A KICR FRO1 AWKWARD

Editor Herald In your paper of yes
terday appeared an article rejecting upon
the reputation OF Mr.. Walter f. Foster of
the Olympic club of San Francisco, as a
racing man. stating that he was afraid to
enter against the speedy men of the south,
also insinuatng that suspicion of crook
edness on the part of Foster crept into the
days sport.
| wish to correct this impression. Mr..
Foster has been on the path for the last
five years and has met all corners, hav-
ing raced against some of the speedest
men in the world, and has never before
been accused of int-heartedness or
crookedness. Mr.. Foster has not been in
condition since his accident in Oakland,
and both his physician and myself posi-
lively refused to let him ride in a contest
such as was run Saturday. To have done
so would have been a serious injury,
physically. and he could have made no
creditable showing.
Trusting that you will give this the
same prominence that you did the report
of yesterday, | remain yours truly,

Notes Here and There

The benefit baseball played at Athletic
park yesterday afternoon was successful
N every particular. Two games were
played for the benefit of Jack Moore,
pitcher and fielder for the Francis Will
yons who, while sliding to savo game
;wo weeks ago. broke his leg. About COO
people witnessed two highly interesting
games.
The PLAYING yesterday finished the
series of the Angel City league pennant
contests and the FRAMES Wilson's won the
banner by percentage of 6.25 to the Ad-
mirals AIS, the Wilson's having won ten
and lost six games, the Admirals having
won seven and lost nine.
Bnt the honors in Yesterdays games
were even, the Wilson's won the first game
by score of to 4 the Admirals taking
the second by score OF to 4.
The first game was close and exciting
one from start to finish. Young for the
Admirals made his first appearance in
the box in Los Angeles since he played
here with the San Francisco team i'll 1s9l
in the California league and he pitched
q very good game but received wretched
support during the first four innings. The
iniield men played schoolboy ball up to
then, then they steadled down and
played good ball the rest OF the game.
But the Francis Wilson's had already
scored enough runs to win the game
and their efforts were of no avail. Tyler
pitched for the Francis Wilson's and
played very steady game that was well
supported by the team behind him. The
features of the game were the fielding OF
Carmona. Rhodes, GUercio and Early and

made several fine stops and rapid throws.
Hart also played splendidly at second

Thomas and Strohm were in the points for
the Admirals. and for the Francis Wilson's
Hart started to pitch. but after two
innings his arm fell lame and he retired
to give Tyler a chance at it. Tyler had
pitched Che previous game, but he did
Verv well considering.
The Admirals were in much better form

The Phoenir Republican, in recent editorial, took occasion to condemn the Territorial Prison farm alleging It to be subject to inundation by the Co- dorado river, and of no value whatso- ever. We have no interest Tn the matter of the Repu5licam's feelings In reference to the powers that be, In the political government of the territory and we care not who it hauls over the coals in response to those feelings but we had always thought the paper hat an interest in this section ot the county sufficient to make 1t abstain from perversion of facts for the sake of mere abuse of our resources. The 2000 acres constituting the Prison farm, are not subject to inundatior from the Colorado or any other river The highest water mark made by th1 food of this year did not reach the lowest spot on the farm by eighteen inches, and the higher lands by number of feet.

A gua GaE5ente.

After a two weeks visit to the Agua Calientes the local repTesen- tative of the SENTINEL is once more filling his old position.
 On the evening of 18th, 1 took the express train for Sentinel, 90 miles east of here, accompanied by Capt. Wm. Poole, an early day Colorado river steamboat Captain and at the present time Com mander of the large and handsome steamer Piedmont, owned by the s. P. Company and plying between Oakland and San Francisco.
 We arrived at Sentinel quarter past nine o'clock the same evening and after considerable coaxing we prevailed upon Dixey Cummings, the s. P. Go. bumper at that place to give US lodging and food. Upon a more extended acquaintance we found MT. Cummings and his estimable young wife the essence of hospitality, and had it not been for their kindness we would prob ably have been compelled to sleep on the ground and dined on horn ed toads and rattle snakes. Our advice to those who may be con- templating a visit there to write Mir. Cummings for accommoda tions. The stage leaves Sentinel for the springs every Wednesday and Saturday.
 We took the stage on Wedues- day and at , D. m. we pulled ul at the Despair, hotel tired, thirsty and dirty. We were met at the door by the proprietress, Mrs. De- Spain and after making arrange ments for board and lodging we tcok cur first bath, which we enjoyed immensely.
 People who have visited the springs for rheumatism a~e loud in extolling the benefits from drink ing and bathing in the waters We heard of many wonderful cures from residents who live there and it is our opinion that they are moi exaggerated and that for rheuma. tism they can't be excelled, and that they are destined at no dis tant day to become famous for theil curing properties.
 The Captain who is suffering with severe attack of malaria after only weeks bathing had obtained so much re lief that he feels confident that ht will in few weeks be entirely cured.
 The springs cover an area 0 about five acres and number full1 25 living springs. We took the temperatures of eight during ou visit-and the thermometer register ed AS follows.
