Never before has Los Angeles be-
slowed upon a baseball club such honors
as yesterday fell to the lot of the Tufts
Lyons team upon the return of that
aggregation of players from the con-
quests of the north. Realizing the fact
that the young bali players had made
in their struggle for the Examiner
trophy and attendant honors most gall
liant fight against unequal odds, and by
their victories had added to the glory of
the name of Los Angeles, it seemed but
fitting that citizens should make some
public acknowledgment and prove their
appreciation. 1, was this sentiment that
prompted the unique demonstration yes
terday afternoon that served to empha-
size not only the fact that Los Angeles
possesses baseball talent par excel
lence, but is aware of the fact and is
proud of it.
The Tufts-Lyon team, crowned, fig
uratively, with the chaplet of Laurel as
baseball champions Of California, Ore
gon. Washington and Nevada, came
home yesterday. after finishing the
series of games in the north and van

When the train arrived the bal play

The trophy is an object of plain and
massive beauty, fashioned most appro-
priately for the sport. Upon an ebonized
pedestal stand three crossed bats of sill
Yer bullion supporting a large ball of the
same metal. Surrounding the ball is
miniature figure of a baseball player
in regulation costume. The base is
suitably inscribed. The trophy upon its
base stands over two feet high, and is
costly piece of work.

ATHLETIC CLUB RECEPTION.
The reception given to the Tufts-Lyon
baseball team at the rooms of the Los
Angeles Athletic club last evening was
one of the most unique entertainments
ever seen in any circles of this city. In
response to invitation the club members
and friends congregated at the elegant
clubhouse to participate in function of
which none knew the details, and be-
fore the evening had passed away the
entertainment proved to be one of great
~ diversified character, and not only
houored the ball players but amused
| the participants and spectators.
After an informal conversation" in
the club parlors the company, which in
Guided many of the best known citizens,
county and city officials, congregated
| in the gymnasium around the prize ring.
Within that roped enclosure President
John Brink escorted j. w. Mitchell esq
who, though this was the first time he
had ever made speech in prize ring
showed himself at home. He welcomed
home the young ball players, on whom
he conferred the title of heroes, and said

erbockers and sweaters, or even in their
everyday clothes.
After the first greetings beneath the
arched roof of the Arcade depot the ball
players and attendant crowds flied out
and took places in the waiting carriages
and tallyhos. Then, marshaled by
United States Marshal Covarrubias the
parade moved up town. First, there was
squad of police on horseback, followed
closely. by the Los Angeles Military
band on foot. After the band came a
dozen carriages and three tally-ho
coaches. In the first carriage rode

enbach, President Teed of the city
council and Councilman Munson. Mex,

resentatives. Following this came car
riages bearing prominent citizens who
are more or less confirmed baseball
fanatics.
In one tally-ho rode in full working
uniform the Athletic club football team,
in another was the Francis Wilson base
ball club and in the last of the tally-hos
rode the guests of honor. the Tufts
Lyon baseball team. The ball players
though naturally feeling much elated
over their succession of victories, bore
the honors of this demonstration with
becoming modesty. They bore aloft the
red and gold penrant which declared in
gold emblazoned inscription the victory
of its bearers Manager Shields carried
in his lap the silver trophy that was the
guerdon of those who strove with bat
and ball upon the diamond field.
Thus formed. the professions moved

