a part of Kansas that has experienced
heavy rains of late and the roads were
In bad condition. Penalties were al
most certain. . All the cars were in
good condition at the start and the

nt the near ending of the long Jour
ney. . .

any of the clean score.-. Five cars in
the contest for the Glidden trophy and
an equal number In the Hower trophy
clan yet have perfect scores. The two
Pierce-Arrows, the two Premiers and
a Marmlon arc perfect in the GUdden

with each measurement at the start of
the tour and the winner made known.
Chairman Hower stated that while
there were still five perfect scores
cars competing for the Glidden trophy
and five for the Hower, he believed
every car on the tour would be given
some penalties at the last test. When

out of order the drivers and mechanics
will be Instructed to make all repairs
necessary to put the machines in first
class running condition, and penalties

WHERE TO FISH
SALT water Ashing was never better
than during the last week, and
all along the coast from Balboa
to Port Los Angeles splendid catches
were made all. the week. Of course
there were off days at some of the re
sorts anil the rewards were not all first
prizes, but as a rule the fishing was
good everywhere.
For the first time this season the.
ebneflcent effects of the seining law
passed by the last legislature, forbid
ding the taking of corblna, yellowfln
and croaker except with rod and line, ,.
was felt to Its fullest extent, and be
cause of the fact that these game fish
are protected from the market fisher
men the sportsmen anglers who fish
for pleasure reaped a plentiful harvest
of these beauties.
The south coast, which for more than
two years has shown a dearth of cor
blna and yellowfln of any size, came
back last week with big runs of both
surf and yellowfln, and the average
catch was of one to three-pound llsh.
At Peck's wharf, where for two years
the fishing has been nil, there were
some splendid catches made. Both surf
and yellowfln were running ln num
bers and In large size, and a catch
there on Thursday is a sample of what
happened all week. Frank Munser of
Bakersfleld, Prof. R. B. Emery, Ed
ward Nelson, John Ward, S. J. Mc-
Kenzie, John Hebbard, Oscar Baer ami
two or three others took forty-eight
surf and thirty-four yellowfln on the
Incoming tide. The surf fish ranged
from one pound In weight to six and
a half pounds; the yellowfln from
three-quarters to two pounds. On Mon- !
day Prof. Emery, Mr. Munser and Mr. |
Hebbard took fifty-eight yellowfln at
sundown, ranging In size from one to
four pounds. Smaller fish were thrown
back Into the ocean.
From the new concrete pier at Santa
Monica other big catches of corblna
were made and more than 150 fish,
sizing from a pound up, were taken
during the week.
It must be remembered that until
this season Greek, Italian and Japan
ese market fishermen, with seines from
300 to 1500 feet long, had made the coast
from Long Wharf to Redondo Beach
their pet fishing ground, and as a con
sequence when the real sportsman went
fishing he found the beaches along this
coast cleaned of these gamy fellows
that make life worth living for the real
angler.
Fishing from Balboa to Long Beach
was "*bove par all last week with tho
exception of off hours when tide and
other conditions interfered. Croaker,
bass, trout and corblna, with an occa
sional halibut of size, were caught in
the bay, and surf and yellowfln were
caught from the sea wharf at Balboa.
Huntington, Sunset Beach and Bay
City were all popular resorts during
the week, and Long Beach showed
reaprd catches of small fry. Redondo
Beach, Clifton, Ocean Park and Venice
showed great runs of pompano, her
ring, sea trout, small yellowfln and
surf. Playa del Rey was also a most
popular resort during the week.
Tide will be high Sunday at 9:55 a.
m., with a rise of 4.3 feet, and low at
2:34 p. m., with a drop to 2 feet. It
will-be high again at 8:54 p. m., with
a rise of 7.1 feet. This will make a
fair current In the morning and a
heavy current in the afternoon and will
require big sinkers. . Fishing should be
best in the afternoon and the early
morning hours.

