u. S. C. WILL MEET
STANFORD ON TRACK
TWO Track Meets TO Be Held with
Northern niversity-BerkeIey
Refuses DR.. Bovard's Offer

President Warren Bovard Of the Uni
versity Of Southern California was sue
cessful in his trip north to arrange for
track meets in so far as Stanford was
concerned, having secured the promise
of two meets from the northern uni
versity during the coming season. One
is to be held in Los Angeles and the
other at Palo Alto. The exact dates
of the meets We're not set, this feature
to be arranged later between the re-
spective managers of the two teams.
At California Prof. Bovard was not
so successful, being unable to secure
promises for any meets. The state
university management gave as their
reason for not meeting the Methodists
the fact that they could not draw a
crowd in Los Angeles. However, the
one meet i'm the north win give the
local schools athletes a weeks trip
ana should prove a great incentive
toward bringing out a record breaking

KINNEY BACK OF
FIGHT PROJECT
FANS PRACTICALLY ASSURED
VENICE WILL BID
MAY CONSTRUCT $4,000 ARENA
- ATHLETIC PARK
If Successful Venice Capitalists Will
Stage Battle During Day-Much
Confidence Expressed in
Kinney's Backing
Especial to The Herald

VENICE, Nov. 17.-Although their
plans have not been brought to Il
definite head, it is known here that
local promoters desirous of having the
Jeffries-Johnson fight held at Venice
are quietly working along practical
lines. Abbot Kinney. wealthy founder
of Venice, refused today to make any
further statement regarding his plans
in reference to the fight, declaring that
the matter is in the hands Of his lieu
tenants. This is taken to mean that
something in the way of a definite an
nouncement of the Kinney plans may
be expected soon.
II. b. Eakins, mayor of Ocean Park
and Venice, who is taking leading
part in the promotion scheme to hold
the fight here, declared today that 10
new developments have been made in
the plans. He said that the promoters
are figuring upon the expense that Will
be attached to putting on the fight IN
the local athletic field. as well as the
bid to be offered to procure the fight.
To Build Coliseum
1t is estimated that to construct an
amphitheater of the size required 70
seat 100000 persons it would cost from
$50, 900 to $4,000. 1t is confidently eX-
pected by the Venice promoters that
a 100000 crowd can be assembled to
or any other spot in Southern Cali
fornia.
Those who know Abbot Kinney say
that when he gets behind a proposition
of any kind he backs it 10 the limit,
but he is not known as a speculatOr.
If he places a bid for the fight it will
be strictly a business proposition and
he VIII expect to reap great benefit for
Venice, himself and all interested in
the project He is said to have eX
pressed great confidence in the Jeffries~
johnson meet as a business venture,
and the fact that his men are making
rapid calculations is significant.
That the fight viii be held in the
daytime is a practical certainty, be-
cause Of the motion picture feature.
That il will be held before the Fourth
of July if held in Venice was authOri-
lively given out today. 1t is considered
probable that the event will be staged
July .. This will be done so as not
TO interfere with the celebration Of In
dependence day, which is a big day at
all of the beaches, and it is thought
the Los Angeles-Pacific railway would
be unable to handle the enormous
crowd that would attend the fight If
held on the Fourth. Attempts to throw
cold water on the proposition from GER
tain quarters are being laughed at.

Tennis Champion Reveals No
Bullet Wounds

CHICAGO Nov 17.-Investigation by the
coroner into the death OF Kreigh Collins,
former western tennis champion, who was
found dead In the street last night, dissi-
pated all rumors that he had not been
killed by a street car. These rumors had
caused the inquest today to be postponed
until tomorrow A post mortem eXamlna-
tion Of the body established that he had
been killed by a street car. No marks OF
bullet wounds could be found.
Residents in the vicinity OF the scene Of
the accident told the police two shots were
heard last night just before the body was
found. This gave rise to the theory that
Collins may have been dead before the
car passed over his body.

INDIANS LOSE
To WALLA WALLA
GARDEN CITY LANDS ON
HOME TEAM FOR s TO 2
Poor Showing of Indians Due to Lack
Of Practice-One OF Pendleton's
Two Points Gained by Fluke-Game
is Pitchers Battle up TO Seventh
$50 go to Walla Walla on Special
Train-Return Game is Promised.

Lack of practice resulting in poor
team work on the part of the Pendle-
ton Indians, allowed Walla Walla to
romp away with yesterdays ball game
to the tune of to A fluke on the
part of the Garden City aggregation
enabled the Indians to get one more
than the single ace to which they were
in reality entitled.
The feature of the game up to the
seventh inning was the pitchers bat
tie between Hutchinson of Pendleton
and Aubin for Walla Walla, and the
errors on the part of Pendleton play
ers which allowed five runs despite
the fact that Hutchinson had held the
opposing batters down to one hit. In
the seventh inning Hutchinson evil
IDENTIFY gave up hope and in that canto,
and the one following, he was landed
on for five hits, two Of them being
good for three stations each.
Aubin was in fine form yesterday,
10 of the Indians tanning the air in
a vain endeavor to connect with his
benders. He only allowed two hits
during the entire game.
Despite the bowling of yesterday
mornings wind, about $50 Pendle-
tonians went over in the excursion.
The game was played at Meadow
park, five miles out from Walla Walla
and was witnessed by crowd of seven
or eight hundred.
A return game is to be played with
Walla Walla in this city in the not
distant future and If the Pendleton
players can be persuaded to take
enough interest in the game to get
out and practice, there is a fair
chance that victory will perch on the
Indian banner.
