OUT DOOR SPORTS.
AxAr1UR ATHLETES WANT TO Sc
CURE eUrTABLE GRoUNDs.
Athletic Club Members Taking the Iuatia-
tivs-soms Exprsssions Of Opinion
from Those Interested.

An organized effort is now being made
TO obtain suitable grounds for Los An
geles where athletic sports and such
games as baseball, lacrosse. cricket,
football and lawn tennis could be played.
Such q ground could be made very pop
ular in the city, and no one will deny
that they are not now necessity. The
Chicago baseball club for 1891 wants to
spend the month OF March in Los An
geles and get ready for the season Of
1901, but it is doubtful whether they
will now come, as there is not
9 decent ground in this city.
Il is almost two years since .
notwithstanding the fact that there are
more and better athletes here than ever
before. Very little has been done at
either lacrosse or cricket, simply on
account Of the lack Of grounds.
A HERALD reporter yesterday inter-
viewed several gentlemen, Mr.. George
Pyke, the president OF the Los Angeles
Athletic club, expressed himself as
class recreation park, and extended an
meet the directors Of the Athletic club
on the night of February lst at the
rooms Of the club. ~-
George Arnold, q director OF the
Athletic club: think it is capital
idea. am heartily in favor of securing
such a ground. The Athletic club is
now in position where it can do some
thing. The time is ripe for action, and
am glad the HERALD is going to help
push the matter to successful end.
W.. X. Pridhan, director Of the Ath-
letic club, was next seen, and said: II
will help to secure grounds. We will
never have any athletics here until
we get q good track. The grounds
should be at least 600 by 450 feet, and OF
easy access by the different car lines. l
think all the directors Of our club favor
the securing Of ground, and also
think that If all the different athletic
clubs put their shoulder to the wheel
that we can get the necessary money in
side Of two weeks. ,"
J. ID. Wiley, director Of the Athletic
club, said: II have advocated the Sc
curing of suitable grounds for two years
past. Two thousand dollars will put an
athletic park in first-class style. II there
il concerted action on the part OF the
interested parties, the money could
be raised inside OF a week.
With good grounds athletics would
make wonderful strides in Jos Angeles.
We cannot any longer afford to be with
opt an athletic park"
Sam Dewey and many other leading
lights Of the club are known to favor the
establishment OF an athletic park, and
NOW that the club intend to take hold
Of the matter, they will, no doubt, re-
ceive assistance from the cur lines and
other people benefited.

WHAT is rrf
A Sol Disant Scientist Expresses His
Skepticism.

A Sol Disant Scientist Expresses His
Skepticism.
Yesterday local paper published q
letter from an anonymous correspondent
protesting some knowledge OF scientific
subjects. in which an effort is made to
show the petriiied man Is not what it
purpofts tosbe. Now, in the first place,
the gentlemen who have the petriiaction
in hand, make no pretenses OF any sort.
In. this they differ from this so-called
scientific writer. All they know about
it is that the figure was found as repre-
sented, in the creek near Fresno.
In the second place this writer, 60
full of scientific Knowledge af-
ter seeing the figure, studying II,
taking the trouble to write about IL,
leaves the subject exactly where. he
found it, mystery still. He says he
does not believe it to be petrided man.
Why? Because, forsooth, these things
are rare. II they were plentiful there
would be no sense in exhibiting this one.
Then the scientist says this differs from
others previously found. That is not
conclusive against it. There is nothing
more common in science than the dis
covery OF fact that upsets all previous
convictions. Galileo was imprisoned
for discovering new TACT in science.
Columbus was laughed at by the so-
called scientists of his time for his new
facts. A fellow who never saw white
rose might be skeptical as to such
q flower; but if he. were wise the ex-
hibitiop Of one would remove his un-
belief. All that is claimed for this body
is that 1t was found as stated, beneath
the bed of an ancient river. Some day
twill be submitted to the scrutiny of
men competent to pass judgment on it.
Meantime it is mystery Of the ancient
river bed land as such is shown at 142
North Main street for the small sum of
25 cents, and the money is returned to
anyone, who, after seeing it, does not
think the sight worth the money. Ben
G. Wier, clerk Of the supreme court in
this city, knows P. b. Donahue, VIII
has charge OF the figure. He knows
him to be an honest man, and he knows
the place where this body was found,
and that it is full Of petrifactions Of all
sorts.

AN UNFORTUNATE WOMAN.
An Accident Causes Mental Aberra-


Yesterday afternoon about Eve O'Clock
the attention of Officer Fowle was
called to poorly clad woman who was
staggering under . self inflicted load Of
kindling wood along Alameda street.
As she reached the corner Of First street,
the woman fell prone to the ground,
and the officer rushing to her assistance
found that she had tainted, apparently
from sheer exhaustion. The patrol
wagon was summoned and in it the un-
conscious woman was conveyed to the
receiving hospital, where she was
treated BY Di. HI B. Wing. Upon re-
gaining consciousness the woman stated
that her name was Estella Fairchild,
and that the lived at the corner OF Los
Angeles and Winston streets. It was
evident from her actions that she was
ldemented, and after allowing her to re-
main in the hospital for about an hour
sOficer Huston was detailed to accom-
pany her to her home. While the off,
Ger was putting on hissc0at, however,
the woman darted out of the station,
and had disappeared altogether when
Huston reached the street. Itwas sup
posed that she had gone home; and
Huston was sent to her residence to in
quire whether or not she reached there
