If anything had been needed to make

enthusiasts the series between the New
York and Chicago National league
teams on the polo grounds, yesterdays 8
happenings on the baseball diamond
supplied 1t. New York again was
obliged to lower her colors to Pitts
burg in a close game and Chicago won
both ends of a double header in Phila-
delphia. The present leaders lost a
great part of the advantage they had
gained by their recent string of sue
cessive victories.
This morning the New Yorks have a
lead of only twenty points over Chiea-
go. Four games probably will be
played by these two clubs in the pres
ent series, and by winning them all
Chicago would assume the lead in the
National league race. An even break
or even the winning of one game out
of four, however, would still leave the
present leaders in first place. In
the meantime, Pittsburg, twenty
seven points behind, will be playing
Brooklyn. and not inconceivably may
gain substantially on one or both of

LAUDER AGREES
TO BOX WELSH
WINNER OF FRIDAYS SCRAP
GETS MATCH
McCAREY ANNOUNCES 1T WlEL
BE STAGED OCT. 16
Local Lightweight and Kid Trendall
Have Given Consent to Arrange
ment Proposed by Promoter.
Mike Dalton Is Injured

Leonard Lauder yesterday notified
Manager McCarey that he is agreeable
to the plans for matching the winner
OF the Lauder Trendall scrap Friday
night with Freddie Welsh, the English
champion, and this ends all doubts re-
garding this match, as Trendau pre-
viously had accepted.
LADDERS acceptance indicates the de-
gree of confidence which the unbeaten
local lightweight has in his ability to
get to the top of the heap. With a
record that shows no defeat and re-
markably few draws, despite that he
has fought everybody put in front of
him, the boy is entitled to serious con-
sideration as a lightweight of good
class and great promise, and because
of his cleverness, speed and wallop, he
will make worthy opponent for Welsh
If he defeats Trendall.
With this match as good as made,
both boys have settled down to the
hardest sort of work for the remain
ing days of their training period and
both are training for condition in the
expectation of a grueling battle. A
match with Welsh means good money
and neither of these boys has had an
extraordinary good match in the local
ring. Trendall fought Lauder to an
unsatisfactory twenty-round draw at
San Pedro recently and this will be
return match, in which personal sat
isfaction will be big factor in the de-
termined fight each will put up.
Manager McCarey announced last
night that he would put the match
between Welsh and the winner of the
Lauder-Trendall scrap on his docket
for October 16 and that 1t will be staged
at popular prices in line with his pres
ent plans.
Mike Dalton found new way to get
out of a fight gracefully4 His foot
strayed under a wagon wheel and was
run over, so he has to quit training,
and Earl Sain, the towheaded kid that
has fought so many good battles in
the local ring in the past, was SUBJ
stituted. Bubbles Robinson will be
his opponent. Sain always keeps in
training and says he will not be handi-
capped by reason of such short notice.
He worked yesterday afternoon at the
pavilion and afterward weighed 1873
pounds, so he will have no difficulty
whatever in making the required 131
pounds,

The banquet is a result of Mayhew's

of the success of the car was due to the

to Newhall grade to watch the automo~

held last Sunday. After the race they
went to Wadleighs ranch at Calabasas
and within two hours they had "accu-
mulated" about 100 doves.
John Dinwoodie returned yesterday
from Mount Baldy, where he has been
since Friday hunting deer. He did not
have very good luck on the trip and
was unable to procure carcass.
Numerous complaints are being made
by local anglers regarding the Italian
fishermen around Playa del Rey and
Redondo. The anglers claim that the
Italians are violating the law in pulling
in their seines each morning within a
few feet of Pecks wharf at Playa del
Rey. The law Is to the effect that no
nets or seines of any kind shall be
pulled in within 200 yards of any wharf.
1t is claimed that the nets are being
pulled in with the early morning tides.
In all probability the authorities will
keep a sharp lookout for the malefac-
tors and If possible bring them to JUS
tice.

SHOOT DOVES
BY MOONLIGHT
GEORGE CLINE SPRINGS NEW
STORY
Asserts That Himself and Friends
Had Pleasing Experience After
Dusk Sunday Evening
Near Acton

George Cline is responsible for the
statement that "anybody with half an
eve can procure the limit of doves on
any moonlight night in the vicinity OF
Acton, Soledad canyon" He was one
of a party that acted as Judges of the
course in the automobile race to Mount
Baldy last Sunday. After the race
they went to Acton, intending to arrive
there early in the afternoon in time to
do some dove shooting. Instead tney
got to the shooting grounds after dark,
and. according to the illustr1ous
in shooting from twenty to twenty-four
doves apiece. He said there were thou
sands of the doves in that locality.
George Cline attributed the twilight
hunt to the fact that they were on an
exceedingly high bluff and that the sun
disappears early and quickly. The
doves feed in the lowlands and do not
arrive at their nesting places until after
dark. Roy Garland, one OF the mem
bers of the party, was mistaken by
George Cline for one Of the feathery
creatures. The latter saw something
moving indistinctly above one of the
bushes and fred at 1t. The report was
greeted with a howl of pain from Gar
land. and the next ten minutes were

Garland's arm. In the party were
Louie Denker of the Paris Automobile
company, C. Nelson of the Diamond
Rubber company, A. t. Jergens or the
A. T. Jergens company and George
cline. Nelson shot the limit, and others
of the party shot near the limit, but
were unable to find the birds because OF
the darkness.
Leslie Henry of the Dyas-Cline sport
ing goods house, accompanied by Roy
Ward. passed Sunday at Covina, where
they succeeded in shooting six rabbits
and twelve doves. Les reports good
dove hunting in the vicinity OF Covina.
wfneville received it's share of rabbit
hunters Sunday, when party OF local
hunters, consisting of George Friese:
Prank Orth, August Pfirrmann and
Henry Pfirrman, lowered the rabbit
population by forty members. All the
