IN TOURIST TOUR
THIRTY-FIVE CARS READY FOR
LONG RUN
J. s. conwell Says Others VIII Not
Be Refused, but Hints That
There May Be Limit.
Auto Notes
BY FREpERIC PABsT

Entries have been coming in so fast
for the first annual tour OF the TOUR
lists from Los Angeles to San Francisco
and return that the Auto Venice COM
pany has stopped soliciting cars Ior ehe
long run.
I'VE have been agreeably surprised
with the interest taken in our tour,
said J. S. Conwell, general manager or
the company, yesterday. Up TO to-
dav we have received thirty-five en-
tries. which are practically certain 10
start in the run. This assures the tour
being the greatest event OF the klnd IN
the country, with the one eAceptioh VI
the Glidden tour.
1--WE do not solicit any more entries.
This. of course, does not mean that
no more entries will be accepted. we
will take care of others who desire to
take part, but we already have suffi-
cient to make the tour grand sue
cess and will now take things as they
come until the day of the start.
There is a possibility that the limit
will he placed near the sixty mark,
and owners of Tourists who intend go
ing should get their entries in at once.
This will be a representative South
ern california turnout, with cars from
Los Angeles, Pasadena, Azusa, Covina,
Alhambra, San Diego, San Bernardino,
santa Ana and Riverside. All the out
0t-IOWn cHIliSS nave AOh pSSAA SN~A'o~A
and when these arrive the total may
reach the fifty mark by next Saturday.
The tour Is scheduled to start from
here August 70. The night stops will
he bakersfield, Fresno, San Jose and
san Francisco. After a couple of days
in San Francisco the tour will be to
Los Angeles over the coast road, with
a DAVIS layover at Del Monte and night
stops at Paso Robles and Santa Bar
bara. This will, make one of the most
complete tours Of the state and those
who go in the large party will have
more pleasure out of the tour than in
making 1t alone, and 1t will also be
much cheaper in many respects.
Leon T. Shelter will leave Thursday
morning in a Kissel Kar to look over
the course of the Kissel Kar-White
race from Los Angeles to North Baldy.
He will be accompanied by Bert
Latham, who will drive part of the
race. Harris Hansue will be Mr.. Shet-
tiers other driver.
f. G. Fenner announced yesterday
that he would use three drivers, H. ID.
Ryus, Billy Simmons and Fenner him
self. They will change at Palmdale
and Old Point Comfort.
r. c. Fenner returned from San
Diego yesterday where he established
a White garage branch. 1t is situated
at Tenth and H streets and viii be In
charge of Earl Phiefer.

The RinItO

a few youngsters how to chase fly
balls Sunday. He grabbed an old bat
that had been on the shelf since Van
Haltren and Dillon were boys and
went onto a vacant lot Sunday after
noon to knock up flies for some kids.
The bat was filled with tacks, driven
into leather hold onto the handle,
and these tacks gradually wore blis-
ters onto both hands until he hardly
can close either hand. In about q
week, probably, he will be sufficiently
recovered to clap his hands little bit
when the Angels win, but not earlier.
Bob Lacey came up from Venice a.
few days ago and drlfted into Jeffries'
place, where he began to talk about
three-cushion billiards. He thought
so well of his game, evidently, that
he aroused the sporting blood in the
veins Of the champion at that style
of play Everybody knows who is the
champion, and his challenge was
called In three games Bob "fuked"
out one victory, aided by numerous
scratches, but could not make the
champion get up sweat in the other
two games. Then he said he was out
of form and had not played in such
a long time that he could not put up
his real game. He went back to Ven
ice to get into practice, promising to
return this week and mop up with the
champion. Hen Berry and DR.. r. B.
Griffith also went up against this
same champ and with the same result.
This is our Hens birthday. He will
not tell his age and none of his rel
atives care to cross him by "peaching"
on him. He looks to be about 43 years
old, but says that If he lives to be
that old he will be willing to die, In
sinuating, of course, that he is much
younger. OF course, his ways are rath-
er childlike and he is one of the boys
in every sense of the word, but IL he
ever sees another 43rd birthday, Oak.
land will win the pennant in the Coast
league this season without doubt.
Congratulations are in order and his
friends started the celebration night
before last. At the rate he is going
now it is to be hoped he will live to
LAB years old, at least. He lily can be
spared from this community.
Press reports of the Cyclone Thomp-
son-Kid Dalton scrap are just begin
ming to appear on the streets. 1t seems
that the Streator boy, homely as he
is and as unfortunate as he has been
in his local fights, really must be COM
mended for his sticktoitiveness, the
same article of faith in himself that
made Battling Nelson the champion
of the world and despite that Thomp-
son never could find favor in the eyes
of the local fans, because he has not
been fortunate enough to fight here as
he has fought elsewhere, he must be
admired for his gameness and winning
qualities. Undoubtedly he is the
homeliest specimen of humanity ever
seen in a prize ring, but that does
not alter the fact that he is about as
tough a piece of fighting meat that
any scrapper ever tried to chaw.
Hooray for the human tornado!