SPRINTER WALKER IS
OUT AFTER RECORD
South African Anxious to Go 100 Yards
In Nine Seconds Flat—Has
Easy Position
NEW YORK, July 30.—1f Reginald
Walker, the South African sprinter,
does not achieve his ambition of run
ning 100 yacds ln nine seconds flat,
along with grabbing oft all kinds of
championship titles, lt will not be be
cause business Interferes. Walker ls
In the employ of a mining millionaire
who owns vast interests all over South
Africa. Said millionaire was an ath
lete himself before he made his money,
and naturally Is quite a bit interested
In Walker's great doings on the cinder
path.
Last summer when the young colo
• nlst .went to England to compete ln
the Olympiad his expenses were de
frayed, It was said, "by public sub
scription." More than likely the mining
millionaire footed the bill. At any rate,
Walker failed to win one of the prin
cipal races he went after In his 1908
English championship— 100-yard
British championship. Bobbie Keer of
Canada outran him in ten seconds flat.
.This stuck in Walker's crop. He
wanted the British title almost as much ■
as the Olympic honor, and so he told
his boss. Then the story goes that the
millionaire generously granted Reg a
two years' vacation with full pay to
boot. Even when on full time Walker
has a pretty easy job. He comes down
late, and goes home early, thereby
having ample time to do his training.
Walker's salary is such that he is able
to live In good style, and have every
thing that a first class atlete In train
ing should have.
The authority for the above state
ment is a person who has only recently
come from South Africa, and one who
Is well acquainted with Walker's. em

Fourteen Bantles from Thirteen Eggs
EUNICE, Ind., July 30.—How four
teen chickens came from a setting of
thirteen eggs Is puzzling the firemen of
No. 1 station. The firemen have a
menagerie, which includes two mon
keys and other creatures, and recently a
farmer contributed a bantam rooster
and hen.
The hen began setting on thirteen
eggs. ' In due time the chicks began to
peck through the shells, and when all
were counted -it was found that there
was one more than the thirteen.
Only the poorly established theory
of twins from a double-yoke egg will
account for the extra chick.

FIGHT TO CAPPELE
Young Pico Takes Fifteen Rounds of
Punishment Gamely, but Sue.
cumbs at Last to Stronger
Opponent
[Special to The Herald.l
SAN PEDRO, July Billy Cap
pele received a decision this evening
over Young Pico in a hard fought con
test of fifteen rounds, In which both the
San Pedro boys fought every Inch of
the way. Evenly matched, both did
clever work, Cappele leading ln most
rounds, using left to face to advantage
and often following with right to jaw.
Pico forced Cappele back most of
the time and ln the clinches used his
right to body. This was the program
through most of the rounds, Pico hav
ing a few rounds to his credit, Both
boys were fast. Pico got in his right
upper cut in the third round.
In the fourth Cappele repeated his
right and left to face twice. Pico cap
tured the fifth round with left to face,
right to jaw and right Jab to body.
In the tenth round Cappele put up
clever work, with repeated rights and
lefts to face, Pico using light rights to
body. Both contestants landed heavy
rights to face in the eleventh, while
Cappele took all of the twelfth with
his usual blows.
■ Pico showed weakness In the thir
teenth and fourteenth, his body blows
being delivered without much force.
Cappele landed a, frightful left to Jaw
at the end of the fourteenth.
Pico opened the fifteenth lap with
left to jaw, Cappele sent a left to
body, left to jaw and right to face.
Pico countered with a light right to
body. Cappele swung left and right to
face, and, while Pico took his beating
without flinching, his blows on Cap
pele's body did little apparent damage.
Tho decision of Referee Jack Franks
was approved by the crowd.
In the preliminaries Kid Arce of Wil
mington was scheduled for six rounds
with Joe Livermore of Los Angeles. At
the beginning of the second round he
rushed Livermore to the ropes and
then deliberately pushed him through.
Livermore fell from tho platform to the
floor on his head and shoulders, seri
ously Injuring himself. Referee Martin
Benson called it an accident, with no
decision, but the crowd called it a foul.
Area was hissed, the sympathy being
with the Injured man. -
Henry Carrese of San Pedro handed
a knockout to Bob Walker of Chicago
in thirty seconds. Big Henry delivered
six blows and a shove. The blows par
alyzed his opponent and the shove put
him out. .The crowd went wild at this

