LANDS BIG TUNA

AVALON, Sept. 5.-After a battle
royal which lasted for over four hours
and which was fought in a choppy sea,
L. P. Streeter of Pasadena, secretary of
the Catalina Tuna club, was successful
in landing a tuna weighing 1876 pounds.
This Is the third largest fish which has
been caught here this season. For five
years Mr. Streeter has lived in antici-
patton of catching another of these big
game fish. He has visited here period
ically during this time. The fish was
caught on the regular standard tackle,
and other anglers who witnessed Mr..
Streeter fighting fast and furious from
the launch Dixie" overwhelmed him
with congratulations Immediately he
put foot on the wharf at Avalon. The
strike was made off Long Point, and
the battle finished with the boatman
and angler finding themselves several
miles off the shore. The fish will be
mounted and a presentation will be
made OF 1t to the Asbury Park Angling
club Of New Jersey.

BASEBALL RACING

III ODAY the Vernon and Portland
teams will hook up in a double
II header. The first game will be
played at Vernon field at 10:30 a. m.
and the second contest will be fought
at Chutes at 2:30 p. m. Five of the
seven games already played are the
property of the Hoganites, and Hap
promises to rub 1t into the weeping
Oregonians by taking the two today.
Double-headers will be played at Sac
ramento between the Senators and the
Seals, and Los Angeles and Oakland
will play a twin session at San Fran
cisco. Every organized league through
out the country, in fact, has double
headers scheduled for today.
The series opened yesterday between
Pittsburg and Chicago is practically u
decisive one in the National league PEN
nant race. Should Pittsburg continue
its showing of yesterday the Pirates
will be sent so far into the lead that
it will only be a matter of how far
ahead they finish. AS result of the
Sunday play Pittsburg is 81 points
ahead, which is big margin at this
stage Of the season.
From the drowsy city of brotherly
love comes first hand word of one of
1'ours." John Raleigh, late of the
Vernon pitching staff, now a leading
light on the twirling staff of the ST.
Louis Nationals, writes to his former
leader, Happy Hogan. a breezy little
letter telling of his fortunes with
Roger Bresnahan and the Cardinals.
1t follows: Dear friend Happy-I
have been intending to write for some
time, but haven't seemed to have
much good to say for myself I don't
know whether 1 ought to call you my
friend, for don't think any friend of
mine would send me to such place as
st. Louis. I thought 1 knew what hot
weather was down in Mexico, but the
three weeks in st. Louis certainly got
my goat. I lost twelve pounds, and
you know that to take twelve pounds

BROCK AND PICATO
READY FOR BATTLE
Maud Junction Performers Finish
Training with Sunday Matnees at
Their Camps and Reach
Required Weight

Phil Brock practically completed his
training yesterday for his ten-round
contest with Frank Picato at Nc
Carey's pavilion tomorrow evening, and
he showed by his Sunday work that
he was in prime shape for the ordeal
Brock boxed five rounds with Dick
Given and ended up the afternoons
work in the pink Of condition, so he
will have nothing better to hope for
in this respect. He is down to 1929,
which insures his going into the ring
at his best weight.
Frank Picato did his usual work at
Doyle's camp in Vernon, though he
cut out some of the boxing, being con-
tent with three rounds with his broth
er and three with Herb White. White
wound up his exercise also and seems
fit for the two battles which he is to
fight within two days of each other.
Curley Oconnell and Dick Given
kept up their work at the pavilion yes
terday. while frankie Sullivan and
Young Solomon edSied the crowd
which assembled at Venice to see the
fighters train.
Gene Sullivan went on with his
brother Dan and appeared faster than
at any time since he has been in the
ring in this city. Sullivan reiterated
his assertion that he will end the as
pirations of White and he will go after
the San Berdoo boy from the start
with this object in view.
The fans seem to be enthused over
the scraps tomorrow night, and as
there will be plenty of action all
through the program the attendance
promises to be large. Seats win be
placed on sale this morning.

''The only difference up here is that

all kinds of questions about you and
Kitty Brashear and Truck Eagan. So

slump in hitting, but is picking up
again. He sure has a great arm. Just

certain, that I will be back in Los An

Vernon sIugfest in Morning

In the morning the principal feature
of the play was the slugging of the
locals. They gathered the grapes in
five of the nine innings, though outhit
by the Beavers. In the eighth the
northern men opened up and fie hits
were secured off Schafer in this period.
Perfect support and a little hard luck
for the visitors netted only two runs
off this collection, however. Carson
lasted only three innings, being re-
placed by Chenault, who was equally
easy. Kitty Brashears homer starred
the batting display
Handsome Garrett went on the fir
ing line for Portland in the second
session. He never was in better form,
had double cinch on the game from
beginning to end, and laid them over
in the groove as often and so ef-
fectively that only one man was passed,
five famed the atmosphere, and four
dinky singles constituted the total
damage to his perfect score. Two err
rors by the locals, both hard chances,
spoiled a perfect fielding game, but a
half dozen bits of speedy and spectacu-
lar work on the part of the basemen
and outfielders kept the fans on edge.
Olson, Breckenridge and Martinke
made sensational catches, all of them
shortstop ran away over behind sec
ond In the fifth, and robbed Hogan of
a likely hit by pulling in an almost
impossible catch, harvesting at first in
time to put Hap out.
Start Scoring In Second
Fisher was hit by pitched ball in
the second, and thus started something.
Johnson squeezed out an infield single
which was a tossup decision at first,
and Ort walked, filling the bases. Speas
lost a great opportunity by striking
out, but McCredie showed his name
into the history of the day by doubling
hard to the score board, bringing over
Fisher and johnson. In the sixth,
with two out, singles by Ort and John
son, and a wild throw by Hogan past
third base, brought Johnson over for
another run. The fourth tally came
in the seventh. McCredie singled to
center and Motifs spoiled a felder's
choice by throwing wild to second, Mac
reaching third when the ball rolled
into center field. Granny's single
brought the Oregon manager over the
pan. The score:

nouncing that he had figured out a way
whereby the Democrats could never
secure more than % out of 100 men,
bers of the House OF Representatives
if the new re- districting law is pass
ed. Charles r. Brayton last night
threw the Democratic speakers into
whirlwind of excitement. Leading Re-

plans.
The speech was made at the meeting
of the British American Republican
Club and Brayton said:
Il have been figuring out what the
passage of the re-districting amend
mcnt would mean and believe that it
could be worked out so that the Demo-
Gratis would never have more than %

| of Representatives. That certainly is
enough for the Republicans, isn't it,"
Then he went on and carefully out

Republicans in control of three fourths
of the new districts.
