000
TO SECURE JOCKEY MILLER
Lad Who Has Been Riding in the Eas'
Will Appear on California
Track During Coming
Winter
Nv Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-Walter Mil
Ter. the jockey, has signed contract to
ride next season for Thomas Fl. VIII
liams, president of the new California
Jockey club, the papers to become eff
fective after the close of the Benning
meeting. Williams is said to have paid
$4,000 for the boys services.
w. Fl. Stanton has had first call on
him, but the owners of the Newcastle
stable have been his chief supporters
for two years, Stanton has not, how
ever, been active in racing this season.
This gave the Newcastle practically first
call on the Jockeys services, for which
they gave him $4,000 a year, it is I'M
derstood.
James r. Keene gave a retaining
fee of $4,000 for third call on his SER
vices.
The contract papers held by Stanton
and the Newcastle stable on Miller ex-
pire at the end of the fall meeting at
the Banning track. This leaves Miller
free to dispose of his services wherever
he pleases. Three or four owners were
negotiating with him for his services
this winter. The contract is sanctioned
by his parents. He will ride for Mr..
Williams in California this winter and

HAGGERTY NOT TO
COACH OCCIDENTAL
Report That Trainer Would Again
Take Charge of Football Squad
Denied-oId Players
Are Back

Frank Haggerty will not coach Occi-
dental college football team this year.
1t has been reported that Haggerty re-
Gently made arrangements to coach the
boys at Highland Park and supporters of
Occidental college were jubilant over the
prospect of getting the well known coach
to round out their team.
Haggerty says his law work will not
permit him to undertake the coaching
of any team this season. He says he
will probably be able to take charge of
the baseball team at the beginning of
next season, but for the present he must
devote his time entirely to his law work.
Occidental appears to have some good
material this year. A number of the
old players are back and the new men
look promising. Practice work is al
ready progressing on the college athletic
field.

MANUAL TRAINING IS
FAR ADVANCED HERE
Superintendent konou Returns from
Study of Conditions in East and
lis Well Satisfied with
Local Progress

C. A. Kunou, superintendent of manual
training in the Los Angeles public
schools, returned yesterday from his ex-
tended tour of the eastern states, where
he went in the interest of his work with
the public schools here.
Mr.. Kunou was about the office of E..
C. Moore, superintendent of public
schools, and found out great deal or
what the board of education was plan
ming for the ensuing scholastic year. He
was on the point of telling Mr.. Moore
a few suggestions he had obtained in
the east when he discovered that Mr..
Moore was considering things along the
very line he himself was planning.
"If the board of education proposes to
make the improvements which Mr.. Moore
is thinking Of" said Mr.. Kunou yester-
day, Los Angeles will have as good a
school system as any in the country. L
have travelled in all the principal cities
of the east and inspected the various
departments of manual training in the
schools of Chicago, Boston, New York
and elsewhere, but found that Los An
geles was in the lead, comparatively, of
them all. The board of education and
the people of Los Angeles are willing
to equip their manual training courses
in the local public school system as they
should be. In a number of the eastern
cities they might as well have had no
manual training department in the public
school system. Except those in the met
ropolitan cities the manual training de-
partments were not worth mentioning
II obtained quite a number of new
ideas from the east which 1 will put
into effect as soon as I take UP my work
again.
st Louis, Washington. Kansas City
and Omaha may be proud of their man
ual training systems. That of Kansas
City resembles very much that of the
local polytechnic high school,
AS soon as Mr.. Kunou has rested for
day or SO he will resume his work.