HIGH BRED RACING
STOCK MAY RETURN
Success of Yearling Sales at Sheeps.
-1 head Bay Track Encourages
Owners
NEW TORK, July 30.—Success of the
yearling sales at Sheepshead Bay and
the dally lncreaselng atendance at the
race tracks give promise of the return
to this country, either this fall or win
ter, of much of the highly bred thor
oughbred stock exported when racing
days looked dark. Already a famine
of well bred 2-year-olds is in sight for
the racing In 1911, 1912 and 1913. Not
only will the output from the breeding
farms be less than either this year or
last or the year before, but the pur
chases recently have been largely for
Canadian —practically for ex
portation.
Probably flrst to come back from Eu
rope will be John E. Maddens Plaudit,
sire of King James, Plaudlmore and
other good stake winners, and it is pos
sible that Ethelbert, owned by Perry
Eelmont, too, will return to America
after this season. The latter's fame
has been Illuminated this racing sea
son by the fine performances of Fltz
Herbert, the star 3-year-old colt, and
by the showing of Dalmatian, one of
the gamest of the 2-year-old division
and a liberal stake winner.
Both these' successful and valuable
sires are in France, at farms leased by
their respective owners, and as each
was sent abroad with good brood mares
some of their progeny should be suc
cessful within the next few years on
the French turf or on the English
tracks. But there the competition is at
the keenest as compared to what .would
be faced In this country, so as a purely
business.proposition it would seem good
policy to reimport them at once.
Two striking examples of what
money-winning thoroughbreds are
worth was shown in the active bidding
for the product of the Millstream and
Castleton studs.< The Keene-bred year
lings sold for an average price In ex
cess of $1000 for twenty-five head,
while the Millstream output placed be
fore the public was not far behind with
an average of $874.
Statistics of the racing of 2-year-olds
this year show that up to July 1 there
had been run 506 races for the young
sters. The'total stake money distrib
uted In these events has been in ex
cess of 5250,000, for the winners' shares
amount to more than $190,000. The
year's figures are due to the cutting
down of the rich 2-year-old races in
the east like the Double Event, Great
Trial and other historic stake events.
Among the sires that have sent 2
year-old winners to the races this year
Ceraslon heads the list, with fifteen
winners of thirty-three races and $19,
--955; Ben Brush ls second, with two
winners and $13,198; Cunard third, with
ten winners of twenty-four races and
$10,140. Those three are the only sires
whose 2-year-olds yet have won as
much as $10,000, but from the number
of 2-year-old winners Star Shoot is
second on the list, with eleven winners
of nineteen races; but bo far his get
has failed to reach the $10,000 mark,
the eleven winners only having to their
credit $8200. Of the 2-year-olds James
R. Keene's Sweep is the biggest indi
vidual money winner, this son of Ben
Brush having to his credit $12,930.
Flying Squirrel is the second largest
Individual 2-year-old money winner, he
having to his credit the first six months
of the year the sum of $7205.

