ways maintained, and do not think am
at all likely to alter this opinion. that a
man who lies over his horses neck and
grips the bride about six inches from the
bit handcaps himself terribly in fighting
out a close finish with a horseman who sits
down in his saddle and sets-to in the or
thodox fashion.
Advocates of Sloane's style will doubt
less urge that, as he occasionally beat some

method. My contention is that, had he

these heads and necks would have beer

Although the attendance at the all-day
shoot of the Los Angeles Gun club at the
grounds near Westlake park yesterday
was not large, interest in the three events
was intense. About a dozen sportsmen
were there when the shoot began. but all
of them did not take part. Others arrived
during the morning and in the afternoon
a good sized crowd witnessed the bluerock
match, which was the last of the day.
There were two open matches, sweep
stakes, at live birds, one of six and the
other of ten birds. The third event OF the
day was a 100 bluerock match for the
championship medal of Southern Califor-
MIA In addition to these there were a
number of private matches at bluerocks.
The first live bird match was that of six
birds, and in it were eight entries-Messrs.
Blades, Vaughan, Bruner and Van Valken-
burg dividing the money, each making
straight score. The returns financially to
the marksmen hardly paid for their ammu-
milton and entrance.
In the ten-bird match Vaughan killed ten
straight Bruner and Van Valkenburg
being tied for second and third money,
with nine each to their credit.
The championship match was between
A. w. Bruner, president, and Charles Van
Valkenburg, secretary, of the club. The
latter had challenged Bruner to a 10O-bird
match at bluerocks for the Bruner "Chal-
lenge Medal" representing the champion
ship of this part of the state, and side
bet of $50 each. Nearly two hours were re-
quired to decide this match and there was
some lively betting among the members
on the result. Both men broke sixteen
birds without miss, when both missed
The shooting continued with long runs of
straight birds, and at the end of the match
Bruner had missed only ten, while Van
Valkenburg had fourteen goose eggs on his
tally sheet, making the score 80 to &c. The
balance of the day was consumed in small
pool shoots in which nearly all the mem
bers of the club participated.

Some Bon Mots of Wits

When Brummell made his midnight fit

Lord Alvaney remarked complacently:
"Brummell has done quite right to be off +;
it was Solomon's Judgment" Alvanley
gave many proofs of generosity to ac-
quaintances in distress. One of those he
had assisted was the well-known Jack
Talbot, a reckless prodigal, who had re.
peatedly borrowed Of him. When Talbot
was beggared and lying on his deathbed,
Alvanley met his doctor and inquired
about the invalid. The answer was: my
lord, I fear he is in bad way I had to
use the lancet "You should have tapped
him, DOCTOR" said Alvanley. coolly. 81

More excusable was Alvanleys expostula-
tion when he had been persuaded to dine

host, with the vulgarity of nouveau richie,

tions of the apartment, and, in the words

BASEBALL

At Fiesta park yesterday the game OF
baseball between the Los Angeles club and
the Francis Wilson's was won by the Los
Angeles by the score of 10 to s. Harvey
and Mangerina were the battery for the
Francis Wilson's and Tyler and Adams
were in the points for Los Angeles. Har-
vey was very effective, although his wild
ness, coupled with costly errors, lost him
the game.
This was the third game between these
teams, each team having previously won
one game. Harvey struck out thirteen
men, but sent nine to bases on balls, and
the most of them scored on errors or base
hits. Los Angeles only made five base
hits off his delivery, Held and Carmona
being the only ones that could hit him.
Held making home run with two men on
bases, and Carmona making a three-base
drive. Held also fielded his position in
good style, catching four difficult fly balls.
Courtney, Wilson and Carmona also made
a pretty double play when the bases were
full and only one man out. Francks and
Mangerina did the star playing for the
Francis Wilson's.
This was the las game to be played at
Fiesta park, as the grounds are to be
converted into an ostrich farm.
The managers will probably secure the
old Athletic park grounds to play the
games in future, although the players do
not care whether they play any more or
not, as the games have been so poorly pat
ronized of late. Several of the local players
will leave this week for the north to play in
the new California league, and some of
them will go east.
