TURNER TO MEET ANDERSON.
Will Clash at Gayety Next Tuesday
Night.

Joe Turner. the local wrestler. is sched-
uled to meet Sam Anderson. the Eng
lishman, holder of the Lord Lonsdale
belt, in an international championship
match to decide the middle-w light
championship of the world.
Some weeks ago Anderson threw Tur-
ner off the mat in a match down South
and the latter wound up the bout by
getting a double bar strangle on his
man and losing on a foul. The ac-
counts from the Bristol papers speak
of unfair tactics by the Englishman. and
say Turner should have been given the
bout on the same principle.
The match will be held at the Gayety
Theater next Tuesday night for a purse
offered by Manager George Peck.

Plass OF the board of governors of the
Automobile Club to hold an endurance
run in addition to hill climb and floral
parade in the spring have met with the
hearty accord of Washington motorists.
The idea of the run, with the start and
finish in Washington each day, has ap-
pealed to many who felt when the ques-
ton of a run was first brOached they
could not spare the time from their busi-
ness. As things now are they will be in
the city long enough each day to attend
TO whatever business details may demand
their personal attention. 1t is expected
the entry blanks for the run will be
out some time during the first part OF
next week.
'"The South promises to be one Of the
fertile fields for the automobile this
year" said c. c. Edwards, OF the E. r.
Thomas Motor Company. who has just
returned from 4 trip through the coun-
try below the Mason and Dixon line. He
is the guest of David Hendrick, local
representative of the Thomas cars.
The sudden change in the weather yes
terday caught many automobile owners
unawares, and as a result quite a few,
cars were frozen up. The majority of
those frozen were machines kept in pri-
vate garages, and cars from which the
anti-frcezing compounds had been drawn
from the radiators at the first sign of
spring.

that in the first reliability contest held

and covered 500 miles, a 1911 Cadillac was

perfect score. The sandy roads OF the
Lone Star State proved the undoing OF
many of the cars, which were unable to
make the twenty miles an hour schedule.

Clyde Milan, the Nationals speedy little
outieIder, is superstitious chap. and in
some cases lets his imagination run away
with him. He usually picks out a bat
early in the season and sticks to the one
club-that is, he sticks to it until it be-
gins TO chip or peel; then he has no use
for 1t, and while the value of the stick
has not been impeired. Milan believes its
usefulness IS over and throws it away.
In one series against Detroit in Wash
ington last summer, when Milan cracked
out four hits in one game, he picked up
his bat after the battle and noticed that
the wood near the end of the stick had
started to peel. I'll never have any
more luck with that stick" he said, and
was on the verge of tears. Some of Mi
lan's friends prevailed on him to give
the bat one more trial, which he did:
and he struck out three times. He ended
up by throwing the club over the fence,
and the next day dropped into a sport
ing goods store in search of another
stick.
Trainer Joe Quirk believes that John
Henry will some day be the greatest ball
player in the world. Quirk says: That
fellow Henry can play any position on
the club except pitch. McAleer don't
need to worry about his outfield with
Henry on the bench, for 1 believe Henry
could jump right in and make good"
1T is an i'll wind that blows nobody
good" This time-worn maxim applies to
Jonh Henry. for had not Sommerlott
been detained from camp because Of an
afiiction OF his eyes McAleer probably
would not have discovered how well John
Henry could play first base
Henry was signed as a catcher. All
his early training was behind the bat,
but as he is a natural-born ball player
possesses all the physical requirements,
is quick thinker, and quick to learn
il is not surprising that he takes to first
base as a duck does 10 water

welt more opportunity TO practice at first,

The movement was so rapidly executed that it was moment before the crowd knew what had happened Then Balsz's supporters went wild. They were sure that Danny would make quick work of Johnson after that
 Johnson looked surprised. but not greatly alarmed. He had not seemed to be working hard and right up to the time Balsz Topped it had looked like the Swede had things going his way.
 When the two big fellows again came together Johnson was more cautious. He was also a little faster and apparently more determined It was evident that he was really try ing to throw Balsz

