Sentenced to Twenty Years in the
Missouri Penitentiary.
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 2.-Adelbert D. Sly,
the self-convicted Glendale train-robber,
appeared to-day in the court at Clayton to
receive the sentence of Judge Edwards
for his crime. Without ceremony his
doom was pronounced twenty years in
the State Penitentiary.
Hedgepeth was to have been arraigned
to-day, but was too i'll to appear, and so
was left in his cell undisturbed. Sly all
along denied that Hedgepeth was one OF
the gang, but admits that Francis, the
robber killed at Lamar, Mo-, was one of
the Glendale gang. Hedgepeth feels sure
he will be able to prove an alibi.

THE CALIFORNIA LEAGUE.
Will Los Angeles Be Admitted This
Year?

Year2
1t is now reported that the choice for
a place in the California League lies be-
tween Sacramento and Los Angeles. The
baseball man on the Examiner, who is a
financier, thus sizes up the situation:
cit is certain that San Francisco and
San Jose will be in it, but the "rub" comes
in selecting the third one. The choice
lies between Sacramento and Los An
geles, though just how the latter city
could be taken in and any profit made
by the team there is not clear to those
who have made pretty close study of
the baseball situation OF the Pacific
coast. With Los Angeles in the cir
cult the ''jump" that would have
to be made would eat up too much
money in railroad fares to leave much
OF margin for salaries, expenses and
profit, unless a very low rate OF fare
could be obtained from the railroad
company. which is highly improbable.
But it is fact that the advisabilitv Of
taking Los Angeles into the new league
camp is being seriously considered, and
there are plenty people in the southern
city with lots OF money who are anxious
to have something to do with the bust
ness end of the fascinating game called
baseball"
If there are reliable parties in Los An
geles ready to put in team, the base
ball magnates should not hesitate in this
matter. Los Angeles could be relied
upon to support a league team. The
difference in the railroad fares would be
more than connterbalanced by the much
larger crowds that would attend, as Los
Angeles has three times more people to
draw from than Sacramento. and anoth-
or point is that the people down here are
not SO hard up for money.

The biggest 3.year-old winner that
ever appeared on the American turf was
Hanover who, in 1887, won twenty
races. aggregating in value $685. ,S27. In
