FRESNO PLAYERS ON
VERGE Of STRIKING
Send Round-Robin to President of
Club, and Trouble Is Ex-
pected This Week

FRESNO, June 13.-President Frank
Shuck of the Fresno Tigers was this
morning handed communication
signed by every member of the CLUB
with the exception of Manager McDon-
ough to the effect that If their salaries
are not promptly paid on the first and
fifteenth of each month the players Will
refuse to play on the Fresno team any
longer
The men declare that while no money
is due them at present they have been
compelled to wait too long in the past
after pay day in order to receive their
salaries. Shuck states that the com
munication sent him was inspired by
either local parties who desire to get
the Fresno franchise in the California
league away from him or else by some
of the disgruntled players who are IN
hopes of securing their release in or
der that they may be at liberty to play
elsewhere.
In either case Shuck declares failure
will be the result. If the San Jose
team comes to Fresno for the next
series and the striking players refuse
to play both President Shuck and Man
ager McDonough state they will have
team of "bushers" on hand to repre-
sent this city.

BEN LOMOND, June 13.-In line with
the whims of James j. Jeffries, the big
white fighter was up with the birds
this morning and before the camp was
awake and stirring he had completed
the burden of his days training task.
He had boxed nine businesslike rounds
and had completed the spectacular part
of the performance while no one was
looking, save his sparring partners.
In six of the rounds jeff boxed with
out taking q rest, alternating each
round with Berger and Choynskl. Then
Bob Armstrong was made to hustle for
three regulation rounds, after which
the sages of the training staff wisely
remarked that jeff has concluded that
he is about TO meet man In Jack
Johnson who has intimate knowledge
of the boxing game.
Straight from the boxing session,
jeff plunged into a quarter Of an hour
of shadow boxing. AS he was leaving
the gymnasium to engage in game
of handball, it was respectfully sug-
gested by Jim Corbett that more work
for the day might prove harmful, and.
with a grunt, jeff agreed. Having
done his lessons, the boilermaker gath
cred his fishing outfit ana started off
with his brother Jack for the trout
stream. He did not return until after

Every baseball fan who has been at
tending the Coast league games on
local diamonds this season has been
entertained and amused. as well as
somewhat excited, by the loud and
witty roofing of an individual who
generally comes on deck at about the
sixth inning and takes his seat in the
press box, where he begins a TRADE
against the opposing team and en-
courages the home team. Few have
known who this remarkably loyal and
effective rooter could be, so we will
divulge his identity right here and
furnish his picture as further identifi-
cation. Paul Browning is the score
card man at both tracks-diamonds
mean--and has been a resident of Los
Angeles for several years, ever since
racing began at Santa Anita, anyway.
He formerly was a grandstand book
maker at the races, but before he got
his bank roll he was owner of string
of one horse at st. Louis in the palmy
Los Angeles herald., 1910-06-14

old days of racing there, and also had
the program privilege at the Mound
city race tracks. He was known as
"Roseben" at the Santa Anita race
meetings, and made his acquaintance
with the Los Angeles sporting public
at the last race meeting at Ascot. He
is always pulling for the home team to
win, and nearly every winning rally
that has been started this season by
the home team has been inaugurated
by him. His stentorian tones and his
original witticisms have attracted at
tention even from the ratified players,
and they look for him and listen for
his encouraging words when in the rut
as much as a child would cry for Cas-
for-well, Paul is not in the oil business
yet, although he has stock in one
gusher-lingual. at that Paul never
had a regret in his life, because he al
ways has had enough "cush" on hand
to keep abreast the procession, and he
never had a sorrow except when the
home team was beaten.

The figures show that while the
Mah-pe and Mischief were first to re-
turn to the harbor the time allowance
they were compelled to grant to the
smaller boats enabled the latter to
close up the gap.
AS a test of speed the race around
Catalina is one of the flukiest contests
on the Pacific coast because of the
prolonged calms on the south side of
the island, where the westerly trades
seldom get near the water until half
way to San Clemente island.
All of the boats We're we'll sailed,
however, in spite Of the contrary con-
ditions and light winds, and the race
is a memorable one.
Commodore Smiths schooner, Sweet
heart, dropped into a calm for over
twenty-four hours and finished Mon
day afternoon, while the yawl Royal
did not finish. She sailed into Avalon
and the crew rested there on Sunday.

The latest attempt to steal the
breech of the 10 cannon, has been
made at Angouleme. The other morn
ing the men of the Thirty-fouuh artil-
lery regiment found that the breech
of a cannon was missing. lmmed-
lately all the barracks room doors
were locked and nonCommissioned of
ficers were placed Mt all the exits.
An investigation led TO a stable guard
coming forward with the statement
that he had seen a soldier carrying a
breech during the night. II was con-
cluded that the theft had been COM
mitted by men who were to be dis
charged that morning. They were
assembled. but the stable guard could
not identify the soldier he saw.
The breech weighed about so
pounds and the authorities thought If
IL had been thrown over the wall
traces of II would be found on the
ground A search was instituted, and
the breech was found in a footputh
bordering the barracks of the 10I in
fantry regiment 1t was concealed
under heap of herbs, There is now
no doubt that the piece had been
| stolen by soldier who was about 10
be discharged, and who intended 10
remove 1t from the path If II had not
been discovered.
