CASTAWAYS ON EDGE
FOR GAME TOMORROW
Berkeley viii Send Fast Fifteen to
Meet LocaI-Monday's Game
with an All Star
Lineup

Preparations have been completed by
Manager Crouch of the Castaway Rug
by team of Los Angeles for the recep-
tion of the Berkeley fifteen, which will
reach Los Angeles Saturday morning.
Two games will be played, the first
Saturday afternoon at Fiesta park
with the Castaways, while the second
contest will be Berkeley VS.. an All
Star Rugby lineup, chosen from the
various high schools of the Angel
city. Twenty men will represent the
northern university, including trainer
and coach. The party will proceed to
the woodward hotel, from which place
a parade will be formed, passing
through the business streets Of the
city. 1t is probable that school will
be dismissed early Monday afternoon
in order that the pupils may be given
an opportunity to witness what prom
ises to be one of the fastest Rugby
exhibitions given in this section of the
state for many years. The Castaways
have trained faithfully for the contest
and will enter the game expecting to
win. Mayor Alexander will be on hand
to give an exhibition kick off before
the game is called at $3.50 p. m. The
Castaways have received a challenge
from the fifteen of Santa Clara col
lege and game will be arranged for
some future date.
Prominent among the fast Berkeley
boys who will star at Fiesta tomorrow
afternoon is Carl Phlegar, touted as
one of the fastest backs on the coast.
The entire lineup Of the northern uni
versity presents formidable aspect
and should the Castaways come away
victorious they will have an excellent
chance for the championship of the
United States.

POMONA IS ENTHUSED BY
. RETURN OF VETERAN GUARD
Strong Addition Is Made to CIaremont
Eleven by Registration of
Crawford

CLAREMONT, Sept. 30-Pomona
supporters are greatly enthused over
football prospects by the appearance
today on the field of Albert Crawford,
who played fine game at guard last
year, and whom it was feared would
not be able to get out this year. With
him back, Pomona will have a bunch
of guards and tackles which will all
weigh well over 1S0 pounds.
The freshman team went through
some strenuous practice this afternoon
in preparation for the game next Mon
day with the Occidental first year men.
Coach Stanton has been giving them
some special attention, and the result
is very marked. New plays have been
learned, and they seemed this afternoon
to be able to make ground at will over
a team made up of upper class candi-
dates. The probable lineup for Satur-
day is as follows:
Center, Nye; right guard, Roth;
right tackle, Nance; right end, Rice;
left guard, Perrin; left tackle, Kinsey;
left end, VIII Crawford; quarterback,
Spurgeon; right half Barnes; left half,
Bliss; full back, Miller, and Haskins
and Powell as subs.

that drink stuff that was printed

softing around. taking it easy, for
a number of years, and l didn't
look like a fighting proposition to
myself any more.
Would Not Stand Taunts
"'T'hen, when the bunch all over
the country began to clamor for
me to get into trim for johnson,
I chirked up a little and began to
sort of dope it over; but at that,
even when 1 made the $5O,000
vaudeville date, 1 wasn't anything
like certain in my own mind that
I'd ever be able to get ripe enough
again for this strong Johnson boog.
You see, l found that few rounds
of boxing made me panty and
breathless, and there was Q, roll Of
blubber around the waistline, and
it seemed to me that must be in
line for top member of the Fat
Mems club.
"'But when they began to
squeak that 1 was a 'fraid cat and
that / ies' dassent meet Johnson,
we'll, that was different. I gave
myself some strict treatment then,
and I began to find out, after few
weeks of dieting and keen work,
that there was a chance for me to
get around after all.
"'Then I hit upon this Carlsbad
dope, with the hill-climbing thing
on the side and all that; and it
has worked like charm. All I
need now is the road work and the
boxing partners and the bag
punching thing for a while, and I'll
be there with the jinglers on for
Johnson, and I'm pretty sure I'll
get him, too.
I've been climbing these Dutch
mountains, as you know, every day
for weeks, and I find that 1 haven't
taken a short breath for several
weeks now. 1 can't remember when
my wind was any better; and that,
you know, was what I was leary of
from the beginning-the state of
my wind. / never doubted that l
had the strength to cover this
Johnson man up.
VIII Hunt for Black Man
Now that I'm dead sure about
the wind, and that I've chopped
the weight down so that 1 could
hop in the ring tomorrow If 1 had
to, it's all fixed so far as I'm con-
cerned. You can tell 'em when you
get back that I'll be there hunting
for q black man with or without
a bundle inside of a few weeks.
AS for the fight that I'll have with
him, I think the result is as good
as "in." I'm not there with the
blurts generally, as perhaps you'll
remember, but I am free to say
that l think this Johnson meat,
taking it all in all, is going to
be the softest that I've stacked up
against in the whole course of my
ring career"

rBy Associated Press. ]

