Pasadena Polo club.
The announcement that the young
heavyweight, who learned to play polo
In Canada, would participate jn a gamo
at Pusadena, on tho Invitation, of, several
club members, brought forth a protest
from Frank C. Hogan, president of the
club. Ho said that it required tho sanc

McCarty said ho hnd been led to be

nouncement of the president surprised
him and he eald he had. no desire to par

BUCKLES IN FIGHTING FORM
The old Rod and Gun club will be known
aa Carter Lake club, tho dues will be
raised from $15 to $18 per annum, and
tho Initiation fees will be S30 Instead of
$M for associate membors after June 1C
next'. The latter two provisions will be
subject to tho approval of the new board
of directors clcctod at tho meeting held
at tho Poxton hotel last night.
Tho annual meeting of the stock hold
ing members considered matters In con
nection with the cottage lot .plan that
was the result of the purchase of the
Courtlond Beach property last faU.
Nino directors were elected as follows:
F. L. Weaver, A. P. Whltmore and C. I
Dundey for a three-year term; W. 8.
King, B, W. Hart und Thomas E. Wood
for, a two-year term: D. L. Christie, Carl
M. Johnson and Al Bloom for tho ono
yar term.
Of the 2K cottage lots plotted on the
newly acquired ground udjolntng the lako.
lDrt have boen sold. Tho purchase of ono
of Jhero lots makes ono a llfo member
exompt from dues. When the matter of
changing tho name of tho club came up
there, was a great deal of nrgumont and
amending of motions. It was argued that
tho namo "Rod and Gun" suggested a
limitation of tho activities of tho club
to shooting and fishing, whllo In reality
tho activities of tho club wcro much
broader than that. Dozens of names
wcro suggested until It was finally de
cided to cling to the namo Carter In
honor of the ono who by generous
donations had. made posslblo the summer
outing place at the beach.

Southern Pacific Head
Silent About the Eoad
"I have too much respect ror the su
preme court of he United States to cxitl
clso .any of Us actions," sold President
William Sproule of the Southern Paclfla
railroad at tho Union stutlou last night,
an his way to New York, on being asked
whether he had anything to nay regard
ing the recent decision of the supreme
court dissolving the merger of the Union
Paclflo and tho Southern Pacific. Presi
dent Spruulo was not talkative. Asked If
he was going east to attend a conference
of the presidents of the llorriman lines,
he said: "I am going east io visit and to
meet my daughter, who ts there In school.
If there Is h conference of presidents I'll
attend, but I don't know -that thero Is to
be such a conference except us I see the
reports In tho papers."
Aa to what effect tlie decision of the
supreme court might have as a precedent
in other cases of the kind that might come
up, Mr. Sproulo, said;
"You are Just as competent to judge
of that as I am. 1 cannot speak for what
the courts will do from time to time."
Asked whether the dissolution ordered
by tho court would have any effect on
tho strike ot shopmen, he replied: "None
whatever. I can only say that I urn korry
for the men who struck. 1 think the
strike vkux very ill-advised.''
