measure will determine whether Venice
or some other seaside city will get the
franchise that is to be awarded to a
fifth club in the coast league next Win
ter. Berry believes the Venice fans
will support a team in the coast league
and is of the opinion that Sunday
morning games for the remainder OF
the 1908 season will prove the correct
ness of his theory. OF course there
would not be the same enthusiastic
support given to an outside team that
would be given to a Venice team, but
there should not be much difference in
attendance.
McCredie and the Portland team ar
rived last evening from San Francisco
and will begin a six-game series at the
Chutes this afternoon. There are sew
eral postponed games to be played OH
between the Angels and Beavers, ana
1t is probable that one will be played
at Venice next Sunday morning ana
one or more will be double-headed at
the Chutes during the week. Judge
Maggie is due to go on the mound this
afternoon and Groom probably will OPP
pose him. The Angels and Beavers
will fight for dear life in this series,
as 1t may mean first place for one ana
third for the other. If the Beavers
take four in six games they Will pc
tied with the Angels for first place.
If the Angels win five in six games the
Beavers are apt to dwindle down the
line into third place, with probably a
cellar position for their weeks work.

Entries to the various classes of COM
petition for the Pasadena dog show are
pouring into the office of Secretary
William F. Holtz at rate that justi-
fies all the optimistic predictions of the
members of the Pasadena Kennel club.
under whose auspices the show is to
be held Friday and Saturday. All
classes are filling nicely and the COM
petition promises to be unusually keen.
owing to the number of high-class dog
gies that will be on the benches.
An attractive list of prizes has been
published, and numerous cups are Of
fered for the winners in all classes.
The free-for-alls include the presidents
cup, offered by Freeman Ford, presi-
dent of the club, for the best dog in
the show, regardless of breeding. A
cup, to be known as the Tournament of
Roses trophy, is offered by the tour
nament association for the best brace.
Another cup that will excite great COM
petition Is that offered by the Arroyo
kennels, a challenge trophy, for the
best dog bred in California. Montgom-
cry brothers offer a cup for the best
dog owned and exhibited by woman.
Nineteen other cups are offered for the
best dog in the different specified
breeds to be shown and handsome
dog collar will be presented to the best
fox hound exhibited.
The officers of the kennel club are .
Freeman A. Ford, president: Kingsley

legislation, Mr.. Keene voices the senti-
ments of practically every sportsman In
America, and ne will find ready re-
Spouse from every section when the
National Sporting league is desired to
be extended beyond the limits of the
Empire state. This same movement
has been discussed for several months
in Los Angeles, and now that the initia-
tive has been taken by the leading
sportsmen of the east 1t will be easy
to get things going in this state.
The primary object of the league, of
course, is to obtain redress at the
polls for wrongs done to the various
branches of sport through the in
fiuence of an unopposed wave of reform
that has gone beyond it's rightful limit
because 1t has been unopposed and free
to spread to the widest extent. In this
sort of campaign, however, the In
fiuence to be exerted will be the votes
of the league members and not in the
form OF corruption fund. Men of high
character and standing in the world
like Keene, the Whitneys. the Bel
monts, the vanderbilts and others of
the same type lend dignity and char
acter to the organization that cannot
fall to have a powerful influence. And
now that the sporting fraternity is or
ganizing to fight it's organized foes the
fight may be said to be fairly on and
great battle should ensue.

THRILLING EXPERIENCE
OF Five Prominent Prince Edward Is
land Men In Drifting Ice.

CharuttetoWn, p. +. T.. April 2
Five prominent Prince Edward Island
men mad a thrilling experience during
Il olin'ling snow storm today and mar
rowly escaped being swept out to sea.
Under the influence of the high tide
and wind, the ice in the West river
broke loose from it's winter moCring
and moving in a solid mass swept sea-
ward with an awful rush. Shortly be-
fore the ice broke away. a row boat
had left Rocky Point containing John
Mcmillan, a member of the local Par
lament, James Mclean, William NC
Lonaid, William Williams and T. S.
Curry. They were bound for Charlotte
town and when they started on their
journey there was practically clear
water before them. When nearly half
way over they encountered the first
pack Of the river ice rapidly floating
out to sea. Their efforts to evade it
were of no avail and their boat was
caught i'll the mass and carried out
towards the harbor'S mouth. There
was great danger that the boat would
be smashed among the blocks of heavy
ice and in order to avoid that calaln-
ity they had to jump out, haul the
boat on the ice and drift with it until
they had favorable opportunity to
at Murpny'S point on the other side Of
the harbor. Every man was drenched
through as all were in the water, and
their clothing was frozen to their
bodies when they reached the land.
