ATHLETIC CLUB TO
HOLD OPEN HOUSE
PREPARES PROGRAM TO BE
GIVEN AT MASON
Boxing and Wrestling Contests, Sing
Ing and MonoIogues Features of
the Evenlng-May Present p
Medals to Fighters

Members of the Los Angeles Athletic
club are at work preparing for their
program of events to be held the first
week in June at the Mason opera
house. The affair Is to be held as a
ladies' night, and the club members
which will include not only athletic
events, but various features in the
way of singing and speaking. De Witt
Van Court. boxing instructor of the
club, has charge of the program. He
Is being assisted by Al Treloar, the
wrestling instructor, and committee
composed of the members who are
events in which the club takes part.
According to the plans, which are
as yet only vaguely formed, the events
of the evening will consist of boxing
and wrestling contests between the
club members, wrestling matches and
other contests. In addition there will
be several quartet selections and mono
logues.
De Witt Van Court Is planning to
bring on all the boxing champions of
the club, and also the members of the
organization who hold Southern Cali
fornia championships, won at the tour
nament held while the sailors were
enjoying the hospitality of Los An
geles.
Arrange Boxing Bouts
Walla Wheeler, who holds the title
at the 115-pound figure; Sam Coulter,
the 135-pound champion; A. J. Lalande,
the champion of the south at 145
pounds; Cliff Rueman, the coast cham
pion at 1853 pounds, and the heavy
weight amateur champion of the south,
c. Jorgstorff, will all be on the pro-
gram for boxing bouts, and Treloar
promises to bring out his best catch
as-catch-can men.
Because of the fact that there is
little trouble bumped into in getting
a permit to let the youngsters of the
club give boxing bouts. 1t has been
impossible to set definite date for
the ladies' night. but 1t is expected
that the first Friday in June will be
chosen. The affair will be the largest
of it's kind ever tackled by the ath-
letic club and no trouble will be spared
to make 1t a profound success.
In all probability Van Court will pre-
sent to the Southern California anna
teur boxing champions the medals they
won in the recent tournament at
Chutes park These medals become
their personal property permanently,
but the men will be called upon to
defend their titles at tournament to
be given next fall, according to present
plans, or else forfeit to the challenger.

GAME WORTH WHILE PROM
ISED FANS
Edison and Hoegee Teams viii Play
at Chutes Park-Fast Crowd
Semi-Professlonals in
Uniform

Baseball fans of Los Angeles will not
find 1t necessary to sit at home Sunday
and think of what might have been had
the Angels been playing on their own
lot and facing the tiers of friendly
faces. The regulars will be able to turn
out to Chutes park and holler them
selves hoarse as of old, at the same
time being assured of seeing a game
we'll worth while.
At 2:3O D. m. the bleacherites will
witness the Edisons and the Hoegees
ON the old baseball grounds trot out in
the second game to be played in the
schedule of the new California Sum-
rner league. These teams are made up
of the fastest lot of professionals
in the southern part of the state, and
the contest will be fast and full of
ginger.
At the other city diamond of the
league, Thirty-eighth street and Santa
Fe avenue, the Santa Anas will meet
the McCormicks. This is the first APP
pearance in Los Angeles ever made by
any of the outside teams of the old
California Winter league, and it will
afford the fans an opportunity to watch
the near champions of the old league
in action.
Following is the lineup of the four
teams for their games tomorrow:

LOCAL FIGHT CLUB FAILS
TO LAND PAckY FOR MATCH

All negotiations with Packy McFar-

Brock contest, which is scheduled for
Decoration day, are off.
Baron Long, secretary of the Jeffries
Athletic club, received a telegram from
the Chicago boys manager last night
agreeing to match his fighter for a con-

CAR MAKES NEW
SET OF RECORDS
WHITE STEAMER LOWERS THE
TIME TO SAN DIEGO
NO TROUBLE EXPERIENCED ON
TRIP
Inland Route Covered In Eight Hours
and Four Minutes by Party
of Los Angeles
Autoists

