Special to Tirnes-1epublican.
Vinton, June 17-When the mana
ger Of the Harwood Grain Company
opened his office at Garrison yester-
day morning, he found things in bad
way. Windows were broken out and
much other damage done Indications

that the safe had not been tempered
with. Jacob Meahouse, C. G. Lahue,
John Lahue and Oren Weigold, four
young men of that city, were arrested
yesterday afternoon2Fby Sheriff Blair,
charged with malicious mischief, and
were brought to this city, where they
were released on bonds to appear at a

The reason for the destruction of the
property cannot be given, but it is
thought that it is settlement of an
old grudge.

BASKETBALL LOOKS
BETTER FOR SAINTS
TEAM SEEKS ADMISSION INTO
SOUTHERN LEAGUE
Plenty of Games Ahead and College
VIII Have Strong Players, Prob
ably EquaIing the Five
of 1906

Basketball prospects at st. Vincent's
college are improving as time passes.
Yesterday afternoon Manager Mcneil
was in communication with the secre-
tary of the Southern California Mems
Basketball association and applied for
his teams admission to the league. A
meeting of the league directors is TO
be held on the oath, at which time the
St Vincents team will in all probable
ity be admitted.
When the Saints began practice two
weeks ago breakers appeared ahead,
for II seemed more than likely that
they would not be able to arrange
games with the remaining Southern
California colleges. However, as all the
colleges are or intend to become MEM
bers of the basketball association, the
team will have all the games it will
be able to handle.
st. Vincent's will in all probability
have q strong team in the field, and
will attempt to uphold the record made
in past years. For three years, before
the break with the conference schools,
the Saints put out fast teams, breaking
even with Whittier college for the
Southern California championship in
1906.
Manager Mcneil has had a large
squad out working for some time, and
the men are showing up in good form.
Forward Cunningham and Center
Holleran of the 1906 team are doing ex-
cellent work in their respective posi-
tions and will be pair hard to beat.
Reynolds and Van Orshoven, who act
ed as subs two years ago, are taking
care of the guard positions and are
showing up well. For the vacant posi-
tion at forward Mcneil, Deitrichs and
Daze are the most promising candi-
dates, any of them being we'll able to
take care of the position.

WHITTIER CADETS AND
COMPTON TO PLAY BALL
Best Pitchers of State School Gone
but Several Applicants for Place
Are Promising - First
Game Christmas

Baseball occupies the board at the
Whittier state school, and the cadets
feel confident they will be able to
make it interesting for the best of the
amateur clubs in the county, regard
less of the fact that they will soon
lose Kyle and Willoughby, their vet
eran slabsters.
Worthy successors to these, it is be-
lieved, will be found among the sew
eral applicants for the slab position.
The cadets will play their first game
Christmas day, when on their own dia-
mond they will cross bats with the
Compton Athletic club.
The school has produced a number OF
star players, prominent among them
being Easterly of the Los Angeles
team, who reports to Cleveland next
year, and Donovan, brother to wild
Bilp' Donovan of the Detroits, who
played with the Salt Lake team last
season.

ALASKA TO MEXICO
ROUTE OF M0T0RIST

SEATTLE, Dec. 17.--From the Klon-
dixie to the City Of Mexico and return
in an automobile is the trip on which
Stanley Scarce, a rich merchant of
Dawson, who arrived here yesterday.
is bent on making before the end of
April. Two years ago he purchased a
machine to attend to his business in
the Klondike. Last spring he drove 1t
over the ice of the Yukon river 10S
miles in less than day, the machine
climbing ice jams and riding over the
rough Ice with ease. After criss-cross-
ing California he will go over all the
roads passable in Mexico and then by
the shortest possible routes come back
to Seattle. He will ship the machine
from here to Whitehorse, and on April
10 start on a 375-mile trip over the ice
to Dawson.
Scearce believes that with proper
care a machine can be run the entire
length of the Yukon river over the ice
in the spring OF the year after the hrst
thaw has set Ia.

in action again, and the fact that he
has picked a tougher opponent Inan
Young McGovern and one who fights
along identically the same style that
he uses, makes this bout stand out as
the star card of the minor events Of
the evening Rennie, who will OPP
pose him. is a newcomer here, having
recently arrived from Chicago, and in
his tryouts he has proved that he is
worthy of serious consideration. He Is
a natural fighter, speedy, and wal
loper of good ability.
Corbett has not had a fair tryout
since arriving on the coast, although
he showed to good advantage in his
only local appearance. He hardly could
be expected to do his best against a
rugged chap like Jack Redmond until
he had become acclimated and had
trained properly. What he will do to
the Jap tonight will be a plenty, but
the Jap will also be there with the do
ing business.
Young Solomon is no stranger to the
fans, despite that he has not been a
regular on the bills recently. He
trained with Ketchel and other big
boys and showed in the workouts that
he is a fighting boy of rare garneness
and q terrific punch. He will take a
scrapper of some merit when he meets
Woods, who is a brother of Billy
Woods, the crack middleweight. This
bout should be a continuous whirl-
wind until one Of them takes the count,
and it is a cinch that six rounds will
be more than plenty in which to set
tie their argument.
The usual popular prices will prevail,
the tickets ranging in price from 80
cents to 80. This win be the last that
McCarey will stage until after the
holidays, and it is expected that the
fans will turn out and help wind up
the season in an appropriate manner
at the Maud Junction club. Charlie Ey-
ton will referee the main event and
George Blake viii handle the prelimi-
naries.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-12-18


