EACH BOUT IS
A MAIN EVENT
M'CAREY ARRANGES FOUR TEN.
ROUND SCRAPS
CARD FOR FRIDAY NIGHT MOST
ATTRACTIVE
George Herberts-Frank PIcato, How
ard 5aker-Wlllie Fairbanks, Rob-
inson-congo Coon and RUSSELL
Kid Snyder Is Offering

Manager McCarey has matched UP
eight of the most likely boxers in Los
Angeles for the weekly show at his
Maud Junction pavilion next Friday
night, and the affair has been dubbed
the -four -main-event" card. The bouts
are as follows:
George Herberts VS.. Frank Picato.
ten rounds, 1856 at p. IN.
Howard Baker VS.. Willie Fairbanks,
ten rounds, catchweights.
Bubbles Robinson VS.. Congo Coon,
ten rounds, catchweights.
Eddie Russell VS.. Kid Snyder, ten
rounds, 122 pounds.
A more attractive program hardly
could be arranged, and the usual popu-
lar prices will prevail for the event.
Herbert's arrival in Los Angeles yester-
day morning, fresh from his victorious
career in the middle west and the Pa
cific Athletic club, was not slow In
gobbling him up for this card. Frank
Picato has been showing such good
class lately that he has been selected to
try out the newcomer.
Fairbanks and Baker will meet to de-
eide whether the victory of Baker at
San Bernardino was a luke or whether
he has the Indian sign on Fairbanks.
The latter had a bad leg the night he
Iougnt Baker ana put up good ngnt
in spite of this handicap. He has been
after Baker ever since for a return
match, and now that the next match
has been made Fairbanks declares that
he will train assidously for the bout
and that ne will show the fans that he
can beat Baker over the ten-round
route.
Bubbles Robinson and the Congo
Coon are sore over the scrap they had
Friday night, and both of them have
gone into training for the longer bout
which has been scheduled. Bubbles
thought he had rather soft snap
when he hooked up with Congo In their
four-round bout, but he, found he had
caught tartar, and now he hopes to
show him up in this ten-round contest.
The boys in the other bout are about
the best in their class, with the excep-
tion of Fisher, and the winner of tho
bout has been matched to meet the
San Berdoo lad at McCarey's pavilion.
the evening. of October 23 in a ten
round contest. Fisher has begun train
ing already for this bout, and the fans
certainly will see some good fighting
when Snyder and Russell try to get the
coveted chance at the popular light
haired fighter.

ing a game today, Manager Newton
has arranged for a oame between the
fats and the leans. About twenty men
have volunteered on each side and the
lineup, If such it may be called in
cludes the names of many business
and professional men of San Pedro.

be in order, probably more 'hot" than
game" A good deal of enthusiasm
is manifest over the game around the
harbor city and probably a large
crowd will be out at The harbor city
park to Sc the fun.

SANTA ANA HIGH
DEFEATS POMONA
CLAREM0NT ELEVEN LOSES
TO MINOR TEAM
Touchdown by Humphrey and Well
Placed Field Goal Cause Down.
fall of Coach Stanton's
Warriors
Especial to The Herald


CLAREMONT, Oct. 1O.-In direct
contrast to the snappy classy football
put up by the freshmen aggregations
was the game between the Pomona
varsity and Santa Ana high school,
which resulted in a most humiliating
defeat for the college team to the tune
of 10 to 0.
| A touchdown by Pumphrey, the
Santa Ana left halfback, and a nicely
| placed field goal from the thirty-yard
line in the second half proved the un-
doing of the varsity, whose nearest
attempt at scoring came early in the
! first when after a series of end runs
and exchange of punts Birdsall broke
away on a short end run and crossed
the goal line only to have his guards
declared offside and the ball placed
out of reach of the posts with a PEN
atty added for the breach of rules.
AS in the freshie game, the first half
was barren of scoring, while the ball
zigzagged up and down the field,
changing hands frequently and putting
being resorted to to save the loss of
the ball Oh downs.
In the second half the high school
lads started things going on clever
forward pass from Dubois to Pumph-
rey, who managed to shake off the OPP
posing taclklers and wriggled over the
line for a tally. In his first attempt
at goal Tedford failed, but later, when
Referee Chisholm declared the Pomona
linemen offside on the play and Sec
ond trial Was allowed, he made good.
After the next kickoff the Peatland-
ers gradually worked the ball up the
field near enough for Tedford to send
it squarely between the goal posts
from the thirty-yard line for an ad-
ditional four points. Santa Ana came
near scoring again, but by the splen-
did spirals of Fullback Mahoaey the
varsity managed to defend their goal
from further assaults.
Tedford was the mainstay of the
game for the visitors, with his long
kicks and dashing runs, averaging
from five to thirty-five yards. For
the Claremonters. Mahoney showed up
We'll at full and VIII likely be devel-
oped into the punter of this season.
Vale passed splendidly at quarter
and got into the game for several
quarterback runs.
Coach Stanton of Pomona made few
excuses for his team after the game,
bus said that it was nothing more than
he had expected as little varsity back
field material was at hand and all the
halves whc were tried out were new
at the game. Several of the former
varsity men were out of the game and
this may in some manner account for
the collegians. although 1t cannot be
denied that the Santa Anans put up
one of the classiest games played in
the south and have strong chances of
cleaning UP all the county high schools
except Los Angeles high The lineup:

Teheran Persia. Feb. 29.-Moham- med Ali Mirsa, shah of Persia, mar rowly escaped death at the hands of an assassin Friday. A bomb was thrown from the roof of house at the shah's automobile, in which 1t was supposed he was passenger.

Fortunately, the shah had taken the preCautlOn to send his automobile in front of the vehicle which he occupied, and to this foresight probably owes his escape from death. Two bombs were thrown, but the first exploded in the air and did no damage The second, however, struck the ground a few feet from the automobile and tore the vehicle to pieces. The assassins believed the shah was in the motor car. which is a closed one, but which it developed car ried no passengers.
 When the explosion occurred the shahs carriage was some distance in the rear of the automobile and the ruler Immediately left his carriage and took refuge in nearby store, where he quietly remained until de taehment of troops could be brought up.
