SINGLE SHELL CREW
IS MOVED TO VENICE
Assistant Secretary Henderson Orders
Four and Eight Oar Boats
Transferred from Playa
del Rey

An order was issued yesterday by
Assistant Secretary Henderson OF the
Los Angeles Athletic club to transfer
the four-oar and eight-oar shells from
Playa del Rey to Venice and hence
forth all the training in single smells
will be done at Venice. The news was
received ioyfully by the Venice pop
mace. for. in addition to the interest
in the workout, 1t will tend to draw
large crowds of people to the popular
resort. Although the long distance
run to Venice at present Is occupying
the attention of the members of the
Los Angeles Athletic club, including
that of Coach Treloar, 1t Is probable
that the proposed regatta will hold
the attention of the California sporting
world after the race is pulled on ana
until the rowing meet Is over.
Several members OF the crew, includ-
ing George Retzer, Jim RoutZahn ana
Swain, are training for the long dis
lance run to Venice. Coach Treloar
will have a large number of boys from
which to pick his next senior crew,
among the probable ones being Lou
Guernsey, Ray Dunnigan, Cliff Reu-
man. Maurier and Derby. However,
only AL Treloar will know the makeup
of his new crew, until 1t Is announced
by him. No doubt he will have many
of the boys out training for the re-
gatta.
The four-oar shells remain at San
Pedro and it is probable that the
crews will train at that place. Sam
Wood returned from a long vacation
Yesterday and feels much rested and
looks well able to hold his own among
the members of the crew.

and this will guarantee that all will
get back to town after the fight.
However 4. the event that no special
cars are provided, the Pacific Electric
company will hold a sufficient number
of cars until after the fight, so that
there need be no worry about getting
back to Los Angeles that night. Those
fans who attend not only will witness
three corking good fights, but will ma
terially aid the harbor city sportsmen
in their efforts at putting on good,
classy shows. They help US, so 1t is
not a bad idea to help them right
back.
There will be great baseball game
at the Chutes next Sunday afternoon.
The Fats have challenged, the Press
Boys team and the challenge has been
accepted. The game will not be a
horseplay exhibition, but will be
played as If the world championship
honors were at stake and a purse of
many millions was to be played for.
Umpire T. F. Lane, who was given
trial by the Coast league a few days
ago, will handle the indicator, and as
he knows none of the players and has
no personal interest in the result, his
decisions will be made according to
the plays and In accordance with the

lEFFRIES WILL
RETIRE. FIGHT
YIELDS TO URGING OF HIS
FRIENDS
pos NOT COMMIT HIMSELF FOR
FUTURE SCRAPS
Fighters Succeed In Inducing Him to
Reconsider His Dissemination
Never Again to Act as Third
Man In Ring

After resisting for two days all APP
peais by Baron Long, Managers Jones
and O'Connor and many Of his best
friends to referee the Ketchell-Papke
mill Labor day, Champ Jeffries gave
M last night and announced that he
would get back in the harness, at
least for that event So he will be
third man In the ring the afternoon
these great middleweight gladiators
clash for the world championship at
Vernon.
This is as it should be. The fans
will be delighted to know that the big
bow has come out Of his crouch,
caused by the hotheaded talk of Packy
Mcfarland and his manager after the
decision of a draw In the Mcfarland
Welsh Eight, and it is believed now
that ne has consented to reconsider
his retirement, he will officiate In
future at all important battle at the
club.
Jeffries would not have accepted the
appoiutment as referee If he had been
able to get around it. When informed
Tuesday evening that the fighters had
agreed upon him as third man In the
ring he positively declined to serve.
Then Manager Long for the club.
Manager O'Connor for Ketchell and
Manager Jones for Papke got him OF
in a room and talked to him. They
finally began to beg and they made 1t
SO strong that the big boy agreed to
give his answer last night. After
much urging by his friends who are
interested in the fight he decided to
referee the scrap, but would not COM
NIT himself regarding future fights.

BRINGS GAME FISH
TOSOUTHERN WATERS
STATE COMMISSIONERS HAVE
NEW CAR
Carry Out Long Cherished Plan to
Exchange FIngerlings, Fry and
Breeders with the East
ern States

