NMERYVILLE will have little
NJ show of it's own tomorrow after
noon when the California derby
is to be run, but it is quite probable
that racegoers even in Frisco and Oak
land will be nearly as much interested
in the meeting of Jack Atkin and Rose
ben and the other sensational coast
sprinters in the Speed handicap at
Santa Anita as in the derby. The
derby race, of course is limited to
3year- -olds and hardly as much class
will be represented in the field tomor-
row at Oakland as will go to the post
at Santa Anita at the same moment.
However, there are classier 3-year- -old5
on the coast this season than was the
case last year and the derby should
result in a great race. The starters
named in the overnights proved some
thing of a surprise, as only five are
named to go to the post This num-
ber probably will be increased before
post time, but the small field already
named indicates that the Emeryville
crop of 3-year-olds is hardly to be
classed with that at Santa Anita. OF
the five starters named Joe Madden
and Lawton Virgins were shipped
from Santa Anita and will return after
the race. Fitz Herbert, considered the
best 3-year-old on the coast at the
derby distance is laid up with a
cracked hoof and Hildreth must de-
pend upon Joe Madden to deliver the
goods. Eddie Dugan went north last
night to ride him. Walter House be-
heves Lawton Virgins will show i'm
proved class in this race and he would
appreciate the honor and purse of the
derby. 1t will be another bitter pill
for the northern sports if Joe Madden
or Lawton Virgins should win.
Remember, everybody, that if the
weather permits, the baseball game be-
tween the All-Stars team, organized by
Happiness Hogan, and the Angels,
under the direction Of Cap Dillon, will
surely be played, and it will require
almost a steady dOWnpour to cause a
postponement. The game will begin
promptly at 1 o'clock and will be a high
class contest between two diamond gen.
erals who will be rivals throughout the
Coast league season, and it will be
worth going miles to see.

young business men of Los Angeles,

brigade. Charlie finds time to leave
business cares occasionally and he en-
joys nothing more than a trip to the
races. He dabbles in turf affairs, how
ever, merely for pastime, but manages
to make it a profitable dabbling, just
the same.

AccumuIators in storaqed Car

Q.-Please tell me the best thing to do
with the accumulators of a car that is
laid up. Should they be run down,
their acid poured away and filled with
distilled water, or should they be
drained and water filled without run
ming them down? Both batteries are
now showing over four volts. A. J. H.
A.-You can either run them down or
charge them fully, whichever is the
least trouble. Do not discharge them
too quickly. A safe method is to run
them down through a four-volt lamp.
Whether you charge them fully or run
them down, the after procedure is the
same. Empty all the acid and wash
out several times. When all traces of
the acid are removed fill up with dis
titled water Be very sure to vaseline
the terminals thoroughly in either
case

is capable rider, but seems disin-
clined to obey the officials.
T. J. Richardson, regarded as one of
the most expert handic&ppers in the
country, has arrived from New York
and will remain throughout the Santa
Anita season.
Ad Wolgast announced last night
that he and Manager Tom Jones had
dissolved partnership, and that in
future he would look after his own
matchmaking and business affairs. Ad
has confidence in his own ability to
make advantageous terms for his fights
and to hunt up profitable matches, so
thought he would ecOnomiZe by saving
the managers percentage. There is
no serious disagreement between them,
Wolgast saying that he decided to
make the move for economical reasons.
Abe Morris and Charlie Pettingill
drew in line at Santa Anita yesterday
when Gene Elrod opened the cut-in
lists. None Of the old guard drew out,
so the line was increased to twenty-six.
The big crowd gave all the bookies
about all they could do to handle the
change.
Smiley Corbett arrived yesterday
from Emeryville and will start in the
Speed handicap tomorrow afternoon
coupled with King James as the Hill
dreth & Cahill entry. Smiley was the
Jack Atkin Of the Emeryville sprinters
all season.
Jack McGinnis bought Hazelthorpe
out of the seventh race yesterday for
$780, bidding $400 more than the entered
price. McGinnis said early in the after
noon that he had decided to leave Mon
day night for home, but if he has
winning day tomorrow he probably will
change MS plans. He is big loser at
the meeting.
McGinnis is the chap who had the
nerve to talk back at August Belmont
in New York last fall when Belmont
insinuated that McGinnis had sent
Frank Gill to the post in a stake that
Belmont wanted to win, merely to in
terfere with Belmont's horse McGin-
mis- made things so lively for Belmont
that the turf czar in the east had to
explain to the stewards and then had
the stewards apologize to McGinnis
for him.

the sixth race yesterday, was disquali-

bankrolls for show money on Chilla,

Sam Hildreth wired for Jockey Nc
Carthy to come south at once to ride
one of his entry in the Speed handicap
tomorrow, and this probably means
that both horses will go to the post.
Happy Hogan yesterday received the
signed contract of Truck Egan, who
will play at short for the Vernon team.
Bateman, the Milwaukee pitcher that
Hogan signed up last week, wired for
transportation and will come to Los
Angeles at once. Hogan will go to
Frisco tomorrow night to look after a
couple of players that Danny Long
promised him. Long is trying to back
water on the deal now and Hap is
going to hold him to it if possible.

