SENSATIONAL GAME
IS WON BY COvINA

Covina added one more game to it's
credit yesterday by defeating the Bryn
Mawr team of Redlands on the Covina
diamond in one of the fastest games
ever witnessed on the country diamond.
Several sensational features developed
in the game, and the major league
playing of Ping Fairly for the winners
was of high class order. He allowed
the defeated aggregation but three
hits and famed five of his opponents.
Aguayo, for the winners, ran the bases
like roller coaster, stealing second
and third and, not being satisfied with
that, taking home in one of the last
innings of play. Errors were plentiful
on both teams. The manager of the
Covina team wants 1t understood that
it was not the Covina town team that
was defeated by Alhambra last Sun
day, as it was a picked up bunch.
Covina boys will play the Santa Mon
lea Stars next Sunday on the Covina
diamond. There will be a series of
three games between these two clubs.

at the discharge of the revolver. The
opinion was he could not stand the
pace. Lawson held back cautiously
and all were watching for his squirt.
Furman held to his position, closely
pressed by Bardgett. Near the finish
of the last lap Lawson scared high on
the track in an endeavor to circle down
in the lead, but Furman was there
with the speed and crossed the tape
first. Bardgett whirled by in second
position with Palmer third, and the
mighty Lawson was given fourth place.
Lawson had made his squirt too late,
and Furman, the representative of Los
Angeles, was given a wonderful ova-
ton as he left the track. The time was
l minute 8 2-5 seconds.
The previous riding had warmed the
spectators to a point of enthusiasm
and when Walker and w. e. Samuelson
came on the track for their ten-mile
motor-paced race excitement reigned.
T. M. Samuelson and Arthur Nit
chell. the motorcyclists, gave the
crowd before the race started an idea
of the capabilities of the motor ma
chimes The manner in which they cir
cled the slOped track was a revelation
to the followers of the sport in Los
Angeles.
There was much jockeying before the
start of the race, but when the two
teams were punched Starter Bartel
set them off.
Samuelson, paced by his brother, took
the lead and never relinquished it.
Walker, the man who had previously
defeated Samueson, was unable to fol-
low his pace, and at the end of the
second mile was one lap behind. The
Samuelson brothers never varied their
pace and gave a remarkable exhibition
of motor-paced bicycle racing. To the
spectator it looked as though the ma
chimes were fastened together, and they
reeled off mile after mile without vari-
alton.
The race was more of an exhibition
than contest, as Walker could not
keep up with his pacemaker, and at the
end of the fifth mile Samuelson again
Tapped him. The brothers, confident
of victory unless some accident should
happen, started out to gain another
lap, and the most interesting part of
the match was seen.
Gain Third Lap
Walker rode steadily, and it was not
until the end of the eighth mile that
the Samuelson brothers, by riding on
the bank, succeeded in gaining the
third lap.
The match finished in a burst Of
speed, both riders doing their utmost,
and had Walker not lost his pace on
three occasions, each resulting in the
loss of lap, the race would have been
exceedingly close The time for the
ten miles was IA minutes 2-5 sec
onds.

caught at that beach for some time.
e. Neil and w. W. Wenderborn

yel1owfin were plentiful. Herring was
running in large schools and several
baskets were caught

COLLINS ASKS U.S..
COURT FOR LIBERTY
His Petition for New Writ Is
Promptly Denied by
Judge Van Fleet

George D. Collins gave sort of
dying twitch when he fled a petition
for writ of habeas corpus yesterday
in the United States circuit court. 1t
was the hope of Collins that United
States District Judge William C. Van
Fleet would grant the petition, allow
the writ and command the defendant
TO go his way in peace to Canada
But such was not the result, as the
petition was denied and the judge took
occasion to inform the prisoner that.
independent of the merits of the ap-
plication, it appearing from the peti-
tion that Collins is being held by the
state authorities, his remedy is by writ
of error to the supreme court of the
state on its refusal to grant his ap-
plication for habeas corpus, as alleged
in the petition.
In we'll penned letter addressed
to the court Collins said that the points
and authorities in the new petition
were different from those passed upon
by the United States supreme court in
his previous writ. Among other ale
cations Collins said that he was held
in the penitentiary without any GER
tified copy of any judgment of the
supreme court of California.
He further alleged that his irnprison-
ment was contrary 10 the constitution
of the United States. and that in his
conviction the treaty between Great
Britain and the United States had been
violated and that the only reason that
prevented him from returning to Can
ada was. his imprisonment in San Quen-
tin. He also set up that his case wa,'
Influenced by local prejudice. The re-
naming allegations were the same as

DR.. TERRY TO QUIT
HOSPITAL SERVICE
Chief Surgeon OF Emergency In
stituti0ns Intends to Retire
to Private Practice

DR.. Wallace /. Terry, for two years
chief surgeon of the San Francisco
emergency hospital service, will resign
his Office in October. The reason given
for this action is that DIR. Terry's
present position with the city inter
feres with his private practice. Prom
inent among the prospective ply
sicians who have been mentioned as
the possible successor of DIR. Terry are
DR.. Reuben C. Hill, DR.. James T. Wat
kins, Charles B. Pinkham and Drs
Bush, Russ and Russell.
The board of health has not been
oficially notified of DR.. Terry's inten-
ton, but the rumor that he was about
to resign, which had been current for
several days, was verified last evening
by DIR. Terry. In speaking of the mat
ter Dr. Terry said:
.T shall resign my position as chief
surgeon of the emergency hospital
service some time in October, probably
in the early part of the month. / am
prompted to take this action because
of the great amount of time required
TO attend to the duties of that office.
thereby preventing sufficient time to
attend to my private practice"
DIR. Terry said that he was satisfied
with the work of the service since he
had been its chief
While there is no active campaign
being made to secure the position
which will be made vacant by DR..
Terry, friends of the physicians named
are urging their merits. DR.. Charles
B. Pinkham, a former chief of the
service, is especially prominent as a
possible successor. He has not stated
his willin gness to accept the appoint
ment, but he has many friends who are
solicitous in his behalf DIR. Hill is
also popularity mentioned. DR.. Pink
ham is still in the emergency hospital
service, being an assistant surgeon Or.
Hill resigned several months ago.
