DATE OF SWIMMING
TOURNAMENT SET
LES HENRY AND GLARNER SET
TIME FOR TRYouT
Local PaddIers to Contest in April
and Finals viii Be Held May
in San Fran-
cisco

Andrew Glarner, one of the directors
of the Olympic Athletic club in San
Francisco and a prominent northern
athlete, is in town and spent yesterday
afternoon with Les Henry making ar
rangements for the swimming tryoutS
to be held in the Bay City for the
Olympic games on May 2.
His visit will materially change the
plans of the local paddlers in reference
to the preliminary swimming meets for
the big London trip. Les Henry and
his proteges had mentally settled some
time in June as the date for the San
Francisco preliminaries and had de-
cided to hold his own rehearsals for
picking the northern candidates in
May.
AS a consequence of the information
impaired by Glarner, the date will have
to be changed for the local practices,
and Manager Henry has set Thursday,
Friday and Saturday, April 20, "a and
25, as the next best tineN This will all
low a weeks preparation afterward
before the winners will have TO leave
for San Francisco. The so, 100, 220 and
440 yard races will be run off the first
two nights. leaving the long distance
event for the last night.
Both the prelimlnaries and tryouts
here will be held in the Bimini baths,
and the management of the baths has
promised to give az part of the gate
receipts to help pay the expenses OF
the successful candidates who will take
part in the finals.
Glarner inpartially stated that the
Los Angeles swimmers would have
excellent chances at the foreign trip,
Los Angeles herald., 1908-03-03

as there are very few eligible antago-
nists for them in the Bay City. How
ever, he also said that the San Fran
ciscan finsters would try their best to
keep all the honors at home.
The most promising short distance
men the Southern California candidates
will have to beat are Bromley of the
Webster Athletic club and Scott Leary
of the Olympic club. Both of these
swimmers have defeated each other,
but Leary is considered the fastest and
most consistent performer, as he is
veteran and Bromley is high school
boy. Watkins will do the defending OF
the $50 for the northern crew, and
should be formidable opponent for
either Watlington or Kyle. Warrington
beat him two years ago, but the defeat
would not necessarily stand against
Watkins at this late date.
Wilbur Kyle, the San Diego swim
mer, has written Les Henry to the ef-
feet that he will be here for all the pre-
liminaries and will certainly show that
his recent poor performance here was
no sample of his ability. Kyle will
have a hard row to hoe probably, as
the majority of the local authorities
are wont to treat him with indifference
since his miserable showing in the last
tournament.

Local Diamond Artists Nearly All
Here and VIII Play First
Game with White Sex
Wednesday

Hen Berry's cluck has been an
swered by nearly every one of his
chicks, and yesterday what was almost
full lineup greeted him when he
looked the Angels over at the Chutes.
The opening practice of the season was
attended by everyone but Bernard,
Smith and Eager, and these all had
good excuses to offer for not being
among those present.
who'll bet to / we don't win the
pennant?" said Hen, after he had sized
up the material which will form the
local team for the season of 1908. AS
catchers, Hogan, Eagar and Easterly
will be there to receive from Gray,
Randolph, Hosp, Nagle and the two
newcomers, KoeStner and Thornton,
and in the infield will be found Dillon,
Brashear, Delmas and Smith. Jud has
not shown up yet, but VIII be on hand
Wednesday, when the opening practice
with the White Sox begins.
In the outfield Rube Ellis and Oaks,
the new man, cavorted yesterday, and
they will be Joined this week by Ber-
nard and Coleman. The latter is fast
amateur who will get chance to make
good, and he came to Hen yesterday in
order to receive instructions.
Bobby Eager will be here on the 4th
of the month. According to Hen, Eager
has not signed any of the numerous
contracts he is credited with having
put his Jawn Hennery to, and will play
with the Angels as of yore.
The practice yesterday was rather
light, the men being content with
little fielding and batting. They are
still stiff from the four months rest,
but will round-to in no time and
promise to play in better shape than
ever. Practice this morning will be Of
the hard kind, which shows what the
individuals can do with the sphere and
club, and will begin at 10 O'Clock.
The White Sox will arrive tomorrow
night, and Wednesday morning both
teams will amble around the Chutes lot
getting used to the diamond. The OPEN
ing game with the visitors comes off on
Friday, and Berry Is confident that his
pets will give the visitors all that is
coming to them.
And perhaps the banquet will be held

of Harris character.

