NO TRANSFERS MONDAY
PARK LINE WON'T OBEY.
Tmns Dozen Commissi0n's Order and
WMhidge's Offer.

The Central Park, North & East River Rail
road Company informed the Public Service Com
mission yesterday in a curt reply to its order
t. restore transfers with the Third avenue lines
that it refused to obey. This refusal while
indirect was nevertheless refusal It also
turned down the offer of Frederick W. Whit
ridge receiver of the Third Avenue Railroad
Company. to exchange transfers on an each
con1pan keep-what -it-gets basis It's reply
to Mr.. Whitridge was turned over to the com
mission with the word that it was also the Cen
tral Park lines answer to the commissions
order.
In making his offer Mr. Whitridge made no
attempt to conceal his opinion that the transfer
arrangement. with the Metropolitan lines shut
out. might be an excellent business proposition
for his company. He did not pretend, either
that he was doing it in Difference to the COM
missions order. but said he would esteem it a
kindness if the commission would induce the
Central Park company to accept his offer.
The Central Park company decided that the
Whftridge proposition would notDbe So advan-
tageous for it as for the Third avenue company
Mr. whitridge. being in control OF two important
lines running north and south, would get a large
lions share of the fares, and the 59th street
conductors would take in lot of paper slips,
which could not be applied to paying the operat-
ing expenses of the road
The Central Park company as indicated In
the letters sent to the commission yesterday,
merely turned down both the Whitridge offer
and the order of the commission as a business
proposition. and did not as did Mr.. Whitridge,
challenge the right of the commission to order
Joint rates. which means practically the resto-
ration of transfers. 1t shows however, no par
ticular concern about complying with the order
of the commission, saying that its refusal to
accept Mr. Whitridge's offer was also reply
to the commissions order.
TIE testimony of Leo Bukers, a bookkeeper
for the Central Park company, before the COM
mission last Thursday, showed that the COM
pany. in the period from August . to Septem-
Der 30 inclusive, had very small margin in
gross receipts over operating expenses and
would have had a deficit if taxes and ether
charges had been considered.
Under the commissions order Mr. Whitrldge
and the Central Park company are required to
show cause at a hearing tomorrow morning
why a reasonable joint rate should not be made
Mr. Whitridge has denied the right Of the COM
mission to do this. 1t is possible that it Will
order the Third avenue and the Central Park
Company to grant transfers, and thus put the
making Of a court test UP to Mr. Whitridge and
the Central Park company

Incoming trains during the night were

Beginning Tomorrow

The annual meeting of the Cali
fornia Game and Fish Protective asso-
citation will begin tomorrow at Santa
Cruz and continue for four days. At

are interested in fish and game. Ev-
erybody Is invited to attend, regard
less of whether he is a member
OF all the conventions held since
the origination of the association, the
approaching gathering of the clans at
Santa Cruz promises to be by far the
greatest In point of numerical strength
and enthusiasm. A representative of
the fish and game commission will be
present to enlighten the sportsmen in
attendance upon matters pertaining to
the game fund and the money that
was spent in the purchase of game
and the game protection. The gov
ernor has been invited to the gather
ing, but, as he is busy man at pres
ent, it is not thought that he will be
able to attend.
M. J. Connel1 of Los Angeles, who
has been appointed fish commissioner
in lieu of J. Birmingham, jr., who re-
Gently resigned, will be among the
speakers who will address the associa-
ton and the visiting sportsmen. The
new commissioner is an enthusiastic
supporter of the sportsmen's interests
and will lend his aid in the cause Of

tests Sunday at Naples

With only three days before the
swimming tournament for the cham
pionships of Southern California, those

effect that the boys are in excellent

of the tournament will be the SS0-yard
dash, in which the only entries are
Ben Warrington, Southern California
champion in the 440 and SS0-yard
dashes; Walter Abegg, who has beaten
Warrington, and w. Pomeroy, coast
dashes. These boys are in excellent
condition and each is confident that he
will be the victor
Entries to the tournament are being
received at the Dyas-Cline sporting
goods house each day and at the pres
ent time the total list of entries is far
beyond that of any previous year. Only
two entries have been received for the
women's 50-yard DASH but 1t is ex-
pected that many other women will
enter the event on the day of the tour
nament. The finish of the 200, the 440
and the SS0-yard dashes will be in the
center of the bay and at a barge that
will be moored in position. On this

At no time did the Beavers become

Berry is so sure that he will win the
bet that he has invited the theatrical
profession to be his guests at the game
and Kolb and Dill will entertain both
baseball teams at the Los Angeles
theater In the evening. The base run

ately before the game is called this
afternoon.
The baseball boys on the McCredie

usually good time this week. In adj
dition to the baserunning stunt this
afternoon, they are to be the guests of
Kolb and Dill at the theater tonight
and will be guests of honor of the
Jeffries Athletic club Friday night
when Freddie Welsh and Johnny Muir
ply fight. Others desiring to entertain
the pennant chasers will be under the
necessity of postponing the affairs I'M
til a later date, as the boys refuse to
be further entertained.
Freddie and Eddie Maier, Louie SEN
tous, Jeffries and Art Pitcher will put
in today at hunting doves near En-
elmo. Hen Berry wanted to join the
party, but after what he had to say
regarding the Dutch, Freddie with
drew his invitation and Hen will be
compelled to go to the ball game or
stay at home. If Freddie is as good
at shooting doves as he is at knocking
down tenpins, he will be in danger of
arrest for exceeding the limit. At
Venice last Tuesday night he rolled
two games, making scores of 176 and
1877. He says he is out of practice or
he could do 200 with ease, as he has
been known to exceed this score Tin his

in his East Side Athletic club quarters
and will be ready for the big native son
when the gong sounds.
Charlie O'Connor has returned to
Los Angeles for q few days visit with
home folks. He is engaged in business
at San Bernardino. but his family re-
tains the residence on Westlake avenue