ANGELS HAVE
WINNING WAYS
SIMPLY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO
LOSE A GAME
BEAT COMMUTERS IN FIRST OF
HOME SERIES
Hosp TwIrIs In Excellent Form, Hold
Ing Oakland 6atters Safe at All
Times, Although Visitors Are
Beaten Only by One Run
COAST LEAGUE STANDING
AneeIs 8, Oakland 2

Angels 3, Oakland
Just because they have acquired the
winning habit, the Angels went out
and annexed the opening game of the
series with Oakland yesterday, but
sympathy for the cellar champs kept
the score down and the league leaders
only won by the margin of one run In
a to score. Hosp was tossing 'em
over for the Angels and the former San
Diego star never was in much trouble,
only six safeties being recorded against
his mystifying efforts. Here is the way
the runs were made on both sides:
The Commuters started out in a busi-
nesslike manner, getting one run over
the pan in the first inning. Van
Haltren, about the only one on the
Oakland lineup that can be depended
upon for hit in an emergency, singled
infield and was sacrificed to second.
Heitmuller fractured the atmosphere
three times and squatted on the visit
ing players bench. Rip Van Wrinkle
Egan singled to right with such ferocity
that Grandfather Van Ha1tren was en-
abled to reach the registering station
in absolute safety. Then Willie Hogan
famed.
Another run, and the last one for tho
visitors, was scored in the sixth inning
on a succession Of clean hitting. Egan
was given a life on Delmas' too en-
thusiastic throw to first Hosp and
Bernard conspired to retire Hogan and
succeeded Then Bernard and Dillon
proved too many for Miller, who died
en- route to first. Altman put the ball
in left for one base, Egan getting in
such a way of running that he could
not stop until he had crossed the home
bag. -Slattery flew to Brashear.
After the Commuters had scored one
run in the first inning the Angels con-
cluded to begin business, and in the
second inning they piled up a brace of
tailies, Just enough to put them ahead
Of the hounds. Ellis tripled to center
and Judge Nagle could not overlook
the opportunity to score a tieing run,
so he smashed the spheroid on the nose
and 1t did not touch ground until the
Judge was on second base and Ellis
was tanning himself on the Angel
bench. Dillon sacrificed and Easterly
put the ball into center deep enough
for Nagle to beat it home. Hosp forced
Easterly, Bernard was passed and
Cakes flew to Granddad out in center.
When the visitors tied the score in
the sixth Cap Dillon counseled with his
"aggigashun," and in the ninth, when
IL appeared that it was UP to the
Angels either to win or play extra in
nings the champs put over the winning
run. Hosp went out, Hogan to Egan.
Bernard singled infield, Oakes sacrificed
him a base and Dillon hit such a
puzzler to Miller at short that Bernard
scored while the shortstop was trying
to coax the ball to lie still SO he could
pick 1t up. This broke up the game.
The official tabulated score and sum-
mary is as follows:
Los Angeles herald., 1908-08-05

TIM MORLEY, who probably knows
as much about baseball as Russell
- Sage ever knew about the art of
making money, has returned from the
north. where he went to attend the
Ketchell- Kelly scrap. Jim says that
at no time has he been an applicant or
seeker for the job OF manager of the
new Coast league club in the south
and urges his friends not to unduly
excite themselves in that regard. 1t Is
known to be a fact, however, that his
friends who are to be interested In the
new club would be tickled nightly IL
Jim could be induced to get back in
the game, even If the one-man boss OF
the league would not stand for 1t. De-
spite all that can be said regarding his
action In refusing to go broke on los
ing proposition, he is keen business
man, a thoroughbred sportsman and
good fellow at all stages of the game.
So, there.
Tommy Burns will be due in Aus
tralia in a few days, where he will pro-
ceed to scrape another financial platter
clean. In a letter mailed from Rome,
Tommy says he win train aboard ship
and his friends IN Los Angeles need not
worry about his condition when he
goes into the Antipo3ean ring the first
time. Just leave that to Tommy, he
says. You know 1 am too careful to
be caught out OF condition or to fight
unless l am able to do myself justice.
I'll bring back a few more medals and
have a few more dimes for my bank
account when / return, as well as hav-
ing cinehed my claims upon the title.
Give my regards to Spring street and
tell the doubling ones to cage Johnson
and hold him until get back. ! don't
want this mess of gravy spilled before
1 return" Tommy is not alone In his
opinion that johnson will be the
gravy any time he gets the big yell
low streak in the ring.
1t may not be generally known, but
Hen Berry now is president of the Coast
league. He Is the big 1T in baseball
circles on the coast By virtue OF the
position of vice president he became
president when j. Cal Ewing left the
state a few days ago. AS such, he will
not only be his own representative at
the meeting of the subscribers to stock
In the new Coast league club in the
south tomorrow night, but he also viii
be the official representative of the
league at the meeting, and when he
gets up on the floor to talk he must be
listened to most respectfully and atten-
lively. At that meeting Hen will tell
the newly-made baseball magnates OF
their rights and duties and the extent
of the privilege of being a member Of
the Coast league. He will assist in the
organization Of the association, give
them the secret work, including the
pass word. and then hand them the
franchise that has been granted by the
league. Thus, for a short time at
least, Hen will be promoted from the
estate of a magnate to that of a mogul.
And, of course, he is big enough to fit
into the Job.

