ing will adjourn to McCord's for an
informal banquet.
Local Team Defeated
Meyers Pasadena baseball team suf-
fered bad defeat this afternoon on the
local grounds, at the head OF vernon
avenue but the belief that an un-
friendly umpire from the City of the
Angels caused the score to mount un-
duly high for the visitors is what ran
kles more than the mere fact of defeat.
In the first place the scheduled game
was to be with C.. Leonardts team
from Los Angeles, but at the last mo-
ment the Examiner team was substi-
tuted, it's first game since its return
from Mexico. This rather dtsarranged
the plans of the local fans. Then the
umpire selected for the game failed to
appear and a Los Angeles man took
his place. In the very first inning this
umpire called what seemed to the local
fans a plain foul a fair ball, the Pasa-
dena third baseman allowing 1t to go
by him without an effort, with the
result that three men went home-a
fact which took the nerve out of The
local players for the entire game.
The final score was to IL, the crowd
figuring that 1t should not have been
more than to 9 and possibly less.
Gray and Rickard were the battery for
the locals, Franklin and Mangerine for
the visitors.
East Side Petition
When the city council meets Tues
day morning one of the matters on It's
table for consideration will be the peti-
tion of East Pasadena residents for an
nexation. This paper is ready, but the
one containing the names Of Pasadena
electors in support of the proposition
is not yet ready and will not be pre-
sented for some time. The single petit
tion will no doubt be referred to the
proper committee, and when the other
petition joins it in committee 1T will
be referred back for action and the
naming of date for general election
to see whether both petitioners and Pc
titioned are ready Tor such an action.
The county supervisors have given
the fasteners to understand that II q
majority in that section do not desire
to be included IN the projected storm
water district they will be left out when
such district is formed. Work on
the first petition has heretofore been
pushed In order to give the supervisors
the desired information. Aside from
this there appears to be no great haste
to have the eastern territory become
part of Pasadena, for it is understood
that full year and half must elapse
before any actual benefit can be de-
rived from the contemplated union.
An Impressive Address
Mrs. Z. NJ Whittemore, founder of
the several Doors of Hope in several
OF the great cities of the country, spoke
this afternoon to about three hundred
young men at the Y. NJ. G. A. audi
torium, the address being one of the
most impressive and interesting heard
by the association this season. Mrs.
Whittemore detailed the manner in
which the first Door of Hope was
opened in the city of New York and
spoke of the great work it is doing
there and elsewhere. The similar in
stitution in Los Angeles was also de-
scribed.
Mrs. Whittemore announced that a
Los Angeles gentleman has offered to
purchase suitable tract outside of the
Angel City to the value of $1,000 if
other friends of the movement will
contribute enough to erect the neces-
sary building there. Mrs. Whittemore
is confident the money will be forth
coming. She is greatly interested In
this Southern California country and
expects great things for it along the
lines of moral and religious progress,
