driver can scarcely see, it takes nerve
to handle a truck of that size without
a culver. Then, too, there Is the ex-
element of the fire and knowing that
a great deal depends on getting there
without mishap.
To make it harder, traffic in the dis
trict about Fourteenth street Is thick.
In Broadway and about Union square
the turns are short and irregular; the
driver is likely to find a heavy cart
waiting juStf ar enough from the curb
to be caught by the hub, or, in case of
a skid, to cause a total wreck. Lynch
never slows down at all, and the risks
he takes are enough to make even the
oldest of the men hold their breaths.
Training the Firemen
Part of Jerry's work has been to
train the firemen, so that they will be
able to run the truck after he has
gone, He goes back to the car factory
in two days, and then his pupils will
take charge. Two men have been tried
out and made good so far-Yarrow and
White-but none of them thinks that
any one can ever run No. ~ as Jerry
runs it, Since the motor came, the
horse truck has not been out of the
station; the new machine has answered
more than fifty calls.
Giving up the horses meant a great
deal to the firemen. That the truck
should have won their affection, IL
it may be described thus, should have
really supplanted the animals, is sur
prising. This feeling has been caused
by the novelty of the thing-and by
Jerry Lynch. The men are as inter-
crested in the car as the most affection
ate driver ever was in his team of bays
or grays. This morning, while jerry
was tinkering with a gear, he had a
group of spectators three deep, talking
in uncertain way about water jack
cts, spark plugs, carbureters. radiators
and the rest of the approved jargon.
The captain was there; Chief Croker
and his chauffeur came in and Joined
the oniookers. If you could have read
the minds of most of the men, 1t is
probable you would have found that
they were thinking of some time hold
ing the wheel that Jerry Lynch held
lust as the ordinary chauffeur pictures
himself Tracy, Robertson. or a
Strang. =.
I'VE don't want to knock the horses"
they all said, "but the trucks the trick.
When all the other companies see US
making it first to every fire, all this
talk about not wanting motors will
stop. / guess Jerry will be back soon
at some other station, and he will win
the men there, too."-New York Even
ing Post.

BOOK C UPHELD
IN TEST CASE
KENTUCKY COURTS DECIDE IN
THEIR FAVOR
RULE AGAINST ORDER OF RACING
COMMISSION
Decree That Act Creating Body to
Control Racing Gave 1t No
Authority to Regulate
Manner of Betting
[By Associated Press. ]

COVINGTON, KY, March 22.-Judge
Harbeson today rendered his decision
in the noted case of the Latonia Jockey
club against the Kentucky racing
commission, holding that the law es-
tablishing the commission is uncon-
stitutional. The effect of the decision
is to place Latonia racing back to It's
former basis.
Judge Harbeson held that the law
creating the Kentucky racing commits
sion gave that body power to regulate
running races; that ,trotting races and
running races came under the same
legal category and that, therefore, the
law is class legislation and unconst1tu-
tional. The court, in other words, held
that the law to be valid must give the
racing commission specific authority
over both trotting and running races.
The decision is a complete victory for
the Lsatonia Jockey club. The racing
commission had insisted that Latonia
use mutuel machines. Latonia put in
these machines, but said they were
run at a financial loss and then all
lowed bookmakers to operate. The
club secured court injunction pre-
venting the racing commission from
interfering with the races while book
makers were operating last season.
The commission will appeal.

of over feet inches. In the pole
vault he shut out Mum and Maddox
of u. G. at IL feet, while Barnes can
do more than 10 feet 6 inches. Mer-
riam Is a possible record breaker in the
low hurdles also. Barnes and Garrison
will be the principal entries in the
weights for Pomona preparatory.
While the preparatory school Is lit
tie weak in the long runs, likely
bunch OF youngsters in the sprints and
middle distance events are out, and
their winnings in these numbers on the
program, according to the Claremont
dope sheets, will be sufficient for them
to put it over the Hill boys efforts for
the meet.
The fine showing the Los Angeles
high school team made against Poly
technic last Saturday places them on
an equal showing against the Clare
mont track squad, although Geissler Is
expected by the hilltop students to win
the 100-yard dash, Mcclure is expected
to capture the 440-yard dash, while e.
B. Hall will make a good showing in
the pole vault event.

One of the classiest meets in inter-

addition to a uniformly strong team,
the Congregational lower school has
some athletes that are sure to make
some of the records totter
Bobby" Sturgeon, the Pomona
preparatory sprinter, who was incapac-
itated from entering the recent Po-
mona University of California meet by
fall from library window, has re-
covered from his injuries.
Spurgeon has stepped into the shoes
of his brother, Will Spurgeon, holder
of two Southern California dash rec
ords. He has done the century sprint
in 10 is seconds; and shows signs OF
cutting his time down to that of Sloane,
Pomona colleges phenomenal sprinter,
10 seconds fiat.
Lee Wire, another sprinter, is after a
Southern California record in the same
event. In recent meet against Red
lands high school, in which the pre-
paratory athletes led the Redlands
youths throughout, he made the hun
bred yards dash in 10 seconds. There.
however the record probably will not
stand, as it is reported he was helped
by slight breeze and the down grade
of the Redlands track. Since that time,
however he has made the same time in
practice on the straightaway of the Po-
mona alumni field track. Wire suffers
from an inability to always get away
on the crack of the gun. but the battle
between Spurgeon and Wire of Pomona
and Rubio and Geissler of the Hill