By Jay Davidson

resentative of Barney Schreiber in all
turf affairs, will arrive in New York
from England in a few days and Will
come to Los Angeles in short time to
assist in making up the stakebook for
the next winter season at Santa Anita,
When he comes he will have definite
instructions regarding the number and
value of all the winter offerings and
will be in a position to speak officially.
He will confer with Schreiber, Rose and
Holland in New York, and as this trio
controls affairs In the racing associa-
tion his instructions will be official.
Entries probably will open next month
and close about November l. Although
not official In formal sense, the OPEN
ing day will be chosen before the
stakebook is made up, as the dates for
running the blue ribbon events must
be set.
Harry Burt is planning a short vaca-
tion. He intends shipping his auto TO
San Francisco about September l, take
in the Nelson-Gans scrap and then
return home in his car Mrs. Burt and
possibly one or two friends will ac-
company him. The up trip will be
made by boat and Harry expects to
be gone a week or two. Few persons
will believe that he is entitled to
vacation, as about all he does these
days is to look wise, rake in the shek-
els and go hunting and fishing, vary
ing this routine with about fifteen big
black cigars every day.
Yer Uncle Tom McCarey is back in
town and alternates his presence from
First and Spring to Fifth and Broad
way the same old two times a day.
He says he enjoyed his trip to Frisco
and assures his friends that he did not
go bankrupt in his enthusiasm regard
ing Kelly's chances of winning a
championship. Judging by the hearty
laugh that accompanies this statement
he probably had a chunk down ex-
actly the other way. He is wise
young owl, a shrewd judge OF fighter,
never risks a dime on a fight until he
sees his man ready for the scrap and
can come as near to handicapping
btatle as any race horse fiend can
handicap a field of horses. 1t Is a
safe bet that his expenses on the trip
were exceedingly light when net re-
suits are considered.
Cad Doggett, the smallest big book
maker that ever strutted about a local
race course, has dived deeper into the
turf game recently, picking up few
dandy racers that he will bring to Los
Angeles next winter. He has picked
up two good ones recently and intends
to add to the string until he has a
bunch that he can depend upon to
win the pasteboards back over the
Rockies next spring. Doggett is well
known and highly esteemed by the
regulars and he will find a happy well

SYNOPSIS.

CHAPTER Lord Wilfred Vincent
and Archibald Terhune are introduced at
the opening of the story in England, the
latter relating the tale. The pair on an
outing miss their train and seeking rec
reafion meet the Honorable Aga .ha
Wyckhon," whose hand is much sou Sht
after. because OF her wealth. On visiting
the Wyckhon castle they are introdu ced
TO two other girls, both known Agatha
%yckhoff.
CHAPTER u.-At dinner three other
Agatha Wyckhoffs are introduced and
the plot revealed. The deceased step
father in eccentric moment made his
will so that the real Agatha, heiress to
his fortune and the castle at Wye Eng
land. might wed her affinity. Thus Mrs
Armistead, chaperon, was in duty bound
to keep the real Agatha's identity un-
known and suitors were invited to try
out for the hand 81 the heiress. An at
tempt by TerhunO to gather clew from
sths chaperon fails.
CHAPTER III.-Terhune finds old books
containing picture of former Baroness
Wyckhoff. which is exactly like Agatha
Sixth. whom he is counting. Vincent en-
tertains them all and while riding with
Agatha Fifth she confesses her love for
him and also that Sc IS the real heir
sss. He spurns her proposal