Temple and Spring streets by Sergeant
|. Morton, While half drunk, begging and
insulting passing ladies, received 100,
ninety, seventy and sixty days to work
alongside of Roberts. Another street
beggar arrested by Deputy Constable
MuEnemi, was awarded sixty days.
Ten box car sleepers, captured in the
Terminal and Southern Pacific yards,
were soon disposed of. Three who gave
good excuse and who appeared to be
workingmen, were released on sixty
day iloaters. One got fifteen days, five
ten days and one tive days, all straight
sentences without the alternative of q
fine, which would make no difference
anyway, as not enc of them had over 10
cents to his name.
Complaints daily pour in at head
quarters of the insolent actions Of
tranps WHO apply at residences for
food or money, to say nothing of the
multitude of petty thefts reported from
all over the city. Yesterday afternoon
we'll known lady residing on Twenty
first street between Union avenue and
Toberman street while alone in the house
opened her door in response to a knock
to find burly hobo on the porch who
wanted food and money, Offering 10
work ii given a chance. He was taken
into the kitchen and given a lunch, but
grufiy refused a glass of milk when
offered, saying he wanted whisky. AZ
ter he had eaten he was told to go to
work wedding the lawn, for which he
would be given 10 cents an hour.
He worked but short time when his
actions became SO unDearable that the
lady went out, telling him he need work
no longer, and Offering 20 cents for his
services. The brute cursed her and de-
manded half days pay, but finally ac-
cepted the proffered cash. AS he turned
to go he threatened to burn the house
down and heaped maledictions upon her
m Is,1, l.
repeated his threats of burning tho
house, and even said he had half mind
to go back and kill his benefactress for
treating him SO scurrilously when she
was rich and he had nothing.
On being reminded that he was liable
to land in Jail if not careful he replied
that he did not care, he wanted to get
there SO as to be sure of square meals
and a bed. This is only one instance out
of hundred. Another tramp, when Of
fered tea with a lunch vilely cursed the
kind hearted woman who fed him. be-
cause she had no coffee. Still another
when left on the front porch while lunch
was being prepared for him, coolly saun-
tered into the parlor and refused 10
bulge. saying he would get out when he
got ready. In this instance, however. the
fellow ran up against woman Of deter
mination, for she coolly went into bed
room, procured a revolver and ran the
man out in a hurry.
While there are, no doubt, deserving
men among this class, who have been
unfortunate, are willing to work and
thankful for any little relief given, the
majority of them are "moochers" and
the lowest type of hobos. They never
did and never will do stroke of work
if possible to avoid it. but a good start
has been made toward keeping their
idle hands from mischief and enrichng
the city by their labor at the end Of a
ball and chain.

that their achievements had made Los
Angeles the athletic center of Califor-
mia. lie declared that the ball player
at the bat with three men OH bases, can
be as much of hero as the soldier on
the field of battle. for it may be that
the whole game depends on him.
After Mr. Mitchell's speech Manager
Shields was called for to reply in be-
half of the club, and this he did with tell
ing effect, saying among other things
that though they had been treated like
princes and won their victories they
were glad to get home.
After the speeches. came the first of
series of athletic events. This was a
wrestling match between Tasche and
Sentous, who is called the Sandow of the
club. The wrestling was purely scien-
tific, both men being. evenly matched,
and each one won fall.

The crowd at and near that point was
quite formidable one and showed a
lively interest in what was going on
and gratif1cation over the Significance
of the demonstration.
The tally-ho that was occupied by
the corquering young heroes was deco
rated ard bore upon its sides a muslin
banner bearing the legend 'Tufts-Lyon

MA, Oregon, Washington and Nevada. !"
Upon arrival at the Spring street store
the boys disembarked and went within,
where they met their friends and passed
some time pleasantly in relating ex-
periences.
The silken banner and the silver trophy
were placed in conspicuous positions in
the store to be admired as prizes, to be
coveted by devotees of athletic sports.

gaining any particular advantage.
Following this came some burlesque
sparring and tumbling by two clowns
Fay Stephenson and Ben Bogner who
were quite clever, not only in their fun
ny business but in their acts of agility.
The banjo and guitar club next played
a selection and responded to an encore

of the large audience. after which Van

the sides of the spectators still ached

man, Cotton, seemed to grow uneasy
under the repeated thumpings from the
white man. Gallagher. In the third
round Cotton was very groggy and was
knocked fiat by Highlander. but got
up in time. He showed signs OF dizziness
when time was called. In the fourth
round Cotton was always on the defen-
sive and seemed to have no show at all.
1t was lucky for him that the bout had
been previously limited to four rounds,
for another would have laid him out.
At the conclusion of this President
Brink proposed three cheers for the

NO MORE FIGHT PERMITS.
Public Indignation Has It's Effect
Upon the Super
Vi9OrS.

1t is likely that no more boxing contests
will be had in this City for some time 10
come. The effect of the aroused public
sentiment over the manner in which Fitz-
simmons was robbed has not failed to
make itself felt on the Supervisors.
1.-THE matter has not yet been dis
cussed," said Supervisor Dimond last
night, ''excep privately, by the various
members of the board. For essential
reasons the last meeting of the License
and Order Committee was very brief and
the matter failed to come up.
my private opinion is that the public
feeling in the matter has not failed of
effect, and that this board will not grant
any more permits for boxing contests In
this City and County.
"Only one permit is now out-that for
