MT. WASHINGTON TOURNEY
FURNISHES MANY THRILLS
Youngsters Show Remarkable
Ability in Covering the Court
and Placing Shots

Mt. Washington saw new genera
ton of tennis experts conquer and be
conquered, win and lose, gamely yes
terday with an assortment of bril-
liant strokes that would do credit to
Southern California championship
tournament or the Pacific States
doubles event. Gameness was the
ing yesterday, and although they
ranged in size from four to six feet
the four-footers seemed to be on the
winning end in most instances.
One of the features of the days pro-
gram was the defeat of Bundy and
Hendrick, the youngsters of the ten
his names, by rising stars of unknown
tennis nomenclature.
The play will extend over to Mon
day, as the singles and doubles are
still far from the finals. Mondays
play should provide some exciting
times for the fans, and there is no
more pleasureable way for a tennis
fan to spend a day than to take the
car for the clouds and watch the
classy production of the tennis art of
w
pions are capable.
A match between Mace and Holmes,
Bacon and Variel gave the youngsters
chance to see what they may look
forward to in the future, but not one
of the four tournament veterans was
able to astonish the crowd with i'm
possible shots in the manner of the
principal figures in the days program.
The results of the days play follow:

APPOINTS COMMITTEE TO
REVISE BUILDING LAW

LONG BEACH, Aug. 13.-Of prime
importance locally was the city coun-
cil's move last night in appointing a
committee of three to revise the build
ing ordinance The amendment will
doubtless be followed by a decided
advance in building. Restrictions in
have caused many buildings to be
held up.
The most recent of these was the T.
]. Nelm theater building, planned for
erection at the corner of Hart court
and the Strand walk. The committee
will amend the ordinance so that the
ater buildings may be covered with
asbestos roofs With this concession
Mr.. Nelm will proceed with his i'm
provement. Numerous other revisions
also will be made. The council COM
mittee appointed includes Councilmen
Scott, Brown and Humphreys.

SIXTY MINERS WORK
AT THE SUMMIT CAMP

GLOBE, Aug. 1S.-There are sixty
men at work at the Summit camp and
mine, under the direction of the Sum-
nit Mining company. A more enviable
field for a mining company to begin
operations in could hardly be'imagined,
and the outcome of assured success
cannot be avoided. A mine that could
pay the enormous profits that the Glib
son property did under the old regime,
when no thoroughly systematic mining
was employed, should have a bright
dividend paying future in the hands of
President Eaton and his associates. AS
far as available and immediate assets
90. the old dump that has accumulated
in past years is the most evident re-
sources to the casual observer. Here lie
at least 100000 tons of ore that aver
ages about 6 per cent copper. Accurate
measurements cannot at present be Civ
en-, and although survey has been
made of this dump and elevations have
been taken, calculations of the ultimate
tonnage are not yet at hand. The fig
ures given above, of 100000 tons, are,
however, perhaps too conservative for
good judgment.

THE HARVESTER BREAKS
RECORD At CLEVELAND
Stallion Might Have Beaten Cres-
ceus' Mark Had Driver GeerS
Extended Him

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Aug. 1S.-An-
other worlds record was broken at the
grand circuit races at North Randall
park today The Harvester, driven by
Ed Geers, won the two heats of the
2:06 trot in 2:04 IA and 1903 Ia respec-
lively, making the two fastest heats
ever trotted in race by a stallion.
Incidentally The Harvester clipped
one second off his own record equaleu
the stallion trotting record made by
Cresceus at Brighton Beach in 1902
and set a new mark for 5-year-old
trotting stations in race in the Sec
ond heat.
The stallion had such a big lead
over Sonoma Girl Wilkes Heart and
ORC that Geers did not extend him in
the stretch. Had he done so The Har-
vester would have eclipsed Cresceus'
record of 2:02 Ia made against time
at Columbus in 1902, which still stands
as the stallion trotting record.
The final heat of the 2:17 trot, un-
finished from yesterday, developed a
pretty fight between Dovell and But
terbrook, each of whom had won two
heats, until the three-quarter pole,
when Butterbrook broke and DoVell
won without trouble
Acting on instructions from Cover
nor Harmon, Sheriff A. j, Hirstius and
a corps of deputies ralded the pettlnS
shed shortly after the races began.
AS far as making arrests were con-
cerned the raid was ineffective, as the
tip had been given and the nookies
disappeared.
Hundreds of others, however, had
not been warned and the sheriff found
them standing patiently in long line
before the betting shed. Protesting
bitterly, they were hustled out of the
shed. A number Of these disappointed
bettors spent fruitless evening hunt
ing for the bookies with whom they
made thier wagers. Summary
2:12 pace $1,000, three in fve-Peter Pan won,
Colonel Forest second, Sunny Jim third; best
time, 2:O5A

VOTE DOWN ORDINANCE
FOR MUNICIPAL BAND

LONG BEACH, Aug. 13.-An ordi-
nance was introduced in the council
last night calling special election for
August 81 to vote on special tax
levy to raise funds to pay for mu-
nicipal band and various improve
ments. Admitting the Importance of
the items for which the proposed levy
would be used, the council voted down
the ordinance.
The councilmen who opposed the
election call contend that no election
is necessary and that provision for
the city's running expenses can be
made in the budget. Mayor Windham
considers that the budget is closed,
while these members of the council
claim that they have another chance
at its revision. In this they were up
held last night by Attorney j. e. Daily.

