Now that tie season of outdoor 18th
lstic games has opened. tho usual list of
injured from professional ga,neso of base
bail. cricket, football and similar rough
games may be expected To appear. But
though a number DO get inquired in this
way every season q fur more common
dagger ia from the excitement which &C
companies these games. In the excite
ulent of highly contested games the play
era run the risk of enlargement of the
heart, which may prove fatal ut the time
or drag along for years. While a few OF
the players can endure almost anything
in the way of excessive muscular exer-
ton others of an ambitious and excita-
lie nature run great risks.
Many Of the games demand a contin-
ned exertion of u dangerous and reckless
kind, and nothing short of a permanent
injury to the player must follow where
C-citable temperanents engage long In
tae games. Often one suffers from q
slight heart arrangement which would
never trouble him If he did not strain
himself in excitab.e games. The true
WY is to demand a rigid examination Of
al hose who would enter into games for
long continued struggles. Exercise of q
proper sort is beneficial. but many can
ros stand more than the gentlest sort

state board OF regents and the local

conclusions with a view to putting an
end TO the ictermlnable wrangle that

NO BASEBALL FOR Los ANGELES.
The Sacramentos and 0akIands Re-
fuse to Go There,
Because the Games Do Not Pay-The
Local Team at Home-A Very
Bad Muddle.

The Sacramento baseball team, which
was to have left San Francisco on Tues
day night for Los Angeles, refused to go
because they were not guaranteed 500
over and above their expenses.
1t seems the Los Angeles games have
not been paying. and the Oakland and
Sacramento club managers decline to go
there unless 500 guarantee is given.
There is danger of the league being
broken up, but there is also talk of plac-
ing the Los Angeles team in Stockton,
owing to the long distance between the
baseball centers and the southern city.
Last evenings Post had the following to
say on
THE SITUATION:
THE Sacramento team did not leave
for Los Angeles last night. and there is a
possibility that the club may not go south
at all. 1t seems that the attendance in
the City of Angels has reached such low
mark that the San Francisco and Oak
land Clubs demanded guarantee of SlC0
above all expenses, and this was agreed
to by Mr.. Hammond who now controls
the Los Angeles Club.
"A few days ago Mr.. Moore, the pro-
prietor Of the Sacramento franchise, de-
manded a similar guarantee for his club,
and Hammond refused to grant it, say
ing that he would make an even division
OF the gate receipts. Moore declined to
accept this offer, and stated that he would
not allow his men to make the southern
trip unless the guarantee was provided
for.
THE Sacramento team came to this city
yesterday, and several kilograms passed
between Whitehead, who represented
Moore, and Hammond, without a salts
factory result being reached.
IF promise of the guarantee is not
obtained before 4:30 O'clock to-day the
Sacramento Club will return home to-
night. If this step is taken it is likely
that there will be another shake-up in the
California League. 1t is probable that
Los Angeles will be dropped from the
circuit and new town substituted.
There was some talk last night of the
Los Angeles team being placed in Stock
ton. EXManager Finn stated that a GER
tain resident of this city, who desires to
enter into the baseball business, is will
ing to assume charge of the Los Angeles
Club and locate it in Stockto ton"
THE TEAM RETURNS.
The Sacramento team returned from
San Francisco last night. as the Los
Angeles people failed TO give the guaran-
tee demanded.
Manager Moore, however, did not
come up, but will be here to-day, when
something definite may be learned re-
gardlng future operations. All that the
men know is that the Los Angeles series
Will not be played as scheduled, but only
the managers can tell what will follow.

WRIGHT WAS WRONG.
He is Liable to stay in Jail for Sor
lime to Come.

He is Liable to stay in Jail for Some
lime to Come.
A rough-loolling individual, giving his
name as John Wright, was locked up in
cell in the City Prison last evening on a
charge of disturbing the peace, but the
prospects are that the charge will be
raised to one of attempted robbery this
morning.
Wright invaded lower L street, it ap-
pears, and after making the acquaintance
of one of the fallen women of that quarter
entered her house and attempted to take
her purse from her. Tie woman's
screams attracted a crowd of men and
women to the place, but they could not
get into the house, as Wright had locked
the door on the inside.
County License Collector Miller was
among those who arrived on the scene.
and he commanded Wright 10 surrender.
The latter declined, however, and he
could not be dislodged until the outsiders
smashed in the window.
Officers Green and Goods were sent for.
and upon reaching the scene of the trouble
took Wright into custody. 1t is expected
that the woman whom Wright assaulted
Will swear to complaint charging him
with attempted robbery this morning.
