If a managerial position depended

plucking victory with skimpish scores

of what the good fans of the raisln
district will say to him when he comes
trailing back with his chosen ones
Scoring in the second and third in
nings yesterday, the Seraphs were never
headed. Considering everything, there
was some reason for grumbling on
Mikes part. In the first place Los An
geles secured but four hits off FitZ-
gerald, while the Fresnoites banged
Bergman for eight safeties. Again the
Angels made three errors, while the
Fresnoites were guilty of but two.

YACHTS ARE OFF
IN RACE TODAY
INTEREST CENTERS AROUND
MONSOON AND MISCHIEF
Owners of Each Confident of Victory.
No Precedent Upon Which to
Base Forecast of
Result
BY NORMAN DENsHAM

Now that Captain Wedgwood has
definitely decided not to enter the race
today, interest centers on the duel be-
tween the Mischief ii and the Mon
soon. There is absolutely no precedent
on which to base forecast of the re-
suit, as the two boats have not sailed
together since they were launched.
Opinions differ widely among the
general critics and the partisans of
either owner. Joe Pugh feels confident
that his Gardner design is just the
thing for these waters, and Walter
Folsom is equally sure that Joe Fell
lows has hit the hapy mean for all
Weathers. Captain Dodge one of the
Oldest and most experienced yachtsmen
on the coast and recognized authority
on yachting matters. gives his opinion
that the Mischief will have the better
of the race except in very light airs.
The captain states that the combina-
tion of hard bilge and narrow beam
on the Monsoon does not look able to
him. He likes the smooth curve OF
the Mischief's blge and thinks she
will be very fast in any breeze strong
enough to lay her over onto her lines.
There is considerable interest being
taken in San Pedro over this race.
Captain Duffey rather favors the Mon
soon. He did not see her out of the
water but he says he likes her lines
and that, in light airs, she ought to
beat everything in the creek.
Captain Hamilton, the doughty pilot,
like the canny Scotchman he is, re-
fuses an opinion. Nav, nav, laddie,"
quoth he, "I'll gle ye my opeenion after
the race"
Quite a little money has been
wagered over the result of this first
tryout of the two racers. Joe Pugh
was reported to have said that he was
willing to bet $1,000 on the result When
Walter Folsom heard that he imme-
diately produced a certified check for
the sum, and it is ready for Joe Pugh
or his friends to cover. Report does not
say this has been done yet.
The regatta committee has worked
diligently and all arrangements have
been made for the accommodation of
the press and visitors. Mr.. Folsom has
arranged to have launch tow the
Mischief out of the creek and a party
of Mischief adherents will take advan-
tage of this to follow her throughout
the race.
The start will occur off the Long
Beach pier, where good view of both
start and finish may be obtained. The
smaller classes start first and the big
boats will get off at ! o'clock.

One evening at dinner Jean Ingelow
confessed that though she had often
written poems about nightingales, she
had never heard one sing. Every one
commented on this as extraordinary.
and we agreed that a poetess' imag-
inatiOn' was a marvellous gift, but we
determined that not another night
should pass without remedying this
grievOus omission. 1t was in May, and
about o o'clock we led forth Miss In
gelOw to the lime avenue, where the
nightingales were singing in scores.
We all held our breath to listen as one
after another, far and near, broke into
song. Presently Miss Ingelow asked
anxiously: well, are they singing yet
don't hear anything" 1t transpired
that, being a Londoner and uncertain
of unknown strawberries on chilly
spring evening, she had defied drafts
by the simple expedient of putting cot
ton wool in her ears before venturing
out-at least. she said it was on ac-
count of drafts, but l thought at the
time and still think that her determina-
tion to be betrayed into nothing that
could SAVIOR of sentimentalism had had
something to do with it. However, she
never minded being chaffed about il
and enjoyed the joke as much as any
