UNIVERSITY AT VENTURA
Beantown Boys Defeated in Hard
Fought Football Game

The University Of California eleven
closed its season yesterday with one OF
the best played games in which it has
ever participated. The game was played
at Ventura and the opponents of the
college men were the members of the
Ventura Athletic club team. The at
tendance was light owing to a number
of other attractions. The athletic club
eleven showed the lack of practice, and
although handicapped by the greater
weight of the visitors put up strong
game. The Varsity team played per-
feet game, of which the work Of Jones
was the feature.
Ventura kicked off at 2:45 p. M, and
Walker ran the ball in fifteen yards.
Haddock carried the ball through left
tackle six yards, Jones made fifteen
around the left end Walker four through
left tackle, Jones went through right
tackle for seven yards and then circled
the end for twenty yards and touch
down. Wright kicked neat goal.
Score: U. S. c., 6; Ventura, 0.
Henry kicked off for thirty yards and
Jones ran it in twenty. A series of good
plays by Walker, Jones and Haddock
aided by the splendid interference of
the line and ends carried the ball dan
gerously near the Ventura goal, but the
Ventura boys rallied and securing the
ball pushed their opponents back nearly
to the center of the gridiron. Varsity
took the ball on downs and at the end
of fifteen minutes from the first touch
down Bob Jones made an eighteen yard
run for a touchdown. Wright missed
the goal. Score, 10 to 0 in favor of U. S. c.
Conoway kicked off thirty-five yards,
and the college men carried the ball to
Ventura's five-yard line as the whistle
blew for the end of the half Walker
kicked off for U. S. c. in the second half
and made twenty-five yards. This half
was stubbornly contested by both sides
and no addition was made to the score.
The Ventura team at one time threat
ened the U. S. C. goal but soon were
forced back and the half ended with the
ball on the Ventura siX-yard line in
possession of the U. S. c. team.
The teams lined up as follows:

HHR INDIAN coNTRoL
A Pretty Row on Among the Local
Spiritualists


There Is war among the Spiritualists
|of this city. a regular Indian war. The
cause of it is, as usual, woman. but
this time it is dead one, or rather the
spirit of an Indian girl from the happy
hunting grounds. She is accused of
having assumed control of her me-
dunn, and, after inducing her to appear
in public in Indian dress, has moved the
extremities of her medium in such a
genuine Indian fashion that the audi
|ence had Kissed in civilized indignation.
That is, at least, the supposed state
ment made by S. d. Dye ex-president of
the Harmonial Spiritual Society of Los
Angeles.
About a year ago several members,
mostly ladies, withdrew from the Har-
monial society, and formed the Ladies'
Independent Aid society,"" IT happened
that soon after this society engaged
Charles Anderson, 1.-The Boy Orator" as
a speaker. This youthful coiner of i'm
promptu speeches, claims that Mr.. Dye
had advised him not to fill the engage
ment, for the reason that the president
of the l.. l. A s.. Mrs. M. T. Longley, had
neither a good standing nor an admir-
able reputation; that she had appeared
on a platform in San Diego in the short
dresses of an Indian girl. and had ex-
ecuted dance of such nature that
the audience had hissed her off the stage.
The boy orator." following the in
spiration of some "tattle-tale" in the
spirit world, went at once to Mrs. Long
ley and disclosed to her the statements
made by Mr.. Dye.
The l.. 1. A. S. and their president took
lat once steps to disprove these charges.
Letters were written to John w. Mar
shall, Mrs. Ella Custer, Mrs. Christina
Fierman and Mr.. George Rogers, all
prominent Spiritualists of San Diego,
and to Mrs. Julia Schlessinger of San
Francisco. All of these persons speak
very highly of Mrs. M. T. Longley and
her control, "Letela," and condemn, in
unmistakable terms, the accusations.
Armed with these documents, a commit
tee of the L. I. A. s., consisting of Mes
danes Galbraith, Higgins, Gorham, and
Lyon, waited on Mr.. Dye and demanded
an apology. But Mr.. Dye has not yet
met the request of the ladies, and it
would not be surprising if this city
would be treated to another spiciy trial

Those in search of amusement in this

have improved upon. Added to this was
the incapacity of an umpire, who either
did not know his business or was un-
able to overcome very natural partial
ity for the home team, and who, there
fore, gave the visitors an additional
handicap. AS an exhibition of baseball,
the contest was not up to the standard
of the games that have been played here
this season; but as means of entertain
ment for the 500 people who witnessed it,
1t was a decided success. Everybody
enjoyed the god plays, and the poor ones
were sometimes so bad as to be amusing.
1t is not often, even in a purely ANA
teur game, that eighteen men are given
bases on balls, or that one catcher has
six passed balls, or that pitcher throws
so wildly four times as to net the oppos-
ing side that many runs as result.
That shows some of the poor playing. on
the other hand, q game is usually good
one in which there are four home runs,
equally divided, three-base hit, three
two-base hits and ten strike-outs.
The game was lost to the San Diego
team in the first four innings, mainly
through the work of Donlan and Fer
guson, the battery. Donlan was not
wholly to blame, for he pitches well and
throws O very close and deceptive curve
In spite of the fact that Umpire Hanlon
knew this, he stationed himself behind
the pitcher, instead of behind the bat
His judgment of balls and strikes was
very poor, and the result was that Den
Ian got the worst of it at times wher
to give a man his base on balls meant to
force in a run. 1t was not the fault of
the home team that they won the game,
as will be seen by glance at the error
column. The last five innings of the game
were as good as any lover of the sport
could desire to witness. There were
some good, close playing, long drives,
good catches and close decisions. In
decisions on bases Hanlon made an ex-
cellent umpire The score follows:

COME AND BE HEALED

The fact that other physicians have
given you up as lost, abandoned your case
as being beyond cure, or still worse, kept
you lingering in pain for weeks, months.
and possibly years, should not discourage
you in the least We are looking for just
such difficult diseases. By their cure We
have made our reputation; by having per.
formed such wonders we are better able
to cure you.
You should consult the English and Ger
man Expert Specialists and get an honest
and reliable opinion concerning your
lungs. 1t isn't hard to convince reasona-
BILE sufferers that five skillful physicians
can do more for them than any single ply
sican with only one brain and one mans
experience and intelligence. Come before
others have failed, and, thus din.snished
your chances of speedy relief. Delay and
indifference have been the causes of un-
told misery and suffering, and thousands
of graves are filled each year by victims
of this unfortunate waiting. ~

 Numerous complaints have been heard recently that the Salvation Army people were spelling the grass at the lower part of the green near the pump where the lads and lassies, with at tendant crowds, stand during their evening services. Many citizens have also complained about the noise made on Sunday evenings by the Army as it marches through the streets with beat ing of drums and blowing of horns Mayor Farnsworth yesterday summon ed to his office the commander of the local branch of the Salvation Army and informed him that it would be ad- visable hereafter for the Army to hold its outdoor meetings at some spot where there is a concrete pavement.

 and told the Salvation Army captain that the bare spot on the green was to
 be seeded over,and warned him against holding meetings on the grass on the
 green hereafter. Mayor Farnsworth
