GAME
OCCURS TODAY
FIGHTERS AND SCRIBES MEET
AT CHUTES
Proceeds VIII Go to Help Cal MoVey,
oId-Tlme Raekstop-Array Of
Clever Talent In the
Contest

This is the day, ladies and gentlemen.
when the big show comes off. One and
all of you, provided the insignificant
sum of twenty-five cents is forthcom-
ing at the gate, will be most welcome
at the Chutes this afternoon, when the
Scribes and the Fighters will play a,
game of real baseball, the proceeds to
go to Cal McVey, in his time one of
the most popular catchers in the
country.
The teams are all ready and from the
looks of things, on paper, anyhow, high
class ball will be played. Both sides
have been practicing for all they are
worth. and while the error column
may loom up prominently when the
result is announced, the finish is sure
to be close.
While the pugs are known to be a
clever aggregation of diamond talent,
the betting is all in favor of the pencil
pushers. Yesterday Molly Mcdonald,
who is managing things for the mitt
artists, raised a kick at the battery
which is going to work for the news
paper men, but there was nothing stir
ring. Molly stated that Pinkey Springer
and Bill Desmond were too formidable
a layout for the pugs to tackle, but as
they are going to play whether he likes

lection.
Even If they do fall before the news
paper men at the game on the diamond.
the fighters will surely be represented
by bunch of talent in their own line
of work In addition to Molly McDon-
aid, who is the acknowledged trainer of
champions, Jimmy de Jeff, Tommy
Burns, Honey Melody, Billy Walsh,
Jimmy Burns, Mooney, Jim Flynn and
several others of equal prominence will
all don uniforms and perform, and if
they are half as good at throwing the
leather as in tossing over hooks and
jabs some of them will change voca-
tions and play ball for a living.
The game will begin at 2:30, when
either Hen Berry or Uncle Tom Nc
Carey, the umpires, will announce the
batteries to the gadding throng. riot
is expected on all close plays, but as
one hundred special police have been
ordered out to the Chutes for the oc-
casion those who occupy the grand
stand need have no fear. 1t behooves
all good sports to be there with their
families, relations and friends, for the
gate receipts will all go in a good
cause, and the more the merrier for
Cal McVey.

GAME POSTPONED
TO FAVOR FIGHT

What was meant as the final game
in the ranks of the winter league ball
players and the one to decide the
championship, broke up in a riot yes
terday, and when the scene of action
had been cleared of the debris the UNI
pire, several players and numerous but
inskis from the ranks of the spectators
were suffering from sundry bruises.
All this happened at Arcadia, where
the Meeks and the Western Hardware
& Arms teams were fighting it out for
the pennant. In the eighth inning one
of the fielders, who didn't like the UNI
pire's looks, threw his fist at that gen.
tleman's face and in landing precipi-
tated a general melee.
Joy and mirth were unconfined for a
few mfnltes, and when the smoke of
battle had been waited away the game
was also gone At the time of the
fielder's-or was it the umpire's-faux
pas, the score stood to in favor of
the Meeks, and there it stayed to the
bitter end.
The umpire failed to leave his name
at the box office before the game, so
his identity could not be established.
Many close and exciting games were
played by the amateurs throughout
Los Angeles county yesterday and the

LADIES MAY GET
REDUCED RATES
j. Cal Ewing, League President, Here
on Visit and Favors Plan.
Judge Mccreedie Stands
in the Way

Hen Berry's little argument in
favor of two-bit baseball for the feni-
inine fans is getting in it's work, and
from the looks of things five nickels
will soon be sufficiency of the coin
of the realm to get the ladies past the
gentlemanly ticket chopper at the
Chutes. Only Judge McCreedie stands
in the way, and as the judge has been
known to yield to the Establishments OF
the fair sex there is still hope in
abundance.
]. Cal Ewing, president of the Pacific
Coast league, was out at the game yes
terday and was asked about the Berry
amendment in regard to cheaper rates
for ladies. According to his statement,
Ewing is in favor of the movement to
make the admission for ladies 25 cents
to both grounds and grandstand, and as
the other magnates, with the exception
of McCreedie, have signified their will
ingneSs to make change, Ewing will
soon be in a position to order a reduce
tion.
The president is not here on anything
special in the line of league affairs, but
simply took a run down from Oakland
to see how the game is going in this
city. The big Sunday crowd showed
how popular the game is in this part OF
the country, and the way the fans
rooted for both teams whenever there
was chance to holler had a nice listen
to the northern man.
Bull Perrine is not in the least in
danger of losing his job, for the way
the crowd stood with Bull made a hit
with Ewing. 1t is the league presidents
duty to hire and fire umpires, and as
the fans agreed with Perrine on every
occasion Ewing saw that all was going
well and is highly satisfied with the in
dicator man he sent here. At that Per-
rine, in direct contrast to the work ne
performed last season, is fast becoming
something like popular with the regu-
lars. and If he keeps up the good work
the Angels will have no cause to COM
plain.

