TIGERS To MEET
BLUE AND WHITE
Baer Field, Occidental to Be the
Scene of Annual Confer
ence Battle Today

Occidental and Pomona will clash
second of the big Southern California
conference games, Occidental having a
defeat of 2 to 0 behind her at the
hands of u. S. c. last Saturday which
she expects to obliterate with an
overwhelming defeat of the Clare
monters. The Tigers have been show
ing up splendidly in practice and will
make regular use of the forward
pass, a play which the Wesleyans used
with great success last week and
which the Oxy men were afraid to try.
Pomona's team is heavier that it
has ever been before, the line men
outweighing even OXy's husky seven.
This is a big item under the new rules,
as a heavy line almost prohibits the
possibility of touchdown, while a
fast back field is the only chance for
anything else than a field goal. Last
Saturdays game at Bovard field. illus
trated this. Time after time the u. S.
c. eleven had possession Of the ball
within Oxy's five-yard line, and as
many times the Tiger line held and
the touchdown was averted.

bars from the twenty or thirty-yard
lines, scoring between teams of almost
equal strength has become a thing OF
the past, so that unless the Tigers
develop wonderfully or the Pomonans
increase their sail the score will prob
ably be something like or to O.
One of the hopes of the Tigers is the
temperance of Drury Wieman in the
moleskins. Wieman is one of the
fastest backs of the southern schools
and was only able to get into the last
game for a few minutes on account OF
an injured leg.
The Pomona team can always be
counted upon for may surprises, sc
that there is little chance of a walk.

Future Regarding Sport

NEW YORK. Nov. lifts foolish

just because the local tracks are
closed The Westchester Racing asso-

regarding the sport that after the first

nations. The principal events will be
the Belmont, the Ladies' and the Nur-

In these significant words August
Belmont spoke concerning the racing
situation last night.
THE leasing of Belmont. Park to

the track will be abolished and racing
discontinued" said Belmont. 1.-THE
grounds were lying idle, and as the
association was offered a good rental
for the bird men to give exhibitions it
was rented to them. Under the terms
of the contract the grounds must be
returned to the association in the
same condition in which they were
handed over to the aviators.'

again advancing the rate on lumber
shipped east from Pacific coast points

It is reported that the railroads con-
template advancing the rates even be-
yond the point which they sought to
attain two years ago, at the time when
the commission made material reduc-
tions in their schedules as filed.
In the event that this attempt =
made and is resisted by the lumber in
terests, the commission will be COM
PEELED to go over the. same ground It
covered incident to its decision two
years ago and the railroads, to justify
their proposed advance, will be Obliged
to show increased cost Of service since

question of bringing future issue of
railroad securities under the super

The announcement was made short

DR.. Arthur T. Hadley, president OF

of the commission.
The other members are Frederick N.
Judson, of ST. Louis; Frederick Strauss

than 200 names were considered be-
fore he arrived at choice.
Mr.. Taft regards the commission as
representative both as to conserva-
tive and progressive thought in rail
road regulation.
The presidents train had hardly
pulled out of Boston before he was in
the thick of series of political con-
ferences. Senator w. Murray Crane,

NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SON.

Many Conventions" ImpP0vemento
ON Things Existing Long Ago.
There is no new thing under the
sun. Many of our boosted new Elm
ventions" are simply second editions
OF things which were invented thou
sand years ago. Parsons Weekly
says.
The taxicab is by no means q new
idea. A German pr 'essor has writ
ten a letter to the Frankfort Gazette.
In which he says he has discovered
that vitruvius. the Roman historian.
describes taximeter cab In use In
Rome the year 70 A. D.
The mechanism OF the taximeter
caused stone to drop into box
under the carriage every thousand
PAGES. At the end Of the journey the
driver counted the stones which had
fallen into the box. and In this way
was able to calculate the fare.
Within the last fifty years an En-
glishman produced a particular kind
OF pin, which he callez safety
pin. For this, admirable service to
mankind he was highly honored and
fetes and favors have showered upon
him.
However, when some one was polk
ing about among the ruins of Pompeii
they came upon a large number of
bronze safety pins They were quite
up-to-date pins, too. There was a
coiled spring at one end and a catch
at the other-just like those in con-
slant use at the present day.
Thimbles have been found In pre-
historic mounds and combs and hair
pins were in existence before the
Christian era. 1t is guessed with
some certainty that the first needle
must have been threaded by thrifty
housewife about 5000 years ago.
The combination locks we use to-
day, which can only be opened by a
combination Of certain numbers and
letters. were well known and used ex-
tensively by the Chinese many centu-
ries ago.
In China, too, they Illuminated their
houses couple OF thousand years ago
with natural gas, which was conveyed
to the consumers house by means of
bamboo tubes.
It is calculated that some short
hand systems go back to somewhere
about 500 B. C. At any rate, there
seems no doubt that the orations of
Cicero were written with as much
skill and rapidity as the modern stem
ographer could boast.
The ancients knew about electricity
and, though we usually credit Watts
with the discovery of steam as a mo-
tive power, Nero of Alexandria de-
scribed machines driven by steam
1000 years before Watts was born.
This same gentleman invented a
double-force pump, such as is used
nowadays as fire engine, and he an
ticipated the modern turbine wheel.
