CHRISTOPHER J. LAKE PREPARING TO
 MANUFACTURE AEROPLANES FOR TRADE
Plant to Be Located in Avon Park If Experimental Ma chine to Be Built and Tried Out Warrants Ex- penditure ' Machinists Already at Work on the Ground-Big Grand Stand for Machine Shop.

No longer will the eyes of the world be centered upon the Wright Bros. for feats in aerial flights, and no longer will Hubert Latham be talked of in Bridgeport because of his monoplane trip over the English channel. This city is going to have a few airships of it's own and Christopher J. Fake, the inventor of many mechanical de- vices. and the father of Capt. Simon Lake, inventor of the Lake submarine torpedo boats, is back of the plan and he has secured from Stephen c. OS- borne an option on Hippodrome Park, formerly called Nutmeg Park, where work has already been started without ostentatfon upon the airships.
 Mr. Lake told a Farmer reporter this morning that the Lake Torpedo Boat Co. was in no way connected with the enterprise that he has inaugurated. Further than that he did not care to discuss his plans in the least, but said there would be time enough later. on to discuss what he intended to do at the park
 A Farmer reported visited the driv- ing park this morning and found it an admirable place for the testing of aero planes and one of the men found at MT. Lakes shop said that the field was about the same size as that Of the Wright brothers. At no other place in
 
 more level stretch of country than the lowland where i'll fated sporting pro- motors built a fine half mile track, stables and a commodious grandstand about a dozen years ago.
 The workshop of MT. Lake is located beneath the grandstand where there are many hundred feet of floor space we'll lighted by southerly exposure. The reporter was not allowed to enter the workship, but was treated very courteously by the two men who are carrying on the preliminary work. They would talk about everything ex- cept airships and referred the reporter to MT. Lake.
 One of the workmen Is a high class machinist who did much. ofsSthe fine work upon the enginesa of 4he sub marine torpedo boats and the other workman encountered by the reporter, Is said to be a high c1aksEnnechanic who is going to work out Mr.xLake's ideas. As The flying machfnes is no longer an impossibility. fk is under stood that MT. Lake int 1a Arfect his type of machine with the idea of manufacturing 1t for trade.
 At the office of the Lake Torpedo Co.,. this afternoon. it was stated that MT. Lake would make his airship tests at Nutmeg Park, but none of the em- ployes were free to discuss the type of craft that the vice president of the boat company intended to make.

 For the lady suffra gettes seized upon this public occasion to let the Premier know their wishes in this little matter of voting. The methods they took are a little loud, true, and somewhat Premier Is fully aware of their desire to vote.

Dc Rouen was repeatedly cheered for
his gameness.
With the exception Of a few min
utes when the men were on their feet
Gotch was always the aggressor. The
champion was never in serious trou-
BILE. He really won the bout in the
first fail when he so weakened his OPP
ponent with the toe hold hat De
Rouen did not care to repeat the cX-
perience in the second fail. The time
of the falls was 33:i5 and 10 mlnctes
respectively.

SERIOUS RACE TRACK
SCANDAL AT SANTA ANITA
Prominent Turfmen Suspended for
Participation in Alleged Crook
cd Deal.

Los Angeles. March 25.-The San
Ia Anita stewards today suspended
three OF the most prominent racing
men at the local track, T.. j. VIII
liams, trainer of the Pasadena tsables;
]. NJ. Stokes and John Pelter.
The charges against the men are
thai they were implicated in the al
legged pulling Of Itey Hindoo on March
1th when the horse ran what was
considered a %disgraceful race. 1t was
alleged at the hearing hat Jockey
Shrlner. who rode Rey Hindoo. was
given $3.50 to pull the horse. The OBJ
ject of the pulling, as alleged. was
that after the race, the horse owners
might claim the horse without bid
ding for It.. After the race. the horse
was claimed by Pelter. The investi-
CATION followed with the result to-
night announced bp the stewards.
Stokes. 1t was said. was given 81, 900
to give Shriner to leave the country.
The officials got wind of the trans
fer of the money to Shrinor and pre-
him leaving the city. The
charge against Williams was that he
as trainer OF Rey Hindoo was
cognizant of the affair from the first.
His object. it is alleged, was to get
control of the horse for his brother,
owner of the Pasadena stables.

partment.

In a remarkably fast and clean
game of baseball yesterday afternoon
the Central Hig hschool team went
down to defeat at the hands of the
Third ward aggregation by the score
of 7 to 8. Both teams played fast
and snappy throughout and the form
displayed by both teams was n revela-
ton to the spectators, who had not
expected to see such a close contest.
The feature of the game was a long
home-run drive by Johnny Trosselo
in the ninth inning. With Taylor on
first base, and the score standing 8
to ) against his team, Trosselo turned
almost certain defeat into victory by
a terrific drive over the left fielder's
head.
The lineup of the Third ward team
follows:
Kiekc, catcher; Taylor, pitcher; j.
Trosselo, first base; b. Rudolph, sec
ond base; c. Hardline. third base; g..
shortstop; Garcia, NJ. Hidalgo
and II. Grub, outfielders.
Wagner and Cooper were the bat
teries for the high school.
Negotiations are under way for an
other game to be played soon.

kE1CHEL AND JACK
OBR|EN MEET
TONIGHT
Fans Interested in Con-
test Between M%iddIeweight
Champion and Clever PhiIa-.
de|phian,

Tonight Stanley Kotchcl. middle
weight champion Of the world, and
philadelphia Jack O'Brien win clash
in a ten-round bout before the Ma
tional Athletic club of New York.
Both men have been training con
scientiously n are in fine condition
for tonight's battle and II their state
ments can be taken to mean any
thing New Workers Will witness the
greatest fight of the year.
The result of the fight means a
great deal to both men and for this
reason they will undoubtedly set a
pace from gong to gong seldom seen
in the suared circle, Should Ketchel
defeat the willy lack he win be In line
with a match with Jack johnson for
the heavyweight championship OF the
world, while a defeat at the hands of
the Philadelphia will practically pre-
clue all possibility of the proposed
Johnson match.
O'Brien has confesse d to taking
with many pugilists, including Tom
my Burns, and a victory over Ketchel
tonight will again set him in the good
races of the public. while a decisive
defeat the hands of the Michigan man
Will admit him to membership to the
has been" club.
Ketchel is n dangerous man at all
stages. With a terrific punch in
either hand and his aggressive style
lie is always feared by his opponent
and is never beaten until the end of
the fight, on the other hand O'Brien
is one of the most ~scietific men in the
game and although he does not carry
q sleep-produclng wallop he can sting
opponent hard enough with either
TO keep him away. O'Brien un-
doubtedly will be able to stay the ten
with Ketchel and outpoint him
If he has not greatly %retrograded since
he last appeared in the ring.
