ANGELS WILL
MEET FRESNO
AT LEAST ONE MORE WEEK OF
BASEBALL ASSURED
Local Manager Advises Placing the
seraphs in Spokane Should
,.. Pacific Coast League
Dissolve

James Morley verified the dispatch
received from the north last night to
the effect that he had advised the Coast
magnates regarding q circuit to be
formed In the Northwest league should
the Pacific Coast association be dis
solved for the present season.
When questioned in regard to the
proposition last night, Morley said:
Yes have been approached by the
league officials concerning what would
be the best circuit in the event of the
Coast league being broken up, and
gave my opinion as to what cities
might prove the best oenters of baseball
in the northwest.
IT have offered to place my team in
the. Northwest should the Coast league
break up"
When asked as to what city the
Angels would be liable to represent in
the north, Morley said he had advised
placing the Seraphs in Spokane, as he
deemed that place one of the best base
ball centers of the northwest.
The local manager stated positively.
however. that Fresno and Los Angeles
would appear on the Angel diamond
next week.
ut may be that we will arrange mat
ters so that the Pacific Coast league
will be able to continue and the inter-
est attendant upon next weeks games
may largely determine what the out
come of the situation will be-"
With another week of ball assured
local fans will have an opportunity OF
asserting a demand for a continuation
of Coast league play, and it may be
that a degree of enthusiasm calculated
to restore the game to it's former vigor
will convince Manager Morley that
Angel City fans are more than desirous
of witnessing league baseball during
the coming months

POMONA WILL ENDEAV0R

CLAREMoNTERs AND SAINTS TO
MEET TODAY
Lively Battle May Result on Country
Diamond This Afternoon When
Champions and consregationaIists
Cross Bats

The st. Vincent college team WIFI
travel to Claremont this afternoon for
the first Intercollegiate game of the
season with the Pomona college nine.
During the afternoon the country
boys will endeavor to break the long
string of diamond victories which the
Saints have amassed in the past few
years of college ball.
During four consecutive seasons the
third game of the Pomona-St. Vincent
series was not played, as the repre-
sentatives of the latter institution an
nexed the first two games. The Clare
monters will doubtless put forth every
effort this afternoon to turn the tide
and an interesting struggle may result.
Haggerty will take along Phillips
and Cunningham as box material, and
both youngsters may be given a try
on the slab.
Pomana is in possession of a twirler
by the name of Golly, and just what the
Saints will do with Golly remains for
the contest to develop. Benner, who
holds down second for the Pomonas, is
the reserve pitcher and will be called
upon in the event of Golly blowing up.

Piper, a graduate of the Washington
State college, now employed in the de-
partment of agriculture at Washing
ton, D. c., in the biological survey, ar
rived from Washington and will spend
the summer here Mr.. Piper is sent to
investigate the squirrel pest and de-
wise means of destroying them. He
will study the habits of the rodents
and experiment in various methods of
eradication. incubation Of the squir-
rels with disease germs will be tried.
Eight years ago disease broke out
among the smaller species of squirrels
near Sprague and many died. Prof
C. V. Piper, brother of Stanley. was
then professor of entomology botany
and zoology in the Washington State
college, and he inoculated hundreds of
squirrels with the virus of this disease.
The inoculated squirrels were turned
loose in the country and the disease
spread to such an extent that thou
sands perished. For several years there
were fewer squirrels in the districts
where the inoculated rodents had been
liberated than for many years previous.
"The results were sufficient to justify
further experiments along the same
line" said Mr. Piper. He will also visit
W. A. Davis of Colfax and investigate
the plan Mr.. Davis introduced last year
of killing squirrels with ferrets, which
was found quite successful. Mr.. Piper
calls upon the farmers interested to as

CYCLoMETER ON TYPEWRITER
New Contrivance for Measuring Up

CHICAGO, May 4.-Whether or not

moral right to accept the word of a
"dinky" little cyclometer rather than
the statement Of his fair typewriter

number of more or less expert key
manipulaters of both sexes in this era

Not long ago dapper gentleman
with a persuasive manner and story
to relate called upon business men of

some of the less proficient typists, it
never makes a mistake I.
Lovely" commented the first young
woman typewriter who saw the work.
Fine" added her employer, and then
to himself, land 1 can get line on
the comparative speed of my typists." "
For a short period everybody was
delighted, but the hour came when
the drones were weeded out owing to
the unerring report of the little at
tachment on the keyboard. Then the
trouble began. The whirlwind devel-
oped into a full grown tornado when
the employer conceived the scheme of
paying his typists on the piece work

Then it was 20, joy for the fast

proposed. He was accepted and the
next day went away to take his place
on the engine with joyous heart
When Mr.. Linton first met Mrs.
Leonard she was widow of but two
months, and though he then thought
he had met his second affinity, he did
not wish to intrude too deeply on her
recent affiiction, so .bided his time He
learned, however. where she lived and
though he made several attempts to
get run through her neighborhood,
he was unsuccessful until after a year
had passed. when he changed his posi-
tion and went to work for the Rock

The face of the young widow had
been constantly in his lima gination and
his opportunity was improved when he
got his new run.

get to. see his future wife often, but
they kept up a constant correspond
ence. Recently they decided to post
pone the ceremony no longer and the
prospective bridegroom gave notice
to his superiors that he would soon re-
sign, his position. He secured a leave
of absence for his wedding and Mrs.
Leonard became Mrs. Linton. The cer-
emony was performed at the Union
boulevard address by Rev. DR.. Camp
bell of the Wagner Place Presbyterian
church. A banquet, at which were
about fifty guests, followed the cere-
mony.
Mrs. Linton's first husband died six
years ago. She was married the first
time when she was still in her teens.
Mr.. Linton, who is AZ years of age and
ten years the senior of his wife, was
also married when quite young. and

first wife, the oldest of whom is now
is years of age. Troubles between
