EI "Aguila' guedose sin pIumas.

Ain ostento en- la solapa de mi humilde

Y no es que haya quedado del todo tTas-

Y como cada gitorGgltoo tiene su pitirre,
este toc6le aver If desplumando inning
por inning al 'sAguila" invencible, (segdn
su captain
Y es que La maldad no puede triunfar
y queda estrellada ante la conciencia de
l los hombres honrados.
Ell '.Aguila" fue vencida por 6 carreras.
"A los s.Escogidos del Texas, cabeles la
gloria de haber sido los primeros en- ven
Ger q la reina de las alturas.
La lucha sostenida por uno otro club,
fu6 terrible, 4 pesar de< ser superiores en-
fuerza los s'aguilistas." !" Los Escogidos en-
ell segundo inning dieron tai empuie, q. des-
orientaron sus contrarios, haci6ndo1es 8
carreras.
Estas carreras, hicieron variar de ideas
al pGblico que era bastante numeroso.
/ Y hasta el mismo captain del club
"Aguila" dijo para sus adentrOs: lque NAL
estamos!
Y cierto era, que estaban NAL parados,
fpues desde Ell indicado inning no vieron
mas las suyas.
De todo este tiene la culpa don Pepe,
pitcher de los "Escogidos", que estaba du-
70 y curYero como pocas veces 10 hemos
visto.

Es un pitcher de primera, y con un dia-

Todos los demas jugadores, en- union de

Tres regalos en- metdlico Sc hicieron, en-
esta forma: para ell que hiciere la primera
carrera, para Ell palo mas largo, y para ell
que meior jugase
I Correspondieron estos premios los ju-
gadores Franco, Cruz y Lopez, respectiva-

Los 'aguilistas" no pudieron sacar la boz
Ia del diamante, solose vieron dos buenos
palos al centraLfe que fueron matados.
En- el campo cometieron bastantes erro-

un par de botines 8 una pieza de drill en-

tendemos que, cualquiera robo realizado

Creemos tambi6n, que el Municipio no
puede exigir grandes responsibilities
los celadores del Cementerio por los robos
que en- 6l Sc cometen. Sabemos ciencia
cierta, que los celadores estan constante'
mente vijilando, pero es tan reducido su
n1mero son tantas sus atenciones, que se
hace materialmente impossible puedan eff

drones aprovechar las oportunidades para
burlar Ia vijilancia. Algunos .severos

FIVE DEAD; ONE DYING.
Madmsn On Rampage With Rifle, knife and
Pistol

San Diego, Cal, (Special) Five
persons are dead and one other probably
will die as result of wounds inflicted
by man who is supposed to have been
crazed by liquor in this city Those
killed met instant death.
The series of tragedies was committed
by w. P. Robinson, house cleaner.
At o'clock A. NJ, Robinson left his
home, at Fourth and A streets, and going
to the apartment in the same building
occupied by Mrs Emma Stewart, the
iandlady, and her son William, raped
for admission. Mrs. Stewart, upon
opening the door, was shot through the
head by Robinson, who had leveled a
rifle at her Robinson then entered the
dining room, where Young Stewart,
who had been seated at breakfast, was
just rising from the table. Robinson
attacked him Immediately, plunging
long knife into his body close to the
heart and again into the abdomen. At
the second stab Stewart sank to the
floor with blood pouring forth in a
stream.
Robinson then returned to his rooms.
Reloading his rifle and leaving his knife,
he slipped revolved into his pocket.
He then descended to the first floor, one
portion of which is used as carpenter
shop by H. w. Chase Chase probably
saw Robinson enter, but paid no atten-
ton to him, for Robinson approached
close to him and suddenly throwing up
his rifle fired, the bullet entering Chase's
breast, close to the heart. Chase died
Immediately
From the carpenter shop Robinson
proceeded on his bicycle down Fourth
street for several blocks, through the
business section of the town, still carry
ing the rife. He went directly to the
house of w. H. Dodridge, internal reve-
nue. collector, on the northeast corner
of Second and H streets. He left his
wheel at the curb and ran UP the steps
to the front door, carrying his revolver
in one hand and his rifle in the other.
Harry Doddridge, son of w. H. bod
bridge, who is an engineer at the San
Diego Brewery, responded to his ring.
Robinson fired his revolver and young
Doddridge san to the floor with a bullet
just above the heart. Death followed
before medical assistance could be sum-
moned.
Mrs. Doddridge, the young mans
mother, hearing the shot and perhaps
witnessing the tragedy, ran screaming
from the house. Robinson, hearing the
cries, started through the house after
her. As she was crossing the yard the
crazed man caught sight of her and
fired, the bullet striking her in the back.
She fell headlong upon her face in the
yard.
w. H. Doddridge, who was in bed on
the second floor when the commotion
began, jumped or fell out of the window,
breaking the bones of mis- right hand
and probably sustaining internal injuries.
Robinson searched the house for more
people. When he came to the room just
vacated by Doddridge he climbed upon
the bed, and, placing his revolver to his
temple, fired bullet which tore off
the top of his head.
There is no known reason for think
ing there had been i'll feeling between
Robinson and any of his victims. Col
lector Doddridge says, he never even
saw or heard of Robinson before.

