SPECIAL PROSECUTOR TO
APPEAR AGAINST KETCHEL
Middleweight Champion Answers In
Court to Charge of Running Down
Japanese in Big Automobile

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. S.-Stanley
Ketchel, the champion mlddleweight
pugilist who has been arrested
number of times lately for speeding
the big racing car which he acquired
the day after his fight with Jack
johnson, appeared again in the police
court today, charged with running
down a Japanese laundry wagon. The
japanese was severely injured, and
the horse which he was driving was
killed. After running down the laun-
dry wagon, Ketchel attempted to es-
cape, but was captured after a long
chase by two policemen, who witnessed
the affair. When his case was called
today a special prosecutor appeared
against the fighter, and on his re-
quest continuance was granted until
Thursday
Late last week Ketchel appeared in
the police court to answer to the
charge of running into a buggy in
which a police officer was riding. That
escapade cost him a $50 fine which
was his third contribution TO the mum
icipal treasury since he acquired the
machine which ran over the Japanese.

HORSE RACING ENDS
ON EASTERN TRACKS
Cancellation of Empire Meet Brings
Turf Affairs to Close One
Week Earlier Than
Usual

NEW YORK, Nov. S.-Horse racing
ended in the east today a week earlier
than usual Whether the curtailment
was directly due to the hardshps in
flicted by the anti-betting law in New
York state is a matter of opinion.
The recent cancellation Of its usual
fall meeting by the Empire City track
which was scheduled for this week was
met with a proposal to prolong the
meeting at Aqueduct until November
Is, the date to which the racing season
usually continues, but because of the
debilitated condition Of the sport under
the stringent anti-betting law, the
Aqueduct authorities refused to accept
the additional dates.
A large crowd was on hand at the
Aqueduct track today for the windup,
and to see the last stake race of the
season. This was the Belle Harbor
and it was won easily by Ten PAGES.
With the closing also at Pimlico to-
day the movement of stables that will
seek winter racing in the west, south
and in Mexico already has begun, but
the turfmen mainly interested are
those of the smaller establishments,
as most of the big stables will go into
winter quarters on the Long Island
tracks.

ACTION DISCUSSED AT MEETING
AT MEMPHIS
Association of Major and Minor
Leagues Will Act FavorabIy on
Application to End Baseball
Troubles In California
cTIoN DISCUSSED AT MEETING
AT MEMPHIS


MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov. S.-The prac-
tical admission of the California State
league, an OUTLAW" circuit, to the Ma
tional Association of Major Leagues
and Minor Baseball Leagues was the
result of the first days session of the
national board of arbitration here to-
day. The board spent the day dis
cussing the terms under which the CAL
ifornians will be taken i'm.
j. Fl. Farrell, secretary of the Ma
tional association, and Frank Her.
mann, president of the California State
league, were appointed committee to
draw up the agreement under which
the new league is to be admitted. This
will be submitted to the national
board, and IL approved will go before
the entire association tomorrow for
final action.
j. Cal Ewing, president of the Pacific
Coast league, and Mr.. Hermann, in a
conference before the question was
submitted to the national board, de-
cided that the new league shall share
three cities with the Pacific Coast Or
ganization. Non-conflicting schedules
are to be fixed and San Francisco,
Oakland and Sacramento will have two
teams as a concession to get the Cali
fornians into the fold. This plan was
approved by the board.
Slx-Ciub Circuit
Stockton. Fresno and possibly San
Jose will be the other cities to make
up the siX-club circuit of the California
state league.
The title to sixty-one players will be
decided by the national board and the
title TO five players by the national
commission.
These players are either now under
contract to or on the reserve list of
some national agreement club, and
went with the California State league
while II was an OUTLAW" organization
1t is expected that the majority of these
cases will be decided without trouble,
but the national commission will have
to be called in on cases where major
league clubs are involved.
Majors Present Claims
Four National league clubs-Chicago,
Brooklyn, New York and Pittsburg-
have claims on players now in the
newly admitted league. Chicago has a
claim upon Outfielder Smith of Oak
land; Brooklyn has hold upon Pitcher
Stricklett of San Jose and Third Base
man Sheehan of Oakland; Pittsburg
has a reserve claim on First Baseman
Nealon of Oakland, while First Base
man Pyle of Stockton is wanted by
New York.
IL was decided tnat contract jumpers
must remain In the California State
league for four years, while those who
have broken their reserve clauses must
remain for two years When any of
these players are sold or drafted dur
ing the four years one-half the money
will go to the California State league
and the other half to the national as
ISOLATION. The minimum purchase. price
in these cases must equal the drafting
price. The new league will be ad-

POLY-HIGH GAME
WILL BEROUSER
OLD RIVALS TO PLAY AT FIESTA
TOMORROW
Crippled Condition of Poly, However
Gives Lads on Hill Hope of
Landing Hard-Earned
Victory

