nRAS SERAII" "

At the meeting of the ball tossers last
Tuesday evening there was a league
formed which will be known as the
Angel City Baseball league. and will be
comprised of the following clubs:
Tufts-Lyons. Francis Wilson's and Los
Angeles. There was committee ap
pointed to as evenly divide the players
as possible. giving each of the teams
some of the professional players now in
the city. The players were assigned as
follows: Tufts-Lyons, Harvey, Henry,
Decker. Sandy, Cummings, Whitehead
Farrell, Furgeson Tucker, Condo and
Marmona; Francis Wilson's. Knell,
Whaling. Guercio. Hanlon, e. Moore.
Franck. J. Moore, Wilson, Sepulveda and
Eager: Los Angeles, Tyler. Lohman
Allen L. Kaymer Smith, Farley, Krebs.
Thomas, Chapman, Bentley and Van
Horn. The managers may trade one or
more players, but the above is as near
a correct list as it is possible to get at
present.

TILE HORSE

Some Of the most prominent horses
ever quartered at the Agricultural park
race track are the following:
Agitato, holder of the worlds 3-year-
old pacing record, 2:0SH; Ottinger, the
fastest double-gaited horse now racing,
pacing record, 2:14; trotting record,
2:09A Mckinney, once the holder Of the
worlds 4-year-old stallion record. 2:l1;
Astor, 2:141a; Challenger Chief, 2:14la;
Roam Wilkes, 2:12, and Native State,
2:141a. This is the best lot of home
horses ever at one time on the Los An
geles race track.
Mr.. Ryan has three fine-looking thor
training soon.
The trotting and pacing colts by Nc
Kinney are showing that they are about
as game and speedy as the old horse
himself and the proof Of this is that ev-
cry man who has a trotter at the track
has Mckinney colt. or. il he has not, he
wishes he had one.

The special meeting of the Pacific
Kennel club held at the Occidental ho-
tel San Francisco, Friday evening to
determine whether the club should dis
band or continue and hold bench show
next year brought out twelve members.
The treasurers report showed about
$3.50 in the treasury ard amounts due the
club from members of about Sl55 more.
1t was voted to donate to James f.. Wat
son $100 in consideration of his past
efforts in behalf of the club. When it
comes to the question of disbanding it
was very evident that none of the mem
bers present thought it advisable, but
on motion it was decided to lay the
question over until the next regular
meeting when it is thought a much
larger representation will be present
to vote upon the question and elect a
bench show committee.

OTHER GAMES.

The Spauldings again defeated the
Ninth-streets by score of Z to g. The
battery for the Ninth-streets was Sim
ons and Nash and for the Sp~uldings
Scott and McGilvray. The Spauldings
will play any club in the city under Is
years of age.
The Horseshoes and Acmes crossed
bats at the race track yesterday after
noon, the Horseshoes winning by
score of 13 to 10. Sherwood and Upton
was the Horseshoe battery, and Whaling
and Niederer was the opposing battery.
Wetherholt's playing on second base
for the Horseshoes was feature of the
game.

The Iowa football team on reaching
Butte, Mont, decided to cancel all its
Pacific coast engagements and returned
home. This was something of disap-
pointment to many local lovers of the
sport, as an exceptionally rare carnival
Of football had been arranged for the
holidays. AS soon as it was learned that
the Iowa team had cut it's western en-
gagements, the Athletic club set about to
fill their place, with the result that the
Berkeley team has agreed to come down
to Los Angeles during the holidays and
will play two games here. The first
will take place Christmas day. when the
Athletic club team will make a stand
against the Berkeley eleven, and on New
Years day the Whittier team will play
Berkeley at Athletic park. The Whit
tier team is now considered one of the
strongest on the coast and it is though,
that they will give Berkeley hard rub
in the New Years game. The Athletic
club will make still further effort to
strengthen it's team and will now prac-
tice constantly for the holiday games,
when it is safe to say that Los Angeles
will be treated to some of the best eXhi-
bitions of football playing ever seen
here.
The San Diego football team will meet
the Athletic eleven at Athletic park next
Saturday. The San Diegos are strong
team and play an excellent game. Thus
far they have beaten every team that
has been pitted against them, and hold
the championship of San Diego county.
The Santa Monica team will meet the
L. S. c. men at the University campus
sometime during this week.
A telegram was received Saturday
evening by Walter McStay from Col.
Ewing, manager of the Reliance team of
Oakland, stating that they will be una
Bile to play Berkeley here during the
holidays.
Paul Boteler. manager of the Whittier
state school football team, writes The
Herald as follows: in view of our
last defeat of the L. A. A. c. football
team, we feel that we are justified in lay
ing claim to the championship of South
ern California, and my object in writing
is to ask that you please announce this
claim. together with statement that
we are ready and willing to meet any and
all aspirants for championship honors
Throop preferred. We feel that the
course of this team in the matter of
playing us has been, to say the least,
very unjust. We are more inclined,
however. to sympathize with rather than
to blame team saddled with profess
sional such as the man Goodaie, to whom
we lay the entire blame, on account of
simila: tactics pursued last year by Oc-
cidental team when he was at its head.
Arrangements were completed Friday
night for a 15-round go between Burns
and Gallagher on January 5th at the
Athletic club. The perliminaries are
not yet arranged. Both Burns and Gal
lagher have been in training for the past
two weeks and a capital contest is an

THE WHEEL.

Arrangements for tne New Years
meet at Pasadena were. discussed at the
meeting last week of the Crown City
Cycling club. The meeting will be
made the greatest in the history of the
club There will be professional mile
and mile and a half races for prizes to
the value of $125; mile open. mile novice,
mile amateur handicap, two foot races,
bicycle race for boys under ~ and a race
on the ordinary wheel There will be
either a football or baseball game. The
wheelmen and wheelwomen will wear
badges and the w. r. c. will give a
dinner to the cycers during the day.
The events will probably be referred by

ly this year the one at Pasadena seems
to be the only one now available should
scme of the Eastern riders come to
this state for record breaking pur-
poses this winter and want to go south,
thinks the Call. The San Bernardino
track was only partly built, and wet
ground was used, so only one meet was
ever held on it. Santa Ana, which was
q splendid track, has gone back to the
owners of the land. The railroads track
at Santa Monica is blacklisted for al
lowing Sunday racing. The Riverside
track, which is fair for competition
though kite-shaped, is also washed out
at present from last months rains The
Redlands track is fair for competition.
but there is no club there and only a
few wheelmen, so no meets have been
held on 1t this year. 1t will probably
be kept up, however. The Pasadena
track is almost like the one at Ell Paso
and very fast. The members of the
Crown City Cycling club there are pre-
pairing for a big meet on it on New
Years day. There are great many
fast riders in the south, among whom
may be noted Hill, Delay, Cote, Rowan,
Woodville. Haver, Campbell. Rodriguez,
Lacey, Mus,sy, Casenave, Leadbetter,
Ruess. Cromwell. Dickerson. Bel, Tomp-

The controversy over the suspension

Velodrome has not yet been settled
writes r. II. Smyth of the Examiner.
The Bay City wheelmen of which Ter
rill is member, have taken sides with
him and it seems likely the affair will be
ventilated to a degree not originally ex-
pected. Some of the other racing men
of the club have withheld their entries
from today's events, for just what pur-
pose is not apparent, unless 1t be to in
timidate the directors. This attitude
is not a creditable one, as were it not

would be without opportunity to race
