SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. SHINE
husky young men from the south played
ball in the presence of $1,000 people to-
day, and won the amateur championship
of the Pacific coast 1t was the final
game of the tournament which has been
in progress all summer, and today the
Los Angeles Tufts-Lyons and the Ne
vada Stars met to decide which should
carry off the pennant. The Los Ange-
les boys won the game by the lop-sided
score of IA to 8, and several hundred
"rooters" from the southern part of the
state become delirious with joy. The
youngsters from the Sagebrush state
played good ball for few innings, but
they were plainly not in the same class
with the California boys. They became
badly ratified, and the style of ball put
up by them was yellow enough to make
silver state blush with shame. The
crowd was a most enthusiastic one, and
every play on either side was greeted
with bowls of delight or derision. The
Tufts-Lyons played like veterans and
never lost their heads for a minute.
The game commenced with the Stars
at bat, and Merkle got to first on an
error. He stole second, but remained
there, as the three following batters
struck out The Nevada players could
not do much with Rivieras pitching,
and sixteen of them famed the empty
air during the game. Neither side scored
until the third inning, when Moore the
Neveda third baseman, lifted the ball
over right field fence for home run.

yell, and the atmosphere quivered with
the noise. In their half of the same
inning the Tufts-Lyons found the ball,
and by combination of hits and errors
scored two runs. Nevada was shut out
in the fourth and Los Angeles scraped
UP one more run. In the fifth the crowd
went wild again when Moore, the only
Nevadan who wore batting clothes,
cracked out two-bagger and brought
in two men, tieing the score. Then Los
Angeles raked in another run, putting
them one ahead at the end of the fifth
inning. In the sixth Nevada went out in
one, two three order, and then came the
slaughter. The Tufts-Lyons came to bat
and commenced to hit the ball. The hits
were not safe ones, but the Silverites
seemed to have lost their eyesight and
to have creased their fingers They
could not stop anything, and before
they came out of their comatose condi
ton six more runs had been marked up
to the credit Of the lucky boys from the
south The next three innings were
blanks for Nevada, while Los Angeles
rubbed it in by making four more runs.
When the last man was put out the
crowd surged' into the field and sur
rounded the victors, while the Nevada
boys walked away disconsolately, ac-
companied by few sympathizing
friends. Following is the score:

TRAP AND TRIGGER

Far over Californian realm,
Far down the sutry Mexico coast,
The valley quail O. er mount and vale
Assemblies shy. countless host.
Though haunting the sea-level line,
1t finds a home on upland space,
Happy in torrid, shadeless glare;
Happy in cool, secluded place.
Whose arbors of wild rose and grape,
The sycamore with festoons drape.
Alike to him the settlers glebe,
Or lofty hilltop far away,
Whether he feeds on strawberry feast,
Forever sleek and cheerful where
The scantiest heritage spreads its fare
Forever busy is the quail,
Neer sits With M raed E pumes
But ever is alert in flight;
Its plumage rich. and sweet the note
That, various, bubbles from it's throat
Its bevies over acres spread.
Ger .stubble field, or sun-dred grass.
Out of the cactus patch they spring.
From sumac clump or rocky pass;
And in each canon dim we hear,
At morn at eve, the changing strife
or fluttering wings. and see the air
FIJI with blue lines of feather'd life.
Step cautious, gunner--for their spring.
As forth they burst on whirring wing.
VIII cheat thee-for in white sage brush
Wreath d with the garlands of the pea,
They hidden leland forth will whiz,
With whisting chirpings as they flee;
Or, happy where grow peoples red.
Or wild buckwheat with fiowretS spread
They lurk-then quick on buzzng wing
The battling darlings upward spring!
IT'S a fair scene that charms the eye
The earth ablaze with blooms unknown
Skies purer than all foreign skies.
Bird songs of unfamiliar tone,
Views of green slopes that roll serene,
Long undulations, blue and green,
Until they end in far-off hills,
Whose peaks the mind with wonder fills

