Boer Unholz has blown back to
Frisco and is looking for future
matches on the coast. Rudy was
canned by the down east promoters
as a pugilistic counterfeit, and now he
returns to the coast a repentant and
wiser kiddo, ready to apologize for all
the nasty things he said regarding the
sporting writers who failed to give him
the decision every time he fought. He
may have to take on that tough bunch
of human elasticity, Cyclone Thomp-
son, if he gets match in Frisco, and
if he comes to Los Angeles he probably
will be asked to fight Sam Langford
or Jack Johnson, just to show that he
is repentant.
Kid Hueston, famous as a pool ex-
pert and rival of De ORC for the world
championship, surprised the cue eX-
perts of the country a few days ago by
defeating John Daily of Chicago in a
championship series at three-cushion
billiards. Hueston never was consid-
cred seriously as a billiard player, and
the sports snickered when he chal-
lenged Daily for the title of national
champion. The entrance fee of $3.50
required by the terms of the gift of the
$1,000 diamond trophy. emblemaic of
the national championship, was paid by
HuestOn and he qualified for a chal-
lenge match. Then he took every one
of the three games of fifty points each,
winning the championship by the score
of $50 to lis. Cue experts still are
dazed at the result, but prompt medi-
cal attendance in all cases so far has
been sufficient to bring the victims of
surprise around and it is believed all
will recover.
Poor Merkle! 1t seldom happens that
a man in sports becomes so famous as
a result of his boneheadedness and lack
of ability that he gets a permanent
place in history, but the thoughtless
action of Merkle in losing the pennant

CLAREMONT. Oct. 13.-Rudimentary
work in throwing, kicking and tackling
is being given Pomona's squad in big
doses. Coach Stanton is determined
that next year at least will see the
makings of a team for the Claremont-
ers at the opening of the football sea-
son.
Floyd Lorbeer, who won his track
letter last year as a freshman, has
climbed from the scrub team class
and now is In line for the varsity

and halfbacks of the freshman team,
Clark Kehner, Shut and Cover, also
are eating at the varsity training ta-

will make his name a household
word throughout the land. All his ef-
fortssat making a favorable name for
himself in baseball history were nulli-
fed when he overlooked running to
second base to make good the run that
had been scored and which would have
won the pennant for the Giants. The
angry fans of the east are writing let
ters to the newspapers. suggesting ev-
cry sort of punishment for him from an

1t is strange that so little interest is
found in the gentlemanly sports OF pool
and billiards In Los Angeles. There are
more crack players at either game in
this city than in any city of double Its
population in the country. With win
ter coming on. when baseball will get
off the map, 1t looks like some effort
should be made to arouse the interest
Of the players in the games. This in
terest has been allowed to die because
other sports and pastimes have been
allowed to monopolize the spotlight in
recent months. Several club champion
shipc are due to be played during the
winter, while Jeems Morley and Hen
Berry are figuring upon tournaments
between the three-cushion experts of
the city. If the players will take an
interest in the matter the winter sea-
son will bring forth many interesting
tournaments, and now is the time to
start things to going.
It appears now that the action of the

The Los Angeles high school stands
in a good position to pull down all
the honors in local interscholastic ten
mis- this season. The school has
cinched all racquet trophies since C.
Rogers and Ward Dawson got to-
gether in the high school. They are
two of the best junior players in South
ern California and the fact that they
are at the hill school makes it ap-
parent that they will reflect their past
