Generally accepted notions about
comparative safety OF railroad travel
were disturbed in the White Muntain
express train wreck at Greenwich, Cnnn.
Thursday when the five parlor ears were
smashed; while the five day coaches,
supposedly more frail and therefore less
capable of protecting their passengers,
stood the test and didn't even tip over.
The one person killed and a majority
OF those injured were riding in the par
Tor cars. But the greater confidence
placed in the parlors cars will not be
entirely shaken because of this one ex.
eeption to the general belief, for in
nine out OF every ten wrecks heretofore
noted, it has been the fact that the
lighter day coaches sustained the worst
damage and the people riding in them
sustained the greatest casualties.

other owners a great deal of worry

.NHICAGO and Detroit can enthuse
over their champion ball teams
and the fight for the world cham
pionship, but there will be a game or
baseball played at Chutes park, Los
Angeles, Immediately after the Elks'
festival in November that will stir up
more enthusiasm and as much good
sportsmanship, in proportion, as the
two major league teams named have
created In their respective cities. That
game will be the semi-occasional quar-
rel between the Fats and the Leans.
Freddie Mailer, who is a prime mover
in all things in the local sporting
world, is captain and manager of the
Fatties and yesterday he divulged the
secret that the heavyweights will put

gade. This game will be played for
the benefit of the Elks' entertainment
fund and IL it does not draw out as
much as $4,000 there will be lot of
disappointed good sports in town after
ward. One pleasing feature of the
game will be the banquet, informally
spread and more informally destroyed,
which Maier will give at the big brew

Another pleasing feature will be the
fact that the r-champions in the
local baseball world will be playing

latter game will be played fortnight

the Pacific Athletic club is serving up
weekly at McCarey's pavilion is we'll
evidenced by the crowds which gather
at the Maui Junction arena every time
a card is staged. Next Friday evening
program of more than ordinary merit
will hold the board, the events, all at
ten rounds, being as follows:
George Herberts VS.. Frank Picato.
Willie Fairbanks VS.. Howard Baker.
Bubbles Robinson VS.. Congo Coon,
Eddie Russell VS.. Kid Snyder.
Herberts has not been seen I'm Los
Angeles ring. but has made a good rec
ord in San Francisco and in the middle
west, which will compare favorably
with the best of the lightweight rec
ords. He will meet in Frank Picato
a boy who has shown himself to pos
sess class and staying powers. In the
beginning of his professional career
Picato was called the 'knockout kid"
and he has revived the punch which
made him the cynosure of all eyes for
several months. He is training down
to get into condition for great con-
test, for he realizes that Herberts is one
of the best boys who have been entered
in the ring battles in the city for some
time.
OF all the contests. the one between
Kid Snyder and Eddie Russell will
catch the fancy of the fans, for the
lads are fighting to get chance at

The two already were matched and
they will fight harder than ever to see
who will be the fortunate one to meet
the light haired lad with the Battling
Nelson style.
Baker and Fairbanks are fairly bub-
bling over with anxiety for a chance to
get at each other again. Fairbanks is
'sore" at the way he was handled by
Baker when the two fought at San
Bernardino and he has been waiting
for just such an opportunity as this to
show that with training, he is Bakers
master. Baker shrugs his shoulders
whenever Fairbanks is mentioned for
he believes that he holds the Frisco
boy safe at all stages That the affair
will be a series of rapid fire exchanges
the fans may believe, for Fairbanks
says he will adopt a different style of
fighting and will go after Baker from
the first entry into the ring.
