JUDGE P0STP0NES GAME
WITH SANTA ANA NINE
Manager Of Pasadena Team Will En-
deavor to Strengthen His Club
for Coming Contests

Manager Judge of the Pasadena
baseball team will have to disappoint
the fans this afternoon. The new
manager of the Pasadena club is un-
willing to play the Santa Ana team
with the amateur aggregation he mad
parading around as the Pasadena
team. The Crown city team played
such ragged game that the fans were
disgusted and did not make any bones
about telling the players so.
When he scheduled the Santa Ana
game, Manager Judge expected that
he would have his new summer team,
composed of the best players from the
California Summer league. Thl Maier
and Mccormick teams have been haV-
ing a hard time to settle the cham
pionship and are unwilling to give up
playing i'm the league until the cham
pionship is settled. As the majority
of the players signed by Judge are
members of these teams it will he i'm
possible for him to have a game this
afternoon.
If the Maier team wins from the
Mccormick team today it will give
them the Summer league pennant and
if the Mccormick team wins 1t will tie
the teams for first place again and re-
quire an extra game to determine the
championship, in which case II would
mean that the Pasadena team would
not have a game for two weeks.
Manager Judge is dickering with
Jimmie Wilson, formerly a member OF
the Pasadena team, to don Pasa-
dena uniform again and play with the
locals this summer. If Judge succeeds,
it will be a feather in his cap, as sew
eraI mana gers are after Wilson. who is
one Of the best players in this end
of the state.

SECRETARY GALL0UPE WANTS
AUTO LAWS ENFORCED
ASKS COOPERATION OF CITIZENS
IN FRAMING LAWS
Los Angeles Auto Club Desires ordls
nance Passed to Have chauf-
feur Examined Before
Licensed

AS a result of the recent agitation
in regard to the changing Of the pres
ent automobile laws, in view of the
number of deaths and accidents OF the
past few weeks, the Los Angeles Au-
tomobile club is desirous that its po-
sition in the matter be thoroughly un-
derstood,
In connection with the recent contro-
versy in the attempt TO rearrange the
automobile speed laws, II. c. Galloupe'
secretary of the club, has issued the
following statement:
/ have before me a number OF clip
pings from the local press bearing upon
the recent automobile accidents which
have shocked the city of Los Angeles
as has no other calamity of recent dato.
One, of these clippings-an editoria!
from the Express of July 1-calls upon
any motor organization who may har-
bor within its membership, one X. w,
Mattoon, a eulprit guilty of the latest
outrage, to expel him from its men,
bership
l wish to state in behalf of the At
tomobile club of Southern California,
that this man MattOon is not a mem-
Der of that organization, and also TO
state in Justice to the members of the
Automobile Dealers association, that
Mattoon is not dealer i'm automobiles,
as the Express stated i'm its editorial.
We have in Los Angeles three motor
bodies-the Automobile club of South
ern California, the Automobile Dealers
association and the Motorists Protec'
tive associa tiOn-all of which include
among their members the best of oar
citizens, and it should be remembered
by those who are prone to criticise
that the officers and members of these
organizations depore these sad acct-
dents and fatalities a great deal more
than the public at large seem to realize.
Clubs DepIore Accidents
The automobile has become q neces-
sity for the rapid transaction of bust-
ness and these accidents not only re-
move from our. midst men of ability
and integrity who are needed in this
growing city. but 1t puts a damper On
the progress of an industry that is des-
tined to revolutionize the transporta-
tion facilities of the world.
II is the old story of history repeat
ing itself-crime. pestilence and famine
always run rampant at periodical in
tervals-and it seems that right now a
small percentage of those who are able
to own or borrow an automobile are
bent upon taking the law into their
own Misunderstanding out with the
avowed intention of driving as they
please and let the rest of us get out
of the way.
My purpose in this article, is to plain
