Captain Dillon was out of the game
yesterday and Wheeler, who TOOK ms

REVOLVER EXPERTS
SHOOT AT OAKLAND
Western Division of Entrants In Ma
tional Tournament for Champion
ship of United States to
Contest in North

In a letter received yesterday by As
sistant Secretary Douglass of the Los
Angeles Revolver club from the secre-
tary of the National Revolver associa-
ton, it was decided definitely that the
Los Angeles club range will not be the
scene of the western meet of the re-
volver cracks, who will compete in the
annual tournament for the champion
ship of the United States, which will
be held between September and Z at
Springfield, Mass.
The letter stated that it already had
been decided to hold the western meet
in Oakland or San Francisco, and il
any members of the Los Angeles Re
volver club wish to compete in the
meet they will be obliged to go to one
of the northern cities. Assistant Sec
retary Douglass does not believe that
any of the local members will be able
to enter the shoot on account of it's
being held in the north. Efforts will
be made by the local club to secure the
next annual shoot for the champion
ship of the United States for Los An
geles. A few members of the club
will practice shooting at their club
grounds next Sunday.

INVITE COMES
BIT TOO LATE
CREW OF |. A. A. C. CANNOT GO
TO SAN DIEGO
NOTICE COMES TOO CLOSE TO
DATE OF REGATTA
Boys Lack Training and Condition,
and Understood Event Had Been
Called Off by Southern
Rowing Clubs

The San Diego Rowing club will hold
a regatta Labor day. The announce
ment of the regatta plans has been
pending for some time, although it was
not presumed that the Los Angeles
Athletic club would be invited at this
late date. However, Capt. Isaacs of the
Los Angeles Athletic club four-oar
crew yesterday received a letter from
Capt. Winter of the San Diego Rowing
club inviting the Los Angeles Athletic
club to compete at the regatta
Capt. Winter seemed to believe that
the local athletic club would send it's
crew to San Diego, regardless of the
fact that the crew long ago resolved
not to go south. as there was nothing
definitely stated a few weeks ago when
the boys began to train for the event
on the assumption of Coach Jim Court
ney of the southern club.
Courtney has been working hard for
the event, and when he was informed
that the Coronado tent city would pay
the expenses of a regatta this year be-
cause of a lack of business he sug-
gested that the Los Angeles Athletic
club crew row on the san Diego SIDE
of the bay and to hold the regatta
under the direct supervision Of the San
Diego Rowing club. This last an
nouncement from Courtney came too
late, however, as Coach AL Treloar of
the local club left for his vacation, after
assuring himself that the southern club
was not sure of a meet.
Captain Winter said in his letter that
the club was taking up subscription
for the cup, which he said would cost
about $3.50. He also said that they
would not be able to donate enough
money to cover the expenses Of the Los
Angeles Athletic club four-oar crew
while they were at San Diego, although
they would attempt to pay the trans
portation. The restriction as regards
the cup are that the final possessor of
the cup must win it three times before
it can become personal property OF the
winning crew
The program at the rowing regatta,
which will be held at San Diego, will
be as follows: Novice singles, junior
and senior singles and four-oar shell
race, in addition to other club events.

DUTCH CRUISER
STIRS CARACAS
BY Associated Fress.

Dy N5SOCldteu EIeShA
CARACAS, Friday, Aug. 7.-When
the Dutch cruiser Gelderland, after
taking away Minister De Reus, came
back to La Guaira late Saturday with
out saluting, and with decks in fight
ing trim, the greatest excitement
reigned here in Caracas, as it was
known that Castros new French coast
defense guns, mounted on the mountain
side above La Guaira and on the beach,
had been made ready to meet any
emergency
Speculation was rife, as it was
thought the vessel would bring an
apology for the De Reus letter and the
stoning OF Consul Lopez in Curocao,
and the demand for the release of Car
los Perrill Gentil, Dutch merchant of
La Guaira, recently imprisoned on a
contraband charge, or an ultimatum of
some kind.
The curious were doomed to disap-
pointment, however, as the unexpected
happened, as 1t usually does here.
The cruiser was not allowed to COM
municate with the shore or deliver any
of the documents which it brought, pre-
sumably because of its failure to sa-
lutte on this and recent occasions has
been considered an offense by Presi-
dent Castro.

HUNTING AND FISHING

Many reasons are given for the lack
OF interest in fishing and hunting at
the present time, and the chief OF
these seems to be the fact that game
is scarce. Although the fishing has
been poor for the past month, local
fishermen are of the opinion that the
tuna will begin to come in the latter
part of the month and cause the inter-
est In fishing to be renewed. Many
anglers even now are laying in STOCK
of heavy tackle in anticipation or the

and the local gun stores have mad q
falling off in business compared to
what they had month ago.

for a weeks hunting trip around GAIA

This is favorite deer ground for Pra-

bit shooting. He will leave the city
Saturday afternoon for WineVille, near

Charles w. Gills will join a party OF
four who will pitch a camp in Bear
valley for two weeks. In addition 10
