JONES CALLS BLUFF OF HESTER

Fight—Milwaukee Dutchman Disgusted and Is in •
Favor of Calling Off All Further Negotiations
BY JAY DAVIDSON
SID HESTER, promoter of the mythical fight club somewhere
above the Tehachapi, responded yesterday to the ultimatum of
Tom Jones, manager for Ad Wolgast, with a sixty-five word
telegram, sent collect, in which he avoided the main issue and main
tained his procrastinating tactics as to the deposit of the club guar
antee of $2500 in cash that he will pull off the Nelson-Wolgast
championship scrap according to agreement These sixty-five words
were so unsatisfactory that Wolgast advised Jones to reply in effect
lhat negotiations are called off, but the more patient manager com
promised by writing to Hester, enclosing the articles of agreement,
properly signed, and giving the promoter one other chance to make
good. Forty-eight hours will tell the tale—whether Hester is four
flushing, as now seems to be the case, or whether he simply is a
gree?i country boy with no idea of business methods.

Win by 34 to 31 Score After Being
Easily Outplayed In First Half
of Exciting Match Game
The law school basketball team de
feated the fast Y. M. C. A. Thistles at
the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium Thursday
night by a score of 24 to 31. To say
i that the game'was fast would be ex-
I pressing it mildly, as the players were
on their toes during the entire con
test. With a score of 21 to 14 against
them, the lawyers played the Thistles
completely off their feet in the second
half. Their team work was wonderful
and it completely mystified the This
tles. There was no particular star for
the barristers, all the players claim
ing an equal share in the glory of the
victory. For the Thistles Crook was
the best man in the game. The lineup:

RIALTO GOSSIP
Jay Davidson
AVIATION seems to bo Interesting
a lot ol people along the Rialto,
as well as those who visit the
aerial exhibitions south of town, if
one is to Judge from the strange
scenes along tho primrose way every
afternoon. The aviation fever «as
more pronounced yesterday than at
any time nince the airships began 1"
fly. All one has tv do nowadays along
the Rlalto to collect a crowd of one
or two thousand persons is to stand
out In the street or on the curb with
another conspirator and point to tin 1
skies, look in the same direction and
shake the Sngers as if tracing tin;
(light i>r an airship. About 4000 per
j sons between— Bscond and Fourth
i streets on Spring yesterday afternoon
tell lor the old trick and gazed for
long periods of time at the skies in
an effort at.seeing an airship that was
not in sight. So Intently did they look
that all of them were able to distinct
ly see the evening; star directly (iver
| head at broad noon, despite the glare
jof brilliant sunshine. Tom Jones,
jack Kipper and Hen Berry had heaps
of fun trying to show the multitudes
the airship that was not there.
_ Tom Jones is to be highly comniend
e'd by fair-minded sportsmen for his
stand In the negotiations with Sid
I Hester for the Nelson-Wolgast fight.
I It begins to look like Hester was on
gaged only in the task of breaking up
the match, Instead of bring in earnest
in his efforts to get the match lor his
unnamed and unlocated club that may
never exist. Jones is looking after the
interests of Wolgast and is showing
rare business acumen In the manner
In which h© has conducted the nego
tiations.
Hen Berry and his three brothers,
Frank, Clarence and Fred, left last
night for Bakersfielcl to look over the
extensive oil interests there. Those oil
fields have made multimillionaires of
the Berrys and inasmuch as they al
ways have been high class sportsmen,
their good fortune is received with
much pleasure by their friends and
associates in the business and sport
ing world. Hen vffll be gone until Mon
day and may^o on to Frisco to see
how Danny Long is getting along be
fore he returns.
Contracts for 1911 will be mailed to
all Angel players today and as they
must report to Cap Dillon the last day
of February, it is expected that all con
tracts will bo signed and on filn in the
club offices within a • fortnight. For
tunately, there are no grievances or
salary questions to adjust this season.
Dillon begs to assure the fans that the
rag for next season will be captured
and brought back south without mifch
trouble.
Gray is of the opinion that major
league players should not engage In
winter baseball game", owing to the
unreasonable risk taken thereby. A
player who engages in winter base
ball takes the risk of being injured
and put out of tho game indefinitely,
accompanied by loss of salary and pos
sible reduction of his mothly stipend/
as the lase of Jack Bliss proves. Dolly
is in excellent condition for spring
practice and will be one of the main
stays of the Washington club next
season If given a chance to work often.
Mexican Pete Everett may be a man
killer in the ring, but it seems that he
is taking- an unusual risk of losing his
prestige in failing to train properly for
his scrap with Jim Cameron next
Tuesday night. Cameron is no bear in
the ring, but he is long enough and has
arms long enough to make a big fat
overgrown boy hustle to get to him, as
he proved when he twice stopped the

BUICK AGENT SATISFIED
RAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 13.—Charles
S. Howard, head of the Howard Au
tomobile company of San Francisco,
who are Pacific coast distributors of
Buicks and Oldsmobiles, has returned*
from Los Angeles with most encour
aging reports of conditions in the
south. "It is not a question of proph
esying what we believe will come to
puss when the busy season begins,"
said Howard, 'but it is already a. fact,
and our Los Angeles branch has been
kept hard at work to its fullest ca
pacity through the. entire winter sea
son, and our demonstrators are hardly
given a moment's rest. The recent
success of the Rulck '40' in the fifty
mile race at Ascot park, following
closely upon the heels of Winning Hint
(rilling race across the desert from
Loi Angelea to Phoenix, has materially
added to thii popularity of tho Buick
In those sections."
Arcadia village blacksmith. Before the

may be wishing that he had trained a
bit more Industriously.
Dolly Gray, the premier southpaw,

