CLICK OF CAMERA BRINGS
BACK LONG LOST MEMORY
Strange Case of ForgetfuIness Lasting
Two Years Revealed in
Milwaukee

CHICAGO. March 16.-One Of the
strangest cases of loss Of memory in
medical records has been brought to
light in Milwaukee. Two years ago
it had it's beginning in Chicago.
George Childs, aged IS, son of William
Childs of Brooklyn, N. Y, has re-
covered his memory after having been
mourned as dead and identified him.
self when he heard the click of
Photographic camera.
Two years ago, he told the Milwau-
kee authorities, something snapped
in his head, and since that time he
does not know what route he has
travelled. He says it happened at a
Moody Institute meeting, after he had
been working for a Chicago firm that
used cameras in its business.
Childs appeared in Milwaukee from
nobody knows where. He begged the
county authorities to find out who he
was. They could not help him until
the camera shutter aroused the Sleep
ing memory. A photographer was sent
out to get his picture, to send to those
who thought he might be j. A. Oatman,
a missing salesman. With the taking
of the picture the man was cured of
his strange affection.
According to the story he told the
doctors he is the son of a wealthy
family in Brooklyn. He said that for
years he was the chief clerk of the
Anthony Photographic supply house, in
New York.

"Covina, March Is, 1909.
Sporting Editor Herald:
Dear Strive notice in The Herald
Of March 10 that Walter McCredie of
the Portland team wishes to arrange a
series of games with strong teams in
Southern California. Will you kindly
put US on your list and try and arrange
a game for us, to be played any sun
day after March 81?
I'VE have strong backing here and
are prepared to put team in the field
that will compare favora,bly with any
team in the country. We will either
give them a game here, at Covina, or
will play them in Los Angeles.
Our diamond has been put in fine
condition and is first class in every
respect.
IF they play US here at Coyina, we
will have something in the nature of
a celebration and pay all their expenses
with a banquet thrown in.
I'VE will take them on an automobile
trip through the orange groves and
show them a good time generally.
"Covina, as you know, is located only
about twenty miles from Los Angeles
in the heart of the very finest orange
country in the world. Only forty min
utes' run from Los Angeles on the cleo
trio car.
'Kindly see that this invitation is
extended to the Portland team, and
anything you can do in our behalf will
be very much appreciated.
Thanking you. [ beg to remain, yours

Manager Covina Baseball Team"

sAN DIEGO, March 15,-There was
another large gathering of well known
society people and lovers of sport gen
orally to witness the second days
events in the polo tournament on the
Coronado Country clubs field TINS
afternoon. The weather was again Ia
vorable and the sport exciting es-
pecially in the second contest. TWO
games were played. The first was be-
tween Bryn Mawr and Los Angeles
and resulted In a second victory for the
PENNSYLVANIA team. The Los Angeles
players made q plucky fight, but the
fasteners showed considerable supe-
riority in team. work, and they geher-
ally managed to hit the ball haruer
than the Los Angeles men. Inc us
parity was not sufficient to ROB the
game of interest, however, ana there
was no lack of pretty plays. the maj
score was Bryn Mawr 3, Los Angeles D.
The second game was between Bur-
lingame and Riverside, and was won
by the former by score or II 10 i.
Notwithstanding the great dinerence
In the final totals the contest was ex-

Riverside played a much better game
than 1t did on Saturday, when 1t was
defeated by Bryn Mawr. But Bur

than In Saturdays game with Rans-
1agh.
Buringames Are Wonders
It was the verdict of the crowd that
Burlingame was playing the best polo
In the history of the club. and some OF
the experts who watched the contest
even went so far as to declare that
there is no team of polo players in the
United States that can Vanqulsn the
Rurlingame team now at Coronado.
1t was noted, however. that Bur-
.iingame was aided greatly by luck as
well as by good play. The champions
ponies seemed to have the knack OF
showing the ball just where it would
do their riders the most good. In this
respect Riverside was less fortunate,
and the Riverside ponies were gener-
ally less serviceable.

Los Angeles fans, Notwithstanding
the fact that the Pacific Coast league

ifornia Summer league last night met
and formed a six-club organization.
The first of the series will be played
April 4, and the season will continue
until July II. The teams that have en-
tered are the Woodill & Eulse, Edt-
sons. McCormicks, Maiers, Pasadena
and Santa Ana.

The entrance fee was set at $25, and
at the close of the season the team
landing in first place will take down
$780, and the second best nine will get
$50.
Mr.. Mccormick was elected presi-
dent, A. E. Hawley, vice president;
Ward, secretary, and Red Perkins,
treasurer.
The rules agreed upon stipulate that
fourteen men will be carried by each
team, and that the home team will re-
ceive so per cent of the gate receipts,
with Is per cent deducted for adver-
tising expenses, while the visiting team
will receive 40 per cent.
A fine of SIS will be imposed on the

President-elect Mccormick selected
as umpires Lawrence Fernandez, j.

further additions will be made to the
league, and that the teams decided on
last night will not be changed.
Another meeting will be held Mon

ments and settle the minor details OF
the new organization.
Last summer this same organization
played out a successful season with
out any friction or finding it necessary
to resort to protests, giving the fans
that follow this league an exhibition
of the fastest professional ball
that has ever been played on Southern

1t was decided not to discriminate
against either standard league ball,
this matter being left to the discretion
OF the various managers.
The Dyas-Cline sporting goods house
has announced that it will donate a
suitable pennant to the team that
heads the list when the season is over.
The enthusiastic spirit shown by the
managers and the eagerness to form
the league without arguing over trivial
details bode we'll for the success of
the league. both in a sporting sense
and financially.

NEW YORK. March 15.-Before TO-

whom were his countrymen, Dorando
Pietri defeated Johnny Hayes tonight
in the rubber match for Marathon SUI
premacy. The race was at the regu-
lation distance, &c miles SS5 yards, and
was run over a ten-lap track in Madi-
son Square Garden. Pietri won by hair
a mile in 2:4S:OS. From the start to the
end of the race the Italian led the
American, spurred on by the cheers
and plaudits of his emotional country
men.
In the seventeenth mile Dorando
started a heart breaking sprint which
Hayes was unable to follow, and when
a half mile had been run the foreigner
had gained a lap. Again in the eight
zenith mile, after he had taken a
breathing spell, the Italian cut out
pace that was too fast for Hayes and
annexed another lap. ThencetorWard
to the finish Dorando simply logged
behind Hayes, winning the race in easy

YALE UNIVERSITIES COACH
PLACES BAN ON CIGARETTES

Head Coach Walter Camp of Yale
university has placed the taboo on
cigarettes. In former years he has not
made any objections to football men
smoking outside of the regular foot
ball season, but after this season was
over he claimed that men who smoke
at all have not the endurance the alb
stainers have, and accordingly made
this move.
In the interest of clean athletics he
has also prohibited all profane lam
guage in the athletic field while the
men are under his jurisdiction. This
is a big step for a team the size of
Yale to take, and as this university
is one of the leaders in college ath-
letics. it is expected many other schools
viii follow this new departure.
