Los Angeles Welcomes
COaSt-TO-COaSt Cars

LOS ANGELES. Cal, August 10.-To
the accompaniment of the music Of
several brass bands and the honking OF
hundreds Of automobile horns, the
transcOntinental caravan of ten Premier
touring cars, the prairie schooner bag
gage car and the pilot machine driven
by Ray Mcnamara, arrived in this city
today from san Francisco. The occa-
sion was made a holiday by Los An
geles motorists, hundreds of whom met
the tourists at the city limits and sew
eral miles out.
Now that the cars are at the end of
their journey, the remarkable showing
they have made can be appreciated.
That the mechanical trouble consisted of
only three broken springs for the en-
tire trip of 1900 miles Is regarded as
good proof of the existence of a trans
continental automobile highway suit
able for the use of the amateur owner
driver.
It is the intention Immediately to be-
gin a campaign to raise millions for the
improvement of the transcontinental au-
tomObile highway, and if that is done
II is the belief of the Premier pathfind-
ers that ocean-tO-ocean touring will
soon be so common as to attract little
or no attention. At present II is said
there are no unSurmOuntable difficulties.
although there are miles and miles OF
roads that are about as bad as they
possibly could be and remain passable.

Marty O'Toole Makes
His Debut This Week

PITTSBURG. Aug. 1O-JTnIess present
plans miscarry. Marty O'Toole, the Pr:
rates $22,5OO beauty, will make his debut
in PtttSburg uniform at Cincinnati this
week.
From a creditable SOURCE comes the
information that it is the desire of the
Pirate officials to give the ST Paul
wonder chance to break in while the
they will accord OToOle an opportunity
to get acquainted with the Pittsburg
players, as we'll as their style of play
before he will have to face a critical
audience at Forbes Field.
According to the information at hand
President Dreyfuss and Manager Clarke
are desirOus of introducing the new man
to PittsburgeTs after he has had a
chance to show what he can do in the
big show. O'TOOle recently wrote to
Pittsburg friend stating that he would
report to the Pittsburg club next Fri
day." he forgetting that there was still
a Friday to come in the week then
passing. Marty meant the Friday of
the week following; and when 1t was
printed here that the phenom was to
have reported last Friday, the club Of
ficials very properly denied that such
was the case.
Now. however, 1t is stated on the au-
the Cincinnati club, against which Pitts
burg plays tomorrow, Saturday, and
Sunday, at Cincinnati. that O'Toole will
report in Redland Friday. and that he
will pitch either on Friday or Satur-
day This information was vouChsa fed
by Mr.. Herman to a newspaper man
in his city.

Invited To Annual Meeting
Of Manufacturers Con-
test Association.
STOCK CAR EVENTS
TO BE CONSIDERED
Question Of Desirability In Pres
ent Numbers Interesting
Automobile Men.
BY HARRY WARD.

Automobile sports will receive at
tention at the annual meeting Of the
Manufacturers Contest Association,
which begins today in Detroit. The
leading manufacturers who support
racing and various other forms of
contests, racing officials and racing
drivers have been invited to attend
the sessions of the association and
offer suggestions looking toward i'm
provements in the conduct of auto
mobile sporting events.
One of the big questions to be de-
termined relates to stock car events.
The big question is whether stock car
events are desirable in present num-
bers. Whether elimination of weight
restrictions in such events is desir-
able is another important question to
be decided. There is much to be said
in favor of limiting the number of
annual stock car events and thus cut
down the tremendous detail which has
been forced upon the contest board
through the establishment Of the
stock car registration scheme The
board should devote more attention
to the granting of sanctions, the
safety of tracks, the classification and
registration of racing drivers, but
TINS now is neglected in great part
because the board is tied up all the
time with detail work.
Inc meeting beginning today is sure
10 result in a vast Improvement in
the conduct of automobile events,
Leroy Mark, who nolds a special dis
pensation from John E. George, COM
missioner of motor vehicles of MARY
land. TO issue Maryland automobile
licenses to Washington motorists, has
issued forty-nine licenses within the
last few days. Among those who have.
been granted Maryland licenses are