Polytechnic high school meets Los
Angeles high school in their annual
Rugby contest at Fiesta stadium, We'd
nesday, November 10. The game is to
be called promptly at 3 o'clock. This is
the first football game played between
the rival schools for several seasons
as a different style of ball was played
in each school until recently when the
school board ruled that Rugby should
be taken up by all local schools.
L. A. highs change from intercol-
legiate to Rugby has proven quite an
obstacle to their husky team. They
cannot down the old football tactics
on the field this first season, often re-
sorting to the forward pass and losing
opportunities. While it will be no
walk away for Polytechnic 1t should
win as that school has had three years
experience and a sound knowledge of
the game to back up their weight. Los
Angeles high depends on its old ball
heroes, Geissler and Harrigan, though,
perhaps, Dorne is their best yardage
gamer under the new rules.
Veterans at Poly
Polytechnic boasts of no single hero,
but upon the entire team. They have
in their ranks several Rugby veterans
who know the game from A to u,
among them are Price Swartz, Hen
erickson and Captain Manning. Their
main stay, however, is Monk" Pierce,
probably the best fullback in Southern
California. He also played full for the
Castaways here.
Excitement over the coming game
reigns supreme over studies at Poly
this week. There will be grand rallies
held Tuesday and Wednesday when
final arrangements will be made for
doing the thing up right.
The plans laid include a grand par
ade led by the school banner and \
brass band composed of the school
body. Kelly Mckenzie, a graduate of
Poly, will lead the band in true leader
style, dressed for the occasion, Fol-
lowing the band. will be three autos
bearing the team and coaches. Follow
ing the machines and led by Clyde
Potter, yell leader, will be the entire
school body en- masse. Such school
spirit has not been shown at Poly for
some time past.
The agitators of no more inter-
scholastic athletics because of lack of
spirit will probably change their opin-
ion after this game, especially as the
game will put the team high and dry
financially. Each loyal supporter of the
cause at the Washington street school
is supplying himself with an Afficial
badge, which consists of football
shaped pin bearing the single mono
gram p. To this is attached stream
ers of the Poly colors.
The football squad is not quite so
hilarious today. being in a sore condi-
ton from last Saturdays stiff drill

wheeler entered professional base
ball in 1889. He was working in mlll
in New England, somewhere in the
good state of New Hampshire. He had
been playing baseball two or three
times week and had attracted the at
tention of several of the profess
sional managers, for In those days
Wheeler had a superb arm and
was fast and a quick thinker. He
was signed by the Manchester team OF
New Hampshire, and from that team
he went to Bangor. Maine. Here his
Improvement brought him into national
repute and he affixed his signature to
a contract with the Philadelphia Ma
tional league team. All through 1896
1873 Wheeler was one of the pets of
the Philie fans. In the latter year
he was sold to the Rome team of the
New York state league, playing there
two years and then going to Syracuse
for a year. From Syracuse he came
west, playing out the season with Los
cisco, where he later was chosen to lead
the Seals. He played with San Fran
cisco up to last year, when he was
acquired by the Angels as utility man,
which position he now holds. Wheeler
Is one of the most valuable extra men
in the game. He can pitch a good
game, is careful and accurate judge
of outfield balls, a reliable hitter and
a dependable man in the infeld. In

loyal Angel fans who believe that
Wheeler is a splendid ball player share
heartily, and Ii is hoped Wheeler will
stay with the Angels as long as he
remains in the game.
The games score of the series just
closed with the Athletics is one in
which the Angels take pride. A total
of thirteen runs were made by the
fasteners off the Angels pitchers in
five games. In that time the Angels
scored five runs, two games being
shutouts. The scores follow. Wednes-
day, November 3, 2-1; Thursday Mo-
vember 4, 40 Friday, November s,
SO; Saturday. November 6, 10: sun
day. November I, 81. The Angels
won the first and last games of the
series. A review of the tabulated
scores shows that although the east
erners won, as they were doped to do
on form, three out of the five, they
had nothing on the locals as far as
the fielding was concerned Dillon's
statement on the second day, that with
the Athletics pitching staff the Angels
would beat them four out of five, seems
to be borne out. Here is just one
instance. The Angels stole six bases
off Donohue and Thomas, two of the
premier catehers of the big league
The Athletics stole four off Hughie
Smith, Orendorff and Easterley for the
locals. This is a small item but 1t is
mighty significant, for the Athletics
were strong in base running all last
season.
There is mail at this office for Frank
Bancroft, manager of the All-Nationals
baseball team, which opens with the
Angels tomorrow afternoon.

NOT FOR WASHINGTON

SEATTLE. Nov. S.-Bids for the JEFF
fries-Johnson fight sent to New York
from the state of Washington, are not
regarded seriously in this state, which
has never tolerated prize fighting, even
in pioneer days.
Last winter when the promoters
hoped to be able to give boxing exhi-
billions during the worlds fair 1t was
made clear to them that all the power
of the state would be used, If neces-
sary, to prevent the fights.
1t is doubtful if any state enforces
the law against prize fighting more
rigidly than Washington.
NEW YORK, Nov. IA telegram
from f. S. Williams of Bellingham,

others, providing he deposits $4,000 with

He had trained down fine for the fight,

Eddie Webster will press the matching