CHICAGO ELEVEN
MAY VISIT COAST
ARRANGEMENTS MADE FOR GAME
WITH LOCAL TEAM
University of Southern California
Players May Line Up Against
Coach Stages Men on
Thanksgiving Day

If present plans are carried through
there will be a game in Los Angeles
between the University of Southern Cali
of Chicago eleven on Thanksgiving day
Coach Harvey Holmes of the University
of Southern California is now treating
with Coach Stage of the University of
Chicago regarding terms for the proposed
game.
When seen last night Coach Holmes
sad: II am not certain there will be
game between the University of Chi
cago and the Southern California uni
versity teams, but have been negotiat-
ing with Stage for some time regarding
the matter l feel almost positive there
will be a game.
1.-THE Chicago team will finish it's en-
gagements early in the season and will
have plenty of time to come here during
the Thanksgiving and Christmas holi-
days"
= If the Windy city team does come it
will be under contract and Coach Holmes
will have the say as to whether the
Chicago men will play any other team
while on the coast.
The following dispatch was received by
The Herald from Chicago last night:
University of Chicago football players
are to receive a reward for their efforts
on the gridiron this fall In the shape
of a Christmas outing in California.
Coach Stage is considering a game with
the University of Southern California as
part of the holiday journey, and the
men are expecting their long looked for
post season contest in the far west.
Coach Stage received an invitation
from the California men several days
ago, and he announced yesterday that
the trip was already beyond the question
Of possible stage, because of the short
western season.
with only five games to play this year
the players need not fear over-exertion
by the addition of one more game thar
their schedule. While the game with the
coast school is not yet a certainty the
players are practically assured of a post
season game. If the California college
is not taken on the team can easily
negotiate date with one Of the Other
western elevens."
University of Southern California team
are back this year and the balance OF
the varsity eleven will be made up from
raw material, as few of the new men
have had much previous experience with
the pigskin. At this early date Coach
Holmes is unable to tell much about the
new material and the strength of the
team is an unknown quantity.
Next week playing will begin between
the classes. On Tuesday a game will
be played between the juniors and SEN
Tors and another game between the third
and fourth academy teams. Wednesday
afternoon the freshman sophomore match
will come off, followed by the game be-
tween the first and second academy
teams. Thursday afternoon the two win
ming teams of the previous contests will
line up and the champions from these
two games will play off the final contest
Friday afternoon. Games will start at
$3.50 p. m.

"P0PE'S DICTUM PUTS RACE
BACK A THOUSAND YEARS"
Rabbi SiIverman of New York Attacks
nterdict-"Governme Should
Undertake All Education-lg-
norance Leads to Crime"
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-Criticism OF
the pope's recent encyclical against
modernism and declaration that gov
ernments should undertake all educa-
ton so that no retrograde step might
be taken, marked the atonement ad-
dress of Rabbi Joseph Silverman or
temple Emanuel. He said of the pope's
interdict:
at is time, high time, that the gov
ernments of the great religious organ
izations should protest against such a
decree; a dictum that would tend to
shunt the human race 1000 years back
ward, makes for the upholding Oh a
blind faith that can never bring happi-
ness to humanity"
He then added: 'It is high time for
the governments to establish more
laboratories, more schools, to add to the
sum total of human knowledge and to
spread the knowledge of truth among
the people. The criminality of the age
is due to the gross ignorance of higher
and lower classes"

PRES. BAER STRONG
FOR CLEAN SPORT
SAYS LOCAL COLLEGES MUST
GET TOGETHER
Coach Goheen of Occidental VIII Be
Ably Assisted-Frank Haggerty
to Direct Dolngs on
Diamond

