THE RING.

The following extract from letter
was received recently by Professor Wat
son Of the Olympic club, San Francisco,
from 3. John Angle, who is referee of
the London National Sporting club:
1t is my ambition to see how boxing
contests are managed in the country of
your adoption, as / am not so stUpidly
conservative as to imagine that we (the
old country )are without blemish. La
vigne and Solly Smith treated our cham
pions in very unceremonious fashion, but
in justice to Burge l must claim that he
never ought to box at the weight. Willy
Smith was stale, and in nothing like the
form shown by him when meeting good
men and conceding lot of weight. Do
not think that 1 wish to detract in the
least from the victory gained by our
visitors. They are both stirring boxers,
hitting hard with both hands and thor
oughly game. AS you have learned
through the Sportsman, Corbett will not
be permitted to box before the National
Sportin gclub, his utterances which ap-
peared in American papers concerning
the management of the club very natu-
rally causing great Indignation among
the members. l dunot believe him to be
responsible for these statements, as lie
was courtesy itself when over here, and
as professional boxer would naturally
be very careful of his reputation.
Ned DOnnelly Is thriving. His wonder
full system of tuition will unfortunately
die with him unless you ultimately elect
to return home.

THE SHOPLIFTERS
They Are Preparing for the Holiday
Harvest-Two of Them Caught

AS the rush of the holiday season ap-
proaches the larger storekeepers are be-
ing greatly annoyed by shoplifters, and
the closest watch has to be maintained
to prevent serious losses. A gang of four
experts in this line is known to be ir
the city, and the police are keeping a
sharp lookout for them. In one of the
large Spring street stores on Saturday
two women were detected in secreting
goods. One of them had $45 wrap under
her shawl, and the other had also con :
cealed wrap worth 25. The women
We're taken to the rear Of the store and
a message was sent for the patrol wagon.
The fear of arrest had such an effect
upon the culprits that the proprietor re-
Tented and they were told to go and
sin no more. From the actions of the
two women it is not believed that they
belong to the professional gang. 1t is
the belief of the police that they are res
idents of Los Angeles, and are known
to the merchant who allowed them to
SO to save them from disgrace.

BASEBALL.

The game yesterday attracted a fair
crowd and was one of the best played
games of the year. The contesting teams
were the newly organized Tufts-Lyons
and the Francis Wilson's. The score was
g tie, 3 to 3, in ten innings, when the UNI
pire declared it too dark to continue
play. The game was really battle of
the pitchers, with the honors about
even. Cummings and Farrow of the
Tufts, although credited with errors.
made some nice plays. Sandy also had
a couple of errors but was fortunate
enough to make the lucky hit in the
ninth that tied the score. Both Whaling
and Henry caught beautifully, but the
features of the fielding were Francks
work al short and Decker's playing on
first. The Tufts-Lyon team was cred
tied with no less than four double plays,
all of which were of the gilt-edge order.
The hitting was done by Wilson and
Decker.
The Wilson's started out by making a
run in the first on Ed Moore's hit and Il
bad throw by Sandy. They made two
more in the fourth on a couple of fiTS
and as many errors, but these were their
last. The Tufts-Lyon boys scored their
first run in the fourth on Decker's
double, base on balls and Taylors hit.
Their second run was scored in the sew
enth, when Riviera succeeded in cross
ing the rubber. With the score to 2
against them, they went in in the ninth
to win or die. Tyler, first man up, struck
out. Henry hit for two bases. Riviera
flew out to Wilson, but Sandy saved the
game by hitting to short right Both
Wilson and Held ran for it and ran to-
gether the result being Shat Henry
came in with the tieing run. Another
inning was played, when Umpire Kay
mer called 1T, on account of darkness.
The umpire's decisions were at times
very rank and caused considerable talk
and ill-feelng. 1t looks as though it
would be possible, with as many ball
tossers in town as there now are, to get
competent umpire. A good many peo-
pie in the audience went to the grounds
expecting to see Milt Whitehead play.
He was taken sick during preliminary
practice and could not play the game.
The complete score is as follows:

CAUGHT IN THE ACT

About o'clock yesterday morning
Officer Henderson observed a young
man coming out of one of the small
stores on the south side of Second street,
between Main and Los Angeles, with a
parcel under him arm. He was prompt
ly taken in charge, as was also another
man who was lettering in the vicinity,
and the two were taken to the police
station. The package was found to
contain some shirts, suspenders and
neckties, which had evidently been taken
from the shop without the owners
knowledge and consent. The man With
the package gave the name of Jacob
Jackson, and was locked up on a charge
Of burglary The second man, who gave
the name of John Graw, was booked
ION suspicion" Yesterday morning
the owner of the store called at the sta
ton and identified the goods as his prop
erty. The two men are known to the
police They are said to live near Whit
tier, and one of them has been hanging
about the city for some days.
