horns on bicycles and tricycles was IL
lustrated last night when Mrs. S. r.

became frightened as a mere child
riding a tricycle. footed his raucous
auto horn. Believing that she was in
the path of huge red demon" of the
auto type, Mrs Miller, who was cross
ing the street at the corner of Fourth
and Broadway, darted back TO the side
walk. She stepped in front of a bicycle
ridden by Z. Preston, 200 South Sa-
vannah street, and was knocked to tho
ground.
Assisted by a woman companion, Mrs
Miller was able to go to her home and
refused to be taken to the receiving

she was in the path of an auto when
she heard the footing of the horn, and
became confused She attached no
blame to Preston, who was riding the

II. Montgomery Budd, Yale man,
has secured a chic Los Angeles wife,
but he paid two license fees, two min
isters' fees and has the distinction of
being married to the same girl twice
within a week. Somebody bungled
Last Friday, Harold Montgomery
Budd, who is % years old and halls
from Meriden, Conn.,, and Miss Frances
Aileen Besselman, the 17-year-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Bes
selman of 1889 West Twenty-fourth
street, went to Santa Ana and were
secretly married, so they thought
Miss Besselman gave the name of
Frances Aileen Arnold, aged 19, of
Pasadena. Mr.. Budd did not travel
incognito. There they secured a Ii
cense and were married by the Rev
w. II. Wotton, rector of the Episcopal
church.
While none of the interested par
ties will admit it, the young couple
returned to the home of the brides
parents and gleefully. but with some
slight trepidation, sprung it.
What happened? Irate father?
Broken-hearted mother? Disinheri-
tance? Thrust out into the cold, cold
world, never to return? Not a bit
of it,
They had another wedding. 1t took
place at the Besselman home Wednes-
day night. Harold and Ateen were
already one. in the eyes of the law,
but evidently somebody besides the
law had a say-so in this case.
The wedding Wednesday night was
a much more pretentious occasion
than the Santa Ana affair There
were flowers, ice cream and music, a
best man and a bridesmaid.
The Rev. Baker p. Lee performed
the ceremony. After it was over, all
the friends and relatives, rather has
tily summoned and therefore just re-
covering from their surprise, gath
cred about Mr.. Budd and his girlish
wife and congratulated them. Very
blandly they accepted the proffered
good wishes.
The bridesmaid at the wedding
Wednesday night was Miss Caroline
King and the best man was Herbert
Bell.
Mr.. Budd is a Yale graduate and
contractor. He is beginning his career
in Vancouver, B. c., whence he will
take his bride.

CITIZENS OF CAHUENGA
ORGANIZE FOR BUSINESS
First Step Taken Is to Ask for School
Room for SIoyd Work as
Planned Long Ago

Property owners of the newly an.
neXed Cahuenga district met last even
ing at the social hall, corner of Day
ton and Melrose avenues, and effected
permanent organization as the Ca
huenga Improvement association. Con
stitution and bylaws We're adopted
and officers elected as follows: Presi-
dent, Henry Siemer: first vice presi-
dent, j. B. McLaughlin; second vice
president James Brown; third vice
president, Henry Morrissey; secretary
John Schlegel; treasurer, c. w. Har-
rison; sergeant-at-arms, NJ d. Clegs-
ton.
After discussing the school situation
C. w Harrison offered the following
resolution, which was Immediately
adopted:
Whereas: the board of trustees
of what was formerly the Cahuenga
school district, did, before our re-
cent annexation to the City of Los
Angeles, contract for sloyd benches
and tools, and left ample funds to
the credit of the district to pay for
the same, and for fitting up a room
for sloyd work and, whereas said
board fully intended, and would by
this time have said room fitted
up, and classes taught therein, and
whereas all contracts of said board,
entered into before annexation,
should be complied with by the city
board of education.
Be it therefore resolved, that a
committee of three be appointed
by the chair to interview the city
superintendent of school to ascer-
tain when said work would be in
stalled
G. w. Harrison, D. Ross and Henry
Siemer We're appointed.
That the association is composed OF
far-seeing and progressive men was
shown by the discussion which followed
regarding the sewer situation. 1t was
unanimously resolved as the sense oi
the meeting that, if it could be done
by cooperation with the city engineers
office, the sewers should be laid ready
for connection with the new outfall in
the streets to be improved, before the
paving is done.
The association adopted a resolution
fayoring the annexation of the East
Hollywood district, and pledged them
selves to a man to go to the polls to-
day and vote "Yes.'
After outlining the work to be ac'
complished by the association in the
way of street lighting, fire mains anc
plugs and street work, the meeting adj
journed to the night of March 3, place
the same as last night.
Petitions are now being circulated
calling for the Improvement of two
miles OF streets.