In his address at noon chapel yester-
day President Baer announced 'he
athletics platform of Occidental coIlese
and declared himself strongly for cream
| snort and emphasized the sentiments
| of the institution against all forms Vi
professionalism.
| The president urged all who could
possibly turn out to do so and said tnat
| the undivided support of faculty anu
student body would follow the differ
ent teams.
In order that the liberal views of the
| institution may result in victory the
best coaching possible has been pro-
cured Head Coach Goheen will be as
sisted in rounding out the football can
didates by DIR. Billy Edwards. Frank
Haggerty, whose ability on the dia-
mond is acknowledged over the whole
state will have charge of baseball.
The season has been extended from two
months to five and will begin the first
of January instead of in April as here
tofore. Ex-Coach Ed Merrill has just
finished his medical course and is now
under contract as medical examiner.
His duties will commence about Octo-
Der l.
President Baer explained the advan-
tage of an alliance between the colleges
of the south and stated that Pomona
and Occidental had come to an agree
ment for the furtherance of pure anna
teurism. He expressed the desire that
U. s. c., ST. Vincents and Whittier
would come into the association. 1t Is
the intention of at least two of these
institutions to comply and no doubt all
will be mutually leagued before the
opening of the season. Only the col
leges which are entered will be eligi-
BILE for championship honors, This
will no doubt be an incentive for those
who now loiter.
Already the prophetic spirits who
follow the pigskin dope have COM
menced to forecast the chances of Oc-
cidentars eleven in general and some
have made bold to mentally place some
of the new candidates. Great things
are expected of the L. A. high recruits
and Petty, Johnson and the Kellog
brothers are shining brighter than the
rest. Wieman and Kenneth kellogg are
neck and neck for a position in the
back field. Wieman being an old player
is sure of a place, but desires to change
from tackle if the opposition is not too
strong from the kellogg quarters. Pa
rental objections and Ill health may
put Conrad, the big center, out of the
game temporarily. but the chances are
that he will participate in some of the
contests
The other positions are already filed
or will be. and when the opposition
comes to the Presbyterian camp they
will find a bunch in waiting to oppose
all claims they may have on the pen
nant

DISPUTE OVER FUNDS LEADS
CARRIAGE DEALERS ARREST
c. L. Beagle Taken Into Custody by
Detectlve-Said to be the Re-
suit of Business
Wrangle

c. L. Beagle. dealer in carriages and
farm implements at 104 North Los An
geles street. was arrested late last night
by detective from the Blair agency on a
charge of embezzlement. He was lodged
in the county jail.
1t is alleged that Beagle has collected on
account of the Michigan Carriage COM
pany, of which he was the local agent,
large sums of money which he has failed
to turn over, and that his shortage
amounts to several thousand dollars.
Beagle declined last night to make any
statement regarding his arrest except 10
say that he was innocent of the charge
against him. His friends state that there
has been dispute as to accounts between
the carriage company and Beagle, and
the criminal charge is made for the pur-
pose of forcing settlement which should
be adjusted in a civil court.

SANTA MONICA SPORTS
SORE AT LEAGUE RULING
speclal 10 Tho I1erald.

Special to Thu Herald.
SANTA MONICA, Sept. 19.-Local
baseball fans are loud in their condem-
nation of the amateur league managers
who, at a meeting at Los Angeles
Tuesday evening, decided that the
game won last Sunday by the locals
from the Huntington Beach team would
have to be played over again.
The managers had before them pro-
test entered by the Huntington Beach
nine in which the claim was made that
the spectators at the game had thrown
three-foot sticks on the diamond,
abused the umpire and tried to blind
their catcher by throwing dirt.
All of these charges the local base
ball enthusiasts emphatically assert to
be utterly false and without founda-
ton. The game, 1t was decided by the
league managers, will have to be re-
played at Santa Ana at the close of the
season. The fact that the Santa Mon
lea team leads by a long gap In the
pennant race is believed by players on
the team to be the reason why so much
antagonism is brought to bear against
them by the opposing mines.

DAM DISPUTE SETTLED;
MILLIONS OF LOGS MOVED
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WINTER, Wis, Sept. 19.-The famous
Dietz dam dispute has been settled. IL
is stated that an agreement has peen
made between the contending parties
and that the millions of feet of logs
that have long been held up by the
defendant of Cameron dam on Thorn
apple river near here will be moved at
once. The terms of the settlement are
not given.
The trouble arose over a dispute as
to the title of tract of land covering
the Cameron dam. Both the Chippewa
Log and Boom company and John Dietz
claimed title to the land and Dietz de-
Tended the property against all corners
Three sheriffs failed to capture Dietz
who had gained national fame for his
bold act in defying the authorities.
