While the mass meeting was being

in other parts Of the building and made
addresses there.
r. w. Blanchard said: ''The bill
which we put through the legislature
is the fairest that could be devised.
The contracts must be let to the lowest
bidders. They provide for one kind OF
road only. 1t must be sixteen feet wide
and of macadam, with seven feet on
each side, making road as wide as
could be desired"
Opportunities to question the speaker
were given, and in reply to the query
whether Los Angeles citizens would
have preference in the work OF con-
struction he said:
"The work is to be given to American
citizens and residents of Los Angeles
There will be work at once for 5000 men.

There will be a special meeting to-
night of the San Diego Rowing club in
the southern city to complete final ar
engagements for a rowing regatta to be
held, Labor day. Subscriptions will be
taken at the meeting for $500 per-
petual challenge cup, which Will be Of
fered by the club with the condition
that it must be won three times by the
same crew before 1t can become the
property of the crew.
The regatta probably will be the big
gest undertaking of it's kind ever held
on the Pacific coast, and will be a
fitting preliminary to the regatta which
is being planned by the Los Angeles
Athletic Club Rowing association under
the direction Of AL Treloar, and which
will involve the rowing championship
of California 1t is probable that the
San Diego club will send invitations
to the Dolphin Rowing club of San
Francisco and the Los Angeles Attn
ietic club to compete in the races. Al
Treloar said last night that the four
oar crew of the club would be there
with the goods.
Ever since the memorable race of
last September, when the Los Angeles
Athletic club four-oar crew won the
race from the San Diego crew, the
southerners have been hankering for
return match, Although the San Diego
crew has the advantage of training
quarters. the Los Angeles Athletic
club crew has the advantage of an exc
perienced trainer, which more than
equalizes the score.
The four-oar crew of the local club
will start training this week at San
Pedro and continue to row each day
until the day OF the race. This VIII
give the boys six weeks in which to
get into trim and, compared to eastern
crews, who generally start to train for
a race six months before the event,
the time seems short, but as the MEM
bers of the crew are not soft, IL is not
supposed that this will make any great
difference. 1t will mean grueling work
for the rowers, but the personal ad-
vantage gained by each of the partici-
pants will far outweigh this.
The makeup of the crew VIII be

WIDOW WINS DAY IN
GELDREICH CONTEST

Judge Rives yesterday handed down
his decision In the Geidreich will con-
test, admitting the will to probate and
thus ruling in favor OF the widow,
Mrs. Grace Yeipin-Alexander-J ohnson-
Davies Geldreich.
The contest, which was brought in
the probate court last week, was begun
by Walter Geldreich, the 17-year-old
and only son Of Jacob Geldreich, who
died April ., 1908, leaving to his wife
of five weeks his $4,000 estate and cut
ting. his son off with S..
b. d. Roberts, guardian OF the disin-
herited lad, alleged that undue infiu-
ence was used at the time the will was
made.
Jacob Geldreich. who was stone
contractor, met Mrs. Geldreich about
two years previous to his marriage.
When he was confined to his bed in the
last stages of tuberculosis she nursed
him. March T. while he practically was
on his deathbed, they were married,
and April S. Ave weeks later, Geld
reich died.
In addition to the IS left him by his
father the boy received $1,000 insurance,
which he would have also lost had his
father been able to assign the policy
to his wife. An attempt was made to
do SO, but on account Of the feeble
ness Of the father it failed.

most fertile soil In the whole world and
are shipping our products all over the
country, and even to Europe, but the
bad roads from the farming districts to
Los Angeles. the shipping point, are a
serious problem to the farmer. Why,
when I was driving over one OF the
roads my carriage struck chuck hole.
the axle broke and / was thrown out,
breaking three of my ribs. Naturally
after that am in favor of good roads.
Seriously there is no question that fruit
is often damaged by it's transportat ton
along country roads. do not think
there is a subject today before the peo-
pie of Los Angeles that is of more inn
portance to their future welfare than
good roads"
The Unemployed Problem
While speaking before the members
of the different labor organizations At
torney Rogers referred to the demon
stration In front of Hamburger store
yesterday morning. when several thou
sand persons answered an ADVERTISE
ment for clerks.
IT saw 1000 people fighting with po-
licemen; lighting for chance to work.
To me it was a horrible sight-one that
do not wish to see again. 1t simply
means that there are more people in
Los Angeles than there are jobs. IL
this good roads measure passes, II you
get out and vote for 1t, there will be
permanent jobs for 5000 persons at
once. 1t will advance prosperity, de-
termine the commercial status Of the
city and insure it's future. 1t is labor
ing mans proposition as well as one
that should appeal to the owner of the
automobile. Whether you walk, ride
a bicycle, drive a wagon or an automo-
bile you want good roads, and the
Iaboring man gets the best of 1t. for,
unless he owns property, he will not
have to pay for it, and he is sure of a
good job besides"
Mr.. Rogers submitted to being ques-
toned by any one and quite discus
sion resulted. He explained that the
circulation of $S,5OO,OO0 in the city
would be of benefit to everyone, even
though it were not paid to all directly.
IT owe Stanley Wilson a dollar" he
said, land some day am going to pay
him. When I pay him he will pay. you
the dollar he owes you, and perhaps
you will pay the other man. In this
way everyone gets his money"
Mr., Gosper concluded the meeting
with q tribute to the work done by
Mr.. Blanchard in behalf of good roads,
and an appel to everyone to remember
the ballot box Thursday.

league in this city prove how many
things can be accomplished in that
time and that all that is needed Is
for some one to put their shoulder TO
the wheel and keep alive interest In
the game all the time, Like the Ma
tional league, which started in 1878 as
q six-club league, the Los Angeles
County league was formed with only
half a dozen clubs, At that time the
Newsies, Alhambra, Bailey-Schmitz,
Dolgeville, Home Telephone and the
d. I. Nofzigers were playing on the
different sand lots, and we'll do / re-
member how the Newsies first defeat
ed the Dolgeville nine Ia good team
them on the Prayer tract diamond,
which put them in the running for the
pennant of the league. Also how, when
it came the turn of the Newsies to play
the d. I. Nofzigers the captain went
up to the manager of the Newsies,
"Turl" Debbs, and whispered in his
ear: Say, kiddo, we don't want to see
the Alhambra nine win this pennant,
and we will throw the game, providing
you guys don't shoot off your mouth"
Turk told the gang" and just for
meanness the lumber team put in its
best pitcher and beat the Newsies by
a close margin, The Alhambra nine,
after playing the Newsies one ten
second lap of the Anal series, beat them
out in a twelve-inning game by the
score of 1 to 0. The pennant was
awarded to the Alhambra team and the
league disbanded, The boys appreciat-
ed my work in bringing them together,
as they elected me president of the
organization, which office l held for
more than sixteen weeks. Some pretty
hard battles were fought out In those
l. t.,f Nc on En1Ifh
Broadway, and column after column

ateur fans could have been written II

One of the longest games Of baseball
that ever has been played was pulled
off at Cory, Pa, the other day, when
the Cory club played twenty-three
innings against the FalconeFs and won
by the score of to 1. Pitcher Bedient
of Falconer struck out forty-two men,

After repeating the question severaI

President Mccormick said after the

open to challenges to play any clup,

to be played at Fiesta park instead OF
at Venice, which city he has forsaken
