Game as they ever made them in the
world, the plucky little local favorite
motorcycle rider was on the turf yes
terday looking filter than any fiddle
that was ever handled by Paderewsk1'
Eddie Lingenfelder, looking like new
born, was on the streets satisfied with
every condition that might be men
toned concerning himself and his abll-
ity to go some on the saucer track at
the Coliseum next Sunday against the
F'renchman, Jake De Roster, who by
the way, skins about unheralded and
unsung, but with the streak of long
green with him that purchases neck
ties and gloves and shirts and such
things and occasionally a fine dinner
at one of the ultra swell cafes with
which Los Angeles abounds.
Mention De Roster to L1ngenfelder
and one of those pleasant smiles comes
over the face of the local boy which
is tantalizing and indicates the conf
dence he possesses in his own ability
to outride the foreigner and retain the
motorcycle glory for the city of crys-
tallized wings.
1t is the contention of Lingenfelder
himself and of his friends that never
has the local boy been in the fine and
fit condition in which he is at present.
He has been consistent in his practice
during the past week and has adhered
strictly to the sanctimonious lines in
cnmbent upon all athletes when about
to enter a contest of skill and endur
ance, and it may safely be believed
that Lingenfelder will go out on the
Coliseum track Sunday with better
judgment than he has ever shown on
the saucer track. inspired by the low
ing words of his faithful wife, whose
pride is that of her husbands winning
on the board track.
Mrs. Lingenfelder is utterly opposed
to her better half driving on a dirt
track, and it is to his eternal credit
that, much as his bones thrill and
ache to take a whack at the dirt rid
ers, he has suppressed the racing bug
sufficiently to hold his ambition sub
servient to the better wishes of the lit
tie woman whose heart is wrapped up
in the splendidly developed youngster
whose name she bears.
Jake De Roster the cold -blooded and
passonless rider, and who is today the
champion OF the world, walks about
with the air of Hamlet, solemnly
thinking of what he is to do with
Lingenfelder's coin. The event in

MOTOR CAR MAKERS
IN A HOT LEGAL ROW
EMF TRYING TO BREAK WITH
THE STUDEBAKERS
Latter Declares Detroit Company''
Advertisements and Statements
Are Misleading, and Case Is
Still In Courts

A merry war in the automobile trade
has begun in the east. The EMF
company has started proceedings to
cancel its contract with the Stude-
baker Automobile company. The mat
ter has been taken to the courts, and
in the meantime both companies are
claiming the license to sell the cars.
In an interview yesterday with
Chester N. Weaver, general manager
of the Studebaker interests in Califor-
mia, Weaver said that the fight by the
Studebaker company has just begun.
Weaver states positively that the Stu
debaker company will continue to sell
the EMF and Flanders machines, is
in a position to make contracts, and
that these cars undoubtedly will have
to make their appearance in California
through the StuGebaker company.
The following telegram was received
by Weaver yesterday from the Stude-
baker Automobile company:
Detroit company's advertisement
and kilograms to dealers just pro-
mulgated are misleading. Decision
referred to by Detroit company is
merely an interlocutory ruling in
stockholders suit, which suit is
still pending Motion to dismiss
bill filed by Studebaker company
was made by ourselves for prac-
tical reasons, and in no way affects
bill filed by Studebaker stockhold-
ers in EMF company which is
still pending. We have not begun
to fight yet. No court has passed
on the merits of the controversy.
Our counsel unanimous in opinion
of our success. Accept all orders
offered.
Weaver says further that the Stude-
baker company has expended great
many thousands of dollars in equip
ment, advertising and arranging for
facilities for the convenience of the
handling of the EMF business and
that the Studebaker company has no
thought of giving up the EMF line
"The Studebaker interests through
out the United States have sold ap-
proximately 1900 cars, to be manufac-
tured by the EMF company for deliv-
cry during 1910" says Weaver, land
the Studebakers do not propose to give
up this amount of business simply
because parties interested in the EMF
organization decree that they shall"

