A banking reserve Is for use, not
merely for show. 1t Is for use In times
OF emergency. Yet some bankers look
upon their reserves very much as the
superintendent OF hospital regarded
Its emergency bed. A patient all bang

the hospital one night and was told
that there was no room for him. why
not put him In the emergency bed% It
was suggested. IF we put him In the

The royal court of France used to be
a great place for etiquette. Louis XIV.
once caught severe cold owing to
the fact that on his arising from his

him his shirt, happened to be absent.

FORSYTH BRINGS
NEWS OF AUBURN
Addition to the Factory VIII Double
Capacity of the Plant-1eo9
Cars Are All
Sold

R. L. Forsyth, Southern California
agent for the Auburn, returned yester-
day from the Auburn factory with the
first definite news of the new four
cylinder Auburn, which will be one of
his lines for 1909.
Mr.. Fortyth rode in this car at the
factory and is highly elated The car
will be of the four-cylinder type with
q thirty-horse power motor. 1t will
have q three-speed Selective type trans
mission, multiple disc, clutch, full clip
tic springs and double ignition system.
1t will be elegantly finished and will
have every feature desired in high
class automobile. Deliveries are prom
ised of this car about October 10. The
price will be in the neighborhood of
$500 for the touring car and somewhat
cheaper for the roadster.
"There will be little change in the
two-cylinder car" said Mr.. Forsyth.
"The 24-horse power car which now
holds the Los Angeles-San Francisco
record for two-cylinder cars will be
continued with only few refinements.
These cars will be here within the next
month.
"At the Auburn factory / found the
1908 output sold. Every department is
busy now getting material together for
the new cars, and September 15 a night
and day force will be put on in order
that deliveries can be made early.
1.-THE large addition is being made
to the Auburn plant which will result
in doubling the capacity. The heads of
the Auburn company are greatly in
terested in what is being done on the
coast, and I was congratulated on the
great run we made from San Francisco.
Los Angeles ranks well up among the
Auburn agencies, Kansas City being
the leader.

BEST RIDER IN THE LAND TO

one-Hour Race Is One of the Many
Features on the Days Pros

Closed
BY FREDERIC PABsT

The motorcycle races at Agricultural
park Admission day have aroused great
interest among the riders of the chug-
chugs, and the predictions have been
made that many of the present worlds
records will be smashed when the stars
meet to determine the superiority of
the different makes.
The entries closed Saturday night
with a big list of starters in all the
events. Every well known make will
be represented, and the Los Angeles
Motorcycle club is certain to add an
other to it's list of successful events.
Paul Derkum, one of the first of the
local boys to come into prominence, VIII
be seen on a Thor, and Derkum prom
ises to do things to his rivals.
There will be much interest in the
meeting between Derkum and Jake De
Roster, the we'll known eastern rider,
who will make his first appearance on a
western track. He will be astride an
Indian. Frank Kellogg, an eastern am
ateur, will also appear in the amateur
events.
Among the best known local riders
who will appear are Ray Seymour, lrY-
ing Knappe, Frank Bueneman, w. q.
Hoag and several others.
Lee Richardson has shipped Harley
Davidson down from Redlands, and
Merkel racer will strive for honors.
The meeting is sanctioned by the F..
A. NJ, and will be one of the biggest
events of the kind ever held in the west.
There will be lively times in the trials
this week, and the many weird rumors
of miles reeled off in 55 and better can
be expected. AT that the fastest mile
is almost certain to be well under the
minute mark. With the best riders and
the fastest machines records are in
danger.
The big features will be the two pro-
fessional races, which will bring to-
gether Derkum and De Roster, and the
one hour race. The long race will be a
novelty in Los Angeles, being the first
scheduled for the local track. 1t will
test the stability of the different ma kes,
and will be watched by the public.

