Morley ssLos Angeles Team Has
Been Losing Proposition
4he Past Three
Years

Jim nv says Los Angeles fans
have pradlly demonstrated that they
will not port baseball. Angel city
enthuslai have one more week in
which tfute the argument.
The Sbhs returned from Fresno
yesterdahorning and were followed
by the bno crowd in the evening.
The ted Will open the series at
Chutes ( this afternoon and whether
or no IL is to be further diamond
exhibltlI OF the professional order
remaindr the local fans to decide.
MorleyEery skeptical as regards the
outlooHd is not inclined to believe
that attendance will warrant a con-
tinuatiIof the league schedule.
The hrning Angels report a very
slim ahdance during the series at
Fresndd the total gate receipts for
the SHINES amounted to 1913. Three
hundrdollars had been guaranteed
the S4hs, the remaining 1913 COM
prisedle funds which aided Mike
Fished paying off his men.
The hct gate receipts for each day
whileb locals played In Frenso fol-
TueIy, $s6.5O; Wednesday. s45.25;
ThurIg, $50; Friday, $6S; Saturday,
SI5; huay, $35z.1i.
Moi said yesterday that at least
$4,000 week must be taken in by each
Paciflcoast league team in order to
brealFen. 1t is easy to be seen where
the II managers would get off IL a
contjhtion of the Fresno article of
atterhce was allowed.
"Itjay not be believed" said Nor
ley Ierday, "but the Los Angeles ball
clubhs been losing proposition for
the bt three years. l am willing that
any mmittee appointed be allowed to
inspk the books of the treasurer TO
proIthis fact. I may be wrong and
/ nd am. but I don't believe there
is nch of a possibility of continuing
witlthe league"
. Sdt is q proposition that is up to
the bs Angeles fan. II baseball is to
be hyed in Los Angeles duringBthe
moh to come there is but one method
of curing the game, and that will be
by great turnout Of fans for the
sers which commences this afternoon.
Tia man up a tree 1t would appear
thai there is to be no more ball, all
thogh the one hope Is held out.
Cttis Bernard, center fielder of the
Anels, who came south yesterday. is
noIloved by Fresno fans because of
thdact that Bernie roasted the stamp
ingrounds of Mike Fisher as rotten
baIball town. AS result the Fresno
faJ and press said unkind things about
th(Angel player. Sunday he was The
vidm Of all the gibes that the raisin
pider rooters could invent and he has
beh promised lively reception If
evr again he happens along toward
Frsno Bernie evidently hasn't much
to worry about, as the chances Jof the
Argels invading the inland city for
Sole time to come are not overly bright.
he Seraphs expressed themselves as
ylfl to return from Fresno, whatever
.hdr future destination. The unsettled
has not exerted a Soothing
influence over either team and as
'esIlt propensity to dispute every
hing in the way of close decision de-
Yeldped anything but 81 feeling of
love.
Tdlay's game should be a lively af-
air from the call of tims, as both
cams are anxious to taks the scalp
# the other. Atz and Doyla aengaged in
little mix-up Sunday witch resulted
n both being removed from the
grounds, and there is a 9neral spirit
f animosity lowering abolt the entire
ituation.
The size of the attendaIce will be of
10 small interest, for shatever the
of the league officials, local
ans are to be given an opportunity Of
sserting a demand for the game.
Should an unmistakahe request in
he nature of we'll fillh stands and
leachers say "give usl ball." Pacific
oast magnates will dq well to listen
0 the popular cry.
Today's contest will be called at 3