NEIGHBCRHOOD ROW
REACHES 3UPERI0R COURT
Fuss That Started Over Locking
Chicken Coop Door Expected to
Last Through Future
Years

The militant atmosphere of Watts
and surrounding territory was yester-
day transferred to department one of
Mrs. Martha Stephens, charged with
assaulting George Harris with a
deadly weapon, was begun.
The deadly weapon was not in evil
dence, and perhaps it was all for the
best, for remarks were made that
would naturally be followed by the use
of missiles and the unseemly disturb
ance of the decorum Of any we'll Or
dered court.
Spectators from Latin, "just east of
Watts" and from Watts itself filled
the chairs in the court room and in
terest was so intense that some of the
women even brought their babies. The
trouble took place November and may
end years hence.
Harris told his story with an en-
ergy indicating a hope for something
more than the upholding of the law.
He reached his home, he said, after
midnight and was on his way to lock
the chicken coop door when his wife,
in voice out of all keeping with the
stiffness of the night, suggested that
he nail the opening, at the same time
making q remark not at all to the lik-
ing of Stephens, whose home is located
on an adjoining lot.
Places Foot on Lot
Stephens, he says, came out and
asked for an explanation, at the same
time placing one foot upon Harris
property. He refused to remove the
offending member upon request,
couched in language more energetic
than elegant, and as the two men
were assuming a more belligerent atti-
tude they were interrupted by the
voice OF Mrs. stephens, who cried to
her husband to Leave him to me,
Gene: I'll fix him so he will never
speak another word"
Then it was, according to Harris,
that the deadly weapon struck him and
he was later carried into the house by
his wife. The latter upheld her hus-
band in his statements, beginning her
testimony with the declaration that
she lived at Watts delivered in such
a. manner that there were few if any
doubtful persons in the court room.
II live in Watts. Do you want me to
tell you all that over again?" she de-
manded of the attorney cross-examin-
ing her stephens had half his foot

Assessors Ed Hopkins for the county
and Walter Mallard for the city start
ed their combined force of 125 depu-

Poll tax of 81 is now due from every
male in the state over 21 and under So,

Though the assessors admit that
many unjust assessments have been

properties having been assessed too
high and perhaps just as many too
low. Errors will be corrected as far
as possible.

OCCIDENTAL FACULTY
DEFEATED BY SENIORS
INSTRUCTORS UNABLE TO TEACH
STUDENTS ON DIAMOND
Numerous Other Attractions Add In
terest and Humorous Phase to
Program of Gala Day
on Campus

Beyond a doubt the Occidental col
lege faculty possesses great talent for
instructing in certain branches, but tbs
senior class demonstrated to them that
they have much to learn about base
ball by defeating the mental magicians
yesterday afternoon by a score OF IL
to 4.
However, the walloping the peda-
gogues were handed did not put in an
appearance until the fifth inning, and
during the first half of the game they
looked to have more than an even
chance with the degree seekers.
President Baer gave the game a good
start by dishing up the first puzzle
which the opposing batsman was not
able to come within block or hitting,
possibly for the reason that the slant
was not within the radius of block
close to him. Bruce Merrill proved toe
uncertain for the faculty to depend
upon for any safe slams, but Prof.
Moore was repeatedly found for sim
giles, doubles and triples by the upper
classmen.
prof. Handley and Coach Goheen
were clearly the stars of the instructor
nine and distinguished themselves sew
eral times by sensational work. Sew
eral OF the seniors also performed cred
itably. and their end of the show was
brilliant with batting climaxes and
fielding wonders.
Before the game an extravagant
extravaganza of extra extravagant
stunts under the head of "a college
circus was rendered by numerous
comedy performers of the institution
The parade" of the Owl and Ape
fraternities was conducted in all Its
splendor over the principal streets IN
the neighborhood and on the college
campus.
Jeffrey Morgan of minstrel and clown
fame lead the procession with mas
ouerade band and clown baseball team
Fred Thomson and Arthur Collins per-
formed hazardous strong man feats
with weighty toy balloons and various
other features kept the spectators IN an
uproar of laughter.

JUSTICE WINS SUIT
AGAINST THE COUNTY
Claim for $2se.se for Rent Made by
official Is Upheld When
Case Comes to
Trial

A decision was rendered yesterday
by Justice Stephens awarding Justice
Pierce $299.99 in his suit against the
county for rent.
Before justices were placed on a
salary basis Justice Pierce had a lease
on the building used as court for
$50 a month, and charged the county
$75
When the salary basis was estab-
lished the county refused to pay more
than $50, but the justice in 'instituting
his suit contended that the payment
of the SIS in the past amounted to an
implied contract and that the $15 extra
should be paid.
Justice Stephens agreed with Justice
Pierce in his contention.

that the low ranked men were easily the
superior players on their respective sides
of the net.
On his side Palmer, who first came into
prominence last season by defeating Karl
Behr. the internationaiist at Newport,
more than held his own. and his back

to bear the brunt of attack on his side
AT the end he was playing better game
