PEACEMAKER IS STABBED
BY BRAWLlNG C0UNTRYMEN
Attempt to Stop Street Fight Proves
Serious for Arturo, Whose Cuts
Are Dressed a, Hospital

Playing the part Of peacemaker
proved injurious to Elmatti Arturo last
night when he attempted to separate
two fellow countrymen who were
fighting. Arturo saw the fracas and
interfered with the result that he was
stabbed several times, a deep cut be-
ing inflicted under the left forearm,
another in the back and a slight cut
in the left breast
The most serious injury was that in
the back, the razor or knife which
was welded having penetrated deeply
but not striking a vital spot.
The affair happened at 9O1 Date
street and shortly after S. Antonio
and C. Maganoli were locked up at
police headquarters, booked on sus-
picion. 1t is thought that the men
have knowledge of the stabbing af-
fray and their clothes were covered
with mud, showing that they had eVi-
IDENTIFY participated in some brawi III
the street.
Arturo's injuries are not serious ana
he will be released this morning TO
appear against the two suspects under
arrest to see IL he can identity them
as his assailants.

CHARLIE S0ULES MAKES
BEST DRIVE EVER SUNDAY
Car Was Flawless In All the Long
Grind and Soulss Piloted Her
in Perfect Form

The congratulations of hundreds of
those at Ascot park yesterday We're
extended to Charlie Soules, who piloted
the Stearns to her well-earned victory.
Never on Ascot park or any other
track has there been seen better driv-
ing, more consistent running, than
was given by this ncrYy and popular
handler of racing cars than the work
of Soules yesterday.
His car was flawless in action. With
the steady shooting of her cylinders,
as regular as the ticking Of the PEN
dulum of a clock, the big Stearns made
round after round of the oval, and
when Soules thought it best to give
his machine additional speed the splen-
did power of his car responded with
will at any moment.
Soules has been charged in the past
with driving his car to death at the
outstart OF his races. and to this has
been attributed many of his unfortu-
nate losings Not SO yesterday. Con-
fident of the machine he was driving
and of the most excellent condition in
which she had been placed under his
direction, he measured his gait with
the speed he had under him. When
well in the lead he struck 1:10 clip
and held his car to it. When urged by
his competitors the throttle was
pushed. and bounding to the front
again he took a 1904 gait and held 1t
as consistently as the slower mark.

INCIDENTS OF THE RACES

William II. Pickens, the organizer Of
the famous Buick racing team OF driv-
ers, was at the track yesterday, an
interested observer, ana he had many
remarks Of cOmmoniatiOn to make OF
the men Who We're driving locally.
Pickens is here in the interest OF his
old pal, Barney OldHeld, who is 10

Sunday, December % and IS, driving a

be some racing at that time.
Isn't it funny how aggraVating a
carburetor can be? Always falls down
at the moment it is most wanted.
There may be drivers on the eastern
tracks who can drive some, but The
Herald contends that Los Angeles
could give an account of herself with
any of them at any time.
Ascot park was never in better con-
dition for an automobile race than
yesterday. 1t was much faster than
at any previous meet.
The Herald consistently and persis-
tcntly contends that 15O-mile races,
six-hOur races and hard similar grinds
are not for the best interests of either

however with the same cool work
with which he does everything around
his car or the racing game.
First Accident Responsible
Examination Of the accident to the
car showed that when she met with her
first mishap pieces of the broken part
had found their way into the crank
case, and the action Of the engine, to-
gethor with the motion of the fast
moving car had become entangled
in the next compartment. NO machln-
erv on earth, however powerful could
stand the grind Siafert was going, 50
away Went her vital parts, and the
Palmer was out of the race after
dead game showing by her owner and
driver that they had the confidence In
their machine and were not afraid 10
show 1t to others.
At The end of the o45th mile the
Buick, which had been going a most
consistent gait under the coOl-headed
Nikrent boys came i'm and cleaned out
some dirt which had been thrown IN
tn carbureter4. Then going 10 the
quarter post, the Nil-rents took their
place alongside The Palmcr-S Singer.
From the very first moment OF the
race IL was evident that the popull
little Corhin Was not in fighting trim.
