WILL PEAY SERIES OF GAMES
WITH OAKLAND
Berry's Men to Be Gone for Long
Trip and Then Will Return
Home for Two
Weeks

For five weeks the Los Angeles baseball
team left last night for Oakland and "a five
weeks sojoun in the north Los Angeles was
more than successful during the last week Of
play at home, taking four out of the six
games
the Angels came back with victory the next
day. on Thursday they again lost to the
northern team but since that time nothing has
happened to prevent the winning of the other
games of the series
After yesterdays game Hen Berry wore a
broad smile as he sauntered up into the grand
Standard well he might, for the men have
been playing fine ball.
Los Angeles goes home with the Oakland
team for a series of six games and let us hope
that they will have luck all their way and 10
the same to the late visitors on their own dia-
mond they did at home
From Oakland the men will go to Portland
for a series of six games and while the men
lave not the slightest fear of being defeated
in a majority of the games in the northern
state, they will have a rather tough time, for
Portland is improving of late and might be
able to give Los Angeles hard run for its
money on the home diamond.
From the series with Portland, the Angels
return to California for six games with the
Seals at their home town. Mess Berry picks
UP the old hoodoo that he annexed for time
In San Francisco, he has not much to fear if
the men play as we'll away from home as they
do in their native city.
From San Francisco they go to Oakland for
week and then again to Portland and from
there they return for just two weeks to Los
Angeles. The team is in fine condition now
and have been playing championship bail
from the beginning of the season. Let us
fope that while they on the northern trip
that they do not join hands with hoodoo or
pick up any unlucky pennies.

Special to The Herald.
TACOMA, Wash, July 1.-two black
cats and a Japanese bellboy furnished
quite a circus in the Tacoma hotel lobby
the other night, and it was some few min
utes before the Jap fully solved the riddle
that he was up against. The cats had
lust gradua ted from the kitten stage, ana
were still what the men called gaxKI
and what the ladies called cute, and they
had stolen into the lobby from their abode
out in the garden and were frisking ABOUT
one of the fern filled ireplaces The eagle
eve of Chief Clerk Kinlock spotted the
cats, and he tapped the call bell and told
one of the answering Japs to remove the
offending felines.
AS the Jap turned around one of the
cats was hiding in the ferns, while the
other was in plain sight. Ogara Futi-
moto beat it for the visible cat, which
promptly ducked into the ferns, driving
its twin out. Ogara hiked him after the
cat, which lodged under settee and dis

door Well satisfied with tie work he had
done, the Jap turned back to the fire.
place just in time to Sc the other cat start
in a sable streak for the dining room
Ogara was plainly surprised, and headed
the cat off by quick work, driving it back
to the fireplace.
He poked around in among the ferns
after the beast, and so busy was he at
this that he did not see the twin beast
return from the protection of the settee
by the door and try to get into the game
Finally he got glimpse of 1t, and with a
alrick jiu jitsu dive clasped the scratching
bundle of fur and carried it out to the
porch. He returned quickly and shut the
door, only to see the other cat standing
done, the Jap turned back to the fireplace
Just in time to see the other cat start
the pursuit all over again. He caught the
second cat and planted 1t on the porch
but left the door open as he did so, and
the first feline returned.
Coming back the Jap carefully closed
the door with a look of triumph on his
face, and then glanced about the lobby.
Sitting before the fireplace, looking at the
mermaids, was the other cat. This was
too much for the son of samurai, and
he said things that were violent. Then
one of his fellow countrymen enlightened
him, and after a strenuous few minutes
succeeded in getting both cats outside and
scared away. AS he returned to the seat
in the lobby where the boys wait for
business he smiled. "At first l thought
the cat came back" he said, 'but l guess
that was not it, yes"

BIRD GRATEFUL FOR
SETTING BROKEN LEG
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
LOCK HAVEN, Pa, July 14.--About six
weeks ago Hugh McGill, who resides in
the eastern part of the city. noticed an
old robin fluttering in the grass in front
of his home. After some effort he caught
it with his hands and discovered that one
of the robins legs was broken.
Taking redbreast into the house, he
washed the bones, applied splints and
carefully bandaged the leg. To his sur
prise the bones knitted, and soon the leg
was found to be as good as ever.
The robin was given its freedom, but
in appreciation of the kind act 1t comes
about the house many times every day
and has become so tame that it will eat
crumbs from McGills hand. The bird has
nest in nearby tree, and on being
called by McGill invariably flies to him.
