POLICE DEFEAT FIREMEN
InnumerabIe Friends of Billy Sepul-
veda Witness Contest Which Ex-
tended Over Nine Innings

Billy Sepulveda's friends turned out
in great numbers yesterday afternoon
to witness the baseball game between
the firemen and the policemen at
Chutes park and even though the err
rors came too many for counting, they
were overlooked in the spirit which
prompted the affair, and when the
police won by a score of to 5, it was
called a good game
The features of the nine innings were
the home runs of Babe Whalen of
the peace guardians and Haven of the
fire iaddies. Whalens four-sacker was
a bounder to left field which cleared
the fence and Haven's perched in the
the right field bleachers while the left
fielder made the circuit
The Firemen made four in the first
on a tWo-SaCker, a pair of singles and
Haven's home run. Two singles and
innumbera BILE errors gave the blue coats
one in the second, and the third saw
them with two more resulting from
three errors and a passed ball. The
eXtinguishers took one in the fifth, the
notice coming back with two.
Haven brought the crowd to its feet
with a one hand stab of Clne's long
drive in the seventh and was obliged
to lift his hat as &c passed the grand
stand.
Bob Whalen. of state league fame,
n,tched for the police and struck out
seventeen men during the afternoon.
7 each for the firemen did well, tanning
eleven of the coppers. The game closed
with the score 9 to in favor of the

$500. The lineup was something like

STARVING COUPLE
HUSBAND AND WIFE STRICKEN
WITH MALADY
George Hoffman Attempts to Sell We'd
ding Ring to Obtain Food and
Medicine, Attracting Attention
of PatroIman

Suffering the pangs of hunger and
physical ills, poverty stricken and
without friends was the condition in
which George Hoffman and his wife
were found by the police when they
Investigated the husbands tale of woe
and want after he was arrested for at
tempting to sell his wife's wedding
ring to obtain funds for the purchase
of medicine and food.
Investigation at 440 Wall street,
where they We're staying. revealed tbs
fact that Hoffman was unable to work
because of rheumatism of the heart;
that he and his wife had eaten nothing
for three days because their funds were
exhausted, and that the woman was
i'll with a malady which required an
operation to save her life.
Mrs. Hoffman was removed to the
county hospital and an operation was
performed Tuesday morning. While
yet in a critical condition. she is now
able to relate some of the hardships
that she and her husband have en-
dured during the last two months.
1--WE were married in Oakland two
years ago." said Mrs. Hoffman, land
since then George and / have worked
together, he as a cook and | as his
helper. Sometimes when he has been
sick 1 have done his work for him in
addition to my own. He has always
been a good husband and if anything
happens to him I want to die too.
1.-TWO months ago we took work to-
gether at the Kellogg hotel in Pomona
and there George was taken sick with
rheumatism of the heart. 1 had to
cook for him and my own health was
far from good. Our conditions contin-
ued to grow worse and we had to leave
there and take an easier job at Char
ley Hayes camp at Ocean Park.
But we became unable to work and
when we came to Los Angeles about
week ago we had only SIT. That very
quickly went for food and medicine. I
could not leave my bed, 1 was in such
pain. At last I took off my wedding
ring and told George to sell it and get
medicine to ease the intense rheumatic
pain from which he was suffering. We
know no one in this city and our rela-
tives are far from here. We were
helpless.
II am worrying now about my hus-
band. He sold some of my clothes
and brought some fruit to me here, al
though 1 am sure he has not enough
to eat himself He is an awfully good
boy and we have always stuck by each
other If anything happens to him

FLYCATCHER LEAVES
COUNTY HOSPITAL
EBE SPERRY SENT BACK TO THE
POOR FARM
Eccentric Character Who Invented a
Trap to Capture Insect Pests and
Convert Them Into Soap Forced
to Return to institution

Ebe Sperry 1.-The flytrap man" of the
county hospital, was sent back to the
poor farm last week, and the hospital
in consequence loses one of it's pictur-
esque characters.
Sperry is an old man. who has been
under treatment at the hospital for
about a year. During this period he
has devoted all his time to the inven-
ton of a new style of fly trap. which
was to catch all the flies around the
county hospital. When the insects
were caught. Sperry proposed to make
them into soap. Sir" he would say,
flies make the very best kind of soap"
When asked how he made the soap,
he would shake his head mysteriously
and say that the formula was his most
cherished secret, for it would make
him wealthy when his process was
complete.
The old man was quite skillful with
tools and constructed from old packing
cases a fly trap that usually contained
a myriad of flies. 1t had an artfully
contrived entrance which the inventor
claimed excited the curiosity of the
flies until they were unable to resist
the temptation to walk into 1t. Pos
sibly the real attraction was the mass
OF fishes heads which Sperry put in
the trap as a bait for the flies. "Sir, "
he would say, 81 find, after caretul
experiment. that flies love the heads
OF dead fishes better than anything
else in the world
Sperry proposed to put one of his
fly traps at each entrance to the
grounds to catch the flies as they came
upon the premises. He also intended to
set IN traps at convenient distances
or the streets throughout Los Angeles,
and in some way derive a handsome
fortune from the result of his labors.
When told that he would have to
leave the hospital last week, he said;
"Sir, positively cannot leave this nos
pital today That would be ruination.
1t would place all my business inter-
ests in jeopardy. Before 1 go. I must
arrange with some leading firm in Los
Angeles to handle my business inter-
ests. This fly trap is matter of too
much Importance to be lost to the
world through any neglect on my

ATTRACTIVE PRELIMINARIEs
Manager Mecarey Completes Fight
Card for Sullivan-Burns
Nie,hf

Two rafting good fights will furnish
the preliminaries for the Sullivan
Burns battle October II.
Manager McCarey completed his card
Saturday night by signing two local
welterweights for a siX-round go at 146
pounds. These scrappers are young
Danaher and lad named Mansfield.
The former has decided to abandon
his legal right to cognomen in the
ring and announces that he will adopt
the title of Rube Waddell, and as such
he will be billed and will attempt to
outshine the original of that name.
Waddell and Mansfield are said to be
representative chaps in their pugiltsttc
swaddlings and McCarey believes they
will furnish no small part of the enter
tainment on the night of the big mill.
The lads are both confident OF winning
and this confidence took a substantial
form when the articles were drawn up,
the provision being inserted that the
winner should take all the purse.
Warren Zubrick and RUDE Jeffries
will meet at catch weights, the former
weighing in at 1853 or thereabouts and
the RUDE expressing the guess that
his weight will be in the neighborhood
of 159.
This event will be an attraction of
great interest to local fight fans as
it will serve to give them definite
line on the Rube. McCarey believes
that the catch weight proposition will
enable the RUDE to show all that is In
him and as it is satisfactory to both
scrappers, the promise of one of the
best preliminaries ever pulled off in
Los Angeles is first class.
Despite the topheavy attraction for
October IL, Manager McCarey has de-
cided not to advance the admission
prices and they will remain at 81, So,
So and SIS. 1t was generally under
stood that the 81 seats would be cut
out and advanced to double that price,
