BORCHERS FINDS THE CENTER.
He Throws the Ball Over the
Home Plate,
Aud Wins the Third Game of the
series from Oakland.
The Angels Bat the Bali Hard and
Safe just when It Does tho
Most Good-Notes OF
the Game.

1t is really pleasing to watch the way
the Angels walk up to the home plate
nowadays and swat out victory in
the first inning, That has been about
the way they have been doing things
this series, and it looks as if they might
keep it up for some little time yet.
Another cheerful thing about the game
yesterday at Athletic park was that
Borchers pitched and won his game, and
won it in spite OF Indifferent support in
the field. But how the Angels did bat
when hits meant runs
The new pitching rules were not in
force yesterday. By mutual agreement
between the captains OF the two teams
the pitchers we're allowed to use the
same little articles that have been in
vogue for many years in trying to fool
base runners, and the balk was not en-
forced every time pitcher winked
the other eye without throwing the ball.
1t was better in that way.
The Angels came to the bat at 8
a'clock yesterday afternoon with two
victories behind them and another with
in reach. Rasty started the procession
with hit and was advanced peg on
account of Horner's inability to find
the base after Earl fielded Hulen's bunt
to him. McCauley hit for one base and
Wright scored from second base. Hutch
inson sacrificed and Glenalvin's single
scored the two runners.
Oakland scored one in their half by
virtue of supreme stupidity. Borchers
was getting them squarely over the
plate and the Colonels were not hitting
them safely, but Hughes erred on hard
chance from Twins bat and then
muffed pop fly by Hines; and then,
with two men out and Irwin at third,
Lehman thought evidently that EsrPs
second strike was the third, and winged
the ball out into center field. Irwin
walked home. 1t was laughable.
Then the visitors tied the score in the
fourth inning. Irwin made double
and scored from second on Earl's single
The latter also scored on the throw in of
O'NeiIl's high fly to left.
But the Angels again took the lead in
the sixth inning. Hutchinson hit for
three baees, and then O'Neill fumbled
Glenslvin's boundeJ until it was too late
to field the ball to the plate.
Two more runs came to the locals in
their next venture. Lehman took sec
ond on Illness muff OF a fly to deep CEN
ter and scored on Hughes's three Dagger.
The latter scored on wild pitch.
The last run for the Angels came in
the last inning, Pete Lehman sent a
hot one to Collopy at third. who threw
wild and let the runner go to second. A
sacrifice by Hughes and Wright's single
did the rest.
Oakland gathered two more runs in
their half of the ninth. A wild throw
by Lehman and q hit by Hernon were
the leading factors.
The score:

THE Police lNTERFERED.
Two Belligerent Sons of CASTLE
About to Battle.
Senior Flores and Senior Oriza on
H0nor's Field.
The Editors OF Two spanish-American
Papers Had Arranged to Settle
Their Scores According to
the Code DuelIo.