THIS TOWN HAS GROWN

| R D. French, former resident and | travelling man of this city. came to l town yesterday after an absence of five years. and naturally he say many things he had not seen when he left He | quickly arrived at the conclusion that
 there are only two towns in all the west that are growing so fast that the | growth may be observed one of these
 is Phoenix and the other is San Diego.
 the home of Air. French who. by the
 way. respresents the Watson Mill com pany of Wichita. His territory em braces the whole United States west of the Rocky mountains. He does not, of
 course. cover it all himself but has
 half dozen travelling men under him.
 Mir French like everybody else in-
 tcrested in the milling business. is just
 now thinking more of the reciprocity agreement than anything else The pre- vailing opinion is that it will put all the mills in the interior of the coun- try out of business. However, he says that all admit that before final judg ment is passed they will await a trial of the treaty.
 Speaking Of the Mexican war Mir. French says that though he has read much sent out from San Diego regard ing it. on the ground it is regarded as a joke and is never alluded to when there is anything serious on hand. And there is something serious just now.
 In some way unknown to the San Diegans a man named Block has se cureF a concession from the Mexican government for the conduct of prize fights at Tia Juana. This was tried once before but influence was brought upon the Mexican government through the state department and the cOnces- sion was refused. But now it has been granted and it is proposed by Block to make Tia Juana the mecca on the west ern continent for "pugs," race track followers and other gamblers.
 Efforts are also being made to secure the largest of the Coronado islands for ! and it is predicted by those ! interested in such things that within | a year there will be laid there the foun- dation for an American Monte Carlo.
 The people of san Diego are trying 1 to devise a means ol defeating all these schemes. but SD far no plan has been1 thought out.

 the slightest chance for Dan to get away. He was in terrible pain and
 his friends began to yell to him to give up But BalsZ was game. Fully | half minute he withstood the tor ture and then turned upon his hack Johnson was veritable whirlwind when he and Balsz again went to
 the mat. He had always scene rather slow, but his slowness was now all gone. Like a mad bull he went after his adversary. slamming and tossing Dan about as though he had been a feather pillow. The house was in a constant uproar.
 From the moment that Johnson be- gan to show speed the result could he easily foreseen. When. at the end 0. ten minutes. he got a double bar-lock hold on Balsz and pushed his shoul- ders against the mat. there was eX- citement, but not surprise Balsz's supporters had been hoping that he would make another clever flop and win the match, but their hopes wer. doomed to disappointment
 The Majestic was packed and damned with a crowd of five or six hundred. No larger crowd ever saw wrestling match in this city. and no Phoenix crowd ever saw d better match. Balsz's friends were greatly in the majority. and they bet hun dreds of dollars on their favorite. After the match there was a grand rush by those who had put their cash on Johnson to collect from the stakeholders.
 In the preliminaries Charles and Augustine Leroy gave a clever ten minute exhibition. Joe Encinas took two falls from Albert Lopez in four minutes and half a minute. respective ly. Walter Righetti lost two falls tn Otto Tribolet in four minutes and three minutes. All the preliminaries were very good.
 Johnson's superiority over Balsz was clearly demonstrated and there is no talk of another return match As interest in wrestling has been aroused to such d high pitch. however, John son will try to find some other classy mat artist and arrange a meeting.

held in the Central school building
 The money to be raised in this way is to be used for the purchase of one or more sites for school houses and the erection of one or more school buildings. The bonds proposed are to be issued in the denomination of sl 600 each and are to run for twenty years, bearing per cent. interest.
 Those who have followed school af- fairs are aware of the urgent necessi- ties of the district. namely more school buildings for present needs and more sites for the needs Of the near future. The proposed bond issue, if ordered. win bring the bonded in- debtedness of the district almost up to the limit of the law, else it is likely still larger bond issue would be asked for The district needs a great deal more money for these improve ments. but this is practically all that can be secured by this means until the valuation of the district is in creased.
 A school meeting was held recently. when the matter was thoroughly dis cussed and the trustees authorized to ask for this money. and at the same time were instructed to be in re- captive attitude toward propositions to buy the Central school site. or a DOT ton of it. with the idea that if suf ficiently alluring offers were made the electors could consider the question of selling to secure the funds needed for other buildings. and sites that will be required in the near future, but probably not until after real estate values have greatly advanced.
