BASEBALL OUTLOOK 0MINOUS
Should Seattle Legally Withdraw
From Pacific Coast League
Break-Up May Occur

If the dispatch received from Seattle
last night to the effect that Manager
Agnew of the Seattle club had deter
mined to leave the Pacific Coast league
and enter the Northwest association be
true, the baseball situation assumes a
rather ominouS outlook.
With Seattle out and the Los Angeles
club in a precarious situation as re-
CARDS its future, the California baseball
sun is not shining with monday bril-
liancy. The Oakland and San Fran
cisco ball players have not been paid
since April 15, and when they return to
Oakland next week there will be thirty
seven days of salary coming to the
members of both teams. Basing the
expenses of the two aggregations at
$4,000 month, an item of practically
$1,000 must be met by the northern man
agement.
Payment of salaries will no doubt put
considerable of a dent in the treasury
department and whether ball will be
continued under the circumstances re-
mains to be seen.
If Seattle can legally withdraw and
does so, but five clubs will remain.
When President Bert was in Los Ange-
les he, said that baseball could not be
run with less than six clubs, and what
he will do in the event of Seattle sever
ing Coast league connections is q prob
lem for future solving.

Two college baseball games will oc-

when the university team and the St
Vincents nine will meet at the varsity,
with Pomona and Occidental contesting q
on the Highland Park campus.
Coach Haggerty of the Saints said
last night that perhaps Phillips would
not be OH the slab for the Vincentians
this afternoon, and in that event
Holmes men will possess an advantage
which may possibly prove to be of ma
terial benefit. Phillips has pitched
steady ball throughout the season and
SO tar has held his opponents to a
minimum number of hits.
Bridewell will be in the box for the
Methodists and has more than a pos

Fishers camp--Tozer Holds
Fresnos to Three Hits
Los Anqeles 8, Fresno 2

Despite the fact that they are un-
certain as to their future and are play
ing under difficulties probably never
before encountered by league team,
the Los Angeles nine is upholding what
honor remains of Angel city baseball.
One of the best clubs in the country,
1t is nothing less than a shame that
such an aggregation, while daily win
ming game after game, is not urged by
the incentive of knowing whether they
are to retain their positions on the dia-
mond. At the present moment the local
club is delivering an article of ball
which would be we'll in keeping with Il
great attendance and enthusiastic man
agement rather than mere simmerlhg
of interest and dismal uncertainty as
to the future.
Whether criticisms may be passed
upon the league officials and those re-
sponsible for the present condition OF
Los Angeles baseball, nothing but
praise is coming to the team members
who have played championship Dali
under circumstances anything but con-
ductlve to fast work.
The Fresnoites came in for another
mauling yesterday and allowed the
Angles to take the eighth game out ol
ten which have been played since the
opening of the present series.
Ralph Tozer, the Mormon wonder
trotted out on the slab, and during
nine innings held Fishers men TO three
measly hits, which, however, were suf-
ficient to bring two runs across for
the Raisin Pickers.
Had Artie Ross not pulled off one OF
the plays with which he had given
Mike Fisher chronic inflammat0ry

probably tied the score in the ninth.
Arellanes, the first man up, drove

Expect to Cut Wide SWath in Fiesta
Parades and Vicinity of Jail Re-
sembles a Horse Traders
Camp,

With coats off and the honest per-
spiration of labor rolling from their
brows, Sheriff White and his deputies
are spending the otherwise quiet hours
of the holidays in a desperate effort
to secure proper horses and proper
trappings for the Fiesta parades in
which they are to participate.
For more than a week now the Of
ficers have been hard at work trying to
secure beasts to set off their sylph-like
forms to the best advantage before the
assembled populace Of Los Angeles ana
the rest Of the world.
Every animal known to the calendar
has been paraded before the sheriff $
Office during the past few days until
the street resembled some horse trad
ers' camp rather than dignified old
Temple street.
At first the beasts were of the lively
variety and Haunted their heads and
names and neighed their joy, but such
animals were quickly spoken for and
then came the real hard work which
has caused the officers nights of Sleep
lessness.
Sheriff Imports Bay
The sheriff took the bull by the
horns and imported a magnificent bay
from his ranch. For days the sheriffs S
man, Monte" commonly known to
the world at large as Mr.. Boyd Mont
gomery, has been getting the horse in
shape, until now you can see your face
in the sleek velvety skin.
Every morning the sheriff looks at
the horse and If he can't see his re-
Election in the polished hide there is
something to pay which makes the
vaulted dungeons of the Jail ring with
suppressed shrieks.
But the worst job of all in the horse
line was the selection of a steed capable
of bearing the handsome form of
Deputy Sheriff Hutchinson.
big Hutch" as he is known
throughout the southwest, weighs 300
pounds without his watch, which
weighs five pounds extra. AT first a
big fat horse was selected for Hutch to
ride in the parade, but it was later
learned that with that combination
little of the rest of the parade could
be seen.
This Horse Collapsed
A slender horse was then selected and
shown to Hutch, but the horse collapsed
and so a medium sized nag was at last
selected.
Deputy Bert Franklin had Jared hard.
When he managed to select a horse to
his liking he learned that he was in

have to have a Spanish bit and the
horse refused to wear one of that va
riety
SO the deputies have been trading;
have been spending many a long hour
polishing up rusted silver trappings and
trying to make a square bit out of a
shank bit.
Yesterday the sheriff's new saddle
blanket arrived at that office and the

the blanket had been made in the form
of a kimono.
The "orneriest" collection of horse