Merchant Seeks to Recover Damages
Caused by Alleged Boycott by
Members of United
Irish League
DUBLIN, July 30.—The General as
sembly of the Presbyterian church In
Ireland, which has been sitting in Bel
fast for ten days, has concluded Its |
deliberations. A debate took place on
a report submitted in regard to the
Irish Universities bill.
Professor Heron said the least they
could do was to protest against the
extraordinary steps taken, not only ml
the denominational change, but the
steps taken by the commissioners of
the Queen's university, Belfast, ln
establishing a chair of lectureship in
scholastic philosophy. This was ap
parently being done to meet a special
demand from the Roman Catholics,
who sent a special deputation to the
commissioners.
Prof. Tod Martin said it was said,
and he did not know whether it was 1
true or not, that pressure had been
brought. to bear on Mr. Blrrell—politi
cal pressure— that ln consequence
of this he made six appointment!.,
adding four Roman Catholics as such
and two Methodists as such to the.
senate. They had the principle of de
nominational representation, and in.
that there was unfairness toward de
nominations that were not so repre
sented, and there was also Imported to
the Belfast university at the very out
set a denominational complexion
which he felt could never be changed.
They had no desire to see in the north
of Ireland a reconstructed Royal uni
versity. , _ '■'
The Rev. J. D. Osborne said the gov
ernment had given to the north and
south of Ireland two universities which
would he ruled on autonomous and
democratic lines, and it was impossible
to avoid putting persons on their gov
erning bodies without having some re
gard to their religious convictions so as
to give due representation to the dif
ferent sections of the population. He
thought the four Roman Catholics and
two Methodists had every right to be
appointed, particularly when it was re

In the Nisi Prlus court, before Mr.
Justice Wright and a county special
jury, this week the hearing took place
In an action ln which Edward Dolan,
who carried on business at Moate,
county Westmeath, as publican, grocer,
flour and meal and hardware merchant
and auctioneer, seeks to recover dam
ages for alleged conspiracy to boycott
and Injure him in his business against
the following defendants, who are
farmers or shopkeepers residing in or
near Moate: Thomas Birmingham,
Michael Oaynor, John Duffy, John
Gaynor, Eugene Robbins, Richard
Muldoon, Andrew Donohoe, John Far
rell and Peter Malone.
Alleges Boycott
The plaintiff, in his statement of
claim, set out that the defendants were
all members. of the Mount Temple
branch of the United Irish league, the
chairman of which was the defendant
Robbins, and that at a meeting on
December 1, at which all were present,
they 'unanimously adopted a resolution
to boycott him ln his shop and hotel
In Moate. From that day, the plaintiff
said, he had been boycotted by the de
fendants, who also Induced others to
refrain from dealing or having any
business transactions with him in any
of his concerns, and by reason of that
'conspiracy his business and profits
had been greatly interfered with and
diminished.
The plaintiff further set out that on
April 12, 1908, at a meeting of the said
branch of the league, at which the- de
fendants were present, it was arranged
to withdraw the boycott against him if
Thomas Dolin, his brother, surrendered
a certain farm at Clonrellick which he
held, but that on his refusal to do so
the boycott was continued.
He claimed an Injunction against the
defendants and also damages. '
The defendants, in their defense,
traversed the plaintiff's statement of
claim generally, denied that they were
members of the Mount Temple branch of
the United Irish league, or .that the
defendant Robbins was chairman of it,
or that the branch hud proclaimed any
boycott against the plaintiff. They also
denied any complicity in any company
to Injure the plaintiff in his business <,r
In any way, and traversed his claim
that he had been so Injured. They also
denied any complicity in the proffered
arrangement to withdraw the boycott if
the plaintiff's brother gave up a par
ticular farm.
Denis Henry, K. C; Mr. Powell, K.
C, and Mr. Denning appeared tor lh i
plaintiff. Mr. Campbell, K. C; Mr.
Healy, K. C, and Robert Foylo ap
peared for the defendants.
Damaging Testimony
Michael Carroll, a herder in the em
ploy of the plaintiff, said that he
was present at a meeting of the Mount
Temple branch of the league In No
vember, 1907, when a resolution was
passed to boycott Thomas and Ed- j
ward Dolan. The opinion was ex
pressed that there was no use In boy- I
cotting Thomas unless Edward, Who
had a shop, was also boycotted. That
resolution had reference to the Clon
rellick farm. Cattle-driving was also
mentioned, and the cattle were after
ward driven off the lands. The wit
ness went on to give evidence of a
second meeting on December 1, 1907, at
which all the defendants were again
present, with Eugene Robbins In the
chair. There were resolutions passed
to boycott the Messrs. Dolan at that
meeting also. The sort of boycott !
that was to be directed against the |
Dolans was to be a "black" boycott.
Peter Malone, secretary of the Mount j
Bellow branch of the United Irish
league, in answer to Mr. Henry ad
' mitted as being in his writing a let
ter dated December 26, 1907, addressed
to one P. Buckley. The letter was as
follows: j
"I am directed by the committee and I
members of tho above branch of the j
United Irish league to ask you to with
draw and not do any work for the
following men, as they are condemned
by our committee: Messrs, Thomas
Dolan and brother, Thomas McDer
mott, Patrick Brown and Michael Car
roll. Hoping you will comply with the
request, I remain yours respectfully,"
etc.
Edward Dolan, the plaintiff, was ex
amined, and described how his business
had been affected by the boycott. He j
was cross-examined by Mr. Campbell
as to the possession of Clonrellick
farm. Mr. Campbell said ho alleged
a most serious underhand proceeding
with reference to this farm on the part
of the plaintiff and his brother with!
the object of throwing dust in the eyes
of the estates commissioners and of ;
getting the farm for Thomas Dolan.
To Witness—Did your brother get a !
number of persons, nine in all, Includ
ing yourself, to send in their names to |
the estates commissioners asking for I
advances to purchase small portions of
the Clonrellick farm?
A.-rl did not do it.
q.—Was it done with your knowl
edge?
A.—Yes.