Americans last year, cane In YVc.inos-
I day night from Laguna Beach, where
several coast and major league play
ers are passing tho winter. Holly

Jimmy McAleer, the now manager of
the senatorial aggregation.
Danny Webster is one local fighter
who assuredly lias oarned all the
honors ho has attined in tho ring.
Nothing has boon presented to him.
He is training just as hard for his fight
with Curly O'Connel as he would train
if he wore matched with Monte Attoll |
or Jimmy Walsh. This industry is one ;
of the explanations of his rise to tho
top of the heap, and it will be a fur- !
ther explanation of Why he will stay
there for a long timo. Tf ho is not the t
undisputed champion of the world In
another year I am no good as a tight
prophet.
SSybfzcko, or letters to that effect,
Which moans the imported wrestler
when properly Interpreted, wants to
come to Los Angeles and wrestle Gotch
for the world championship. He says
ho does, anyway, and Johnny Herman,
his manager, corroborates the wish,
notch will be along this way in less
than two weeks and then this unpro
nouncable name may pet an oppor
tunity to be attached to articles of
agreement If it can show anything that
will make a noise like a financial flurry.
Freddie Welsh writes an Interesting
letter from London, in which ho tells
of a recent trip to Paris to attend the
Willie Lewis-Sid Russell fight. His let
ter in made more interesting by the
fact, that lie discusses tho fight, situ
ation in France and Kngland at length
and talks ahout other fighters than
himself, a modesty that the average
fighter never attains. He says, how
ever, that he is anxiously awaiting
some news from Hegewlsch and also
will welcome Mr. Patrick McFarland to
the hospitable shores of the tight little
Isle.
News that Frank Picato has been
matched with Fighting Dick Hylnnd
at New Orleans probably puts an end
to discussion of a match between him
and Powell. Anyway, George Momsic
is tho logical candidate for this match
and since he has shown that he has
come back into his old-timr. form the
f.ms prefer to see him tie up with the
Frisco crack. This match would be
a great drawing- card beyond all ques
tion.
Jimmy GrifflrH one. of the new fight
promoters of Frisco, is after Memsic
for a scrap January 2" with McCarthy
in the northern city. They exchanged
wires last night, discussing terms, and
probably will arrive at an understand
ing today.
Dispatches tell us that the American
league magnates have decreed that
spikes may be used by the players
next season. Spikes, they say, are es
sential to good playing and they can
find no substitute that would be satis
factory. Undoubtedly a lock with a
brick in it- or a machete would fill the
bill and do the work more humanely.
The O.tkwood stock ranch, which

Harry Comstock, both well known in
Los Angeles and Arcadia, cleaned up
handsomely yesterday at- Emeryville

AUTO MAKING ON PAR
WITH OTHER LINES
Fully 200,000 Cars Scheduled for 1910
and They Will Be Made in
Twenty.One Styles
Motor car making now is a national
Industry ami on a par with any other
iinL' of manufacturing in America.
This is best evidenced by tlio show
which opened ;it Qrand Central palace.
New York, New Year's eve, wlien 325
exhibitors showed products from
every nook and corner of tlie United
Stiiti-s. That the industry is national
is proved, too, by the statistics show-
Ing the millions of dollars ot
involved, the thousands of cars made
and sold and the thousands of em
ployes of motor car and motor car
parts factories.
Figures that aio conservative iv
every way made it appear certain
that 200,000 motor cars are scheduled
for 1910. They will bo made in twen
ty-one different states by 263 makers,
located as follows:
Michigan 49, Illinois 39. Indiana 30,
Ohio 30, New York 28, Pennsylvania
18, Massachusetts 14, Missouri 12, Con
necticut 10, lowa 7, Minnesota 6, Wis
consin 5, New Jersey 4,, California 4,
Kliode Island 3, Nebraska 2, Maryland
2, Colorado 1, Nevada 1, Texas 1, Kan
sas 1.
Many Legitimate Makers
Of this number it may be said that
100 are legitimate makers turning out
cars that are factors in the market.
Seventy-five others produce fewer than
seventy-five cars each and aro little
heard of, while the remainder may bo
considered beginners whose products
may not get beyond the experimental
state. New York, for example, al
though credited in the above official
list with twenty-three makers, has not
more than seven substantial motor car
factories.
Taking eighty of these leading mak
ers and compiling their estimates for
1910, coupled with the reports from
the parts makers and the inspection
made While visiting sixty-two prom
inent factories last spring, shows that
the 200,000 cars for next year will be
divided primarily among five states.
Michigan is king, for in 1910 it will
produce not fewer than 102,000 motor
cars. Illinois will turn out 15,300; In
diana, 21,025; Ohio. 22,750; Wisconsin,
31,000; New York, 10,400; Massa
chusetts,4loo; Pennsylvania, 3250; Con
necticut, 2100.
Millions Invested
When it is taken Into consideration
that the capital involved is between
$150,000,000 and $175,000,000, that thera
are 5200 agents for motor cars through
out the country maintaining garages
and salesrooms, the whole employing
more than 200,000 employes, no one
tan deny that the making of motor
cars is now one of America's most im
portant industries.
With the rapid growth of the indus
try there has been a general improve
ment in the good roads system
throughout the country and a general
Increase in business among hotels and
roadhousess and a geneval increase of
trade among the hundreds of concerns
that BUPplv parts, materials and acces
sories for the motor car and its fol
lowors.