flew against the buildings and were
either badly crippled or killed. A large
cock bird flew through an open window
in the rear of the Finnegan block, Oh
Hennepin avenue, and alighted on a bed
in the room. The bird was secured by
the Boston Fish company and put into
cage. 1t was a fine specimen and at
tracted a great deal of attention after
it was placed on exhibition. The owner
of the bird, Mr.. N. j. Stemper, received
several very f1attering offers for his
trophy from persons who were anxious
to try and domesticate him. 1t is not
often that pinnated grouse invade city,

are on record in the western states

The Tufts-Lyons Arms company's
team should have great welcome home.
The plucky and Skillful youngsters de-
serve well of their fellow citizens, for
they have been winning fame and glory
for Los Angeles up north, and, what is of
still more account, a reputation as hon
est sportsmen. If anything can revive
the interest in the national game here
abouts it will be the example of the
Ills. When such young men follow
the game so enthusiastically and so sue
cessfully simply for love of it it should
mean a new chapter in baseball history
in Los Angeles. 1t is to be hoped that
an exhibition game will be arranged af-
ter their return, that we may have an
opportunity to witness the fine team
work and the prowess of the doughty
youngsters.
The road club is to be congratulated
on the success of its meet at Agricul-
tural park on Saturday. There were only
two races, but both were full of interest.
The mile proved a veritable walk-over
for the clubs crack rider, and there We're
such good men as Cox of Riverside in
the field, too. The twenty-five mile road
race was captured by that plucky team
of young riders from Pasadena Hill and
Coty, the former only II years of age,
winning both first time and place prizes.
He is certainly the most promising of
the young riders, and showed excellent
judgment, that would have done credit
to an older head, on Saturday.
BY the way what was really the time
of that twenty-five mile race? The official
time given Immediately after the race
was l hour minutes Al seconds. A cy
cling authority in the Times gives 1 hour
8 minutes So 20 seconds. Yet a third
authority, who, as rule, has very
dependable me-piece, made it out
hour 10 minutes.
Arrangements have been about COM
pleted for matching Harry Slater of New
Orleans and Billy Gallagher of Los An
geles for a fifteen-round exhibition on
Thanksgiving night. Both men stand
we'll up in the welterweight class, and
will no doubt make as interesting a per-
Torrance as the. Dempsey Berkhardt
match of last month. Slattery was the
man who disposed so easily of young Sui
Ivan of Arizona the other day.

will be commenced in the club engage
ment next Tuesday evening. All entries
must be in by Monday night

AN oBsTREPERoUs BEGGAR.
Being Refused Aims, He Attacks Pc
destrian and Is Run In.

Dan McIntire, a husky hobo, too tired
to work for a living, approached a pc
destrian on Third street near Main last
evening, and asked for the price of a
nights lodging. He did not get the
money and became abusive, finally
striking the man who had refused to
donate. A fight ensued, which was
stopped by Officer Sheets, who arrested
the beggar.
The patrol wagon was telephoned for.
but just as it drove up and Dan realized
that he was booked for Jail. he made
break for liberty and dashed off down
Mott alley. Sheets went after him, and
after hot footrace floored the fleet
footed McIntire by throwing his club
beteween his legs. Then the handcuffs
were put on, and McIntire took his ride
in the hurry-up wagon, being landed
in Jail on a charge of disturbing the
peace.

THE WHEEL.

There is no limit to age, apparently,
where bicycle riding is concerned. Ma
ny people 20 and so years of age are seen
in many cities wheeling about for recre-
alton, and but little comment is made.
Bicycle riding is much easier than walk
ing. Not only can a wheelman cover
much more ground, but the exertion is
considerably less. There is a man 1903
years of age who rides and lives in Bel
videre, N. j., and he is hale and hearty.
1t is a remarkable incident, and prob
ably has no parallel, but the fact is
plain enough that age has little to do
with the art of cycle riding.
A recent sale of Cheap" bicycles in
a large city occasioned a small sized
riot. and the police We're called in to
quiet the disturbance. The demand for
the cheap article was great. The wheel
that can sell for 1925 is cheap. There are
cheap grade articles in every line of
business, but in that same business a
high grade article commands it's atten-
ton. 1t is so in the bicycle trade. A
wheel that is sold for a fair price; a
wheel that is guaranteed fully, is worth
any riders money. but when he puts
the price into it he realizes that he has
something for his money.

