SPORT AFIELD

1t is now lawful to hunt quail and,
duck in this state. The open season be-
gan Friday and that day witnessed an
exodus of sportsmen from the city,
Some went for a day, some for a few
days and some for as long as their bus
iraess would permit, but nearly every one
who could possibly get away started in
one direction or another, either in search
OF the shy quail or donned hip boots and
hied themselves to the marshes in search
of ducks. If the purchases Of ammuni-
tion at the gun stores is any indication
Of the amount Of hunting done. the in.
auguration of the open season this year
broke the record. Many of the hunters
left the city several days before the pro-
lection Of the law was removed from
the game so as to be on the ground at
break Of day on the 1st inst. Others wait
ed and made only one day trips into the
surrounding country, but the going
seemed to be general and the result of
that going was the return to the city of

If the plans which are now being ar
ranged are successful the baseball fans
of Los Angeles will have an opportunity
to indulge in the sport to their hearts
content this fall. E. D. Howard is try
ing to arrange for a baseball series
here, to be known as the merchants
tournament, and there is every prospect
of his being successful. His plan is to
have series of games between the three
leading clubs of the city and seven teams
from other cities in this part of the state,
the games to be played in Fiesta park
during the fall and winter. The winner
Of the series is to receive 5000 cash, in
addition to the, regular percentage of
the gate receipts. Mr.. Howard has been
in communication with the managers of
a number of out-of-town clubs, and sew
eral of them have signified their willing
ness to join in such series. The names
of the clubs have not been announced
as yet. All Of the local clubs will par

been secured until April. If the ar
rangements can be made, the first game
will be played there next Sunday

REMARKABLE BLIND COUPLE.

A correspondent of the Globe-D Demo
crat, writing from Kokomo, Indiana,
under date of May 7, says: Mr.. and
Mrs. William Brinkman, who have
been sightless since 5 years of age,
keep house by themselves and there is
no more neat and tidy home in South
Kokomo. Mr.. Brinkman is mechan-
ical wonder, and his wife is an accom-,
plished elocutionist, having travelled
number of seasons and was platform
favorite. Mr.. Brinkman is an expert
piano tuner and clock repairer. Last
week the county commissioners en-
ployed him to repair the big clock on
the courthouse tower that had baffled
the skill of a number of experts with
good eyes, and after few days. work
had it in 6rstclass condition. The
clocks place in the tower is l5S feet
above. ground. The commissioners
were so we'll pleased with the blind
mans success that they have employed
him by the year to keep the clock in
repair. He is a sprinter, and has a
record Of walking 81 blocks in 19
minutes, on a crowded street, with no
assistance except his cane. He also
rides a bicycle skillfully, though he
does not 60 long distances unless an
other wheelman is by his side or in
front of him. Mrs. BriDkman is an
accomplished equestrienne, and before
suffering q paralytic stroke delighted
in riding spirited horse, accompanied
by an escort. Their marriage five
years ago was the result of an attach
ment formed IA years ago, when they
met at the state institute for the blind,
of which both are graduates. 1t was,
as they say, a case of ''love at first
sight," Three years ago Mrs. Brink
man was stricken with total paralysis
of the limbs, and since then has been
entirely helpless, unable to move hand
or foot. The blind husband has the
sole care of his blind, helpless wife.
This he does in addition TO keeping
house, responding to calls for piano
tuning, clock mending and attending
to confection and stationery store in
the front of his house. All this he
does without assistance. He refuses
aid, and declines all offers of help from
relatives. While hundreds of able
bodied men have depended on the
county for support, this plucky blind
man has supported himself and his
blind, helpless wife without aid from
any source.

INFORMATION ABOUT GREECE.
1t has q population Of 2,l87 ,2O8.

1t has q populatlon' OF Z,lo| ,Zoo.
1t is called "Hellas" by its people.
The mean temperature of Greece is
Ga degrees Fahrenheit.
No part of Greece is 40 miles from
the sea or 10 from the hills.
About one.half of the population
are agriculturists and shepherds.
1t has an area of 24,977 square
miles.
It is the only country in the world
whose armies are provided with Gras
guns and paper covered cartridges.
The Greek flag is white cross ON
blue ground-the Bavarian colors and
the Greek cross.
1t has few rivers and many hills.
None of the former are navigable,
and many of the latter are fortified.
Its present boundary limits were de-
termined by an arrangement among
Great. Britain, France, Russia and
Turkey, concluded at Constantinople
on July 81, 1882.
Only about 10000 of the inhabitants
speak any language other than Greek,
and only about 10000 profess any re-
ligion other than the orthodox.
The chief characteristic of the aver
age Greek are his inquisitiveness, fond
ness for excitement, love of discus
sion, desire for knowledge, an aptitude
for learning, and aggressive patriotism.
The climate has two striking pecu-
liarities; the heat in summer and the
cold in winter are far more intense
than those of any other country in the
world lying in the same latitude. Cell
once remarked that in travelling
through the Morea in March he found
summer in Messenia, spring in La
coma, and winter in Arcadia, without
having moved beyond radius of 30
