It is to be hoped that the Tufts-Lyons
Arms company's base ball team will be
given a fair deal in the unfortunate
sQuabble that has spoilt the reputation
OF the Examiners basebalF champion
ship. No one can believe but that the
charges against members of the team
will be impartially and properly inves-
tigated. The playing of the Los Angeles
boys here was incomparably better than
that Of any other team, and the young
gentlemen" who composed the Alerts'
team did not gain very enviable repu-
tation for their conduct during the
games.
The racing circuit in the south, an in
novation with the racing board, is des-
tined to prove great success. In ex-
tending the circuit to this section of the
country the racing board was RESPONSE
BILE for inaugurating plan whereby the
League of American Wheelmen will di-
rectly benefit. 1t must be known that
wherever the circuit goes there may l..
A. w. members be found, and the league
has need of recruits. The racing men
are also directly benefited. They can
now race throughout the entire season of
the year. When the circuit concludes in
Texas they can HE themselves to the
sunny land Of California and compete
for rich purses till the snow and ice in
the eastern states disappears and cycl-
ing reigns once more.
The bronze bar night at the Los An
geles Athletic club last Thursday even
ing brought out a good attendance of
members and their lady friends. The
hop, step and jump, novice and open,
and pole vault, novice and open, were
closely contested and the entries well
filled. The hop, step and jump, novice,
contained nine contestants, viz: F. D.
Sanborn, H. L. Hough, j. D. Cochran,
Otto Cornar, Will Bennett, F. McHenry,
M. Lazard, Will Risden and J. A. Murri-
eta, the event being won by the latter
with 81 feet inches to his credit. c. F.
Foote won the open with 81 feet 10 inch
es. The pole vault, novice. was won by
F. D. Sanborn at feet inches, and
Louis Breer, jr., cleared the bar at
feet inches in the open, thus winning
that event. Messrs. Scott and Foote, in
connection with the class, performed
some very graceful acts in circus leap
" ing and on the parallel bars, and very
clever wrestling exhibition between
Whistler. jr., and Frank Sentous proved
quite exciting.
Following is a list Of the events for
the twelfth annual field day of the Los
Angeles Athletic club to be held at Ath
1etic park Thanksgiving day, November
26: One hundred yard dash, novice; 100
yard dash, handicap; 120 yard hurdle,
220 yard dash, 44O yard dash, novice;
high jump, hop, step and jump, pole
vault, throwing sixteen-pound hammer,
one mile bicycle, novice; one mile bicy-
Gle, open; one mile bicycle, 2:30 class.
These events are open to all recognized
amateurs and will be run under the rules
Of the A. A. U. and L. A. w. Entries close
Saturday evening, November 21. En-
trance fee for each event SO cents. Any
information in regard to the meet can
be had on application to Walter McStay,
financial secretary of the club. A large
number of entries from outside colleges
and athletic associations have already
been assured and the prospect for fine
days sport could not be better.

THE RING.


The much -talked-of wrestling match
between ]. A. Burns of Chicago and C.
Fl. Gridley of this CITY, which was to
have taken place last Monday evening,
will probably come off about the 9th
Of next month. Burns was suddenly
called to Visalia, hence the postpone
ment, but both men have kept UP their
training and will be in condition to
put up the contest of their lives. Sew
eral boxing preliminaries are being ar
ranged for the same evening, which will
! make very interesting entertainment.
The Corbett-Sharkey contest, over,
which so much valuab BILE space has been
wasted, is about as far Off as ever, says
the Chronicle. 1t is quite a task to
watch two ordinary pugilists, even when
they are in the same town, let alone in
different places 5000 miles away from
the seat of war. If Sharkey is correct
ly quoted by the Philadelphia papers,
he will not engage in limited round
contest for $4,000. 1t is a pity that
Manager Groom did not know this a
week ago, as he might have saved
enough in telegraphic tolls to have paid
for contest between two small-fry
pugilists. If three or four men really
meant business, the worlds champion-
ship could be decided in three months.
With Peter Jackson retired, the only
pugilists to be considered are Corbett.

Choynsk. Six months since Corbett

BASEBALL.

Yesterdays games were well attended
and decidedly the most exciting that
have been played on the grounds for
some time. The first game was walk
over for the Trilbys. as they defeated
the Admirals by a score of to l. The
Admirals had Boynton and Leland of
the Pasadena team on the club, but even
with their assistance they were unable
to win. The Admirals lost through their
inability to hit Shaw. Swan was the
only man that could touch him. A phe-
nomenal stop by Sandy, the battery
work of Shaw and Carroll and the play
ing of Leland at first, were worthy of
mention, as was the terrific batting of
Gardner and Majors. MARI also played
brilliant game at short. The score fol-

fitting conclusion. Friday and Sat
