to encourage team. batting is to give the
batter who makes sacrifice hit not
only credit for it but also in reckoning

changes the batting will be sufficiently
increased to make the game fast enough

The Jacobv Bros.' Baseball club re-
turned from San Bernardino yesterday
with another game to its long list Of
victories, having defeated the club of
that city by score of 20 to IA. Owing
to the heavy wind and the rough condi-
ton of the grounds, it was impossible to
play q close game. A large crowd wit
messed the game and cheered every good
play. Stevenson of the Jacoby Bros.
distinguished himself at the bat. Bus

aion of certain land in San Diego county,
with damages for the withholding there
of. The main point involved is as to
whether or not the evidence was auffi-
Gent to sustain the verdict, the de-
fsndants contending that it was not
shown that they were in possession OF
the land sued for, which fact is most
material to the Issue. The supreme
court, after lengthy review OF this
point, said in the opinion:
THE possession of the land by the
defendants was a fact to be shown by
the plaintiff, and while it may be
constructive, as contradistinguished
Chiradelli, 45 CAL, 1850 yet the evil
dence presented in this case did not tend
to establish a, constructive possession,
and il is not a presumption of law that
trespass continues from the time of its
commission until any subsequent date,
nor should the jury have been permitted
to infer the possession of the defendants
from the fact that they had previously

la CROSSE At ATHLETIC PARK,
The Riversides Defeat the Los
Angeles Team.
A Spirited and Interesting Exhibi-
ton of the Indian Game.
Los Angeles Labored Under Severe
Handicap-Many OF the Best
Local Players Absent-A
One-Sided Score.

A few hundred sporting enthusiasts
witnessed an exciting and interesting la
crosse contest at Athletic park yesterday
afternoon, and were rewarded with fair
exhibition of the Canadian game. La
crosse is not as we'll known in this coun-
try as it should be, for the game has
many sportsmsnlike qualities, and there
is enough of the ecrimmage and scrap
nature about it, coupled with chance
for the display of hard work, to keep the
interest always up to high tension.
The Riverside and Los Angeles teams
have played several matches, and so far
results have been even, which added to
the interest that conferred in this game.
The local team was handicapped by the
unavoidable absence of three of the best
players, and the consequent weakness at
critical moments was very noticeable.
However, they put up an earnest and

lowed for Riverside after 95 minutes'
play, and from this time no more points
were scored until after all the spectators
had left the grounds.
At about 4 o'clock number of the
Riverside players withdrew from the
game, and there wss considerable talk
about calling the game a draw. Under
that impression the spectators left the
grsunds; but it appears that the game
was resumed later and resulted in an
other goal for the visitors, making the
score 2 to 0 in their favor.
Considering the disadvantages under
which the Los Angeles team was work.
ing, it would seem to a layman that they
put up very creditable game, with the
exception that the support they gave to
their own players was not prompt
enough. Each player stuck close to his
individual opponent, and did his best to
check him. but team support was lack

THEY THREW STONES.

Two Railroad Men Get into Trouble on
Alameda Street.
You say in the paper that it is John
Doe and Richard Roe," remarked Police
Clerk "Major" Bean, with that marked
courtesy OF manner which has earned
for him the title of the Chesterfield of
the police force, shortly after two we'll
dressed young men were brought into
the police station yesterday afternoon.
Officer Fay had arrested the men on
Alameda street, where they were play
fully masking in the shutters of one of
the cribs with stones, and was relating
the circumstances to a reporter, when
the police clerk declined to give their
names. Afterwards, when spoken to
about the matter by Chief Glass, he
stated that his reason for not giving
their names was because they had not
been put on the book at the time the
question was asked, though he had
noted them on q memorandum.
The men were j. w. Vanderbilt and
E. f. Hurbert, two Pullman car con.
ductors on the Santa Fe railroad They
were under the influence OF liquor when
brought to the station, and had been
taking in the row of cribs on Alameda
street. At one place, near the Basket
saloon, they entered into conversation
with some of the inmates OF one OF the
cribs, and they we're told to move along.
One of them struck the shutter of the
place with his fist, and they then pro-
cured stones and engaged in fusillade
of the place. The inmates blew a DO
lice whiatle and the fellows ran away.
They were caught by Officer Fay, how.
ever, and the patrol wagon summoned.
At the station the men acted as if they
were very much outraged by their ar
rest, and threatened to make it hot for
the people who had the audacity to in
terfere with free American citizens in
the exercise of their insliensble rights.
They were required to put up 500 apiece
for their appearance in the police court
today.

He WOULD ADORN A HALTER,
A Rape Fiend Who Attempted
an AtrOciOus Crime.
Little Teresa Casula Narrowly Es-
capes Being His Victim.
An Unknown Mexican Who Tried tc
Outrage the Person of an Unpro-
tected Child on Tuesday
Evening Last.

