BASE BALL POORLY PLAYED
Los Angeles Defeats Phoenix in
 Second of Series.

Judging from yesterdays exhibition of baseball, consistency is a gem of which the Los Angeles team has no knowledge and with which the Phoenix nine has even a less intimate acquaint- ance. Both played like schoolboys, a pardOnable condition were they not equal to better work, but a most mex cusable matter when they were both capable of a far better showing and a Very unfortunate occurrence just at this time when local pride and enthusi- asm is at the rising point in the prom ise of a first class ball team. In We'd nesday's game both teams played most excellent ball, but yesterday they seemed to have forgotten overnight all the fine points of the art. From the standpoint of the small boy the Phoc- nix nine played mighty rotten ball." and the only alleviating circumstance lies in the fact that the work of the visitors was but little less odoriferous.
 Los Angeles won by score of 20 to F and did it by superior stick work and better organization. Phoenix lost through carelessness, lack of team work and a misplacing of men.
 Collins pitched for the home team,
 
 be said that he was far from his usual foIm- Indeed so distant was he from any license to occupy a place at the slab that the Californians subjected him to a hammaring that came near 90 ending only at sundown. Collins started well but lost control of himself and the ball, and the game was not long in doubt. But Collins was not altogether to blame. Hartwell, with all his great ness in front of the bat, was a total failure on second base. Balmer. at third base, was another of the principal actors in the comedy of errors and there was not man on the home team who played the game of which he was capable even Voorhees,, probably the most reliable man on the team. was u0t free from implication in several plays of questionable adVisahility.
 It was a slugging exhibition and other pitchers besides Collins Were bat ted all over the eastern part of the city. Smiley, for Los Angeles, was touched for a generously large bunch of hits and Cisney, who was put in Coi- lins' place. late in the game, was un- able to get many balls past the batters.
 Phoenix started well and had two to her credit in the first inning, with a blank for the visitors. In the second she worried in two more and Los An geles retaliated with a trio of runs. Neither scored in the third, and Los Angeles tied it in the next inning. In the fifth the crash came, the Phoenix team went up in the air and the Los Angeles men raced around the bases until a large part of the audience packed its disgust and silently stole away. Ten more runs Were added to the score before the coast men became wearied of batting and base-running, and retired long enough to hand an- other goose-egg to the home team. Then the slaughter recommended and five more runs were added to the long

Smiley gathered in a pop-up from the bat of Wormell, who had talk en Cisney's place in left field; Bettler drove a pretty one out to center field and reached first base; Hart rapped another, which Moore could not hold: Cisney put the ball through Smiley's hands, and then VOrhees was struck by ball and went to first, Better cOm- ing in.

has already begun experiments and in quires in this line in the island terri tories of the United States, adds great ly to the interest in this question and to the possibility that the $50, 100000 year which we are now sending out of the country for this product may be expended under the American flag and among American producers. The Iact that Southern Mexico and Central Am erica are natural producers of india rubber in considerable and increasing quantities, and that large quantities are produced in, and exported from the islands and mainland immediately ad- jacent to the Philippines suggests great possibilities in this line both in Cuba, Porto Rico, and in the Hawaiian and Philippine islands.
 India rubber is not, as is generally supposed. the product of a single tree, but, on the contrary is produced from a variety of trees and plants. Some of these flourish only in a moist soil and atmosphere, while others thrive on stony soil, provided they receive ample though intermittent rainfall; though in all cases a tropical or sub-tropical climate is requisite. Most of the india rubber of South and Central America and India is from trees. but in the is lands of the Indian archipelago the supply of rubber is chiefly from a Si- gantic creeper. which in five years growth attainS a length of 200 feet and from twenty to thirty inches in circum- ference. and which yields annually from fifty to sixty pounds of caOutch- QUO. Java Sumatra, Penang. Singd- pore, and French Indo China are a. ready large producers of crude india rubber or Ca0utchouc, and it's pr0duc- tion in the West Indies has been suf- ficient to indicate the entire practica- bility of its being an important indus try in Cuba and Porto Rico, as well as in the Hawaiian, Philippine and Sa- moan islands.
