PROCEEDINGS Of THE COUhlY CUURl.
Who. why and the Cost to Those That
Stood Before the Judge.
Burgess Wood was before
Judge Miller in the County
Court on Thursday and
pleaded guilty to the charge
of selling blackberry wine
and plum wine, and was fined
$500 and the cost. He also
plead guilty to the charge OF
selling the same goods on
Sunday and to minors. In
this case judgment was sus~
pended to be pronounced at
the pleasure of the court.
Henry Smith, colored, was
up for beating a negro wo~
man with a piece of plank,
about four feet long, two
inches wide and one inch
thick, and, judging by the
plank which was exhibited in
the trial, he treated her pref
ty roughly. But Henry
proved a good character, and
it was shown that the woman
was a bad one, who has been
following the double-track~
ing camps from place to place,
and had used some ugly LAM
guage to Henry. Judge Mill
Ter would not dispose Of the
case until he could learn her
condition.
Early~risers, on coming up
West Bank street, Sunday
morning, found a trail Of
blood on the pavement which
ended at the gate Of DR..
Councils residence, and was
found upon following it up
that it led back up to Main,
down Main to Council, and
thence to the restaurant Of
Charles Chames, a Greek,
who does business between
Main and Lee streets. Moth
ing much could be learned
about it Sunday, but in the
county court Monday morning
Robert Duncan and Charles
Chames were up for an af~
fray, and it was shown that
Duncan went into the Greeks
place on Saturday night and
raised a row about some tools
which he claimed he had left
there. He became so obstrep-
orous that an officer was sent
for and he went away, but
afterwards came back and
renewed the row and slapped
atthe Greek, who then struck
him in the face with a bottle,
which broke, cutting Dun~
can severely on the nose and
face, He was Utterly covers
ed with sticking plaster when
he appeared in court, but did
not appear to be seriously
hurt. They were fined $500
each, and the cost was di~
vided equally between them
There was another case
against Duncan for disorders
ly conduct, to which he plead
guilty and fined was S.. 0O
and cost.
Charles Brown was fined
$40. 90 aud cost for disorderly
conduct.
John Donaldson was fined
$500 and cost on a similar
charge.

Lindsay Young, two young
negroes, plead guilty to an
ARRAY. Mitchell was fined
$1,000 and cost, and Young
was let off fur e.. ..ld cost.
John Gilmore was charged
$500 and cost for disorderly
conduct.
Chas Brown, who was fined
$1,000 and cost on Monday,
was sent to the roads for 80
days, having failed to pay up.
Sam Trull was found guilty
on the charge Of assault with
deadly weapon and judgment
was supended.
Van Lindsay Young, who
was fined $500 for his part of
an affray with Luico Mitch>
ell, had his reduced to $3.50

POSSIBLE DEFEAT
AMERICAN LEAGUE PRESIDENT
LACKS MAJORITY
DEADLOCK IMMINENT AT ANNUAL
ELECTION TODAY
Tom chivington of Louisville Club Is
His Most Serious Rival - Dark
Horse May Get Plum as
Compromise
Associated Pressl

CHICAGO, 'Dec 2s.--The annual
meeting OF the American Baseball as
sociation tomorrow promises to de-
velop a lively battle over the election
of a new president. A majority of the
magnates arrived today.
As far as could be aseertained there
will be a deadlock on the first ballot
for president. although an unexpeet-
ed break may clear the clouds. An
informal canvass, gave Joseph ID.
O'Brien. the incumbent, three votes;
Tom Chivington, secretary of the
Louisville club. apparently has three
votes pledged. and one doubtful one
that may fall his way.
There is a chance that there will be
Il deadlock between O'Brien and ChiV-
ington, and that the election of a dark
horse will win. Thus far no COM
promise candidates have been named.
President O'Brien said: Il am al
most certain Chiyington cannot swing
enough votes to be elected. If l am
beaten. It will be by some other man
and one favored by Toledo and Colum
bus. as those two clubs apparently
hold the balance of power. ! am
standing on my record of the last hVe
years, and think 1 deserve reelection

Citations will meet January II at Bos-

CRACK MARATHON
RACERS TO MEET
MITCHELL AND HATCH EN-
TERED IN VENICE EVENT
Holds Record Over This Course and
Stands Second Only to Hatch,
Holder of Amateur
Mark