A brand new set of records was made
by the White steamer yesterday ON its
run from Los Angeles to San Diego and
return.
1t was a demonstrating trip made by
Capt, H. d. Ryus of the White garage,
and as his guests he had representa-
tiyes from the three morning papers OF
Los Angeles.
At the start he announced he was
not going to run the car SO fast, but
that all the occupants would ride COM
fortably and get home in condition for
work He also guaranteed the car
would be in first-class shape at the end
of the journey.
Starting at ABB o'clock a. m. from the
Alexandria hotel, the run was made to
the office of the Union in San Diego IN
six hours and twenty-nine minutes.
The coast route was taken on the
down trip and a great deal of the road
where it passes through the hills made
fast going unsafe and impossible.
Stopping for thirty-three minutes IN
San Diego, the return trip was begun
at 1913, Just seven hours after the
time the car left Los Angeles. The
coast route was followed out of San
Diego and then the inland route taken
near Miramar.
Lowers Inland Record
The best previous authentic record for
the inland route was made by 2. a;
Renton in a Great Smith roadster, with
two persons, the time for the run being
nine hours.
The White, twenty horse power
touring car with five persons. made the
trip in eight hours and four minutes,
and a number of stops were made to
expose a dozen different Photographic
-lates.
The trip of $40 miles was made in
fifteen hours and four minutes and was
all done in daylight.
The car at the finish was running
as smoothly as when 1t left the garage
IN the early morning, and the only
adjustment that was made during the
day was to change nozzle on the
vaporizer, a smaller size being SUBJ
stituted for the larger one at first
thought necessary.
Not a particle of tire trouble was
experienced, though the car ran at a
good clip in many places and pulled
through many rough spots that were
conducive of punctures and blowouts.

SISTER AIDS BROTHER

GIRL IN CHARGE OF KITCHEN
AT CAMP
Young Woman Watches Over Freddie
Welsh and Says Boy VIII Be
in Fine Condition for
Battle

Yesterday afternoon Baron Long, De
Witt Van Court Jim Gaines, Eddle
Keeven and several newspaper men
took an auto ride to Jack Doyle's camp
and watched Freddie Welsh go through
his training routine.
While waiting for his sparring part
ners to get ready, the young Engl1sn
lad amused himself playing with the
camp mascot, a small goat.
Freddie appeared to be in fine shape
and when Peter Sullivan appeared,
ready for the bout, quickly donned the
gloves and was soon hard at work
dealing out rights and lefts to Peter,
who also was handing out a few swift
ones.
Miss Welsh, Freddie's sister. occu-
MED a seat near the ring and TOOK

She has charge of the culinary depart
ment of his quarters and is careful

my brother will be in fine condition
when he enters the ring the day of the
BATTLE" said Miss Welsh, land I feel
confident he will be the victor. l be-
lieye he will be the next lightweight
champion of the world"
Welsh went six fast rounds with
Peter Sullivan, then took on Kid Car
sew for several hurricane sessions. The
Carsey boy is whirlWind and is a
promising youngster. The way he
went after the Briton would lead per-
son to believe he had an old time
grudge to settle.
Welsh wore his headgear In order to
protect his ears, but the way he COW
cred during the bouts yesterday he had
little need of it.
After he finished sparring with Sulli-
van and Carsey, Welsh posed for Baron
Long, who made several snapshots.
Believes in Shadow Work
The English lad is great believer
in shadow boxing and went at this
method of training for ten minutes.
After the professionals had finished
their work two young amateurs, Kid
shorty and Young Slim, both about 10
wears of age, donned gloves nearly as
large as themselves, entered the ring
and entertained the crowd for three
fast rounds, during which several
knockdowns were scored. The young
pugs were heartily applauded by the
fieht fans, who contributed small
purse. which was equally divided be-
tween the kids.
At the East side camp Phil Brock
went through his usual preparations,
skipping the rope, several rounds with
the punching bag and number of
fast sessions with Kid Dalton. Both
lighters say they are feeling fine and
will be in first-class shape for their
fight on Decoration day.