Beat Refugees in Last
Game of Series
President Ewing on Hand to See the
Teams Play Quickest Game Of
Local season-Gray in
Good Form
STANDING OF THE CLUBS
Los Angeles 4, San Francisco 2.

Well, the Refugees have come and
gone and the best they got for the long
jaunt down the coast was chance to
go home second in the standing of the
clubs. Yesterday the Angels trimmed
them in the final game of the series
and showed the biggest crowd of the
season that they knew the national
sport from cover to binding.
On top of the victory for Hen Berry's
men the game was the most rapid of
the season, one hour and twenty-three
minutes being required to get the whole
show over with. President Cal Ewing,
who graced one of the boxes, might
have been responsible for this, as Bull
Perrine, who wanted to show his boss
how to do things, logged the teams
to the bat as fast as he could. Then
the pitchers were all to the good, al
lowing but six hits each, and the error
column isn't hard to write.
Dolly Gray occupied the hill for
Berry, and the way the tall twirler
slung them over for the first few in
nings made the fans think that he
was trying for a new record. Up to
the fifth round Dolly refused to be
cajoled out of safe hit, and at the
end of the same period only fifteen
Refugees had been allowed to bat.
Ashley was there himself with the
benders, and outside of the first, fifth
and seventh acts he refused to loosen
up with the safe ones. In his two bad
rounds, the first and the fifth, Ashley
was helped along by his partners in
crime, and not all of the five runs
gathered by the locals were earned.

Seals Score Near End

Up to the eighth period it looked
like shutout for the Seals, for Gray
had been bending them over with rare
accuracy and skill. Then Dolly's bad
inning came around, and until he saw
Carnes warming up to go in if needed
the lanky twirler was not at all stingy
with hits. The four hits the Refugees
obtained were not enough to pass the
locals, however, and Dolly steadied
down in time to avert a calamity.
The Angels started early to beat
Ashley up, and in the first inning a
brace of hits meant a like number of
runs. The big Sunday crowd wanted
to make some noise, so after Carlisle
had walked Ellis came along and did
the proper thing. The busher had two
strikes called on him before he woke
up, but on the third one he slammed
the ball on the nose for nice hit,
scoring Carlisle and drawing three bags
before the ball had been retrieved from
over in the right-hand corner of the lot
There was so much noise about this
time that Brashear had to use field
glasses to see the ball coming, but Kit
finally sighted one that was made to
order. He landed on it with bing
that caused the fans to awaken all
over again, for Bush Ellis arrived
home long before the sphere was back
in the infield.

Almost One, Two, Three

From there on it was almost one,
two, three on both sides, until the last
part of the fifth round, when the locals
broke loose again. Cravath started
something with single past short and
went on to second, while McClelland.
Street and Ashley were matching dimes
to see which one was elected to handle
Nagle's bunt. Happy Hogan swung
at the third strike and was out when
Cravath started to steal third, but
when Street winged the ball down to
second, thinking Cavvie had started
back, the big right fielder made a slide
for it and landed safe and sound on
the third sack. Gray fouled to Street
back of the plate and Cravath was
able to sneak home when the ball was
sent down to second in an effort to
get Nagle. The Judge was forgotten
for the time being and he kept on to
third without interference while Cavvie
was crossing the pan.
Carlisle was there with an infield hit,
which scored Nagle, and while Ellis
was trying to find one Carlisle was
caught on his way to the keystone
stopping place. This put a quietus to
the bombardment and until the end
Ashley didn't give the Angels another
chance to come even close.

Refugees Get Together

With only two safe bingles to their
credit the Refugees got together in the
eighth and scored two. quick, Nc
Clelland and Street all came up in a
bunch and lined out clean singles, each
man occupying a pillow while Ashley
famed. Spencer pounded out beaut
of a two-sacker to the right-hand gar
den, scoring Quick and McClelland, but
Kid Carlisle slowed things up when
he made a swell running catch Of
Mohler's long foul toward left field
Wheeler ended the show by going out
on hit to Brashear, which was fielded
to Dillon in plenty of time.
Fancy double plays are getting so
common that they are hardly worth
mentioning, but the Angels pulled one
eff in the fifth that has not been dupli-
Gated here this season. After Hide

day and was allowed to walk to first
three times, had flied out, Williams

GLASS IS PECULIAR.


Glass Is one of the most interesting
as well as one OF the most peculiar
things In the world. 1t has curious
and contradictory qualities, and many
astonishing phenomena are connected
with it. Brittle and brcakablc as 1t is,
yet 1t exceeds almost all other bodies
in elasticity.
If two glass balls are made to strike
each other at given force, the recoil.
by virtue of their elasticity, will be
nearly equal TO their original impetus.
Connected with its brittleness are some
very singular facts.
Take hollow sphere with hole
and stop the hole with the finger so
as to prevent the external and internal
air from communicating, and the
sphere will fly TO pieces by the mere
heat of the hand Vessels made OF
