safe and remunerative undertaking on
the part of the city of Los Angeles,
at the same time insuring at reason
able rates large supplies of electric
energy for light and power.
The significance of these possibili-
ties for power development as outlined
in the present report becomes espcial-
iy markd in view of the fact that dur
ing the past thirteen years. cover
ing the period of the recent rapid
growth Of the city of Los Angeles, the
demand for electric power in the city
and vicinity has increased some ten
fold or in round numbers from 5000 kill
owatts in 1897. to $4,000 at the pres
ent time. With the further assured
growth of the city. especially in the
line of Industrial progress, these facts
indicate an assured and early market
for such amounts of power as the city
may desire to offer for sale.

FOOTBALL FUNDS WILL
APPLY ON ATHLETICS

New York, Dec. 10.--Probahly the last
echo of Columbia universlty's football
days comes In an announcement that
Il trust fund of $4,000. which was put
by when football was abolished, five
years ago. has reverted to the uni
versity trustees. The actual abolish
ment of football at Columbia took place
on ian. /, 1906 On that date $4,000,
tho balance remaining in the football
associations treasury was placed in the
hands of n committee which was di-
rccted to keep the amount invested and
apply the Income annually, to Columbia
athletics. |
The trust was not to continue longer
than the first day OF January. 1911, in
case football wills not restored and the
trustees were directed by the associa-
ton to pay the fund over to tho trus-
tees of the college, who are bound to
devote the income to athletics.
Football not having been resumed, tho
university will now receive the princ-
pal of the fund. IT is directed that II
at any time during the continuance Of
the trust the track team and the uni
8versity crew should cease to take part
in Intercollegiate sports, then the whole
of said interest shall be paid annually
for the general uses of Columbia uni
vcrsity.''
The fund Is Invested to yield an an
nuol Income of $i70.

.MAGNATEs LOSE SIGHT
OF FLETCHER'S LEAGUE

New York. Dec. 9.-The gathering
of the big baseball magnntcs for their
annual meeting here next week is be-
lieved likely to develop the status of
the third league" baseball movement.
From what can be learned in advance
there seems to be less worry among the
club presidents than there was a few
weeks ago regarding the moves of d. A.
Fletcher. promoter Of the proposed RI
val organization. If the reports of
ground lost by Fletcher in his efforts to
collar star players and secure other
support for the so-called outlaw circuit
are confirmed when the magnates get
together. there is said to be little like
lihood Of official cogniZance being taken
of the third league proposition.

MOTORCYCLE GAME
SHOWS IMPROVEMENT
Three Glasses Will be Entered in Rae
ing Events Next
Season.

II one thing has been demonstrated
during the motorcycle racing season
of 1910, 1t is that there is hardly any
limit to the speed of these power-pro-
PEELED two-wheelers. Another thing
that has been demonstrated Is the
comparative safety OF the motor cycle.
With all of the racing events sched-
Iulcd and held during the last year,
there were very few serious accidents.
Looking back over the year, and also
ahead into next years events, 1t Is not
improbable that q change Is coming in
the classification OF riders. AS 1t now
stands there are three classes: ANA
tour, professional and trade riders III
is suggested that private owners-or
amateurs-be compelled to show n
clear record and title TO that classiii-
cation, and that trade riders be clas-
sified as professionals. This appiies
especially to the racing game where
the public is charged an admission fee

port from the outside. II man has
not the money to keep up his machine
turcr or promoters. 1t Is hardly posi-
bic for man to be a successful racer
for less than an expenditure of $1,000
In Il season. One thousand dollars is
5 per cent on $4,000, and certainly
a man should have an income of at
least $4,000 year If he is going to
invest $1,000 annually in pleasure In
which he risks his neck every time he
races.
1t Is suggested that in racing where
the public is charged an admission
all riders who ore connected with
the trade should be classed as profess
SIGNALS, and that a private owner
should be able to show the competition
committee of the Federation of Amer
lean Motorcyclists that he is financial
~ able to hold up his own end before
he is permitted to ride as private

should be forced to keep himself above
suspicion of receiving aid or assist

pitchers make the best umpires. There
