Close Finishes and Lively Betting at Ascot Park

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

LOb ANGELES. Dec 7.— With the prospect of a fast track and clear skies a large crowd passed through the turnstiles at Ascot this afternoon. A card of ordinary events, but interesting nevertheless, was the attraction and close finishes and lively batting were the order of the day. Pepper and Salt, a despised outsider, with as good as 50 to 1 laid against per chances, surprised the wise ones in the opening event by capturing the Jong end of the purse. Blue Bottle. *!!? . favorI te. was second and Prolinc third. The Pepper and Salt race was remarkable. Almost left at the post and ridden by a green jockey, -the Jilly ran over her field and in a driving finish showed her heels to the bunch. Kermmh was up on the winner, which had a good following for show honors among the small bettors. James A. Murray, favorite for the i second number on the card, simply gal- ' loped to win from a field of ten* good platers. Young Davis ran vecond and Creston Boy. which was almest left when the barrier raised, was third. Neatness, which was well supported in the ring, failed to come anywhere near i the money. Judge Denton made it three straight I wins for this season when lie came ' home first in the third event, beating ! Betsy in a driving finish. The Judge j had all he could 6o to win, for Betsy I ran a clever race and was only just i nosed out. Lotta Gladstone was third. !

Local Leah Kleschna Nabbed in Robbery

Woman Burglar Is Seized by Two Men in Room c

Like a scene in "Leah "Kleschna,", the drama made famous by Mrs.:Flske,\was the capture in this city early yesterday morning of a female burglar by Peter Bates and Charles Fingler. „

The men reside at. the Cable House at Twenty-eighth and Valencia streets and were awakened from sleep by ' the sound of footsteps in their apartment. Bates seized the intruder while Fingler, unlike the' hero in " the play," ■■who stopped to discuss philosophy with his midnight visitor, hastily summoned the police. The woman, who gave the/name of Rose Cary, was arrested and locked up in the city prison. She and an associate, Louis Bray, had rooms in- the Cable House. Bray also was arrested. The woman had gathered $50 in coin and- a watch when her operations were stopped. . < .

WILL POST ROADS WITH SIGNALS FOR AUTOS

R. R. l'Hommedleu

The plan; of putting direction' and danger signs along the roads of the State for the guidance of autoists is progressing favorably. W. S. Weaver, manager for Studebaker Bros., who some weeks ago stated "that the company would post the roads of the State, has returned from the East, where he "was in conference with the home office. Among the many propositions considered was- the erecting- of /these signs. It is now proposed Ao first post the roads between Sari Francisco and Los Angeles and then to take up the other leading highways of the State. . Weaver said yesterday: "I am glad to get back to San Francisco. The East is ail right, but I want. to be ir California during the winter. There is no place that offers the attractions in the winter time that California does.- Realizing this to be the case I had a lengthy conference, while away, with the people East concerning the erecting of the signposts through the State. '". I made arrangements for these - signs; They will,' be constructed in this city and will be in conformity with those used through the East. This will give a familiar sign to those who come from the other side of the Rockies. As there are no signs erected in the State, outside of cohort distance from Los Angeles, they will not be confusing^ "By the time the roads are open in the spring* we will , have" them placed between this city and Los Angfeles. We have agents who have control of every road in the and we are going to have, these agents see that the signs are kept- in place. '■'.•"-', • "We arc going to issue monthly bulletins of the conditions of the roads. In this way we hope to help the automobile game along. "What I would like to have is suggestions from the automobilists concerning this work. We. want this prop^ osition to be as -near perfect as* money can. make, it and it is better to. make corrections before we start ;. than..- to have;, "to- do -It -after.' the * work' it completed.- The first ofthe, year --'will see" the first of these signposts." '■• '.

The Mobile,. Carriage Company has received offers 'from various' PierceArrow car agencies throughout the country of from $250 to $500 premiums on all Pierce-Arrow cars they would be willing to dispose of. The same scarcity of Pierce-Arrow cars prevails on the Pacific Coast in that all cars in the allotment to company, especially for San Francisco, have been sold up to a late spring delivery.

A specially built sixty-horsepower Thomas Flyer has been ordered by the Pioneer Automobile Company for George Wingfield of Goldfield. The car will carry seven passengers and will be built to meet the conditions of the roads of the Nevada mining district.

The new Columbia runabout has arrived at the salesrooms of the Middleton Motor Car Company. It is strikingly painted in a light maroon. : A novelty, in this car is that there is a "tiger" seat where the chauffeur can ride when the owner wishes to take along a friend. It is a folding seat and can be closed when not needed. The car is exceptionally powerful and splenaldly adapted to city use.

E. P. Brinegar, president and manager ot the Pioneer Automobile Company, will leave today for the East, where he will visit the Thomas, Winton and Olds factories. He will make a trip of several weeks. V.

The largest display of cars in the late automobile show in New York was made by the manufacturers of the Maxwell. There were Maxwell: light touring cars, runabouts, speedsters, "Doctor Maxwells." and two chasses. The new four-cylinder touring car attracted general interest. . ■ .V