Naturally, interest will center in the
main event, because it will be the first
appearancse here of Dick Hyland since
his memorable scrap with Cyclone
Thompson. Hyland is topnotch llgnt-
weight of excellent class and all his
championship pretensions are backed
by a highly creditable record in the
ring and against good boys. Desplte
his class and prominence, however, ne
is stacking up against an awful tough
proposition in Kid Dalton. The latter
has Just returned home from long
fighting trip to the north, where he
knocked out all his opponents except
Thompson.
Dalton wants to go to the top of the
heap and is not bit scared by the
reputation of Hyland. A little expe-
rience away from home and his sue
cesses up north have made Dalton more
confident and have polished him Off to
a degree that makes him more Sc
rious proposition than heretofore, when
he was a pofk-andbean champion
here. He is a real scrapper now and
hopes to prove tonight that he has
some class. 1t would be considered
rather remarkable if he should knock
out Hyland, yet he proposes to make
the attempt. In the event that he
should do so regardless of how tar-
fetched the prOpOSltlOn Is III duFdHCe'
he will become some pumpkins in the
fight game.
Both BOYS have been training hard
for the scrap and are in excellent con-
dition for a gruelling battle They are
down to weight, having agreed to do
the lightweight limit at o'clock this
evening, and the weightmaking stunt
has not affected their condition. Dali
ton will be fit to put up the best fight
of which he is capable, and is in bet
ter trim than when he stood off
Frank Carsey for twenty-five rounds.
The preliminaries are above the or
binary in class. All those who saw
frankie Sullivan and Terry McGovern
mix it last week will want to see him

the fraternity by it's clean and well
edited columns and if it is continued as
it has been started it will not be an
unwelcome enterprise.
Uncle Tom McCarey is performing a
daily walking feat to benefit his health.
He is staying at Sierra Madre for an
indefinite period and finds it both
pleasant and beneficial to hoof it from
the race track to his temporary home
on the mountainside. 1t is a short
walk for a robust man, but rather long
for Uncle Tom, yet he persists in the
exercise and says he enjoys it.
A. vi. Allen, who built Santa Anita
racing plant, arrived yesterday from
Frisco and will pass several days here
on a business mission. He still holds
that the crowning achievement of his
career as a builder of race courses is
the Santa Anita plant, and he is very
proud of the fact that he can claim the
credit for furnishing the finest, most
modern, fastest and most beautiful rae
ing plant in the world.
Play was resumed last night in the
three-cushion billiard tournament at
Morley's Casino parlors, and four
games were played, as follows: Bayne
won from Golmer, 20 to 90 and also
defeated llch, 70 to 10. GOlmer deIeaI-
ed Duffy. 25 to 1S, and Lich, 25 to %.
This leaves only White with a perfect
score, he having won two games and
lost none. He is the next victim to be
raked over the Goals and If he can
be beaten in one of the remaining
games he will make the fight for first
honors decidedly interesting. The
schedule calls for a full tournament
play of four games Monday night be-
ginning at s o'clock, and since the
standings of the players have been
made so nearly an even break the in
terest is increasing, and good crowds
are attending.
Jockey Treubel has served his ten
days suspension for disobedience, and
will be up again today. This means
that he will be open to accept outside
mounts and will ride all the Chinn can
didates in future. Treubel is a crack
erjack rider, and the fact that he will
be seen in the saddle regularly from
now on is good news to racegoers.
Red Walker yesterday announced
that he had set down Jockey Harris
| indefinitely and will ride good boys on
his candidates for stake and purse hon.
/ ors in future. Walker has been dis
satisfied for a long time with the ef-
forts of Harris in the saddle, and is
of the opinion that his horses will show
improved form and win more races
with a change. Undoubtedly he is cor
rect in this opinion.

IT ANDICAPPER GEORGE HAM
III COCK of the Pacific Athletic
- club leaves Sunday night for
Frisco to attend the Jim Flynn-Sam
Langford scrap and will make an ef-
fort to get the winner for an early
date before the local club. Local fight
fans have a fair idea as to what the
winners name will be. and it will not
be Flynn, according to dope, but they
may be fooled just a little bit in this
regard. However, Hancock generally
gets what he goes after and it looks
like a cinch that the winner will make
his next appearance at Maud Junction
Flynn may be a most agreeable sur
prise by beating the marvellous black
boxer, and in that event he viii be-
come the pugihstic sensation of the
hour But if Langford goes on his way
and whips the fighting fireman he Will
be better card than ever before.
Langford has just about fought himself
out of job and if he puts Flynn away
he will find it extremely difficult to
get any scrapper of good drawing
powers to sign up with him. Langford
made his reputation principally by his
knockout victories over Jim Barry but
he also has whipped d few heavyweight

to a ton more than himself On dope,
Langford should win, and he probably
will justify form by doing so. But
after he wins it will be a difficult job
of figuring out who will be a good
drawing card with him, and If Han
cock succeeds in making a good match
he will make himself famous in the
sporting world as a matchmaker Of the
best class.
A. w. Kelly, business man of Chi
cago, but formerly known in the SPORT
ing world as King Kelly, the great
half-back at Princeton a dozen years
ago. is in Los Angeles on his first visit
to the City of Angeles. Kelly came
over from Santa Barbara with the
Moore party, which made a special
visit to Los Angeles to attend the
Kelly fight last Tuesday night.
He was up and down the Ritalto yes
terday, meeting the good fellows and
getting acquainted with the best bunch
in the world.
For the first time this season snow
was visible on the mountain peaks sur
rounding Santa Anita, and the crowds
that went out to the races yesterday,
especially the eastern bunch that ar
rived here recently on its maiden trip,
was amazed at the spectacle of being
able to ride through groves of ripenine
oranges while viewing the snow-capped
mountain peaks and basking in the
summer sunshine they cannot find back
east.