Senior A. j. Flores, editor of the Two
Republics, a Spanish weekly paper
printed in this citv and Senior Oriza,
editor of Spanish paper printed at
Tucson, Ariz., we're due to meet on the
field of honor at an early hour yester-
day morning and battle to the death,
but for some unknown and as yet unex-
planned reason the duel has not come
off.
The event was to have taken place at
Elysian park, where the two descend
ants OF CASTLE were to meet each other
and settle an old score. 1t is said that
the preparations had all been made, and
had il not been for come unforeseen curl
osity and interference on the part of the
police department the duel would most
certainly have been by now a recorded
event OF the past.
II seems that between Senior Flores
and Senior Oriza there has for some time
past been quite breach. Just how far
back the ill feeling dates no one seems
to know. But anyway as time has
passed on and as the journals of Senior
Flores and of Senior Oriza have issued
each week, the entente cordiale between
bnc bWO kCtAA lOuIhhllbbb
has grown NJ IRE strained.
At length things reached a climax. 1t
came to point where if honor were not
conserved the battle could no longer be
waged with pens and harmless printers
ink. Then it was that, according to re-
port, duel was arranged between the
two warning editors. The weapons
agreed upon were pistols, and the battle
ground selected was Eysian park.
Friday Senior Orizs arrived in the city
from Tucson. He was around the city
during the day, meeting his friends.
Intelligence of the duel about to take
place reached Mrs. Flores. the estimable
wife of the editor of the Two Republics,
and che became very much frightened
News of the prospective duel created
quite sensation among the Spanish
American residents who were converssnt
with the facts in the case, and coneid
cred en- encounter of the character an
imminent possibility.
The police department was informed,
and officers were detailed to prevent any
meeting of the two belligerent editors.
One officer WAS maintained at the resi-
dence of Senior Flores until late hour
Friday evening, awaiting his return. He
had upon departing from his home
Friday said nothing to his wife about
any duel but had twice babe her an af-
fectionate farewell before his departure,
and this double farewell his wife re-
garded as sure indication that the duel
was to be fought. For this reason she
was greatly worried.
Until late hour last night the meet
ing had not taken place. 1t is thought
that the police surveillance has inter-
fered materially with the plans that had
been arranged. Both gentlemen were
seen last night and very properly denied
that any duel will be fought. Those
who ought to know claim that one is
still on taps.

WANTS A RRHEARINe.


An Attempt to Reopen the DIR. Burnett
Contempt Proceedings.
At 4 80 o'clock, yesterday afternoon
an attempt was made by Sheldon Dor.
den, representing DR.. I. L. Burnett, to
secure rehearing from Judge Smith,
in the contempt proceedings. which re-
suited several days ago in the conviction
of the doctor and his being fined 500.
Since the conviction the missing sub.
poena was discovered in the districtattor-
ney' office. which was looked for so dill
gently at the time of the hearing. This
subpoena was the one containing the
names OF witnesses subp9naed at the
preliminary examination of Henry
Bentley before Justice Seaman. 1t was
found to contain the name of DIR. Bur
nett, and the return was made by Deputy
Constable Brakesuhler.
1t will be rememb ered that DIR. Bur-
nett claims he was not eubpRnaed for
the Bentley trial, and that was his de-
Tense in the contempt proceedings. II
was admitted all arc und that if he was
not subpBnaed he was not in contempt
when he went into the mountains fish
ing and failed to come to the trial until
sent for. The doctor stated that he was
positive Detective Lawson subpenaed
him for the preliminary examination,
while the latter was equally positive
that he subp9naed him for the trial,
and might have done 30 for the exam
ination, but thought not.
After discovering the subpoena show
ing service by Brakesuhler Mr.. Borden
thought he might as well give up and
admit that DR.. Burnett was mistaken
But he happened to telephone Brakes
uhler and the latter told him he had
not subppnaed DR.. Burnett, although
the return showed that he had. He
said it was customary for the officers to
thus make returns and put In the whole
list of names. He thought Grabel, Law
sons assistant, had made the service
Brakesuhler made an affidavit to this
effect, and it was attached to the sub
pRna.
Yesterday afternoon at the time men
toned Mr.. Borden presented affidavits
to the above state of things, and wanted
the court to grant rehearing He de.
sired at such rehesring to introduce tes-
timony as to the credibility of the wit
nesses against DR.. Burnett, and made
quite an extended argument in favor oil
his motion.
Mr.. Willis, appearing for Mr.. Lawson
presented counter affidavit 8, still insist
ing that Mr.. Lawson's statements were
correct, and that he was ready and will.
ling to go into an investigation as to his
reputation.
The court seemed very reluctant tc
make any change in his former ruling
and absolutely refused to go into the
character OF the witnesses. He finally
stated that he would at present reserve
his decision, and would think over the
matter.

Notes of the Game.
Two games.

