SUMMARY.
Two base hits: Lohman and Fogarty.
Three bas hifs: Denny.
Umpire: Holiday.
ToDAY's GAME.
The game today promises to be an
other hotly contested one. Darby will
be in the box for the Los Angeles and
Reilly for the CALIFORNIA;. The game
deserves good patronage, for the boys
are playing giltedged ball.
Lohmann started in to catch in the
morning game, and seemed to be in his
old-tim form, but in making a quick
throw to second he strained his arm so
as to necessitate his retirement from
the game.
Leland will probably be given trial
behind the bat. DUNCAN belongs in the
out field. If he had been out in left
field yesterday, McDonsld's fly in the
eleventh inning would have been taken
care of.

Hard Battie-Another
Game Today.

Before come 200 people the new Los
Angeles club suffered defeat by the Cal
ifornias, at the new Athletic grounds
yesterday morning. The playing OF
morning games is something new in
Los Angeles, which partially accounts
for the small attendance. The game
was beauty and thoroughly enjoyed
by the spectators.
Only seven innings were played, the
visitors winning by score Of 8 to I.
The score by innings was:
12 8 8 Ct
Los ngeles ............ o 0-l
A large crowd witnessed the afternoon
game. and better game was probably
never played in Los Angeles. For
eleven innings the teams batted as
though they were playing for pennant
honors in some big league. At 2:40
Umpire Holiday called play, and the
exciting struggle commenced with Col
die at the bat. He opened up with
nice single, but his fellow-players were
unable to get him over the plate.
The visitors failed to score in their
half, but Los Angeles broke the ice in
the second. Hulen took first on balls,
second on sacrifice, and finally reached
the plate on wild pitch. The score
was tied in the third. Sweeney hit past
third for single, stole second and
came in on Decker's excusable error. The
CALIFORNIA; took a big lead in the fifth.
Pitcher O'Neil was responsible for
Stanley and Sweeney reaching first.
Brown sacrificed, while Jerry Denny,
the king of third basemen, hit for three
bases, scoring on Fogarty's error of Nc
Donald's hard hit. Los Angeles got an
unearned run in the sixth, and tied
the score in the seventh. amidst great
enthusiasm. Fogarty led off with
two-base hit. Goldie follow
ed with a hit and both men scored
on Goodenough's safe shot. Neither
side could score until the last half of the
eleventh. With two out Brown got in
eingle. O'Neill presented Denny with
first, thinking he could strike Mcdonald
out. Mac, however, hit to left, scoring
Brown with the winning run. The
game abounded in brilliant plays, Fo-
garty making two sensational running
catches. Hassemar did his work around
short nicely, in fact both teams felded
splendidly. The two clubs are very
evenly matched; good series may be
looked for. Following is the score:

THE SUPREME COURT.
SEVERAL DECISIONS WHICH WE'RE
RECEIVED YESTERDAY.
Clendennin Must Stay in San Quentin.
Perre versus Beaumont Reversed-Sta-
Piles Denied New Trial.

