For Fourth Time Freshmen
Lose at PuShball

BERKELEY. Aug. 21.-Teams of
more than 200 men each pushed and
pulled in an effort to win in the push
ball contest on California field this aft
ernoon. but the sophomores. with their
experience of last years game behind
them, won over their freshman op-
ponents by a score of goals to o. A
large crowd attended the game.
Clad in their old clothes and eager
for the fray, the two teams lined UP
on the field. and at the blow of the
whistle began to push and shove on
the big six foot leather ball. The soph-
omores massed their players on the
side of the ball. which they sent sour
rying over their opponents goal line
in short time. They repeated the
operation four times in spite of the
strenuous efforts of the class OF 1913.
and the babies were forced to defeat
for the fourth time.
There were few minor accidents to
mar the contest. r. Buckley. a soph-
omore, was injured in the scrimmage,
but recovered. Several of the players
had their clothes torn off and received
cuts and bruises.
n. F. Fairbanks was captain of the
victorious team. while Earl Hill Of Pas
adena was captain of the freshmen

HARD ROADS FOR
AUTO Up NORTH
L. V. Lynch of the Speedwell
Company Tells of Trip
Into Oregon

L. V. Lynch. manager of the Speed
well motor car company has returned
from his tour into southern Oregon
Lynch has most interesting tale to
tell of the. roads on part of the jour
ney. He drove up, and as far as Red
Bluff found the roads in excellent con-
dition; thence to Anderson they were
fair. But from Anderson to Fall River
Mills. by way of Whitmore, a distance
of 11O miles, the roads were a fright.
III all his experience he had never seen
such roads. Time and time again he
had to stop and roll great big rocks
out of the way to get by.
The only thing that Lynch is Won
dering about now is how the Speedwell
car ever stood the journey. He was
enthusiastic over the vehicle before he
started, but its performance and per-
feet condition at the finish has in
creased this a hundred fold.
From Fall River Mills to Alturas,
via Beibier and Adm, the roads were
somewhat better, but even then not
good enough for motoring. From AL
turas to Lakeview, Ore. the roads were
fair. From a commercial standpoint
Lynch was exceedingly pleased with
the trip, as he did considerable busi-
ness on the showing of the car. He
has, however. declined a couple OF
propositions to repeat the trip and
bring the cars overland preferring to
ship by railroad.

MOTORIST OF THE
NORTH IS HERE
Charles Gilchrist of Washing
ton Tours South in His
Thomas Car

A party consisting of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Gilchrist, Mr.. and Mrs. Harry
Gilchrist, Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Bower,
the elder Mrs. Bower and Master
Bower have just arrived in San Fran
cisco from Centralia. Wash.
They have been two weeks on the way,
having spent day in Portland, Ore,
and another in Gold Hill, Ore, coming
by way of Grants Pass and Crescent
City over what is known as the coast
route. Althoug4- this proved a very
hard and difficult trip-some of the
grades being eight or nine miles in
length, and many turns so sharp that
it was necessary to back the cars in
order to take them-their two cars
covered the 971 miles to San Francisco
in fine shape.
Charles Gilchrist, who drives Thomas
forty, says that he would not advise
automobilists to attempt the. coast
route as there is not as great variety
of scenery and the grades are so bad
The worst stretch of road encountered
was between Centralia and Portland, a
distance of 125 miles. The party will
leave within day or two for Los
Angeles, returning home by way OF
Nevada They expect to be absent
about two months.

Marin County Hunters Will
Kill VarmintS :

SAN RAFAEL. Aug. 21.-A move
ment is on foot among the sports
men of Marin county to organize q
hunt in the near future to exterminate
as many as possible of the animals
which prey upon the game of this
section.
The plan is the result of the short
ening of the hunting seasons by the
supervisors, the sportsmen maintain
ing that. since they have only lim-
tied time in which to hunt deer and
quail, the animals which destroy
such game should be killed off
Tom Bar, well known sportsman
here, in speaking of the proposed hunt
said: Instead of shortening the
hunting seasons, the supervisors should
have taken some action to extermi-
nate the varmints. Coyotes, coons
foxes, skunks and wildcats destroy
more quail and deer in one year than
we do in three. Young deer are otter
killed by coyotes and wildcats, while
the other varmints prey upon the quail
and kill them off in large numbers

directors of the San Francisco motor

Crack Golfers TO Clash on
ClaremOnt Links

The second half of the special
the Claremont country club and James
Black of the San Francisco golf and
country club will be played on the
Claremont links today. These two pro-
fessionals, who played SO holes on the
Ingleside course last Sunday, will play
a like number today.
Smith, who is only 1S years of age
came out of the first half with a lead
of 9 up. 1t was expected Black would
go into the second half at the very
worst on even terms. He held his own
and a little bit more in the morning,
Smith put up a remarkable finish and
established a lead of 8 up in the last
five holes.
After the thirty first hole they were
all even. The local man fell down
badly toward the close of the match,
while Smith seemed to improve as the
match progressed.
Neither player did himself Justice in
the first half OF the match, probably
because so much money was at stake
They are expected to show great inn
provement today. Smith will go into
today's contest with a substantial lead
and everything in his favor He will
have the advantage of playing on his
home links and with the confidence
that goes with an unexpected lead
should play a great game.
While Black looks to be out of ii
because of his failure to emerge from
the first half with a couple of holes to
the good, he will no doubt play with
an abandon that may bring him better
results than the careful game he
played last Sunday.

ANOTHER MONTHOF
HEAVY REGISTRATION
Secretary of State Curry Makes
His July Report of Licenses
Issued to Motorists
Figures Show That the State Is
Taking a Prominent Place
in the Auto World
By R. R. L'HOMMEDIEU

Secretary of state Charles F. Curry
has issued his report of the registra-
ton Of motor vehicles for the month
OF July. Although showing a decrease
over that OF the previous month, the
number Of cars for which licenses were
issued is far in excess OF those for
the same month of any year since the
present law went into effect. It stands
Fourth in the months since December,
1905. there having been 794 cars regis
tered. This number is also better than
Tor any month previous to January.
The record of registration for the
month Of July since the law was en-
acted is: 1905. 847; 1906. 314, 1907. $50;
1905. SIS.
The transfers for the month num-
bered I66. which is seven less than
the record. which is held by the month
Of June, this year. The records for
July in transfers since 1905 are: 1905
~ 1906, -; 1907, Sc; 1908, 81. The
record Of licenses issued 10 chauffeurs
was 222. which stands next best this
year TO that of March. The records
FOR the month of July are: 1905, 1e4
1906. 22e; 1907. 264: 1908. 222.
For the seven months of the year
there have been registered 5,3l1 cars
with $40 transfers and 1869 chauffeur
licenses. Taking the valuation Of the
cars at an average OF $4,000 apiece, II
viii be seen that the invested interest
so far this year is s10,622, 600. The
last number assigned for the month Of
July was 24,0Sl, which, taking the same
valuation for basis on which to
compute the value of the invested in
rerest Of automobiles since the law
went into effect would mean that since
March %. 1905, when the law was ap-
proved, the value Of the motor cars
registered would be sz6.162. 000. As il
is considered from Conservative
standpoint that the price Of the cal
is about four-tenths Of the Invested
interest, in everything appertaining tC
automobiling, this would mean that
more than SI2O,0OO.000 represents The
invested interest in the motor car and
the trades affected by it since the Law
went into effect.