Two Rduca-
The first will be called at / O'Clock,
and the second Immediately upon the
conclusion of the first.
Borchers put up superb game yes
terday. Had his support been perfect
the Oaklands would only have made one
run.
Two games for one admission are sell
dom offered to the fans, and they will
doubtless take advantage of it today.
John Brink, that popular baseball en-
thusaet, and "Pop" McCaulev, the
favorite fret baeeman of the Angels, are
said to have wagered $50 a side on a foot
race which Will take place today at
Athletic park Immediately after the
first game. The course will be from
second base TO the home plate, on
straight line. Brink claims the
championship for anyone of his
weight, 40S, and recently won a
leather medal at Garsvanza. McCsuley
tips the beam at 397, and recently
won 100-yard race in 10 minutes
and 30 seconds at Milpitas. Drinks
best time is two seconds faster. The
race promises to be an interesting one,
and will attract many to the baseball
game who have been looking forward to
the great event for some time past. The
pools sold last night at baseball head
quarters were slightly in favor of Brink
The first pool was: Brink, Soc; McCau
ley, Zoe. The fourth and last pool stood :
Brink, 81; Nc 'suley, 90c.

Have q Water Faur Of Petitions st Yes
feraay's Session.
1t did not take the finance committee
OF the city council very long to dispose
of what came up before them yester-
day. There were only four petitions,
to wit:
From William Fl. Dukeman, asking
that taxation be RENTED for the year
1928 on $500 worth of personal prop
erty household furniture) alleged to be
owned by him in that year, at 1923 West
Thirtieth street. In relation to this the
city assessor says that "Dukeman made
no return of his property for that year,
and as the personal property referred to
was found on the premises of the petit
toner it was supposed to belong to him
and assessed accordingly. He is now
satisfied the furniture belonged to his
tenants and should have been assessed
to them. He is a practicing physicician,
however, and as such must have had
some personal property. | have there
fore no further recommendation to
make"
The petition of Frances Mcdonald
shows that she is the owner of lot 8.
in block v, of the Mott tract; and that
she was assessed in 1892 for $500 in inn
provements and $500 for furniture
(Which was already assessed together
with lot II, in block L of the same
tract), which was unjust. The lot g. in
block V, has not and never has had any
Improvements thereon. She therefore
asks that the sum of 500 80, enormously
assessed, be returned to her. Mr.. J.
W. Hinton. city assessor, aigns the petit
tion in favor of it's being granted.
The following petitions we're returned,
with recommendation that they be
filed:
From Edward Harrington, asking for
rebate of taxes on an erroneous asses g.
ment on improvements to lot q block l.,
of Highland tract No. L, at there were
no improvements at that time to said
lot.
From Little & Avery, asking that the
taxes on lot is, block D, of the johnson
tract, be Cancelled and redeemed of rec
ord, the same having been doubly as
eeesed.

A Lively Real Estate Market Many
New Colonies.
VENTURA, May 6.-areat changes are
taking place and valuable improvements
soon to be made in Ventura. the gem OF
the southern counties. One of the
events which will add very materially to
che development of the county ia the
coming sale OF the Las Posas rancho,
consisting of $4,000 acres, at auction on
the 10Th, 18th and 18th of this month.
This opens up to actual settlers one of
the choicest tracts OF land in one OF the
most favorable locations in all Southern
California. A good many are looking
the property over with view to buying
on the days of sale. Adjoining this
ranch, in the northwest corner OF the
SINH, a body of prominent Methodist
ministers have bought large
tract of choice fruit lands and
are laying it off into lots of
from five to fifty acres, and are going
to found town to be known az Ep-
worth, in honor of Wesley's old home in
England. The project is to put almost
the entire tract in fruit. Already 80 600
trees have been engaged to plant next
spring.
A Scandinavian colony is negotiating
through Rev. George NJ. Smith of Sati-
coy for another large tract in the SINH
and Las Posas valleys.
Another colony Of Germans, from
Montana, are figuring for a suitable
tract for 30 or GO families. Unless all
signs fail, Ventura county will see a
greater degree of development and pros
perity i'll the next - months than she
has ever seen before.
