CHINA AND JAPAN DIFFER
ON THE POSTAL QUESTION
Nipponese Pretend to Doubt Ability OF
CeIestiaIs to Handle Mails
Properly

SHANGHAI, Sept 15.-It was fully
expected, according to a Toxic journal,
that ere this time a final settlement
would have been reached between chi
ma and Japan with regard to the postal
question, This expectation, however,
has not been realized. China's obstruc-
tive mood in the matter is attributed
solely to the "rights-recoVery' fever
The story is that some time ago the
grand council instructed the board OF
foreign affairs to prepare a list of cases
in which the exercise of China's legltl-
mate sovereignty was prevented by IN
terference on the part of foreign states.
The boards reply laid special en-
phasis on the fact that several Tor
eien states had postoffices of their own
in China and that the tendency was to
increase rather than diminish this sys1
tenn. In Japan's case the chief ques-
tions at issue are the manner of con-
yeying mails between ShanhaikWan
and Newchwang and the existence OF
several Independent Japanese postof-
fees in Manchuria.
The Toxic organ does not deny that
such a state Of affairs constitutes an
encroachment on China's sovereignty,
but maintains the Chinese are not YET
qualified to be entrusted with the dis
charge of this duty. AS to this, the
Japan Mail suggests that the less em-
phasis laid on such plea the better.
The Chinese, it adds are excellent men
of affairs, quite as competent and
quite as careful as almost any other
people, and to tell them that they are
not vet fit TO discharge what is after
all an ordinary administrative func-
ton is to treat them with great want
of ceremony

The Covina fans are also clamoring
for faster ball. and the San Felice
aggregation Is anxious to secure a
game with either the Pasadena or Re
dondo nine for Sunday morning, the
contest to be held in the Angel city.
Prominent among those who have done
so much to bring. the San Felice team
to the position which it has attained
Is Charlie Miller. considered by many
as being the best amateur pitcher in
Southern California. Miller will likely
be given a tryout this week by
Happy Hogans Vernon team, and from
this lads past performances we believe
that he will have little difficulty in
making good. Anticipating the event
Of Miller joining faster company, the
san Felice nine has secured the serv-
ices of Lebhart, recently tried out by
the Cleveland Americans. Good luck,
Miller. If you get in the box this
series you will be up against the
fastest team of the Pacific Coast
league, but it may be that Mohler and
all his men will be guessing before
the last score has been tailed.

Arranging Championship Series

The crack Bakersfield team is now
making arrangements to play the New
man aggregation for the semi-protes-
sional championship of California.
Manager Carol of the Bakersfields Pc
lieves that his nine will have little diff
Guilty in taking the series from Newman;
The contests win probably be arranged
for October 8, 4 and s. Two of the
giIAnes will be played at BfH'ersfie!d,
while the third will be held at Nisalia.
Manager Giddings of the Newman
SQUAD writes Carol of the mighty
bakersfield nine as follows:
NEWMAN. Cal, Sept. S.-Jo T. car
roll, Bakersfield: My dear Sir-I wrote
vou some time ago our season ends
with the ending of September. but we
are willing to stretch point and meet
YOU half way in regard to arranging
series Of three games between Bakers
field and Newman. We will play you
in Bakersfield on September 20 and 70
(or If you think best double-headef
on the 26th). and the third game to be
played in Visalia October 3, you to pay
our transportation and hotel pllls Ior
twelve men and 35 per cent of the gross
gate receipts. 1 note by your Bakers
field paper that the Traction company
has reduced your ground rent TO ~
per cent. which will leave you good
margin to work on. The VisGlia game
to be split even, 90 per cent to go 10
each team to bear one-half of the ex-
penses, such as balls, umpire, etc.
n ssl1re YOU that no one Is more ready
to play these games than the Newman
team, but I think that we should at
least be entitled to one-half the consid-
Grafton regarding the date which we
are to play I also notice that you have
arranged to play the Olympic club on
the 26th. While that is a very good
team, in fact one of the best in San
Francisco, 1 am sure we would be a
much greater drawing card 4 think
that you could arrange to postpone
their game a week or So
"I trust you will see your way clear
to accept this proposition, and assure
YOU that I wish the best team to win
the championship. I would suggest
that you use the double umpire system
at bakersfield, or IL you prefer to have
one umpire that he be an outside man

kETCHEL-LANGFORD
GO STILL DOUBTFUL

NEW YORK, Sept 15.-If a decision
of District Attorney Jerome holds good
there will be no bout between Stanley
Ketchel and the negro pugilist, Sam
Langford, at the Fairmont Athletic
club here Friday night.
Correspondence between the district
attorney and Police Commissioner
Baker was made public tonight. Mr..
Jerome says:
1.-THE Fairmont club is a duly incor-
porated club, but when sparring exhi-
bitions are given certain portions of
the building are reserved for members
and their friends from which they may
observe such exhibitions, and no mem
ber or guest of a member is admitted
to such reserved portions of the build
ing unless the member has previously
paid to the club fee for the privilege
of such admission.
Assuming the facts to be as above
set forth, 1 am OF the opinion that to
engage in public or private sparring
exhibition under such circumstances Is
a violation of the penal law"

DOG MAKES LONG JOURNEY
THROUGH CENTER OF ASIA
Smooth-Haired Fox Terrier Accom-.
Panles Explorer on Ten Thou.
sand-MIe Trip

