PASADENA.

Christmas services-,A Baseball Game.
Electric Light.
PASADENA, Dec. %. - Christmas in
PasadenA passed very quietly, as is usu-
ally the case with holidays in this city.
Services were held in most OF the
churches this morning and Christmas
entertainments for the young people in
the evening.
+, Contrary to what might have been
expected from yesterdays downpour,
the day was delightfully."- clear and
bright, and the usual large number OF
smart turnouts was to be seen upon our
streets.
Most OF the places OF business were
closed. few keeping open until noon.
The mountains attracted many and
good travel was reported over the MT.
Lowe railway.
LOS ANGELES VS.. PASADENA.
A game of baseball between Los
Angeles nine and picked Pasadena
team was witnessed by good-sized
crowd on the Athletic club grounds this
morning.
The home team is in very disorgan-
lied condition, and to make an interest
ing game the visitors had to loan sew
eral OF their players, filing the places
with green men.
Then, however, they were too much
for the local team, winning hands down
by score OF to g The personnel of
the players was as follows: Los Angeles
Hart, Rhodes, Slaney, Randall,
Young, Newmayer, Van Horn. Meath
and Freeman. Pasadena - Rippey,
Langworthy, Boynton, Hicks, Hemp
hill, Robinson, Early and Beebe.
1t is an unfortunate fact that this city
has no baseball club worthy OF the
name, which is all the more to be de-
plored from the fact that there is an
abundance of good material here.
The trouble seems to be in lack Of
organization which would gather and
hold club of our best players. Mines
have been frequently organized and have
done good work, only to fall to pieces in
short time. 1t is to be hoped that the
Athletic club or some similar society
will take hold of the matter and see that
q club is organized for keeps.
ANOTHER FALL DOWN.
The Throop football club seems to be
in hard luck when it comes to getting
games with outside clubs, game was
oIigipelly axrangsd.5aI today betMsen
was declared off by telegram fecsiVsld FeaS iNIslS
| yesterday from the manager Of the Po.
mona club announcing that he was not
able to get the boys together.
The Alhambra team, which has been
recently organized in connection with
the athletic club at that place, was then
tackled, and agreed to come up this
afternoon. This fact was duly pub
lished and good crowd was the result,
only to find that the Alhambra BOYS
were non est. A practice game was
played but amounted to little.
The habit which several of the foot.
ball teams hereaboute have acquired of
making engagements for games, only to
break them at the last moment, ia q
most annoying one, and the sooner they
learn that the public have few rights,
the better 1t will be for all concerned.
The Alhambra team is O new one, and
this is but poor introduction for them
to the football public.
THAT ELECTRIC LIGHT CONTRACT.
Tomorrow, in accordance with an
order to the council. bids will be opened
for supplying the city with electric
lights for the period of l, or years,
commencing January let, '94.
AT the last meeting two bids were re-
ceived, one from the Pasadena Electric
Light and Power company, and one
from the San Bernardino Electric Light
and Power company. Neither were en-
tertained, and both will have another
chance tomorrow, if they desire.
Considering the short time which now
remains, before January 1st, it is diff
cult to see how the outaide company
proposes to fulfill its contract, should it
be awarded the bid, as considerable
time would be necessary to establish a
plant.
