PROMINENT SAN FRANCISCAN
MAKES TRIP IN FRANKLIN
Big Plate Glass Man Makes Hard
Spin in Auto and Engine as Cool
as When She Started

The advancement in methods of
making automobiles is indicated in
the case of w. p. Fuller of San Fran
cisco, Cal, who recently, after an ILL
ness in a San Francisco hospital, was
taken to his ranch in a 2S-horse power
Franklin motor car, the distance COW
cred being approximately Al miles.
Telling of the drive, a participant
said
"Mr. Fuller's ranch Is in the ex-
treme northern portion of Lake coun-
ty and is situated on the other side Of
Elk mountain. In order to reach same
he branches off from the travelled road
and practically follows a trail over the
mountain. The road is straight up for
four miles, and when he made the trip
it was covered with about six inches
of dust, under which was loose gravel.
I'm order to get over the mountain
it Is necessary to start from the bot
tom on the low gear. open throttle

lin reached the top of this mountain it
was stopped, and they did not get a

Among the Boxers

Monte Attell arrived in town yesterday on
the Owl and went out TO Doyle's Immediately
10 continue his training where he left off at
Frisco. Attell looked the picture Of health
, and said that he expected to bring back the
championship when he meets Danny Webster
Tuesday evening at McCareys pavilion. Monte
has more confidence than ever since he won
so decsively In the north and he will go into
the ring expecting to get the belt which Man.
ager McCarey placed for the boys at the last
fight and which remained in the possession
Of the Pacific Athletic club because the papers
with whom the decision was lett made the
aftair a draw. Monte is accompanied by his
manager and trainer, Harry Foley, who will
look after the boys interests while here.
Danny Webster resumed his training yes
terday afternoon at Eastside and is getting
into grand shape for the battle. He expects
TO do fully as well as at the last fight and
hopes this time to carry off the belt as well as
70 retain the title which he won when he
met Monte before.
Frankie Sullivan and Billy Cappelle also are
working hard for their ten-round contest
which will furnish the semi-windup for the
event next Tuesday evening. Cappelle has
been doing his training stunts at San Pedro,
but yesterday he moved into town and will
work in conjunction with Monte Atten at
Doyle's. Cappelle is near the 100 figure re-
quired in the articles and he hopes to give
Frankie a beating, thus boosting his stock
so that he may get engagements with some
OF the other high-class lads In the feather
weight division.
Sullivan has not been seen in the Maud
ring for several months, having been ailing
during the period OF rest, but now that he
Is feeling fine again he expects to show the
fans some OF his old-time milling which made
him so popular when he was handled by Gene
Mayne, who by the way, will return to Los
Angeles in a few days and will take hold
OF the race track lad again.
Nothing has been heard from Ketchel regard
ing the proposed contest with Flynn since
Manager McCarey wired asking that the date
be set for December IA or II or switched over
to January. The Pacific Athletic club does
not know what to think of the affair, and
Ketchel is reported to have repudiated the
statement made by James H. Ryan, who made
the arrangements with McCarey, posing as
Ketchers manager Meanwhile Jim Flynn is
on the anxious seat as he turned down
chance to meet Joe Willis to take on Ketchel,
and IL the big match falls through he Will
have to wait until Willis and Geyer settle
their argument before he can get on again.
Joe Livermore and Chester Moss were
matched for the founr-round opening bout for
next Tuesday evening thus completing the
card for the Webster-Attell show. The boys
weigh about 125 pounds each and have always
put UP good exhibitions whenever they have
appeared in the ring at Maud.

AROUND TRACK
AT MILE MINUTE
ASCOT IN PERFECT CONDITION
FOR NEXT MEET
Herald Man Makes Circuit on Outside
Course in 1902 for Five Consecu-
tive MiIes-LIVIngstone
Will Beat Il

1t is a perfectly safe prediction that
never in the history OF Ascot park will
the time be made that will be marked
up on Saturday and Sunday next when
the big cars will meet In a friendly con-
test against all coast records. Never
in all the history of automobile racing
on the Pacific coast have there been
such an array of big classy cars as
viii be seen in these two events.
Pert as Shanghai rooster in a barn
yard of homefed chickens is the little
Corbin, which has done some phenom-
email stunts on the racing tracks of the
neighborhood.
A Herald man made the round trip
several times around the course yes
terday acting as mechanician for Driver
Al Livingstone, who is handling the
little wonder, and when the fact Is
considered that the inside of the course
is barred from practice, and yet the
little car made the circuit several
times consistently in the speed of
1902, 1:02, 1908, 1902 and 1902, she was
sure going some. Livingstone is
pleased to death with his new charge,
and the manner in which Expert Heune
has tuned the little fellow Is the pride
of driver and mechanician.
Sid Kendall Is to ride with Living
stone, and is one of the most self
governed young men in the automobile
business. He will be a valuable as
sistant to his driver, knowing the work
of the little Corbin to a nicely, and
when these two experts get going on
Saturday and Sunday it may be be-
lieved that the little car will be going
around Ascot park track at as lively a
gait as was ever seen on that racing
track.
A Herald representative made the
circuit of the track yesterday to obtain
the exact condition of the track, and
never in the history of the course has
the track been in such perfect condi-
tion. On the outside limit of the track
it was no trouble at all to reel off the
circuit at little over a mile a minute
gait
The little "Peter Pan" was on the
track for a trial spin, and If there is
any doubt about what this little mid
get can do let them get behind her for
a mile or so, and if they don't think
she is carrying a plow below her radia-
tor there must be some mistake. True,
the Corbin, fleetest car on the track so
far, passed her, but 1t was not on the
low by large majority.
Al Livingstone has the Corbin in
the pink of condition and all past REG
ords made by the Corbin will be Wiped
out, for Expert Heune guarantees that
the little wonder is far beyond any
thing she has ever been on any track
heretofore, and Heune knows, it may
be relied upon.
