EXPERTS
FOR BIG PURSE
THEIR SKILL FOR $500
ON A SIDE
Latter Leads with 1o5 Points Advan-
tage In Two of the Events to De-
eide Question of Supremacy
at the Sport

A shooting match that is attracting
great interest in Southern California
shooting circles Is that which is being
pulled off between two of the best shots
in the west. They are Capt. Freeman
of the Southern California rangers, con-
sidered one of the best revolver shots
in the country and an excellent marks
man with the rifle, and Joseph Singer,
with the Dyas-Cline sporting goods
house.
The match is being shot off for some
thing more than practice, as each man
has placed $500 with responsible party
who will pay the money over to the
one making the most points. The agree
ment which was drawn up and signed
by Singer and Freeman, and attested
by two responsible witnesses, is as fol-
lows:
I'VE, the undersigned, hereby agree
to shoot a match under the following
conditions, for $500 a side: % shots at
German ring target at 200 yards range;
90 shots revolver, military, at so yards;
rs shots, military rifle and target, at
200 and 500 yards; SO shots, bluerockss,,
at unknown angles and three traps; 25
shots, bluerocks, at known angles and
five traps; rs shots, glass balls in air,
with rifle and ball; rs shots, pairs in
air, with rifle and ball. The total points
made in all to count as a score to de-
eide the match, Col. G. l.. Lenone to be
referee" Signed by Archie Freeman
and Joseph Singer. Witnesses: M. H.
Robinson and J. Lorry.
The twenty-five shots at the German
ring target already have been shot off,
and Singer won the event with sur
plus of 101 points. The fifty shots with
the military revolvers also has been
shot off and was won by Singer. The
result of this latter event was a great
surprise to all of Freeman's friends, as
Freeman was considered almost In
vincible at this style of shooting. Sing
eTs lead in this event was four points,
making a total of los points with
which he leads.
The match is delayed until the arrival
Of the new military Krag rifle, which
recently was introduced into the army,
as one of the events calls for mill
tary rifles" When these arrive it is
expected that the match will be fin
ished in about two days from the time
the shooting starts. Capt. Freeman at
present Is at San Francisco, where, 1t
Is rumored, he is putting in some stren-
uous hours practicing with rifle and
revolver

GOAT
STRAYED AWAY
VENICE COP is CHARGED WITH
GETTING 1T
Officer Connolly Helps In Success of
Scheme by Pretending to Arrest
Thunderbolt for Violating
Speed Ordinance

Billy Papke had one put over on
him last night that would make nine
out of every ten men sore, but the
boy who will try to wrest Stanley
Ketchells championship honors away
from him on Labor day never turned
a hair.
Along toward the end of the after
noon, when all through with his daily
grind in the Venice ring, Papke was
called on to pose for some pictures.
An automobile was secured for him
and the Illinois thunderbolt immedi-
ately began to show the natives how
to handle a car. He pulled off few
fancy tricks with the wheel and then
started off on a long run along the
speedway.
Tom Jones, Papke's manager, had a
bunch on Billy's intentions and i'm
mediately hunted up Officer Connolly
of the Venice police force. IF that
fellow starts to speed, pinch him."
said Jones.
"All right" said Connolly, and the
big show was on.
Papke took the auto down the street
a block or two and then came back
like a Barney Oldfeld. Just around
the corner Connolly was waiting for
him, and before he knew it Billy was
under arrest. 'T guess you're bad
hombre," said the cop, 80 just to
Al
YOU" and. suiting the action to the
word Connolly pulled out pair of
handouts and slipped them over
Papke's wrists
That was pretty near the end of
the story, for just then Connolly stalled
that he heard a scrap up the street
and left Papke in charge of a fellow
officer The minutes wore on, but no
Connolly returned to relieve Billy's
chatting wrists, and 1t was not until
after o'clock at night that he finally
was released.
Papl1es workout at the Venice am
phitheater was attended by a large
crowd of interested fight fans and they
were treated to a display of the SUI
perior knowledge the Illinois Thunder
bolt possesses of the mitt game. BlllS
boxed with Jack Wade, Jim Tremble
and Hugh Martin, and despite the fact
that he tried to be careful, he wal
loped every one of them hard enough
to draw blood. Wade caught Papke
smash on the nose right at the start
of their bout and the returns were so
fierce that Billy's opponent quit be-
fore the opening period was over. Bill
Aldridge also worked with the crack
middleweight and, together with a
little bag punching, pulley work and
a spin on the road in the morning,
Papke's day was well spent.
Managers Jones and O'Connor are
talking OF having moving pictures made
of the fight and will decide within a
day or two. They have written to
Miles brothers in regard to the finan-
cial part Of it, and If this is satisfac-
tory the great middleweights will work
under the camera when they meet In
the Vernon, arena Labor day after
noon.

Navy Men Awarded Prizes In the

CAM PERRY, O., Aug. 27.-Sergt.
G. E. Orr of Ohio, who won the ma
tional pistol match late today, captured

The location of the team has not
been decided upon, and it will be some
time before this is done. Pasadena,
Venice, San Pedro, Long Beach and
Vernon are bidders and each city has
it's supporters in the club. The cham
Der of commerce and board Of trustees
of Long Beach want the team there,
and it is no secret that If these bodies
do what Is expected of them in guar
anteeing non-interference with Sunday
baseball, Long Beach will drag down
the plum. Otherwise San Pedro or
Pasadena will get it. Venice is not
considered now.
1t almost is safe bet that either
Long Beach, San Pedro or Vernon will
get the franchise Population consid-
cred, Long Beach will get it. San
Pedro is most friendly to the league
and it's citizens are striving to the ut
most to get the club for that city.
Vernon, however, is closer to Los An
geles than either and undoubtedly
would draw better crowds than any
of the cities named. Being in the
scent limit and practically within the
city of Los Angeles. Vernon will be
favored by local fans as against all

The action taken here yesterday is
good news to Sacramento. Ed Kripp,
who will finance the Sacramento team,
is ready to spend several thousand
dollars in financing the team in the
capital city and he much prefers
fight to peace with the outlaws. He
has secured a location for the baseball
orIr &c, NTH aoc llr3ncr die
lance of the downtown district and has
signified his intention of spending sew
eral thousand dollars in equipping it
and in placing a winning team in the
city. The outlaws will get little COM
fort from Kripp's talks. He has the
money, the nerve and is anxious to go
ahead.
With the new club assured in the
south Sacramento knows 1t will be in
the Coast league next season. The
league will have six clubs, sure, and
may have eight. If Seattle and Ia
coma want to come in they will be
allowed to do the Quitting in" act,
but they will not be persuaded. Six
clubs will make an ideal circuit, while
eight clubs will make a better one, but
the Coast league magnates are not
going to lose any sleep regarding the
possibility of Seattle and Tacoma COM
ing into the fold.
Continuous baseball is assured for
Los Angeles next season, and If the
fans will support the game 1t will be
assured for all time to come. There
never has been doubt in the minds of
Hen Berry and his friends that the
fans will support continuous baseball,
If the new team is TO be a factor in
The pennant race.
With everything settled in this end
of The state, and with Ed Kripp tickled
nigh unto death because such is the
case, there no longer should be any
6oubt regarding the prospects for con-
tiuuous baseball in this portion of the
state after this season. 1t is no little
satisfaction to the writer to brag that
the first demand ever made for continu-
Gus baseball in Los Angeles was writ
ten under his signature, and for more
than year this fight was waged sin
gle-handed and alone. Now that it is
to become a reality, the "knocker'' be-
comes booster, and the fruition of the
dream is at hand.
