WHY THEY WERE LET OUT
Meserve Will Testify on THURSDAY
Afternoon
rlcn In the Street Department Were Sud-
denly Dropped Out Of the Parks for
Queer Practices

Superintendent of Parks Elmo r. Me-
serve will go before the board of public
works next Thursday afternoon in order to
testify why certain men in his department
were summarily removed from their places
when he first assumed charge. Two of the
teamsters then dropped are at present en-
ployed in the street department, and when
asked before the board in the pending team
examination on Saturday why they had
been discharged, stated that they did not
know. Meserve will inform the board that
they and others were let out because they
were working teams in the parks owned by
others than themselves.
Auditor Fred Teal is working hard
checking up the bills of the various street
opening commissions, some of which are
claimed to have in several instances over
charged the owners of '"e PROPERTY inter.
ested. The report u ~ the subject viii
not be ready before the end of the present
week.

THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

Down at San Diego the cracks have made
great hit and society seems to have taken
them to its arms, il we may judge by the
letters that come from the City of Bay'n
Climate. There is not much danger of
their overriding the society part of it, as
long as they have Dave Shafer with them.
He will not allow them to do anything that
will interfere with their condition. The
arrival of the big pacing machines has
started the boys hard at work, and with
fair weather and a reasonable amount of
good luck, there ought to be some records
cracked on the Coronado track before long.
The Syracuse team are also the Morgan d
Wright record men, as they all ride these
tires. So about the first piece of work. that
Hamilton will do will be to have another
try at the unpaced mile record. He is de-
termiDed to get that slab of gold that the
Morgan d Wright company have hung up
for the record on their tires, and there
seems to be every reason to believe that he
will hold 1t by the end of the record season.
The fight over Rigby between the Syracuse
and Stearns teams as to who is his lawful
owner will PROBABLY be dropped, Rigby re-
manning with the Syracuse people.
At Santa Monica Dad Gleason has all
his men in good shape and is only await
ing good weather and dry track to begin
his attempts on time. The arrival of Will
bur Edwards from the north, and the two
triplets from the east, have started the
men to work, and this week will pro badly
see the first attack on records. There has
been good deal If curiosity to know who
Gleason had selected for his distance
records. but at last the cat is out of the
bag, and his name is Emil Ulbricht. Dad
Gleason knows him of old, and is con.
vinced of his ability TO follow pace for a
long distance faeter than any man NJ,
earth. Will Hatton will he sent for dis
tances between two and five miles, and
Edwards and Kiser will have shot at the
mile and fractions. 1t is likely that the
team will have to wait till after the cycle
shows for the big pacing machines, as the
The herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1893-1900, 1895-12-23

manufactures have a desire to exhibit
them.
1ns winters work will definitely decide
the relative merits of Southern California
and Florida for the purposes of training.
When the season is over aud the men are
in condition to return to the racing circuit,
it will have been decided whether 1t is
profitable to return to Southern California
for another year. At present, the two
trainers who are here, both men of nation
al reputation in their line, are enthusiasts
tic over the many advantages offered by
this country to the athlete. The fact that
at the beach the men training are enabled
to take plunge into the ocean at any
time without the least danger Of catching
cold il very valuable from the standpoint
of the trainer. The number of excellent
men that can be used as pacemakers for
the al tempts upon records is another val
liable consideration. The equable temper
ature and the pure air are great advantages.
And in the matter of fine tracks, Southern
California is not behind any section of this
country. However, this winter will decide
the question as to whether our state is or
is not the best place for training in this
country.

THE GAME OF LACROSSE

The championship game of lacrosse that
will be played on Christmas day, at Ath-
letic park, between the Los Angeles and
Riverside teams, promises to be one of the
best ever played in this part of
the country. The Los Angeles team
holds the championship of the
southern part of the state, and they
are challenged to play for the title by the
team representing Riverside. The latter
town has gathered together remarkably
strong team, as they always do in case Of
this kind. los Angeles will be seriously
handicapped by the loss of several of her
cracks, but Captain A. G. Way is doing his
best and will turn out good team to meet
the Riverside men in the game for the
championship. The game of lacrosse is
but little un derstood in this part of the
country, but 1t is one of the most exciting
games that ever was played. Tho chances
for brilliant individual work are greater in
this game than in any other where team
is required. and it IL game that essen

The dullness of the past week in sporting
circles Is amply made up for by the I'M
usual activity of the present. The Began
Brazier boxing contest will undoubtedly be
an event we'll worth seeing, the fact that
the men are 90 equally matched incIeasing
the interest greatly. This will be tie last
entertainment Of this kind that the Los An.
Reles Athletic club will give before its re-
noval to its new quarters.
The cycle show Is the point of interest to
all those who are affected with taste for
wheeling. There seems to be no doubt of
the entire success Of the affair, both from a
social and financial standpoint Should it
prove the success that is expected 1t will
become permanent event every year.
Such an exhibition does o great deal for
the cause of cycling, and shows narrow

bestridden by their own lean shanks.

Editor LOUISIANA POPULIsT !:

Editor LOUISIANA POPULIsT
Dear SIR Il copy the following
from the Daily Picayune of June
11th, '95, which l consider an
''cye opener: New York, juno
10th, eX- Congressman Frank Jones,
of Portsmouth, N. H., has Just
returned from his seventeenth an
nual tour to England. Il drove
in a carriage through the English
farming district" said he, "and /
found that the late frosts had killed
the crops there. AS result this
will make q market in England for
United States wheat, and will bring
good times for the Western farm
ers. AS soon as they find the
money coming for their products,
they will stop worrying about free
silver, and will become advocates
of sound money. So the silver
question will be no longer the po-
litical nightmare of this country"
Mr.. Editor, this makes 1t quite
easy to see their plan of attack
''run up" American products and
the silver craze will vanish. See
where cotton is /! and you are told
that it is advancing. There is no
telling where it will go cup" to,
this silver craze, that has possession
of the people will have to be des-
troyed, let the cost be what it will.
Before the Sherman act was re-
pealed we heard a good deal of
talk of ''want of confidence" and
long after 1t was repealed this
''want of confidence" talk was
continued, though the country was
comparatively quiet, and produc-
ton going on, and now! while
this country is on the very verge of
a great revolution we see conf
dence suddenly restored and our
products advancing. What other
meaning could this suddenly res
tored confidence have, but to CIR
cumvent the silver move I! This
trick is too transparent. and can
be seen through too easily to even
slightly jar the great silver move.
Yours truly,
j. A. j. GRIFFIN.