METHODISTS GREET
SCHOOL DELEGATES
Spirit of Advanced Methods in Con-
Quoting Morning Services for
Children Manifested by At
tendants at Meeting

The opening of the Sunday school
convention under the. auspices of the
board of Sunday schools of the Meth
odist Episcopal church last evening in
the First Methodist church manifested
the spirit of advanced methods in con-
Quoting the work of the Sunday
schools. 1t is expected that 1000 del
egates, consisting of the Sunday school
workers, will have enrolled their
names by the morning session today.
There was q large attendance last
evening and much interest was mani
tested. Rev. F. M. Larkin, superin-
tendent of the Los Angeles district,
presided. Rev. J. L. Pitner, superin
tendent Of the San Diego district, con-
Quoted the devotional service.
Rev. C. f. Locke, pastor Of the First
Methodist church, made an address of
welcome to the visitors and delegates,
placing much emphasis on the fact
that he is the director of the second
largest Sunday school in the world.
Rev. David G.. Downey of Chicago
made an able address on "Methodisms s
Greatest Opportunity" He said in
part:
1--WE appreciate the hearty recep-
ton given us in your beautiful city.
Our most important business is for
our King. The Sunday school cause
is one of the greatest in the church
work today for it is the salvation of
the children. 1t is the children who
are the redeeming feature of future
religious and business prosperity. The
child has great advantages over the
adult, for he has a long future to
which to look for good work.
"The children are too often consid-
cred of little consequence to gather into
the Sunday school and church. The
literature is along these lines. 1t
should be revered and the children
should have the advantage Of words of
wisdom"
This morning the convention will
open at $3.50 o'clock with devotional
exercises conducted by Rev. S. G.
Mather At 10 o'clock an address will
be made by Rev. Edgar Blake of Chi

At the evening session Rev. DR.. d. F..
Howe viii lead in the devotional SER
vice. DIR. Blake will make an address
on "Methodism's New Awakening"
The sessions will be held Saturday
morning and afternoon, and a banquet
will be rendered by the Methodist So
cial union in the evening at the Y. NJ.
c. A. Sessions also will be held on
Sunday, closing the convention in the
evening.

Big Four as starters and with sensa-

The list Of entries to the Grand Cir

that the tide is turning back Co the
trotter, and that the pacing gated

In the early days of the Grand Cir.

purses were offered for PAGERS outside
of a few minor meetings in Ohio, In.

NEW YORK, June 1S.-Following in
the wake of the unfavorable lcgisla"
ton against horse racing has como an
apparent lack Of public interest in the
turf. Whether this is only temporary,
or whether it is enduring, must be
established by the future. While in
terest has seemingly diminished in
saddle racing. it has apparently in
creased IN trotting racing. This is not
only evident in the east, but in the
middle west, as we'll. More attention
is being pand to trotting racing this
year than for long time.

COURT FOR "ST|CKE"
OPENED IN LONDON
Game Was Invented Years Ago.
and Yet Few Have Ever
Heard of 1t.
Special Cable to The Tribune.


LONDON. June 1S,--British army life
has served TO foster more kinds OF sports
than perhaps any other condition. 1t Is
doubtful II many American sportsmeu
ever heard OF a game called sticke. yet
a court for this game has been opened at
years ago by Major General Desmond
O'Callaghan. who tells its origin as fol-
lows:
"In the early sixties my half-brother
the late Mr. Julian Marshall (the author
Of The Annals OF Tennis, and a fine
player himself). improvised a tennis court
IN paved backyard In our home in York
shire. The roof of line OF low sheds
served Tor penthouse. the paving
stones. as in monasuc times. marked our
chases, the upper portion OF door was
our grills, three pigsties the dedans, there
vas a s,perhuity OF tambours. and chase
second pigety' (the winning gallery was
the last plgsty on the hazard side), gave
local color TO the marking. 1t made a
good game and taught me 10 cut the ball
when lawn tennis WAS first introduced
Into England II was under the name OF
Sphaeristlcke, and was played In court
which diminished in breadth from the
base line. hour-glass eashion. to a waist
at the net. Soon after its introduction
about 1872. with fresh memories OF the
old paved ward, and strongly reminiscent
OF the added value 10 such a game of
back and side walls. took counsel with
~ Nliioo-
buryness, and, with the aid OF some dam
aged nine foot by nine-foot artillery tar
gets. we built and foorcd our court. and
dubbed the game 'Shoeburynessticke,
which, obviously clumsy was soon short
ened to 'Sticke. Hence the name.
Dimensions Of Court.
"The dimensions OF the targets die
tated those OF the court, and nine feet
was convenient and sufficient height
for the walls, a wide out-of-play part
being added TO keep the ball in court. A
tape service line was soon found TO be
necessary, and its height was only set
tied after much discussion and trial At
first We had intended to have chases.
but we found that the difficulty OF mark
Ing was prohibitive, and with the aban-
donment of the chases came that OF ten
mis- scoring, which, meaningless without
the chases, gave way 10 the simpler
form OF scoring used In the name of
rackets. am told that the courts at
Shoeburyness have recently been length
ened, and this has. no doubt necessitated
an alteration in the height Of the service
line.
There are sticke courts now In many
garrIsons in England and abroad, and
one or two private courts. 1t is. In my
opinion, better game than squash rock
cts, in that four people can play and that
a single is not too exhausting in a hot
climate"
