COAST LEAGUE
IS DISRUPTED
NATIONAL PASTIME MAY BE
DISCONTINUED
Manager Morley Says Game Cannot
Be Supported Under Present Cir
mstances-Nationa AS
ISOLATION Volunteers

The Pacific coast baseball situation
is in very unsettled condition at the
present moment and there is a strong
probability that the schedule will go
over for another year.
Manager Morley of the Los Angeles
team, in regard to the predicament in
which the league has been placed, said
last night:
Il do not think Southern California
will have further Pacific coast league
ball this season. San Francisco games
are, of course, out of the question, and
it Is a problem whether any other city
could support the game sufficiently to
warrant a continuation. Each team
must take in from $65,000 to $4,000 each
year in order to break even, and l
don't see how that can be done under
the present circumstances"
Morley sent a message Monday even
ing to the northern magnates inquiring
as TO their intentions. No answer has
been received thus far, though it is
expected that something definite will
be known before the week has passed.
A telegram was received last night
from j. A. Sarrell secretary of the
National association, to the effect that
the eastern teams were playing games
the receipts of which were to be ten
dered the Pacific Coast league.
Manager Morley says that it will not
be necessary to accept this offer. The
game evidently must be suspended for
the time being, but when it is revived
renewed interest will doubtless be am
pie support.

AUTO|ST RIDES
ON DYNAMITE
PLACED AS BALLAST AMID EX-
PLOSIVE MATERIAL
Charles S. RugeIes Has Narrowing
Experience In Frisco-ls Made
to HurI Destruction Sticks
From Automobile

To think of being compelled to ride
in an automobile on top of dynamite,
acting as human ballast to keep the
explosive material from being thrown
from the machine, now appeals to
Charles S. Ruggles, jr, of San Fran
cisco and Los Angeles as laughable,
but did not at the time that he was
performing these duties.
Mr.. Ruggles is about % years of age
and went to San Francisco from Stan
ford just after the earthquake. He
had no sooner landed in the city than
the soldiers compelled him to get into
a big touring car, hold the explosives
in the automobile as it went humping
over rocks and crevices and all kinds
of debris at a high rate of speed. When
a building was reached which they in
tended to blow up, he was compelled
to toss the sticks of dynamite from
the machine to a man who in turn had
been pressed into the dangerous work.
He was not allowed to leave his
work until he had been on duty day
and a night without let up. He ar
rived in Los Angeles last night on a
Pullman train in company with his
father who went north to meet him.

CLEVELAND, o., April 25.-Harry
Evans, IA years old, has gone back to
the concert hall stage because the
richest man in the world broke his
promise. John D. Rockefeller heard of
the boy last summer when he warbled
at a beer garden. The oil king took
Harry away from the place and prom

support them and give the boy a good
education. Since Rockefeller left his
Forest Hill home not word has been
heard from him, and Harry is wonder
ing where he is.
The oil king had young Evans out
to his home shortly after he took him
from the beer garden. He talked of the
birds, the flowers and the trees, quoted
poetry and scripture, and then asked
Harry to sing.
Without accompaniment the boy be-

The boy is the support of his widowed
mother and was forced to sing in a con-
cert hall to earn money.
