TEX PROVES A LANDLUBBER
Especial to The Heraldl

AVALON, July 17.--With his good
eye" constantly scanning the speckless
blue of the ocean for the FIRST glimpse
of tuna, Jim Jeffries passed his first
day here with Tex Rickard and Jack
Ripper, fishing off Seal Rock from the
launch Aileen. The days catch was
one yellowtail weighing sixteen
pounds, taken by Tex; nine barracuda
and seventeen rock bass. All this was
done on light tackle.
No matter what happened at Reno,
jeff is looking and acting strong again,
and his high spirits were noticeable.
Nine of the rock bass were hooked by
the big fellow, whe early in the day
had pronounced himself too weak to
land any fish larger than a square
meal one" jeff was intent on captur-
ing a tuna, for he is after Tuna
club button, but there was nothing
doing for the former champion and he
was forced to be content with the de-
lectable bass, which served as good
dinner at which the wives of the trio
helped attest to the worth of t1shlng
as a provender provider.
For eight hours jeff and his two
companions remained off the rock. By
some oversight box of provisions had
been left on the dock when the Aileen
started out. and in the excitement OF
fishing was not missed until one Oh
the party, feeling a "goneness" at the
stomach, asked for something to eat
Water was also missing, as there was
but a small quantity aboard, and
finally the pangs of hunger and thirst
drove the trio ashore, just when the
fishing was at its best.
Left made a bee line for the hotel
the minute his boat grounded on the
pravel. II like my fishing, but oh, you
Tex!" exclaimed the big fellow. We're
going to the isthmus tomorrow, and
it's a cinch bet you won't be left In
charge of the commissary department.
Jack Ripper echoed these sentiments,
and for the rest of the day Tex was
in disgrace.

keep Hap and his flock fattening up
their percentage.
Local fans in all lines of sports have
lost the services of one of the shrewd-
est critics and far seeing judges of
everything pertaining to the world of
pastime this city has known. jay
Davidson rated as one of the most
competent sporting editors in the
country, has left Los Angeles to take
charge of the sporting pages of san
Francisco newspaper, and his genial
personality and expert opinions Will
be missed by large following While
many regret his leaving, those who
have Jays best interests at heart are
doubly happy in knowing he is we'll
located in the northern burg.
Reports from Catalina tell of the
success of the Jeffries- -Kipper- Rickard
party in hooking large-sized denizens
of the deep off Avalon. While he is
not mentioning the word light these
DAYS the big boy Is feeling his oats
again, and before long we may expect
an announcement from Tex Rickard
that he has arranged return battle
between Jeff and the smoke. When
Tex does make the announcement it's
a cinch bet it will be no false alarm,
for the good-looking sagebrush mag
nate will nave D0In enuS or the mdIcn
tied before he let's the public in on the
secret. All who saw the Reno disaster
are hoping Tex will connect with the
signatures for while there is a differ
ence of opinion regarding what jeff
might do the next time out, it's a
cinch he will be many hundred per
cent improved over his last shot at
the money.
Many local enthusiasts went down
to Tia Juana yesterday and took in
that poor apology for real sport-the
bull fight. The fans are certainly hard
up for a little amusement when they
will make a long trip to see a few old
crippled COWS led to slaughter, and
return to something better is certainly
much desired.
This afternoons game at Chutes
park will be for something besides
seeing which team can fatten up its
percentage in the league race. The
Haps and Dillonites have arranged
things so the loser is stung for a din
ner to the winners, and 1t will be
worth a days pay to each of the short
enders before their victorious oppon-
ents are through growing over the
viands set out for demolishment. A
friend to both teams who is there with
his trusty rifle has already provided
the piece de resistance, nice, fat deer,
and the ball tossers are sure of good
feed, no matter who is called on to pay
the check.

Charlie Gordon, the we'll known
Glendora orange grower. is telling a
good one on his brother, Hugh, and
Fred Schffmann, owner of the Big
Four ranch and one of Gordon's most
congenial neighbors. 1t went thusly
The day before the dove season opened
Fred and Hugh poured some fuel into
the Schiffmann automobile and hied
themselves TO town, intent on getting
a supply of shells. They accomplished
their purpose and started on the re-
turn to the woods. All went we'll I'M
til nearly at their destination, when
the machine refused to proceed.
Schiffmann and Gordon worked val
iantly. but it was nearly daylight be-
fore they were able to find the trou-
BILE and remedy it. Finally they did
arrive home and Immediately pro-
ceeded to get ready for the days
sport. Everything in, Hugh?' quer-
led Fred. "All ready" replied Cor
don. and the intrepid nimrods were on
their way to the happy hunting
grounds. A little" run of fifty miles
brought the scattergun artists to their
destination, and they stopped the gas
conveyance just in time to see the first
flight of birds coming over the grain
fields on which they were anchored.
Fine business!" both exclaimed, but
that was the end of the fineness. The
rest of the story is short and sweet.
Everything-shells, hunting coats, the
dog, ramrods, swab rags, refreshments,
lunch-had been piled in the tonneau
of the machine, but the guns had been
left at home.
Hen Berry's valiant band will de-
part tonight after the session with
Vernon for a short siege of away from
home victory grabbing. Little Hen
merry is swelled up like a poisoned pup
since his bunch struck their proper
stride, and at the outside is allowing
the Seraphs but two losses in each of
the foreign series. 1t has been rather
tough going during the past week for
the loyal fans, for no matter which
way they were pulling the home team
was sure to get the worst of it. Hap
Hogan's warriors are considered as
much a home team as the Berryites,
and when the two are forced to fight
each other right in plain sight of
friends and neighbors it makes it hard
for the rooter who likes to sit on the
fence and let his feet dangle. But
after today the Villagers will be the
only ones who can hear what the home
folks are saying about them, so the
fans will surely pile in and help pull
the Hoganites back to a contending
position. Sacramento which will play
the part of invader in the series pc

along at a merry clip, so it will need
