SUNDAYS BALL GAME.
stockton Defeats Los Angeles by
a score OF 8 2.

The third and last OF the series OF games
between the Los Angeles and Stockton
teams was played at the Sixth street
grounds Sunday afternoon, and was won
by tho visitors by score of eight to two.
This was the only game OF the series of
three which the home team has failed to
win, and their bad fortune Of Sunday is at
tributab,e, in a large degree, to the lame
ness OF number OF their players. Ie-
Pangher's hands, afler the unmereiful
pounding walbridge gave them on Thurs
day, were in a condition altogether unfit for
effective work. Notwithstanding the heavy
gloves worn by Mike, every ball stopped by
his bruise Z and swollen hands was a tor
ture that made him squirm. For this rea.
son Raymond did not put that amount of
Influence" on the ball which is his wont,
and the result was that the heavy visitors
batted him hard. This may be ac-
cepted as The true. inwardness of the
matter and the chief cause of the home
clubs defeat. Their fielding. base running
and handling of the ball in every way.
was equally as free. from errors as was the
work OF the Stocktons in these respects
Their one weak point was the visitors
mond has never been and will probably
never again be batted as hard again as he
was at Sundays game. The game was
highly exciting from the first to the very
last inning, SO much so that the umpire was
almost continuously involved in some dis
puta with the players, who sought to intlu
ence the decisions. ut would pay Manager
DeGarmo well to obtain the services OF a
man to act as umpire OF his games" who is
sufficiently brutal looking to inspire the
players with fear SO that they would closely
follow the rules of the game. A red headed
man with bull dog face and his tusks al
ways in sight would be about the proper
thing and would doubtless strike terror to
the heart of the boldest intimidator
Let Mr.. De Garmo make the change 'above
advocated" before he again pits his team
against visiting nine.
1t will be remembered that the game of
Thursday resulted in victory for Los An
geles, 1t being the second scored by them
in this series, and the one which deter
mined the result in the race for second
place in the State League penant. Our
boys have earned by excellent work and
splendid management the second place and
are certainly entitled to the honor. When
Il fe W In provements have been made in the
team (which, by the way, are now being
contemplated), they will be the finest not
only in California but on the Pacific Coast.
1t is impossible to give detail of the
play of Sunday. 1t is unfortunate that
other papers which were so numer-
ously represented on the grounds did
not get detail and publish it.
Appended is the score by innings:

will ID. Gould lets Him self Loose
on the Liquor Traffic.

A large concourse OF people mustered last
evening1rear the Courthouse, to listen to
the advocates of cold water and sobriety.
Mr.. James H. Blanchard announced the
speakers, the first of whom was J. W. Potts,
who said he had never made speech before,
but had joined this party and was proud of
1t, as new engine was wanted to take hold
OF the car of American progress and move
it along, which the old parties could do no
longer.
Mrs. NJ. G. Tongier said they came not to
quarrel with other party adherents, but to
argue with them to stamp out the drink
traffic, which they shall do. even If 1t should
take 100 years. 1--WE all agree that the
traffic is bad and that is settled, so that its
removal is a natural sequence If Americans
drink corrupts our young men, creates
pauperism and crime, and does no good
whatever, and this party of ours will de-
stroy it and give everyone engaged in 1t q
Mrs. Tongier is a very graceful and pleas
ing speaker, and Eer remarks were kindly
received.
Rev. A. NJ. Hough was next called, but in
his absence Will d. Gould made an elo-
quent appeal to his audience to assist in the
stoppage of the importation of intoxicants.
and of their manufacture. He1 would not
interfere with personal liberty, but would
allow people to sell and drink all they choose
thereafter.
He had lived here fifteen years and in
that time many of the leading men Of the
bar, two capable Judges and many business
men of talent and good impulses had been
ruined and destroyed by the demon OF
drink. Every method of arrest;ng this
criminal aud vice laden atfic had been
tried, but the affectual one OF prohibition.
and that would soon be carried also. "In
place of the wineries, dealing death and
destruction, we shall have preserved and
Eottled grape juice. canned fruit, jellies,
syrups and raisins; all these things will be
a blessing to the country, and give employ
ment to our boys and girls And in place
of 290lacre vineyards without home or
church or school, we shall have more com,
munities like Pasadena, with all the appl1-
ances and blessings of the highest civiliza.
ton. When the liquor traffic is done away
with and men are sober, we can have gov
ernment control of the railroads, tele-
graphs, etc., and have our transportation at
cost. A short time ago people wanted to g.
to war, because one American was in jail
In Mexico--but here in Los Angeles the sa-
looms keep 100 men in Jail all the time and
send two to the penitentiary and two to the
lunatic asylum every week. Why don't we
make war on these?"
Mr.. Goulds speech was appreciated by
his audience, which was mostly composed
of people of his party and the iiotsam and
jetsam who are willing to take in speeches
of whatever complexion and whatever
party so long as they are free.

veyOr on Dangers that May Be...
Yesterday. during the discussion in the
Council concerning the advisability of i'm
mediate action in the matter of building a
levee from Mission street to Macy street on
the west side of the river, for which an
appropriation is asked from the city, equal
to half the amount of the total cost, City
Surveyor Eaton was requested to state his
views on the subject. Mr.. Eaton stated that
the building of such levee was all-import-
ant, because the place where its erection
was contemplated was the weakest on the
whole front. If such a food as was ex-
perienced last year were to recur and last
three hours longer than on that occasion
the river would run down the railroad
track into its former bed and finally empty
into the Ballona slough. causing upon its
passage incalculable damage. AS the itin-
erary of the river was being mentioned, Pres
ident Sinsabaugh pricked up his ears and
became nightly interested He asked divers
questions regarding the different levels
how much lower they were than the place
where the break would occur, in case of a
flood. Mr.. Eaton mentioned different
depths one being as much as thirty teet.
Finally Mr.. Sinsabaugh said, in dulcet
voice and with an assumption OF Innocence
hard to believe in SO reverend a gentleman.
"And how much lower is my place, Mr..
Eaton?"
The City Surveyor said drily. "ohl about
six feet, Mr.. President, but as you are about
that size, there is no fear OF your drowning
this winter"
The question and the reply put the Coun-
Gil in good humor and the laugh was en-
joyed by all.