BOSTON, Sept. 30.-The fight for the
American league pennant Is over. De-
troit has won again, making it three
straight championships and a record
for the league. The champions lost
their game here today, 8 to 7, but as
Philadelphia lost twice to Chicago, the
Detroits are sure of the flag. The game
was hard fought, both teams using two
pitchers.
Mullin was batted hard in the first
inning and in part of the second. Bos-
ton won the game in the eighth inning
with two out.
Detroit started the season we'll and
remained at the top for several weeks,
mainly through the remarkable work
OF its pitchers. A set back came to-
ward the middle of the season, howeV-
or, and at one time the champions
dropped as low as third place. They
did not stay there long, bracing up con-
siderably and passing Philadelphia and
Boston, who were in first and second
place respectively. A long series at
home again gave the pennant winners
a good lead before they made their Sec
ond eastern trip. They had to make a
hard fight, and up to the last week the
result was in doubt. Score:
Detroit 7, hits II, errors 2.
Boston 9, hits IL, errors 8.
Batteries: Mullin, Willett and
Schmidt; Wood, Hall and Donahue.

FRANKIE NEIL LOSES

VANCOUVER, B. c., Sept. 3O.-After
fifteen rounds of the fastest boxing
ever seen here, Billy Lauder, the Cana
dian lightweight champion, was sue
cessful here last night in defending his
title against frankie Neil of San Fran
cisco, the former bantamweight cham
pion of the world. Lauder was about
ten pounds heavier than Neil and tho
little Californian's blows were of in
sufficient weight to stop him. He out
boxed Neil most of the time, and had a
clear margin at the finish. The decis-
ion of Referee James Hewitt was q
popular verdict. In the preliminaries
AL Smith of Vancouver beat Joe Reyn-
olds of Australia in six rounds, and
Jimmy Wagner of San Francisco beat
Kid Mitchell of Detroit in ten rounds.

OXY FRESHMEN TO
MEET POMONA TEAM
Present Lineup Looks Well from First
Year VeWpolnt-Screen Plays
and End Runs Work
Well

Ever since college opened at Occi-
dental Coach Gorton has been giving
especial attention to the freshmen, who
have far surpassed his most sanguine
expectations. When they meet the
Pomona babes Saturday they expect to
handily annex the long end of the score.
Among those who have made
especially good are Weiman, Smart, Du
Bois, Bucklen, Bradbeer and Blee.
Three of these, Smart, Blee and Du
Bois, formerly played with Santa Ana.
Weiman, captain and fullback, is play
ing a star game for the freshies. Buck
len is a middle west man of some ex-
perience. He follows his interference
with great acumen and should show up
to advantage in the Pomona game.
Bradbeer, salso playing at halfback, is
being counted on to make gains on ac-
count of his speed.
Although some trouble has been ex-
perienced in handling the forward pass,
it is expected that by Saturday this
difficulty will be overcome. Screen
plays and end runs were principally re-
sorted to against the varsity last even
ing. Smart and Blee work very well at
tackle and great work is expected from
them. Hayslip will play center, and
holding down his position with ease
against all corners. Gaskel of last
years academy eleven will play one
guard, while Briar and Culp will
change off on the other. Morris, Nc
Kelvy and Yakely will take care of the
extremes. The eleven averages about
1856 pounds.

Sierra Leone.

Sierra Leone-known to fame as "the white mans grave"-viewed from the deck of an incoming steamer presents an appearance distinctly attractive. As to climate, the sobriquet white mans grave" is sufficiently instructive Suf- flee it to say that the first of the daily regimental orders ran thus: Funeral parade at 6:3O a. m. tomorrow" and it was seldom indeed that the parade was dismissed for lack of a victim to the pest1ferous climatic conditions. Indeed. so arduous became the duties of sepulcher that, whereas it was cus- tomary in the beginning for the entire regiment and band to attend, only the company of the deceased and the firing party did so later on. Sierra Leone is infested with snakes, large and small. The former are of the constructor spe- cies; the latter are all extremely ven- omous. The most deadly of all per haps is the yellow jack, a beautiful yellow and black reptile, whose bite is reputed to prove fatal within a space of twenty minutes.-Westchest Coun- ty Magazine.
