Several out-of-town dealers were
present, as we'll as several local nota-

A score or more machines were gath

Broadway, and as fast as the guestS
could be loaded in they were Wnirieu
away to Santa Monica canyon, wnere
arrangements had been made for their
entertainment.
Athletic sports took up most of the
morning and great was the fun when
the fat men contested for the honor OF
making the fastest time over the clndeI.
path. which, however, was innocent OIL

Three-legged races and such sports
lasted until the big ball game attracteu
the crowd to the diamond, where the
teams from the ranks of the runper
men and the auto dealers ran around
the diamond when they could beat the
hall to first, while the pitchers threw
their glass arms out of joint and many
a fielder had to stick bruised niger
in his mouth and stand on one looi

AUTDISTS WILL TRY
FOR THE NELSON CUP
L. 3. Harvey and Daniel Whitman Ar
rive from San Francisco, but
viii Leave Soon on
Return Trip

L. B. Harvey and Daniel Whitman
arrived yesterday afternoon from San
Francisco in an '0S Rambler roadster.
Two days were consumed in making
the trip, as they we're looking over the
roads, with a record-breaking contest
in mind.
Within the next few days the men
will leave San Francisco with two
others and try for the Nelson cup.
They will use the Rambler roadster
they drove in making the trip down
and feel confident they can take few
minutes at least off the present record
of the White steamer
Mr.. Harvey is the coast travelling
man for the Rambler factory and has
the reputation of being one of the
fastest and best drivers on the coast.
A number of parties are scouting
around in hopes of getting their names
on the much priced cup, and the next
two weeks will probably see several
attempts made to set a new record for
the time between this city and San
Francisco.

CAPTAIN H. 0. RYUs AND PARTY
BRIEFS OF THE
SPORTING WORLD
BY ARTHUR e. DUNNING

Los Angeles came back again and
played the Seals to a standstill yester-
day afternoon, and the score shows the
Angels still are holding their own.
Uncle Frank Dillons white wings are
not daunted by the fact that they
slipped from the leading position short
ly after going north, and Hen Berry
is so optimistic of final victory for the
locals that he has written several let
tiers southwark assuring the fans that
he has a winning bunch. You can
get away from the fact that the An
gels are playing the most consistent
ball seen in the league this year, con-
sdering the disadvantages of a disad-
vantageous schedule and badly Grip
pied team.
Rudolph Unholz writes south that he
is planning to take little Jaunt In
this direction soon and pick anything
he can in the match line. Better stay
up in the northern sand lots, Ruddy,
for your popularity in Los Angeles
since your hollers have waited this
way could be hid under a thimble. If
ever a fighter was treated squarely by
fight promoter and fans. that man was
the lightweight champion of South
Africa, but Rudy forgot all this when
it became convenient.
News of the death of Lulimski the
lightweight champion of the battle
ship fleet, a title which he won here
at Chutes park during the presence of
the fleet, was a blow to many who
saw the game little lad put up his
whirlwind enga cement with Myers and
talked with him afterward. Jim JEFF
fries took a great liking to the game
little lad and the big fellow expressed
genuine sorrow when he heard the
news.
He was a good little fighter" said
Jim, land I am mighty sorry to hear
of his DEATH l believe if he had gone
into the professional side of the game
he would have made a name for him.
self in the lightweight division"
There were many other authorities
on boxing who sat at the ringside
when the, boy gained his title who
agree with Jim.
Seats were put on sale yesterday for
the Decoration day battle to be given
by the Jeffries Athletic club. in which
Freddie Welsh and Phil Brock will be
the principals. Already a good sized
reservation has been made for the aft
ernoon battle, and indications are for a
crowd of pleasing proportions. 1t will
be a test of the popularity in>this city
of the afternoon holiday meetings.
Coach Walter Hempe1 of st. Vim
cents is smiles when his prospects for
winning football team next year are
suggested. The little Grand avenue
football coach is sure he will have a
team that will be 100 per cent better
next year than was the last seasons
team, which means that Hempel has
confidence that he will annex the west
ern college championship next year.
Let's all get in and wish him luck, for
| man who hustles and gets there
surely is entitled to all the credit there

SUBSTITUTE FOR GLASS
MIRRORS is INVENTED

BY means OF the Cowper-Coles electrolytic
locess, It has been found possible TO substi-
tute metallic for glass mirrors in the case of
searchlights for battleships. This process con-
ssts of depositing by chemical means thin
silver film the convex side of a glass former
or mould, and then spinning the former in an
electrulytic cell charged with copper anodes
end a copper electrolyte. to deposit the
copper on the silver surface, the process being
continued until the silver film has received a
sufficient thickness of copper to give the de-
sired rigidity.
The glass mould and the electro deposit are
then removed from the depositng cell and
placed in vessel containing cold water. the
temperature of which is gradually raised until
the expansion of the copper is sufficient to
cause the metallic mirror to leave the glass
former.
The silver-faced mirror thus produced has as
highly polished surface glass and is finally
subjected to an after-treatment to prevent the
silver from furnishing. and then mounted in a
metallic ring (Which fits in the protector casc),
and provided with knife edges which firmly
