WORKING FOR GO JULY IS

Los ANGELES, July 7-Charley
Ledoux and Kid Williams are going
after the training stunt az though
they meant to make the July is bout
q businesslike affair. The two have
met IN the ring before, and as both
claim a victory at that meeting. the
rivalry is especially keen.

to be in great shape and went through
his best work outs since arriving in
California yesterday at his Vernon
camp. He showed considerable i'm

here.
At Venice Kid Williams gave a
large crowd of assembled fans a good
idea Of his condition and showed them
something OF what he intends to do to

The girl is an awful Motordrome

So she wrote TEX" that II he

Yes, 1t sounds like a press agents

the idea out Of a novel or a news

such places. But anyhow. the story
is true. If TEX" wins both races

KELLY GREATEST.
TIMBER TOPPER,
SAYS MITCHELL
Winner of the National A. A. U.
Championship Due to Hang Up
Wonderful Record.
By James S. Mitchell.
Worlds campion Weight Thrower.

NJ EW YORK, July Fred w
Kelly, Of the University Of
Southern California, the pres
ent Olympic high hurdling champion,
who Won the national A. A. U. title
at the Chicago carnival on Saturday
and who won the high and low hurdles
in the collegiate meet on Thursday,
is unquestionably the greatest tim
ber-topper on earth to-day.
On his native heath, Kelly has
equaled the worlds record OF Is sec
onds for the 120-yard hurdles, and
this feat for a young man OF 81 is
unprecedented in the history Of ath-
letics. What Kelly will do to the rec
ords In the years to come can only
be imagined.
Like a Bird Over Hurdles.
Long and powerful Of limb and with
great development Of the back mus
Giles, the Californian possesses the
ideal points of the real racer over the
sticks. When crossing the obstacles
he has such a fine spread that his
body does not have to rise high in
the air and he simply strides over
the hurdles, as It were.
uld not happen to get good look
at the Los Angeles man till he began
to practice at Stockholm prior to the
Olympic games last year. Without
delay picked him as the winner. de-
spite the fact that the Englishmen
were very sweet on their man Ander-
son, who was supposed TO have shown
10 seconds for the 120 yards.
Many Caught Time at IA AS.
Kelly justified my opinion by win
ming in 10 Ito seconds, in undoubted- =
~ the most sensational hurdle race
ever seen. Several private timers,
Americans as well as myself. made
the time IA As seconds.
J. 2. Sullivan, the American com
missioner, said it was the fastest hur-
die race he had ever seen, and is pre-
pared to see Kelly do better than Is
seconds any day.
The citizens Of Los Angeles con-
trtbuted the money to take Kelly on
the Olympic team, and their gener-
osity has been highly praised ever
since, and Kelly, by his great per
formances, has shown that his admir-
ers made no mistake.

Be Signed by Smith

Carl Thompson, former University

Manager Billy Smith to take the place
Of one Of his wavering hurlers-

on what terms can be agreed upon.

with Birmingham and was finally

local team he viii be a winner.

display of weakness in the Liverpool

(From Fridays Journal)
Reported sale of steers in the North
Portland yards yesterday afternoon
at 1915 was not exactly given the
proper way inasmuch as the stock
was sold weighed off cars, which is
practically 25c more than stuff that
had been weighed on the fill. Steers
that were even of better quality than
those sold weighed off the cars yes
terday afternoon at $S.75 were sold
this morning on the fill at $3.50,
therefore to all extent the market for
tops could scarcely be considered
above that figure.
The market for cattle is extremely
favorable at the moment and indica-
tions point to a very good feeling
within the immediate future. The
price here is the same as shown at
South Omaha, a condition that sell
dom exists. as the local market is
generally quoting a lower price than
that shown in the Missouri river
yards. The extreme price here clear
ly reflects the shortage of supplies in
this territory or within profitable
shipping distance.
