Sullivan did the most of his ef-

round, and Turner slowed up fast In
this period. Both landed many vicious
leads to the head and Sullivan got in
some effective wallops to the jaw:
Turner actually outfought sullivan

Turner a fearful beating in this round
and had the Mexican all but out at the
gong. Had the round gone another
half minute the Arcadia boy would
have won by the knockout route.
Both boys were so weak at the start

not put much force in their blows.
They stung each other fiercely with
wallops to the jaw, and Sullivan had
a slight shade when the gong ended

Sullivan bleeding from nose and mouth.
Sullivan was stronger than Turner,
however, and soon evened up the score
and had the Mexican weak and wobbly

the body and jaw. 1t was Sulilvan's
round.
Turner made desperate attempt to
win the fight by strong finish, but
could not stand the pace. After the
round had gone half the distance Tur-

WOMAN WILLING TO.
RACE AGAINST MAN
Optimistic Roller Skater Thinks She
Can Win from Any Person Who
Can Adjust Wheels on Feet

A challenge has been received at this
office from Mrs. E. C. Willis of Santa
Monica regarding the challenge issued
by ]. l.. Smith, the war veteran, for
a mile run against any athlete in
Southern California. Mrs. Willis is
willing to compete against Smith for
any compensation he sees fit to put up.
Smith Is a skating expert and has
made a reputation for himself on roller
skates in the eastern states and thinks,
if given a chance, notwithstanding the
fact that he is past the 60-mile stone,
he still has his athletic powers about
him and is willing to compete against
any of the star Marathon racers that
are wintering in Southern California.
Arrangements can be made through
The Herald for the race, and If both
parties are willing to compete for a
side bet, Smith says he will place the
money in the care of the sporting edi-
tor of The Herald any time Mrs. Willis
makes up her mind to race against him
for the mile run.

POLY LOSES BUT

HAP H0GAN'S REMNANT WIN.
NERS TAKE GAME
COAST LEAeuERs FIND HIGH
SCHOOL BOYS BRAVE
While Students Could Not Win Game
They Showed Big Fellows
They Were Not In
Inundated

The Polytechnic tossers showed why
they are fighting for first place in the
County Interscholastic league when
they held Hap Hogan's pennant aspir-
ants at Vernon yesterday to four tai
lies. Although the schoolboys were
blanked in the score column, they put
up as good a game at the bat as the
Vernon players, but their total of seven
errors show why Vernon made the
runs.
Although apparently slightly affect
ed with nervousness in going against
the Coast leaguers, the Polys played an
excellent game of ball and scored the
same number of hits as did their OPP
ponents. Ferry, Potter and Tompkins
twirled for Poly and each one showed
in fine form. Jess Stoval, Thomas and
Roy Hit were in the points for Ver-
non. Five hits were made by each
nine.
Price, for Poly, caught the entire
game and showed good form, while
Kinkle and Goliath received for the
leaguers.
Although it was simply a practice
game, some gilt-edged ball was shown
to the crowd. Merry" Pierce, in left
field for Poly. pulled off few field
ing stunts that made the leaguers sit
up and take notice.
The game started off like real old
fashioned contest, but the errors of
the schoolboys toward the end of the
nine innings allowed the Vernons their
runs, and it was a cinch from the
manner in which the Vernon pitchers
were twirling that Poly could not hope
to overcome the lead.
The Vernon nlayers were loud in their
praise of the school players and COM
plimented the pitchers on their fine
work
McAleer, for Poly, showed UP strong
est with the willow, making two of the
five hits made by his side.

What seemed an excellent prospect
for a panic was caused by a careless
smoker in the gallery who dropped
lighted match onto the floor, setting
fire to some papers beneath the seats.
The blaze was big enough to indicate
that the building was afire, and when
the fans began to tumble out OF the
south gallery and run for the exits,
others followed. Referee Eyton,
Manager Hancock and others jumped
into the ring and quoted the crowd
by promptly stating that it was only
a newspaper burning and that there
was no danger. AS the blaze was ex-

sided and a panic was averted. The