BASEBALL TEAM EROKEN
UP BY CUPID'S INROADS
Manager Find* His Best Men Un
nerved in Three Different Towns \
by Smiling Girls
ELIZABETH. N. J.. July 30.—Cupid,
that rascal of such varied pranks, has
amused himself now by putting out of
business the local team 'of the Atlantic
baseball league.
On the Elizabeth nine were three
bachelors—Henry Gastmeyer, Clarence
Wolf and Daniel Burke. When the sea
son started ln April and for a month
all three played fine ball and the Eliza
beth team led the league.
Then the team's wise manager, Jacob
Reuter, noticed that when , the Eliza
beths played ln Allentown, Pa., Wolf,
who had been catching most anything
In center field, muffed as if the sun or;
some other brilliant object was blind- j
ing him.
In Shamokln, Pa., Burke- never had i
his eye on the ball, but always on a
mighty pretty girl who smiled on him
from a reserved chair.
And ln Sunbury, also Pa., Heinle
Gastmeyer, who had been a terror at
bat, Invariably struck out, while a
charming young woman who wore the
Sunbury nine's colors loudly applauded
him.
Reuter angrily questioned the three
players, and, all the Elizabeth fans say.
Gastmeyer confessed that he was doing
his best to catch and hold for his very
own the Sunbury girl, and that any
other game had ceased to interest him.
Burke acknowledged to Reuter that he
longed only to make home runs for life
to his sweetheart In Shamokln, and I
Wolf declared the Allentown damsel
had the Indian sign on him.
The Elizabeth team lost game after |
game, slid down to last place In the
Atlantic league, and then began to lose
money, of course. The fans there Insist I
that Reuter went to the three charmers i
and begged them not to hoodoo his
players. To which they replied indig
nantly: „ , ...
"If he dares to play well In Allen
town, Sunbury and Shamokln I'll never
speak to hlmr again."
The three players resigned. The Eliz
abeth club has disbanded. Now the
fans say Gastmeyer has been engaged
by Sunbury, Wolf by Allentown and
Burke by Shamokln.

MAN IN DORY ATTACKED
BY MONSTER SWORDFISH
Saves His Life from Deep Sea Deni
zen by Smashing Him with
Big Gaff
BOSTON, July 30.—Attacked by a
swordflsh which time and again
sought to sink the dory he was ln,
Andrew Ives, a member of the crew of
the schooner Nokomls, which arrived at
T wharf this morning, saved his life
on Georges Bank July 6 by striking the
monster fish in a vital spot with the
gaff which belonged to the sail of the
dory. * . .
The Nokomls. which at present Is en
gaged In swordflshlng, boasts of one of
the most skillful harpoonlsts In the fleet
in the person of Capt. Stanley, and it
was he who had previously sunk a shaft
into the flsh. A dory was then put
over, manned by Ivor, to bring the fish
to the schooner. The monster appeared
to be dead, but quickly recovered, and
when. Ives tried to take him Into cap
tivity he promptly turned upon the
fisherman.
He dashed at the dory and drove his
sword into lt with a viclousness that
caused the frail craft to nearly capsize.
It would then swim off a short distance
and repeat the attack, Ives each time
dodging the big sword of the fish as it
came over the gunwale of the boat.
Finally Ives grabbed the gaff and
struck the flsh fair. That was tho end.
Ives took the dead one in tow and
landed it at the schooner's side.