SEVENTH INNING
Local College Boys Do Not Lose Spirit
and in One Session at Bat
They Make Four

The ST. Vincent's baseball aggrega-
tion again showed its spirit yesterday
afternoon by taking the first intercol-
legiate game of the year from the Uni
versity of California nine by the score
of 5 to 8.
Although the score stood to 1
against them until the seventh inning
st. Vincent's never gave up that spirit
which has won them many games. 1t
was in this inning that the boys rallied
and with two timely two-b -baggers
brought in the much needed four runs.
The game, although lacking in sensa-
tional plays. was spectacular. Buckles,
who was on the. firing line for the
Saints, was effective at all times and
kept his hits well scattered. Two OF
the runs were made by y. of c. on er-
rors of the Saints
A we'll organized band of college
rooters, provided with everything from
a baby whistle to a church bell. was
greatly influential in securing the vic
tory, the boys often, by incessant noises
and yells, causing the pitcher for the
CALIFORNIA; to become nervous and lose
his control.
Shute, the locals second baseman,
played star game, accepting four diff
t1cult chances without a muff.
Anthony, California's shortstop, was
always in the game, and by his fast
work cut off a possible run from the
Saints in the seventh inning by throw
ing Shute out at home plate.

The first run for the Saints came In
the last of the fifth inning Callahan

rando sacrificed and O'Connor hit q
double to center, scoring Callahan.
In the sensational seventh, Gerald
Kennedy hit safely to left. O'Conner
forced him at second. Buckles and
Shute walked, filling the bases. Work
man hit to Meyers who threw wild to
the catcher, allowing O'Conner and
Buckles to score. Griff Kennedy was
safe on a fielder's choice, and Sullivan
doubled to center, scoring Workman
and Kennedy. Meyers, for California,
scored on a walk in the eighth, two
sacrifices and an error, by Ybrrando.

You can find Bitgoods a-plenty out
in Voluntown and all men of might
and muscle, but If you ask for the
real strong men of the town, every
one. from the oldest inhabitant to the
about three miles east of the village
to the farm of Elmer BitgoOd and his
brother Doane, whose pictures are
shown above, with the apparatus that
they use to support their claim to
be the strongest men in the world.
None of your trick lifts, you under
stand, but a straight back lift or put
ting up a. weight with your hands"
said Elmer, and Doane backed up his
brother, who is the older of the two
and the star performer at the lifting
game. The Bitgood boys had heard
there We're some weight filters, the
Apollo brothers, at the Broadway the
ater, and had dressed up in their store
clothes to come to town to see what
the Apollo brothers had to show. These
two rugged specimens of Voluntown
manhood, with long black hair, at
tracted considerable attention Wednes-
day on the streets as they fingered
around, waiting for the evening per-
fcrmance. They had been up to the
theater in the afternoon, but had not
tried the sack lift, Doane declaring
that the weight was nothing but a
plaything for him, but he couldn't be
induced to go on; thought he might
break up the show for the rest Of the
week, if he walked off with the sack.
While he wouldn't try Apollo's lift

ing game, he foxily invited the strong
man at the theater to come out for a
trial at the Bitgood game. This is
done with the apparatus shown in the
picture, the table being loaded with
five stones weighing 1900. Elmer then
gets underneath, puts his hands on the
small stool and raises the table three
or four inches with his shoulders, low
ering it gently back to place Then,
if the visitor wants to see something
more, he has a stone as big as a small
automobile, weighing 2,400, which they
roll upon the table, and that is hoisted
in the same way. All this for a very
moderate consideration. Then he has
two stone barbells, the heaviest $50
pounds, which he will put up over his
head, one at a time, and finish up with
a one-hand feat in which he holds at
arms length a stone weighing $50
pounds, and Will also lift it with his
little finger put through a ring in the
stone.
All the weights lifted are guaran-
teed, Doane says. by a committee of
his townsmen, who weighed them on a
pair of new scales and marked the
weights, so that there can be no mis-
take. Elmer, who is about Is, weighs
from 900 to 900, when feeling just
right, but Doane, who is about 23,
comes nearer his fathers weight.

TRADERS PUZZLED
BY Mysterious Movements in Stocks of
the Lower Class.

New York, May 6.-The professional
traders in stocks were puzzled to know
what was going on in the market to-
day under cover of the striking move
mentS in number of stocks of the
lower class. 1t was this uncertainty
that prompted the curtailmeat Of op-
erations and the shrinkage in the vol
ume Of the market, which is apparent
from the total number OF shares sold
during the day. Attention was focused
on the industrial stocks and sudden
advances were made in q great varie
~ of these, some Of which have not
appeared in the tape records for a long
time previously. Diversion Of activity

bilities in the more substantial kinds

Of the movement yesterday The bulk
of today's business, nevertheless, was
done at a level of prices above last
night, in contrast with the positive de-
preston caused by yesterdays opera
tons. These advances were not mark
ed at any time, and there was a con-
slant wavering in the price level WHICH
reflected the uncertain tone of the
speculation The sharp rise in the low
priced stocks had its inception in the
group Of metal industriaIs, including
various companies making secondary
use of steel such as the railroad
equipment companies and The copper,
lead and smelling stocks. The def
mite development Of favorable charac-
ter in the metal trades made the back
bone of this movement and various
rumors We're current The asking
price of copper was advanced and
some large sales Of refined conner were
reported made in the last few days.
The forthcoming report of the copper

statistics Is expected to show the eff

according to ruInors, of an actual re-
duction of surplus stocks of copper
