BLUE AND WHITE IS
GREATLY HANDICAPPED
Loss of Dawson and Geissler Proves
Serious, Materially Lessening
Their Chances to Beat
CIaremont

When the Los Angeles high school
track squad tries conclusions with Po-
mona on the Claremont field next sat
urday afternoon they will be hand
icapped by the los of Don Dawson and
Geissler, and with these two crack ath-
letes out of it their hope of anneXlng
another victory dwindles to one chance
in a thousand. With their best candl-
dates in the field, the high school won
from Occidental by the narrow margin
of five point, and lost to the University
of Southern California. Now, with two
such point winners as Dawson and
Geissler out of it, and stacking up
against so strong team as the Clare
monters, the high shool boys assuredly
are up against it right. Coach Noble,
although hoping for victory, said last
night:
1--WE hardly expect to win, but we do
intend to make good showing. Cess
Ter. dropping from the squad for the re-
mainder of the season, is hard loss to
overcome, and Don Dawson, competing
in the Hotel Virginia tennis tourna-
ment at Long Beach next Saturday,
will make, 1 am afraid, our attempt to
wrest q victory from the Claremonters
a. rather weak one. We hardly expect
TO win."
Nevertheless, the blue and white
squad is going into the meet sturdy or
heart and with the right spirit.

READY TO OPEN
BIG AUTO SHOW
Cars Must Be Moved in Tomorrow,
and Private View of Exhibit
VIII Then Be Af-
forded

Where less than two short weeks
ago the soccer football players kicked
the ball over a barren field there has
grown a giant redwood forest of over
$50 trees. Under the largest tent ever
erected in this country Los Angeles is
housing one of the most picturesque
woodland sights Californians have
ever had the opportunity of seeing.
A mighty transformation has taken
place at Fiesta park, where the big
show of licensed automobiles is to open
Saturday night, and the thousands who
visit the park at the opening or dur
ing the week following will see the
most beautifully decorated building or
park the city has ever known. Los
Angeles has become the city of big
things. and on such an enormous scale
is this automobile show being con-
Quoted that it is already attracting ma
tional attention. Manager j. 5. Con-
well has received hundreds of letters
and kilograms from eastern manufac-
t1rers, and every detail of the snow
will he watched with the greatest in
terest.
This has been a busy week at the
park and among the dealers who are
to exhibit. A crew of men worked all
last night putting down the carpet
which is to cover the entire $4,000
square feet of space, and by this morn
ing, when the first of the exhlblts are
moved in, the big arena will be ready
with the 1000-foot scene in place, every
tree and branch perfect and all the
lights in place.
Work of hanging the signs started
Yesterday and will be completed today.
Cars will all be in by tomorrow night,
when there will be a private exhibit
for members of the press.

and the good fellowship engendered be-
tween dealers, drivers and the show di-
rectorate by his affable, genial man
ner, after only a few weeks acquaint-
ance in the city. Is guarantee of ms
satisfying the public in every race TO
be held on the mammoth track. Fol-
lowing the inspection of the motor
drome all guests were invited to a well
ordered lunch at the Ship Hotel, Ven
ice, after which short speeches were in
order. Mr.. Muscovics' frankness in
outlining the prospects and policy TO
be observed by the management of the
motordrome carried conviction that the
auto racing game in Los Angeles would
at all times be without criticism, and
would enlist the hearty support of the
entire racing world. Frank Garbutt
gave an interesting resume of auto
racing from the days of the old steam
ers Mr.. Bush, as a director of the
A. A. A., promised the hearty support
of that association. Mr.. Hogaboom
spoke on the attitude of the press;
Messrs. Hemphill, Hamlin, Harroun
and others added their encomiums to
the general praises and then it was up
to Jack Prince to give a full history
of the motordrome enterprise, which
was we'll received, and the credit for
the plans inception was generously ac-
corded to Mr. Prince. Jack, blunt,
straightforward fellow, has been the
most consistent booster of motor and
bicycle racing since the first tracks
were built. He himself has designed
some of the fastest tracks in the world.
AS an apt illustration that persistent
application along one line will win,
many remember when Mr.. Prince first
came to Los Angeles some fifteen years
ago to ride against another champion
bicycle rider, and but few at the motor
tlrome yesterday knew that his former
champion competitor was driving nails
in the planks of the track that Jack
Prince is building at Del Rey today.
What the motordrome will mean to
Los Angeles prosperity is not to be lost
sight of. Many men of wealth who
now spend their winters in Florida do
so solely because attracted to the Or
monde races. Southern California, with
its more genial climate, will In future
seasons divert such travel this way,
and more hotels will be necessary to
properly care for such valued tourist
patronage.
1t is now squarely up to the people of
Los Angeles to boost the motoriro1ne,
for it's promoters have given tangible
evidence that every promise Will be
carried out.

NAVAL OFFICERS
MUST PAY FARES
Ruling of Treasury Department
Creates Dismay in Military
Circles; Plans Formulated to
Overcome Obstacle.

Washin~lon. d. c., June 9.-Thc
tieasuiN department has made a de-
cision that IA treated CONSERVATION
in naval circles. IL Is that the gov
ornment has no right to pay naval
Officers or attaches mileage when
they come home on leave of absence.
II is held that such orders are not
! "fol the good of the service" but
purely q personal matter with the Of
~ficeIs, whose travelling expenses must
be borne by themselves.
What is even more serious from the
naval point of view is the construc-
ton that this ruling is retroactive and
that all officers who have received
such mileage in the past five years
must refund the amount SO received
to the government.
While protesting against the ruling
the navy department takes the view
that II can be overcome by the issue
Of another order. The department
mgy order a man home on waiting
orders and he will be entitled to the
mileage. That can be followed with
another order granting him leave.
He viii be entitled to his mileage un-
der the first order. in accordance
With the ruling of the treasury de-
pertinent, and at the same time will
get his leave under the second order.
In that way, it is said. the ruling can
be gotten round Tor the future. 1t is
asserted that an appeal from the aud
.itoI ruling will be made To the court
OF claims and to congress.
The decision affecting travel allow
.ance OF naval officers on leave of
e bsenee with no duty to perform is
based on the appeal OF A. b. Court.
assistant naval constructor, from the
action OF the auditor for the navy de-
pertinent in d~isallowing q claim for
Si5s.52. That amoun was checked
against Courts account. 1t has been
paid by him for travel from Houston,
Texas, his home. to Boston. Pay Di-
rector Littlefield, in charge of the
navy pay office ut Boston. September
20. 1905, paid the snm Of $315 to Mr..
Court ms mileage for his travel from
Boston TO Houston and return. The
entire amount will have to be re-
funded.
In order to avoid any question as
to whether the midshipmen now at
the naval academy shall obtain their
mileage, Rear Admiral Nicholson,
chief of navigation, has specifically
ordered all the midshipmen to pro-
coed home June 4 and there await
