arrange for park and attend to other
important preliminary business.
Since going back home Ewing has
given repeated evidences OF his bad
faith in the premises. Not once has he
been heard to reiterate his promise of
continuous baseball down this way. He
has hinted in roundabout ways that
such a thing might transpire, but that
1t was no certainty. These little side
talks by Ewing did not cause any seri-
Gus mental disturbance down here until
McCredie began to pop off. Then, when
Ewing began to join In the McCredie
chorus, half-heartedly at first, but en-
Enthusiastically afterward, the fans be-
gan to wake up to the fact that they
had been "bunked" again by the league
president.
Berry Probably Suspected Result
Berry must have smelled the mouse.
He was impatient to get away for the
north, going earlier than he had
planned. He went away hopeful, how
ever, that all would come out well, and
in his usually optimistic frame of mind
kept insisting that the fans would have
q chance to support continuous base
ball next year. There is nothing of the
bunk nature In Hens makeup and
he never has been other than wholly on
the level. SO the fans gnash their
teeth in thir own rage and sympathize
with Berry as they sympathize with
themselves in the mutual misfortune.
The action of the magnates, as
vouched for by the San Francisco in
formant, serves to bear out the sus-
picion heretofore expressed that the
Coast league is syndicate organiza-
tion and that the local fans, as well as
those in San Francisco, Oakland and
Portland, have been supporting syndi-
cate baseball in the interests of the
syndicate, and not that Of the irfdivi-
dual clubs. The throwdown for Berry
indicates that Los Angeles is the only
team in the league that is not syndi-
Gated
That the information given herein
is entitled to credence Is borne out
further in the fact that Ewing has said
that the proposed meeting of the Coast
league directors, to decide upon the |
fate of continuous baseball In the south, |
must be postponed until late in October |
and probably until the date of the an
nual meeting in Portland in December |
The official announcement that Los
Angeles cannot have continuous base
ball probably is being withheld until |
after the season is finished, the mag
mates undoubtedly knowing what fate |
would await the teams that play here |

RAMBLER BREAKS
SAN DIEGO MARK
L. B. HARVEY DRIVES ROUND
TRIP IN 1881
Cuts Fifty-seven Minutes Off tn,
320-Mile Trip and Gets the
Chanslor and Lyon
Cup
BY FREDERIC pABsT

| A Rambler roadster, driven by L. B
Harvey of San Francisco, cut fifty
seven minutes off the San Diego to Los
Angeles and return record yesterday
the round trip being negotiated in elev-
en- hours and thirty-one minutes. The
former record of 1928 was made by a
Great Smith. The Rambler now gets
the Chanslor and Lyon cup, which is
perpetual trophy for the holder of
this record.
The up trip was made over the inland
road and the return over the coast.
The roads were not found in any too
good condition, but by skillful driving
and making speed over the best
stretches Harvey was able to go into
San Diego with plenty of time to spare.
The car pulled out of San Diego at
6: 10 yesterday morning. The road was
comparatively free from travel at this
hour, and with a fair highway to Es-
condido the car hit up a fast clip and
was out of Escondido and on it's way
to Bonsal in a few minutes over an
hour. 1t required the best of driving
to keep up a high rate of speed over
the Red mountain grade, and Harvey
furnished the required skill and nerve.
Temecula was but blot on the land
scape as the car shot by, over the
stretch of rolling country to Elsinore.
With the down grade out of Elsinore
the car burned up the road despite
many rough places. Near Corona it
was necessary to slow up on account of
the road. but once beyond Pomona
Harvey opened the throttle again and
dashed into Los Angeles at 1912,
smashing big hole in the inland rec
ord for 180 miles. Six hours and two
minutes is very good mark for this
trip, and will be hard to beat. 1t means
averaging thirty miles an hour over a
road of hills.
The delay here was short. In eight
minutes gasoline and oil were taken
aboard and a aasty investigation made
to determine the condition of the car.
Everything was found in f1rst-class
shape, and with a shout the crew
dashed away at 1920 on the last leg of
the run. They had over six hours to
make the lao miles, and before half of
that distance was covered 1t became
that the record would be beat
en- If nothing went wrong. Good time
was made down the coast, and as the
goal came nearer and nearer Harvey
began saving the car and took the last
thirty miles at an easy pace.
A crowd greeted the car at the f1n-
ish of the run In San Diego.

SOPHOMORES WIN IN
GAME WITH FRESHIES
Local Football Season Started Of
Yesterday with U. S. C. Teams
Playing to Score on
- Bovard Field

Although the u. s. G. freshies were
defeated yesterday afternoon by the
sophs. in the first game of college foot
ball of the Southern California sea-
son they proved beyond doubt that
they are the masters of their more
learned opponents. They not only out
played their rivals in team work, but
put up a more spectacular game. The
contest was pulled off at Bovard field
and was witnessed by the entire soph-
omore and freshman class.
The score of the game was to o.
An unlucky tumble on the part of one
of the freshies gave the sophs the ball
on the latter's five-yard line and it was
only matter of minutes before the
ball was over the line.
Last night the members of the fresh
man football team were the guests Of
the co-eds at a banquet at the cafe
terIa of the college. A general good
time prevailed and the girls assured
the boys that they enjoyed the game,
even though it resulted in defeat.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-09-24

It is useless for Los Angeles baseball
fans to hope further for continuous
baseball in Los Angeles. as no such
good fortune is IN store for them. This
information may be regarded as official
as 1t comes from official sources In San
francisco, the informant requesting
only that his name be withheld for the
present at least. This information, In
substance, is as follows:
The Coast league magnates already
have arrived at an agreement that Los
Angeles cannot have continuous base
ball unless Portland is favored in the
same way. Owing to the fact that the
rainy season extends into May and part
of June in that country early games
would be impossible unless the league
season is cut to about twenty weeks,
which reduces the playing period one
third. This being true, nobody will
finance a team on a continuous base
ball schedule in that city or In a nearby
city that otherwise might be admitted.
With McCredie unwilling to undertake
the financing of second team in Port
land or another city nearby, Portland
will not have continuous baseball, and,
in fact, there Is no demand for 1t there
and the fans would not support it.
Therefore the agreement that Los An
geles cannot have continuous baseball
unless Portland is similarly favored
means that there will be no continuous
baseball In the south. 1t also means
that the Coast league magnates are
acting in bad faith with Hen Berry, as
this agreement is a short cut around
the continuous baseball proposition,
whereby it is killed without debate.
ThroWdown Is Deliberate
1t is deliberate throwndown for
Berry and the southern baseball fans
who support Coast league baseball. Cal
Ewing is the man who must be charged
with this throwdown, as, had he kept
faith with Berry and the southern fans
and not violated his pledge made when
here, continuous baseball would have
been assured. After four-flushing
around Los Angeles for two or three
weeks. insisting upon being shown" by
the 5portsmen who desired the new
franchise, Ewing got on the train bound
for home with picture of the money
that had been deposited to guarantee
the finances of the new club through
next season and with an outstanding
promise that he Immediately would call
an extra session of the league direc-
tors for the purpose of awarding the
franchise, so the new club could begin
to sign players for next season and

Carver, a former half back of Occi-
