 If he finds life a t home dull, the Frenchman finds wit and gayety at the stage door of the theater-in fact the stage seems to be designed to enliven the French people in every way The wife finds consolation in her children !. The stories of the depopulation os France arc largely fiction. The French mother is nearly always a good mother. often a slave for her child. And the one genuine spontaneous feeling on the part of both the Frenchman and the Frenchwoman is the absolute pride and adoration with which they regard thelr children.
 But it is funny, all ehe same, to see how amazed and a little shocked they are at our ideas of life.

Novel Baseball Glove

Now that the baseball mitt has been
enlarged until no further improvement
can be made in this direction, and has
been modified in design by the addition
of heel pads and finger webs to insure
the safe Judgement of the ball until in
genuity can suggest nothing further,
an Illinois inventor comes forward with
a mitt for two hands, which is entirely
unique. This glove Is constructed with
separate hand and finger holds for each
hand connected with a pocket or re-
ceptacle between them so that all the
catcher has to do is to judge accurately
the probable course Of the thrown or
pitched bail and close the pocket by
folding the double glove to prevent its
escape. In order not to interfere with
the catcher's throwing arm, one of the
gloves, depending Oh whether the
wearer is right or left handed, is de-
signed to permit the easy and quick
removal of the hand. In modern base
ball the use of the glove is looked upon
as essential, even for the fielder, and
the day when the catcher wore only
small glove, not much larger than the
fielder's glove of today, is only a
memory of the days of Anson's SUI
premacy on the diamond. The dupli-
cate padded glove, If adopted, will
afford still greater protection for the
catcher's hand and raise the standard
of the catcher's Observation-Disclosures
phia Record.

ALL STAR TEAM MAY

ACTION OF POMONA FACULTY
INTERFERES
Should the CIaremont Authorities Re-
main Obstinate This Morning an
Effort Will Be Made to Take High
School Men

An all star Southern California track
team may leave Los Angeles for Stan
ford this morning. 1t may leave this
evening and again it may not leave at
all
The action of the Pomona faculty in
refusing to allow the Claremont men
to go north with Chaplin of Occidental
as a member Of the aggregation has
caused the trouble. The Pomona au-
thorities say that as long as Chaplin
was not eligible nthe south he is not
eligible for the northern trip.
The Pomona men came to the city
yesterday afternoon and took quarters
at q downtown hotel. They were under
orders, however not to go north with
Chaplin. Coach Holmes of u. S. c. and
Coach Noble of Claremont last night
telephored the Congregational faculty
in a final effort to secure their con-
sent on the condition that Chaplin g
participancy be left to the Stanford
managers.
The faculty was firm, however, and
said nay. The situation this morning
looms up in the following way:
Should the Pomona authorities refuse
again before the early train leaves,
Coach Holmes will telegraph Manager
Barrett of Stanford and ask if team
composed of the best men of Occiden-
tai U. S. c.. and the Los Angeles high
school would be accepted as a substi-
tute for the all college team.
In the event of a favorable reply the
southern representatives will leave on
the Owl this evening and meet the
Stanford men as scheduled.

KENNEDY WINS
CHAMPIONSHIP
DEFEATS SEYMOUR IN eALK LINE
MATCH
Winner Takes All Three Games in
Series for Amateur Billiard Hon=
ors In Southern California,
Making Good Averages