The supreme court has affirmed the
Judgment of the superior court of San
Diego county, in the case of The People
VS.. W. S. Clendennin, who was convict
ed of an assault with intent to commit
murder, on Judge Pierce. The defend
ant carried the case up because of the
refusal of the court to give certain in
structions to the jury with regard to his
alleged insanity.
The decision says: Assuming for
the purpose of this decision-although
we really have no warrant for SO doing
that there was evidence tending to show
the existence of an irresistible impulse
before the commission of the criminal
act, it is evident that such circumstance
was entirely immaterial unless the jury
found that the defendant was conscious
at the time of the commission of the
act"
Clendennin shot Judge Pierce in the
back on the street, because the latter
had made decision which he did not
approve Of The defense set up the the
ory of insanity, but Clendennin was con-
victed and sent to San Quentin for a
long term of years. The case created a
good deal of excitement at the time.
In the case of Perre (appellant) VS..
Beaumont (respondent) the Judgment of
the lower court is reversed by the gu
preme tribunal of the state. The action
was based on an order of reference made
by the surveyor-general of the state re-
ferring to the superior court of Kern
county contest concerning the right to
purchase certain swamp and overhowed
land.
In the case of the People VS.. M. N.
Staples, the judgment and order of the
lower court denying new trial are
affirmed. The defendant was convicted
in the superior court of this county of
grand larceny and appeals because OF an
alleged error of the lower court in over
ruling his motion to set aside the infor-
nation. One ground of the motion was
that the magistrate before whom his ex-
animation took place issued his warrant
of arrest without having taken any
dispositions of witnesses in support of
the charge laid in the complaint, thus
violating, as he claims, sections 811, 8l2,
and 813 of the penal code. The supreme
court holds that the complaint in this
case was positive and direct in its alle-
CATION OF every fact necessary to support
the charge laid, and is therefore in itself
a sufficient deposition.

A SEA LIONS TRIP.
He Leaves Westlake Park for Santa
Monica.

Monica.
James Grant, carpenter who lives on
Pico Heights, was awakened yesterday
morning, at about O'Clock, by the
barking of his dog. So excited was the
animal that Mr.. Grant got up, dressed
himself and went out. A short distance
from his front door he found the dog
facing long, and peculiar monster,
which every few minutes would give an
unearthly cry. Mr.. Grant had taken
the precaution to bring gun with him,
and his first impulse was to fire at the
creature; but he decided to investigate
further, and ascertained that his visitor
was sea lion. He called off the dog,
and managed to envelop the creature in
large sack and drag him into the front
yard. As soon as the dog was removed
the lion became quiet and very docile,
allowing Mr.. Grant to pat it on the
head. 1t was all covered with dust and
dirt, and its captor played the hose on
the tired animal, which showed unmis-
taxable signs of gratitude. Mr.. Grant
then brought out large wash tub and
filled it partly with water, and Mr.. Sea
Lion crawled in and had good bath.
If, as is supposed, the creature had es-
capped from the lake at Westlake park,
he had travelled nearly mile and was
heading direct for Santa Monica.

The Big Hotel at Last to
Be Built.
3 Contracts to be Let Within
Ten Days.
3 The Childs Estate and the Tenth
Street Project.
The Property Bought in for Song
Active Operations to be Com
menced-work to Begin In
Thirty Days.

The erection of mammoth hotel on
the piece of land known as the Tenth
street motel property is now assured.
Since the purchase of this valuable site
by the Childs estate, mention of which
was first made in the columns of the
HERALD, rumors have been rife as to
the intentions of the new owner.
From reliable information given a
HERALD reporter yesterday it is evident
that the purchase was made with the
intention of carrying out the original
project of giving this city hotel equal
in all respects to any in the country.
The estate obtained the property for
almost nothing, considering its value,
the price paid being the amount of the
judgment against the company, viz,
$26, 800. The lot is 305 feet square, and
about $166, 900 has already been invested
in the foundation and in the purchase
of material.
Since the purchase was made several
eastern parties have become interested
in the scheme and are now on their way
to this city. Upon their arrival active
operations will be instituted, and within
the next ten days contracts for the work
will be let. Inside of thirty days the
company will have workmen on the
ground, and the project which has come
to be looked upon as dead failure will
result in a splendid hotel.

always rested in Mannzen's hands; the
other officers never heard of them..
Life is usually pretty dull at San
Diego, and the loss of these invitations
bothered the Chileans good deal. Last
Tuesday night, when wine was flowing
pretty freely, the first engineer made
kick and the others all came in. Mann
zen resented their interference and a
war of words followed, the lie was
passed and duel was arranged between
Mannzen and the engineer. This has
probably been fixed up amicably or else
suppressed, as no intimation of its hav-
ing taken place has reached the out
side.
