Bill Reidy's Oaklanders, with their

to the games tune of to l, stormed
the Vernon battlements yesterday ana
carried them along the line. The at

line to the front, was successful from
the first charge, and the Hoganltes
were routed completely. Two new

The only thing that looked like OLD

their series against first division teams,
it was a genuine love feast until the

Oakland gave Roy Hit hard slam

opened UP in the fourth with four runs
made from bunch of hits, including
double and home run, the latter nego--

Kelly in ahead Of him. Duffy had the
home run habit yesterday, for he sent
the ball over the fence again in the
ninth inning. One more in the sixth,
two in the eighth and one in the final
spasm sent the northerners shooting
safely into the lead. Vernon got four
runs all told, but they were so badly
scattered that they looked lost on the
score board. The locals started off
well enough for Coy drove StoYau over
the plate by hammering Boice for
double in the first inning, but Hogan's
men failed to stand the pace set by
the visitors.
In the eighth after he had walked

for Roy is a hot weather pitcher and
the cool breezes found him unsteady.
He had the speed, but was wild and

HUNTER IS CHARGED
WITH KILLING DOE
Game Commissioner Pritchard Arrests
Local Auto Dealer-Trial Is Set for
September "a Before Judge,
Summerfeld

William Ruess, a Los Angeles auto
mobile dealer, was arrested yesterday
bp H. l. Pritchard, Deputy state fish
and game commissioner, charged with
killing a female deer, on or about July
16. Ruess pleaded not guilty and was
released on $3.50 bell. His trial was set
for 10 o'clock Friday morning, Sep
tember "a, before Judge Summerfield.
After several weeks of investigation
of rumors to the effect that the hunt
ing party, of which Ruess was a men,
ber, had killed one or more does, Com
missioner Pritchard has at last sue
ceeded in accommodating what he be-
lieves to be the most sufficient EVIL
dence to warrant an arrest. The party,
composed of Roy and Daley Nash of
Calabasas and Hammond, Erington,
Cheesborough and Ruess of Los An
geles, left the Angel city the first of
the open season for deer, going into the
hills near Calabasas.
The officer declares that several hunt
ers who visited the camp reported hav-
ing seen the doe alleged to have been
killed by Ruess, and these witnesses
will, he says, be introduced by the
state. Not only has Mr.. Pritchard Sc
cured witnesses, but he says he has
succeeded in digging up the head of the
doe, which will be brought into court
as evidence.
The Ruess party succeeded in getting
FIVE deer, four of which are believed
to have been bucks. Ruess claims that
no deer was shot by him and that the
five killed by the other members Of the
party, were all males.
This is the second case of alleged un-
lawful deer killing which has been
brought to the attention of the state
authorities during the present season.
In the former instance a man was
heavily fined for unwittingly killing a
doe in the mountains near San Der
nardino.

IETHEN FRANK ABBOT and his
w Directories journeyed to Covina

w DIRECTORIES Joufneyed 10 CoNilit
Sunday, it was with the eXpec-
tation Of defeating the crack san
Felice nine. The Directory team lost
by one tally. It is a deplorable fact
that the Directory manager attributes
his defeat rather to foul play and dirty
work than to superior playing. He even
goes so far as to advise all teams from
playing at Covina for he believes that
1t is impossible to get square DEAL
To all stories there are, however, TWO
sides and the tale of the Directory
San Felice game is no expection, Fol-
lowing is Abbot's statement: be-
lieve that the San Fellce team should
be expelled from the Interurban Base
ball league. Their playing was an
exhibition of dirty work from t1rst 10
last. Several spectators were allowed
on the coaching line and Covert did the
coaching at third in a civilians suit
Graham, San Felice, stood behind me
several times and threw clouds of dirt
on me. In the eighth inning Covert LED
a bowling bunch to within ten feet OF
the third base line attempting to ward
of a certain defeat. In the ninth In
ming with the score 8 to in our favor,
Bat Fairly, an umpire, and incidentally
a substitute player for Covina, called a
man safe at second who was out by
at least two feet. Several times / be-
lleved the Covina mob would resort to
violence"
But enough of this. Suffice that some
action will probably be taken at the
league meeting this evening and that
Covert will stoutly defend not only the
actions of his team but Of the home
fans.

JOYETTE WINNER OF
TAFT SONDER TROPHY
Ellen Is Defeated In Final Race and
Becomes Possessor of Cup
Offered by Governor
Draper

MARBLEHEAD, Mass. Sept. 7.-As
a result of the final race Of the Ger
man-American sender classe series to-
day, the President Taft cup was won
by the Joyette, owned by Commander
w. H. Childs of the Bensonhurst club
of Brooklyn. The Governor Draper cup
goes to the Ellen, owned by Charles
H. Curtis of the Eastern Yacht club.
The Hevella, survivor of the challeng-
ing yachts, was eliminated through her
defeat yesterday.
The race was a slashing one in which
the Joyette proved to be so much the
faster on windward work that the
better qualities of the Ellen on dead-on
end runs were not sufficient to permit
her to cross the finish line in first place.

LOWELL RACES ARE
CONTINUOUS THRILLS
Series of Mile straiehtaway Speed
Trials Held over Merrimac Valley
Circuit Produce More Excte-
ment Than Glass

LOWELL, Mass, Sept. 7.-Although
arranged only as a filler between yes
terdays national small car competi-
tions and tomorrow's 31S-mile stock
chassis event, the series of mile
straightaway speed trials held today
over the Merrimac valley circuit proved
to be one of continuous thrills.
While no records were broken, one
was established by Barney Oldfeld.
His time of 81 1-5 seconds for milo
with standing start, made in Benz
(German) machine of 120-horsepower,
will be the first official record for such
an event in American automobile rae
ing annals.
Aside from Oldfield's feats, the con-
sistent driving of Louis Chevrolet, win
ner OF yesterdays 159-mile small car
race, was noteworthy. In the nine
events OF the day he was started in
five, winning two firsts, two seconds
and one third in his Buick machine.

DISCOVER might RIDING"

NEW YORK, Sept. 7.-Through the
arrest of two men at Sheepshead Bay
race track the owners of race horses
declare they have discovered a re-
vival OF the old system of might rid
ing" Ostend, a 2-year-old race horse
belonging TO Walter S. House, was
taken from his stable Sunday night
and ridden on the yearling training
track to the point of exhaustion, so
that when he was led to the paddock
to start in the race for which he was
prime favorite he was utterly un-
fit to run. 1t is said that a large
amount of money had been bet against
the horse winning the race. The prac-
tice was common a few years ago on
western and Canadian tracks, and II
has been attempted here, but with
only varying success. Extra guards
have been placed about all stables at
the Sheepshead Bay track.

Curley was tired in this round, but

by putting Sullivan down by a right

fought at a furious pace. Two more
knockdowns were scored by Sullivan
and the bell again saved Curley. who
was on his feet but very tired, and

Sullivan staggering to his corner, with
Curley the stronger.
In the eighth, shortly after the open>