HALIBUT FLOP FROM SEA
INTO FISHING LAUNCH

LONG BEACH, Aug. 13-Thirty hal
ibut of unusual size, measuring each
three feet In length and eighteen
inches across their broad, fiat sur
faces, Topped into the launch Reta
and were captured while the fishing
boat plowed its way through an enor-
NOUS school of the fish off Newport
The Reta returned to the dock at the
Western boat works last night with
the fish aboard. Not one of them
showed the cut or tear which would
have been made by a hook.
Capt. Guy Griffith was in charge of
the launch and had three other men
with him. They described their expe-
rience as so startling as to make them
almost believe the fish were possessed
of some strange, unusual power. Sew
eraI of the halibut were restrained
with difficulty from Topping back over
the deck rail into the sea.

GOVERNOR CLAMPS
OHIO BETTING LID.
Gambling on Racing at the North
Randall Track Comes to
Sudden Stop
(Assnciated Pressl

CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 1S.-Acting
under peremptory instructions from
Governor Harmon, the county authorl-
ties today clamped the lid on the
betting ring at North Randall track,
three hours before the closing of the
grand circuit race meet. AS result
it is predicted the track may be closed
permanently.
Sheriff A. ]. Hirstius retired from
the raid with his pockets, his hat and
the fullness Of his shirt stuffed with
currency, and tonight a swarm of ag-
grieved bettors are looking through
the downtown streets for the book
makers armed with tickets that have
not been redeemed.
Mysteriously the bookmakers learned
at noon that a raid was scheduled.
Bon6smen were on hand to provide
bail. Nevertheless at $3.50, when the
sheriff with his deputies appeared. the
bookmakers were in full voice and a
string of contented winners was
swarming past the little stands en-
gagged in cashing in.
The sheriff boarded the first stand
and seized the box of money. His chief
deputy made as quick work of the Sec
onQ, ana twenty otneTS ruSueu OoWH
the line. The "bookies" promptly van
ished and the ticket holders, alarmed,
made haste to the grandstand One
bookmaker seized his book, but scat
tered greenbacks and gold from it in
his flight, and the sheriff and his dep
uties gathered it up. The betting ring
was cleared and those bettors who
braved the law to ask the money back
were informed that the cash would be
turned over to charity.
The raid followed sharp instructions
from the governor that the law against
public betting must be enforced.

TAFT'S SPEECH TO
SET THE KEYNOTE
President to Deliver One Address
to National League of Re-
publican Clubs
ASSOCIATED Press)

BEVERLY, Mass, Aug. 13.-Presi-
dent Taft has decided to accept the
invitation to address the National
League of Republican clubs at Carne-
gle hall, New York, on September 30
There is likelihood that this will be
the presidents one speech of the cam
paign, and as he will be surrounded
by political atmosphere, it is prob
able that politics will enter largely in
to what he has to say.
The speech may prove to be a key
note of the campaign, for Mr.. Taft
will give a resume of what the Re-
publican party has accomplished since
his administration began and what il
hopes to ccomplish If continued in
power.
Lloyd C. Griscom, president of the
New York Republican county commit
tee, is spending the night at the Taft
cottage. Other than to say that he
came to discuss the situation in New
York state with the president, and
that he would return to New York to-
morrow, Mr.. Griscom was uncommuni-
cative.
TALKS WITH HARDING
Warren G. Harding, the Republican
nominee for governor of Ohio, spent
more than two hours with President
Taft this afternoon, He was accom-
panied by Senator Diok and Congress
man Longworth, who came to Beverly
to see the candidate.
Messrs. Dick and Longworth also
participated in the conference with the
president
1t is said the leaders realize they
have the fight of their lives on their
hands. They are not attempting to
keep the president in ignorance of the
situation. AS a result it is said the
Republican campaign is being planned
on a more extensive scale than at any
time in the past.
A new chairman of the state execu-
tive committee to succeed Wade Fl.
Ellis was talked over with the presi-
dent today, but 1t was said no decision
had been reached.
REORGANIZATION
Politics having held the stage
throughout the day at Beverly, there
was much discussion among the cali
ers of the proposed reorganization in
certain circles within the Republican
party. No statement was forthcom-
ing, however, either from the presi-
dent or Secretary Norton. The execu-
tive offices were swamped with tele-
grams regarding the new situation,
but their contents were not made
public.
A number of political leaders are
coming to Beverly next week, and
their aid will be enlisted in. the new
plans.
The commissioner of Indian affairs,
Mr. Valentine. came to Beverly today
in response to a message from the
president, and talked with Mr., Taft
regarding the Indians and their lands.
Taking advantage of the recent dis
closures as to the Indian lands, and
the public interest in the subject, the
president, it is said, will devote a
portion of his message to congress to
the recommendation of laws that will
surely safeguard the lands to the uses
Of the Indians and that will cut off
the possibility of any more enormous
attorneys fees.