conducive to health unless the rider
talaes extra precautions to keep the
body warm Wheelmen who ride in me-
dunn underclothing run great risk in
lingering in the cool breezes. Heavy
sweaters will not avail when the body
is in state of perspiration and the
clothing wet through. Hot drinks cam
not prevent the germs of disease from
closing their tenacious grip on some
vital organ. Wheelmen should not jeop-
ardize their strength and health by rid
ing hard in the cold and then lettering

has reached its normal state.
Here is an extract from a paper read
by DIR. f. b. Turner, II. r. c.. s.. before
the Sanitary Institute congress at New
castle on Tyne:
The saddle is very important part
of the cycling outfit. and if badly de-
signed and badly adjusted, may make
all of the difference between pleasure
and pain in riding The saddle for a
woman must be sufficiently broad at the
back so that she can sit on it fairly and
squarely, and it should be mounted on
springs adapted to her weight. A 112-
pound woman on a 1S2-pOund saddle is
a miserable object Every saddle
should be adjusted to suit the person
who has to ride on it. No two persons
ever quite ike the same position, ana
this is the secret cause of so many COM

Emil Ulbrcht is in San Francisco, but
will not be able to race there, says the
Examiner, as he has been permanently
suspended from the track. He, with
other prominent riders in Southern Cali
fornia, was identified with the Sunday
racing al Santa Monica and elsewhere,
thus mourning the displeasure of the
national racing board.

LOCAL GAMES YESTERDAY.

LOO<A1 0AhI<o ED LItDA
The games at Athletic park yesterday
attracted the largest crowd of the season.
The game in San Francisco was received
by innings, and that brought out quite
number of the friends of the Tufts
Lyons club. The local games were
both won by the Trilbys. The first game
they beat the Admirals, s to 6. The
fielding Of Early, Sandy and Perkins and
the hitting of Shaw were the features.
Shaw, as usual, pitched an elegant
game, allowing the hard-hitting Admi-
rails but four hits. Perkins made phe-
nomenal one-hand catch and quick throw
to first, completing one of the prettiest
double plays ever made on the grounds.
Thomas started in to pitch for the Ad-
mirals, but was hit hard and was very
wild; Tyler pitched the latter part of the
game and did we'll. Knox, the catcher,
got his hand badly split in the sixth inn
ing and had to retire. The score follows:

The second game was the best played
game of the year. 1t is not often that the
lovers of baseball in Los Angeles have
chance to see game with the score to
0, as this one was. Anderson took his
base in the sixth inning on an error of
ed Moore's at short and Alexander
brought him in with long two-base hit.
Shaw, the iron-armed pitcher of the
Trilbys. again pitched good game, and
kept the five hits so scattered that they
did no good. Baker pitched a pheno-
menal game, but two hits We're made off
him. Wilson, Walker and Mari played
brilliantly in the infield and Anderson
made some fine catches in left field.
Whaling was about the only one of the
Francis Wilson's that could find Shaw
at all. The game. was called at the end
of the seventh inning as the Trilbys
claimed 1t was an agreement to quit at
that time, although it was plenty light
enough to continue the nine innings.

by Strict Party Vote.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The House
Committee on Foreign Affairs this af-
ternoon adopted by party vote res
olution censuring Ambassador Bayard
for his two speeches at Edinburg and

The resolution quotes the passage Of
these two speeches, which are con-

presses the sense of the House that the
utterances were improper, and that
Mr.. Bayard is deserving of censure
therefor. 1T continued that it was inn
proper for our representatives abroad
TO condemn any political party or party

such action tends to destroy their in
fuence and impair the confidence
which they should always command at
home and abroad.
