A. A. u. WILL ARRANGE
AMATEUR BASEBALL
Meeting Tonight at Y. M. c. A. Rooms
viii Determine Status of Newly
Organized Saturday and
Sunday League

The southern California branch OF
Amateur Athletic union will hold an
important business meeting this even
ing at the Los Angeles Y. M. G. A,
when matters pertaining to interschol-
astic athletics will be discussed. The
most important business transaction
will be the final settlement of the A.
A. u. amateur baseball league which
was informally organized several
nights ago at the Los Angeles Athletic
club.
There has been considerable discus
sion by outsiders who try to rule the
sporting events of Southern California
over technical points of the amateur
league. They contend that the COM
mission has no power in the amateur
baseball situation. The committee ap-
pointed by the A. A. u. acted strictly
within the rules governing amateur
athletics and was assisted by former
athletic coaches who have been af-
filiated with the various high schools
of the south in the organization OF
amateur baseball leagues. The COM
mittee as we'll as those connected with
the new league will appear in person
and present to the Southern California
commission the fact that by allowing
interscholastic and intercollegiate play
ers to participate in Sunday leagues
each member so affiliated with any ag-
gregation will have a card issued by
the registration committee. In all there
will be ten clubs organized to play Sun
day baseball through the summer
months and a successful league Is as
sured.

dent of the womens student body of

ing against the worlds champion

oped a fast basketball squad, both in
the boys and girls departments, and

FANS ARE DlSGUSTED
AT KETCHEL VERDICT
Especial to Tho Herald.I J


SAN FRANCISCO, July 6.-Never was
there greater disgust shown in local
fight circles than there was today over
the decision that made Ketchel the win
ner of yesterdays meeting. Not only
did all the sporting writers with one
notable exception disagree with the ac-
tion of Referee Roche, but the fans
were unanimous in their declarations
that a draw was the best that Ketchel
should have gotten. And in connection,
many who before granted the Michigan
boy a chance with johnson, mono can
now see where he has n lOOlS-in.
Many even que lon that he would
have a chance with Sam Langford. This
fighter Is to be ready to start for the
coast ON instant notice according to the
rumOr circulated through Mission street
this evening. He, is prepared to hurl
his challenges at the champion and fur
ther the Mission club has guaranteed to
offer KetcheI $4,000 for the match.
When asked whether Stanley would
meet Langford, Wlllus Britt said to-
night that he would certainly do so If
there was enough coin in it to make 1t
worth while, but would fight johnson
first.

ROD AND REEL
BY "RED" PERKINS

N L. HEDDELY, vice president of
II the Southern California Rod and
n sReel club, is still tilking about
that 23-pound steelhead trout he caught
over at the Isthmus and also a % ga
pound yellowtail which qualified on
the 3-6 for a card. Through the kind
ness of Edward Winfield, who helped
him out of his trouble, Mr. Heddely
also captured a rock bass Weighing
Ia pounds. "Pink" is now sporting
a Southern California rod and reel
button and in presenting the button
by the committee Pink" was heard
to say, well at last after many years
of hard and diligent work 1 have won
something worth carrying"
r. f. Morse last Monday at Bay
city caught a corblna that supplied
good feed for seven husky and hungry
fishermen of the Southern California
Rod and Reel members.
Several members OF the Southern
California Rod and Reel club are Won
dering what kind of a fish 1t was that
bit the genial financial secretary on
the lip. Abbott says 1t was a case of
sunburn. The sun Is hot at Bay city.
Walter Geft, official boat rocker of
the Southern California Rod and Reel
club, and Abbott conspired to take re-
venge on r. e. Morse last Monday.
"R. E." was resuscited finally.
Ben Williams yellowtail taken out
of the waters of the San Clemente
island last Friday was one of the larg-
est ever captured at the island. A hard
fight was put up by the fish which
was brought to gaff. 1t weighed AZ
pounds on the Light Tackle club scales
at Avalon.
Fishing is excellent at Santa Cata-
lima, just at present the best sport be-
ing at the Isthmus. Big yellowtail
are to be taken between Bird island
and Ship rock.
B. M Rotterdam of San Dinmas, who
won the first SO button from the Rod
and Reel club on a 81 IA pound white
sea bass, is still at the island, and
from reports received yesterday they
have not been striking as they have in
the past few days, but the anglers ex-
pect them to take hold again in day
or so.

PROPOSED TO ESTABLISH
MUNICIPAL GAS CONCERN
Petition Circulated to Ask Council to
Call Election for Voting
of Bonds

MONROVIA, July Ga petition is
being circulated in Monrovia asking the
city council to call a bond election to
vote whether or not $4,000 shall be
raised for the purpose of installing a
municipal gas plant. c. H. Anson, G..
H. Reed, Sr., and C. N. Whitaker are
the prime movers in what is consid-
cred by many as being a desirable i'm
provement. The cause of the move
ment is the high price charged by the
Edison company for gas, $l.5O per thou
sand, as compared to the price of 80
cents charged in Los Angeles. The
quality of the gas is also considered as
being inferior
Should Monrovia be raised to city
of the fifth class, as is contemplated
by some of the citizens, the city coun-
ell would be able to regulate the prices
for gas An election raising the city to
one of the fifth class could not. how
ever, be held until April 10, 1910.

Mr.. Hicks and his sons foots up nearly
$5 600, without any insurance the loss
by Mr.. Black is over 81 900, not quite
covered by insurance, and the loss on
the military equipment of the Rifles is
not yet ascertained. 1t may be put
down as not far from an IS, 900 fire,
with nearly all of it an absolute loss.
Much sympathy for Mr.. Hicks and
his sons is expressed, but they have
gone bravely to work to re-establish
themselves. Carpenters were at work
on the building Monday morning, and
Messrs. Hicks & Son were ready for
business by Wednesday.
An order to the ] J. Black Lumber
Company to repair one section of the
Hicks stable was given, and men were
at work at 8 O'Clock Monday morning.
By Tuesday night a new roof was on,
and Wednesday morning Messrs. Hicks
were back at their old stand.
The fire burned two big cables of the
telephone company, putting So phones
out of commission, and Mr.. Homer
McClhtchey got busy at once By nine
O'Clock he had force of men from
Atlanta, and by three O'Clock the phones
were working again. The damage to
the telephone company was about 5000,
Mr.. Hicks has no idea as to how the
fire originated.
