The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1910-04-09

The first intercollegiate baseball
game of the season in Walla Walla is
being played this afternoon on An
keny field between the Whitman col
lege nine and the diamond artists from
the University of Idaho, who arrived
here Yesterday afternoon. Both teams
are said to be in the best of condition,
and from all indications the game will
be in the CLASSY column. The Mission
aries seem to have strengthened won
derfullv since the Oregon trip. and fans
will this afternoon be able to give an
accurate idea as to tie strength OF
the players composing the aggregation.
The game this afternoon is the first of
the season for. the Idaho boys.
Coach Grogan sent The Idaho men
through a light practice on the city
league field last evening He seems
to have the team all rounded up and
ready to strike hard for the top place
on the final championship percentage
column. He says his team is well
balanced and all in good shape He
will probably send Appleman, the Ida
no rangy southpaw, into the box, for
the contest this afternoon. Appleman

is an old man, and will surely keep
the Missionaries guessing. Chang
nou will receive for Appleman. The
rest Of the Idaho lineup will be as
follows LIST base, Curtiss, I'd Slock
(capt), Sd Walker, SIS. Lundstrum, left
field, Cromer, center field Thornton,
and right field williams. Borleske
will do the tWirling stunt for the
Missionaries, he is up to his usual
form and that is saying he will have
all kinds of speed and curve for to-
days contest. Johnson will be Bor-
leske's stop behind the plate Capt.
Shubert will hold down first. His
cleverness with the little padded glove
has interested many fans in past years
and the boys say that their captain
still performs his clever little stunts
Dunbar will play second. Stuth short
and Belt third. In the field will be
Cox, at right, Felthouse at center and
Perringer at left.
Manager Davenny has arranged
some neat little score Grad, so the
fans TO keep tab on the players. The
ground is in the best of condition,
and as there is ample seating room
for the crowd in the grand stand the
game will be played rain or shine.
The contest starts at $3.50.

person was running second. Oldfield
began his race for the leaders and By
the end of the fourth mile was in COM
mand, winning handily in ISL 2-5.
The Apperson was second. The five
mile free-for- all proved a thriller with
De Palma in the 80 Fiat and Robert
son in the Simplex racing hood and
hood hood for almost the entire dis
lance. The Italian won by scant
length in 3:16.30.
The hundred mile race was a fight
between Harrouns Marmon and Sic
fert's Doris. The cars were Tapped
for 95 of the 100 miles At the end of
80 miles the Doris crossed the line
one food ahead of the Marmon. Har-
roun drew away in the last five miles
and opened up gap of several hun
dred feet. He won the race in 1885,
22.1, which cuts 4:46.21 off his own
record made at Atlanta.
In the ten-mile race for stock cars
with 1920 displacement Endicott
in a Cole won in 9:0325 The former
record for this class was 9:49.46, made
at Atlanta.
The weather was cold and cloudy
and a strong wind blew off the ocean
across the track.

he began clipping miles off in 80 Sec
onds. it was apparent that the record
would go. He finished the ten mines
in 6:31.37. Strang's mile at Atlanta
for this distance was 7:0194.
Another worlds mile track record
and a national speedway mark went
glimmering when Barney Oldfield
turned loose his 200 horsepower Benz
for mile, making the pie pan" in
1922 seconds. This car was never
open to the limit, and it is expected
that this mark will be set still lower.
Ralph de Palma in his 100 horse
power Fiat, cut the five-mile mark to
3:15.62 He was followed by Ben
Kercher, who cut the two-mile record
to 1889 in a Darracq.
The racing was unusually spirited
and every event was a hard fought
contest. The most sensational drive
of the day was made by Oldfield in a
Knox, in the ten-mile race for cars
with 451-600 cubic inches displace-
ment. Getting away to a very bad
start, due to his position on the ex-
IRENE inside, Oldfield was an eighth
of a mile behind the flying Stoddart-

first half mile Hanshue, in the APP

PLAYA DEL REY, Cal, April g.
The estahl, sh:ng of many new speed
records marked the opening of he
Los Angeles motordrome yesterday.
Every worlds record for a one
mile track, from one to 100 miles, was
beaten and five national speedway
marks were lowered in the trials and
the free-f rail- contests.
The establishing of new mile track
records was to be expected as this is
the first board track ever raced on by
motor cars In addition to the nation
al records established, new marks
were also set in the stock events.
The racing was free from accidents.
At the end of the hundred mile race,
a Doris car driven by Frank Siefert,
turned turtle, but this did not happen
until after the car had run into the
paddock Siefert's arms had become
numb from the strain and he lost con-
troll of the wheel. He was not in
jured.
The first mile on the track was a
record. Caleb Bragg, an amateur,
sent the Fiat 80 around in 37.5.
George Robertson was next to be
sent away and his big Simplex thun-
dered after the ten mile record. When

REGULATE AUTOMOBILE USE
Hours During Which Machines Can
Travel Over Roads Prescribed.

WASHINGTON. April 9.-The reg
ulations governing the use of auto
mobiles in Mount Rainier national
park, WASH have been revised by Sec
rotary Ballinger who has changed the
hours during which machines will be
permitted on the government road be-
tween Longmore Springs and the Mis-
ually glacier. Under the new regula-
tons the road can be used by auto
mobiles from 80 a. m. to 1880 p. m.
There is no change in the hours dur
ing which automobiles can use the
road from the western boundary Of the
park to Longmore Springs and return.
which are from s a. m. to $3.50 p. m.
except that no machine outward bound
will be permitted to leave the springs
after p. m.
The automobile permits granted un-
der the new regulations will expire on
December 81 of the year in which they
are issued. 1t is believed that the
change in hours will work to the ad-
vantage of the visitors in park auto
mobiles and those going in with saddle
and pack trains.

In spite of the difficulties that have
been encountered, and in spite of the
fact that there hove been post NOR
TENS of the kind mentioned, it is
abundantly evident that the w. S. c..
committee is sincere n it's desire to
root out the profession ais, and do the
square thing. Deaner and Miner admit
their guilt.
Keinholz Is Censured.
Coach Keinholz is not criticised be-
cause of having promised the men
money, for at present there is no di-
rect evidence to show that he did. But
his letters to the men were couched in
terms which called forth the censure
of the committee. Everybody is tired
of the same old story of suspects"
and a post morton examination after
the season is over; and in the student
body there are a few more than a
thousands students who would rejoice
in an opportunity to substitute ping
pong for football if the latter cannot
be played without hiring players.

Their success is shown by the fact

The trouble in which the city of Newark has found itself simply be- cause the mayor imagined he was not going to be given credit for doing his duty should act as a warning to all other officers that even the wishes Of the common people must be respected occasionally. Of course this is only very flimsy excuse of the mayor. but
 1t was the only one he could conjUre up. His refusal to enforce the pro- hibition laws placed upon the statutes of his state is responsible for the whole trouble. The mayor was de- termined to show the people that he was bigger than the law, and the lynching of the detective was the re- suit As a natural result the mayo- has lost his job. there are hundreds
