BOX SPRINGS HILL CLIMB
POSTPONED UNTIL SPRING
Thanksgiving Not Good Time to Hold
Event Account of Probable Rain,
and March Is Better

RIVERSIDE. Nov. 10.-The Box
Springs hill climb, for four years one
of the motor classics Of this section,
will not be feature of Thanksgiving
this year. Instead the local manage
ment announces that it has been de-
cided to postpone the event until some
time in spring and hold the meet reg
ularly at that season of the year.
The experience of the past four
years has been that Thanksgiving is
not apt to furnish a good brand of
weather, being either cold or rainy or
both. The latter part of March is re-
garded as the best season of the year
for a meet, as balmy weather blue
skies and good roads are almost as
sured at that time.
The plans contemplate making the
next hin climb one of the most notable
SO far held and with improved road
conditions it is thought that the course
of three and eight-tenths miles can be
covered in four minutes fiat. The fast
est time ever made was by a Stoddard-
Dayton, in 5:21h. on Thanksgiving
day in 1907 Paul Derkum went over
the course on a motorcycle the same
year in 5:21.

NO RACING NEXT SUNDAY OF
MOTORCYCLES AT COLISEUM

Coliseum motorcycle track will be
dark" the coming Sunday because of
the unfortunate news that came from
the east yesterday to the effect that the
marvelously fast Merkel racer, ridden
by Stanley Kellogg throughout the
summer on the eastern circuit, will not
reach here in time to permit Paul Der
kun to ride it against Jake de Roster.
Last Sunday Jack Prince issued chal-
lenge to De Roster, in the name of Der
KUN, thus announcing Derkum's unex
pected return to the racing game after
he had decided to quit the saucer track
forever. The name of Derlum's racer
was not announced purposely, for the
reason that it was generally known
that he would not hook up with the
Reading Standard machine this year,
and speculation was rife as to what
machine he would substitute by means
of which he might hope to defeat the
redoubtable Frenchman, De Roster, on
his Indian racer
Prince had quietly arranged for the
Merkel which Kellogg had already
proven to be the fastest of it's name
plate ever turned out by~the factory,
and 1t was expected that the machine
would come through by express in time
for Sundays races. Failure to get the
Merl1el off in time has resulted in a
to both Derl1um and
the coliseum management. and it has
been decided that it would be far better
to allow a Sunday to elapse before pull
ing off another meet rather than to
disappoint the public by pitting a slow
er machine against De Roster. When
Kellogg's machine arrives it is conf
IDENTIFY predicted that Derkum will
have a racer every whit as fast as De
Rosters, in which case there are thou
sands of local fans who believe that
Derlxum will give Jake a round trim
ming. Derkum and De Roster have al
ways proven to be the best cards ever
offered by the Coliseum management,
and their race week from Sunday will
result in the biggest crowd of the sea-
son.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 10.-Ow
Yang Gun of the On Yick tong and d
cousin to- the Chinese acting consul
was shot and killed tonight as he came
from the club house of his tong by
of the Yee family, with whom
the On Yick tong is at war.
On the mute testimony of a bright
eyed Chinese baby the police arrested
Yee Yum, said by them to be one of
the most redoubtable members Of the
Yees and sure shot with a revolver.
Five men, said to be of the Yee fam
lily, lay in wait for Ow Yang Gun.
When he was within ten feet of
them, although Policeman Saemann
was standing near by in the narrow
street, ore of the men fired point
blank at the victim. Ow Yang Gun
turned to flee, but fell as q second
bullet crashed into his back.
The five scattered, pursued by the
policeman and two detectives who had
heard the shots. Saemann singled out
Yee Yum, whom he said he saw fire
the second shot.
Chasing him into q lodging house the
policeman clattered up the stairs ana
entered a room, where he found Yee
Yum, apparently asleep, beside wide
awake Chinese baby that seemed about
TO cry.
Despite the protest of the man, who
was fully dressed. that he had been
in bed some time he was arrested
and is held on a charge of having
murdered his countryman.
Victim Dies Quickly
Ow Yank Gun was dead before the
ambulance reached the receiving hos
pital. The police are securing China
town tonight in a search for the other
members of the Yee family who are
said to have been present at the time
of the staying.
This is the third death in the pres
ent tong war which had its beginning
when Be Cue, wife of an On Yick
tongman. eloped with Yee Get Quong.
Two members of the Yee family have
been killed and it Is asserted by the
police that at a meeting of the Yee
family it was voted to take triple toll
of life for their dead.
The killing of Ow Yank Gun is be-
lieVed to be the first of the six deaths
that have been decreed and Chief of
Police Cook has doubled the already
augmented force that patrols the alleys
of the local Chinese quarter.
The present war, the police believe,
will spread throughout the coast cities
and the staying Of a Chinese in Noun
tain View tonight is said by them to
be another murder growing out of Be
Cues elopement.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Nov. 10
Fourteen men were killed and nine
seriously injured, Of whom three may
die, in head-on collision on the Inter
urban line of the British Columbia
electric railway company at Lake
View station early today.
The dead and injured were passen-
gers and crew on a car which left the
Vancouver station at $3.50 o'clock for
New Westminster.
The majority of the men were en-
ployes of the railway company on their
way to work at the New Westminster
car chops. Not a man of the twenty
three on the car escaped death or in
jury.
The accident was caused by the
breaking of a draw bar on an east
bound fiat car heavily loaded with
big timbers and lumber This car, sud-
denly released was soon plunging
headlong down the grade toward the
outward bound passenger car. Within
two minutes the cars met.
AS if they had been creased, the
heavy timbers on the fiat car, some of
them a foot thick, were hurled through
the passenger coach, sweeping away
almost every vestige of the car body
between the roof and the floor.
Propelled by the lefrlHc Iorce, lHS
timbers shot clear through the car,
moving down every man in their path,
and finally plunged to the ground at
the rear end of the coach.
The roof of the car, broken and torn,
but still holding together, fell over
the jumbled mass of humanity that re-
mained on the floor near the rear end
of the car.
Into this the first men to the rescue
had to plunge in their search for the
dead and the few who remained alive.
Cropping around in the darkness the
rescurers pulled body after body out
of the wreck, a few living, but the
majority dead or past human aid.

designated as Telephone Night"
BY arrangement other clubs that de-

The only requirement is that the sched-
ule committee must be assured that at
least eight teams will be on hand. If
desired, ten teams, or even twelve. pos
sibly, might be accommodated, bud
handled.
The entries continue to flow in for
the STAR tournament. The list has
grown to such proportions. indeed, that
it will probably be found necessary be-
fore long TO close 1t. Those teams which
have been withholding their entries
would do we'll to get in line or they
may be disappointed.
The STAR desired to give every pin
knight a chance to bowl, but the roll
ing must necessarily be done within o
limited period. and it Is not possible to
obtain the alleys every night In the
week. Therefore the number of teams
which can be accommodated Is limited
If the figure reaches a point much
larger than that of las season the list
will probably have to be closed. Thera