Back to San Francisco

Charles S. Howard, Pacific coast rep
resentative of the General Motors COM
pany. returned to San Francisco
Thursday after three days stay here
He reports the outlook for 1910 eX-
ceedingly bright. He was particularly
pleased with the showing made by
the Howard Automobile company and
predicts that they will double their
deliveries over the corresponding
months of last year.
Taking into consideration the fact
that the 1910 season. is just beginning
and that the Howard Automobile com
pany have delivered exactly forty ma
chimes this month from their floor, an
idea of the enormity may be grasped.
October was the next best month with
thirty-four cars delivered; November
next, with thirty-one deliveries to its
credit, and altogether eighty-eight car
loads have been distributed in South
ern California for the year 1909

HOLLYWOOD CHURCHES
PLAN IMPROVEMENTS

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 31.-The Cath
olic parish of this city is planning a
social hall, which will be erected ad-
Joining the church on the south and
facing Magnolia avenue, which Will
be built within the next month or So
AS soon as the plans are completed the

social center of the members of the
congregation. 1t will contain an audi
torium with a stage and dressing
rooms, banquet hall and kitchen.
This is only one of the additions TO
church property that will be built with

AS WIDOW, WOMAN
FINDS OUT HOW HER
NAME is SPELLED

SANTA ANA, Dec. S1.-Mrs. Sadie
Steydert, widow of Emil Steydert, who
was killed by vicious horse about
month ago somewhere between Ana
helm and Garden Grove, has only now
discovered that her husbands name is
properly spelled "Steydert."
Although she had been married many
years, she had always supposed the
name was "Stayart." For six years
she and her husband had lived apart,
but today she was granted papers of
administration on her husbands estate,
which, so far as can be found out,
amounts to but $500, although the
man had been farming on a big scale.
When Mrs. Steydert and her attorney
went to the ranch house after her hus-
bands death they found his trunks had
been broken open and robbed. A gold
watch and money he was supposed to
have are not to be found.

HOLLYWOOD BONDS
STRONGLY FAVORED
Legal Points Have Arisen in Regard
to the Letting of the Contract
for New School
Building
rsneoial to The Herald.l

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 31.-Some un-
easiness is being felt in regard to the
500 900 bond issue that is to be voted
upon by the taxpayers of the Holly
wood Union high school district next
Monday. The sentiment seems favor
able all through the district, but the
legal points which may be involved in
the letting of the contract for the build
ing is the dubious part.
The contract cannot be let until the
money has been secured from the sale
of the bonds. If this matter can be
pushed through in time, the present
board will let the contract and all Will
be well. If not, it is claimed the Los
Angeles board of education cannot let
the contract.
The trustee board has advertised for
bids for the construction of the build
ings, which will be opened January IL.
This will give two weeks for the county
supervisors to sell the bonds and secure
the money.

THE DAILY PRESS HAS FAITH
IN THE PENINSULA.

The Daily Press has great faith in
Newport News and the rest OF 'he
Peninsula, and is abou, TO prove its
faith by its works. In the news columns
OF this paper today announcement Is
made that The Daily Press. lncorpo-
rated. has awarded the contract Tor
the construction of a model newspaper
building i'm which Is to be installed an
enlarged and improved plant. inciud-
ing one of the finest perfecting print
ing presses that money can buy. Inc
new building, the site and the add
lions and improvements to The me-
chanical equipment will represent an
outlay of thirty thousand dollars or
more on the part of the company.
This should be sufficient proof that
The Daily Press is not INDUCING in
idle talk when ii expresses conf
dence In Newport News and voices
the belief that the entire Peninsula
section is destined to become
buster and more prosperous commun-
ity
With the new equipment The Daily
Press will be able TO put out the larg-
est and best newspaper ever publish
ed on the Peninsula. For several years
the paper has been seriously handi
capped by lack Of equipment. but the
improved plant will be more than ade-
qrate for the present and will meet
all demands for some time to come.
OF course the full Associated Press
aeport will be received as in the past,
and 1t Is planned to extend the spe-
cial correspondence service. an es-
pecial effort being made 10 cover fully
the happenings in the rural districts
OF the Peninsula.
It is the purpose OF The Daily
Press to give the Peninsula the very
best paper it will support, and we
trust that It will be only a matter OF
a few years before it will support one
of the best in the State.