George w. Kennedy last night won
the final game of the series of three
at 14-inch balk line, shots in, defeat
ing Arthur Seymour and winning the
amateur balk line championship OF
Southern California.
Kennedy and Seymour began their
match Monday night, playing 300
points, Kennedy winning. Tuesday
night another 300 points was played
and again Kennedy won. The final
game was played last night, 400 points,
and Kennedy won again.
Throughout the series Kennedy has
played in sensational form and dem
onstrated a control over the worries
that frequently elected applause from
the spectators. His best game, now
ever, was that played last night.
In running out the 400 points Ken
nedy made an average of 13 1-3, which
is in excess of the averages made IN
the national billiard tournament re-
Gently held in Chicago. He also made
several high runs. scoring as follows:
30, So, AZ, 40, 10, 80. 50, 36, 46, 43.
The grand average made by Ken
nedy for the three games was 10 6O-94,
which is remarkably good and very
close to the grand averages made at
Chicago during the amateur tourna-
ment this month.
Seymour totaled only 500 points,
while Kennedy scored 1000 in the three
games. His grand average was 1898,
and his high runs last night were: 22,
40, 81, As, 81
The match games were played at
Henry Berry's Hoffman parlors, and a
large crowd of billiard devotees at
tended each nights play. Kennedy
was the universal favorite on form,
but his excellent showings each night
surprised all who witnessed them.
While it was not unexpected that
Kennedy would win, because of his
past good performances against expert
cue artists on the coast, Seymour was
not without supporters, as he has
demonstrated upon frequent occasions
that he is there" with the cue at this
style of play and was the universal
choice of the fans as the one best
qualified to dispute the title with
Kennedy.
Kennedy, always expert in this style
of play. displayed remarkable form
throughout the match but his perform
ances last night were of the sensational
order and his record for high runs
and his excellent average made In the
game puts him into a class by him
self.
BY winning the title Kennedy says
that he will not rest upon his laurels,
but will defend the honors against all
conlers entitled to contest for the
championship, and unless his game has
become so terrifying to aspirants for
the title that they would not risk a de-
feat at his hands, it is possible that
he will be called upon to defend his
title ere long.

Bio Seat Demand

If there ever existed any doubt as
to the propriety of Manager McCarey
in offering a $4,000 purse for the Mel
son-Herrera bout, it is being dispelled
by the continual flow of seat appli-
cations, oral and by mail, which are
being received at the office in advance
of the opening of the seat sale. These
orders are for one, two five and ten
seats at a time, but McCarey is turn
ing down orders for more than ten
seats at time unless the purchaser is
known to him and is not ticket
scalper. These scalpers are trying daily
to buy from 100 to 500 seats at one buy,
but all meet the same fate. McCarey
says he has been forced to boost the
prices to the top notch and expects
to protect his patrons from higher
prices by refusing to sell any block
OF seats to scalpers. One of these
scalpers yesterday wanted 500 seats
and said that he was organizing an
excursion party of that number and
had to take care of them. He did not
get the seats. The free list has been
suspended for the three battles already
arranged and those who witness them
will do so at their own expense, not
McCarey's.

SAN DIEGO, Cal, March 28.-A
crowd which filled the pavilion OF the
National Athletic club tonight saw
Tommy Burns prove his right to
championship honors in a manner
quite conclusive.
Burns undertook to stop James
O'Brien of Pittsburg who once fought
a ten-round draw with him, and James
Walker of Battle Creek, Mich, IN
twenty rounds of fighting. He took
only a round each.
O'Brien was down four times in the
round before he was finally counted
out when the round was only two MIN
utes and eighteen seconds old.
Walker was able to stay few sec
onds longer, but neither he nor OBrien
could land telling blow and Burns
didn't take the trouble to guard him
self from either.
Walker got his five seconds before
the round closed and he fell like a
log and remained unconscious for fully
three minutes.
Burns foot work was magnificent
and he seemed capable of taking on
twenty such men in as many rounds.

POSTPONE HARNESS MEETING
Directors of Los Angeles Driving Club
Compelled to Change Date of
Matinee to Saturday

The Los Angeles Driving club is hav-
ing a strenuous time of trying to hold
the oft-postponed st. Patrick's day
matinee meet and yesterday announced
that the condition of the track was
such that it was deemed wise to again
postpone it, naming Saturday after
noon as the date.
This is the third postponement made
necessary by the deluge of the last
two weeks, The rains left the track
in such a condition that the track
superintendent was unable to work on
it until yesterday, and the club ex-
poets the postponement to Saturday
will result in q lightning fast track
and performances in accordance.
The rains also interefered with the
workouts of the horses entered in the
several events and the two additional
days allowed by the postponement will
enable the owners to put their horses
into their best condition.
The meet will be held at Agricultural
park Saturday afternoon If rain does
not again interfere and the first race
will be called promptly at 1870 o'clock