Protest Game Because
Ball Goes Into Crowd

Members of the Kendall team, of the
Independence League, today said that
while no official notification has been
sant to the secretary OF the league, they
S1tend to protest the game lost to Man
haitian yesterday on the following
grounds:
In the fifth inning r. Rawlings, of
Manhattan, drove the ball through an
opening in the crowd in center field for
the circuit, with two men on the bases
Before the game was called ground
rule was made by Umpire Newman
that, owing to the large attendance, a
hit into the crowd would go for two
bases only The crowd extended from
both foul lines out into left and right
field, but the two sections>of people
didn't quite meet in center field, and it
was into this opening that Rawlings
drove the ball for a homer. 1t was this
hit that practically won the game for
Manhattan, as the two teams at that
time were fighting neck and neck, the
score being 30 in favor of Manhattan.
Kendall players claim that the ball
went into the crowd according to the
ground rules established by Umpire
Newman, but the jumps held that there
was no crowd there. Under the Kendall
protest, the drive should have gone for
two sacks only, and 1t was this play
that caused defeat for their team.

four leagues, the presidents of the
leagues will probably draw for their rep

Postoffice and Commerce and Labor
play the second of the three-game series
for the Departmental League champion
ship today. Postoffice has won the
the first of the three games, and should
the Mailmen win today, they will cop

league Hamline and Sherwood will meet
tomorrow. and should Sherwood win the
race will be tied, and extra games will
be necessary.
In the independence League should
Kendall win from Manhattan next Mon
day the race in that league will be a
draw, but should Manhattan win. II
Will be the league winner In the Olym-
pia League Braddock must win from
Southland on Saturday and lose to Sill

comes to pass, Southland will have the
pennant in the Olympia League won.

Scouting Found Good In
Wisconsin And Illinois

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Aug 10-Big
league scouts are finding the Wiscon-
sin-Illinois circuit excellent territory in
which to pursue their operations. Bob
bic Gilks, scout for the Cleveland team,
spent several days in Rockford looking
over the local pitchers. He was pleased
by Slapnicka, the star Of the Rockford
hurting staff, and wired Cleveland to
snap up Slap Immediately. Gilks de-
clared Slapnicka the best minor league
pitcher he has seen in action this year.
He saw Hovlick pitch at Peoria a few
days before the Chicago White Sox
snapped him up, but he declared Slap
nicka much superior to the White Sox
recruit.
Gilks was also favorably impressed
with the work OF Kench and Marshall,
two other Rockford pitchers and Groe-
ling and Hecktnger of the Racine team,
following the latter to their own town
to look them over closely. Manager
Hoffman of the Racine team thinks
Groeling is the best outfielder in the
league since the days of Felix Choui-
nard, now with the White Sox

September IS Date For In
structions And Distribu-
ton Of Suits.
FIFTY CANDIDATES
READY FOR RIGORS
Many Of Last Years Players
Are Looked For This
Fall.

Georgetown's football squad will re-
port at the Ryan gymnasium on Fri
day, September Is. for instr uctions, and
the distribution of suits, and the first
practice will be held the following day
at Georgetown Field. Tis date has
been selected following correspondence
between Coach Nelson and Captain
Daley, who is at present at his home in
Brockport. n. Y.
1t is expected that within a few days
after the beginning Of regular work
there will be at least fifty candidates
on the field. all of last years players,
with the exception of three, being
among them.
This will give the coach an excellent
squad to start with. but Judging by
reports being received from different
prep schools, the veterans will be
forced to work hard to retain their
positions. John Joyce, of Lynn High
School, who has great reputation as a
halfback in scholastic circles in Missa-
chusetts, will be on hand to try for the
back field, while Harry Costello. hero
of the victory over Virginia last No.
vember, will bring with him a freshman
named O'Brien. of the Meridian High
School, who was chosen tackle for the
picked scholastic team of Connecticut
last fall.
Captain Daley expects to be able to
induce Frank Davis, the varsity base
ball player. to come out for the eleven,
in which case he will be played at quar-.
terback. thereby causing a shift Of Cos
tello to halfback. where his drop-kick-
ing will be especially valuable
To fill the vacancy of Fitzgerald
Bryant will be moved to guard and
Hart will be used at tackle.
This would indicate that the Blue

which, in addition to others, contains a

BOWlerS Plan Mass
Meeting For Tonight

It is expected a definite plan for hold
ing the National Bowling Associations s
tournament in Washington will be de-
Cided upon tonight, when the Capital
bowlers will meet at the Chamber Of
Commerce.
The committees which were appointed
at the last two meetings will make their
reports and final details for the 1872
tournament will be discussed.
Already several prominent business
men of Washington have promised their
support to the proposition, and 1t is
thought the Chamber Of Commerce, re-
alizing what an advertisement the
tournament would be for Washington,
Will have some inducement to offer.
Every Washington bowler is urged to