N ESPITE that three world cham
pions will make defense of their
= titles in the state of California in
the next four days, the greatest fight
of the three will be staged in the
Vernon arena of the Jeffries Athletic
club tomorrow afternoon, when Stanley
Ketchel, undisputed king of the middle
weight division, and Billy Papke, ac-
knoWledged as the most worthy and
formidable rival of the champion for
his title, will meet in a scheduled 25-
round battle for the championship
honors of that division. Although there
is much interest everywhere in the re-
suits of the Attell- Moran and Nelson
Cans scraps at San Francisco, the real
interest of fight fans throughout the
civilized world centers in the Ketchel-
Papke mill, and it outranks the other
pair OF scraps in the same degree that
any ordinary main event outranks it's
preliminaries.
The management of the Jeffries Ath-
letic club invites local fans to witness
the greatest battle that has been ar
ranged anywhere in the last five or six
years, and there is none to dispute the
claim of the club that it has the
premier pugilistic attraction OF the day.
Ketchel is the pugilistic marvel of the
decade, ranking as prominently today
as Jeffries ranked in his prime, when
he, like Ketchel, was moving them all
down and startling the sporting world
every time he stepped into the ring to
fight. just as Ketchel is doing in this

derbolt, is one of the greatest fighters
the middleweight division has produced
since the days of Tommy Ryan and
Kid Mccoy, and only because Ketchel
shines more brilliantly as the star OF
that division does Papke seem less
prominent There is class that is real
and class involved in this fight, and one
of the greatest fighters of the age is
due to be defeated when the battle
ends, regardless of the result.
Papke Will Be Champion
Oddly enough, after the battle is
fought and regardless of the result,
unless Ketchel reconsiders his deter
mination to abandon the title to the
middleweight championship win or lose,
Billy Papke will be recognized as the
middleweight champion of the world.
Ketchel says that Papke will be recog-
nized as the middleweight champion
of the world. Ketchel says that Papke
is the greatest middleweight battler of
the day, himself alone excepted, and
that he will abandon the division and
tide after this fight and expects the
sporting world to recognize Papke as
the champion to defend the title in
future. Papke admits all that Ketchei
says, barring the personal exception,
and says that he will win the title by
defeating Ketchel However, If Ketche1
wins, he will renounce the title and get
into the light heavyweight division for

| While Bert Latham and C. p. King
in Tabasco /, the Kisselkar racer, and
Leon T. Shelter with a party of three
others in a REQ were returning from
Shoemaker's ranch one day last week
they had the unusual experience of
passing through thunder storm ana
narrowly escaping being further
drenched by two cloudbursts.
The party had been over the route
of the coming race to North Baldy
mountain and stopped over night at
Shoemaker's. from which place the trip
to the mountain top and the return to
Los Angeles was made the second day
Just as the party was ready to leave
Shoemaker's it began to rain
To the west nearer Palmdale it was
seen that the storm was heavier, and
when the Myrtle school was reached a
torrent of yellow, muddy water was
found to be rushing down the long
grade.
The machines steadily plugged along
at low speed with the wheels frequently
dropping into holes a foot deep that
the water had just washed out.
The grade was successfully made, but
it was IA relief when the summit was
gained and the torrent of water left
behind.
The rain extended to the edge of the
Mojave desert and stopped short at the
base of the low range of foothills, and
from Little Rock to Acton there was
little evidence of the storm, but at
Acton the street running through the
town was found flooded with water
from a few inches to a foot deep in
places. A cloudburst to the west of the
town had sent a great volume of water
down the streets that ran for an hour
or more before it subsidized.
Recent rains in the Big Rock canyon
have washed the road out in many
places and caused landslides in others
that have necessitated considerable
work on the mountain road to make it
passable again. The road from Saugus
to Palmdale through the Soledad is
being fixed up. Brush is being put in
the. worst sandy places so that the
cars can get traction and the larger
chuck holes are being filed.
The Kisselkar has been made ready
for its speed trials and they will begin
early next week. The schedule has
been laid out and the driving crew will
begin trying the car out so as to learn
just where the fast running will have
to be done to maintain the fast schedule
that Shelter has figured out for the
race.