Southern California anglers are
awaiting with deep interest the arrival
OF the new fish car" which the state
fish commission has announced will
reach Los Angeles during the next
thirty days. The transportation car
is now on the side track at the Sissons
hatchery and is in readiness for the
reception of consignment of eastern
ash which viii be distributed in the
inland waters and harbors in Southern
California. The new car Is modelled
after designs drawn in Europe and the
eastern states and is the first of its
kind ever built for the exclusive use
OF California.
The state fish commission has per-
fected arrangements with the national
commission and with the various state
associations for an exchange Of fresh
and salt water fry for the propagation
of every variety of food fish in the
Pacific coast inland and coast line
waters.
The first shipment from the east will
consist of seven varieties of fresh
water fish which will be liberated in
ponds. reservoirs and inland streams
in central and Southern California
In exchange several varieties of fresh
and salt water food fishes peculiar to
California will be sent to the Atlantic
seaboard states for propagation and
stocking.
When the car reaches Los Angeles
county 1t will be sidetracked at the
important cities where 1t will be
thrown open for inspection of all in
terested in fish preservation. The car
includes in its makeup every modern
Improvement calculated to add to the
preservation of live fish in transit and
is a model convenience in its line.
Included in the early shipments in
Los Angeles county VIII be a large
consignment of sunfish direct from
the eastern ponds. These fish will be
liberated in selected ponds, reservoirs
and lakes in Southern California 1t
is hoped they will thrive, as they make
a very desirable pan fish, From a
sporting standpoint the striped bass
will attract the most attention.
The state fish commission has ar
ranged to liberate large consignment
of two and three-year-old striped bass
in the following named lagoons In Los
Angeles and Orange counties: Alamitos
bay, Newport bay and Anaheim land
ing.
Six years ago striped bass were first
introduced here and the experiment
has demonstrated that the king OF
game food fish will thrive in these
waters.
The first attempt made was on q
small scale, as only sixty small fish
survived the journey from the Sissoni
hatchery and no special effort was
made to protect them after liberation
in Alamitos bay.
The shipment which will arrive II
the new car will consist of upward o.
1000 fish averaging a foot in length
A regular system for transporting aliv,
edible fish has been arranged. The
new car will be kept in commission
throughout the year.

FISHING


HHE Southern California Rod and
Reel club will hold its regular
l. monthly meeting tonight at Bur
bank hall, commencing at O'Clock.
All anglers In Southern California are
welcome and all members of the organ
ization are urged to be present. Among
other things that the members will be
treated to will be a report from the
Southern California delegates who have
been attending the yearly meeting OF
the California Fish and Game Protect
i've association at Santa Cruz. Many
members who of late have been sue
cessful in the piscatorial world will tell
the members about It, Plans will be
laid at the meeting for another club
outing for early in September. These
monthly meetings always are popular
with the members of the ciup, ana To-
nights meeting should be doubly so on
account of the interesting report which
the delegates to the Santa Cruz meet
ing are expected to bring. No doubt
a large number of the members VIII
urge that none should miss the coming
picnic of the club, which always is well
attended by the members.
A big school of yellowtail is reported
off Redondo, and the local fishermen
are wasting no time in taking advan-
tage of the luck. Two Of the fishermen
took nearly two tons of the fish yester-
day while trolling OFF Rocky Point. w.
T. Maddox, superintendent of the Los
Angeles & Redondo railway, was pulled
off wharf N. yesterday by a. big yell
lowtail, and although Maddox was
plunged into sixty feet of water, he
chung to his pole, swan to the wharf
ladder, climbed back on the wharf and
landed the 37-pound fish after a fight
of twenty-seven minutes.
The many prizes that will be given
the winners of the different catches
made by the members of the Southern
California Rod and Reel club are on
exhibition in the show windows of the
Western Hardware and Arms compa-
ny. They consist Of rods, reels, fish
hooks and various other essential arti-
cles in the way of fishing tackle. They
are donated by the various sporting
houses, makers and members of the
club.
Fishing at Long Beach yesterday was
unusually poor, and only. an occasional
surf fish was the reward of the many
weary fishermen. One of the lucky
anglers was Rev. G.. Leonard of Red
lands, who Is passing his vacation at
the seaside. n
Fishing at Catalina island Is improv-
| ing steadily. Local sporting goods
houses are stocking in their regular
amount of heavy tackle and already
fasteners are daily arriving at Los
Angeles, en- route to Catalina, where
they intend to remain until after the
tuna season is over. Many capitalists
are among the newcomers and seem ia
have taken fancy to the sport.

leading baseball writer's on the east

-. 1. a q n
pearance in Los Angeles. This maya
zine is uniqu in many ways, put,
probably, more so because It really is
the first magazine to be published IN
the interest of the great national
game It is an illustrated magazine
and always carries a good line OF pase-
ball stories, historical and otherwise,
from the pens of diamond stars, such
as Cy Young Tim Hurst, Charles p
CARPENTER, president of the Tri-State
league; and also has a few contribu-
lions from such noted fans as Chaun-
cey Olcott, Homer Grow and Bob NC,
Doweil. At the close of the baseball
season football will be taken up, but
as the magazine, primarily, is a base
ball periodical, the greatest or all
great games will not be neglected,
even in the winter months.
Probably the largest delegation of
Los Angeles fight fans that ever went
out of the city to witness a fight will
go to San Pedro tomorrow night to at
tend the Lauder-Trendal1 scrap. The
management of the San Pedro Ath-
ietic club has arranged a card that
really has fine class to it and in adj
dition to the main event, which will
be at twenty rounds, two other scraps
are on the bill as preliminaries. The
main event, however, classes well with
any of the minor class events staged

arousing no little interest locally. It
is probably that special cars over the
Pacific Electric will be chartered to
take the Los Angeles fans to ringside,
