LOCAL CYCLISTS TO
RACE AT RIVERSIDE

Early tomorrow morning several
members of the Los Angeles Motor
cycle club will start for Riverside to
attend the races to be held there the
afternoon Of the Fourth. The track
is reported to be very fast. and as
several OF the local riders have en-
tered the several events the Riverside
boys will be given hard rides to keep
the trophies in their home town. The
track is a half-mile oval and with
steeply banked turns a high rate of
speed can be maintained without
skiddinS.
In the evening after the races a
banquet and dance has been arranged
for the visitors. At the dance all the
visitors have been requested to attend
in riding costume and a novel spec
tacle undoubtedly will be witnessed
when the fair maidens who go out
awheel glide over the floor dressed in
their short skirts and leather leggings.
A pleasure trip will be made around
Riverside Sunday during the morning
to view points of interest, and in the
afternoon the return to Los Angeles
Will be made.

ASSASSINATE HoRRID THING
IN EIGHTH
BOYS RECOVER THEIR BATTING
EYES SUDDENLY
After Sustaining Seven Straight De-
feats, 6erry's Wonders Get Back
in Form and Win In Slug
glns Bee
AnaeIs 9, Oakland 8

Cap Dillon and his Angel band
assassinated their hoodoo yesterday
and won the game with Oakland, after
having sustained seven straight de-
feats. About 1000 fans sat through the
proceedings, glad that they were alive
and delighted that they were specta-
tors at the assassination. 1t was the
first time in more than a week that
they had an opportunity to howl their
heads off, and the opportunity was not
wasted.
Hosp twirled a great game, and al
though the felders behind him did not
lgfve him gilt-edged support at all
times they recovered their batting eyes
and swatted the ball as in days of yore,
when all pitchers looked alike to them.
They made an even dozen hits, Ellis,
Brashear and Cakes plunking out
doubles that helped to run the score
up beyond the danger line and dis
hearten any intended final-inning rally
by the Commuters.
It was game in which there never
entered a doubt as to which team
would win. the Angels taking the lead
in the fifth and holding 1t all the way.
The five errors behind Hosp aided the
visitors in scoring their three runs, but
the Improvement in batting was so sud
den and startling that the fans did not
mind little thing like that Now that
the team has broken it's hoodoo, the
fans are willing to forgive and forget
the inglorious defeats that strung out
for such a monotonously long time.
It would not have been necessary
for the Angels to slaughter Hardy in
the eighth inning If the Commuters
had not tied the score in their half.
Dillon was determined there should be
no grand rush of the visitors in the
finals to beat the Angels out in the
last moments of the game, and when
the score was tied he read the riot act
to the boys. and results followed most
satisfactorily.
With the score to in the first half
of the eighth and Angel batterS got
busy and eleven of them faced Mr..
Hardy before the side was retired. Six
hits and as many runs resulted, in the
following manner:
Bernard flew to center, Cakes doubled
TO left, Dillon walked and Brasnear
filled the bases with a single to left.
Smith scored Cakes with a single to
left and Ellis hunted safely, scoring
Dillon. Hardy went on an aerial eX-
cursion and presented Delmas with four
wides and a free pass, forcing Brashear
over the plate with run No 8. Hogan
raised a high one to left, which Cook
obligingly dropped and Smith scored.
Cook threw to third, however, and
nipped Mr.. Ellis scoring ambitions.
Hosp singled to left, scoring Delmas, |
and Bernard singled to right, scoring
Hogan. Then Cakes popped to Ala
man and the victory was won. Hoorayi |
Following is the official score and
summary of the happy event:

the Azusa team and his park will rep