OREGON CAVES ARE MADE
NATIONAL MONUMENT
•
WONDERFUL CAVERNS STILL
ARE UNEXPLORED FULLY
i
President Signs Proclamation Insuring
Nature's Great Handiwork Being
Unmolested by Tourists and
Vandals
WASHINGTON, July 30.—The presi
dent has Just signed a proclamation
making a national monument of tho
Oregon caves, or "Marble Hall" of Jo
sephine county, in Southern Oregon.
These natural wonders are located In
the Siskiyou national forest, about
thirty miles south of Grant's pass In
Cave mountain,
The caves are In marble and other
limestones and consist of Innumerable
caverns, corridors and passageways of
various sizes, all of them decorated '»■
--yond description in crystallized carbon
ates. They have been explored to a
distance of two miles or more, the low
est of them being at a depth of about
2000 feet below the summit of Cave
mountain, the highest being some 700
or 800 feet above it. There are many
passageways and rooms which have
never been opened, and with these dis
tant and unexplored openings the mag
nitude of the Oregon caves is practical
ly unknown.
Discovered in 1874
These, natural wonders were discov
ered in 1874 by Elija Davidson, while
hear hunting, and the greater part of
the exploration work was done by F.
M. Nickerson of Kerby, Ore., in 1877,
when four floors or levels were par
tially opened. Many of the old ladders
used at that time are still in use.
Cave mountain, the peak which con
tains these caves, rises to an elevation
of about 6000 feet, and ls of limestone
formation, The main openings around
which the national monument has been
created are at an elevation of 4000 feet,
but the entire mountain side for five
or six miles shows caverns of various
slzen, and in all probability ls honey
! combed throughout Its Interior like the
portion wheih has been explored.
Many small streams are found at
different elevations, and larger bodies
of running water can be heard In bot
tomless pits so far as measured. This
running water probably accounts for
currents of wind that in some of the
galleries blow so hard as to extinguish
an open light at once.
Varied and Beautiful
The lime deposits take many beauti
ful forms; massive pillars, delicate
stalactites of alabaster whiteness with
the crystal drop of water carrying its
minute deposit of lime from which they
are formed, and broad sheets resem
bling drapery with graceful curves and
waves that were certainly made by
varying currents of wind during forma
tion. - ,' „
In past years visitors have broken oft
and carried away many of the most
valuable specimens, and this destruc
tion, as well as to retain these natural
wonders as public property, induced
the recommendation to place them In a
i rational monument.
The forest service has rebuilt and Im
i proved the trails leading to the caves
i from each side of the divide ln order to
more easily protect the valuable forest
surroundings, and to make the caves
I more accessible to tourists.

undesirable aliens is strikingly illus
trated by an official report Issued this

The authorities were animated by
various motives in carrying out these
expulsions. Numerous foreign work
men are expelled for no other reason
than that they were guilty of breaches
of contracts Into which they had en

Thoso fdteign workmen who failed to
fulfill the conditions of r their agree
ments with German employers of labor
were ordered by the police to leave
the country and were kept under Strict
police supervision until they had been
ejected beyond the frontiers.
Other foreign workmen were expelled
because they conducted themselves in
a disorderly way, thereby becomes
public nuisances. Others, again, w^re
ordered to leave the country because
they perpetrated different often
which brought them into collision w I i
tho German law.
The majority of the workmen thus
expelled were men of Polish nation
