HEAVY RACING CARS
DAMAGE GOOD ROADS
Committee VIII Conduct Tests to Dis
prove charges-Further Assess
ment of Auto owners Con-
tempIated in New York

NEW YORK, May 5.--George g.
Diehl of Buffalo, who is chairman of
the good roads board of the American
Automobile association, has been in
structed by that body to name sub
committee and proceed with thorough
tests of motors on roads.
This action was taken at a meeting
of the executive committee of the asso-
citation when attacks on the automobile
were discussed. The executive commit
tee considered questions that motors
and particularly heavy racing cars did
many thousands of dollars damage to
public roads. These charges have been
part of an agitation to further assess
automobile owners for road repairs.
Mr.. Diehl and his committee will
select a public road in the vicinity of
New York as soon as possible, and per
haps in June the unique tests will be
made. The tests will continue for
about month and every kind of car
in all kinds of conditions will be put
over the course.
Experts will watch the effects on the
roads.

FERGUSON ON PARIS
WAY TO FIGHT JOE
If Sandy Defeats Jeannette He viii
Mix Up Heavyweight Situa-
ton in England and
France

NEW YORK, May 5.-Sandy Fergu-
son, who was given 12-round draw
with Sam Lahgford last week in Bos-
ton, is on his way to Paris to fight Joe
Jeanette, it was announced last night.
Ferguson apparently has anticipated
Langford and Jim Barry, who also are
on their way to Europe and who ex-
pected to make arrangements for con-
tests with Jeanette. who recently de-
feated Sam MeVey in 49-round fight
in Paris.
Immediately after his fight with
Langford, Feguson received cable
gram from a French promoter Offering
him a 20-round contest with Jeanette
In Paris May Is. Ferguson accepted
the offer, said nothing about it to any
one, and sailed as quickly as possible.
When Langford sailed from New
York a few days ago he said If he de-
feated Ian Hague, the new English
heavyweight champion, May "a he viii
go Immediately after Jeanette. If Fer
guson defeats Jeanette he will mix up
the heavyweight situation in England
and France to a puzzling degree. He
wants to fight the winner of the Long
ford-H Hague fight and also is anxious to
force Jack Johnson into a mix-up
either in London or Paris.

MAY FORM A. A. u.
BASEBALL LEAGUE
Movement Is Launched at Meeting
to Permit High School Play
ers to Appear in Sun-
day Ranks

There is a prospect that an amateur
A. A. u. baseball league will be formed
in Los Angeles shortly. A movement
In this direction was started at the
meeting of the Southern California
branch of the Amateur Athletic union
last night and If the plans carry 1t
is the purpose of the commission to
foster Sunday amateur ball among the
various teams in Southern California
who are playing in the miscellaneous
ranks at present. In San Francisco this
body has sixteen teams in two sepa-
rate amateur organizations and regular
scheduled games are played on the va
rious diamonds and In out-of-town
cities Sunday mornings and afternoons.
Any team can apply for an amateur
card providing that at the end of the
league series a pennant trophy or BAN
quet, instead of cash prizes, is given to
the winning aggregation.
The purpose of organizing this league
is to permit the pitchers and catchers
of both the high schools and colleges
teams to play ball on Sunday and
not be professionalized for doing so.
A motion was carried at this meeting
last night to appoint a committee of
five residents of Southern California
eonversant with the Sunday baseball
situation and as chairman of this COM
inittee President c. B. Raitt appoint
ed John Brewer. Other members to
complete the committee will be an
nounced later. President Raitt stated
before adjournment that he was pleased
to have the opportunity to foster Sun
day amateur baseball. DR.. Summers of
Pomona college, DR.. Beach of the Los
Angeles high school and Prof. Franklin
of the Los Angeles Athletic club also
spoke In favor of this movement.
George Braden said that although he
was opposed to Sunday baseball per-
sonally he did not see why such a
league should not be organized in

Today will see the windup of hard

The second meeting of the two men

Ting, at least as sensational as their
last meeting. If they live up to their
preliminary statements, the bout will
not last the limit, and one Of the boys
will take the long count which spells
defeat. Both look good, both have
worked faithfully, the betting is even
money and 1t is a tossup, though on
his class many pick the Bohemian to
win. Picato, however, has many sup
porters, and will not lack adherents
when he shakes hands with George
Interest in the contest is gaining as
the date for the bout approaches, in
dieating that there will be a great
crowd in attendance, as this is the
first time in six weeks that the fans
have had the opportunity of seeing
some fast scrapping by the near-cham-
pions. The preliminaries are of a good
order Each of the scraps will be well
worth seeing; in fact, Secretary Han
cock has been considerably disturbed
over the arrangement for the order of
these contests. as it is hard to figure
which of them should have precedence.
Joe Reilly is training hard at Doyle's
camp. He wants to make a good inn
preston on the fans when he re-enters
the ring at Maud Junction. Reilly,
when right, was one of the best second
rate scrappers in the business, and he
will endeavor to fight his way up again.
Rogers is a tough customer for Reil-
ly's second debut. All did so well when
he met Willie Mack that he will be
given a good chance in the contest
with Reilly, who will be several pounds
lighter.

hSBPITE poor car service, Henry
Berry's opening of Coast league
= ball in Pasadena yesterday in the
Angel Sacramento game at Tourna-
ment park can be set down as sue
cess. The game was an interesting one,
and a good crowd, considering the
drawbacks encountered, appeared to
see the coasters go through their mo-
lions under the shadows of the slopes
of the Sierras and close to the shade
of spreading live oaks that dotted the
far outfield. Nearly 1000 Pasadenans
turned out, and considering the short
time the game was advertised TINS
was a good showing, demonstrating
Berry's contention that the game would
draw in Pasadena. A second game VIII
pull a big gathering, with cars running
at shorter intervals. This does not
mean that games will be frequently
transferred to the mountain town. In
fact, Berry has nothing definite to say
concerning this matter. Another con-
test may follow later in the season, but
Berry has shown himself alive to the
demands of the national sport at least
in thus permitting the out-of-town sup
porters to see the teams in action on
their home diamond.

business every day. They care for

They arise at 4:90 every morning and

two and a half miles to the station.
In addition to all this they get out
one acre of strawberries last spring,
which they with the help of a bow
cared for this summer. / recen, !

As preparations are now in order
for lands aes:51ca for next years or
chard, the first consideration should
be selection o IA site. Air drainage is
absolutely essential to success and
land somewhat higher than the sur
rounding country is advisable. A high
hill having a northern or northeast
ern slope is the first selection; after
that northwestern or any hill slope.
A low, sheltered location should on no
account be chosen.
Be sure TO have plenty of winter
rye left to feed in the spring in May
and the first of June, before the pas
lures get flush, because if the pas
lures are fed too snugly early they
will be short all the season. By some
such method as this a good flow Of
milk is secured and the grain bill is
largely reduced, two things of great
Importance in farm economy.

comparatively small proportion is
raised by the fancier, we must admit
that the utility class has its place.