Thomas Mitchell, who won the ST.
Louis Times Marathon race in the
fast time of 2:4S, for the full dis
tance, has joined the Los Angeles
Athletic club and will run in the clup'
colors in the Venice Marathon, to be
contested Washington birthday
The addition of Mitchell to the club
ranks greatly strengthens its chance
of again winning this event, as his
record stands second only to that OF
Sidney Hatch, of 2:44 1-2, made III
Chicago. Hatch will come to the coast
to compete in the Venice event and
this fact makes it a greater attraction
than ever and these rivals for anna
teur Marathon honors will have the
opportunity of definitely deciding who
is the better racer.
Mitchell holds the record over the
Venice short course, which he covered
in 1:371-2, and on Christmas day he
won the annual Mount Wilson climb
promoted by the athletic club.

NEW YORK, Dec. 28.-The Intercol-
legiate Athletic association adopted and
submitted to its rules committee to-
night a resolution calling for modifi-
cation Of the football playing rules TO
reduce the injury to contestants to a
minimum. Tht resolution, which was
introduced bv Prof T.. X. Hall OF
Dartmouth and adopted after three
hours of acrimonious discussion, FOL
lows:
''That the football rules committee of
this association be instructed TO use
every possible endeaVOr to bring ABOUT
such a modification of the rules as III
their Judgment shall tend to reduce TO
n minimum the danger of physical in
Jury to players and at the same time
retain as far as possible the most De
sirahle and wholesome features of the
game
only three votes were registered
against the resolution, but nearly every
college in the west had something TO
saw concerning it,
Prof A. Alonzo A. Stagg of the
University of Chicago made motion
that would prohibit all officials OF a
football game, including umpires, rel
erees and participants, from talking to
n newspaper man after the game. Stasg
made a strong appeal for this notion
saving that he had been grossly mis-
quoted at times, but the convention de-
feated the motion by an overwhelming
vote.
The revision of the game was or
dcred. it is understood, with due con-
sideration of the association of Yale
Princeton, Pennsylvania, Cornell ana a
few other institutions that are not
members of the intercollegiate organ
ization. Harvard has Joined the asso-
citation. but it's representative let 1t be
known that this institution would not
he bound bv the new football rules Of
the association, although it would rec
ognize its regulation of other minor
sports. CO..
A letter was read from David starr
Jordan nresident of Leland Stanford
university, stating that the American
game had been abandoned there ana
that the English Rugby game had peen
found satisfactory, not only 10 the
students but to the spectators.
West Point submitted set of resolu-
Los Angeles herald., 1909-12-29

tions calling for a radical change in
the playing rules. but this with other
resolutions. was substituted by the res
olution by Mr. Hall of Dartmouth.
1t became apparent that the larger
colleges were in favor of the present
playing rules, perhaps in modified
form, and that smaller institutions
were violently opposed to them. The
representative of nearly every institu-
tion of higher learning between New
York and san Francisco made an ad-
dress, and many offered motions that
would limit the danger Of the present
football These offerings became so
confused that Halls resolution was
adopted a s a compromise.
Representatives from Cornell and
other institutions not directly repre-
scented i'm the convention suggested
that rules minimizing the danger OF
the sport would be acceptable. 1t was
the consensus of opinion that rules
regulating mass plays and the running
tackle otherwise known as the lying
tackle and playing through the line
would have to be abandoned. Repre-
sentatives of a number Of large coll
leges expressed themselves not only
in favor of this, but conveyed the
threat that they would adopt either
modified form of football or would
withdraw from the association.
Officers of the association were
elected as follows:
Captain Palmer f. Pierce, L. s. NJ,
A., West Point, president; DR.. r.. I.
Mckenzie. University of Pennsylvania,
vice president; Prof. r. w Nicholson,
Wesleyan college, Conn, secretary and
treasurer. Executive committee: Prof

a. II. Peterson, University of North
Carolina: c. w. Savage, Oberlin, Ohio;

souri,.

dertake the task of bringing about a
revision follows: DIR. II. F. Williams,
Minnesota; DR.. James A. Bubbitt,
Haverford, Penn; z. X. Hall, Dart