i LONG OCEAN RACE
Eleven Yachts Make Start From Sandy

THEY ARE TO SAIL s,Ilo MILES.
The Finish at the Lizard Light 10 English
Channel German Emperor Gives Cup
The Vessels Are of All Sizes From Full-Rg-
ged Ship. The yaIhala, Down to the Little
Schooner, FIeur De Lys.

New York, (SpeciaD With the in
centive of valuable cup and three
other prizes offered by the German
Emperor, II large sailing yachts OF
various rigs and representing three ma
tons assembled in the inner harbor
here fully prepared for the race across
the North Atlantic. Eight of the con-
testants are vessels owned in this coun-
try, two are from England, while Ger
many has one representative.
While a number of the yachts have
had a deep-sea experience, there are
several of the fleet which have had little
sailing, except in the comparatively
placid waters along the American coast.
The event is therefore looked upon in
the yachting world as one of the most
important in many years, in that it will
test the stability and rig of the present
type of pleasure craft, as well as the
|seamanship Of the modern yachtsmen.
A representative of Emperor William,
assisted by committee of American
yachtsmen, will start the fleet at 2.I5
o'clock P NJ, at Sandy Hook light
ship, 10 miles outside of this harbor.
The finish will be at the Lizard, on the
English coast, more than 5000 miles
away, when German war vessel will
note the winner.
Of the II yachts entered for the event
one is full-rigged ship, another is a
bark, a third is topsail schooner, two
are three-masted schooners, five are two
masted schooners and one is yawl.
OF the two-masted schooners several
are equipped with yard in the fore
mast in order that they may be able,
like their square-rigged competitors, to
take advantage of following winds.
The finish will be across an imaginary
line due south of the Lizard lightship.
The committee under whose direction
the race will be started will be COM
posed of Commander H. H. Hosley,
United States Navy; Commander II. O..
Hebbinghaus, |. G. N; Oliver F. Crom-
well, Newbury D. Lawton, H. de b..
Parsons and Edward H. Wales, broth
er-in-law of former Secretary of War
Elihu Root, all of the New York Yacht
Club.
The committee which will act as
judges at the finish will be the Earl OF
Lonsdale, Sir Edward Birkbeck and
Captain Coerper, l. G. N.
The committee at the finish will have
its tug off the Lizard lightship on May
28.
There will be four prizes. The So
called Emperor's cup will go to the
winner, and the Emperor has provided
three other prizes for the second, third
and fourth boats. Every effort will be
made. by the skipper Of each yacht to
break the record, which now stands
at 10 days 20 hours and SO minutes,
from Sandy Took to the Needles, which
is held by the Endymion.
