"
Local Club Team Wins Doubles Cham
pionship and oordo Whelan
Takes the Honors
at Singles

With Gordo Whelan's victory over
"Migie" Mcclure, the champion Olym-
pic club handball player of san fran
cisco, the Pacific coast championships
in handball singles and doubles re-
mained in the custody of the Los An
geles Athletic club representatives until
they Journey to the northern metropolis
in the near future to play the return
games.
When Whelan and Mcclure went
over the best two in three route before
a crowded gallery of intensely inter-
ested spectators yesterday those gal
leryites were given the greatest hand
ball treat in the history of the game in
Southern California. The first game
went to the visitor By the score OF Il
to 49, This game was as good as the
score indicates, and Gordo, getting a
bad start, played the greatest uphill
game ever witnessed on'the court. Inc
second was another terrific contest, IN
which Whelan figured in several spills
on the floor in his desperate attempts
at returns. This do-or-die style of
playing finally won, the result being
q to II. In the deciding game
"Migie's" lack of condition, when COM
pared to the superb condition of his
opponent, became very apparent, and
Gordo, with ripping finish, clinched
the wagers made by his hackers by the
score OF IL TO D.
Previous to the championship event
Al Hampton, who was McGuire's run
ming mate in the doubles of the day
previously, mingled with w. P. Rey-
nolds, who helped Gordo bring home
the bacon in the doubles of that day,
their miXup resulting in an easy VIC
tory for the Athletic club entry, the
score being q to IL and q to 8.
In the fiVe-game series for the cham
pionship in doubles, played Saturday,
in which Whelan and Reynolds repre-
sented the Athletic club and MCGUIRE
and Hampton the northern institution,
the local team captured the first two
games rather easily by the scores of
q to and 81 to 8. But in the third
game the visitors got on to their stride
and the best exhibition of handball
doubles ever played under the Athletic
club roof resulted, the northerners
finally winning by the close score of
21 to 20. This strenuous struggle kept
the onlookers, who crowded every point
of vantage, on edge, and the roofing at
times would have made All army of
rah-rah boys look like pikers.
Becoming more accustomed to con-
ditions, the visitors <romped home with
the next game in Jig time, winning by
the score of 81 to IA. This reversal of
form gave the situation a serious as
pect for the home boys, but their su-
perior condition told in the next game,
and they won by the score CT 81 to 10.
Gordo Whelan, the local club cham
pion, played a star game throughout,
and to his superior playing, though
Reynolds showed flashes of unusual
speed and dashing plays at times, is
credited the biggest share of the glory
of the win.

SAN BERNARDINO, Feb. 6.-Charles
Willis Herrin, a painter, was burned
to death at midnight last night in the
fire that destroyed his home.
Mutely written in the charred, black
ened form the little crowd of curious
spectators saw a terrible temperance
lesson. Intoxicated, Herrin was un-
able to escape from the flames that
licked up his little home.
John Mapstead discovered Herrin's
home in flames and turned in the fire
alarm. The blazing structure, how
ever was situated in the furthermost
corner of the city, just at the city
limits. Before the fire department
could arrive from San Bernardino's
only station, two miles distant, the
building was a. smoldering mass of
ruins.
When the walls fell in the spectators
were Mortified to see in the fickering
light of the flames a human form lying
on the blazing bed, Rescue was inn
possible, and the body was burned
almost to a crisp.
The origin of the fire is unknown,
but it is believed that lamp exploded.
The deceased was employed by Fred
Corliss, a roofing contractor, and yes
terday had made the final payment on
the little home which burned. He had
no relatives residing here.

HALF SATURDAY
HOLIDAY URGED
CAMPAIGN IN PASADENA Is
GROWING
MOVEMENT TO BE DISCUSSED AT
MASS MEETING TONIGHT
Ministerial Union Is Lending Its Sup-
port and Argument Is Made That
Earlier Shopping Means No
Less Business
fsneoial to The Herald. ]

PASADENA, Feb. 6.-The opening
gun in the campaign for general
Saturday half holiday in this city for
all workingmen, union and nonunion,
was fired yesterday when the members
of the Bricklayers' union and their
employers enjoyed the afternoon off in
accordance with recent arrangements.
Though the plasterers have been en-
joying this privilege for two years, and
officers of the union state that they
would not consider returning to the old
system, no concentrated effort has
heretofore been made to bring about
this condition for all workers.
The Pasadena board of labor will
take the matter up at its regular
monthly meeting in Carpenters hall
Monday evening and the Ministerial
union will lend assistance. The board
of labor is new organization of Ia
boring men made up of workers in all
trades in Pasadena, and it will serve
as a clearing house for ideas along
this line and other lines.
The Ministerial union has had reg
uIdrIY dccf6u1Ieu uGlSSdl6 III lit 16il-
trail labor council for nearly a year and
has taken considerable interest in the
affairs of the workingmen. The mat
ter of half holidays was given some
thought last spring, but action in the
matter was deferred.
This question was discussed In
formally at our last regular meeting,
says Rev. F. G. H. Stevens, secretary
of the Ministerial union, "and the mem
bers are heartily in sympathy with the
move l can remember he contin-
ued, when the stores here were open
until o'clock every night, and when
the hour was reduced to o'clock nc
apparent loss of business resulted. The
workingmen of Pasadena do not live
from hand to mouth and it is not nee
essary for them to wait until Saturday
night to do their shopping, hence the
merchants can afford to close at moor
and give the clerks, as well as others
a chance to have their recreation ano
prepare for Sunday.
mo, our action cannot be interpreted
as a trade with the workingmen," ht
replied to a question. I'VE are ready tt
help them in this move and they car

had no statement to make until after
the meeting Monday night.

CHARGE AGAINST DEPUTY
MAGILL MAY BE DROPPED
Trouble Between Cotton Officer and
Mexican to Be Allowed to
Go by the Board

SAN BERNARDINO, Feb. 6.-The in
yestigation into the alleged actions of
Deputy City Marshal Magill of Cotton
will in all probability be dropped. Dis
trict Attorney w. E. Bryne has dis
missed the case against the Mexican
whom Magill charged with assault
with a deadly weapon with intent to
murder him on the grounds that there
is insufficient evidence to warrant hold
ing the accused Mr.. Bryne, on the
same grounds, will not entertain a re-
quest for a warrant for MagllFs ar
rest.
The deputy marshal is alleged . to
have entered the home of a Mexican
bride-elect at Cotton several nights
ago. 1t is said he later returned with
friend and tried to force his way
into the house. He was fired upon.
Magill returned the fire and before
the affair was over a score or more
shots had been fired
The Mexicans of Cotton have made
up a purse to prosecute Magill.
