NEGRO SENTENCED TO DEATH
Speedy Trial Averts Lynching in
Kentucky.

Williamstown, KY, Dec. S.-Within
a few hours Earl Thompson, a negro,
accused of criminal assault, was in
dicted, tried and sentenced to death
here. The extraordinary rapidity prob
ably averted lynching, as a mob of
several hundred had announced their
intention of wreaking vengeance on
the negro.
To protect Thompson, Judge Cam
mack had to make a public promise
to see that the negro was hanged
within thirty days. This quoted the
raging crowd, which was tearing up
benches in the courthouse and shout
ing, and Judge Cammack then SEN
fenced Thompson to hang here Fri

strict integrity with his fellow man.

DIRECTORY PLAYERS
TO MEET SAN FELICE
Sundays Schedule of the lnterurban
League Games Looks Like Fast
BasebaIl-RacycIes-Wells
Fargo Game

Every amateur baseball player and
fan is awaiting the results of Sunday s
Interurban league baseball games with
unusual interest. For Frank Abbot,
having greatly strengthened the Direc-
tory lineup, will journey to Covina,
strong in the belief that he will defeat
the invincible San Felice aggregation.
Two crack twirlers will accompany the
nine to Covina, Acuna and Bennett, and
with Callahan on the receiving end of
the battery and the infield positions
all filled by first class men, the lineup
appears fast from this side of the score
board.
Th9 Racycle and Wells-Fargo mines
will clash at Vernon, and as both teams
are playing real baseball, and appear
likely winners, defeat will mean a Sc
we're setback for one or the other.
The Eastern Outfltters and the Cole
grove boys will clash at Colegrove, and
according to last Sundays perform
ance the prospects of the Outfitters
appear somewhat dubious Mueller,
however, is confident and believes that
the Colegrove boys will hardly finish
one, two three.
The Palms and Paraf1ines' game
completes the schedule, and should give
the fans who will journey to Palms their
moneys worth of snappy baseball. Fol-
lowing are the lineups:

HoLRoRow WINS AGAIN

Much interest has been created in
local athletic and society circles over
the announcement of the engagement
of Frank Holborow, Pacific coast cham
pion in the 50-yard and 1O0-yard
swims, to Miss Mamie Hugo of Los
Angeles. The wedding will take place
in the near future and the couple will
reside at Portland, Ore, where Hol-
borrow has accepted position in the
employ of his uncle, president of the
Pacific Sash and Door company.
Holborows athletic records are too
well known to necessitate further COM
ment. This crack swimmer will in all
probability compete in no future races,
which will mean that Southern Cali
fornia must locate a new so and 100
yard swimming champion to sustain
her laurels in the future.

MAKES THE FLIGHT
WITH PERFECT EASE
cartercar Delivery Wagon Climbs 48
Per Cent Grade from Standing
Start N.Lnout an
Effort

Several thousand persons were gath
cred at the corner of Hill and Third
streets at 2 o'clock Thursday after
noon to witness an event that had
never heretofore been attempted in the
annals Of automobile stunts, and of
which Los Angeles dealers, drivers and
owners have furnished many within
the last few years.
This was out Of the ordinary how
ever, and accounts for the thousands
who were on hand to see the demon
stration of the Cartercar delivery
wagon making the ascent of Anglers
Flight.
Promptly at 2 o'clock Woods r.
Woolwine, president of the Woolwlne
Motor Car company accompanied py
r. r. Pendleton, the practical demon
strator for the Cartercar company, VINO
had been spending the past rev weeks
in this city, appeared In the STURDY
little Roadster which had been piled
TO make the ascent after the delivery
wagon had performed it marvellous
stunt. Mr.. Pendleton took charge OF
the bright painted sample delivery car,
which is a two-cylinder, "a horsepower
machine, drove over the sidewalk OF
Hill street and stopped at the foot or
the ascent. With the utmost ease the
wagon took to the flight as though
that was the regular business In which
It had been engaged. Proceeding for q
short distance, Mr.. Pendleton brought
the car to another stop on the 40 per
cent grade, the car retaining Its posi-
tion with but the foot break holding
Il Another start was made from Il
standstiI, and the car proceeded with
the same ease as on the level. Many
onlookers thought and so expressed
themselves that the car was stalled, but
the object Of Pendleton was to demon
strate the ease with which the car
can make the hills from a standing
start as making a run for 1t.
Going as far as the incline cars the
wagon backed down over the run, re-
ceiving an ovation at the hands of the
multitude of people crowding the
streets and hillside. .,4
The little roadster was not permit
ted to make the ascent for the reason
the incline railway people refused to
grant the time necessary, but as it IS
q two-cylinder and lighter car, 1t
stands to reason that the Angels Flight
for the roadster would have been but
a pleasure jaunt along a declining
boulevard.

VERNON TO RESIST DRAFT
OF VANCE, NEW TWIRLER
President Brooks Claims His Services
for Three Years-Case May Go
to National Commission

There is liable to be some trouble
over the drafting of Pitcher Vance of
Vernon. Owner J. w. Brooks of the
team says he will resist the draft on
the grounds that he was notified by
President Ewing of the Coast league,
when he purchased Vance from the
San Francisco outlaw league team, that
he would have a right to the services
of the big hoy for three years. Now
the draft has made Vance the prop
erty Of the Detroit-Americans after
the opening Of the 1910 season, and on
payment of the draft price of $1,000.
Vance jumped from the Toledo, Ohio,
team to the outlaws in California,
pitching, it is said by the Vernon men,
for the San Francisco state leaguers
under the name Of Gray. He resumed
his forefathers' surname when he re-
Joined the organized ranks. 1t is be-
lieved and this view is supported by
those who make a study of the rules,
that Vance, although drafted by YER
non. really belongs to the team from
which he jumped to the outlaws, and
that the eastern team is the one which
will be given the draft money The
muddle, if Brooks stands out, will
probably be threshed out by the nation
al commission.