A wonderful record as a traveller has
been achieved by Dash, the smooth
haired fox terrier which accompanied
DR.. M. A. Stein, the archaeological ex-
plorer, throughout his great Journey OF
10000 miles, undertaken on behalf OF
the Indian government, through Cen
trail Asia into China and back, says the
London Daily Mail.
Though the aggregate of the
marches amounted roughly to 10000
miles in two years and eight months,
the actual distance covered by Dash,
taking into account his canine habits
of progression, may be estimated at
we'll over 10000 miles. Dash made
whole way, except when he went
"ponyback" for short distances at
times of great heat. When in the
Taklamakan desert Dash. like the
rest of the party, had his water al
lowance strictly limited. 1t came from
the supply carried on camels in the
form of ice.
Dash went over mountain passes as
high as 10000 feet above sea level.
Throughout the journey the dog kept
we'll, and his menu was made up of
scraps from the camp larder. Each
night he slept in DR.. STEMS tent, and
on occasions proved himself a very
useful watchdog. On the high Tib-
etan uplands his chief recreation was
chasing wild donkeys, yaks and the
like. He managed to kill several
hares and bring them in to supplement
the store of food.
Upon many journeys along the In
dian northwest frontier Dash has also
been the comrade of his master, and
he has probably seen far more of the
world than most people. He has true
British terrier blood in his veins, al
though India was his birthplace. The
dog is now in quarantine after having
come from India.

ACHIEVES FAME
AS TOWN OF MISFORTUNE
In Early Days City Was Seat Of Rich
Commerce With the Far
East

Little Acapulso, with its 5000 inhabi-
tants has achieved worldwide fame as
q city of misfortune, says the New
York Tribune.
Twice this year it has been the scene
of a catastrophe. On February 10 300
persons were burned to death when the
Flores theater was set on fire by a
moving picture machine and destroyed
at a special performance in honor of
Governor Flores of the state of Guer-
rero.
Several times before the city has
been damaged by severe earthquakes.
In fact the state of Guerrero is known
as the home of seismic disturbances.
Its severest shock occurred in 1907.
The whole region suffered and Chill
pancingo, the capital city, was prac-
tically destroyed. In 1908 Chilapa, a
city of some $4,000 inhabitants, was
badly damaged, and on March 27 of the
same year that city was again shaken,
computing the ruin of the former
shock.
Nevertheless Acapulco, beset by tropic
perils and cursed by a hot, unhealthy
climate, is one of the most beautiful
spots in the world. It's name, cor
ruption and Authorization of Aquae
Pulchrae beautiful waters), rings true.
The coast at this point is sheer cliff.
Not till the steamer is almost under 1t
does the bluff-walled, blue channel to
Acapulco harbor appear,
At the end of the winding passage IS
a broad bay, lined with rolling hills,
covered with thick forests. The town
lies on the north shore, and about the
hills are rich plantations.
Cortez himself discovered this bay in
1881, and it was then the history of
Acapulco began. From there he sent
out the expedition which discovered
Sinaloa and there perished. From
Acapulco, also, fernando de Alarcon
set sail in 1910 to discover California.
And it is a quaint little old place, more
Mexican and more artistic than most
of the Mexican ports.
Acapulco harbor is one of the finest
in the world. 1t lies 231 miles south OF
the City of Mexico, of which 1t was for
merly the seaport. 1t had been for CEN
turtles the chief center OF commerce
with the Philippine islands, as well as
China and India. BY pack trail the
merchandise went overland from Aca-
pulco to the City of Mexico and points
beyond. Then came the railroad
through from the capital to San Bias,
and with 1t departed the commercial
importance of Acapulco.

Among the Boxers

Eight aspiring pugs tried out at the
pavilion yesterday afternoon and some
good material may be developed from
the showing made by the youngsters.
Besides the new faces there were sew
eral Of the boys who are to take part
at the show Monday evening at Nc
Carey's pavilion who were training for
their bouts, including Sam Coulter,
Jimmy Austin and Jimmy Brady.
Many of the members of the Los An
geles Athletic club watched Sam Coul-
ter work out yesterday afternoon at the
pavilion. Sam showed great improve
ment over his former methods of train
ing, and 1t looked as though he would
be able to make much better showing
against Gene Sullivan than against
Herb White. Eddie Webster is looking
after the training of the former anna
teur.
Gene Sullivan is working at Doyle's
at Vernon with his brother Dan and he
is exercising to the limit for his bout
with Coulter Sullivan hopes to make
better showing than he has done
since he came to Los Angeles, for he
has aspirations to climb up the light
weight ladder Dan is working hard
for his go with Arthur Collins and Will
be In grand shape for his debut in the
NduQ EluB.
Kid Cleveland is taking off the super
fluous flesh rapidly these days, and
Manager McKinzie declared that the
dusky fighter would meet Austin on his
own terms as far as the weight ques-
tion is concerned. The bout is exciting
great interest among the fans, as the
boys are the most clever in the paper
division Of the coast.
Jimmy Brady will have a better op-
portunity to give the fans a line on
his ability when he hooks up with
Charles Norvel. Brady was game when
the match was made and wanted to
make the purse go on winner-take-
all basis. The boys will weigh close to
the 1873 mark.
Manager McCarey is contemplating
putting on Jack Burns and Jack Sie-
berg for the 2Sth If both of the heavies
can get into shape for that date
Frankie Sullivan and Curley O'Connell
may be put on as the semi-windup.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 15.-There
is great public interest here IN the
series Of baseball games beginning to-
morrow In this city between the Detroit

clubs.
These games probably will settle
the championship. This interest has
been heightened by the discussion of
an incident of the recent series in De-

Baker, third baseman Of the Philadel-

Cobb as the latter slid into third
base. Much has been published about
the accident. Cobb vigorously denying
any intention to injure Baker, and the
friends of the latter asserting that
Cobb desired to MAIN Baker, and thus
put a strong rival player out of the