An atrocious assault to commit rape
was committed Tuesday evening about z
O'Clock, which the police department
has been keeping secret, but the partic-
ulars Of which were obtained yesterday.
The victim was little girl Is years of
age by the name of Teresa Casulo, who
lives with her family at place up in a
canon back of the Catholic cemetery.
She was sent after some cows belong
ing to her father between and 7
O'Clock. She had to go quite little
distance from the house to find them in
the pasture, and was bringing them
home, when she was assaulted by a
Mexican. He was young man about
25 years old, quite strongly built, with
black hair and eyes, and without any
particular distinguishing marks. He
took the girl to the side of the road,
threw her down in spite OF her cries and
struggles. and proceeded to the &C.
complishment Of his purpose. He held
the girls mouth 80 that she could not
scream, and had almost succeeded,
when the girls brother and a friend,
who had been up the road, accidentally
but most OPPORTUNITY came along. The
Mexican jumped up and ran away
az fast as he could, the men after
him. They got go cloee to him that
they picked up stones and tried to bring
him down. He was hit several times,
and grunted, but kept right on. In
order to tighten himself for greater
speed he threw off his coat and that,
which the pursuers secured.
1t was almost dusk when the assault
was made and grew rapidly dark while
the young men were trying to catch
him, so that he finally got away. The
boys then procured horses and followed
him, but without avail. They rode to
the city and reported the occurrence at
police headquarters about O'Clock at
night. Mounted Officer Woodward was
sent out to assist in the search, but al
though the hills back of the placeHwere
secured in every direction the fellow
easily made himself scarce in the dark
ness. He may have been and probably
| was within hearing and almost touching
distance of the people hunting for him.
but it was dark night and it was not
difficult matter to evade detection.
The police yesterday made some efforts
to capture the Mexican, but had not
succeeded up to last night.
The little girl was somewhat bruised
in the scuffie with her assailent, and her
clothes were torn, but it is not believed
that she was otherwise injured.
The young men had great chase after
the fellow, and one of them was almost
within reaching distance of him at one
time, when he threw off his coat and hat
and made fresh squirt. He must have
been hurt quite badly by the stones with
which he was hit, but by desperate
tenacity kept along and distanced his
pursuers.
The people in the neighborhood were
very much excited over the attempted
crime, and if the man had been caught
it would have been all up with him.

POLICE VS.. CON STABLE.
Deputy District Attorney Conkling Talk
Ahout the Contaat.

Deputy District Attorney Conkling Talk
About the Contest.
Deputy District Attorney Conkling
said to a HERALD reporter yesterday that
there was some misconception on the
part OF the police department as to the
attitude OF the district attorneys office
about the placing of business in the
different juetice courts. He claimed
that the district attorney is clothed with
discretionary power, by which COM
plants may be fled in certain courts
when in his judgment justice will be
better obtained.
Referring to the claim of the
police department. that they were acting
to save the county money that the con-
stables would get, for services which
should be performed without other pay
than their salaries, by police officers,
Mr.. Conkling said there would be no
saving, that the constables had no
difficulty in working up to their $S3 a
month, and almost invariably over it.
That amount was all they could get, and
they were officers elected under the
law.
There ia certain amount OF criminal
business, and if there are too many men
to do it, the police force should be
decreased. In regard to limitations
that he stood in with Justice Bartholo-
NEW Mr.. Conkling said that as mat
ter of fact he did not believe that
functionary was very friendly to him,
owing to legal matters which had taken
place before he went into the district
attorneys Office.

THROUGH THE CEILING.
ANOTHER ESCAPE FROM TIE CITY
PRISON.
A Man Cots Tired of Being in Jail
and Punches q Hole in the
Roof and Makes an
Exit.

1t has been only few days since 10
prisoners in the city jail quietly made
their way out, and not trace of them
has been discovered since that time.
An investig alton OF the escape, was made
and as result Jailer Hare, a, faithful
and intelligent man, was stupidity made
to bear the brunt OF the affair by being
suspended from his position. The
HERALD took the position at the time
that the city council was to blame n
allowing the old rattle trap of jail t @
remain in condition where, by tn g
slightest exertion, prisoner cou Id
escape.
Since the escape the other day new
jailer has been put in, and two police
officers, in addition, have been kept on
guard in the jail at night. But yester-
day afternoon, about 6 O'Clock, in spite
of this vigilance, young man named
Murphy, in jail for 80 days for vagrancy,
made his escape through the roof win
dow at the rear part. He had been act
ing as assistant cook for several days in
the day time and was locked up
in cell at night. Yesterday
afternoon just after dinner and before
the dishes were cleaned up, Officer
Hill, who is day jailer, stepped into the
hospital for moment. The cook turned
around to get Murphy to do something,
but he had gone to the back room and
had climbed up to the barred windows
above. He managed to pull loose bar
out, squeeze through and escape over
the back wall of the jail, into the va
cant lot where the batch of ten disap.
peared.
Just how long the city authorities
will maintain Jail that is such laugh
ing stock is the question. Its insecurity
has become go we'll known that the
police department is under great un-
easiness all the time.
Murphy had served about half his
time, and had not been recaptured up
to late hour last night.
